                     In the event such dispute cannot be settled, Impsat and
                     360americas shall promptly execute and deliver a Payment
                     Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E
                     attached hereto (the "Payment Escrow Agreement"), with such
                     changes as the Payment Escrow Agent may reasonably request,
                     and 360americas will have the right to withhold payment of
                     the disputed amount(s) so long as it deposits, in full,
                     such disputed amount into the Dispute Account created
                     pursuant to the Payment Escrow Agreement (the "Dispute
                     Account").

              B.     Provided such disputed amount is placed into the Dispute
                     Account in a timely manner and 360americas has acted in
                     good faith, 360americas shall not be deemed to be in breach
                     of or in default for failing to pay Impsat.

              C.     The Payment Escrow Agent will distribute the disputed
                     amount in accordance with the terms of the Payment Escrow
                     Agreement.

              D.     In addition, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
                     receive from the Dispute Account an amount equal to the
                     interest earned by the Payment Escrow Agent on the
                     distributed, disputed amount, which shall be distributed by
                     the Payment Escrow Agent under clause (C) above. Impsat and
                     360americas will equally share the costs and expenses of
                     the Payment Escrow Agent.

              E.     360americas shall make timely payments for that portion of
                     any payments owed hereunder or such amount will accrue
                     interest as set forth in Section 3.04 above.

       3.06   Indirect Taxes. The Capacity Fee, the Ancillary Services Fee, the
Capacity Maintenance Fee and any other amounts due from and payable by
360americas under this Agreement are exclusive of any Indirect Taxes. Impsat
shall be entitled to include on any invoice, and 360americas shall pay, any
Indirect Tax lawfully imposed on any transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
The Fees set forth in this Agreement do not include ICMS, and each invoice to
360americas must separately state ICMS.

       3.07   Income Taxes. Each party shall be responsible for its own Income
Taxes. Except as set forth in this Section 3.07, all payments made by
360americas hereunder shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or
on account of any Income Taxes, except where required by law. If 360americas is
required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment due
hereunder to Impsat, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the gross amount payable by 360americas shall be increased so
that, after any such deduction or withholding for Income Taxes, the net amount
received by Impsat will not be less than Impsat would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been required. This 'grossing-up' provision shall not
apply (i) to the extent the deduction or withholding merely constitutes a
prepayment of Impsat's income tax liability or (ii) to the extent such
withholding results from an assignment by Impsat to a foreign Affiliate of
Impsat.

                     confidential or proprietary information to the other party
                     that is identified as proprietary or confidential or is
                     clearly of such a nature ("Proprietary Information"), such

                     the receiving party shall afford such Proprietary
                     Information the same care and protection as it affords
                     generally to its own confidential and proprietary
                     information (which in any case shall be not less than
                     reasonable care) in order to avoid disclosure to or

                     purpose, and such written Proprietary Information,
                     including all copies thereof, shall be returned to the
                     disclosing party or destroyed after the receiving party's
                     need for it has expired or upon the request of the
                     disclosing party. Proprietary Information shall not be
                     reproduced except to the extent necessary to

restriction from a third party without an obligation to keep confidential such
Proprietary Information; or (d) becomes relevant to the settlement of any

protective measures shall be taken to preserve the confidentiality of such
Proprietary Information as fully as possible within the confines of such
settlement or enforcement process. If any Proprietary Information is required to
be disclosed pursuant to the foregoing clause (b), the party required to make
such disclosure shall promptly inform the other party of the requirements of
such disclosure.

clauses (a) and (b) above.

       11.03  Events of Default by Impsat. The happening of any one or more of

                     any jurisdiction, or if there is commenced against the
                     other party any such proceeding which has not been
                     dismissed 120 days after commencement.

       11.04  Remedies of 360americas Upon Impsat Event of Default. Subject to
the limitations of Article 9, upon an Impsat Event of Default, 360americas may
(a) upon 10 days written notice specifying the intention to terminate this
Agreement, terminate this Agreement in its entirety and/or (b) pursue the
specific remedies it may have under this Agreement or applicable law; provided,
however, that in the event any Segment is not completed and not available to be
accepted by 360americas on or before the Estimated Delivery Date with respect to
such Segment, the sole remedy of 360americas under this Agreement shall be the
right to terminate this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                                   TERMINATION

