                                  ARTICLE III

                     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SRGL

     Except as otherwise disclosed in the corresponding section of the
Disclosure Letter delivered by SRGL in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, regardless of whether such representation or
warranty specifically refers to the SRGL Disclosure Letter (the "SRGL Disclosure
Letter"); provided, that any disclosure contained in any section of such
Disclosure Letter shall qualify each other representation and warranty where it
would be reasonably apparent that it should be an exception to such
representation or warranty or be disclosed in such section of such Disclosure
Letter, it being acknowledged and agreed by Investors that the disclosure of any
matter set forth in the SRGL Disclosure Letter shall expressly not be deemed to
constitute an admission by SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries, or otherwise imply,
that any such matter rises to the level of a SRGL Material Adverse Effect or is
otherwise material for purposes of this Agreement, SRGL hereby represents and
warrants to Investors, as of the date hereof (except where such representation
or warranty is expressly made as of another specific date), as follows:

     SECTION 3.1. Organization, Standing and Corporate Power. Except as set
forth in Section 3.1 of the SRGL Disclosure Letter, SRGL and each of its
Subsidiaries and each of the Special Purpose Vehicles is a corporation duly
incorporated (or, if not a corporation, duly organized), validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated
(or, if not a corporation, in which it is organized) and has the requisite power
and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry
on its business as now being conducted. Except as set forth in Section 3.1 of
the SRGL Disclosure Letter, SRGL and each of its Subsidiaries and each of the
Special Purpose Vehicles is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the
ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary, other
than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified (individually or
in the aggregate) would not have an SRGL Material Adverse Effect. SRGL has made
available to Investors in the Data Room complete and correct copies of its
Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association and the equivalent
organizational documents of each of its Subsidiaries and each of the Special
Purpose Vehicles, in each case, as amended and in full force and effect as of
the date of this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.2. Ordinary Capital Structure; Issuance of Shares. (a) The
authorized share capital of SRGL consists solely of (i) 100,000,000 Ordinary
Shares and (ii) 50,000,000 Preferred Shares. As of the date hereof, 60,554,104
Ordinary Shares, 5,000,000 Perpetual Preferred Shares and 5,750,000 Hybrid
Capital Units are issued and outstanding. In addition, as of the date hereof,
there are (i) Options outstanding which are exercisable for an aggregate of
1,892,519 Ordinary Shares, (ii) 821,187 Restricted Shares outstanding and (iii)
Class A Warrants (the "Warrants") outstanding which are exercisable for an
aggregate of 2,650,000 Ordinary Shares. Except as set forth above, no shares of
capital stock of SRGL are issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. All
outstanding shares of capital stock of SRGL are duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive or similar rights.

complete schedule as of the date of this Agreement setting forth (as applicable)

each outstanding Option and each outstanding Warrant, respectively, (ii) the
holder, number and number of shares for which it would be converted, in the case
of each holder of Restricted Shares and (iii) the aggregate number of shares for
which the Convertible Notes may be converted as of the date of this Agreement.

     (c) Except as set forth in Section 3.2(c) of the SRGL Disclosure Letter,
there are no preemptive or similar rights on the part of any holder of any class
of securities of SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries. Other than the Hybrid Capital
Units and the securities listed in Section 3.2(c) of the SRGL Disclosure Letter,
neither SRGL nor any of its Subsidiaries has outstanding any bonds, debentures,
notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or which
are convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote)
with the shareholders of SRGL or any such Subsidiary on any matter submitted to
shareholders or a separate class of holders of capital stock. Except as set
forth above and except for the securities listed in Section 3.2(b) or Section
3.2(c) of the SRGL Disclosure Letter, there are not any options, warrants,
restricted stock, restricted stock units, calls, rights, convertible or
exchangeable securities, "phantom" stock rights, stock appreciation rights,
stock-based performance units, commitments, contracts, arrangements or
undertakings of any kind to which SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or
by which any of them is bound (i) obligating SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to
issue, deliver, sell or transfer or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, or
cause to be issued, delivered, sold or transferred or repurchased, redeemed or
otherwise acquired, any shares of the capital stock of SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries, any additional shares of capital stock of, or other equity
interests in, or any security convertible or exercisable for or exchangeable
into any capital stock of, or other equity interest in, SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries, (ii) obligating SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, grant,
extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, security,
commitment, contract, arrangement or undertaking, (iii) obligating SRGL or any
of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any right of first offer, right of first
negotiation, right of first refusal, co-sale or similar provisions or (iv)
giving any person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar to
or derived from the economic benefits and rights accruing to holders of capital
stock of, or other equity interests in, SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries. As of
the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding contractual obligations of
SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to sell, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire
or to register any shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in,
SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries. There are no proxies, voting trusts or other
agreements or understandings to which SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries is a party
or is bound with respect to the voting of the capital stock of, or other equity
interests in, SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries. No Ordinary Shares or Preferred
Shares are held by any wholly owned Subsidiary of SRGL.

     (d) As of the Closing, there will be 1,000,000 Convertible Shares
authorized of which 1,000,000 shall be issued and outstanding and there will be
590,000,000 Ordinary Shares authorized. The issuance, sale and delivery of the
Convertible Shares in accordance with this Agreement, and the issuance and
delivery of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Shares, will be on or prior to the Closing, duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of SRGL, and all such Ordinary Shares will be duly
reserved for issuance. As of the Closing, a number of Ordinary Shares shall have
been duly authorized and

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

reserved for issuance which equals or exceeds 130% of the maximum number of
Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Shares. The
Convertible Shares when issued, sold and delivered against payment therefor in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and the Ordinary Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Shares, when issued upon such
conversion, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free
and clear of any Liens (other than restrictions under applicable United States
federal and state, and any foreign, securities Laws) with the holders being
entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Ordinary Shares under Cayman
Islands law and the organizational documents of SRGL. No person has any
preemptive right or right of first refusal which would be triggered by reason of
the issuance of the Convertible Shares or the Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Shares.

     SECTION 3.3. Subsidiaries. Section 3.3 of the SRGL Disclosure Letter lists
each Subsidiary of SRGL and each Special Purpose Vehicle, and in each case, its
capitalization and its jurisdiction of organization. All the outstanding shares
of capital stock of each Subsidiary of SRGL have been validly issued and are
fully paid and nonassessable (and no such shares are subject to preemptive or
similar rights) and, except as set forth in Section 3.3 of the SRGL Disclosure
Letter and except for Scottish Re Life Corporation, of which SRGL indirectly
owns 95% of the outstanding capital stock, are wholly-owned beneficially and as
of record by SRGL, by one or more Subsidiaries of SRGL or by SRGL and one or
more such Subsidiaries, free and clear of all Liens.

     SECTION 3.4. Authority. SRGL has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and,
subject to obtaining the SRGL Member Approval and required regulatory approvals,
as contemplated by this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and
thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by SRGL and the consummation by
SRGL of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of SRGL, other than the
SRGL Member Approval. Each of this Agreement and the Voting Agreement has been
and at the Closing, the Registration Rights and Shareholders Agreement and the
Convertible Shares Certificate of Designations will be, duly executed and
delivered by SRGL and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the Registration Rights and
Shareholders Agreement by Investors, constitute or will constitute, as the case
may be, valid and binding obligations of SRGL, enforceable against SRGL in
accordance with their respective terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws, now or
hereafter in effect, affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) the remedy
of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may
be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which
any proceeding therefor may be brought. Subject to obtaining the SRGL Member
Approval, SRGL will have at the Closing all requisite corporate power to issue
and sell the Convertible Shares to Investors and to issue the Ordinary Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Shares.

Lien on any property or asset of SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries under, any
agreement, permit, franchise, license or instrument to which SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries or any Special Purpose Vehicle is a party or (iii) subject to the
matters referred to in the next sentence, contravene any Law applicable to SRGL
or any of its Subsidiaries or any Special Purpose Vehicle, which, in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii) above, would have an SRGL Material Adverse Effect. No
consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, or notice
to, any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental or
regulatory authority or agency, political subdivision, instrumentality or any
securities exchange, in any jurisdiction (a "Governmental Entity"), and no
consent, approval or authorization of any third party, is required by or with

other than liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of

as disclosed to Investors in the Data Room, taken any action taken by SRGL or
any of its Subsidiaries through the date hereof that, if taken during the period
from the date hereof through the Closing Date, would constitute a breach of
Section 5.1.

     SECTION 3.9. Benefit Plans. (a) Each Employee Benefit Plan and each
employment, consulting, termination and severance contract for active, retired
or former employees or directors of SRGL and its Subsidiaries currently in

available in the Data Room to Investors and their counsel true and complete
copies of all material documents in connection with each Employee Benefit Plan

including service provider agreements, insurance contracts, annuity contracts,
investment management agreements, subscription agreements, participation
agreements, recordkeeping agreements and collective bargaining agreements.

     (b) Each Employee Benefit Plan (including any related trust) is in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws and has been
administered and operated in all material respects in accordance with its terms.

     (c) Each Employee Benefit Plan of SRGL and its Subsidiaries which is
intended to be "qualified" within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code has
received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and,
to the Knowledge of SRGL, no event has occurred and no condition exists which
could reasonably be expected to result in the revocation of any such
determination.

     (d) Full payment has been made of all amounts which SRGL and its
Subsidiaries were required under the terms of the Employee Benefit Plans of SRGL
and its Subsidiaries to have paid as contributions to such Employee Benefit
Plans on or prior to the date hereof (excluding any amounts not yet due) and all
amounts not yet due but required to be accrued on SRGL's or any of its
Subsidiaries' financial statements have been properly accrued.

     (e) No Employee Benefit Plan of SRGL or its Subsidiaries which is subject
to Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA has incurred any "accumulated
funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412
of the Code), whether or not waived and no Employee Benefit Plan has applied for
or obtained a waiver from the Internal Revenue Service.

     (f) Neither SRGL nor any of its Subsidiaries or any other "disqualified
person" or "party in interest" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code and
Section 3(14) of ERISA, respectively), has engaged in any transaction in
connection with any Employee Benefit Plan of SRGL that could reasonably be
expected to result in the imposition of a material penalty pursuant to Section
502(i) of ERISA or a material tax pursuant to Section 4975(a) of the Code.

     (g) Neither SRGL nor any of its Subsidiaries has maintained any Employee
Benefit Plan (other than an Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to be
"qualified" within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code or a U.K. pension
scheme listed in Section 3.9 of the SRGL Disclosure Letter) which provides
benefits with respect to Employees or former employees following their
termination of service with SRGL (other than as required pursuant to Section 601
of ERISA). Each Employee Benefit Plan of SRGL and its Subsidiaries subject to
the requirements of Section 601 of ERISA has been operated in substantial
compliance therewith, except where the failure to so comply would not have a
SRGL Material Adverse Effect.

     (h) No Employee Benefit Plan of SRGL or its Subsidiaries that is subject to

termination proceedings pursuant to Title IV of ERISA and resulted, or would

contributions to such Employee Benefit Plan. Except as required to

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

comply with applicable Law, neither SRGL nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
commitment, or stated any intention, to create, modify or terminate any Employee
Benefit Plan. Neither SRGL nor any of its Subsidiaries has caused any condition
or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to result in a material
increase in benefits under or expense of maintaining any Employee Benefit Plan
for the level of benefits or expense incurred for the most recent fiscal year
ended thereof.

     (i) No Employee Benefit Plan of SRGL or its Subsidiaries is a
"multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) and SRGL has not
been obligated to contribute to any multiemployer plan.

     (j) Except as set forth in Section 3.9(j) of the SRGL Disclosure Letter,
the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not and will not constitute a triggering event under any
Benefit Plan, Employment Agreement or otherwise that (either alone or upon the
occurrence of any additional or subsequent event) will or may result in any
payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, vesting or
increase in benefit to any employee or former employee or director of SRGL or
any of its Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Section3.9(j) of the SRGL
Disclosure Letter, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or
subsequent event) result in any payment that would constitute an "excess
parachute payment" for purposes of Sections 280G or 4999 of the Code.

     (k) SRGL and its Subsidiaries have been and are being operated in all
material respects in compliance with all Laws in any jurisdiction relating to
employees and employment practices, including employment standards, workplace
safety and insurance and occupational health and safety, workers' compensation,
human rights, labor relations or pay equity. Other than routine claims for
benefits, there are no pending or outstanding material written claims or
complaints, assessments, actions, causes of action, claims, complaints, demands,
orders, prosecutions or suits nor, to the Knowledge of SRGL, are there any
threatened or anticipated claims or complaints, against SRGL, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of its directors, officers or agents in relation to any Laws
in any jurisdiction relating to employees, including employment standards, human
rights, labor relations, occupational health and safety, workers' compensation
or pay equity. To the Knowledge of SRGL, nothing has occurred that might lead to
a claim or complaint against SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries, under any such
Laws. There are no outstanding Orders or settlements or pending settlements that
place any obligation upon SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to do or refrain from
doing any act in respect of their employees.

