(B)
The transferee shall be liable to the structured settlement obligor and the annuity issuer, as follows:

;
(2) For any other liabilities or costs, including reasonable costs and attorneys' fees, arising from compliance by the structured settlement obligor or annuity issuer with the court order approving the transfer or from the failure of any party to the transfer to comply with sections 2323.58 to 2323.585 of the Revised Code.
(C) Neither the annuity issuer nor the structured settlement obligor may be required to divide any periodic payment between the payee and any transferee or assignee or between two or more transferees or assignees.
(D) Any further transfer of structured settlement payment rights by the payee may be made only if the transfer complies with all of the requirements of sections 2323.58 to 2323.585 of the Revised Code .
