Pitfalls
- Cite exact section numbers from the governing agreement — never paraphrase.
- Use full month names for dates; always specify time zone for deadlines.
- Do not exceed authorized purposes; tie each use to the agreement.
- Apply side-letter modifications only to the applicable investor; keep other terms confidential.
- State remedies verbatim from the agreement; include cure periods and required follow-up notices.
- Verify signatory authority and entity names against formation docs.
- Do not disclose non-public deal terms unless permitted.
- Confirm delivery method complies with notice provisions and any electronic delivery requirements.
- Mirror governing law and jurisdiction — do not introduce new terms.
- Cross-check arithmetic: amounts must be consistent across letter body and schedule.