SRGL Material Adverse Effect and, with respect to the Special Purpose Vehicles,

the Closing Date (after taking into account all applicable extensions to file)
with respect to SRGL, each of its Subsidiaries and each Special Purpose Vehicle
have been filed; (ii) all Taxes reportable on such returns and reports or
otherwise due and payable by SRGL, any of its Subsidiaries or any Special
Purpose Vehicle have been or will be timely paid except to the extent any such
Taxes are being contested in good-faith by current administrative or judicial
proceedings, or, with respect to any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or
before September 30, 2006, are specifically and adequately reflected or
otherwise disclosed as Tax liabilities in the September 2006 GAAP

Purpose Vehicle; (v) no Liens (other than Permitted Liens) for Taxes exist with
respect to any of the assets or properties of SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries or
any Special Purpose Vehicle; (vi) except as set forth in Section 3.10 of the
SRGL Disclosure Letter, none of SRGL, any of its Subsidiaries or any Special
Purpose Vehicle is party to or bound by any Tax allocation, sharing, indemnity

similar agreement; (vii) none of SRGL, any of its Subsidiaries or any Special
Purpose Vehicle has entered into any transaction that has been identified as a
"listed transaction" as defined in Treasury Regulation ss.1.6011-4(b)(2) by the
Internal Revenue Service pursuant to published guidance; (viii) the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will not trigger any income or gain to SRGL, any
of its Subsidiaries or any Special Purpose Vehicle for federal income tax
purposes under section 355(e) of the Code in respect of a distribution by any
Subsidiary of SRGL occurring prior to the Closing; (ix) no United States
Subsidiary of SRGL is or has been during the five-year period ending on the date

Section 897(c)(2) of the Code; and (x) except as set forth in Section 3.10 of
the SRGL Disclosure Letter, no United States Subsidiary of SRGL has been a
member of an affiliated, combined or unitary group filing a consolidated federal

liability for the Taxes of any person (other than an affiliate of the Company)
under Treasury Regulation ss.1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local,
or foreign Law) or as a transferee.

     (b) No material deficiencies for any Taxes have been proposed, asserted or
assessed against SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of SRGL,
any Special Purpose Vehicle that are not specifically and adequately reflected
or otherwise disclosed as Tax liabilities in the September 2006 GAAP Statements,
and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes have been
granted or are pending.

SRGL and each of its Subsidiaries makes any representation or warranty with
respect to any matter relating to Taxes or liabilities or obligations relating
to Taxes except to the extent set forth in this Section 3.10.

     As used in this Agreement, "Taxes" shall include all income, property,
sales, excise, employment, payroll, withholding and other taxes, tariffs or
governmental charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any Governmental Entity
(together with any interest or penalty, addition to Tax or additional amount
imposed with respect thereto).

     SECTION 3.11. Compliance with Applicable Laws. (a) SRGL and each of its
Subsidiaries and each of the Special Purpose Vehicles has in full force and
effect all material approvals, authorizations, consents, franchises, licenses,

the Data Room copies of all certifications, sub-certifications, and minutes of
Board of meetings of the Board of Directors and committees thereof relating to
the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,

record, process, summarize and report financial data, and (B) any fraud, whether
or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in SRGL's internal controls over financial reporting. A summary

termination or cancellation of any such insurance contract has been received and
all such insurance contracts are in full force and effect. Investors have been
provided with a complete and accurate copy of the signed application for new or
renewal insurance currently pending or most recently bound, and no false or
misleading affirmations were made in any such application. Investors have also
been provided with complete and accurate copies of all reservation of rights
letters, carrier coverage position letters, or denial of coverage letters
relating to any currently pending claim. To the Knowledge of SRGL, no event has
occurred that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a
breach or default under, or permit termination of, any insurance policy of SRGL,
and there has been no threatened termination or non-renewal of, or material
premium increase with respect to, any insurance policy of SRGL. All Litigation
for which coverage is provided under any of SRGL's insurance policies has been
properly reported to the applicable insurer.

     SECTION 3.16. Intellectual Property. (a) Section 3.16(a) of the SRGL
Disclosure Letter sets forth all material Intellectual Property owned by SRGL or
any of its Subsidiaries (the "Owned Intellectual Property"). No person other
than SRGL, its Subsidiaries and the Special Purpose Vehicles owns or has any
other right in or to, or has claimed any ownership or other right in or to, any
Owned Intellectual Property.

     (b) Except as set forth in Section 3.16(b) of the SRGL Disclosure Letter,
to the Knowledge of SRGL, the conduct of the business of SRGL and its
Subsidiaries does not infringe upon or misappropriate the Intellectual Property
of any third party. To the Knowledge of SRGL, there are no infringements or
misappropriations of the Owned Intellectual Property by any third party or, to
the Knowledge of SRGL, any infringements or misappropriations by any third party
of any of the material Intellectual Property used by SRGL, any of its
Subsidiaries or any Special Purpose Vehicle that is not Owned Intellectual
Property.

     (c) Except as set forth in Section 3.16(c) of the SRGL Disclosure Letter,
there are no material claims pending, or to the Knowledge of SRGL, threatened:
(i) alleging that the business of SRGL, any of its Subsidiaries or any Special
Purpose Vehicle as currently conducted infringes upon or constitutes an
unauthorized use of the Intellectual Property of any third party; (ii) alleging
that the Owned Intellectual Property is being infringed by any third party; or
(iii) challenging the ownership, validity or enforceability of the Owned
Intellectual Property.

     (d) Except as set forth in Section 3.16(d) of the SRGL Disclosure Letter,
SRGL or one of its Subsidiaries has taken all actions reasonably necessary to
ensure protection of the Owned Intellectual Property under applicable Law
(including making and maintaining in full force and effect all necessary
filings, registrations and issuances). Each of SRGL and its Subsidiaries has
taken all actions reasonably necessary to maintain the secrecy of all
confidential Intellectual Property used in the business of SRGL and its
Subsidiaries (including requiring the execution of valid and enforceable
agreements by employees or any other person to whom such confidential
Intellectual Property is made available). To the Knowledge of SRGL, none of SRGL
or its Subsidiaries is using or enforcing any material Owned Intellectual
Property in a manner that would reasonably be expected to result in the
cancellation or unenforceability of such Owned Intellectual Property.

     SECTION 3.17. Insurance Regulatory Matters. (a) SRGL has made available to
Investors in the Data Room true and complete copies of all financial
examination, market conduct or other reports of U.S. state insurance departments
with respect to any U.S. Insurance Subsidiary and any equivalent reports of
Insurance Regulators with respect to any non-U.S. Insurance Subsidiaries or
Special Purpose Vehicles, in each case, which have been completed since January
1, 2003. Since January 1, 2003, no violations material to the financial
condition of any Insurance Subsidiary or Special Purpose Vehicle have been
asserted in writing by any Insurance Regulator, other than any violation which
has been cured or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of such Insurance
Regulator or which is no longer being pursued by such Insurance Regulator
following a response by the relevant Insurance Subsidiary or Special Purpose
Vehicle.

     (b) SRGL has delivered or made available to Investors in the Data Room true
and complete copies of all material registrations, filings, notifications and
submissions made since January 1, 2003 by any Insurance Subsidiary or Special
Purpose Vehicle with any Insurance Regulator. All Insurance Subsidiaries and
Special Purpose Vehicles have filed or notified all reports, statements,
documents, registrations, filings, notifications or submissions required to be
filed by them with or notified by them to, as the case may be, any Insurance
Regulator since January 1, 2003, and all such reports, statements, documents,
registrations, filings, notifications or submissions were in all material
respects true, complete and accurate when filed.

     (c) None of SRGL, any of its Subsidiaries nor any Special Purpose Vehicle
is in default under or in violation of any Order, stipulation, decree, award or
judgment entered into with or issued by any Insurance Regulator; nor has any of
SRGL, any of its Subsidiaries or any Special Purpose Vehicle received any notice
of any such default or violation that remains uncorrected.

     (d) Section 3.17(d) of the SRGL Disclosure Letter sets forth each of the
Subsidiaries of SRGL conducting any insurance or reinsurance business (the
"Insurance Subsidiaries") and lists the jurisdiction of domicile of each
Insurance Subsidiary.

a meeting duly called and held, has taken unanimous action to (a) duly and
validly approve and take all corporate action required to be taken by the Board
of Directors to authorize the issuance of the Convertible Shares and the
Ordinary Shares into which such Convertible Shares may be converted to
Investors, the terms of the Convertible Shares and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, (b) resolve that the issuance of the
Convertible Shares and the Ordinary Shares into which such Convertible Shares
may be converted to Investors is fair to SRGL and in the best interests of SRGL
and its Members and (c) subject to the other terms and conditions of this
Agreement, resolve to recommend that the Members (i) vote at the Special Meeting
in favor of SRGL entering into the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, including the issuance of the Convertible Shares and the Ordinary
Shares into which such Convertible Shares may be converted to Investors, the
terms of the Convertible Shares and any related matters and (ii) approve and
adopt the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including
approval of the matters set forth in Section 2.1(a)(i), and none of the
aforesaid actions by the Board of Directors of SRGL has been amended, rescinded
or modified. The approval of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the

or any other securities of SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries required to approve
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

     SECTION 3.20. Takeover Statute. (a) No state "fair price," "moratorium,"
"control share acquisition" or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation
is applicable to the issuance of the Convertible Shares to Investors or the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents.

     (b) The Boards of Directors of SRGL and its Subsidiaries have taken all
necessary action to render any potentially applicable anti-takeover or similar
statute, regulation or provision of the Memorandum of Association and Articles
of Association (or other comparable instrument), or other organizational or
constitutive document or governing instrument of SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries, inapplicable to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents.

     SECTION 3.21. Information. The Disclosure Statement, together with the
documents incorporated by reference therein, as of the date it or any amendment
or supplement thereto is mailed to the Members, and as of the time of the
Special Meeting taken together with any amendments or supplements thereto as of
such date, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

not misleading. The Disclosure Statement and all other Disclosure Documents will
comply as to form in all respects with all applicable Laws.

     SECTION 3.22. Properties; Absence of Liens. (a) Neither SRGL nor any of its
Subsidiaries owns any real property. SRGL or one of its Subsidiaries has a good
and valid leasehold interest in each parcel of real property leased by SRGL or
any of its Subsidiaries (the "Leased Real Property"), free and clear of all
Liens except for any Permitted Liens. SRGL or one of its Subsidiaries has the
right to use and occupy the Leased Real Property for the full term of the lease
or sublease relating thereto, except for any failure which would not be material
to SRGL and its Subsidiaries take as a whole.

     (b) With respect to the Leased Real Property, (i) each of the agreements by
which SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries has obtained a leasehold interest in such
Leased Real Property (each, a "Lease") is set forth in Section 3.22 of the SRGL
Disclosure Letter and is in full force and effect in accordance with its
respective terms and SRGL or one of its Subsidiaries is the holder of the
lessee's or tenant's interest thereunder, (ii) to the Knowledge of SRGL, there
exists no default under any Lease and no circumstance exists which, with the
giving of notice, the passage of time or both, could result in such a default,
and (iii) there are no leases, subleases, licenses concessions or any other
contracts granting to any person or entity other than SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries any right to the possession, use, occupancy or enjoyment of any
Leased Real Property or any portion thereof, except which would not have a SRGL
Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.23. Affiliate Transactions. Between the date of SRGL's proxy
statement for its 2006 annual meeting of Members filed with the SEC and the date
of this Agreement, no event has occurred that would be required to be reported
by SRGL pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

     SECTION 3.24. Opinions of Financial Advisors. SRGL has received written
opinions from Goldman, Sachs & Co., Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Duff & Phelps,
LLC, each dated the date of this Agreement, and each to the effect that as of
the date hereof, the MassMutual Consideration and the Cerebus Consideration,
taken in the aggregate, to be received by SRGL pursuant to this Agreement, is
fair, from a financial point of view, to SRGL. True and complete signed copies
of such opinions have been delivered to Investors.

     SECTION 3.25. Broker-Dealer Subsidiaries. (a) Neither SRGL nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a securities broker or dealer, as defined in the Exchange Act,
other than the Subsidiary of SRGL listed in Section 3.25(a) of the SRGL
Disclosure Letter, which is organized and resident under the Laws of the U.S. or
a state thereof (the "Broker-Dealer Subsidiary"). The Broker-Dealer Subsidiary
is a member in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers
Inc. (the "NASD") or other U.S. broker-dealer self-regulating associations (and,
if so, a listing of each such association). No other Subsidiary of SRGL is
required by the nature of its activities to be registered as a broker-dealer
under the Exchange Act or under the Laws of any state or other jurisdiction or
to be a member in good standing of the NASD or other broker-dealer
self-regulating associations under any other applicable Laws.

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

     (b) The Broker-Dealer Subsidiary is duly registered and licensed as a
broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and under any state, federal or foreign
broker-dealer or similar Laws pursuant to which the Broker-Dealer Subsidiary is
required to be registered. As of the date of this Agreement, neither the
Broker-Dealer Subsidiary, nor any of its officers, directors or employees, has
been convicted of any crime or has been the subject of any disciplinary
proceedings or Orders of any Governmental Entity, and, to the Knowledge of SRGL,
no such disciplinary proceeding or Order is pending or threatened.

