 SENIOR UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTE 
  

			
	US$26,330,000	  	June 14, 2011

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, GLOBAL CROSSING LIMITED, an exempted company with limited liability formed under the
laws of Bermuda (the “Company”), promises to pay on December 14, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”) to the order of STT CROSSING LTD or assignee (“Payee”), in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately
available funds, the principal amount of $26,330,000. 
 (1) INTEREST. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note, which shall accrue at 9% per annum from the date hereof through and including the Maturity Date, in arrears on the Maturity Date. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal and interest from time to time on demand at a rate
that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. This Note will be payable as to principal and interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions to be provided by Payee
to the Company. Such payment will be in currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 (3) OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT. The Company shall have the right to prepay, upon 10 days’ prior written notice to the Payee, the principal amount outstanding hereunder in whole (but not in part)
without premium or penalty at any time, provided that the Company shall at the same time pay to the Payee accrued interest on the amount prepaid to and including the date of prepayment. 
 (4) MANDATORY PREPAYMENY UPON CERTAIN EVENTS UNDER AMALGAMATION AGREEMENT. 
 (a) On the date on which all conditions to the closing of the “Amalgamation” (as defined in the Agreement and Plan of Amalgamation, dated April 10, 2011, by and among Level 3
Communications, Inc., Apollo Amalgamation Sub, Ltd. and the Company (the “Amalgamation Agreement”)) have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing, provided that such
conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied at the closing, the Company shall make payment to the Payee in an amount equal to the principal amount hereof plus accrued interest hereon through and including the date of such payment.

 (b) If the Amalgamation Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Company shall make payment to the Payee in an amount equal
to the principal amount hereof plus accrued interest hereon through and including the date of such payment on the date that is 45 days after the termination of the Amalgamation Agreement (or such other earlier or later date prior to the Maturity
Date as the parties may mutually agree, in which case the Company shall make such payment to the Payee on such agreed date). 

 (5) MANDATORY REPAYMENT UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. If a “Change of Control” occurs, the
Company shall promptly, and in any event within four days after such occurrence, make payment to the Payee in an amount equal to the principal amount hereof plus accrued interest hereon through and including the date of such payment. “Change of
Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 
 (a) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition (other than by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; 

(b) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger, amalgamation or consolidation), the result of which is
that any person (including any “person” as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting stock of the Company, measured
by voting power rather than number of shares; or 
 (c) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors of the Company are persons who were neither members of such Board on the date hereof nor nominated for election or elected to such Board with the approval of a majority of Board members on the date hereof. 

Paragraph (4) and this paragraph (5) shall be without prejudice to the Company’s obligation to make payment in accordance with the first
paragraph and paragraph (1), for the avoidance of doubt. 
 (6) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Each of the following shall constitute an
“Event of Default” hereunder: 
 (i) default in the payment when due of the principal of or interest on this Note;

 (ii) default, event or other matter under any mortgage, indenture, agreement or other instrument under which there may be
issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries), whether such indebtedness or
guarantee now exists, or is hereafter created, if that default, event or other matter: (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such indebtedness prior to the expiration of any grace period provided in
such indebtedness or guarantee on the date of such default, event or other matter (a “Payment Default”); or (B) results in the acceleration or requirement for payment of such indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each
case, the principal amount of any such indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or for which payment has been accelerated or required for payment prior to maturity,
aggregates US$40.0 million (or the US Dollar equivalent thereof) or more; 

 (iii) failure by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a
court or courts of competent jurisdiction or competent tribunal or tribunals aggregating US$40.0 million (or the US Dollar equivalent thereof) or more, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after such judgments
have become final and non-appealable; 
 (iv) the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries (which for the purposes of
this paragraph (6) shall mean a significant subsidiary as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, but substituting “5 percent” for “10 percent” each time the latter appears therein or any group of subsidiaries that, taken
together, would constitute a significant subsidiary defined as such) (A) commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect (a “Bankruptcy Law”), (B) consents to
the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary Bankruptcy Law case, (C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, (E) takes any corporate action, legal proceeding or other procedure or step in relation to the adoption of a plan relating to its liquidation, dissolution or voluntary winding up, or (F) generally is not paying its debts as they

 (v) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Company or any of its significant
subsidiaries (as defined above) with respect to it or its debts under any Bankruptcy Law seeking the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or any of its significant
subsidiaries or for any substantial part of the property and assets of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries and such involuntary case or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or an order
for relief is entered against the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries under any Bankruptcy Law; or 
 (vi) the Company
fails to comply with any term of the written consent of the Payee dated April 10, 2011 that was given in connection with the Payee’s approval of the transactions contemplated by the Amalgamation Agreement. 

