For purposes of the coverage provided by this endorsement, the following changes apply, and to the

We have no duty, but maintain the right to defend any “insured” against any “suit”. If we choose

Insurance for Liability Coverage shown in the Declarations.
If more than one covered “auto” is involved in the same “accident”, a separate Limit of Insurance
for Liability Coverage shall apply to each covered “auto”.
All “bodily injury” from continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same conditions will
CO
be considered as resulting from one “accident”.
No one will be entitled to receive duplicate payments for the same elements of “loss” under this
Coverage Form and any Uninsured Motorists Coverage Endorsement or Underinsured Motorists
Coverage Endorsement attached to this Coverage Part.
