An agreement is a formal contract that is legally binding and can be enforced in court, while an MOU is a non-binding document that outlines the general terms and understanding of a relationship.
The agreement should set forth what money is being paid for, i.e., the type of damages, as well as the claims it is being paid on. If some damages are taxable and some are not, the settlement agreement should set out, in as much detail as possible, the proportions and rationale.
