• how a policy happens to be labelled is \not dispositive; it is the policy language that controls the attachment of coverage\
• “Only if the two policies were insuring the same risk at the same level of coverage will we proceed to determine whether the ‘other insurance’ clauses conflicted and thus required equitable pro-ration” of defense or indemnity costs
• policy was excess over all \scheduled underlying insurance\ and any \unscheduled underlying insurance\
• ‘‘[t]he inapplicability of secondary coverage until exhaustion of primary limits generally holds true even where there is more underly- ing primary insurance than contemplated by the terms of the secondary policy’’ (internal quotation marks omit- ted)
