I'm not trying to be a nitpicker, but this isn't right either. 

Underwriters typically require key management to sign employment
contracts and agree to place restrictions on stock and option shares at
the time of an IPO. If they leave, they lose their stock, but the
restrictions lapse over time. Founders after a buyout have no stock to
lose, the situations are very different. What you see in these cases are
transition and non-compete agreements. 

In the first instance, the company is interested in what the principal
management types continue to do. In the second, after a brief
transition, the focus is on what you want them to not do.