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the principal amount of this Note plus accrued interest hereon through and including the date of payment
will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. 
 (7) WAIVER OF PRESENTMENT. The Company hereby waives
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. Without prejudice to the foregoing, any notice given by the Payee shall be deemed to be duly given to the Company (i) if given by hand or sent by registered post

time of transmission in legible form. All payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. 

 (8) GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE
THIS NOTE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 
 (9) EXPENSES. The Company shall pay all of the reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Payee, its affiliates and their legal and financial advisors incurred in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery and enforcement of this Note. 
 (10) WITHHOLDING TAXES. All payments hereunder will be made free and clear of and
without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax or other governmental charge (collectively, “Taxes”) assessed by Bermuda or any other jurisdiction from or through which payment on this Note is made or in
which the Company is resident, unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law, in which case the Company will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such
payments, after such deduction or withholding, will not be less than the amounts which would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such deduction or withholding; provided, however, that no such additional amounts will be
payable with respect to: (a) any Taxes that would not have been assessed but for the existence of a connection between the Payee and the relevant taxing jurisdiction (other than the ownership of this Note); or (b) any estate, inheritance,
gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, THE UNDERSIGNED HAS CAUSED THIS INSTRUMENT TO BE DULY EXECUTED AS OF THE

		 		 		 	Title: CFOAmended and Restated Global Crossing Limited Key Management Protection Plan

 Exhibit 10.2 
 Amended and Restated 
 Global Crossing Limited 

Key Management Protection Plan 
 The Amended and Restated Global Crossing Limited Key Management Protection Plan dated December 10, 2005 (the “Existing Plan”) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as provided
below. 
 This Amended and Restated Key Management Protection Plan is intended to assist Global Crossing Limited or its
successor (“Company”) to retain key executives by mitigating their concerns about financial hardship in the event of their involuntary termination without regard to their performance. 

1. Term of Plan. The Existing Plan shall remain in effect until the Amendment Date at which time it shall be amended and restated
as provided herein. 
 2. Eligible Executives. This Plan shall apply to the key executives set forth on Schedule 1 and
any additional executives designated in writing by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event an executive is covered by or eligible for coverage under an individual employment or severance contract or other severance plan or policy, the
severance benefits under this Plan shall be offset by or otherwise reduced so as to eliminate any duplication of severance benefits. As a further clarification and not by way of limitation, executives who are covered by an employment contract or
employed at an international business unit shall participate in this Plan only insofar as the benefits received under an employment contract or a non-U.S. severance program are in the aggregate less than the benefits provided for under this Plan. In
such case, benefits received shall be limited to the greater of benefits under this Plan or those received under the applicable employment contract or non-U.S. severance program. 

3. Definitions. For purposes of this Plan, the following definitions shall apply: 

“Amendment Date” shall mean April 9, 2011. 

“Base Salary” shall mean the higher of a participant’s annual base salary on either the Amendment Date or the
Termination Date. 
 “Bonus” shall mean, with respect to any participant, such participant’s target
annual bonus for any plan period as specified on Schedule 3 hereto (or, if applicable, any increase to such percentage that may be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors from time to time). 

