# III. MAINTENANCE OF UNDERLYING INSURANCE

It is a condition of this policy that the Underlying Insurance be maintained in full force and effect except for reduction of the limits of liability of the Underlying Insurance by payment by the Underlying Insurance.

Upon request, the insured must promptly furnish the Company with a copy of the policy(ies) of Underlying Insurance and immediately notify the Company in writing of any change in the Underlying Insurance. Any change not reported to and approved by the Company will not be covered by this policy.

Failure to maintain the Underlying Insurance in full force and effect or to comply with all the conditions contained in the Underlying Insurance will not invalidate this policy, but this policy will apply in the same manner as if the Underlying Insurance were maintained and/or compliance had taken place.

All other terms and conditions of this policy remain unchanged.
