Where this comes from

Every entry is verbatim text from a filed exhibit, quoted with its SEC source. Clause types are assigned from the drafter's own heading where the heading is recognised, and otherwise left untyped. Documents are restricted to purchase and merger agreements, because a clause type resolves in every agreement and pooling deal types produces pages illustrated with the wrong kind of contract.

These are agreements filed with the SEC by public companies. They are not a sample of private mid-market practice, and the frequency shown is how often a text recurs in this corpus, not in the market.

This is information, not advice. It describes how these provisions are commonly drafted; it does not tell you what your own agreement means or what to do about it, and enforceability varies with governing law.