     SECTION 3.26. Private Placement. Neither SRGL nor any person acting on
SRGL's behalf has sold or offered to sell or solicited any offer to buy the
Convertible Shares by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising
within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act. Neither SRGL nor any
person acting on behalf of SRGL has, directly or indirectly, at any time within
the past six months, made any offer or sale of any security or solicitation of
any offer to buy any security of SRGL under circumstances that would (i)
eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D
in connection with the offer and sale by SRGL of the Convertible Shares as
contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Convertible Shares and the
Ordinary Shares into which the Convertible Shares may be converted pursuant to
this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by SRGL for purposes of any
applicable Law or Member approval requirements, including, without limitation,
under the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange. None of SRGL or
its Subsidiaries or any person acting on their behalf will take any action or
steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require the registration
of any of the Convertible Shares and the Ordinary Shares into which the
Convertible Shares may be converted under the Securities Act or cause the
offering to be integrated with the other offerings for purposes of any
applicable Law or Member approval requirements. Neither SRGL nor any of its
Subsidiaries is an "investment company" as defined in the Investment Company
Act, or is registered or required to be registered thereunder. SRGL is not a
United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of the
Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980. No consent, license,
permit, waiver approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration,
registration or filing with, the SEC or any state securities regulatory
authority is required in connection with the offer, sale, issuance or delivery
of the Convertible Shares and the Ordinary Shares into which the Convertible
Shares may be converted, other than the possible filing of a Form D with the
SEC. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by
Investors in this Agreement, the offer and issuance by SRGL of the Convertible
Shares is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

     SECTION 3.27. Acknowledgment Regarding Investors' Purchase of SRGL
Securities. SRGL acknowledges and agrees that Investors are acting solely in the
capacity of arm's length purchasers with respect to this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. SRGL
further acknowledges that Investors are not acting as financial advisors or
fiduciaries of SRGL (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and any advice given by Investors or any of their respective
representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is
merely incidental to Investors' purchase of the Convertible Shares. SRGL further
represents to Investors that SRGL's decision to enter into this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by
SRGL and its representatives.

     SECTION 3.28. Convertible Shares Certificate of Designations. The
Convertible Shares Certificate of Designations will, at the Closing, have been
duly authorized by SRGL. Upon the issuance and delivery of the Convertible
Shares in accordance with this Agreement, the Convertible Shares will be
convertible at the option of the holder thereof into Ordinary Shares in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Convertible Shares
Certificate of Designations.

     SECTION 3.29. Manipulation of Price. SRGL has not, and to its Knowledge no
person acting on its behalf has, in violation of applicable securities Laws, (i)
taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of SRGL, (ii) sold,
bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of
the Convertible Shares or Ordinary Shares into which such Convertible Shares may
be converted, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for
soliciting another to purchase any other securities of SRGL.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTORS

     Except as otherwise disclosed in this Agreement or the corresponding
section of the Disclosure Letter delivered by such Investor in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, regardless of whether such
representation or warranty specifically refers to the applicable Investor
Disclosure Letter (the "MassMutual Disclosure Letter" and the "Cerberus
Disclosure Letter" respectively and together, the "Investor Disclosure
Letters"); provided, that any disclosure contained in any section of such
Disclosure Letter shall qualify each other representation and warranty where it
would be reasonably apparent that it should be an exception to such
representation or warranty or be disclosed in such section of such Disclosure
Letter, it being acknowledged and agreed by SRGL that the disclosure of any
matter set forth in the Investor Disclosure Letters shall expressly not be
deemed to constitute an admission by either Investor or any of its Subsidiaries,
or otherwise imply, that any such matter rises to the level of an Investor
Material Adverse Effect or is otherwise material for purposes of this Agreement.
Each Investor, severally, but not jointly, represents and warrants to SRGL as of
the date hereof (except where such representation or warranty is expressly made
as of another specific date), as follows:

     SECTION 4.1. Organization, Standing and Corporate Power. Such Investor is a
corporation duly incorporated (or, if not a corporation, duly organized),
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which it is incorporated (or, if not a corporation, in which it is organized)
and has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its
properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Such
Investor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of
its properties makes such qualification necessary, other than in such
jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified (individually or in the
aggregate) would not have an Investor Material Adverse Effect on such Investor.
Such

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

Investor has made available to SRGL complete and correct copies of its formation

Agreement.

     SECTION 4.2. Authority. Such Investor has the requisite company power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to

transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by such
Investor and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such
Investor. No action by the members, shareholders or limited partners of such
Investor is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by such Investor
of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and
the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. Each of this Agreement and the Voting Agreement has been and at the
Closing, the Registration Rights and Shareholders Agreement will be, duly

such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, affecting creditors' rights generally
and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of
equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of
the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

     SECTION 4.3. Noncontravention; Consents. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by such

of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) give rise
to a right of termination or acceleration under, or result in the creation of
any Lien on any property or asset of such Investor or any of its Subsidiaries
under, any agreement, permit, franchise, license or instrument to which such
Investor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or (iii) subject to the matters
referred to in the next sentence, contravene any Law applicable to such Investor
or any of its Subsidiaries, which, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above,
would have an Investor Material Adverse Effect on such Investor. No consent,
approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, or notice to, any
Governmental Entity, and no consent, approval or authorization of any third
party is required by or with respect to such Investor or any of its Subsidiaries
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by such Investor or the
consummation by such Investor of any of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, except for (a) the filing of premerger notification and report forms

or employee of such Investor or any of its affiliates has been permanently or
temporarily enjoined or barred by any Order of any Governmental Entity from
engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with the

that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition
Proposal, (ii) continue or participate or engage in discussions or negotiations

Notwithstanding any Change in Recommendation, Investors shall have the option,

cause the Board of Directors of SRGL to submit this Agreement to the Members for
the purpose of approving the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents including approval of the matters set forth in Section 2.1(a)(i) and
giving the SRGL Member Approval. If Investors exercise such option, Investors
shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h). If
Investors fail to exercise such option, SRGL may terminate this Agreement
pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1(i). SRGL shall (1) immediately
cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or
negotiations with any persons or their representatives conducted prior to the
date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and will request
the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information previously
furnished to such persons in connection therewith, and (2) promptly inform its
representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 5.2. Without
limiting the foregoing, any violation of the restrictions set forth in this
Section 5.2 by any Representative of SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or
not such person is purporting to act on behalf of SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.2 by SRGL.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the receipt of the SRGL Member
Approval, SRGL may, in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that
was unsolicited and did not otherwise result from a breach of Section 5.2(a),
and subject to compliance with Section 5.2(d) and (e):

     (x) furnish information with respect to SRGL and its Subsidiaries to the
person making such Acquisition Proposal and its representatives pursuant to and
in accordance with a confidentiality agreement containing terms and conditions
no less restrictive than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreements,
provided that such confidentiality agreement shall not contain any provisions
that would prevent SRGL from complying with its obligation to provide the
required disclosure to Investors pursuant to Section 5.2(c), and provided
further that all such information provided to such person has previously been
provided to Investors or is provided to Investors prior to or concurrently with
the time it is provided to such person; and

     (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with such person and its
representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal;

provided, in each case, that the Board of Directors of SRGL determines in good
faith, by resolution duly adopted after consultation with its outside legal
counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that (i)
the failure to furnish such information or participate in such discussions or
negotiations would breach its fiduciary duties to SRGL and/or the Members

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

under applicable Law, and (ii) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would
reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

     (c) As promptly as practicable after the receipt by SRGL of any Acquisition
Proposal or any inquiry with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to
lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, and in any case within 24 hours after the
receipt thereof, SRGL shall provide oral and written notice to Investors of (i)
such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, (ii) the identity of the person making any
such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and (iii) the material terms and
conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry (including, any
amendments or modifications thereto). SRGL shall keep Investors fully informed
on a current basis of the status of any such Acquisition Proposal, including,
any changes to the terms and conditions thereof, and promptly provide Investors
with copies of all written correspondence or other communications and other
written materials, and summaries of all oral correspondence or other
communications, sent or provided to or by SRGL and its representatives in
connection with any Acquisition Proposal.

     (d) Neither the Board of Directors of SRGL nor any committee thereof shall,
directly or indirectly, (i) withdraw, modify or change its recommendation with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including
the issuance of the Convertible Shares to Investors (a "Change in
Recommendation") or (ii) approve any letter of intent, memorandum of
understanding, merger agreement or other agreement, arrangement or understanding
relating to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition
Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the SRGL Member
Approval, the Board of Directors of SRGL may, in response to a Superior
Proposal, effect a Change in Recommendation, provided that the Board of
Directors of SRGL determines in good faith, by resolution duly adopted after
consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of
nationally recognized reputation, that the failure to do so would breach its
fiduciary duties to the Members under applicable Law (taking into consideration
any proposal by Investors to amend the terms of this Agreement), and provided,
further, that the Board of Directors of SRGL may not effect such a Change in
Recommendation unless (A) the Board of Directors of SRGL shall have first
provided prior written notice to Investors that it is prepared to effect a
Change in Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal at least three
business days prior to taking such action, which notice shall attach the most
current version of any written agreement relating to the transaction that
constitutes such Superior Proposal, and (B) Investors do not make, within three
business days after the receipt of such notice, a proposal that the Board of
Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with a financial advisor
of nationally recognized reputation, is at least as favorable to the Members as
such Superior Proposal; provided that within such three business day period,
none of SRGL, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives shall
take or propose to take any of the actions restricted or otherwise contemplated
by Section 5.2(a) or disclose the substance or terms of any discussions or
negotiations conducted among Investors and SRGL and their respective
representatives during such three business day period. SRGL agrees that, during
the three business day period prior to its effecting a Change in Recommendation,
SRGL and its representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Investors and
their respective representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Investors.

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

     (e) SRGL agrees that it will deliver to Investors a new written notice of
an Acquisition Proposal with respect to each Acquisition Proposal that has been
materially revised or modified prior to taking any action to recommend or
agreeing to recommend such Acquisition Proposal to the Members and that a new
three business day period shall commence for purposes of this Section 5.2 with
respect to each such materially revised or modified Acquisition Proposal from
the time Investors receive the written notice of the Acquisition Proposal with
respect thereto.

     (f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit SRGL or its Board
of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the
Exchange Act in respect of any Acquisition Proposal or making any disclosure
required by applicable Law or any disclosure to the Members if the Board of
Directors determines in good faith, by resolution duly adopted after
consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure
would breach its fiduciary duties to the Members or SRGL under applicable Law,
provided, however that neither the Board of Directors of SRGL nor any committee
thereof shall, except as expressly permitted by Section 5.2(d), effect a Change
in Recommendation or approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or
recommend, an Acquisition Proposal.

     (g) For purposes of this Agreement:

     "Acquisition Proposal" means any proposal or offer or any indication of
interest in making a proposal or offer in respect of a (i) merger, scheme of
arrangement, share exchange, reorganization, tender or exchange offer,
consolidation or other business combination involving SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries, (ii) an acquisition of 9.9% or more of the then-outstanding equity
securities or other capital stock of SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) an
acquisition of equity securities, or of debt securities or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities of SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries, which would, after giving effect to such conversion or exchange,
constitute more than 9.9% of the outstanding equity securities or other capital
stock of SRGL and its Subsidiaries, (iv) the issuance of debt securities having
a principal amount of more that $75 million individually or in the aggregate,
except as permitted pursuant to Section 5.1 during the term of this Agreement,
(v) a sale, transfer, conveyance, lease or disposal of all or any significant
portion of the assets of SRGL and its Subsidiaries in one transaction or a
series of related transactions, (vi) a liquidation or dissolution of SRGL and
its Subsidiaries or the adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution by SRGL
and its Subsidiaries, (vii) an agreement, understanding or other arrangement
providing for the occurrence of individuals who at the beginning of such period
constituted the Board of Directors or other governing body of SRGL (together
with any new directors whose election to such Board of Directors or whose
nomination for election by the Members was approved by a vote of a majority of
the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of
such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
approved), ceasing for any reason to constitute a majority of such Board of
Directors then in office or (viii) any other transaction in lieu of, or which
would intend to impede or prevent, the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents.

     "Superior Proposal" means any bona fide written proposal or offer and not
subject to any financing contingency made by a Third Party in respect of an
Acquisition Proposal, which if and to the extent such proposal is for (x) an
acquisition of voting equity securities of SRGL, is for the acquisition of no
less than 100% of the total outstanding voting equity securities of SRGL

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

(on a fully diluted and as converted basis) or (y) an issuance of equity or debt
securities or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for voting equity securities of SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries, is for an
issuance of no more than 68.75% of the total outstanding voting equity
securities of SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries (on a fully diluted and as
converted basis) after giving effect to such transaction and will provide SRGL
and/or its Subsidiaries with proceeds of at least $600,000,000, and in any event
containing terms and conditions that the Board of Directors determines in good
faith, by resolution duly adopted after consultation with its outside counsel
and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, would result in a
transaction that (A) if consummated, would be more favorable to the Members than
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the issuance of the
Convertible Shares to Investors, taking into account all of the terms and
conditions of such proposal and of this Agreement (including any proposal by
Investors to amend the terms of this Agreement), and (B) is reasonably capable
of being consummated on the terms so proposed, without significant incremental
delay or cost, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other
aspects of such proposal.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                OTHER AGREEMENTS

     SECTION 6.1. Access to Information; Confidentiality. SRGL and its
Subsidiaries shall afford to Investors and to the respective officers,
directors, employees, affiliates, financing sources and authorized advisors,
representatives and other agents of Investors reasonable access during the
period prior to the Closing Date to all of its properties, facilities, books,
contracts, commitments, records, data, systems, personnel, consultants
(including actuarial consultants), auditors and advisors and, during such
period, SRGL and its Subsidiaries shall furnish to Investors and to their
respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates financing sources and
authorized advisors representatives and other agents such information concerning
its business, properties, financial condition, operations and personnel as
Investors may from time to time reasonably request, other than any such
properties, books, contracts, commitments, records and information that (a) are
subject to an attorney-client or other legal privilege which SRGL and its legal
counsel reasonably believe will be impaired by such disclosure or (b) are
subject to an obligation of confidentiality, provided that SRGL will use
commercially reasonable efforts to have any such obligation of confidentiality
waived if Investors so request. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, in
fulfilling its obligations under this Section 6.1, neither SRGL nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall be required to (i) violate any applicable Law or (ii) furnish
or otherwise make available to Investors customer-specific data or competitively
sensitive information relating to areas of their business in which Investors or
their respective affiliates compete against SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries.
Furthermore, Investors shall not, without the prior written consent of SRGL,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
contact or communicate with any vendor, customer, Employee or other business
partner of SRGL with respect to or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby. Investors agree that their access to such investigation
shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the
operations of SRGL and its Subsidiaries.

