I had to ask this question for my education too, I am surprised at the responses. It seems that many agents aren't well versed in these situations. I turned to google to broaden my scope hoping I could find some answers.

Each clause is added to meet the need of the lender. Acceleration clause speeds up the payment so that the balance is due now. The assumption clause explains if the loan is assumable or not. There are too many to explain here but that is the purpose of adding and removing clauses as needed.
