(3) Totaling the results of section 11(b)(2)

if there is more than one varietal group;

(4) Multiplying the total production to

count (see section 11(c)), of each varietal

group if applicable, by its respective price

election;

(5) Totaling the results of section 11(b)(4)

if there is more than one varietal group;

(6) Subtracting the result of section 11(b)(4)

from the result of section 11(b)(2) if there is

only one varietal group or subtracting the

result of section 11(b)(5) from the result of

section 11(b)(3) if there is more than one

varietal group; and

(7) Multiplying the result of section

11(b)(6) by your share.

For Example

You have a 100 percent share in 50 acres

of varietal group A prunes in the unit, with

a guarantee of 2.5 tons per acre and a price

election of $630.00 per ton. You are only able

to harvest 10.0 tons. Your indemnity would

be calculated as follows:

(1) 50 acres × 2.5 tons = 125.0 ton guarantee;

(2) 125.0 tons × $ 630.00 price election =

$78,750.00 value of guarantee;

(4) 10.0 tons × $630.00 price election =

$6,300.00 value of production to count;

(6) $78,750.00¥$6,300.00 = $72,450.00 loss;

and

(7) $72,450.00 × 100 percent = $72,450

indemnity payment.

You also have a 100 percent share in 50

acres of varietal group B prunes in the same

unit, with a guarantee of 2.0 ton per acre and

a price election of $550.00 per ton. You are

only able to harvest 5.0 tons. Your total

indemnity for both varietal groups A and B

would be calculated as follows:

(1) 50 acres × 2.5 tons = 125.0 ton guarantee

for varietal group A and 50.0 acres × 2.0

tons = 100.0 ton guarantee for varietal

group B;

(2) 125.0 ton guarantee × $630.00 price

election = $78,750.00 value of guarantee

for varietal group A and 100.0 ton

guarantee × $550.00 price election =

$55,000.00 value guarantee for varietal

group B;

(3) $78,750.00 + $55,000.00 = $133,750.00

total value guarantee;

(4) 10.0 tons × $630.00 price election =

$6,300.00 value of production to count

for varietal group A and 5.0 tons ×

$550.00 price election = $2,750.00 value

of production to count for varietal group

B;

(5) $6,300.00 + $2,750.00 = $9,050.00 total

value of production to count;

(6) $133,750.00¥$9,050.00 = $124,700.00

loss; and

(7) $124,700.00 loss × 100 percent = $124,700

indemnity payment.

(c) The total production to count (in tons)

from all insurable acreage on the unit will

include all harvested and appraised

production of natural condition prunes that

grade substandard or better and any

production that is harvested and intended for

use as fresh fruit. The total production to

count will include:

(1) All appraised production as follows:

(i) Not less than the production guarantee

per acre for acreage:

(A) That is abandoned;

(B) That is sold by direct marketing or sold

as fresh fruit if you fail to meet the

requirements contained in section 10;

(C) That is damaged solely by uninsured

causes; or

(D) For which you fail to provide

acceptable production records;

(ii) Production lost due to uninsured

causes;

(iii) Unharvested production; and

(iv) Potential production on insured

acreage you intend to abandon or no longer

care for, if you and we agree on the appraised

amount of production. Upon such agreement,

the insurance period for that acreage will

end. If you do not agree with our appraisal,

we may defer the claim only if you agree to

continue to care for the crop. We will then

make another appraisal when you notify us

of further damage or that harvest is general

in the area unless you harvested the crop, in

which case we will use the harvested

production. If you do not continue to care for

the crop, our appraisal made prior to

deferring the claim will be used to determine

the production to count; and

(2) All harvested production from the

insurable acreage.

(d) Any prune production harvested for

fresh fruit will be converted to a dried prune

weight basis by dividing the total amount (in

tons) of fresh fruit production by 3.0.

(e) Any production of substandard prunes

resulting from damage by insurable causes

will be adjusted based on the average size

count as indicated on the applicable Dried

Fruit Association (DFA) Inspection Report

and Certification Form. Any insurable

damage will be adjusted by:

(1) Dividing the value per ton of such

substandard prunes by the market price per

ton for standard prunes (of the same size

count); and

(2) Multiplying the result by the number of

tons of such prunes.

12. Written Agreements

Terms of this policy which are specifically

designated for the use of written agreements

may be altered by written agreement in

accordance with the following:

(a) You must apply in writing for each

written agreement no later than the sales

closing date, except as provided in section

12(e);

(b) The application for a written agreement

must contain all variable terms of the

contract between you and us that will be in

effect if the written agreement is not

approved;

(c) If approved, the written agreement will

include all variable terms of the contract,

including, but not limited to, crop type or

varietal group, the guarantee, premium rate,

and price election;

(d) Each written agreement will only be

valid for one year (If the written agreement

is not specifically renewed the following

year, insurance coverage for subsequent crop

years will be in accordance with the printed

policy); and

(e) An application for a written agreement

submitted after the sales closing date may be

approved if, after a physical inspection of the

acreage, it is determined that no loss has

occurred and the crop is insurable in

accordance with the policy and written

agreement provisions.
