5 ALLEGANY CO-OP INSURANCE COMPANY DWELLING FIRE/CPL AND OLT 1-4 FAMILY DWELLINGS UNDERWRITING RULES AND GUIDELINES I. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Allegany Co-op s Dwelling Fire Program has been designed for maximum flexibility to allow placement of a wide range of home construction types, ages, home values and occupancies in the program. The program seeks to recognize these varied risk characteristics through both selection criteria and pricing mechanisms. It is of utmost importance that agents using this program carefully follow program eligibility rules and product pricing rules. Fully completed applications with current and clear photographs of the property are minimum requirements to receive consideration by our underwriters. II. APPLICATION FORMS In order to underwrite this market segment Allegany Co-op requires the use of fully completed ACORD Dwelling Fire application forms that incorporate both a basic rating and policy information section and a complete underwriting section. In addition Allegany Co-op requires a completed and signed State of New York Anti-Arson Application as a required supplement for this program. This customized application needs to be completed in full in all instances even in territories where regulation does not require the use of the New York Anti-Arson application. Complete information allows Allegany s underwriting unit to handle this segment with minimal intervention. III. UNDERWRITING APPROACH Allegany s underwriting selection process applies basic C O P E underwriting criteria in assessing each risk. C O P E is a four part assessment process that evaluates each property based on the following merits: CONSTRUCTION--Construction type (frame, masonry veneer, masonry or other) is included in this analysis as well as an evaluation of the quality and integrity of the construction. This includes any updates of roof and roof coverings, wiring and electrical systems, plumbing and heating systems. The use of Allegany Co-op s Renovated Home Questionnaire (RHQ) can greatly assist in this analysis. OCCUPANCY Underwriters need to evaluate properties for the number of apartment or dwelling units as well as for the quality of the occupants as evidenced by both exterior and interior housekeeping around the property. Any unoccupied or vacant units or structures must be noted on the application for accurate rating and coverage grants.

6 PROTECTION The quality of each municipality s fire department is developed by insurance rating organizations. The protection classification shows the capability of each municipal fire department and the available water sources for fighting fires. Just as important is the internal protection provided for each property. Internal protection devices such as: Smoke Detectors-including hard wired systems on multiple family units 2. Dead Bolt Door Locks 3. Alarm Systems 4. Carbon Monoxide Detectors 5. Adequate Fire Escapes on multi-story dwellings 6. Emergency Lighting in Hallways These devices are all important means for protecting dwelling properties and their inhabitants. EXPOSURES The proximity of vacant and uncontrolled commercial or residential buildings requires special underwriting care. Allegany Co-op does not write property where exposing properties are either vacant, or in poor condition. Such conditions raise the potential for exposure losses. The application forms should note the distance from the subject home and description of all exposing properties that are in either poor condition or are unoccupied. PROPERTIES REQUIRING PRIOR COMPANY UNDERWRITING APPROVAL BEFORE BINDING The following situations require full underwriting review before binding authority can be exercised. This review enables smooth business flows with a minimum of coverage or binding disputes. Without prior company approval the following types of property cannot be bound. 1. Dwellings that have been cancelled or non-renewed by another company or by Allegany Co-op during the past 5 years; 2. Dwellings that are vacant or are unoccupied at the time of binding or submission to the company; 3. Dwellings where the insured is known to have poor premium payment history; 4. Properties where there is any horse exposures or animal boarding on premises. For any property where there is the presence of large farm animals, special underwriting consideration must be given. The condition of fences, the proximity of animals to roadways, and the knowledge and experience of the owners in caring for and handling these animals are all important considerations. Our underwriters will need full disclosure about these animals.

