Consider this sentence: After termination, Acme will have 60 days to return to Widgetco any Confidential Information in Acme’s possession.
What category of contract language should that be? Presumably obligation: No later than 60 days after termination, Acme shall return to Widgetco any Confidential Information in Acme’s possession.
How about this one: After termination, Acme will have 60 days to exercise the Option by notice to Widgetco.
What category of contract language should that be? Presumably language of obligation used to express a condition: To validly exercise the Option, Acme must no later than 60 days after termination notify Widgetco that it is doing so.
So X will have [time period] is not only casual but ambiguous. Add it to the no-draft list.
Now the only question is whether I try to shoehorn it into MSCD4.