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

     All requests for access or information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall
be directed to such person or persons as SRGL shall designate. Without limiting
the terms thereof, the Confidentiality Agreements shall govern the obligations
of the respective Investors party thereto and their respective officers,
directors, employees, affiliates, financing sources and authorized advisors,
representatives and other agents with respect to all information of any type
furnished or made available to them pursuant to this Section 6.1.

     SECTION 6.2. Consents, Approvals and Filings. (a) The parties will each use
their commercially reasonable efforts, and will cooperate fully with each other
(i) to comply as promptly as practicable with all requirements of Governmental
Entities applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, (ii) to obtain as promptly as practicable all
necessary permits, Orders or other consents, approvals or authorizations of
Governmental Entities and consents or waivers of all third parties necessary in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (iii) otherwise to take, or
cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly
with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party and its
Subsidiaries with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents, including the issuance of the Convertible
Shares to Investors and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents as promptly as practicable. In connection therewith, the
parties will make and cause their respective affiliates to make all legally
required filings as promptly as practicable in order to facilitate prompt
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will
provide and will cause their respective affiliates to provide such information
and communications to Governmental Entities as such Governmental Entities may
request. Each of the parties shall provide to the other parties copies of all
applications or other communications to Governmental Entities in connection with
this Agreement in advance of the filing or submission thereof.

     (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as promptly as
practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date hereof, each party
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file with all applicable
Governmental Entities any requests for approval of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement required to be obtained by such party, and all such requests
shall include all required exhibits. A reasonable time prior to furnishing any
written materials to any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the party making such filing shall furnish the
other parties with a copy thereof, and such other parties shall have a
reasonable opportunity to provide comments thereon. Each party shall give to the
other parties prompt written notice if it receives any notice or other
communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and, in the case of any such notice or
communication which is in writing, shall promptly furnish such other parties
with a copy thereof. If any Insurance Regulator requires that a hearing be held
in connection with any such approval, the applicable Investor shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for such hearing to be held promptly
after the notice that such hearing is required has been received by such
Investor. Each Investor shall give to SRGL and the other Investor reasonable
prior written notice of the time and place when any meetings or other
conferences may be held by it with any Insurance Regulator in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and SRGL and such other

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

Investor shall each have the right to have a representative or representatives
attend or otherwise participate in any such meeting or conference.

     SECTION 6.3. Public Announcements. Investors and SRGL, and their respective
affiliates, will consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other
the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public
statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without
the advance approval of the other parties following such consultation (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required
by applicable Law or by any Governmental Entity.

     SECTION 6.4. Further Assurances. SRGL agrees to execute and deliver, and
cause each of its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, and each Investor agrees
to execute and deliver, such other documents, certificates, agreements and other
writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in
order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

     SECTION 6.5. Notification of Certain Matters. SRGL shall give prompt notice
to Investors to the extent that it acquires actual knowledge of (i) the
occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of
which would be reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty of SRGL
contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate as of the date hereof or
as of the Closing Date and (ii) any failure of SRGL to comply with or satisfy
any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it
hereunder. Each Investor shall give prompt notice to SRGL and the other Investor
to the extent that it acquires actual knowledge of (A) the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be
reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty of such Investor
contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate as of the date hereof or
as of the Closing Date and (B) any failure of such Investor to comply with or
satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by
it hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of any notice pursuant
to this Section 6.5 shall not affect the representations, warranties or
agreements of the parties, the conditions to the performance by the parties
hereunder, or limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the
party receiving such notice.

     SECTION 6.6. Anti-Takeover Laws. If any "fair price," "business
combination" or "control share acquisition" statute or other similar statute or
regulation is or shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, Investors, SRGL and their respective Boards of Directors
shall use all reasonable efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions
as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms
contemplated hereby and shall otherwise act to minimize the effects of any such
statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.

     SECTION 6.7. Shareholder Litigation. SRGL shall give Investors the
opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder
Litigation against SRGL and/or its directors relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

                                      -43-

     SECTION 6.8. Availability of Ordinary Shares for Conversion. Following the
Closing, SRGL will not issue or agree to issue any Ordinary Shares or options,
rights or warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or take any other action if, after giving
effect thereto, the number of Ordinary Shares remaining unissued and duly
reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Convertible Shares shall be
insufficient to permit conversion of all the then outstanding Convertible Shares
after giving effect to any adjustment in the number of Ordinary Shares into
which such Convertible Shares are convertible as a result of such action. SRGL
shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved
for the purpose of issuance, after the Closing Date, 130% of the maximum number
of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Shares.

     SECTION 6.9. Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing (a) the
Convertible Shares, (b) the Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the
Convertible Shares, or (c) any other securities issued in respect of the
Convertible Shares or the Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the
Convertible Shares, upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation or similar event (collectively, the "Restricted
Securities"), shall (unless otherwise permitted or unless the securities
evidenced by such certificate shall have been registered under the Securities
Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation A thereunder) be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with a legend in the following form (in addition to any
legend required under applicable state securities laws):

     THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR
SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES
UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH
REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT.

     Upon request of a holder of such a certificate, SRGL shall remove the
foregoing legend from the certificate or issue to such holder a new certificate
therefor free of any transfer legend, if, with such request, SRGL shall have
received the opinion referred to in Section 6.10 to the effect that any transfer
by such holder of the securities evidenced by such certificate will not violate
the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws.

     SECTION 6.10. Listing Matters. SRGL shall promptly following the Closing
secure the listing of all of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the
Convertible Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated
quotation system, if any, upon which the Ordinary Shares are then listed
(subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all
such Ordinary Shares from time to time issuable under the terms of the
Transaction Documents for so long as the Ordinary Shares are so listed on The
New York Stock Exchange; provided, however, if the Ordinary Shares are delisted
or suspended from The New York Stock Exchange, SRGL shall use its reasonable
best efforts to promptly secure the listing of all of the Ordinary Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Shares on The NASDAQ National Market
System, The NASDAQ SmallCap Market or the American Stock Exchange and if SRGL
does not meet the eligibility requirements thereof, the Over the Counter
Bulletin Boards (an "Alternate Exchange"). SRGL shall use its reasonable best
efforts to maintain the Ordinary Shares' authorization for quotation on The New
York Stock Exchange or

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

an Alternate Exchange. Neither SRGL nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any
action that would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or
suspension of the Ordinary Shares on The New York Stock Exchange and shall take
all action reasonably necessary to maintain the listing of the Ordinary Shares
(including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Shares) on The New York Stock Exchange or an Alternate Exchange, as the case may
be including without limitation, exhausting all available remedies, appeal
reviews and other similar mechanisms and procedures provided for under the rules
and regulations of The New York Stock Exchange or such Alternate Exchange, as
applicable, to permit the continued listing of the Ordinary Shares (including
the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Shares) on The
New York Stock Exchange or such Alternate Exchange, as applicable. SRGL shall
pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under
this Section 6.10.

     SECTION 6.11. Pledge. SRGL acknowledges and agrees that the Convertible
Shares and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Shares may be pledged by an Investor in connection with a bona fide margin
agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by such
securities. The pledge of Convertible Shares or the Ordinary Shares issuable
upon conversion of the Convertible Shares shall not be deemed to be a transfer,
sale or assignment of such securities hereunder, and no Investor effecting a
pledge of such securities shall be required to provide SRGL with any notice
thereof or otherwise make any delivery to SRGL pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. SRGL
hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the
Convertible Shares or the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the
Convertible Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the
such securities to such pledgee by an Investor.

     SECTION 6.12. Register; Transfer Agent Instructions.

     (a) Register. SRGL shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or
such other office or agency of SRGL as it may designate by notice to each holder
of Convertible Shares), a register for the Convertible Shares, in which SRGL
shall record the name and address of the person in whose name the Convertible
Shares have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the
principal amount of Convertible Shares held by such person, and the number of
Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Shares held by such
person. SRGL shall keep the register open and available at all times during
business hours for inspection of any Investor or its legal representatives.

     (b) Transfer Agent Instructions. SRGL shall issue irrevocable instructions
to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates
or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC"), registered in the name of each Investor or its respective
nominee(s) or transferee(s), for the Convertible Shares issued at the Closing or
pursuant to or upon conversion of the Convertible Shares or transfer thereof in
such amounts as specified from time to time by each Investor to SRGL upon
conversion or transfer of the Convertible Shares in the form of Exhibit D
attached hereto (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). SRGL warrants
that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
referred to in this Section 6.12(b), and stop transfer instructions to give
effect to Section 6.9 hereof, will be given by SRGL to its transfer agent, and
that the

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

Convertible Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books
and records of SRGL as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, subject to applicable Law. If an Investor effects a
sale, assignment or transfer of the Convertible Shares or Ordinary Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Shares, SRGL shall permit the
transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such
name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor to effect such
sale, assignment or transfer. In the event that such sale, assignment or
transfer involves the Convertible Shares or Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to
an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, the transfer agent shall issue such securities to Investor, assignee or
transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive legend. SRGL
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to an Investor. Accordingly, SRGL acknowledges that the remedy
at Law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6.12(b) will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by SRGL of
the provisions of this Section 6.12(b), that an Investor shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.

     SECTION 6.13. Director and Officer Liability. (a) Investors shall not cause
SRGL to fail to honor all rights to indemnification and exculpation from
liability for acts and omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing and rights
to advancements of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of the
current or former directors, officers, employees or agents of SRGL and its
Subsidiaries (the "D&O Indemnitees") as provided in the memorandum of
association or articles of association (or similar constitutive documents) of
SRGL or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, or in any indemnification agreement
set forth in Section 6.13 of the SRGL Disclosure Letter and all such rights
shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by
the Transaction Documents and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise
modified in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights
thereunder of any such D&O Indemnitees, unless an alteration or modification of
such documents is required by applicable Law or the D&O Indemnitee affected
thereby otherwise consents in writing thereto.

     (b) Investors shall either (i) for six years after the Closing, not cause
SRGL to fail to provide officers' and directors' liability insurance in respect
of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing covering each such
person covered at or prior to the Closing by SRGL's officers' and directors'
liability insurance policy maintained by SRGL and in effect as of the date
hereof on terms with respect to coverage and amount, in the aggregate, no less
favorable than those of the policy in effect on the date hereof and described in
Section 6.13 of the SRGL Disclosure Letter; provided that in no event shall SRGL
be required to expend more than 200% of the amount of the premium expended by
SRGL and its Subsidiaries in the one-year period ending on October 31, 2006, to
maintain such insurance coverage immediately prior to the Closing, or (ii) not
cause SRGL to fail to obtain at the Closing "tail" insurance policies with a
claims period of at least six years from the Closing with respect to directors'
and officers' liability insurance at least as favorable, in the aggregate, as
SRGL's existing policies for claims arising from acts or omissions that occurred
at or prior to the Closing.

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

     (c) This Section 6.13 shall survive the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the Transaction Documents and is intended to be for
the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the D&O Indemnitees referred to
herein, their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on SRGL
and its successors and assigns.

     (d) If Investors or SRGL or any of their successors or assigns (i)
consolidates with, amalgamates into or engages in any other business combination
transaction with any other person and is not the continuing or surviving
corporation or entity of such consolidation, amalgamation or other transaction
or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of their properties and
assets to any person, then, and in each case, to the extent necessary, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Investors or SRGL,
as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.13,
and none of the actions described in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence shall
be taken until such provision is made.

     (e) The obligations of Investors and SRGL under this Section 6.13 shall not
be terminated or modified in any such manner as to adversely affect any D&O
Indemnitee to whom this Section 6.13 applies without the consent of such
affected D&O Indemnitee.

     SECTION 6.14. Employee Matters.

     (a) Employee Compensation. For the calendar years 2007 and 2008, Investors
shall not cause SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to fail to provide to each
Employee while in the employ of SRGL or its affiliates base compensation and the
annual bonus opportunity, each of which is no less favorable than that which was
provided to such employee by SRGL or its Subsidiary immediately prior to the
Closing Date.

     (b) SRGL Benefit Plans. For the calendar year 2007, Investors shall not
cause SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to fail to provide to each Employee while
in the employ of SRGL or its affiliates with employee benefit plans and
programs, including, without limitation, retirement, savings and other pension
plans; health, severance, insurance, disability and other employee welfare
plans, vacation and other similar plans, which are no less favorable in the
aggregate than the employee benefit plans and programs provided to Employees as
of the Closing Date and disclosed in Section 6.14 of the SRGL Disclosure Letter.

     (c) Vacations. Investors shall not cause SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to
fail to continue a vacation program for the benefit of the Employees through at
least the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs that its at least
as favorable as the SRGL vacation program in effect immediately prior to the
Closing Date. Investors shall not cause SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to fail
to recognize and provide all accrued but unused vacation of each Employee as of
the Closing Date.

     (d) COBRA. Investors shall not cause SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to
fail to provide continuation health care coverage under Section 4980B of the
Code and Title I, Subtitle B, Part 6 of ERISA ("COBRA") to all Employees and
their qualified beneficiaries, regardless of when a "qualifying event" (as
defined in COBRA) occurs, in accordance with the

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

continuation health care coverage requirements of COBRA and state and locals
laws of similar import.