“Cause” (a) shall have the meaning ascribed to such term under an eligible executive’s employment
agreement with the Company, or (b) if there is no such agreement, shall mean the termination of such participant’s employment due to: 

 (i) gross neglect (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due
to physical or mental illness) of the participant’s duties with the Employer which are reasonable and commensurate with the participant’s position and such neglect continues more than 30 days after a written notice of non-performance is
provided to or a written demand for substantial performance is made upon the participant by the Board of Directors; 
 (ii) the willful engaging by a participant in any misconduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Company or any Employer or results in a suspension or other sanction by any governmental or other
regulatory entity; 
 (iii) a material violation by the participant of any written policies of the Company or any
Employer with regards to performance, conduct on the job or integrity (as such policies are in effect on the Amendment Date), which violation is reasonably determined to justify a termination of employment for Cause; or 

(iv) the conviction of a felony or plea of no contest to a felony. 

No action taken or omission by an executive under a reasonable, good faith belief that such action or omission was in the best interests
of the Company and did not result in any material pecuniary benefit to the executive shall constitute willful misconduct for purposes of the definition of Cause. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for eligible executives for whom the definition of Cause is set forth in an employment agreement, no termination for Cause under the Plan will be effective
unless it also satisfies the applicable Cause termination procedural protections under such executive’s employment agreement (i.e., notice requirements and due process rights). 

“COBRA” shall mean the Part 6 of Title I of ERISA. 

“Disability” shall mean the participant’s absence from the full-time performance of the participant’s
duties (as they existed immediately prior to such absence) for a period of time longer than one hundred eighty (180) days within a three hundred sixty-five (365)-day rolling calendar, when the participant is disabled as a result of incapacity
due to physical or mental illness or serious injury. 
 “Employer” shall mean the Company, or any parent,
subsidiary, or affiliate of the Company (as defined pursuant to sections 414(b) or 414(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended) or successor thereto, for which a participant performs services or is employed thereby, as applicable to each
participant. 

  
 2 

 “Good Reason” (a) shall have the meaning ascribed to such term
under an eligible executive’s employment agreement with the Company, or (b) if there is no such agreement, shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events or conditions which is not done with the participant’s written consent
and is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Company receives written notice from the participant setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the participant’s claim of Good Reason: 

(i) any material reduction in the participant’s Base Salary, other than any reduction made pursuant to and consistent
with a broad-based reduction applicable to all similarly situated executives; or 
 (ii) any material diminution
in the participant’s duties or responsibilities, as modified with the participant’s consent. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Good Reason shall not occur unless the participant provides the written notice described above within 90 days of the initial existence of the Good Reason event or condition, and the participant terminates employment within one year of the
initial existence of the Good Reason event or condition. 
 “Retirement” shall mean a termination of
employment by the participant pursuant to late, normal or early retirement under a pension plan sponsored by the Company, as defined in such plan. 
 “Severance Period” shall mean the number of months a participant is entitled to receive severance payments pursuant to Schedule 2 of this Plan. 

“Termination Date” shall mean with respect to any participant the earliest to occur of the date of the
participant’s death or the date the participant separates from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 4. Benefits Upon Termination. Subject to the limitations set forth in succeeding paragraphs, a participant whose employment with the Company and all Employers terminates for any reason (excluding
any termination for Cause or by reason of the participant’s death or Disability, or the participant’s resignation other than for Good Reason) shall be entitled to the following benefits: 

(a) Severance. The participant shall receive a cash severance payment, payable in a lump sum, in an amount equal to the
“applicable earnings” multiplied by the “severance multiplier,” each as set forth in Schedule 2 attached hereto. The lump sum severance payment shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable following the termination of
employment, and in no event shall be paid later than 60 days following termination of employment. 
 (b) Additional
Payments. In addition to the severance payment in (a) above, a participant shall receive payments, which shall be paid in accordance with the 

  
 3 

 
normal payroll practices of the Company not later than 60 days following termination of employment, equal to the following: 

(i) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date, and any unpaid bonus attributable to the year prior
to the Termination Date under the annual incentive plan which had not been paid as of the Termination Date; 

(ii) a pro rata portion, if any, of the annual bonus at the target level that would be payable pursuant to the
annual incentive plan in which the participant participates (calculated through the Termination Date); and 

(iii) an amount, if any, equal to any accrued paid time off in full satisfaction of the participant’s rights thereto.

