Pete,
I think you missed the meaning of the "in accordance with" part. Kelt's message from earlier today spells out the process from what takes place from Term Sheet to Final Agreement but below is also the Term Sheet description from the same document.

Term Sheets
Negotiations are typically started with a high-level discussion of the goals and purposes of the deal, and who’s going to be responsible for what. Once those conceptual items are agreed on, it’s time for someone to draft a term sheet.
Term sheets can take a lot of different forms, but essentially they are aimed at defining the most essential terms and conditions of the business relationship. Term sheets are almost always non-binding because, by their very nature, they are relatively short and therefore incomplete. However, as negotiations progress, term sheets can evolve and become more comprehensive. Often there are multiple drafts of term sheets, each one adding more detail as the participants in the negotiation understand more and more about what the deal will look like. At some point, the term sheet becomes detailed enough that it becomes time to draft the full agreement. It’s important to note that either side can provide the first term sheet, but generally the party with the most concrete ideas will write the term sheet, and then either side can redraft it as needed throughout the negotiations.
The Full Agreement
Once the full agreement is acceptable to both parties and is signed the partnership begins. Keep in mind that these processes to a deal are generally typical, however, every negotiation is unique and when successful leads to a partnership that is also unique—and more likely to be fruitful.
If a lawyer hasn’t been involved up to this point, this is where a good lawyer with experience in pharmaceutical licensing transactions is absolutely essential.
The full agreement takes the content from the term sheet and adds additional legal language as well as additional terms that may not be in the term sheet, such as how information will be shared, ownership and prosecution of IP, and the ownership of new inventions.