     (e) WARN. SRGL shall be responsible for all liabilities under the United
States Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and similar rules,
statutes and ordinances in any jurisdiction relating to the Employees and which
are resulting from the Closing or from Investors' or SRGL's actions following
the Closing and Investors shall not cause SRGL to fail to honor any of its
obligations with respect thereto.

     (f) Severance Benefits. Investors shall not cause SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries to fail to provide to any Employee whose employment is terminated
for any reason other than for cause within twelve (12) months after the Closing
Date a severance benefit package equal to the severance benefit package that
would be provided under the severance plan for SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries
or any other contractual obligations as in effect for such employee on the day
immediately following the Closing Date and disclosed in Section 6.14 of the SRGL
Disclosure Letter.

     (g) Supplemental Payments. From and after the Closing Date, Investors shall
not cause SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries to fail to honor, pay, perform and
satisfy any and all liabilities, obligations and responsibilities to or in
respect of each Employee, former Employee or director of SRGL or any of its
Subsidiaries under the terms of each employment or service agreement, retention
plan, transaction bonus plan and each other arrangement between SRGL or any such
Subsidiary and any such Employee, former Employee or director, in each case, as
in effect or existing immediately prior to the Closing Date and disclosed in
Section 6.14 of the SRGL Disclosure Letter.

     SECTION 6.15. Tax Cooperation. During the period beginning on the date
hereof and ending on the Closing Date, Investors and SRGL shall cooperate and
use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) determine the amount of related
person insurance income ("RPII") as defined in Code Section 953(c)(2) that may
result from the purchase of the Convertible Shares by Investors with respect to
each foreign Insurance Subsidiary of SRGL and (ii) take such actions as may be
appropriate to reduce the anticipated amount of RPII that may be realized by
each foreign Insurance Subsidiary of SRGL in the tax year beginning January 1,
2007 in a manner that is reasonably acceptable to each of SRGL and each
Investor.

     (c) by SRGL or either Investor, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior
to August 26, 2007 (the "Outside Date"); provided, however, that the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to a
party if such party has failed to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement
and such failure has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the
Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

     (d) by SRGL or either Investor, if at the Special Meeting or any
adjournment thereof the SRGL Member Approval shall not have been obtained;

     (e) by either Investor, in the event of any breach by SRGL of any of SRGL's
agreements, representations or warranties contained herein that (i) could
reasonably be expected to result in the failure of a condition set forth in
Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) to be satisfied, and (ii) cannot be or has not been
cured by the earlier of (x) the thirtieth calendar day following receipt by SRGL
of written notice from either Investor of such breach and (y) the Outside Date;

                                      -53-

     (f) by SRGL, in the event of any breach by either Investor of any of such
Investor's agreements, representations or warranties contained herein that (i)
could reasonably be expected to result in the failure of a condition set forth
in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) to be satisfied and (ii) cannot be or has not been
cured by the earlier of (x) the thirtieth calendar day following receipt by such
Investor of written notice from SRGL of such breach and (y) the Outside Date;

     (g) by either Investor, if SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries or their
respective Representatives shall have breached in any respect their respective
non-de minimis obligations under Section 5.2 and such breach cannot be or has
not been cured by the date that is the earlier of (i) five business days
following receipt by SRGL of notice from Investors of such breach, (ii) five
business days following SRGL otherwise obtaining actual knowledge of such
breach, and (iii) the Outside Date; provided, that if such breach results in any
person making an Acquisition Proposal, such breach conclusively will be deemed
to be incapable of cure, and either Investor may terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this clause (g) immediately upon the making of such Acquisition
Proposal, regardless of whether such breach had previously been determined to be
cured. Investors shall provide notice to SRGL within five business days to the
extent they acquire actual knowledge of any non-de minimis breach of Section
5.2;

     (h) subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 5.2(d), by either
Investor, if the Board of Directors of SRGL shall (i) fail to authorize, approve
or recommend the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
including the issuance of the Convertible Shares to Investors, (ii) effect a
Change in Recommendation or, in the case of an Acquisition Proposal made by way
of a tender offer or exchange offer (other than by Investors or affiliates of
Investors), fail to recommend that the Members reject such tender offer or
exchange offer within the ten business day period specified in Section 14e-2(a)
under the Exchange Act, (iii) fail to reconfirm its authorization, approval or
recommendation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
including the issuance of the Convertible Shares to Investors within three
business days after a written request by Investors to do so, or (iv) approve or
recommend any Acquisition Proposal; or

     (i) subject to compliance with the last sentence of Section 5.2(d), by
SRGL, if the Board of Directors of SRGL authorizes SRGL, subject to complying
with the terms of this Agreement, to enter into a definitive agreement
concerning a transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal and SRGL notifies
Investors in writing that it intends to enter into such an agreement; provided
that simultaneously with such termination, Investors have received all fees and
expense reimbursements set forth in Section 8.3 by wire transfer of immediately
available funds.

     SECTION 8.2. Procedure Upon Termination and Consequences. Either Investor
or SRGL may terminate this Agreement when permitted pursuant to Section 8.1 by
delivering written notice of such termination to the other parties, and such
termination shall be effective upon delivery of such notice in accordance with
Section 10.2. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, (a) Investors
(and their respective agents and representatives) shall return to SRGL all
documents, and other material obtained from SRGL that constitutes confidential
information under such Investor's Confidentiality Agreement, whether obtained
before or after the execution hereof, and (b) such termination shall be the sole
remedy of Investors and SRGL with respect to breaches of any agreement,
representation or warranty

                                      -54-

contained in this Agreement and none of the parties hereto nor any of their
respective trustees, directors, officers or affiliates, as the case may be,
shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party to this
Agreement except with respect to this Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Article X and
the Confidentiality Agreements, including with respect to information that is
subject to the Confidentiality Agreements pursuant to this Agreement, each of
which shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, none of the parties hereto shall be relieved or released from any
liabilities or damages arising out of its willful breach of this Agreement.

     SECTION 8.3. Fees and Expenses. (a) SRGL agrees to pay each Investor the
sum of $15,260,000 (the "Standby Commitment Fee"), if this Agreement is
terminated:

     (i) by SRGL pursuant to Section 8.1(i);

     (ii) by either Investor pursuant to Section 8.1(g) or (h);

     (iii) pursuant Section 8.1(e), provided, that such termination is based on
a material breach of Section 2.1; or

     (iv) pursuant to Section 8.1(b), 8.1(c), 8.1(d), or 8.1(e) (other than with
respect to breaches of Section 2.1), provided that within one year after the
date of such termination, SRGL enters into a definitive agreement to consummate,
or consummates, the transactions contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal with
any person who makes an Acquisition Proposal prior to the date of the Special
Meeting (or prior to the termination of this Agreement if no Special Meeting has
occurred by such date).

     (b) If SRGL is required to pay Investors a Standby Commitment Fee, such
Standby Commitment Fee shall be payable immediately prior to termination of this
Agreement in the event of termination by SRGL, and promptly, but in no event
more than two business days, after the receipt by SRGL of a notice of
termination from either Investor in the event of termination by either Investor,
in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts
designated by each Investor (except that, in the case of termination pursuant to
Section 8.1(b), 8.1(c), 8.1(d), or 8.1(e) (other than with respect to breaches
of Section 2.1) giving rise to the obligation to pay a Standby Commitment Fee
pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(iv), such payment shall be made on the date that SRGL
enters into a definitive agreement to consummate, or consummates, the
transactions contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal. If SRGL is required to pay
Investors a Standby Commitment Fee, SRGL shall, in addition to the Standby
Commitment Fee, reimburse Investors for all of their and their respective
affiliates' out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and expenses of financial
advisors, outside legal counsel, actuaries and accountants, incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby ("Expenses"). If this
Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or (e), SRGL shall
reimburse Investors for all of their and their respective affiliates' Expenses,
up to a maximum amount of $6,500,000 in the aggregate for both Investors, to the
extent in excess of the retainer of $1,500,000 paid by SRGL to Investors
pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2006, among SRGL
and Investors (the "Exclusivity Agreement"). Any Expenses payable pursuant to
this Section 8.3(b) shall be paid by SRGL within one business day of receipt of
written notice from Investors requesting payment thereof.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties
hereby acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an
integral part of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and that,
without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement;
accordingly, if a party that owes any amounts pursuant to this Section 8.3 fails
promptly to pay such amounts due and, in order to obtain such payment, another
party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the delinquent party
for such amounts, the delinquent party shall pay interest on such amounts from
the date payment of such amounts were due to the date of actual payment at the
prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was due,
together with the other party's costs and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. SRGL acknowledges that it is
obligated to pay Investors any amounts due pursuant to Section 8.3 whether or
not the Members have approved this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     SECTION 9.1. Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties
contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered
pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Closing for a period
of 18 months following the Closing Date; provided that the representations and
warranties in (a) the first sentence of each of Sections 3.1 and 4.1 and (b)
Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 4.2 shall survive indefinitely, and the representations
and warranties in Sections 3.9, 3.10 and 4.12 shall survive until the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations. The covenants and agreements of the
parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing
delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Closing
indefinitely or for any shorter period expressly specified therein.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, any breach of representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this
Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant
to the preceding sentences, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving
rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom
such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.

     SECTION 9.2. Indemnification by SRGL. From and after the Closing, SRGL
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, its affiliates, member,
partners, directors, shareholders and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, advisers and representatives (collectively, the "Investor
Indemnitees") from and against, and pay or reimburse the Investor Indemnitees
for, (x) any and all damage, loss, liability, Taxes and expense (including
reasonable expenses of investigation, enforcement and collection and reasonable
attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses in connection with any Litigation
and any incidental or indirect damages, losses, liabilities or expenses, and
diminution in value, including, without limitation, resulting from reasonably
foreseeable lost profits), whether or not involving a third party claim, but
excluding consequential damages other than out-of-pocket or diminution in value
damages resulting from the payment of consequential damages to a third party
(collectively, and together with the amount described in clause (y) below,
"Losses"), resulting from or arising out of (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of
any representation or warranty when made or deemed made by SRGL in or pursuant
to this Agreement, or (b) any failure of SRGL to perform any covenant or
agreement under this Agreement, or (y) the amount of the aggregate

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

Reinsurance Recoverables not collected in cash by SRGL or its Subsidiaries or
offset against other amounts owed by SRGL or its Subsidiaries to the applicable
Retrocessionaires either on, prior to or following the date hereof, but in any
event, on or prior to February 28, 2008 and properly reflected in accordance
with GAAP, consistently applied, to the then current consolidated balance sheet
of SRGL and its Subsidiaries, in excess of an aggregate of $18,800,000;
provided, however, that with respect to any claim based upon a breach or
inaccuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.10, SRGL
shall only indemnify the Investor Indemnitees for Taxes imposed on SRGL or its
subsidiaries that are attributable to a tax period or portions thereof ending on
or before Closing.

     SECTION 9.3. Indemnification by Investors. From and after the Closing, each
Investor, severally but not jointly, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
SRGL and its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers and
representatives (collectively, the "SRGL Indemnitees") from and against, and pay
or reimburse the SRGL Indemnitees for, any and all Losses resulting from or
arising out of (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty
made or deemed made by such Investor in or pursuant to this Agreement or (b) any
failure of such Investor to perform any covenant or agreement under this
Agreement. SRGL acknowledges, on behalf of the SRGL Indemnitees, that an SRGL
Indemnitee may assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.3
solely against that Investor in breach of the representation, warranty or
covenant giving rise to such claim, and not against the other Investor unless
such other Investor is also in breach of a representation, warranty or covenant
giving rise to such claim.

     SECTION 9.4. Certain Limitations on Indemnification. (a) After the Closing,
except with respect to Losses (x) arising out of inaccuracies in or breaches of
the representations and warranties contained in the first sentence of Section
3.1 and Sections 3.2 and 3.4, (y) arising out of fraud, bad faith, intentional
misrepresentation or intentional omission by SRGL, SRGL shall not be required to
indemnify Investor Indemnitees for Losses under Section 9.2(x)(a), or (z)
indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2(y), (i) until the aggregate amount of all
such Losses exceeds 1% (or 2% only in the case of Losses arising out of
inaccuracies in or breaches of the representations and warranties contained in
Section 3.10) of the Aggregate Consideration (the "Threshold"), in which event
SRGL shall be responsible for all Losses from the first dollar of such Losses,
whether or not in excess of the Threshold or (ii) for Losses in the aggregate in
excess of $100,000,000 (or $125,000,000 only in the case of Losses arising out
of inaccuracies in or breaches of the representations and warranties contained
in Section 3.10 and attributable or related to, or discovered in any currently
notified or pending audit or Proceeding of any Governmental Entity, as the same
may be expanded in scope following the date of this Agreement) (the "Cap").

     (b) After the Closing, except with respect to Losses arising out of (x)
inaccuracies in or breaches of the representations and warranties contained in
the first sentence of Section 4.1 and Section 4.2, or (y) fraud, bad faith,
intentional misrepresentation or intentional omission by Investors, neither
Investor shall be required to indemnify SRGL Indemnitees for Losses under
Section 9.3(a), (i) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the
Threshold, in which event such Investor shall be responsible for all Losses,
whether or not in excess of the Threshold from the first dollar of such Losses,
or (ii) for Losses in excess of $50,000,000 per Investor.