 (c) Welfare Benefits. The Company and the participant shall continue to make such contributions as were required to be
paid by the Company and the participant immediately prior to the Termination Date for, and the participant and the participant’s eligible dependents shall continue to receive medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage on the same basis
as in effect prior to the Amendment Date or the participant’s Termination Date, whichever is deemed to provide for more substantial benefits, for a period equal to the number of months constituting the Severance Period; provided that if
continued insurance coverage is not possible or would, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, have adverse consequences due to the provisions of the underlying insurance policies or applicable law, then, in lieu of providing any such continued
coverage, the Company may pay to the participant, on a basis no less frequent than monthly, an amount of cash equal to the contributions the Company would have been required to make on the participant’s behalf had the participant remained an
employee of the Employer during the Severance Period. After the Severance Period, the participant and/or his eligible dependents may continue to be covered under the plans of the Employer providing such benefits at the participant’s expense at
the applicable COBRA rate for the applicable COBRA period; provided, however, in the event that the participant commences comparable benefit coverage with a subsequent employer during the Severance Period, such Employer benefit
coverage shall cease. If a participant is not eligible to receive medical, dental, vision or life insurance coverage through his or her Employer immediately preceding the Termination Date, this paragraph shall not be construed as giving the
participant any right to receive these benefits. 
 (d) Outplacement. The Company shall offer the
participant outplacement services at an outplacement provider selected by the Company. The cost of such services shall not exceed 30% of the participant’s Base Salary. The Company-paid outplacement services will not continue beyond the end of
the Severance Period. Generally, the Company will pay the outplacement provider directly for Company-approved outplacement services, but in no event will the Company reimburse a participant for Company-approved outplacement services after the
90th day following the end of the Severance Period.

  
 4 

 (e) Withholding. Payments and benefits provided pursuant to this Section 4 shall
be subject to any applicable payroll and other taxes required to be withheld. 
 (f) No Mitigation. The participant shall
not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to the participant in any
subsequent employment, other than as set forth in Section 4(c). 
 (g) Offset for Other Severance. In the event that
the participant is eligible for severance under any other plan or agreement of the Company or any Employer, then any cash severance amounts payable pursuant to this Plan shall be reduced by the amount of any cash severance payments payable under
such other plan or agreement. Additionally, any award or settlement received in any successful claim against the Company shall be offset by severance payments received under this Plan. 

(h) Requirement for Release. By accepting any payment or benefit provided under this Plan, each participant shall be deemed to have
released and discharged Employer, its subsidiaries, affiliates and shareholders and their successors and assigns, as well as all officers, directors, agents and employees of all of the foregoing (collectively, “Releasees”), from any and
all claims and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, which such participant or such participant’s agents, executors, heirs, or assigns may have at the time of and after giving effect to such participant’s termination of employment,
whether known or unknown. This release includes, but is not limited to, the following: any action or cause of action asserted or which could have been asserted under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, all state statutes related to discrimination, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the Americans With Disabilities Act; claims for wrongful discharge, unjust dismissal, or constructive discharge; claims for breach
of any alleged oral, written or implied contract of employment; claims for salary or severance payments not provided by this Plan; claims for benefits (other than a claim that Employer or Employer’s pension or other retirement plan has failed
to pay the benefits indicated in any benefit projection or benefit statement given to such participant nearest in time to the effective date of his or her termination, provided that the participant shall not be entitled to receive a benefit not
otherwise provided by such pension or other retirement plan); claims for attorney’s fees; and any other claims under any federal, state or local statute, law, rule or regulation related to employment or benefit matters. Without limiting the
effectiveness of the foregoing, each participant’s right to receive any payment or benefit under this Plan is conditioned on such participant executing any instrument reasonably requested by Employer to carry out the intent and purpose of this
Section 4(h). 

