Upon review and due consideration of the appellate issues we are of the opinion that the record on appeal reflects several errors, the totality of which warrant the granting of a new trial. In particular, admission into evidence of a Mary Carter agreement in a modified and excised form and later referred to by counsel as a “secret agreement” was prejudicial and contrary to the holdings in Imperial Elevator Co., Inc. v. Cohen, 311 So.2d 732 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975); General Portland Land Development Co. v. Stevens, 291 So.2d 250 (Fla. 4th DCA 1974); Weinstein v. National Car Rentals, 288 So.2d 509 (Fla. 3d DCA 1973); Ward v. Ochoa, 284 So.2d 385 (Fla. 1973). Accordingly, the final judgment is reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial or such other proceedings as may be consistent herewith.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
