They won't necessarily be void if you leave. Look at it this way. You'd be buying a portion of ownership of said company. Say you were offered 5% equity ownership. If the company you work for is privately held, not everybody is able to buy shares. Let's say the company gets bought out and they go public and become listed on the NYSE. Chances are the stock price, marked-to-market, will be higher than when you bought in. Should you decide to sell at that point, you'd make a nice profit.
Many different scenarios could play out, however.
