AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES
SECTION 2.01. Purchases of Receivables; Agreement to Purchase.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (including the conditions set forth in Article III), in respect of each Purchase Date for which a Purchase Request has been timely delivered and accepted in accordance with Section 2.02(a), the Purchaser shall purchase from the Seller, and the Seller shall sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Purchaser all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in the Receivables described in such Purchase Requests, together with all of the Related Assets relating to such Receivables; provided, however, the Seller acknowledges and agrees (solely with respect to the Existing Receivables and Warehouse Receivables and, in each case, the Related Assets to be Purchased on the Closing Date) that the Lockbox Accounts relating to such Receivables and Related Assets are hereby transferred, assigned and otherwise conveyed to the Purchaser as of the Closing Date and the Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Seller in effectuating the transfer of such accounts. In the event that the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates receives any Collections in the Transition Lockbox Account, the Seller agrees to hold, or cause such Affiliate to hold, all such Collections in trust and to deposit such Collections to the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after its receipt thereof. On each such Purchase Date, the Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price to
15
the Seller, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) in the manner set forth under Section 2.02. To the extent that (i) Receivables with one or more Term Certain Periodic Payments are sold to the Purchaser hereunder, (ii) the Purchaser receives any amounts in respect of Receivables that have been repurchased pursuant to Section 5.01(l), or (iii) the Purchaser receives any amounts in respect to Warehouse Receivables that have not been purchased by the Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser shall promptly remit funds equivalent to the amount of such Term Certain Periodic Payments or other amounts described in clauses (ii) and (iii), to the extent actually received by the Purchaser, to the Seller. Remittances by the Purchaser with respect to such Term Certain Periodic Payments or other amounts described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, as the case may be, shall be made via check, wire transfer or such other form of payment as the Purchaser may select in its sole discretion. The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure transactions to minimize the number of payments to be made by the Purchaser under this Section 2.01(a) relating to the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above. From and after the Purchase Termination Date, each of the Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transition receipt of the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above relating to Receivables with no remaining Scheduled Payments due to the Purchaser to a lockbox designated by the Seller.
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a “sale” from the Seller to the Purchaser under applicable laws and regulations, which sales are absolute and irrevocable and provide the Purchaser with all indicia and rights of ownership of the Receivables and Related Assets. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Purchaser to the Seller secured by such property. Except for certain indemnities pursuant to Section 7.01, each sale of Receivables and Related Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser is made without recourse to the Seller; provided, however, that (i) the Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser for all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the repurchase obligation described in Section 5.01(l)), and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Seller or any other person to any Claimant, Obligor, Settlement Annuity Provider or any other Person in connection with the Receivables, Related Assets or the related Settlement Purchase Agreements, or any other obligations of the Seller thereunder or in connection therewith, other than to return (or provide for the return of) any Scheduled Payments (or any portion thereof) not covered under the Settlement Purchase Agreement and not sold to the Purchaser hereunder back to such Claimant (it being understood and agreed that the Servicer shall remit or cause to be remitted all amounts in respect of Split Payments in accordance with the Servicing Agreement). In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchases of Receivables and Related Assets made hereunder shall constitute sales or absolute transfers of such Receivables and such Related Assets rather than a loan secured by such Receivables and Related Assets, the Seller agrees to note in its books and records that such Receivables and Related Assets have been sold to the Purchaser and to respond to any inquiries made by third parties as to the ownership of such Receivables and Related Assets so sold that such Receivables and Related Assets have been sold to the Purchaser.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser shall not Purchase from the Seller nor shall the Seller sell to the Purchaser any
16
Receivable from and after the time of any bankruptcy filing by or against the Seller or the Purchaser; provided, however, that should any such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding instituted against the Seller (as distinguished from by the Seller) be withdrawn or dismissed, then the Purchaser shall be entitled to resume purchasing Receivables and Related Assets from the Seller after the withdrawal or dismissal of such filing or proceeding.
(d) If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(b), a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that any Purchase of Receivables and Related Assets hereunder does not constitute a valid sale of the affected Receivables and Related Assets as set forth above but instead constitutes a loan in the amount of the Purchase Price or otherwise of such Receivables (together with interest thereon to be computed at an interest rate consistent with the economic terms of this Agreement), then this Agreement shall be deemed a present grant of a security interest (within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC as in effect in all applicable jurisdictions) in favor of the Purchaser in all of the Seller’s rights, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets effective upon each such Purchase, and the Seller hereby grants such a security interest to the Purchaser in the Purchased Assets which are the subject of such Purchase, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement within the meaning of Article 8 and Article 9 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions.
