Pursuant to the Master Investment Agreement, Grupo Lakas made an investment of U.S.$700,000,000 (the “Investment”) in Holding by issuing to Holding a promissory note, in the original principal amount of U.S.$700,000,000 (the “Note”). The obligations of Grupo Lakas under the Note are secured by bearer peat certificates (the “Peat Certificates”) representing the right to obtain peat, a pre-coal stage organic material used as energy or for horticultural use, and having an estimated value of U.S.$900,000,000. The Peat Certificates were issued by Panama Peat and pledged to Holding by Grupo Lakas. In consideration for making the investment in Holding, Holding has issued to Grupo Lakas Class D preferred shares (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock will pay (i) a dividend at an annual rate of 3.43% (U.S.$24,000,000) per annum, which will accrue and be payable on the last day of June and December in each year, commencing on June 30, 2006; and (ii) an additional dividend equal to 12% of the gross premium written by Strategy Insurance Limited (“SIL”), a subsidiary of Holding, above U.S.$200,000,000, provided that such additional dividend will not exceed U.S.$60,000,000 in any year. As additional consideration for the Investment, Strategy has issued a warrant to Grupo Lakas for the purchase of shares of the common stock of Strategy pursuant to the terms of a warrant agreement between Strategy and Grupo Lakas (the “Warrant”). Grupo Lakas may exercise the Warrant at any time after the date on which Strategy shall have effected an increase of its authorized shares of common stock by at least 6,950,000, to provide for an authorized number of shares adequate to issue up to 6,944,009 of voting, fully paid and nonassessed shares of the common stock of Strategy, until 5:00 p.m., E.S.T. on the second anniversary of the date of such increase. Any such shares which Grupo Lakas acquires will be subject to the terms of a registration rights agreement between Strategy and Grupo Lakas.

3.5 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. Upon the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 and in consideration of the agreements of the Shareholder contained herein and as an inducement to the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement the Company shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, and each person who participates as an underwriter or a placement or sales agent in any offering or sale of such Registrable Securities, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any such Holder, underwriter or agent may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such Holder, underwriter or agent, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company shall, and hereby agrees to, reimburse any such Holder, underwriter and agent for any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, or preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such person expressly for use therein; and provided further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Holder, underwriter or placement or sales agent under the indemnity agreement in this subsection (a) with respect to any preliminary prospectus to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such underwriter or agent results from the fact that such underwriter or agent sold Registrable Securities to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the related final prospectus if the Company has previously furnished such final prospectus to such underwriter or agent and such prospectus corrects the statement or omission, or alleged statement or omission, out of which such loss, claim, damage or liability arises.

6

(b) Indemnification by the Holders and Agents. The Shareholder, jointly and severally with any Holders requesting the inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration statement, and from each underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement, severally and not jointly as between such underwriters and the Holders, hereby covenants and agrees to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and all other shareholders, if any, selling under the same registration statement, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other shareholders may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to the Holders, underwriter or agent, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holders or underwriter expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection 3.5(a) or (b) above of written notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 3.5, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party other than under the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by Section 3.5(a) or 3.5(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who may be counsel to the indemnifying party unless representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between them), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. So long as an indemnifying party is complying with its obligations under this Section 3.5, such indemnifying party shall not be liable for settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

7

(d) Contribution. Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 3.5(a) or Section 3.5(b) hereof are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless as indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders or any underwriters or agents or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 3.5(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations in this Section 3.5(d) to contribute shall be joint and several and, as between the Holders and any underwriters, their obligations in this Section 3.5(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the number or amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 3.5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and partner of any Holder, underwriter or agent and each person, if any, who controls any Holder, underwriter or agent within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Holders and any underwriters contemplated by this Section 3.5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Holders or underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in any registration statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(f) The indemnification of underwriters provided for in this Section 3.5 shall be on such other terms and conditions as are at the time customary for a public offering in the United States, and reasonably required by such underwriters, in which event the indemnification of the Holders selling Registrable Securities in such public offering shall at their request be modified to conform to such terms and conditions.

8

3.6 Exchange Act Filings; Rule 144; Rule 144A.

(a) The Company covenants to and with the Shareholder that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including, but not limited to, the reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the SEC under the Securities Act) and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of the Shareholder, the Company shall deliver to such Shareholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

(b) If at any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company agrees, upon the request of any Holder seeking to transfer securities in conformity with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to furnish to such Holder or prospective purchasers of the securities from such Holder the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4)(i) under the Securities Act in the manner and at the times contemplated by such Rule.

The Grantor and each Issuer further covenants and agrees to ensure that the aggregate value of the Collateral, the Required Value, determined in accordance with the Valuation Method.

