Investopedia explains 'Addendum'

In insurance, endorsement is an addendum attached to the original policy that alters or replaces the previous provisions.

In real estate purchase agreements, an addendum is a document containing any changes or modifications negotiated in the original lease. Usually, an addendum is attached to the signed lease, as a part of the lease, and describes financing terms and property inspection requirements.

For contracts, if the addendum alters a contract, which has already been signed by all parties, it is known as an amendment.
