 To fix a violation of this rule, change the type of the thrown exception to a specific type that's not one of the reserved types.
 
+## Example
+
+```csharp
+// This code violates the rule.
+throw new Exception();
+throw new NullReferenceException();
+throw new IndexOutOfRangeException();
+// ...
+
+// This code satisfies the rule.
+throw new ArgumentException();
+throw new ArgumentNullException();
+throw new InvalidOperationException();
+// ...
+
+// A minimal implementation of inheritance from Exception
+public class CustomException : Exception { }
+
+// Or create your own type that derives from Exception
+// This code satisfies the rule too.
+throw new CustomException();
+```

 ## When to suppress warnings
 
 Do not suppress a warning from this rule.
