Default word order

Hi,

could you please tell me whether the following word order is correct? (I need to end the sentence with "by and between"):

Contract for Work entered into within the meaning of Section 234, paragraph 3 while applying the provisions of Section 548 of the Commercial Code, as amended, by and between:

Thank you very much.

Hanka

The phrase is fine, but these commas are odd: ...,as amended,....

and would the whole sentence be OK without the commas if the words "as amended" relate only to the commercial code?

Ex: Contract entered into by and between...

Yes, I could say it so. I just wonder, whether it would be possible to end the sentence with "by and between:". Do you think that my first version without the commas would be correct?

Thanks a lot.
