Kate Major Patience (asker) Jun 23, 2008: You legal buffs! I wonder how I'll choose an appropriate answer when they nearly al fit and get decent hits... Thanks a million, ok. :)
Kate Major Patience (asker) Jun 22, 2008: By the way, my interpretation is that it means something along the lines of "for which purpose, the following (clauses) are agreed", but do not know how this is said properly in legal terms, so to speak. :)

Depending on what comes next, you may want to use "upon" or "to" (e.g., "agreed upon" or "agreed to by xxx and yyy").

I hope this helps!
