This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:

**EXCESS LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY**

**SECTION III - INVESTIGATION, DEFENSE AND SETTLEMENT is replaced by the following:**

A. We will have the right to be associated with you or your underlying insurer or both in the investigation of any claim or defense of any suit which in our opinion may create liability for us for "loss" under this Policy. If we exercise such right, we will do so at our own expense and we will have the right to withdraw at any time.

B. We will have the right and duty to defend any suit to which this Policy applies if:
1. all "underlying insurance" has the right and duty to defend such suit; and
2. the "underlying limits of insurance" shown in the Declarations have been exhausted in accordance with SECTION II - LIMITS OF INSURANCE.

C. We will not investigate any claim or defend any suit after we pay our applicable Limits of Insurance.

All other Policy terms and conditions remain unchanged.
