The Appellate Division held that where one insurance policy provides that it is excess of primary insurance and another provides that it is excess of both primary and excess insurance, the policy that provides that it is excess of only primary insurance must be exhausted before the policy that provides that it is excess of both primary and excess insurance is reached, notwithstanding that the insureds who purchased the policies agreed with each other, but not with the insurers, that the policies would exhaust in the opposite order.
