English term or phrase: comfort blanket

Many contracts have an empty space where the exit schedule should appear. Populating that exit schedule is probably just creating a comfort blanket, as the range of issues relating to exit will need to be dealt with through a range of contractual provisions.

I was thinking of "zoethoudertje" but am open for better suggestions...!