SECTION 2.02. Payment for the Purchases. (a) Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to each Purchase Date on which the Seller intends to sell Receivables (and Related Assets) to the Purchaser hereunder, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a Purchase Request with respect to such Receivables. Upon acceptance thereof by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall remit to the Seller payment in cash (subject to Section 2.02(b)) of the Purchase Price for such Receivables (being the sum of the Purchase Prices for each such Receivable), by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Purchase Date. In addition, the Purchaser may request of the Seller, and the Seller shall deliver, on or before the applicable Purchase Date such approvals, information, reports or documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request. To the extent that the Purchaser reasonably disputes any of the information in such Purchase Request with respect to any Receivable described therein, the Seller and the Purchaser shall reconcile such report as promptly as possible and if unable to reconcile and agree on the content of such report prior to 4:30 p.m. (New York time) on the applicable Purchase Date, the Seller shall exclude from the final Purchase Request on such Purchase Date any Receivable subject to such dispute until such report is acceptable to the Purchaser (and such excluded Receivables shall be deemed not sold on such date).
(b) With respect to any Receivable to be sold hereunder, on the Closing Date or any Purchase Date, the Purchaser may not purchase such Receivable unless it pays to the Seller an amount, in cash, that is at least equal to the Purchase Price in respect of such Receivable.
(c) If any Initial Scheduled Payment with respect to a Purchased Receivable constituting a Holdback Receivable is remitted to the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account by the third Business Day following the due date therefor (the “Holdback Cut-Off Date”), the Seller agrees to pay to the applicable Claimant the portion of the Holdback Funds representing the purchase price payable by the Seller to the such Claimant for such Initial Scheduled Payment under the related Settlement Purchase Agreement by not later than 5:00
17
p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day following the Holdback Cut-Off Date unless such portion has already been released to the related Claimant or the Seller’s obligation to pay such amount to the related Claimant has been extinguished pursuant to the terms of the related Settlement Purchase Agreement because one or more Initial Scheduled Payments has not been remitted to the Seller or its assigns, in each case prior to the Closing Date or applicable Purchase Date. If any Initial Scheduled Payment with respect to a Purchased Receivable constituting a Holdback Receivable is not remitted to the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account by the Holdback Cut-Off Date in respect thereof, the Seller agrees to pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to such Initial Scheduled Payment by not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day following the Holdback Cut-Off Date; provided, that, if subsequent to the Holdback Cut-Off Date the Purchaser receives such Initial Scheduled Payment with respect to which the Seller has made a payment to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby agrees to remit such Initial Scheduled Payment to the Seller.
SECTION 2.03. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day when due in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account. All amounts to be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day when due to such account as may be specified therefor by the Seller from time to time by notice to the Purchaser. Payments received by the Purchaser or the Seller after such times shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. In the event that any payment becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Purchaser, on demand, interest on all amounts not paid when due hereunder at 2% per annum above the per annum rate designated by X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. as its “prime rate” for commercial borrowers (such rate not necessarily being the lowest rate offered by such bank) as in effect on the date such payment was due; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.
SECTION 2.04. Transfer of Records to the Purchaser.

(bb) | as to which neither the related Transfer Order nor any stipulation or consent relating to such Receivable purports to prohibit or otherwise restrict the ability of the Claimant or Seller to sell, assign, pledge, or otherwise encumber the Claimant’s or Seller’s right to receive Scheduled Payments in respect thereof; provided, that, it shall not be deemed a prohibition, restriction or a purported restriction if the Transfer Order, stipulation or consent specifies that (i) payment should be made by the Obligor or Settlement Annuity Provider only to the order of the Purchaser at the Lockbox Account or (ii) in the event that Claimant or Seller attempts to transfer their rights to receive Scheduled Payments, neither the Settlement Annuity Provider nor the Obligor is obligated to honor such transfer. |

Form of Settlement Purchase Agreement
ABSOLUTE SALE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
(THE “AGREEMENT”)
[Sign Date]
I, [Customer Name]”, (“I”, “Me” or “Seller”) residing at [ADDRESS, CITY, STATE ZIP]” am entitled to [Periodic Payments]” (the “Periodic Payments”), which I am receiving as a result of the settlement of a personal injury claim. The terms of the settlement are set forth in an agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”). The Periodic Payments are due to Me from [OBLIGOR] (the “Settlement Obligor”). The Settlement Agreement provides for the Periodic Payments to be paid to Me through an annuity issued by [ISSUER] (the “Annuity Issuer), bearing Annuity Contract Number [CONTRACT NUMBER]”.
