Claims arising from defendants' entering into side agreements that purportedly interfered with plaintiff's security interest were dismissed where plaintiff failed to plead facts sufficient to show bad faith or that it induced the entry into the side agreements.

The court granted a motion for summary judgment in favor of an insured in this case involving excess coverage.
