                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

                  THIS AGREEMENT, is made as of the 12th day of February, 2000
(the "Agreement"), between Asia Global Crossing Ltd., a Bermuda corporation
("AGC"), and John Legere ("Executive").

                  For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, AGC and Executive hereby agree as
follows:

                  1. EMPLOYMENT.

                  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter contained, AGC
hereby employs Executive and Executive accepts the employment by AGC.

                  (a)      Executive shall perform such duties and exercise such
powers in relation to the business of AGC as may from time to time be assigned
to or vested in him by the Board of Directors of AGC (the "Board") and shall at
all times and in all respects comply with the reasonable directions and
regulations made by the Board. Without limiting the foregoing, at all times
during the Term (as defined below), Executive shall hold the title of Chief
Executive Officer of AGC, shall be the most senior officer of AGC, other than
the Chairman, and shall have those powers and duties normally associated with
the position of Chief Executive Officer and such other powers and duties
consistent with such position as may be prescribed by the Board. Executive shall
be nominated as a member of the Board.

                  (b)      Executive shall faithfully serve AGC to the utmost of
his ability and shall use his best efforts to promote the interests of AGC and
shall devote all of his time and attention during the normal working hours of
AGC (and, for no further remuneration, during such additional hours as shall be
necessary for the proper performance thereof) to the said duties, except insofar
as he has the consent of the Board in writing to do otherwise. The foregoing
shall not preclude Executive from engaging in appropriate civic, charitable or
religious activities or from devoting a reasonable amount of time to private
investments or, subject to Board approval, from serving on the boards of
directors of other entities, as long as none of such activities, investments and
service materially interfere or conflict with Executive's responsibilities to
AGC or compete, directly or indirectly, with AGC or its affiliates.

                  (c)      Executive shall comply with such directives and
manuals as AGC may issue from time to time to its officers and executives.

                  2. TERM.

                  Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8 below, the term of
this Agreement (the "Term") shall be 3 years, commencing on the date on which
Executive commences employment hereunder (the "Commencement Date"), which date
shall be not later than March 6, 2000. Subject to Paragraph 8 below, the Term
and provisions of this Agreement shall automatically extend for additional
one-year periods on and after the third anniversary of the Commencement Date,
unless either party notifies the other in writing at least 6 months prior to the
applicable anniversary date that it, or he, does not want the Term to so extend.
Upon such notice of non-extension, Executive's employment hereunder shall
terminate on the close of business on the day immediately preceding the
applicable anniversary.

                  3. REMUNERATION.

                  (a)      BASE SALARY. AGC agrees to pay and Executive agrees
to accept as compensation for the services rendered by Executive during his
employment hereunder an annualized salary of $500,000 ("Base Salary") less
withholding taxes and other amounts required by applicable laws, to be paid in
semi-monthly installments.

                  (b)      GUARANTEED MINIMUM BONUS AND TARGET ANNUAL BONUS. For
the 2000 and 2001 calendar years, Executive shall receive a guaranteed minimum
annual bonus (the "Guaranteed Minimum Bonus") of $500,000 per year. After 2001,
Executive's target annual bonus ("Target Annual Bonus") shall equal 100% of Base
Salary. The Target Annual Bonus shall be paid in the sole discretion of the
Board or its designee. All payments shall be made, less withholding taxes and
other amounts required by applicable laws. The Board (or its designee) in its
sole discretion may award an annual bonus greater than the Guaranteed Minimum
Bonus or Target Annual Bonus.

                  (c)      AGC STOCK OPTIONS. It is anticipated that AGC will
file an initial public offering ("IPO") in the near future. Subject to approval
by the Board, immediately upon such IPO, Executive shall receive options to
purchase a number of shares of AGC common stock (the "AGC Stock Options") at an
exercise price per share (the "Strike Price") determined as follows:

         The number of shares of AGC common stock covered by the AGC Stock
         Options shall equal 1.75% of the Shares Outstanding; provided that such
         number of shares covered by such AGC Stock Options shall not in any
         event exceed $175 million divided by the IPO Price.

         The Strike Price shall equal the IPO Price; provided that for each $1
         million by which the Market Capitalization exceeds $10 billion, the
         Strike Price shall be reduced by the amount necessary to increase the
         In-The-Money Value by

                                      -2-

<PAGE>   3

         $17,500. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Strike Price shall not be
         subject to further reduction once the In-The-Money Value reaches
         $30,000,000.

For purposes of the foregoing:

         "Shares Outstanding" shall be defined as the total number of shares
         outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise,
         conversion or exchange of options, rights, warrants or other securities
         (collectively, "Rights") exercisable for, convertible into or
         exchangeable for AGC common stock, all determined as of the
         commencement of the IPO and taking into account any stock split,
         dividend or other recapitalization effected or to be effected in
         connection with the IPO; provided that only Rights that represent the
         right to receive a share of AGC common stock for consideration less
         than the IPO Price ("Dilutive Rights") shall be taken into account in
         determining Shares Outstanding; and provided, further, that a Dilutive
         Right shall only be deemed to increase the number of Shares Outstanding
         by an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the number of shares covered
         by such Dilutive Right multiplied by the amount by which the IPO Price
         exceeds the exercise or conversion price of such Dilutive Right divided
         by (ii) the IPO Price.

