Avenant- additional clause, addendum or amendment - a clause that modifies one or more provisions of the contract.

Actually - it is a signed agreement modifying a contractual clause, or an "addendum" - addition to a contract, an amendment.

contract and rider


Explanation:
"Rider" and "addendum" are synonyms. They both refer to one or more clauses added to a contract after its signature and changing some aspect of the contractual agreement e.g. volumes of sales, agency commission, working hours or practices etc. In the insurance field, this is usually referred to as an "endorsement".
