Amendment agreement

From our colleagues in the “Thanks for writing in, ISDA” department.

Compare:

with:

Man: Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember, my friend: future events such as these will affect you in the future.

GUESS WHICH ONE IS FROM PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE AND WHICH ONE WAS IN A STANDARD ISDA AMENDMENT AGREEMENT.

Makes you glad to be alive, doesn’t it. Let’s now say we need to amend and restate this amendment. What to do? Can we help ourselves go to town here? No, dear readers, we cannot.

That's better.