         "IPO Price" shall be defined as the price per share at which shares of
         AGC's common stock are initially offered on the IPO date.

         "Market Capitalization" shall be defined as the Shares Outstanding
         multiplied by the IPO Price.

         "In-The-Money-Value" shall be defined as the number of shares covered
         by the AGC Stock Options multiplied by the difference between the IPO
         Price and the Strike Price.

                  The options shall vest and become exercisable as follows: 25%
immediately on the date of grant, 25% on the first anniversary of the
Commencement Date, 25% on the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, and
the final 25% on the day preceding the third anniversary of the Commencement
Date. The AGC Options shall become fully vested and exercisable upon a "Change
in Control," as that term shall be defined in the AGC stock option plan. In the
event the outstanding shares of common stock of AGC are changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of AGC or
of another corporation by reason of merger, consolidation ,other reorganization,
reclassification, combination of shares, stock split-up or stock dividend, the
AGC Stock Options and Strike Price shall be adjusted appropriately. The AGC
Stock Options shall be subject to additional terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with this Agreement, as may be determined by the Board; provided,
however, that Executive's prior approval shall be required for any terms and
conditions which materially deviate from the terms and conditions of the Global
Crossing Ltd. 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "GCL Option Plan") and standard
form Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto
as Exhibits "A" and "B" and

                                      -3-

<PAGE>   4

incorporated herein by reference. On or before the IPO, AGC shall take any and
all actions necessary to register with the Securities Exchange Commission the
AGC Stock Options and the shares of AGC common stock issuable to Executive upon
exercise of such options. If, in lieu of the IPO, Global Crossing Ltd. issues a
"tracking stock" (i.e., a special class of stock intended to reflect the
performance of a distinct business unit or group) in respect of the AGC
business, AGC shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to ensure
that Executive shall receive rights in respect of such tracking stock that are
no less favorable than the rights Executive would have received hereunder in
respect of AGC common stock if the IPO had occurred.

                  (d)      CHANGE IN CONTROL OF GCL. In the event that, prior to
the IPO, Global Crossing Ltd. or AGC experiences a "Change in Control" (as
defined, mutatis mutandis with respect to AGC, in the GCL Option Plan) and
either (i) the IPO does not occur during the 365 days immediately following such
Change in Control; or (ii) an IPO occurs during the 365 days immediately
following such Change in Control, but the assets and business included within
AGC at the time of such IPO are substantially different than the assets and
business that, prior to the Change in Control, had been contemplated by Global
Crossing Ltd. to be included within AGC at the time of the IPO; or (iii) prior
to the IPO, Executive is terminated under circumstances constituting a
"Qualifying Termination" (as defined below), then, and in any such event,
Executive shall be entitled to a $70 million payment from the Company. A
"Qualifying Termination" shall mean the termination of Executive's employment
(x) by AGC under circumstances not constituting a Termination for Cause, (y) by
Executive under circumstances constituting a For Cause Event or (z) as a result
of Executive's death or "Disability" (as defined in Paragraph 8(c) below). Such
$70 million payment shall be due and payable on the first business day after (x)
the 365th day following the Change in Control, in the case of clause (i) above,
(y) the date of the IPO, in the case of clause (ii) above, or (z) the date of
the Qualifying Termination, in the case of clause (iii) above. In lieu of cash,
AGC (or its successor) shall have the right to arrange for such $70 million
payment to be made in shares of readily transferable, publicly traded common
stock of Global Crossing Ltd. (or its successor) valued for this purpose by
reference to its closing price on the principal securities exchange or market on
which such common stock is traded on the business day prior to the date on which
such payment becomes due. Upon satisfaction in full of AGC's payment obligation
under this Paragraph 3(d), Executive's right to receive AGC Options pursuant to
this Agreement (including without limitation, Paragraphs 3(c) and 8(g) hereof)
shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect.

                  (e)      LOAN. On or before the Commencement Date, after full
execution of this Agreement by both parties and upon execution of a promissory
note (the "Promissory Note") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and
incorporated herein by reference, AGC shall make a loan to Executive in the
amount of $15 million.

                           (i)      conviction of a felony; or conviction of a
                                    crime of moral turpitude which causes
                                    serious economic injury or serious injury to
                                    AGC's reputation; or

                           (ii)     material breach of the Proprietary
                                    Information Agreement attached hereto as
                                    Exhibit "D" and incorporated herein by
                                    reference; or

                                    misconduct or gross negligence which has
                                    caused serious and demonstrable injury to
                                    AGC or its affiliates; or breach of
                                    Paragraph 7, 10(g) or 10(h) of this
                                    Agreement ; or

                           (iv)     egregious performance or failure to perform
                                    Executive's duties as Chief Executive
                                    Officer; provided that a failure to achieve
                                    performance objectives shall not by itself
                                    constitute grounds for Termination for
                                    Cause.

terminated by AGC at any time and for any (or no) reason, upon the giving of
notice by AGC to Executive of termination other than a Termination for Cause. In
such event, AGC may, in the notice of termination, discharge Executive
immediately or as of such future date, not to exceed one month, as AGC may
determine to be appropriate. In the event that Executive is terminated pursuant
to this subsection, then (i) Executive shall receive his Base Salary and
Guaranteed Minimum Bonus, less withholding taxes and other amounts required by
law, for the remainder of the Term, (ii) any outstanding principal balance on
the Promissory Note shall be forgiven effective as of the Termination Date, and
(iii) the AGC Stock Options shall become immediately vested.

