The terms of that agreement are documented in a Settlement Agreement or a similar document (the "Settlement 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 from the Annuity. B. You have decided that receiving your payments according; to the timetable set forth in the Settlement Agreement does not satisfy your financial needs.

The Court specifically finds that: The payee, Dorothy Strine a/k/a Dorothy L. Strine ("Ms. Strine"), is entitled to receive certain life-contingent payments (the "Life-Contingent Payments") under a structured settlement agreement and related annuity contract no. 90600709. The Life-Contingent Payments are not due and payable unless Ms. Strine is alive at the time each such payment is due. 2. Ms. Strine has established that the transfer is in the best interest of Ms. Strine and her dependents, if any, taking into account the welfare and support of her dependents, if any. Based on the certification by an attorney for the transferee, Stone Street Capital, LLC ("Stone Street"), and the Court having not been made aware of any statute, regulation, or order that would be incompatible with the proposed transfer, the transfer will not contravene any applicable federal or state statute or regulation, or the order of any court or responsible administrative authority, or any applicable law limiting the transfer of workers' compensation claims. BE01/ 889456.2 4. The transfer complies with the remaining requirements of the Pennsylvania Structured Settlement Protection Act, 40 P.S. § 4001 et seq., including sections 4003(a)(2), 4003(a)(4), 4003(a)(5), and 4003(a)(6). Based upon the foregoing findings, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: A. The payments that are to be transferred are designated as follows: monthly Life- Contingent Payments each in the amout of $150.00, commencing on December 1, 2013 through and including December 1, 2029; and monthly Life-Contingent Payments each in the amount of $900.00, commencing on January 1, 2030 through and including June 1, 2037 (the "Assigned Life-Contingent Payments"). B. Subject to all of the conditions set forth herein and in the parties' Stipulation ("Stipulation"), Allstate Life Insurance Company ("Allstate Life") shall forward the Assigned Life-Contingent Payments, within 7 days of the date due, to Stone Street's designated assignee, Compass Settlements LLC ("Compass"), by check made payable to "Compass Settlements LLC," at P.O. Box 102558, Atlanta, GA 30368 (the "Designated Address"), as follows: monthly Life-Contingent Payments each in the amout of $150.00, commencing on December 1, 2013 through and including December 1, 2029; and monthly Life-Contingent Payments each in the amount of $900.00, commencing on January 1, 2030 through and including June 1, 2037. C. The obligation to make any of the Life-Contingent Payments ceases on Ms. Strine's death. Nothing in the subject petition, the proposed transfer, the parties' Stipulation or any other matter changes the fact that each of the Life-Contingent Payments, including the Assigned Life-Contingent Payments, is owed only if Ms. Strine is alive at the time each such payment is due. BE01/ 889456.2 _ 2 D. Stone Street and Compass shall provide to Allstate Life, at the time this Order is submitted to Allstate Life, the parties' Stipulation, contemporaneously signed by Ms. Strine and notarized, as written confirmation that Ms. Strine is alive (the "Initial Required Confirmation"). Beginning ninety (90) days after the date of the Initial Required Confirmation, and every ninety (90) days thereafter, and at any time upon reasonable request of Allstate Life, until the due date of the last Assigned Life-Contingent Payment, Stone Street and Compass shall provide Allstate Life with written confirmation, contemporaneously signed by Ms. Strine and notarized, that Ms. Strine is alive (the "Required Confirmation"). Each Required Confirmation will be sent to Lisa Sterner, Allstate Life Insurance Company, 3100 Sanders Road, N3 A, Northbrook, IL 60062 (or such other Allstate Life representative and/or address subsequently designated by Allstate Life in a written notice to Stone Street and Compass). Ms. Strine, Stone Street, and Compass shall cooperate with one another and with Allstate Life for the purpose of providing each Required Confirmation. In the event Stone Street and Compass acquire information indicating that Ms. Strine has died, Stone Street and Compass shall immediately provide Allstate Life with this information in writing directed to Allstate Life at the address listed above (or to any designated successor Allstate Life representative or address). E. If Stone Street and Compass fail to provide the Required Confirmation that Ms. Strine is alive, or if Allstate Life has any