HOMEBUILDER LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY
Paragraph 9 Other Insurance under General Policy Conditions, SECTION IV CONDITIONS, is deleted and replaced with the following:

10. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is available to the insured for a loss we cover under this policy, our obligations are limited as follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when Paragraph b. or d below applies. If this insurance is primary, our obligations are not affected unless any of the other insurance is also primary.

Then, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in Paragraph c. below.
b. Excesslnsurance
A. This insurance is excess over:
a. Any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis:
i. That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or similar coverage for "your work";
ii. That is Fire insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner;
iii. That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; or
iv. If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not
subject to Exclusion d. of Section I -Coverage A- Bodily Injury And Property Damage Liability.
b. Any other primary insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations, or the products and completed operations, for which you have been added as an additional insured.

Page 1 ends

B. When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under this policy to defend the insured against any ffsuit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers.

C. When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of:
a. The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and
b. The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance.

D. We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this policy. c. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first.

If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. d. If prior to an "occurrence" you agreed in a fully executed written contract or agreement, that this insurance would be primary and would not seek contribution from any insurance available to any additional insured then this condition shall not apply, and this policy shall remain excess.

All other terms and conditions of this policy remain unchanged.
