## Prompt

```text
Draft an amendment to an existing contract.

**Original agreement:** [title, parties with full legal names, date, and any prior amendments]
**Relevant sections of the original:** [PASTE the exact text being changed]
**What the parties agreed to change:** [e.g. "extend the term to Dec. 31, 2027", "increase fees by 5%", "add a new service"]
**Effective date of the change:** [DATE, or "on signature"]
**Governing law:** [as in the original]
**Signatories:** [names and titles, if known]

Draft the amendment with:
- Title, parties, and recitals identifying the original agreement and prior amendments
- Defined terms consistent with the original ("capitalized terms have the meaning given in the Agreement")
- Each change stated precisely: "Section 4.2 is deleted and replaced with..." or "The following is added as Section 9.5..." - never vague phrases like "the parties agree to update pricing"
- An effective-date clause
- A "no other changes" / ratification clause and an order-of-precedence clause
- Counterparts and electronic signature clause, and signature blocks

Before the draft, list:
- Knock-on effects: other sections, schedules, or defined terms that the change affects and may also need updating
- Anything that may need consents, notices, or approvals (e.g. assignment, change of control, board approval)

Use [CONFIRM] for any party name, date, or section number I have not given you; do not guess. This is a draft only; a qualified lawyer must check it against the full original agreement before signature.