Section 5. The Grantor and each Issuer shall perform any and all steps reasonably requested by the Company to ensure (x) the attachment, perfection and priority of, and to maintain and protect, the Company’s security interests in and liens on and against the Collateral granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Company to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and to ensure that the Required Value , and (y) that the aggregate value of the Collateral shall be at least the Required Value, including, without limitation:

The Grantor agrees that neither the Company, nor any of its designees or attorneys-in-fact, will be liable for any act of commission or omission, or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law with respect to the exercise of the power of attorney granted under this Section 7, other than as a result of its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
SECURITY AGREEMENT

Section 9. Company’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Company hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession (subject to the right to exercise the Conversion Right), the Company shall not have any duty as to the Collateral. The Company shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Company accords its own property, it being understood that the Company shall be under no obligation to take any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral, but may do so at its option, and all reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be for the sole account of the Grantor and shall be added to the Liabilities. The Grantor bears all risk of loss or damage of any of the Collateral, except to the extent such loss or damage shall arise solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company.
 
Section 10. Events of Default; Remedies.
 
(A) Events of Default: Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:

(a) The occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Master Investment Agreement and/or the Note; or

(b) The failure by Grantor or any Issuer to perform or observe any covenant or agreement herein which is not cured within ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof to the Grantor or such Issuer; or

(c) Any representation or warranty of Grantor or any Issuer contained herein or in any certificate, report, opinion or notice delivered or to be delivered by Grantor or the Issuers pursuant hereto shall be or become incorrect or misleading in any material respect.

(B) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Agreement, the Note, and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Liabilities, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code applies to the affected Collateral). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Grantor and the Issuers expressly agrees that in any such event the Company, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law), may realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and may transfer any of the Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the proceeds therefrom and hold the same as security for the Liabilities or apply to same thereto.
 
(C) The Company shall apply the net proceeds of any realization or sale to the Liabilities, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Company of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Company account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor and the Issuers waive all claims, damages, and demands against the Company arising out of the sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by the Company of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Liabilities, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by the Company to collect such deficiency.
 
SECURITY AGREEMENT
-6-

(D) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Grantor and the Issuers hereby waive presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral.
 
(E) The Company shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Liabilities or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Company, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.
 
(F) The Company may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and the Company’s compliance therewith will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
 
(G) Upon the exercise by the Company of any power, right, privilege, or remedy pursuant to this Agreement which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization of any Governmental Authority or any third party, the Grantor and each Issuer agrees to execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, assignments, and other documents and papers that the Company or any purchaser of the Collateral may be required to obtain for such consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization.
 
(H) The rights and remedies provided under this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by applicable law or equity.
 
Section 11. Exercise of Remedies. In connection with the exercise of its remedies pursuant to Section 9, the Company may, but shall have no obligation to: (A) exchange, enforce, waive or release any portion of the Collateral and any other security for the Liabilities; (B) subject to the Note, apply such Collateral or security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Company may, from time to time, determine; and (C) settle, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate any such Collateral or security in any manner following the occurrence of an Event of Default, without affecting or impairing the Company’s right to take any other further action with respect to any Collateral or security or any part thereof. The Grantor waives any right it may have to require the Company to pursue any third person for any of the Liabilities.
 
SECURITY AGREEMENT
-7-

Section 12. Injunctive Relief. The Grantor recognizes that in the event the Grantor or any Issuer fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Company; therefore, the Grantor agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
 
Section 13. Termination of this Security Agreement; Release of Collateral.
 
(A) The security interest granted by the Grantor under this Agreement shall terminate against all the Collateral upon irrevocable payment in full of the outstanding principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Note. Upon such termination (other than as a result of the sale of the Collateral) and at the written request of the Grantor or its successors or assigns, and at the cost and expense of the Grantor or its successors or assigns, the Company shall execute in a timely manner such instruments, documents or agreements as are reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable to terminate the Company’s security interest in the Collateral, subject to any disposition made by the Company pursuant to the Agreement.
 
(B) The Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of the Company and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of the Company, subject to the Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Uniform Commercial Code.
 
Section 14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Grantor and its successors, and upon any assign(s) of the Company in accordance with (and the parties hereto hereby confirm that the Company has the right to assign) the Note, and shall so inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing set forth herein or in the Note is intended or shall be construed to give any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement, the Note or any Collateral.

2.3 Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not for a fractional share) by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at the place provided in Section 2.2 hereof, except that the amount payable by the Holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of whole shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the Exercise Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect.

2.4 Fair Market Value. Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share of Common Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled to upon the exercise of this Warrant.
 
3

3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
 
3.1 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other Person or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof, at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto.
 