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

     (c) Any indemnification payment due to the Investor Indemnitees pursuant to
this Article IX shall be satisfied (i) in the case of any out-of-pocket fees or
expenses (including the cost of enforcing their rights under this Article IX),
by cash reimbursement thereof, and (ii) in the case of all other Losses, solely
by adjustment of the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Convertible Shares
are convertible in the manner set forth in the Convertible Shares Certificate of
Designations. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the number of Ordinary Shares into
which the Convertible Shares are convertible by all holders thereof shall be
adjusted as a result of clause (ii) of this Section 9.4(c), but only the
Investor Indemnitees, and not other holders of the Convertible Shares, shall be
eligible to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, and
(y) the Investor Indemnitees' rights under this Article IX shall not be
diminished by the sale, transfer or assignment by Investors of the Convertible
Shares to any other person.

     (d) Losses of an Investor Indemnitee resulting from a diminution in value
of an Investor's investment in SRGL shall be determined by an independent
investment banking firm of national reputation agreed upon by SRGL and Investors
(the "Valuation Bank"). The Valuation Bank shall determine such diminution in
value based on changes in the valuation of SRGL using the valuation assumptions
and models used by Investors at the time of their decision to purchase the
Convertible Shares, which Investors shall provide to the Valuation Bank in
connection with such determination. The fees and expenses of the Valuation Bank
shall be paid by SRGL.

     (e) For purposes of determining the amount of Losses to be indemnified
pursuant to this Article IX (but not for purposes of determining whether an
inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty has occurred), any
inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty (other than the
representation and warranty contained in Section 3.8) shall be determined
without regard to any materiality, "SRGL Material Adverse Effect," "Investor
Material Adverse Effect" or similar qualification contained in or otherwise
applicable to such representation or warranty.

     (f) The rights and remedies of any party in respect of any inaccuracy or
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall in no way be
limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts
or circumstances upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy or breach is based
may also be the subject matter of any other representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach. The representations,
warranties and covenants of SRGL and Investors' rights to indemnification with
respect thereto shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any
investigation made by or on behalf of Investors (including by any of their
respective advisors, consultants or representatives) or by reason of the fact
that Investors or any of such advisors, consultants or representatives knew or
should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be
inaccurate.

     (g) Except as provided in Section 8.3 and Section 10.7, the indemnity
provided for in this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of
Investor Indemnitees or SRGL Indemnitees, as the case may be, after the Closing
for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of SRGL or Investors,
respectively, herein or any other breach of this Agreement, provided that
nothing herein shall limit in any way any such party's remedies in respect of
fraud, bad faith, intentional misrepresentation or omission or intentional
misconduct

                                      -58-
<PAGE>

by the other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. For
the avoidance of doubt, this Article IX shall not limit any remedies of any
party for any breach of this Agreement by any other party in the event that
there is not a Closing.

     (h) No party to this Agreement (or any of its affiliates) shall, in any
event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party (or any of its
affiliates) for any punitive damages of such other party (or any of its
affiliates) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance or
breach hereof, other than any such damages arising in connection with a Third
Party Claim.

     (i) Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be
treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the MassMutual Consideration or the
Cerberus Consideration, as applicable.

     (j) To the extent that any Losses for which indemnification is sought from
SRGL pursuant to this Article IX result from actions or the failure to take
action by SRGL or any of its Subsidiaries that Investors or either of them
caused SRGL or such Subsidiary to take or fail to take, directly or indirectly,
SRGL shall not be required to provide any indemnity for such Losses.

     SECTION 9.5. Third Party Claim Procedures. In the case of any Litigation
asserted by a third party (a "Third Party Claim") against a party entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement (an "Indemnified Party"), notice shall be
given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification
(the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual
knowledge of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall permit the
Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party and so long as the
Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the
Indemnified Party for Losses related to such Third Party Claim) to assume the
defense of such Third Party Claim, provided that (a) counsel for the
Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party
may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party's expense, and (b) the
failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this
Agreement except to the extent that such failure results in a lack of actual
notice to the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnifying Party is materially
prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice. If the Indemnifying Party
does not promptly assume the defense of such Third Party Claim following notice
thereof, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such
defense and to settle or agree to pay in full such Third Party Claim without the
consent of the Indemnifying Party without prejudice to the ability of the
Indemnified Party to enforce its claim for indemnification against the
Indemnifying Party hereunder. Except with the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such Third Party
Claim, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that
(i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the
Indemnified Party, (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of an irrevocable
release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, or (iii)
would restrict such Indemnified Party's ability to conduct its business in the
ordinary course or would otherwise have a materially adverse impact on the
business of the Indemnified Party. If the

                                      -59-
<PAGE>

Indemnified Party in good faith determines that the conduct of the defense or
any proposed settlement of any Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to
affect adversely the Indemnified Party's Tax liability or the ability of SRGL or
any of its Subsidiaries to conduct its business, or that the Indemnified Party
may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are
inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying
Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the
right at all times to take over and control the defense, settlement, negotiation
or Litigation relating to any such Third Party Claim at the sole cost of the
Indemnifying Party, provided that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and
control, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without
the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In any event, SRGL and Investors
shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Article
IX and the records of each shall be reasonably available to the other with
respect to such defense.

     SECTION 9.6. Independent Committee. All actions of SRGL with respect to a
claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, whether by Investor
Indemnitees or SRGL Indemnitees, including negotiation or settlement with
Investors or Investor Indemnitees, decisions regarding the making or defending
of indemnification claims and the hiring of legal counsel and other advisors
with respect thereto, and agreement as to the identity of the Valuation Bank
pursuant to Section 9.4(d), shall be taken by a committee of the Board of
Directors of SRGL consisting solely of "independent directors" pursuant to the
rules of The New York Stock Exchange who are not specifically designated by
Investors pursuant to Sections 10(a)-(e) of the Registration Rights and
Shareholders Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE X

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

     SECTION 10.1. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section
8.3, if the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents are not
consummated, each party hereto shall pay its own Expenses. If the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents are consummated, SRGL shall pay (a)
the Expenses of - Investors (other than fees and expenses for investment banking
services in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby), up to a maximum amount of $6,500,000 in the aggregate for both
Investors, to the extent in excess of the retainer of $1,500,000 paid by SRGL to
Investors pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement, and (b) the Investors' fees and
expenses for investment banking services in connection with this - Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby, up to a maximum amount of the greater of
$12,000,000, and the aggregate amount of fees and expenses for investment
banking services in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby paid by SRGL and its affiliates to Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Duff & Phelps, LLC, in either case in the aggregate
for both Investors.

     SECTION 10.2. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
given if delivered personally, by facsimile (which is confirmed) or sent by
overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) to the parties at the following
addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like
notice):

     SECTION 10.3. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to
a Section, Exhibit, or Schedule, such reference shall be to a Section of, or an
Exhibit, or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of
contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes
only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement. Whenever the words "include", "includes" or "including" are used in

limitation". Whenever the singular is used herein, the same shall include the
plural, and whenever the plural is used herein, the same shall include the

     SECTION 10.4. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Other
Representations. This Agreement (including the SRGL Disclosure Letter, the
MassMutual

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

Disclosure Letter, the Cerberus Disclosure Letter and all Exhibits hereto),
together with the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality
Agreements, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties
with respect to such subject matter and supersedes any letters, memoranda or
other documents or communications, whether oral, written or electronic,
submitted or made by (i) Investors or their respective agents or representatives
to SRGL or any of their respective agents or representatives, or (ii) SRGL,
Goldman, Sachs & Co., Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., or their respective agents or
representatives to Investors or any of their agents or representatives, in
connection with the bidding process which occurred prior to the execution of
this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the negotiation and execution of
this Agreement. No communications by or on behalf of SRGL, including responses
to any questions or inquiries, whether orally, in writing or electronically, and
no information provided in any data room or any copies of any information from
any data room provided to Investors or any other information shall be deemed to
constitute a representation, warranty or an agreement of SRGL or be part of this
Agreement. Except for the provisions of Article IX (which shall be for the
benefit of the Investor Indemnitees and the SRGL Indemnitees) and Section 6.13
(which shall be for the benefit of the D&O Indemnitees), this Agreement is not
intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or
remedies hereunder. Investors acknowledge that neither SRGL nor any affiliate
nor any officer, director, employee, representative, agent or advisor of any of
them makes or has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, or
any other inducement or promise to Investors except as specifically made in this
Agreement.

     SECTION 10.5. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such
principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require
or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, except that the
Laws of the Cayman Islands shall apply to the extent required in connection with
the meeting of Members and the issuance of the Convertible Shares, and to the
fiduciary duties of the board of directors of SRGL in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case without giving effect
to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or
rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the
application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

     SECTION 10.6. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in
part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior
written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment that is not
consented to shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this
Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6, each Investor may assign, without
the prior written consent of any other parties hereto, (i) all or any portion of
its respective rights, benefits or obligations hereunder to an affiliate and
(ii) any rights under this Agreement to such Investor's financing institutions
and subsequent purchasers of such Investor or substantially all of its assets,
or (iii) any of its respective rights, benefits or obligations hereunder to the
other Investor, provided, that in the case of clause (i) above, no such
assignment shall relieve such Investor of obligations under this Agreement that
have not been performed timely by any such affiliate assignee.

     SECTION 10.7. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, superseded,
canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived, only by a
written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto or, in the case of a
waiver, by the party waiving compliance; provided, that after the Closing Date,
no amendments to this Agreement, or waivers hereunder, shall be made unless the
amendment or waiver has been approved (i) by SRGL's independent directors, as
determined under the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of The New York Stock Exchange, or (ii) upon a vote of the Members
as a class (excluding any Ordinary Shares held by Investors).

     SECTION 10.8. Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It
is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to, in addition to any
other remedies at law or otherwise, specific performance of this Agreement or an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the
United States or any state court which in either case is located in the City of
New York (any such federal or state court, a "New York Court"), in addition to
any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition,
each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal
jurisdiction of any New York Court in the event any dispute arises out of this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b)
agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction or
venue by motion or other request for leave from any such New York Court.

     SECTION 10.9. Severability. (a) Whenever possible, each provision or
portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion
of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision
or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been
contained herein.

     (b) This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by
each of the parties.

     (c) No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on
the part of any party of any right, power or privilege, nor any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

     SECTION 10.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of
the parties and delivered to the other parties.

                                      -64-

     SECTION 10.11. Independent Nature of Investors' Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Investor under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto
or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Investor confirms that it has independently
participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the
advice of its own counsel and advisors. SRGL acknowledges that each Investor has
independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated
hereby and did not act as a group. Each Investor shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

     SECTION 10.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereby expressly
waives any right to trial by jury in any dispute, whether sounding in contract,
tort or otherwise, between or among any of the parties arising out of or related
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any other instrument or
document executed or delivered in connection herewith. Any party may file an
original counterpart or a copy of this Agreement with any court as written
evidence of the consent of the parties to the waiver of their right to trial by
jury.

                [FORM OF IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS]

                 FORM OF IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS

     Reference is made to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
November 26, 2006 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among Scottish Re Group
Limited, an exempted company limited by shares organized and existing under the
laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Company"), MassMutual Capital Partners LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("MassMutual"), and SRGL Acquisition, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("Cerberus" and together with MassMutual, the
"Investors"), pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Investors shares
of its 7.25% Convertible Cumulative Participating Preferred Shares, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Preferred Shares"), which Preferred Shares are convertible
into ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Ordinary
Shares").

     This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to
you, as Transfer Agent of the Company:

     (i) to issue, countersign, register and deliver on [__________], 2007 to
the Investors or their assignees or transferees, share certificates representing
an aggregate of 1,000,000 Preferred Shares newly issued by the Company. Such
share certificates shall be registered in the names and amounts indicated on
Schedule I hereto;

     (ii) subject to and in compliance with applicable law, to issue,
countersign, register and deliver share certificates in respect of Ordinary
Shares (the "Conversion Shares") of the Company upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares to or upon the order of an Investor or its assignees or transferees from
time to time upon surrender to you of a properly executed Conversion Notice in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Conversion Notice") which has been
acknowledged by the Company as indicated by the signature of a duly authorized
officer of the Company thereon; and

     (iii) to issue share certificates in respect of Preferred Shares or
Ordinary Shares upon transfer or resale thereof.

     You acknowledge and agree that so long as you have previously received (a)
written confirmation from the General Counsel of the Company (or its outside
legal counsel) that either (i) a registration statement covering resales of the
Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares has been declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "1933 Act"), or (ii) that sales of the Preferred Shares or the
Conversion Shares may be made in

<PAGE>

conformity with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, and (b) if applicable, a copy of
such registration statement, then, within two business days after your receipt
of a notice of transfer or Conversion Notice, you shall issue the share
certificates in respect of the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares, as
applicable, and such share certificates shall not bear any legend restricting
transfer of the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares thereby, as the case
may be, and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction; provided,
however, that if such Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares are not registered
for resale under the 1933 Act or able to be sold under Rule 144, then the share
certificates for such Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares shall bear the
following legend:

     "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED
FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE
SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN
EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT."

     A form of written confirmation from the General Counsel of the Company or
the Company's outside legal counsel that a registration statement covering
resales of the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares has been declared
effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     Please execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your
agreement to act in accordance with these instructions. Should you have any
questions concerning this matter, please contact me at (___) --------.

     Please be advised that the Investors are relying upon this letter as an
inducement to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement and, accordingly, each Investor and its assignees and
transferees are third party beneficiaries to these instructions.

