Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I negotiated a rent reduction for our commercial property lease. I signed the amendment and have paid rent according to the amendment. I recently received a request from the property manager to sign a Re-Worded version that I feel be idiots the landlord more that the original amendment. I do not have a copy of the original amendment with the property owners signature, just mine. Does this matter, or is the propsal from the property manager with my acceptance/signature a binding agreement. State is California.

Since you signed the original agreement and the landlord has complied with all the terms of the agreement, his/he signature is implies by his/her acts and a binding lease exists. Ask the property manager why they need a new agreement, point out the differences you feel give the landlord more power or rights, and if they do not feel that is the situation then why not stick to the original lease?
