YOUTHFUL OPERATOR means an applicant or any other operator resident in the same household as the applicant, who customarily operates the auto, and is one of the following: a. YOUTHFUL UNMARRIED FEMALE OPERATOR - unmarried female age 24 and younger; b. YOUTHFUL MARRIED MALE OPERATOR - married male age 24 and younger; c. YOUTHFUL UNMARRIED MALE OPERATOR - unmarried male age 24 and younger who is not an owner or principal operator; or d. YOUTHFUL UNMARRIED MALE OWNER OR PRINCIPAL OPERATOR - unmarried male age 24 and younger who is an owner or principal operator. 2. OPERATORS AGE 50 AND OVER a. Subject to paragraph b. and c. below, the Operator Age shall determine the primary classification. b. If all operators in the household are age 50 or over, the classes shall apply to all autos. c. If there are operators in the household under age 50: 1) Any youthful operator class shall apply in accordance with the youthful operator rules. 2) Autos principally operated by an adult under age 50 shall be rated at the All Other or Only Operator Female Age Classification (unless a youthful operator classification is applicable). 3. AGE means the age attained on the last birthday. 4. MARRIED means a married person living with his or her spouse and includes a person widowed, divorced or legally separated only if such person has custody of one or more resident children. 5. PRINCIPAL OPERATOR means: a. an individual whose operation of the auto constitutes 50% or more of its time or mileage use is considered a principal operator; b. each individual who does not qualify as a principal operator as defined in a. above but whose aggregate operation of all private passenger automobiles in the household equals 50% or more of the total time or mileage use of one insured automobile is considered a principal operator for one such automobile; c. if two or more unmarried males age 24 and younger do not individually qualify as principal operator but their combined use of the automobile constitutes 50% or more of its total time or mileage use, the automobile is considered as having a principal operator of the same age as the unmarried male age 24 and younger who is the most frequent operator. The same interpretation applies to situations involving two or more unmarried females age 24 and younger. d. When two or more vehicles are insured for a principal operator with a youthful driver class code, the youthful operator - principal driver factor will apply to the highest rated vehicle whether principally operated or not. The all other class factor will apply to the other vehicles insured. 6. RESIDENT means anyone residing in the same household. Exceptions: a. A person in active military service with the armed forces of the United States of America is not considered a resident in the applicant s household unless this person customarily operates the auto.

7 RULE 3 - CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS (Continued) b. If a YOUTHFUL UNMARRIED FEMALE OPERATOR is a student residing at an educational institution over 100 road miles from the address of the named insured shown on the declarations and does not have a car with her, she is rated under the All Other class on the highest rated vehicle. This does not apply to OTC only vehicles. c. If a YOUTHFUL UNMARRIED MALE OPERATOR is a student residing at an educational institution over 100 road miles from the address of the named insured shown on the declarations and does not have a car with him, he is rated as if he is MARRIED. This does not apply to OTC only vehicles. Note: For the purpose of Exception c., if the rating factor for a married youthful operator is greater than the factor for an unmarried youthful operator, use the lower factor and corresponding statistical code. RULE 4 - CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURE Refer to RULE 3 - CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS for definitions of terms used in this rule. A. Autos owned by an individual, or owned jointly by two or more relatives or resident individuals are classified as follows: 1. PRIMARY CLASSIFICATION a. Classify the auto according to the age, sex and marital status of the operators, the use of the auto and the eligibility of youthful operators Good Student classes, and b. Determine the applicable factor from the Primary Rating Factor tables. Note: The exposure increases considerably when a youthful driver is first learning to drive. It is therefore required that when a youthful driver can legally drive unsupervised, he or she be added to the policy as a driver and the appropriate youthful driver classification be applied on the next renewal date. There are two separate factors for youthful drivers one factor for OTC coverage and one for all other coverage types. In the Primary Rating Factor tables, these are noted as Other/OTC. 2. SECONDARY CLASSIFICATION a. Determine if the auto is: 1) a single car; or 2) part of a multi-car risk. b. Refer to the Safe Driver Insurance Plan to classify operators according to the provisions of the Plan. c. Refer to the Secondary Rating Factor table to determine the appropriate factor to be added to, or subtracted from the Primary Rating Factor to determine the Total Rating Factor. 3. The applicable Youthful Operator Classifications shall be applied as follows: Determine the number of Youthful Operators and the Primary Rating Factor for each at the Pleasure Use Classification. a. If there are more cars than Youthful Operators, or an equal number of cars and Youthful Operators, assign operators to cars as follows: 1) Each principal Youthful Operator to the car principally operated; 2) Remaining Youthful Operators to remaining cars in the order of highest rated Youthful Operator to the car with the highest Total Base Premium without regard to the cars operated; and 3) Any remaining cars at the appropriate No Youthful Operator classification. 4) If an insured is provided with a company vehicle that vehicle will be considered as their primary auto and therefore that person should not be rated on a vehicle on the policy. Minnesota (Ed. 005) New Business North Star Mutual Ins. Co. PA - 5 Renewals

8 RULE 4 - CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURE (Continued) b. If there are more Youthful Operators than cars, assign Youthful Operators to cars as follows: 1) Select the Youthful Operators with the highest Pleasure Use rating factors equal to the number of cars. 2) Of those selected in paragraph 1), assign any principal operator to the cars they principally operate. 3) Of those remaining after principal operator assignment in paragraph 2), assign operators to cars in the order of highest rated Youthful Operator to the car with the highest Total Base Premium. After assigning Youthful Operators to cars on the basis of the primary Pleasure Use factors, each factor must be adjusted for the actual car use before determining and applying the Secondary Rating Factor. c. If the TOTAL BASE PREMIUM is the same for each car, the classification for any youthful operator who is not the principal operator of any of the autos is applied to the auto with the lowest rated use classification. TOTAL BASE PREMIUM is the sum of the base premiums for Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability, No-Fault, Other Than Collision (OTC) and Collision coverages that apply to the auto. 4. SINGLE CAR RISKS AND MULTI-CAR RISKS a. Single Car Risks If the number of youthful operators exceeds the number of autos, the Youthful Operator Classifications with the highest Primary Rating Factors apply. In determining such classifications, any Good Student qualification shall apply. b. Multi-Car Risks The applicable Multi-Car Rating Factor applies if more than one private passenger auto is owned by an individual or owned jointly by two or more resident relatives, and two or more such autos are insured in North Star for any of the following coverages: Bodily Injury Liability, Property Damage Liability, No-Fault, Other Than Collision (OTC) or Collision insurance. The vehicle operators must be resident relatives of the insured's household. For purposes of this rule, a relative shall include the following persons: Spouse; Child, adopted child, stepchild or grandchild; Parent, stepparent or grandparent; Brother or stepbrother; or Sister or stepsister. Motor Homes, Farm Trucks, or trailers are not eligible for the Multi-Car discount and do not qualify other vehicles for the Multi-Car discount. B. CLASSIFICATION CHANGES Compute premium adjustments on a pro-rata basis when changes in Primary and Secondary Rating Classifications are made. This includes the addition or deletion of an operator during the policy term. Exceptions: 1. A policy shall not be changed mid-term because of the attained age of an operator of the auto. 2. A policy shall not be changed mid-term to affect a change in the Driving Record Sub-Classification. 3. A policy shall not be changed mid-term solely due to a change in symbol assignment based on a review of loss experience for vehicle series rating by the Insurance Services Office.
