INSTRUCTIONS -ASSIGNMENT OF POOL EOUITY

This form may be prepared by an independent prune grower having equity in the reserve pool or by anyone he owes money to and which obligation the grower wished to cover by this mechanism.

The form provides spaces in the upper left portion for identifying the assignor (independent grower holding equity in the reserve pool) with his name and address and his grower number. The date of such grower’s execution of the form should show in the date space. An “Amount” space is available for showing the dollar amount of an obligation.

The upper right portion of the form provides spaces for identifying the Assignee by name and address. An assignment for a fixed quantity of prunes needs the specific quantity to be entered on the line provided. A description space is provided for describing the prunes assigned as to variety, quality, etc. There is also a space for identifying the crop year to which the assignment pertains.

If the assignee is not the handler holding the reserve pool obligation of the assignor, such handler’s name must be entered on the line at the center of the form.

The assignor must declare the amount of any and all prior assignments of reserve pool proceeds on the line provided above his signature.

The assignor's signature must be authentic - it must be the signature of the person named as assignor unless a “Power of Attorney” is in effect and an authenticated copy thereof is furnished to the Committee for inspection and return. All persons having a financial interest in the reserve pool prune recorded in the name of the assignor must sign the form; otherwise, it will be returned to the assignee with a request to obtain the missing signatures.

The Committee will return an acknowledged copy to the assignee when the form is found to be complete and property executed.

Assignees should promptly inform the Committee of any release of the assignment so that reserve pool payments may go forward promptly to the persons legally entitled thereto.