A. I agree to sell and transfer to Washington Square Financial, LLC dba Imperial Structured Settlements (“You” or “Purchaser”) all of my rights to and interest in the following payments, which I am due to receive under the Settlement Agreement:
[PAYMENT STREAM]” (the “Settlement Payments”)
In consideration for selling and transferring to You my rights to receive these payments, You shall pay Me the sum of: $[GROSS PURCHASE PRICE]” (the “Purchase Price”).
B. I hereby make the following unconditional representations, warranties and promises:
1. | No one other than Me has any interest or claim of any kind or nature in, to or under the Settlement Payments. |
2. | I am not indebted to anyone that would in any way affect either the sale and transfer of the Settlement Payments referenced above or Purchaser’s absolute rights to receive the Settlement Payments. |
3. | I agree to conduct my affairs so as to ensure that You receive the Settlement Payments exactly as described in Paragraph A above. |
C. I understand and agree that I will be in breach of this Agreement if:
1. | Any of the representations set forth in Paragraphs B (1) and B (2) at any time turn out to be untrue. |
2. | I fail to perform the promise set forth in Paragraph B (3) above. |
3. | Either the Settlement Obligor or the Annuity Issuer refuses or fails to make any one or more of the Settlement Payments as a result of any act by Me, my estate, my representatives, or any of my heirs. |
4. | I fail to promptly forward to You any of the Settlement Payments that might be received by Me from the Settlement Obligor or the Annuity Issuer after the sale and transfer to You has been completed. |
5. | I fail to fulfill any other obligation of mine under this Agreement. |
D. Your obligation to complete this transaction, and to pay Me the Purchase Price depends upon the following conditions being satisfied unless waived by You.
1. | You shall be satisfied, in Your sole reasonable judgment, that there are no claims or interests of any kind or nature that do or could affect rights to or interest in the Settlement Payments and/or prevent or interfere with Your receipt of the Settlement Payments on the dates and in the amounts described above Paragraph A, exactly in such amounts and at the times set forth therein. |
2. | You have received a final non-appealable court order and/or a signed acknowledgment from Settlement Obligor and Annuity Issuer satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion (collectively referred to as the “Order”), which You, in Your sole judgment, consider sufficient to recognize, authorize, and provide for the transfer by sale of the Settlement Payments (which may continue to be made out to my name) to You, Purchaser, and to insure that the Periodic Payments due on or after the day of the Order will be forwarded directly to You. |
E. Security Interest. Seller and Purchaser intend that the sale of the Settlement Payments referenced above shall constitute a “sale” from the Seller to the Purchaser under applicable law, which sales are absolute and irrevocable and provide the Purchaser with all indicia and rights of ownership of the Settlement Payments. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Purchaser to the Seller secured by the Settlement Payments. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed above, any sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of the Settlement Payments shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a valid sale or absolute transfer or such sale or transfer shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law in the rights to and interest in payments due to Me under the Settlement Agreement which I am selling to You under this Agreement. This security interest secures payment of the rights sold by Seller to Purchaser and the performance of Seller’s obligations above. Seller authorizes Purchaser to direct any account debtor or obligor on an instrument, without limitation, Settlement Obligor or Annuity Issuer, to make periodic payments directly to Purchaser and as contemplated by the Uniform Commercial Code. Purchaser is authorized to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement to perfect Purchaser’s rights and the security interest intended to be created under this Agreement.
F. Except as otherwise required by applicable statutory law, this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the law of the state of residence of the Seller on the date of this Agreement.
