4. Term and termination — at-will vs. fixed; Cause/Good Reason definitions; notice/cure; severance; CIC treatment
5. Governing law — jurisdiction, dispute forum
6. Equity plan — plan name, award type, vesting schedule, award agreement
7. Restrictive covenants — jurisdictional limits, consideration, permitted scope

Flag any missing items before drafting.