                                    level at which Executive is unable to
                                    perform his duties; or

represents and warrants to AGC that he is not bound by any agreement or
understanding, contractual or otherwise (including but not limited to
restrictions implied in law), that would disallow or conflict in any way with
Executive fulfilling his obligations as expressed in this Agreement, or his
entering into the employment relationship contemplated in this Agreement. AGC
represents that it has obtained all approvals, including Board approvals,
required pursuant to this Agreement and that no other agreements would prevent

                  (h)      NON-SOLICITATION. After the termination or

other remedies at law and equity shall be permitted to enforce the provisions
hereof regarding confidentiality, non-solicitation, the grant of AGC Stock

City, State, Zip Code

In connection with your employment or proposed employment with Asia Global
Crossing, Ltd., (together with its affiliates, successor entities and assigns),
("AGC") you will have access to and may develop proprietary information, client
lists, technical specifications, business plans, financial statements, marketing
and sales plans and other confidential operational information. In consideration
of your continued and/or future employment by AGC and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, you
agree as follows:

1.       Definition of Proprietary Information.

"Proprietary Information" includes, but is not limited to, any information,
know-how, financial information, marketing and sales information, employee
information, management information, client lists, potential client lists,
technical specifications, business plans, sales or programming matter, written
materials, compositions, drawings, diagrams, photographs, works in progress,
visual demonstrations, and other data, whether oral, written, graphic or in
electronic form, pertaining to AGC or its affiliates. Proprietary Information
does not include (i) information which is now or hereafter becomes publicly
known or available through no act or failure on the part of yourself, (ii)
information which is actually known to you at the time of the receipt of such
Proprietary Information, (iii) information which is hereafter furnished to you
by a third party, other than in the course of your employment, (iv) information
which was independently developed or known by you prior to any contact with AGC,
without use or reference to Proprietary Information, and which does not
otherwise contravene the terms of this Agreement, and (v) information which you
choose to disclose relating to your salary and any other compensation or
benefits received by you at AGC.

                                       1

2.       Use of Proprietary Information.

You shall use the Proprietary Information solely in connection with the duties
assigned to you as an employee of AGC.

3.       Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality of Proprietary Information.

You shall at all times keep in strictest confidence and prevent disclosure to
any person, firm, corporation or other entity the Proprietary Information unless
such disclosure is (a) necessary or appropriate as part of the business of the
company or (b) otherwise legally required to be disclosed pursuant to a court
order. You agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any
breach of this Agreement and that AGC would be irreparably harmed by any such
disclosure. Accordingly, AGC shall be entitled to specific performance and
injunctive or equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedy
shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for the breach for this
Agreement.

4.       Return of Proprietary Information.

You agree that, immediately upon termination of your employment with AGC, you
shall return to AGC all Proprietary Information and reproductions of Proprietary
Information in your possession or control. Any Proprietary Information which you
may have retained electronically in your possession or control shall be expunged
or destroyed.


5.       Non-Competition; No Conflict.

You agree that during your employment with AGC and for a 12-month period
thereafter, you will not engage in, directly or indirectly, any employment,
business, or activity that is or may be in any way competitive with the business
or proposed business of AGC or its affiliates at any time during the term of
your employment. You further agree that you shall not enter into any agreement,
either written or oral, which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement or
the terms of your employment at AGC.

         You are expected to avoid any agreement, business investment, or other
activity that creates an actual or potential conflict of interest for you; i.e.,
any situation in which your actions or loyalties are divided between your
personal interests and our interests or between our interests and those of
another. If you are unsure whether a conflict exists, consult the Board of
Directors immediately. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

         (a) Owning, operating, or being employed as an employee or consultant
by any business that competes, directly or indirectly, with AGC or its
affiliates.

                                       2

<PAGE>   14

         (b) Having a direct or indirect financial relationship with a
competitor, customer, or supplier; however, no conflict will exist in the case
of ownership of less than 1 percent of the publicly traded stock of a
corporation.




         When a conflict of interest is found to exist, the conflict may result
in discipline up to and including immediate termination of employment.

6.       Prior Agreements; Successors and Assigns; Severability; Attorney Fees.

The terms of this Agreement supersede all prior agreements, whether written or
oral, between the parties hereto, and shall constitute the entire agreement
between you and AGC with respect to the matters described in this Agreement. The
terms of this Agreement shall be binding on you during the term of your
association with AGC, its successors and/or assigns, and, except for Paragraph
5, the terms of this Agreement shall be binding on you for two years thereafter.
If any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid or prohibited by law,
that provision will be ineffective to the extent of the invalidity or
prohibition, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement. In the event
of legal action relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs.
