TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The purpose of this Terms Summary is to set forth additional terms of a legally binding contract where
you agree to sell structured settlement payments to Stone Street
Background
A. You (or someone acting on your behalf} settled a lawsuit or a claim sometime before the date
of this Agreement, and as a result of that settlement, you became entitled to receive payments
payable over time. The terms of that agreement are documented in a Settlement Agreement
or a similar document (the "Seulernent Agreement"). The defendants or their insurers in
your lawsuit or claim assigned their obligation to make those payments to a third party, the
Settlement Obligor (the "Obligor"). The Settlement Obligor purchased an annuity (the
"Annuity") from an insurance company (the "Issuer") to make sure that you would receive
the payments according to the terms of the Settlement Agreement. You are entitled to
receive payments froth the Annuity.
R You have decided that receiving your payments according to the timetable set forth in the
Settlement Agreement does not satisfy your financial needs. After thinking about other ways
of addressing your Financial situation, you have decided to sell some of your payments to
Stone Street in exchange for a cash payment.
I . The Sale and Purchase. You agree to sell the settlement payments identified as the "Assigned
Payments" on the Summary of Key Terms to which this "Terms Summary was attached. Stone Street
agrees to pay you, and you agree to accept, cash in the amount identified as the "Purchase Price" stated
on the Summary of Key Terms to which this Terms Summary was attached
2. How the Purchase Price Will be Paid to You. We will pay you by any means you choose,
including an electronic wire transfer directly to your bank account or by check. If you elect an
electronic wire transfer, we will only make payment to a bank account in your name.
3 What Must Han er?Before Fundins, Before the Assigned Payments are transferred to Stone
Street, a court must approve this Agreement. After court approval, there are additional conditions that
must be met before we can pay you your Purchase Price. First, the Issuer must acknowledge, in writing,
the receipt of a court order that; (a) directs the Obligor and Issuer to make the Assigned Payments to
Stone Street to the address and entity that we name; (b) makes all findings required by applicable law;
and (c) cannot be appealed. Second, we must confirm that all of your obligations under the Agreement
have been satisfied including providing us with all necessary documentation. Gast, we must review the
transaction, the supporting documents, lien, judgment, bankruptcy and other searches to verify that there
is no right or condition that exists that would require us to terminate this Agreement. When these steps
are satisfied, your transaction will close and fund.
4. The Payments We Do Not Buy. If you decided to sell us only a portion of your payments, this
Agreement does not affect the payments that you did not sell. You will continue to receive the unsold
portion of the payments unless those payments were previously sold, encumbered or subject to court
ordered garnishment or execution. In some cases, the court, the Obligor or the Issuer may require that
the entire structured settlement payment be paid to us, and, upon receipt, we shall remit the unassigned
portion of the structured settlement payment back to you. If such a circumstance arises in your
transaction, you agree to this payment servicing arrangement.
5. Otter Documents. Stone Street will expeditiously and diligently work to get a corm order
approving this Agreement. To assist us in this process, you agree to execute additional documents that
may be required by the court, the Obligor or the Issuer. You agree to provide us with complete copies of
your Settlement Agreement and Annuity, and other documents necessary to complete the transaction.
6. You Own nd Can Sell Xour Payments. We must establish that you own the payments that
you are selling to us, and that no one else could claim an interest in the Assigned Payments. Unless you
tell us in writing otherwise, you represent and promise to us that:

claims against the Assigned Payments.

off debts, liens, and past due obligations. If you owe back taxes, past due child support, or have
judgments or liens recorded against you or your assets, we may require that some of those debts, claims,
or liabilities be paid at the time the transaction is funded. If it is reasonably necessary to pay certain
debts before funds are released to you so that the Assigned Payments are not subject to such debts, Stone
Street will pay those debts for your account and deduct the payment from your Purchase Price. Also,
you may have received a partial advance of the Purchase Price. Any advances that you may have
received prior to Closing will also be deducted from the Purchase Price.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
This Disclosure Statement is being provided by Stone Street Capital, LLC ("Stone
Street") to you, Daniel Charney, on March 3, 2010 in connection with your
agreement to transfer and assign to Stone Street Capital, LLC, or its assigns, certain
structured settlement payment rights.
1. Amounts and Due Dates of Payments to be Transferred. You will assign to
Stone Street all of your right, title and interest in and to one lump sum
payment of $50,000.00 due and payable on August 12, 2018 out of those
certain payments due under a certain Settlement Agreement.
2. Aggregate Amount of Payments Transferred. The aggregate amount of the
payments to be transferred to Stone Street totals $50,000.00.
1 Calculation of Current Value of the Transferred Structured Settlement
Payments Under Federal Standards for Valuing Annuities. The Internal
Revenue Service discounted present value of the payments to be
transferred is $38,381.89 determined by discounting the future payments to
be transferred using a rate most recently published for determining the
present value of an annuity by the Internal Revenue Service, which rate is
3.20%. This is a calculation of the current value of the transferred
structured settlement payments under federal standards for valuing
annuities. THIS IS NOT THE RATE USED TO CALCULATE YOUR
PURCHASE PRICE. It is also not the market rate for transfers of annuity
payments of structured settlement payments.
4. Gross Amount Payable. The gross amount payable to you in exchange for
the transferred payments is $11,932.70.
5. Good Faith Estimate of Fees and Expenses. You will be responsible for
paying the following commissions, fees, expenses, charges, and costs in
