WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth the identity, scope and conditions of the Attachments to avoid ambiguity and to allocate responsibilities for delivery, confidentiality and amendment of such Attachments.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and in the LOI, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

1.1. "Attachment" means each document, schedule, exhibit, drawing, data room item, specification or other material identified in Section 3 and designated to be incorporated into the LOI. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the LOI.

4. CONFIDENTIALITY OF ATTACHMENTS

4.1. The parties acknowledge that Attachments may contain confidential, proprietary or trade secret information. Each party shall treat Attachments in accordance with the confidentiality obligations set forth in the LOI.

What Legal Attachments to a Letter of Intent Are and why they matter

Legal attachments to a Letter of Intent are the supporting documents, exhibits, schedules, and ancillary agreements that accompany an LOI to clarify terms and record evidence of negotiated items. They commonly include detailed transaction schedules, confidentiality addenda, due diligence lists, sample agreements, or statutory disclosures. Attachments convert high-level LOI points into referenceable materials for counsel and counterparties, define assumptions used during negotiation, and reduce ambiguity ahead of a binding definitive agreement.

Why clear, complete attachments improve deal clarity

Including well-labeled legal attachments reduces misunderstandings, shortens due diligence cycles, and preserves a clear record of negotiated terms. They help counsel evaluate risk, allow counterparties to verify assumptions quickly, and can limit post-closing disputes by documenting what was intended at the LOI stage.

Why clear, complete attachments improve deal clarity

Who typically prepares and relies on LOI attachments

Several roles prepare, review, or sign attachments to a Letter of Intent depending on transaction type and industry.

  • Corporate counsel and deal teams: Draft exhibits, risk clauses, and legal schedules for review.
  • Acquirers, sellers and brokers: Provide financial schedules, asset lists, and property-specific exhibits.
  • Lenders and investors: Request evidence of liens, title reports, and financial exhibits for underwriting.

Tailor the attachments’ level of detail and authentication to the parties involved — counsel, lenders, and regulators require more formality than informal counterparties.

Six key components to include in professional LOI attachments

A consistent structure and clear labeling make attachments easier to review and rely on during diligence and negotiation.

Exhibit A

Concise statement of the transaction terms or pricing schedule, cross‑referenced to LOI clauses so readers can match summary terms to detailed items.

Schedule of Assets

Itemized list of assets, property descriptions, serial numbers, or contract IDs that are included or excluded from the contemplated deal.

Confidentiality Addendum

Specific confidentiality terms, permitted disclosures, and handling instructions for shared materials during due diligence.

Due Diligence Index

A numbered or tabbed inventory of documents available for inspection, including target locations and any access restrictions.

Representations

Draft or sample representations and warranties the parties expect to include in the definitive agreement.

Signature Page

Designated signature block for attachments that need signing, naming signatory capacity and whether notarization is required.

Essential fields to capture on every attachment

Party Names: Full legal names, no initials
Effective Date: MM/DD/YYYY format
Attachment Title: Clear exhibit title and summary
Version Info: Document version and revision date
Page Count: Total pages, include attachments
Signer Capacity: Signer's title and capacity

Common timelines and expectations for LOI attachments

Set and communicate deadlines clearly to keep diligence and negotiation on track.

LOI Response Deadline:

Date by which counterparty must accept or decline

Due Diligence Window:

Typical 30–90 day review period, specified in LOI

Exclusivity Period:

Timeframe where seller negotiates exclusively with buyer

Target Closing Date:

Projected date for definitive agreement signing

Record Retention Start:

Retention begins from final executed date

Common mistakes when preparing LOI attachments

  • Failing to label versions clearly, which can result in multiple parties relying on inconsistent drafts and create disputes over which terms govern.
  • Omitting signer capacity or authority, leading to unsigned or improperly executed attachments that counsel may later challenge as unenforceable.
  • Including confidential data without a signed NDA or redaction plan, exposing the disclosing party to unnecessary disclosure risk during due diligence.
  • Attaching outdated exhibits without updating cross references in the LOI, causing confusion and potential delays in closing schedules.

Risks and consequences of incorrect attachments

Unenforceability: Non-binding on parties
Breach of Confidentiality: Confidentiality loss
Liability Exposure: Potential indemnity claims
Regulatory Risk: Non-compliance with law
Transaction Delay: Extended closing timeline
Document Rejection: Counterparty refuses acceptance

How LOI attachments differ from related document types
