M&A Process Letter - Interview Question

I stumbled on a M&A process letter interview question. Appreciate some insight for you Monkeys: 

- How would you structure a sell side process letter for Round 1 and 2? What are the typical terms in the letter?

- How does the letter content differ for Round 1 and 2? - I answered one is non-binding and the other is binding

Thanks!
