Not specified. - Quote defined terms exactly; do not paraphrase scope or exclusivity.
- Flag unusual clauses: MFN, grant-back, no-challenge, broad audit rights, termination at will.
- Call out inconsistencies between exhibits and the main body.
- Assume U.S. context unless the agreement specifies otherwise.
- Do not provide legal advice; summarize and flag issues only.
