e. All court costs taxed against the insured in the "suit ". However, these payments do not include attorneys' fees or attorneys' ex- penses taxed against the insured. f. Prejudgment interest awarded against the insured on that part of the judgment we pay. If we make an offer to pay the applicable limit of insurance, we will not pay any prejudg- ment interest based on that period of time after the offer. g. All interest on the full amount of any judg- ment that accrues after entry of the judgment and before we have paid, offered to pay, or deposited in court the part of the judgment that is within the applicable limit of insurance. These payments will not reduce the limits of in- surance. 2. If we defend an insured against a "suit" and an indemnitee of the insured is also named as a party to the "suit ", we will defend that indemnitee if all of the following conditions are met: a. The "suit" against the indemnitee seeks damages for which the insured has assumed the liability of the indemnitee in a contract or agreement that is an `insured contract "; b. This insurance applies to such liability as- sumed by the insured; c. The obligation to defend, or the cost of the defense of, that indemnitee, has also been assumed by the insured in the same "insured contract "; d.. The allegations in the "suit" and the infor- mation we know about the "occurrence" are such that no conflict appears to exist be- tween the interests of the insured and the interests of the indemnitee; e. The indemnitee and the insured ask us to conduct and control the defense of that in- demnitee against such "suit" and agree that we can assign the same counsel to defend the insured and the indemnitee; and f. The indemnitee: (1) Agrees in writing to: (a) Cooperate with us in the investi- gation, settlement or defense of the "suit ", (b) Immediately send us copies of any demands, notices, summonses or legal papers received in connection with the "suit "; (c) Notify any other insurer whose cov- erage is available to the indemnitee; and (d) Cooperate with us with respect to coordinating other applicable insur- ance available to the indemnitee; and (2) Provides us with written authorization to: (a) Obtain records and other informa- tion related to the "suit and (b) Conduct and control the defense of the indemnitee In such "suit ". So long as the above conditions are met, attor- neys' fees incurred by us in the defense of that indemnitee, necessary litigation expenses in- curred by us and necessary litigation expenses incurred by the indemnitee at our request will be paid as Supplementary Payments. Notwith- standing the provisions of Paragraph 2.b.(2) of Section I — Coverage A — Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability, such payments will not be deemed to be damages for "bodily injury" and "property damage" and will not reduce the limits of insurance. Our obligation to defend an insured's indemnitee and to pay for attorney's fees and necessary liti- gation expenses as Supplementary Payments ends when we have used up the applicable limit of insurance in the payment of judgments or set- tlements, or the conditions set forth above, or the terms of the agreement described in Paragraph f. above, are no longer met.
