Thanks, I read and re-read your post and have a better understanding as to how the COURT looks at things but I still do not understand how clear language in an addemdum to a contract agreed upon by two parties and signed by both and incorporated by both that contains the clear language with the word "SUPERCEDE" in it can just be ignored by a court. As you put it the court is attempting to understand what the original intent was, however, is not the subsequent addemdum, superceding the first to be taken into account as to what "the intent of the parties were in this action????
