until set aside, modified, or reversed by appropriate appellate 
authority as provided for by said Act.
    This endorsement shall not be cancelled prior to the date specified 
in this policy for its expiration until at least 30 days have elapsed 
after a notice of cancellation has been sent to the District Director 
and to this employer.
    All terms, conditions, requirements, and obligations, expressed in 
this policy or in any other endorsement attached thereto which are not 
inconsistent with or inapplicable to the provisions of this endorsement 
are hereby made a part of this endorsement as fully and completely as if 
wholly written herein.