  
 5 

 5. Limitations on Benefits. 

(a) No benefits shall be paid to a participant who voluntarily terminates employment without Good Reason or whose employment
terminates because of his or her death or Disability. 
 (b) No benefits shall be paid to a participant whose employment
is terminated for Cause. 
 (c) A participant will not receive benefits under this Plan in the event that the business
unit for which the participant provides services is sold, spun-off, merged or otherwise disposed to a third party, if the participant is offered employment by the successor entity in a similar position; provided, however, nothing in this
subparagraph shall be deemed to limit the participant’s ability to invoke Good Reason with respect to the employment opportunity offered through the successor entity. 
 (d) No benefits shall be paid to a participant whose employment terminates by reason of Retirement. 
 6. Amendment and Termination. This Plan may be amended or terminated by the Company in its sole discretion; provided, however, that no amendment to or termination of this Plan during the period
commencing on the Amendment Date and ending on December 31, 2012 shall apply to any then current participant without such participant’s prior written consent. 
 7. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Plan shall prevent or limit the participant’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program
provided by the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and successors thereto, and for which the participant may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as the Participant may have under any agreements with the Company
or any of the foregoing related entities (although any such severance benefits reduce the severance payable under this Plan). Amounts which are vested benefits or which the participant is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of
the Company or any of the foregoing related entities shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Plan. 
 8. Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. Any
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Plan shall be settled in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

9. Successors and Assigns. This Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and
assigns, and the Company shall require any successor or assign to expressly assume and agree to maintain this Plan and 

  
 6 

 
to perform under this Plan to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform under the Plan if no such succession or assignment had taken place; provided that this Plan shall be
binding upon any such successor or assign regardless of any such express assumption. The term “Company” as used herein shall include such successors and assigns. The terms “successors and assigns” as
used herein shall mean a corporation or other entity acquiring all of the stock or all or substantially all the assets and business of the Company whether by operation of law or otherwise. 

10. Severability. The provisions of this Plan shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. 
 11. Claims for Benefits. All
claims for benefits under this Plan must be submitted to the Employee Benefits Committee of the Company within 60 days following termination of employment. In the event a claim for benefits is denied, the Employee Benefits Committee will provide the
executive with a written notice stating the specific reason or reasons for denial, including specific provisions of the Plan relied upon. The notice will also explain what is necessary to perfect the claim, if possible, and inform the executive that
the denial may be appealed. Such denial may be appealed by written request to the Employee Benefits Committee within a reasonable time. Within 60 days of receiving a request for review of a denied claim, the Employee Benefits Committee shall provide
a written decision to the executive. 
 12. Plan Administration. The Plan is administered by the Employee Benefits
Committee of the Company, which shall have the sole discretion to determine eligibility for benefits and to interpret the Plan and shall possess all powers necessary to administer the Plan. The Employee Benefits Committee may designate in writing
one or more of the Employer’s executives or one or more other persons to carry out its duties under this Plan. The Employee Benefits Committee is the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator as these terms are used in the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 14. Statement of Participant Rights. As a participant in the Plan, you are entitled to certain
rights and protections under ERISA. These rights and protections have been summarized in government regulations, which require that we inform you of them in the following statement: 

Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits 
 ERISA provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled to: 
 Examine, without
charge, at the plan administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites, all Plan documents, including insurance contracts, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Plan with the U.S.
Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Pension and Welfare Benefit Administration. 
 Obtain,
upon written request to the plan administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan, including insurance contracts, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500), if any. The plan administrator may make a reasonable charge
for the copies. 
 Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report. The plan administrator is required by law to
furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report. 
 Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries

 In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are
responsible for the operation of the executive benefit plan. The people who operate your Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and
beneficiaries. No one, including your Employer, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. 

Enforce Your Rights 
 If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any
denial, all within certain time schedules. 
 Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For
instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents or the latest annual report from the 

  
 8 

 
Plan and do not receive them within thirty (30) days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan administrator to provide the materials and pay you
up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a
state or federal court. If you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor or you may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees.
If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous. 

Assistance with Your Questions 
 If you have any questions about this Plan, you should contact the plan administrator. If you have any questions under this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in
obtaining documents from the plan administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Pension and Welfare
Benefits Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Pension
and Welfare Benefits Administration. 
 This Amended and Restated Global Grossing Limited Key Management Protection Plan is
hereby executed in Florham Park, New Jersey as of the ninth day of April, 2011, pursuant to authority granted on such date by the Global Crossing Limited Board of Directors.