              This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof and,
unless earlier terminated pursuant to Article 11 above, shall terminate on the
date when all the Terms of the Segments shall have expired or terminated. Upon
the expiration of the Term with respect to any Segment or other termination of
this Agreement, the granting of the Capacity Rights with respect to such Segment
shall immediately terminate and all rights of 360americas to use the Impsat
System, the Associated Services or any part thereof relating to such Segment,
shall cease and Impsat shall have no further obligations to 360americas with
respect to such Segment. Promptly thereupon, 360americas shall remove all of
360americas' electronics, equipment, and other 360americas property from such
Segment and any related Impsat facilities at 360americas' sole cost, under
Impsat's supervision. 360americas shall repair such Segment to its original
condition before the installation of such equipment and property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination or expiration of this Agreement
shall affect the rights or obligations of any party hereto (a) with respect to
any then existing defaults or the obligation to make any payment hereunder for
services rendered prior to the date of termination or expiration, and (b) with
respect to those provisions of this Agreement that are expressly provided in
this Agreement to survive such termination.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                                  FORCE MAJEURE

              Neither party shall be in default under this Agreement if and to
the extent that any failure or delay in such party's performance of one or more
of its obligations hereunder is caused by any of the following conditions, and
such party's performance of one or more of its obligations shall be excused and
extended for and during the period of any such delay: act of

                                       14

God; weather; fire; material failures, shortages or unavailability or other
delay in delivery (except for fiber or fiber cable) not resulting from the
responsible party's failure to timely place orders therefor; lack of or delay in
transportation; government or quasi-governmental codes, ordinances, laws, rules,
regulations or restrictions; war or civil disorder; strikes or other labor
disputes; permitting delays beyond the reasonable control of such party; or any
other cause beyond the reasonable control of such party. The party claiming
relief under this Article 15 shall notify the other in writing as soon as
reasonably practicable after the force majeure event, but in any event, no later
than thirty (30) days, of the existence of the event relied on and promptly of
the cessation or termination of said event, and the party claiming relief shall
exercise reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the time of any such delay.
The unavailability or shortages of, or delays in delivery of, fiber, cable or
other materials, standing alone, shall not constitute a force majeure event. As
of the Effective Date of this Agreement, neither party is aware of any force
majeure event.

                                   ARTICLE 14
                                   ASSIGNMENT

       14.01  Assignment by Impsat. Except as provided in this Section 14.01 and
14.02, Impsat shall not assign, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement or
all or any portion of its rights or obligations hereunder to any other party
without the prior written consent of 360americas (which consent may be withheld
in 360americas' sole discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to
the provisions of this Article 14, Impsat shall have the right, without
360americas' consent, to (a) subcontract any of its construction, maintenance or
testing obligations hereunder, or (b) assign or otherwise transfer this
Agreement in whole or in part (1) to any Affiliate of Impsat or (2) to any
corporation or other entity into which Impsat and its Affiliates may be merged
or consolidated or which purchases all or substantially all of the stock or
assets of Impsat and its Affiliates; provided that the assignee or transferee in
any such circumstance shall continue to be subject to all of the provisions of
this Agreement, including without limitation, this Section 14.01. Promptly
following any such permitted assignment or transfer, Impsat shall give
360americas written notice identifying the assignee or transferee. In the event
of any permitted partial assignment of any rights hereunder, Impsat shall remain
the sole point of contact with 360americas. No permitted partial or complete
assignment shall release or discharge Impsat from its duties and obligations
hereunder.

       14.02  Assignment by 360americas. Except as provided below, 360americas
shall not assign, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement or all or any
portion of its rights or obligations hereunder to any other party without the
prior written consent of Impsat (which consent, prior to payment of the Total
Fee hereunder, may be withheld in Impsat's sole discretion, and after such
payment, may not be unreasonably withheld). 360americas shall have the right,
without Impsat's consent, to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement (1) in
whole or in part, as collateral to any institutional lender to 360americas (or
institutional lender to any permitted transferee or assignee of 360americas
subject to the prior rights and obligations of the parties hereunder), (2) in
whole or in part, to any Affiliate of 360americas, (3) in whole but not in part,
to any other corporation or other entity into which 360americas and its
Affiliates may be merged or consolidated or which purchases all or substantially
all of the stock or assets of 360americas and its Affiliates; provided, however,
that the assignee or transferee in any such circumstance shall continue to be
subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement (except that

                                       15
<PAGE>   19

any lender referred to in clause (1) above shall not incur any obligations under
this Agreement, nor shall it be restricted from exercising any right of
enforcement or foreclosure with respect to any related security interest or
lien, so long as the purchaser in foreclosure is subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 14.02. Promptly
following any such assignment or transfer, 360americas shall give Impsat written
notice identifying the assignee or transferee. In the event of any permitted
partial assignment of any rights hereunder, 360americas shall remain the sole
party and point of contact with Impsat hereunder. No permitted partial or
complete assignment shall release or discharge 360americas from its duties and
obligations hereunder. Impsat acknowledges and agrees that 360americas intends
to collaterally assign its interest in this Agreement to its institutional
lenders.

       14.03  Binding Effect. This Agreement and each of the parties' respective
rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and each of their respective
permitted successors and assigns.

       14.04  No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided in this
Article 14, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to give any person other
than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right under or with
respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.
