a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when Paragraph b. below applies. If this insurance is primary, o ur 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. However, in the event that a written contract, agreement, or permit requires this insurance to be primary for any person or organization with whom you agreed to insure in an insured contract, we will not seek contribution from any other insurance issued to such person or organization.
b. Excess Insurance
(1) 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, Builders’ Risk, Installation Risk, or similar coverage for your work;

(v) With respect to SECTION I – COVERAGES, COVERAGE G – PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY; or

(b) Any other primary insurance available to you covering liability for damages or loss arising out of the premises or operations, or the products-completed operations hazard, for which you have been added as an additional insured.
(2) When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under SECTION I – COVERAGES, COVERAGES A, B, D, E, F, or G to defend the insured against any claim or suit if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that claim or suit. If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so under COVERAGES A or B, but we will be entitled to the insured’s rights against all other insurers. (3) When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the damages, loss, or professional damages or any other amounts provided insurance under the policy, if any, that exceeds the sum of:

If all of the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also.
