Contract Modification Question
My broker and I have a disagreement about how a contract modification should be worded.  Among other things, the modification of contract includes additions to the special provisions section of the contract.  It's relevant to note that this is not the first modification we have done on this contract.  

In the original contract, this was stated in the special provision section (as requested by a client &amp; their lawyer): 

&gt; 1.  Seller will deliver Legal Description with metes and bounds to the buyer within 15 days of effective date which will be attached hereto as "Exhibit "A" and be treated as the legal description of the Property for all purposes.

&gt; 2. Seller represents that they own and are conveying land to the mid-point of the old Brown Street (See Exhibit "C").  

In one of the first contract modifications, we checked the box that reads "Paragraph 22 is changed to read as follows:"   (paragraph 22 is the special provisions section.)  Here is what we were *adding* to that section: 

&gt; 3.  Purchaser will pay an additional $1,000 in non-refundable earnest money to be applied toward the purchase price at closing in order to secure a 15-day extension of the inspection period.

So, the question is, what all should be included on the modification to contract in that box that says "Paragraph 22 is changed to read as follows:"      Should we include the already existing provisions with the new addition as well, or should we only include the new addition?    Another question:  If we choose to only include the new addition, does it override the already existing provisions and make it as if they were never there?  Furthermore, if we need to add another addition to the provision section after this one which we presumably already have signed by both parties, do we need to include all of the previous additions or only the new one?  Since we have a signed record of previous modifications, is that good enough, or will the latest modification always override all previous ones? 

Thanks for your help....I know this is getting very convoluted and I'm possibly way over analyzing all of this. 


Just thought of something else that may be relevant to note....the items in each provision bullet point have already been completed at this point.  I'm not sure if that means that they can now go away in all future modifications, or if they still need to be included so we know that they happened.