7 PROPERTIES WITH UNACCEPTABLE EXPOSURES The following exposures are unacceptable to the company. The company underwriting staff will reject coverage for these exposures Vacant properties that do not have a plan for sale or future occupancy or in instances where no one is managing and regularly checking the property. 2. Homes with substandard maintenance The company makes a concerted effort to conduct inspections of all habitational properties when written as new business and also will conduct periodic follow-up inspections on renewals. Elements of substandard maintenance can be readily observed. Some of the common items indicating that a dwelling will not meet the company s underwriting standards are the following: a. Poor Housekeeping both in the exterior and the interior of the property. Evidence of trash and junk lying around the premises is cause for concern; b. The presence of any homemade wood burning stoves or furnaces or unapproved installation of solid fuel burning systems; c. Deteriorated Roof conditions Look for excessive build-up of moss, curled or missing shingles, extensive roof patching and general roof covering brittleness; d. Electrical System Problems Observe uncovered junction boxes, use of extension cords, temporary wiring, outdated and low amp electrical services that cannot handle modern electrical demands; e. Plumbing System Problems Watch for any signs of water damage to floors, ceilings and walls, presence of outdated plumbing fixtures or incomplete or inadequate plumbing repairs; f. Liability Hazards Lack of handrails, broken or rotted porch floors, torn carpeting, broken chimneys, raised sidewalks, unsecured antennas and inadequate rain gutters or gutter discharges on steps and walkways are all liability hazard concerns that need to be addressed; g. Wood burning appliances are not permitted in tenant occupied properties. h. Swimming Pools are not permitted on tenant occupied premises. 3. Homes with unfenced in-ground swimming pools New York State law requires all in-ground swimming pools be protected with adequate fences and self locking-self-closing gates. Regulation part 744 and (f) of the New

8 4. York State Uniform Fire and Building Code requires a high degree of care on the part of in-ground pool owners. Allegany Co-op will not write tenant occupied risks with any pool exposure on premises. For owner occupied dwellings the company will insure only pools that meet the protection requirements of the regulation. Diving Board exposures are not permitted. 4. Dog Breed and Dog Disposition No homeowner will readily admit that their own dog may be a hazard, however a sizeable percentage of liability claims for dwellings are paid for dog bite claims. Any aggressive dogs whether owned by a property owner or a tenant must be noted on the application. Dog breed for any dogs must also be noted. The following breeds are known to be aggressive. a. Rottweiller b. Pit Bull c. Doberman d. Siberian Husky e. German Shepard f. Akita g. Chow Any dog can be aggressive and the training and discipline exercised by the owner is a factor as important as a breed of dog. Allegany Co-op inspectors are required to note on their reports of any aggressive behavior exhibited by dogs regardless of dog breed. The company reserves the right to decline or to non-renew policies where aggressive dogs have been reported. The company may require a signed dog exclusion that excludes any coverage for claims arising out of the ownership, care, or control of dogs around the dwelling if the underwriter makes any exception with regard to dog breeds and disposition. 5. Bankruptcy during the past 5 years Any bankruptcy filing by an insured within the past 5 years will make the account unacceptable. 5. Submissions where the application information is incomplete. IV. PROPERTY VALUATION AND MARKET VALUE CONSIDERATIONS Under Allegany s Dwelling Fire Program coverage is only offered on an ACTUAL CASH VALUE BASIS. Due to the fact that a majority of properties insured under this program will be older properties having a reduced or limited market value Allegany Coop will only insure Coverage A values of up to 1.5 times the current market value for

9 5. occupied properties and only at current market value for unoccupied or vacant properties otherwise qualifying for coverage. We will establish market value based on either current price paid plus any improvements for recently purchased properties or by valuing other substantially similar properties held for sale in the neighborhood area of the property being insured. Since the dwelling property form does not have a coinsurance provision, partial losses are settled based on a flat ACV loss settlement. Where additional living expense or Loss of Rents Coverage is desired, the Coverage A Dwelling Value should be increased by + 10% since this coverage is determined at either 10% of Coverage A or 20% of Coverage C and is included in the basic policy form. IV. AGENT S BINDING AUTHORITY FORM 1 BASIC PERILS Minimum Coverage A $ 15,000. Maximum Coverage A $ 200,000. FORM 2 BROAD PERILS Minimum Coverage A $ 25,000 Maximum Coverage A $ 225,000 LIABILITY COVERAGE Occupied Dwellings $300,000 Vacant or Unoccupied $100,000 V. RATING SEQUENCE 1. Classify residence by construction type, age, territory zone, and public protection available. 2. Consult rate table to obtain appropriate rate per thousand for coverage s A-D. 3. Apply any rate surcharges. 4. Apply deductible credit or debit to the rate per thousand to multiply to coverage amount to get a base premium. 5. Add premium for higher liability with medical payments. Examples: $4.50/k x $50,000 = $225 Base Premium $4.50/k x (5% deductible credit) = $4.27/k x $50,000 = $214 Base Premium Vacant Dwelling Example: $4.50 x $4.50 = $9.00 x (5% deductible credit) = $8.55/k x $50,000 = $428 Base Premium

17 ALLEGANY CO-OP INSURANCE COMPANY 2007 FIRE RATE MANUAL TIER II PROGRAM This program is available for dwellings that would not normally be accepted by the company underwriter because there are certain unacceptable exposures present or there are conditions that would normally require prior underwriting approval.

