Operating Agreement Amendment
An operating agreement amendment is a signed document that modifies one or more specific provisions of an LLC's existing operating agreement while leaving the rest of the original agreement in effect. Use this when an LLC's members need to change one or more terms of their existing operating agreement — such as ownership percentages, management structure, or distribution rules — while keeping every other provision of the original agreement in force.