reasonable basis to believe that Ms. Strine has died, Allstate Life may cease making the Life-Contingent Payments, including the Assigned Life- Contingent Payments, until Allstate Life has received the Required Confirmation of Ms. Strine's survival. F. To the extent any of the Life-Contingent Payments are made by Allstate Life to Compass after the death of Ms. Strine, Compass will reimburse Allstate Life with funds in the DE01/ 889456.2 _ 3 amount of such Life-Contingent Payments, plus interest at 6% per annum from the date the funds were paid through the date reimbursement is tendered. G. Compass is authorized to make subsequent assignments or transfers of the Assigned Life-Contingent Payments (a "Reassignment") except that, regardless of any such Reassignment, the Assigned Life-Contingent Payments will continue to be serviced by Compass (or an agent on its behalf). In other words, the Assigned Life-Contingent Payments will continue to be made by Allstate Life to Compass at the Designated Address only, regardless of any Reassignment. However, if for reasons beyond the control of Compass, or due to Compass being merged with or acquired by another entity, or for traditional address change purpose the Designated Address is no longer valid (i.e., if Compass moves or for other reasons the Designated Address is no longer a viable address for Compass to receive payments), Allstate Life agrees to make the Assigned Life-Contingent Payments to a new payee and/or payment address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Order and the parties' Stipulation will remain binding and fully enforceable against Stone Street, Compass, and Ms. Strine. H. All remaining Life-Contingent Payments (and/or portions thereof), if any, that are not the subject of the proposed transfer and not previously assigned, shall be made payable to Ms. Strine and will be forwarded by Allstate Life, if and when due, to Ms. Strine's most recent known address or any payment address designated by Ms,. Strine, subject to the consent of Allstate Life and the annuity owner, Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error Fund ("Mcare"). I. Stone Street and Compass shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Allstate Life and Mcare and their respective directors, shareholders, officers, agents, employees, servants, successors, and assigns, and any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, and their directors, BE01/889456.2 - 4 shareholders, officers, agents, employees, servants, successors, and assigns, past and present, from and against any and all liability, including but not limited to costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, for any and all claims asserted by any person or entity, including but not limited to any claims asserted by any person or entity not a party hereto, claiming an interest in the Assigned Life-Contingent Payments, and any and all other claims made in connection with, related to, or arising out of the Purchase, Transfer and Assignment Agreement between Stone Street and Ms. Strine, the proposed transfer, the Assigned Life-Contingent Payments, any Reassignment, or Allstate Life's compliance with the parties' Stipulation or Allstate Life's and Mcare's compliance with this Order, except with respect to claims by Stone Street and Compass against Allstate Life to enforce Allstate Life's obligations to Stone Street and Compass under the parties' Stipulation. To the extent Stone Street or Compass fails to honor this indemnification and defense obligation, Allstate Life and Mcare may, in addition to all other remedies afforded by law, satisfy the same by withholding to their own credit any remaining Assigned Life-Contingent Payments. Allstate Life's lack of opposition to this matter, or its or the other parties' stipulation hereto or compliance herewith, shall not constitute evidence in this or any matter, and is not intended to constitute evidence in this or any matter, that: (a) payments under a structured settlement contract or annuity or related contracts can be assigned or that "anti-assignment" or "anti-encumbrance" provisions in structured settlement contracts or annuities or related contracts are not valid and enforceable; or (b) other transactions entered into by Stone Street and/or Compass and their customers constitute valid sales and/or loans; or (c) Allstate Life has waived any right in connection with any other litigation or claims; or (d) Stone Street or Compass has waived any right other than as expressly set forth in the parties' Stipulation and/or this Order. - BE01/ 889456.2 -5 K. Ms. Strine shall receive from Stone Street the net amount of $6,596.13 from which no funds are owed for counsel fees, administrative fees, or other costs, fees, or expenses.
