Your co already has an agreed rate and you're trying to dictate what another company is going to make in their relationship with your client. If the agent and the client has a good relationship then they could rightfully consider you over stepping the mark.
Also, even if you did manage to set their rate to 5% or a flat rate (they'll probably just tell you sure then ignore you because you'll never know), future rate bumps can only come directly from the client rather than you eating the agents margin, so it's arugably not even in your interests.
You definitely want to remove any funny stuff from your contract and you should consider adding provisions to protect you from exclusions in the upper contract, but I don't see why you feel you can dispute terms in the upper contract that don't affect you or your agreement.