            FORM OF NOTICE OF EFFECTIVENESS OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Ladies and Gentleman,

     We are counsel to Scottish Re Group Limited, an exempted company limited by
shares organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the
"Company"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2006 (the "Purchase
Agreement"), by and among the Company, MassMutual Capital Partners LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("MassMutual"), and SRGL Acquisition, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (together with MassMutual, the "Investors"),
pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Investors shares of its 7.25%
Convertible Cumulative Participating Preferred Shares, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Preferred Shares"), which Preferred Shares are convertible into ordinary
shares of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Ordinary Shares").
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has also entered into a
Registration Rights and Shareholders Agreement, dated as of [__________] (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed, among
other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), including the Preferred Shares and the Ordinary
Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In connection with the Company's
obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on [____________], the
Company filed a Registration Statement (File No. [___________](the "Registration
Statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
the resale of the Regsitrable Securities, which names the Investors or their
assignees or transferees as selling stockholders thereunder.

     In connection with the forgoing, we advise you that [a member of the SEC's
staff has advised us that the SEC has entered an order declaring the
Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [enter time of
effectiveness] on [enter date of effectiveness]] [the Registration Statement
became effective upon filing on [enter date of effectiveness]] and we have no
knowledge that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or
that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the
SEC and accordingly, the Registrable Securities are available for resale under
the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

      Pursuant to Article [6] of the Articles of Association of the Company

     SCOTTISH RE GROUP LIMITED, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the
"Company"), certifies that pursuant to the authority contained in clause [6] of
its Memorandum of Association and Article [6] of its Articles of Association,
the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors"), on
___________, duly approved and adopted the following resolutions, which
resolutions remain in full force and effect on the date hereof:

     RESOLVED, that the issue by the Company of 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's 7.25% Convertible Cumulative Participating Preferred Shares, par value
$0.01 per share, with an issue price and liquidation preference of $600 per
share (the "Stated Value") and designated "7.25% Convertible Cumulative
Participating Preferred Shares" (the "Preferred Shares") hereby is authorized
and approved;

     RESOLVED FURTHER, that the powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, of the Preferred Shares, including the
number of authorized shares and dividend rate established hereby, are authorized
and approved as set forth in this Certificate of Designations.

     Certain defined terms used in this Certificate of Designations have the
meaning assigned thereto in Section 12.

     Section 1. Ranking. The Preferred Shares shall rank, with respect to
payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon a Liquidation Event: (i)
senior to the ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the
"Ordinary Shares"), whether now outstanding or hereafter issued, and to each
other class or series of shares of the Company established by the Board of
Directors after the date hereof, the terms of which do not expressly provide
that such class or series ranks senior to or pari passu with the Preferred
Shares as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon a Liquidation
Event (collectively referred to as "Junior Shares"); (ii) pari passu with each
class or series of shares of the Company (including any series of preferred
shares established after the date hereof by the Board of Directors), the terms
of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks pari passu with the
Preferred Shares as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon a
Liquidation Event (collectively referred to as "Parity Shares"); and (iii)
junior to each other class or series of the Company's securities outstanding on
the date of approval and adoption of this Certificate of Designations by the
Board

<PAGE>
                                                                               2

of Directors that ranks senior to the Ordinary Shares, and to each class or
series of shares of the Company (including any series of preferred shares
established after the date of approval and adoption of this Certificate of
Designations by the Board of Directors), the terms of which expressly provide
that such class or series ranks senior to the Preferred Shares as to payment of
dividends and distribution of assets upon a Liquidation Event and all classes of
preferred shares of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date of
approval and adoption of this Certificate of Designations by the Board of
Directors (collectively referred to as "Senior Shares"). The Company's ability
to issue, authorize or increase the authorized amount of Parity Shares or Senior
Shares shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.

     Section 2. Dividends. Accretion Dividends. Subject to applicable law,
dividends on the Preferred Shares shall be cumulative and accrete daily on a
non-compounding basis, whether or not such dividends have been declared and
whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally
available for the payment of dividends, at the rate per annum of 7.25% per share
on the Stated Value in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the
Preferred Shares (the "Issue Date"). Dividends pursuant to this Section 2(a)
will be made solely by increasing the Stated Value by the amount of the dividend
then due, without any further action by the Company. The amount of dividends
accreting will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months for actual days elapsed.

     (b) Participation Rights in Ordinary Share Dividends. If the Company shall
fix a record date for the making of any dividend or distribution of any sort or
kind to holders of Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, distributions
of evidences of Indebtedness, assets (including cash), other property or
Ordinary Shares or other securities in the Company or rights, options or
warrants with respect thereto, each Holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled
to receive a distribution equal to the distribution such Holder would have been
entitled to receive if such Holder had exercised its right to convert all of its
Preferred Shares for Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 6 immediately prior to
the dividend record date with respect to such dividend or distribution. The
payment made to Holders of Preferred Shares under the preceding sentence shall
be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of
Ordinary Shares, and the accreted value of the Stated Value, as provided in
Section 2(a), above, shall be contemporaneously reduced to the extent of any
such dividend or distribution paid in cash or in property other than securities
of the Company or its Subsidiaries or rights, options or warrants with respect
thereto (which value, in the event of a distribution other than cash, shall be a
fair market value reasonably determined by the Company, subject to the
reasonable agreement of the Holders of Preferred Shares).

     (c) No Other Dividend Rights. Other than as provided in this Section 2, (i)
no dividends shall be payable to the Holders of Preferred Shares and (ii) no
dividends or distributions shall be made on the Preferred Shares without the
same being paid to the holders of Ordinary Shares.

                                                                               3

     Section 3. Liquidation Preference.

     (a) Liquidation Event. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation (in bankruptcy or otherwise), dissolution or winding-up of the
Company (each, a "Liquidation Event"), each Holder of Preferred Shares, by
reason of its ownership thereof, shall be entitled to receive out of the assets
of the Company available for distribution to shareholders of the Company, prior
and in preference to any payment or distribution of assets of the Company to the
holders of its Ordinary Shares or any other Junior Shares, but after any
distribution on any of the Company's Indebtedness or Senior Shares, an amount
equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate Liquidation Preference attributable to
the Preferred Shares held by such Holder, or (ii) the amount that such Holder
would have been entitled to receive with respect to such Liquidation Event if it
had exercised its right to convert all of its Preferred Shares into Ordinary
Shares pursuant to Section 6 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event. The
"Liquidation Preference" of the Preferred Shares shall be the initial Stated
Value thereof, as adjusted for (x) the accretion of dividends provided in
Section 2(a), above, subject to the provisions of Section 12(h) below, and (y)
any payment of dividends or distributions as provided in Section 2(b), above, in
each case through the date of payment of the Liquidation Preference.

     (b) Change of Control.

          (i) In addition to the rights of the holders of Preferred Shares under
Section 3(b)(ii), below, upon a Change of Control (as defined below) of the
Company, each Holder of Preferred Shares shall have the right, at such Holder's
option, to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such Holder's
Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to the Change of Control
Redemption Price. No sooner than 20 Business Days nor later than 10 Business
Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the
public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written
notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (a "Notice of Change of
Control") to each Holder of Preferred Shares. At any time during the period
beginning after receipt of a Notice of Change of Control (or, in the event a
Notice of Change of Control is not delivered at least 10 Business Days prior to
a Change of Control, at any time on or after the date which is 10 Business Days
prior to a Change of Control) and ending on the date of such Change of Control,
any Holder of the Preferred Shares then outstanding may require the Company to
redeem all or a portion of the holder's Preferred Shares then outstanding by
delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (a "Notice
of Redemption Upon Change of Control") to the Company, which Notice of
Redemption Upon Change of Control shall indicate (1) the number of Preferred
Shares that such Holder is submitting for redemption, and (2) the applicable
Change of Control Redemption Price. Upon the Company's receipt of a Notice(s) of
Redemption Upon Change of Control from any Holder of Preferred Shares, the
Company shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day
following such receipt, notify each Holder of Preferred Shares by facsimile of
the Company's receipt of such Notice(s) of Redemption Upon Change of Control.
The Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price
simultaneously with the consummation of the Change of Control and the relevant
Preferred Shares shall thereupon be redeemed and cancelled. Payments provided
for in this Section 3(b) shall have

<PAGE>
                                                                               4

priority to payments to other shareholders (other than holders of Senior Shares)
in connection with a Change of Control. Subject to the Liquidation Preference
described in this Section 3(b)(i), upon a Change of Control, such number of
Preferred Shares that a Holder is submitting for redemption pursuant to the
Notice of Redemption Upon Change of Control shall be exchanged for the
consideration owing to the Holders of such Preferred Shares as a result of such
Change of Control.

          (ii) In addition to the rights of the Holders of Preferred Shares
under Section 3(b)(i) and to the extent such Holder elects not to exercise all
or any portion of its rights thereunder, prior to the consummation of any (i)
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to an acquiring Person
or (ii) other Change of Control following which the Company is not the surviving
entity, the Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the
successor, or, if applicable, the parent of the successor, resulting from such
Change of Control (in each case, the "Acquiring Entity") a written agreement (in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of at least a majority
of the Preferred Shares then outstanding) to deliver to each Holder of Preferred
Shares in exchange for such shares, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced
by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the
Preferred Shares, including, without limitation, having a ranking, stated value
and liquidation preference equal to the ranking, Stated Value and the
Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder at the time
of exchange, and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of at least a
majority of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. In addition to the rights of
the holders of Preferred Shares under Section 3(b), prior to the consummation of
any other Change of Control, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of at least a majority
of the Preferred Shares then outstanding) to insure that each of the Holders of
the Preferred Shares will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in
lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Ordinary Shares immediately
theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such Holder's
Preferred Shares such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been
issued or payable in such Change of Control with respect to or in exchange for
the number of Ordinary Shares which would have been acquirable and receivable
upon the conversion of such Holder's Preferred Shares as of the date of such
Change of Control (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions
on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares).

     (c) Manner of Distribution. In the event the assets of the Company
available for distribution to Holders upon any Liquidation Event or Change of
Control of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which
such Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 3(a) or Section 3(b)(i), as
applicable, no such distribution shall be made on account of any Junior Shares
and no such distribution shall be made on account of any Parity Shares upon such
Liquidation Event or Change of Control unless proportionate amounts shall be
paid on account of the Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full
distributable amounts for which Holders and holders of any Parity Shares are
entitled upon such Liquidation Event or Change of Control, with amounts
allocable to each class or series of such shares determined on a pro rata basis
of the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of each class
or series and accrued dividends to which each class or series is entitled. After
the payment to the Holders of

<PAGE>
                                                                               5

the full preferential amounts provided for above, the Holders as such shall have
no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.

     Section 4. Voting Rights. Except as may be otherwise provided in this
Certificate of Designations or required by law, the Preferred Shares shall be
entitled to notice of, attend and vote at all general meetings of the Company as
a single class with all other shareholders entitled to notice of, attend and
vote at such general meetings of the Company on the same terms as the holder of
an Ordinary Share. At any such general meeting, each Holder shall have the
number of votes for each Preferred Share held by such Holder equal to the whole
number of Ordinary Shares into which such Preferred Share may be converted
pursuant to Section 6 as of the record date for the vote. In addition to voting
rights specifically required by the Companies Law from time to time, Holders of
Preferred Shares have the right to vote on all matters voted upon by the holders
of Ordinary Shares. Each Holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to notice
of any general meeting of the Company.

     (b) So long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, in addition to any
other vote of shareholders of the Company required under applicable law or the
Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association of the Company, the prior
approval or written consent, in accordance with applicable law and the Articles
of Association and Memorandum of Association of the Company, of the Holders of a
majority in interest of the outstanding Preferred Shares (or, if a greater
percentage is required pursuant to applicable law, such greater percentage),
voting separately as a class, will be required for the Company, or for the
Company to permit any of its Subsidiaries, (i) to create, issue, authorize or
increase (including by way of a recapitalization) the authorized amount of, or
create, issue or authorize any obligation or security convertible into, or
exercisable or exchangeable for, or evidencing a right to purchase, any
Preferred Shares, Parity Shares or Senior Shares, or any preferred shares of any
Subsidiary of the Company, whether any such creation or authorization shall be
by means of amendment of the Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association
(whether by way of a certificate of designations or otherwise) or of this
Certificate of Designations or by merger, consolidation or otherwise or redeem
any Junior Shares or any Senior Shares or Parity Shares that are not outstanding
as of the date hereof other than in accordance with its terms, (ii) to approve
or make any amendment to the terms of the Preferred Shares or the Certificate of
Designations, (iii) for any amendment, alteration, change, repeal or waiver of
any provision of the Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association of the
Company, (iv) for any Change of Control or Liquidation Event, or for any
voluntary bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership other than a Liquidation Event
or to purchase or otherwise acquire, whether in one transaction or a series of
related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of any Person (or
any division thereof) (or agree to do any of the foregoing), or permit any of
its Subsidiaries to do any of the foregoing, (v) to reclassify any authorized
shares of the Company into any Preferred Shares, Parity Shares, Senior Shares,
or any obligation or security convertible into or, exercisable or exchangeable
for, or evidencing a right to purchase any, Preferred Shares, Parity Shares or
Senior Shares, (vi) for any transaction that could or could reasonably be
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect or impair the
rights, privileges or preferences of the Holders of the Preferred Shares in such
capacity, (vii) to create, incur, assume, guarantee, suffer to exist or
otherwise become or remain

<PAGE>
                                                                               6

liable with respect to any Indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 in aggregate,
or (viii) enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or understanding with
respect to any of the foregoing.

     Section 5. Mandatory Conversion. On the ninth anniversary of the Issue Date
(the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), in accordance with and subject to applicable
law, each of the Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into 150
Ordinary Shares, as adjusted pursuant to Section 7 and Section 8 (the
"Conversion Amount"), with any resulting fractional Ordinary Shares to be
settled in accordance with Section 13 (a "Mandatory Conversion").

