1. Shareholder Rights and Obligations: The agreement should clearly outline the rights and obligations of each shareholder, including voting rights, rights to dividends, and responsibilities regarding the management and operation of the company.

2. Share Transfer Restrictions: Shareholder agreements often include restrictions on the transfer of shares to third parties. These restrictions may require shareholders to offer their shares to existing shareholders before selling them to outsiders (pre-emption rights) or impose limitations on transfers to ensure control and stability within the company.

3. Management and Decision-Making: The agreement may address matters related to the management and decision-making process of the company, such as the appointment and removal of directors, procedures for board meetings, and decision-making thresholds for significant corporate actions.

4. Dividend Policy: Shareholder agreements may establish guidelines for the distribution of dividends, including the timing and frequency of dividend payments and any conditions or criteria that must be met before dividends are declared.

5. Dispute Resolution Mechanisms: To address potential disputes among shareholders, the agreement may include mechanisms for resolving conflicts, such as mediation, arbitration, or buy-sell provisions that allow shareholders to buy out the shares of a dissenting shareholder in certain circumstances.

6. Exit Strategies: Shareholder agreements often outline exit strategies for shareholders, including procedures for selling shares, rights of first refusal, drag-along and tag-along rights, and provisions for handling the death, disability, or bankruptcy of a shareholder.

7. Confidentiality and Non-Compete Clauses: To protect the company’s interests, the agreement may include confidentiality provisions that restrict shareholders from disclosing proprietary information and non-compete clauses that prevent shareholders from engaging in activities that compete with the company.

8. Shareholder Funding and Capital Contributions: If shareholders are required to make capital contributions or provide funding to the company, the agreement should specify the amount, timing, and terms of these contributions.

9. Amendment and Termination: The agreement should include provisions outlining how it can be amended or terminated and the procedures for obtaining the necessary shareholder approvals for such actions.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: Finally, the agreement should specify the governing law and jurisdiction that will apply in the event of any disputes arising under the agreement.
