The EMC Appetite Guide is designed to provide a tool for our Independent Insurance Agents to evaluate EMC InsuranceCompanies appetite for various classifications of risk. Our appetite is based on past experience and classification expertise,and is wide ranging. While using this Guide, remember that no two risks are exactly alike, and that individual risks may bebetter or worse than the norm of the classification involved. Because of individual risk variations within classes, accountswith unacceptable grades may be approved with appropriate justification, while accounts with acceptable grading may not.All potential policyholders must meet EMC Insurance Companies minimum underwriting requirements to be considered.

Following are color coded grading numbers, with explanations to indicate the degree of desirability of theoccupancy/operation to EMC:

1 - Preferred: A desirable class of business, barring unusual conditions not typical of the occupancy/operation and subjectto normal underwriting requirements.

2 D i bl A d i bl l f b i b t h diti i l h d i i th t th i k t h

Appetite Guide for Commercial Insurance

2 – Desirable: A desirable class of business, but has conditions or special hazards requiring that the risk must showcontrols over. Must meet underwriters approval.

3 – Eligible with Proper Characteristics: A marginal class of business, must be better than average in its class to beconsidered and be supported by account or agency reasons. Management approval is required.

4 – Typically Ineligible: Considered extremely hazardous, class is not compatible with EMC Insurance Companiesphilosophy.

" – " The line of business is more properly classified by a different class, the products/completed operations exposure isanticipated within the Premises Operations classification, or there is no exposure for that line of business.