The following are conditions that will require Tier II submissions: 1. Policies where the insured has had a poor premium payment history and cancellation for non-payment of premiums. 2. Properties having some elements of poor housekeeping either on the exterior or in the interior of the dwelling. 3. Deteriorated roof and rain gutters where there is definite lack of ongoing maintenance present. 4.

21 C. UNACCEPTABLE EXPOSURES The following homeowners exposures are unacceptable to the company. The company underwriting staff will not permit homeowners coverage for these kind of exposures. 1. Homes that are vacant; 2. Homes having substandard maintenance The company makes a practice of conducting safety inspections on selected new business periodically on renewals. Elements of substandard maintenance can be readily observed. Some of the common items indicating that the home will not meet the company s underwriting standards are the following. a. Poor housekeeping both exterior and interior look for the presence of trash and junk lying around the property; b. The presence of any homemade wood burning stoves or furnaces; c. Deteriorated roof condition watch for build up of moss, curled or missing roof shingles evidence of extensive roof patching; d. Evidence of electrical system problems uncovered breaker boxes or junction boxes, use of extension cords, temporary wiring, over fusing, outdated or inadequate wiring and service; e. Evidence of plumbing problems water damage to floors, ceilings and walls, outdated plumbing fixtures, evidence of incomplete plumbing repairs; f. Liability hazards lack of handrails, broken or rotted porch floorboards, torn carpeting, broken chimneys, raised sidewalks and insecure television antennas. 3. Homes with unfenced in-ground pools New York State law requires that all in-ground pools have adequate fences with self-closing locking gates. Regulation part 744 and (f) of the New York State Uniform Fire and Building Code requires a high degree of care on the part of in-ground pool owners. The exposure to small children makes an unfenced in-ground pool an uninsurable hazard. 4. Pools with diving boards. 5. Dog Breed and Disposition No insured will readily admit that their dog may be a hazard, however a sizable percentage of homeowners loss dollars are paid for dog bites. Any aggressive dogs must be noted on the application along with the breed of any dogs owned by the insured. The following breeds are known to be aggressive. These breeds will be considered only in rare circumstances: ED. 11/01/2004 2

22 a. Rotweiller b. Pit Bull c. Doberman d. Siberian Husky e. German Shepard f. Chow g. Akita Any dog can be aggressive and the training and discipline exercised by the owner is a factor as important as the breed of the dog. Allegany Co-op inspectors are required to note on reports any aggressive behavior exhibited by dogs without regard to the breed. The company reserves the right to decline or non-renew policies where aggressive dogs have been reported. The company requires a signed dog exclusion, excluding claims arising out of the ownership, care, or control of dogs in the household if the Underwriter makes an exception with regard to dog breeds and disposition. 6. Horses, Cattle and Large Animals Whenever there are large farm animals located at the insured premises, special underwriting consideration must be made. The condition of fences, the proximity of animals to traveled roadways, and the knowledge and experience of the owners in caring for and handling these animals are all factors to consider when underwriting the exposures. Our underwriters will need additional information with regard to these items in order to grant binding authority. If the exposure more than a minor one the account will be referred to our commercial farmowners underwriting unit for consideration under the farm program. 7. Homes where the insured is known to have poor financial Management- Bankruptcy within the prior 5 years. 8. Submissions where the application information is not complete. II. UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES Allegany Co-op is able to insure a wide range of homes under its preferred, standard and nonstandard programs. The company uses URB policy forms and has developed these underwriting guidelines to assist its agents in selecting both the pricing track and the coverage program best suited for those homes that fall into the acceptable risk range. The company s underwriting knowledge of the Upstate New York marketing region combined with attractive pricing and superior levels of policy and claims service makes Allegany Co-op the right choice for homeowners insurance. ED. 11/01/2004 3

