Original Text
All substantive clauses and numeric terms must remain unchanged; no rewording during resizing.
A correct resized document reduces ambiguity, preserves signature placement, and helps meet filing or regulatory format requirements. It minimizes downstream review time and supports reproducible records for audits or legal review.
Each party focuses on accuracy: legal checks content, operations confirm format, and signers verify final placement of signature blocks and dates.

Adjusted page numbers, headers, and footers should reflect the new format while preserving cross-references.
Signature fields and dates must remain positioned to avoid overlap or truncation after resizing.
Exhibits must be resized consistently or retained as separate attachments to prevent content loss.
Document properties should note the resizing action, date, and responsible party for audit trails.