     (b) On and after the Mandatory Conversion Date, dividends will cease to
accrue on the Preferred Shares and all rights of Holders will terminate except
for the right to receive the number of whole Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion thereof at the Conversion Amount then in effect and cash in lieu of
any fractional Ordinary Shares, settled in accordance with Section 18.

     Section 6. Conversion at the Option of the Holder. Each Preferred Share is
convertible, in whole or in part, at any time and form time to time, at the
option of the Holder thereof ("Optional Conversion"), and in accordance with and
subject to applicable law and this Certificate of Designations, into the number
of whole Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Amount then in effect, with any
resulting fractional Ordinary Shares to be settled in accordance with Section
13.

     (b) The conversion right of a Holder shall be exercised by the Holder of
Preferred Shares by the surrender to the Company of the certificates
representing the Preferred Shares to be converted at any time during usual
business hours at its principal place of business or the offices of the Transfer
Agent, accompanied by written notice to the Company that the Holder elects to
convert all or a portion of the Preferred Shares represented by such certificate
and specifying the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or
certificates representing Ordinary Shares are to be issued and (if so required
by the Company or the Transfer Agent) by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company or the Transfer Agent
duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized legal representative and such
documentation necessary to give effect to the transfer under applicable law. The
date on which a Holder satisfies the foregoing requirements for conversion is
referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." Immediately prior to the close of
business on the Conversion Date, each converting Holder shall be deemed to be
the holder of record of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of such
Holder's Preferred Shares notwithstanding that the share register of the Company
may then be closed or that certificates representing such Ordinary Shares shall
not then be actually delivered to such Holder. On the Conversion Date all rights
with respect to the Preferred Shares so converted, including the rights, if any,
to receive notices, will terminate, except the rights of Holders thereof to (i)
receive certificates representing the number of whole Ordinary Shares into which
such Preferred Shares have been converted and cash, in lieu of any fractional
Ordinary Shares, in accordance with Section 13 hereof and (ii) exercise the
rights to which they are entitled as holders of Ordinary Shares.

                                                                               7

     (c) The Company may, in accordance with and subject to applicable law and
the Company's Articles of Association, give effect to any conversion of
Preferred Shares contemplated by this Certificate of Designations by such of the
methods (or a combination thereof) described in Section 6(d) as the Board of
Directors (or any committee thereof) may in its discretion determine, provided
that any transaction pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) considered a redemption for
Cayman Islands law purposes shall be effected in a manner such that it is
considered a conversion, rather than a redemption, for United States securities
law purposes. For the purposes of Section 6(d)(i), the value due to a holder in
respect of a Preferred Share surrendered by the holder in respect of any
mandatory redemption of such Preferred Share in connection with a related
conversion into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 6(d)(i)(a) shall be such
amount as shall be required in order to subscribe the relevant number of
Ordinary Shares due to such holder in respect of such conversion.

     (d) The Board of Directors or any committee thereof may in its discretion
determine to give effect to any conversion of Preferred Shares contemplated in
this Certificate of Designations by either of the following methods as it may
determine are appropriate (or a combination thereof):

          (i) by redeeming mandatorily the converting Preferred Shares and in
consideration therefor issuing fully-paid Ordinary Shares in the relevant number
calculated by reference to the relevant provisions specified in the Certificate
of Designations to the holder whose Preferred Shares are being redeemed
(including without limitation (a) by way of the automatic application of any
value otherwise due to the holder of Preferred Shares in respect of the
mandatory redemption of the Preferred Shares towards the payment up of the
relevant amount of Ordinary Shares or (b) subject to shareholder resolution, by
declaring a capitalisation issue of fully paid up Ordinary Shares in the
relevant amounts in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association);
and/or

          (ii) provided that the total nominal par value of the Preferred Shares
being converted is equal to the total nominal par value of the Ordinary Shares
into which they convert, by re-designating Preferred Shares as Ordinary Shares
and upon such redesignation, each such Preferred Share to be converted shall be
re-designated as an Ordinary Share of that class into which it is converted with
the rights, privileges, terms and obligations of such class and the converted
Ordinary Share shall thenceforth form part of the class of Ordinary Shares into
which it was converted for all purposes hereof).

     In all such cases the form, manner, timing and execution of the conversion
shall, subject to the provisions set out in this Certificate of Designations,
occur in such ways as are determined by the Board of Directors or any committee
thereof.

     Section 7. Adjustments in Respect of Indemnification. In case of any final
determination that any Holder of the Preferred Shares or any of its affiliates,
member, partners, directors, shareholders and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisers and representatives are entitled to
indemnification from the Company for Losses pursuant to Article IX of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2006 (the "Acquisition

<PAGE>
                                                                               8

Agreement"), by and among the Company, MassMutual Capital Partners LLC and SRGL
Acquisition, LLC, other than in respect of any out-of-pocket fees and expenses
(which, pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, shall be reimbursed
in cash), the Conversion Amount shall be increased to account for all such
Losses (as determined in accordance with and subject to the limitations in the
Acquisition Agreement) to a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient of
the initial aggregate Stated Value of the Preferred Shares (i.e., $600,000,000)
divided by the Adjusted Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company shall not effect and shall have no obligation to effect
any conversion of Preferred Shares, and no holder of Preferred Shares shall have
the right to convert any Preferred Shares, to the extent that after giving
effect to such conversion, the Company would be required to apply "push-down
accounting" under then current GAAP or securities laws, including the rules and
regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. For purposes
of this Section 7, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a
holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (1)
the Company's most recent Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or other public filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public
announcement by the Company, or (3) any other notice by the Company or its
transfer agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the
written request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later
than three Business Days following the receipt of such notice, confirm in
writing to any such holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In
any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after
giving effect to conversions of Preferred Shares by such holder and its
affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares
was reported.

     For purposes of this Section 7, the "Adjusted Conversion Price" shall mean
a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the excess of (x) the product of (1)
the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of
the Issue Date, but excluding the Ordinary Shares into which the Preferred
Shares are then convertible, multiplied by (2) $4.00, over (y) the dollar amount
of all such diminutions in the value of, or other losses to, the Company
resulting in, or giving rise to, all such Losses (as determined in accordance
with and subject to the limitations in the Acquisition Agreement), and (B) the
denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on a
fully diluted basis as of the Issue Date, but excluding the Ordinary Shares into
which the Preferred Shares are then convertible.

     Section 8. Anti-dilution Adjustments. In case outstanding Ordinary Shares
shall be subdivided, split recapitalized, reclassified or otherwise
re-constituted (by way of stock split, stock dividend or otherwise to the extent
not received by holders of Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 2(b)) into a
greater number of Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Amount in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision,
split, recapitalization, reclassification or other reconstitution becomes
effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case
outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be combined, recapitalized, reclassified or
otherwise re-constituted (by way of a combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Amount in
effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
combination, recapitalization, reclassification or other reconstitution becomes
effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the
case may be, to become effective

<PAGE>
                                                                               9

immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon
which such subdivision, split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination
or other reconstitution becomes effective. If any event occurs of the type
contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for
by such provisions then the Board of Directors will make an appropriate
adjustment in the Conversion Amount so as to protect the rights of the holders
of the Preferred Shares.

     (b) Shareholder Rights Plans. Any shareholder rights plan adopted by the
Company shall provide that upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, to the
extent that the Holders receive Ordinary Shares, such Holders shall receive, in
addition to the whole Ordinary Shares and any cash for fractional Ordinary
Shares in accordance with Section 13, if any, the rights issued under such
shareholder rights plan the Company may establish, whether or not such rights
are separated from the Ordinary Shares prior to conversion.

     (c) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Amount is adjusted in
accordance with Section 7 or this Section 8, the Company shall (i) compute the
Conversion Amount in accordance with Section 7 or this Section 8 and prepare and
transmit to the Transfer Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the
Conversion Amount, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and
the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based,
which certificate shall be certified by the independent public accountants
regularly employed by the Company (and corrected, if such accountants determine
that the Company's certification is incorrect), and a copy of such certificates
mailed to each Holder of record of then outstanding Preferred Shares and filed
with the Company's Transfer Agent and (ii) as soon as practicable after the
occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Amount
pursuant to Section 7 or this Section 8 (or if the Company is not aware of such
occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), the Company or, at
the request and expense of the Company, the Transfer Agent shall provide a
written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event and a statement
setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustment to the
Conversion Amount was determined and setting forth the adjusted Conversion
Amount. The Company will give written notice to each Holder of Preferred Shares
at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes
its books or takes a record (1) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the Ordinary Shares, (2) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to
holders of Ordinary Shares or (3) for determining rights to vote with respect to
any Change of Control. The Company will also give written notice to each Holder
of Preferred Shares upon the later of (x) ten (10) Business Days prior to the
date on which any Change of Control or Liquidation Event will take place, or (y)
the date upon which the Company becomes aware that such Change of Control or
Liquidation Event will take place.

                                                                              10

     Section 9. Notices. When the Company is required, pursuant to this
Certificate of Designations, to give notice to Holders without specifying the
method of giving such notice, the Company shall do so by sending notice via
first class mail or by overnight courier to the Holders of record as of a
reasonably current date selected by the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion.

     Section 10. Form. The Preferred Shares shall be issued in definitive, fully
registered form with, until such time as otherwise determined by the Company and
the Transfer Agent, the restricted share legend (the "Restricted Share Legend"),
as set forth on the form of Preferred Share Certificate attached hereto as
Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of the
terms of the Preferred Shares. Such certificated shares shall be registered in
the name or names of the Person or Persons specified by the Company in a written
instrument to the Transfer Agent.

     (b) Each Preferred Share Certificate may have notations, legends or

Transfer Agent, at the direction of the Company, shall countersign and deliver
Preferred Shares that do not bear the Restricted Share Legend.

transfer, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may

     Section 13. Fractional Shares. No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be

Ordinary Share that would otherwise be issuable in respect of the aggregate
number of Preferred Shares surrendered by a Holder upon a conversion or issuable
to a Holder in respect of a share dividend payment made in Ordinary Shares, such

<PAGE>
                                                                              18

the Preferred Shares, such number of Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time
be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares then
outstanding; provided that the number of Ordinary Shares so reserved shall at no
time be less than 130% of the number of Ordinary Shares for which the Preferred
Shares are at any time convertible (without regard to any limitations on
conversions). The initial number of Ordinary Shares reserved for conversions of
the Preferred Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall
be allocated pro rata among the Holders of the Preferred Shares based on the
number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the
Preferred Shares or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may
be. In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's
Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the
number of reserved Ordinary Shares reserved for such transferor. Any Ordinary
Shares reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred
Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata
based on the number of Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.

     (b) The Company covenants that any Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion
of the Preferred Shares or issued in respect of a share dividend payment shall
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     (c) The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Ordinary Shares or
other securities or property upon conversion of the Preferred Shares pursuant
hereto.

     (d) The Preferred Shares are perpetual and not redeemable, other than as
set forth in this Certificate of Designations.

     (e) Whenever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in a
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining
provisions hereof. If a court of competent jurisdiction should determine that a
provision hereof would be valid or enforceable if a period of time were extended
or shortened or a particular percentage were increased or decreased, then such
court may make such change as shall be necessary to render the provision in
question effective and valid under applicable law.

     (f) Preferred Shares may be issued in fractions of a share which shall
entitle the Holder, in proportion to such Holder's fractional shares, to
exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and have
the benefit of all other rights of Holders of Preferred Shares.

     (g) The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions
hereof.

                                                                              19

     (h) If any of the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional and other special rights of the Preferred Shares and qualifications,
limitations and restrictions thereof set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or
incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all
other voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other
special rights of Preferred Shares and qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof set forth herein which can be given effect without the
invalid, unlawful or unenforceable voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights of Preferred Shares and
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof shall, nevertheless, remain
in full force and effect, and no voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of Preferred Shares and
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof herein set forth shall be
deemed dependent upon any other such voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of Preferred Shares and
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof unless so expressed herein.

     (i) Preferred Shares that have been issued and reacquired in any manner,
including Preferred Shares purchased or converted, shall (upon compliance with
any applicable provisions of the laws of the Cayman Islands) be cancelled and
have the status of authorized but unissued preferred shares of the Company
undesignated as to series and may be designated or redesignated and issued or
reissued, as the case may be, as part of any series of preferred shares of the
Company, provided that any issuance of such preferred shares must be in
compliance with the terms hereof.

     (j) If any of the Preferred Share Certificates shall be mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, in exchange and in substitution
for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Preferred Share Certificate, or in
lieu of and substitution for the Preferred Share certificate lost, stolen or
destroyed, a new Preferred Share Certificate of like tenor and representing an
equivalent amount of Preferred Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence of such
loss, theft or destruction of such Preferred Share Certificate and indemnity, if
requested, satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent.

     (k) The Company shall not, by amendment of its Memorandum of Association or
Articles of Association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of the Preferred Shares set forth herein, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all terms and in the taking of all
action that may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
the Holders of then outstanding Preferred Shares against dilution or other
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i)
shall not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable on the
conversion of Preferred Shares above the amount payable therefor on such
conversion and (ii) shall take all action that may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares on the conversion of all Preferred Shares from time to time
outstanding.

                                                                              20

     (l) The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this
Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be
deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any
failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of
Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder of Preferred Shares that
there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as
expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect
to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the
amounts to be received by the holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly
provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the
performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders of the
Preferred Shares and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be
inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach
or threatened breach, the Holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or
other security being required.

     (m) No failure or delay on the part of a Holder of Preferred Shares in the
exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege.