23 ACORD POLICY APPLICATIONS Allegany Co-op exclusively uses the ACORD application format for all Homeowners submissions. The use of the ACORD format is an industry standard that will prepare the way for the day when we will be able to accept application transactions on line. We require a fully completed ACORD application that is signed both by the prospective insured and by the licensed agent. We will be unable to process or bind coverage where the application is unsigned or the information is not completed. Incomplete applications received without full information will be returned as unbound coverage. REPLACEMENT COST AND ACV OPTIONS Allegany Co-op offers both Replacement Cost and Actual Cash Value Options under its Standard and Non-Standard Programs. Certain homes with relatively low Coverage A values may be accommodated under the ACV program. It is important to note that low valued properties must be correctly evaluated for both their condition and coverage amounts. A current edition cost estimator will develop the replacement cost estimate and must be completed. A depreciation table is used to develop an appropriate ACV amount. Homes that are more than 35 years of age but are otherwise in good condition must have had the following renovations in order to be considered for Replacement Cost Coverage. 1. Roof Covering Replacement within the past 15 years; 2. Electrical System updated with a modern breaker system and a minimum 100 amp service within the past 30 years; 3. Heating system substantially renovated or replaced within the past 25 years; 4. Plumbing system updates with PVC or copper pipes within the past 35 years. *Note: Presence of any galvanized water pipes will require ACV coverage.* Homes that have not met these minimum update requirements will be considered only for Actual Cash Value (ACV) coverage. Use Allegany s Renovated Home Questionnaire RHQ Ed. 1/98 to qualify older homes for replacement cost coverage and the appropriate updated credits applicable under the Standard Homeowners Program. Whenever the home qualifies for Replacement Cost Coverage Allegany Co-op requires that homes be insured for at least 90% of Replacement Cost for the Preferred Alley Cat Program and at least 80% of Replacement Cost for the Standard Program. For Actual Cash Value Policies insured under the Standard Homeowners Program, these homes should be insured for at least 80% of the Actual Cash Value amount as determined by use of the Depreciation Table on the Square Foot Cost Estimator Worksheet. Coverage for lesser amounts may be insured under the Dwelling Fire Insurance Program when the physical risk characteristics are acceptable. RURAL PROPERTIES The Upstate New York market region includes a significant rural population. Insuring homes in rural areas presents some unique exposures in addition to those usual to homes insured in suburban or urban areas. The presence of farm animals, farm structures and part time business ventures operating from the home may make other forms of insurance ED. 11/01/2004 4

24 coverage necessary. Our underwriters will be happy to assist you in determining if homeowners coverage is appropriate or if the account needs to be insured under the Farm Program or with a supplemental commercial policy. With many small farms now having been converted to residential property, the existence of farm barns and structures beyond the normal appurtenant structure is a real possibility. Allegany Co-op has developed a form that excludes coverage for such farm barns to make it clear that the homeowners policy do not cover such farm barns and structures under Coverage B of the Homeowners Policy. Separate fire insurance policies can be purchased to provide coverage for farm barns and structures that are in insurable condition. TRAMPOLINES The injury potential that exists because of the popular trampoline is uninsurable. Allegany Co-op uses the Trampoline Exclusion on all of its homeowners policies. Please advise all of your clients that the Allegany homeowner policy will not respond to claims arising out of the presence or use of trampolines. SOLID FUEL HEATING SYSTEMS Many homes in the New York State Marketing region use solid fuel (wood or coal) supplemental heating systems. Allegany Co-op has successfully underwritten this additional exposure by use of inspections and the Allegany Check List For A Safe Wood Stove Installation. The homeowner product may be used where solid fuel heating systems provide the primary or sole source of heat in the home when the policy is written using the ML-1 form with an ACV valuation. The preferred Alley Cat III product may only be written where there are properly installed wood pellet stoves or wood burning fireplaces as supplemental solid fuel heat sources. For all solid fuel heating proper installation and ongoing maintenance are critical both for life safety and for property preservation. INDIVIDUAL EXPOSURES This underwriting guideline is produced to assist agents in determining how the company views common issues and exposures related to the homeowners line of business. An underwriting guideline is not an exhaustive list of every possible issue or situation that arises. If you have any questions or you perceive that an exposure may create a problem please call our underwriting department for some dialogue and assistance. ED. 11/01/2004 5