3.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense, deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Warrant after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company (a “Trustee”) having its principal office in New York, New York, as trustee for the Holder of the Warrants.

4

4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.

The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise. Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that, without limitation, any reorganization, consolidation, merger or other similar event whereby the holders of Common stock receive the same number of shares of Common Stock as a result thereof as are held thereby immediately prior to such event shall not result in and any adjustment to the Number of Warrant Shares hereunder.
 
5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate (which the Company shall be promptly sent to the Holder) setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
 
6. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will take such actions as shall be required to at all times after the one year anniversary of this Warrant reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.  
 
7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, this Warrant, and the right evidenced hereby, may be transferred by the Holder only to an Affiliate of the Holder. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Holder’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Form”) and together with an opinion of counsel from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, and to the effect that the transfer of this Warrant will be in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense, twice, only, but with payment by the transferor of any applicable transfer taxes, will issue and deliver to or on the order of the transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Form, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor. No such transfers shall result in a public distribution of this Warrant. Any attempted transfer not expressly permitted by this Section 7 shall be null and void ab initio.
 
5

8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, on delivery of an indemnity agreement and / or security reasonably satisfactory in form and substance and amount, as applicable, to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense, twice only, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
 
9. Transfer on the Company's Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company (subject to the limitations set forth herein), the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

The Maker also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note, from the date hereof until paid, at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum, calculated on the basis of a year of 365 day for actual days elapsed. Accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof shall be payable semi-annually, on the last Business Day (as hereinafter defined) of each June and December commencing on June 30, 2006 and on the date on which the principal amount hereof is repaid in full (whether at stated maturity, upon prepayment, upon acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Manner of Payment

All payments under this Note shall be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America at the office of the Payee located at Sagicor Corporate Centre Widley, St. Michael, Barbados W.I. or such other place as the Payee may direct in writing.

If any payment date for payment of either principal or interest is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined) then such payment shall be due on the first Business Day which follows. For purposes hereof, “Business Day” shall mean any day excluding Saturday, Sunday, and any day which is a legal holiday under the laws of New York, or is a day on which banking institutions located in such state are required or authorized by law or other governmental action to close.

Any prepayment of the principal amount hereof, whether in part or in whole, shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being paid.


3. Master Investment Agreement; Security; Conversion and Prepayment.

(a) This Note is made in connection with that certain Master Investment Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2005 (the “Investment Agreement”), among the Maker, the Payee and certain other parties thereto. As collateral security for the full and prompt payment to the Payee of the Maker’s obligations and liabilities under this Note and the Investment Agreement, the Maker is contemporaneously herewith granting to payee a security interest in certain specified collateral, namely, certain Peat Certificates (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement), pursuant to that certain Security Agreement, dated of even date herewith, among the Maker, the Payee and other parties names therein (as the same shall be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement.”)

(b) From time to time the Company (and its assigns) shall have the right, in the sole discretion thereof, to convert (the “Conversion Right”) the Peat Certificates and the underlying peat constituting collateral for this Note to proceeds thereof, such proceeds to be applied as a deemed prepayment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, upon the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the method of valuation to determine the prepayment amount) set forth in the Investment Agreement.

The Maker has the power to execute and deliver and carry out the terms of this Note and has taken all necessary action (including, without limitation, shareholder approval, if necessary) to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Note and the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(c) No Default.

7.1 PPSA has been granted and currently holds mining rights to 24,739,3517 hectares in Bocas del Toro Province, Panama (the “PPSA Hectares”) pursuant to the PPSA Concession, which PPSA Concession has an initial term of 6 years for exploration and 25 years for development, and is renewable upon written request by PPSA or its assignee for three added periods in an aggregate of 20 years.

7.2 The terms of the PPSA Concession require that PPSA’s only obligation to maintain the PPSA Concession is the PPSA make an annual payment to the Republic of Panama in the amount of $10,514.50 plus any royalties that accrue following extraction and shipment of material.

The value of each Peat Certificate delivered hereby is and shall at all times be $50,000,000 (subject only to a sale of underlying peat upon exercise of the Conversion Right.). Each such Peat Certificate provides, by its terms, that if the fair market value of the peat underlying the Peat Certificates drops below $50,000,000 (determined in accordance with the Valuation Method), without any action being required to be taken by the Company or any Issuer or any other Person, the volume of peat evidenced by such Peat Certificate shall automatically be adjusted by such amount so that the value of such Peat Certificate shall be $50,000,000 (stated in the Peat Certificates as a proportional adjustment in volume between the face dollar amount of such peat as stated on such certificate and the fair market value of such volume of peat at presentation of such Peat Certificate.)

7.10 All factual information contained on each of the Peat Certificates is true and correct in all respects, and each signature on each Peat Certificate is genuine.
