<br />1. Other Insurance
<br />The insurance afforded by this policy is primary insurance, except when stated
<br />to apply in excess of or contingent upon the absence of other insurance. When
<br />this insurance is primary and the Insured has other insurance which is stated
<br />to be applicable to the loss on an excess or contingent basis, the amount of
<br />the Company's liability under this policy shall not be reduced by the existence
<br />of such other insurance.
<br />When both this insurance and other insurance apply to the loss on the same
<br />basis, whether primary, excess or contingent, the Company shall not be liable
<br />under this policy for a greater proportion of the loss than that stated in the
<br />applicable contribution provision below:
<br />(a) Contribution by Equal Shares. If all of such other valid and collectible
<br />insurance provides for contribution by equal shares, the Company shall not
<br />be liable for a greater proportion of such loss than would be payable if
<br />each insurer contributes an equal share until the share of each insurer
<br />equals the lowest applicable limit of liability under any one policy or the
<br />full amount of the loss is paid, and with respect to any amount of loss not
<br />so paid the remaining insurers then continue to contribute equal shares
<br />of the remaining amount of the loss until each such insurer has paid its
<br />limit in full or the full amount of the loss is paid.
<br />(b) Contribution by Limits. If any of such other insurance does not provide for
<br />contribution by equal shares, the Company shall not be liable for a greater
<br />proportion of such loss than the applicable limit of liability under thi
<br />policy for such loss bears to the total applicable limit of liability of all
<br />valid and collectible insurance against such loss.
<br />8. Subrogation
<br />In the event of any payment under this policy, the Company shall be subro
<br />gated to all the Insured's rights of recovery therefor against any person o
<br />organization and the Insured shall execute and deliver instruments and paper.
<br />and do whatever else is necessary to secure such rights. The Insured shall do
<br />nothing after loss to prejudice such rights.
<br />9. Changes
<br />Notice to any agent or knowledge possessed by any agent or by any othe
<br />person shall not effect a waiver or a change in any part of this policy or estol
<br />the Company from asserting any right under the terms of this policy; nor shal
<br />the terms of this policy be waived or changed, except by endorsement issuer
<br />to form a part of this policy.
