Contract Glossary
Exhibit
Definition
An exhibit is a document attached to a contract that provides additional detail without cluttering the main agreement. Exhibits contain the specifics — pricing tables, technical specifications, lists of deliverables — that support the general terms. They're legally part of the agreement.
In Practice
A master service agreement between a marketing agency and a client runs 12 pages of general terms. Attached are: Exhibit A (Scope of Work), Exhibit B (Fee Schedule), and Exhibit C (Brand Guidelines). When the client adds a new project, they create a new Exhibit A-2 rather than rewriting the entire contract.