ARBITRATION
Any and all controversies, claims, disputes, rights, interests, suits or causes of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the negotiations related thereto, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association. The demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to this Agreement and with the American Arbitration Association offices in your state of residence. The arbitration shall be held in the largest city in your state of residence. The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time that the demand for arbitration is filed. Discovery, specifically including interrogatories, production of documents and depositions shall be at the discretion of the arbitrator and to the extent permitted shall be conducted in accordance with, and governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. A demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen. In no event, shall the demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question, would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. No arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall include, by consolidation or joinder or in any other manner, an additional person or entity not a party to this Agreement, except by written consent of the parties hereto, containing a specific reference to this Agreement and signed by the entity sought to be joined. Consent to arbitration involving an additional person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question not described in the written consent or with a person or entity not named or described therein. The foregoing
agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly consented to by parties to this Agreement, shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitrator shall identify the substantially prevailing party and shall include legal fees and expenses for the substantially prevailing party. This provision does not apply to the extent inconsistent with applicable state law regarding the transfer of structured settlement payments. In such case any disputes between the parties will be governed in accordance with the laws of the domicile state of the payee and the domicile state of the payee is the proper venue
G. I hereby grant You an Irrevocable Power of Attorney with full powers of substitution to do all acts and things that I might do regarding the Settlement Payments, and any and all rights I have under the Settlement Agreement. I understand and intend that by doing so, I am giving You all of the power and right I currently have under the Settlement Agreement to endorse checks, drafts or other instruments, to alter, edit and change payment instructions and/or beneficiary designations, and/or to perform any other act in my name that in Your sole discretion as my Attorney-in-Fact is necessary or expedient for You to obtain all of the benefits of the bargain contemplated by this transaction. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive my death or disability.
H. Payments Received by Party Other Than the Party Intended to Receive the Payments.
1. | If prior to the completion of the transfer provided for in this Agreement, I receive any of the Settlement Payments or any portion thereof, I understand and agree an equal amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced in the same amount as these payments, and that the terms of this Agreement regarding the payments to be assigned, shall be treated as amended to reflect for the adjusted amount. |
2. | In the event You receive or otherwise come into possession of any of the Periodic Payment(s) or portion(s) thereof which are not included in the payments being absolutely sold to You pursuant to this Agreement, You agree to forward such amount(s) to Me at the address set forth above within seven (7) days of receipt of such amount(s). |
I. You shall be entitled to, and are authorized by Me to discharge any liens or adverse claims against Me or any of the Settlement Payments, whether of not such adverse claims are disclosed, and You are further authorized by Me, provided You furnish prior written notice to Me, to pay any and all amounts necessary or if the Purchase Price has been deposited into an escrow account, to instruct the escrow agent to pay any and all amounts necessary to discharge such liens or other adverse claims. I understand and agree that any such amounts that You pay are payments You are making on my behalf and shall reduce the Purchase Price. Adverse claims may include disclosed amounts to be deducted by You from the Purchase Price to pay You, as servicer for Washington Square Financial, LLC dba Imperial Structured Settlements, to enable Me to obtain Washington Square Financial, LLC dba Imperial Structured Settlements’ release of its encumbrance on a portion of the Settlement Payments relating to a prior transfer transaction(s) that occurred before the enactment of the applicable statue (“Transfer Act”) regulating such transfers. I understand and acknowledge that the law currently in effect requires that such encumbrance be released in order to complete the transfer that is the subject of this Agreement.
J. This Agreement shall take effect on the date it is signed by Me (the Seller) or on such later date prescribed by applicable law.
K. All disclosure statements I receive from You in connection with this transaction are a material part of this Agreement and shall be considered part of the terms of this Agreement and shall be read as if the contents of the disclosure statement were set forth in full in the body of this Agreement.
L. I know that it will take some time for the Settlement Obligor and the Annuity Issuer to receive and process the court order once it is granted. I would like to receive the Purchase Price or a portion thereof as soon as possible thereafter. Accordingly, I hereby request Purchaser to pay Me a portion of the Purchase Price as soon as possible after the court order is granted and authorize Purchaser to hold in escrow an amount it deems necessary or advisable from the Purchase Price (the “Escrow Amount”) until all conditions precedent have been satisfied, including, without limitation, the receipt by Purchaser of the Settlement Obligor and the Annuity Issuer’s acknowledgment of the terms of the court order in writing and their agreement to honor and comply with same. At such time or earlier as Purchaser may determine, I understand that Purchaser will send the Escrow Amount to Me minus any Settlement Payments that the Annuity Issuer and/or Settlement Obligor sent to Me while the Settlement Obligor and the Annuity Issuer were processing the court order.
M. I have the right to cancel this Agreement, without penalty or further obligation, within the first three business days after the date the Agreement is signed, by providing You with written notice within three (3) day period, as provided for in Paragraph N.
N. All notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement must be made in writing, and delivered by hand, via the United States Post Office, Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, or by overnight delivery service, to You or Me as the recipient at the address set forth in the beginning of this Agreement and must be evidenced by a receipt showing time, date of delivery and the person receiving the delivery.
