However, if you specifically agree in a "contract or

such additional insured which cover's such addi-
tional insured as a named insured, and we will not
share with the other insurance, provided that:
(1) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs, and

less. This endorsement does not increase the
limits of insurance stated in the LIMITS OF

ance still is excess over valid and collectible other
