Your date of commencement of continuous employment is 1 May, 1999.



| | 2. | Job title

Your job title is: Senior Vice President of Operations and Customer Care, reporting in the first instance to: CEO Europe. However, this is a
rapidly growing and changing company, and it is expected that you are flexible in your approach to work. The nature of your employment is such that you may be required to perform other duties outside the normal scope of your job function and you
must comply with all reasonable instructions and perform such duties as your Manager directs. Global Crossing may require you to perform such duties on either a temporary or permanent basis for any other company in the Group or for any other third

You will be located at Centennium House, 100 Lower Thames Street, London, EC2R 6DL.



You may be required on either a permanent or temporary basis to perform you duties at such other location(s), as Global
Crossing requires from time to time. If Global Crossing should ask you to transfer to another country, the UK would be regarded as your home location and any such transfer would be subject to your agreement at the time. You will be advised of any
appropriate changes to your terms and conditions of employment at the time any transfer is agreed.

outstanding salary or other payment due to you.

Your normal working week will be 40 hours excluding one hour for a lunch break each day. Your hours of work will be 9am until 6pm Monday to Friday.

outside of normal working hours for which no additional payment will be made.



You are not obliged to work more than the maximum average weekly hours specified in the Working Time Regulations 1998 (the 1998 Regulations) after taking full account of the calculation method and all
other relevant provisions and delegations contained in the 1998 Regulation, unless you have agreed to opt out of the maximum working week by signing an Opt Out Agreement having understood the effect of signing such a document. Further procedures
