2. Put Option.
(a) From and after the date hereof until the first (1st) anniversary of
the date of the Original Put Agreement (the "Expiration Date"), UBS shall have
the right from time to time, upon written notice thereof, specifying the Tutopia
Shares to be put (the "UBS Put Notice"), to put to the Company all or any
portion of its Tutopia Shares (the "Put Option") at a price per share equal to

(b) Within ten (10) days after each receipt of a UBS Put Notice, the
Company shall promptly make an offer to all other holders of Tutopia Shares
(other than Latin Guide, Inc.) who are parties to the Tutopia Stockholders
Agreement, by written notice thereof, to purchase a Pro Rata Portion of the
Tutopia Shares held by each such holder thereof at a price per share equal to
the Exchange Ratio and on the other terms and conditions set forth herein. UBS
and all such other holders of Tutopia Shares who deliver a put notice
(collectively with the UBS Put Notice, the "Put Notices") to the Company within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of a notice from the Company pursuant to this
Section 2(b), shall be considered to have exercised the Put Option
simultaneously as of the date the Company received the UBS Put Notice for
purposes of this Agreement.
(c) Within thirty (30) days following the date of a UBS Put Notice, the
Company shall purchase or cause one or more of its subsidiaries to purchase and
each Seller (as defined below) shall sell to the Company the Tutopia Shares put
pursuant to the Put Notices (subject to the Sellers' complying with any rights
of first refusal or other restrictions on transfer of such Tutopia Shares).
(d) At the closing of a purchase of Tutopia Shares pursuant this Agreement

owned by such Seller to be sold to the Company, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances (other than pursuant to the Tutopia Stockholders Agreement), and
the Company, as payment therefor, will issue and deliver to such Seller the
appropriate number of shares of IFX Preferred Stock in the form of a single
certificate (or such greater number of certificates representing such shares as
such Seller may request), each dated the date of Closing and registered in such
Seller's name (or in the name of such Seller's nominee(s)).
(e) At each Closing, each Seller which is not then a party to the
Stockholders Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement (as such terms are
defined in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement) shall become a party to each

Preferred Stock for its own account, for investment purposes only, and with no
present intention of distributing, selling or otherwise disposing of them, and
each other holder of Tutopia Shares shall waive any further rights under the
Tutopia Stockholders Agreement (with respect to the Tutopia Shares put) as a
condition to participating in the Put Option. In the event that any Seller
refuses or fails to become a party to such agreements or make such
representation and warranty or otherwise fails to comply with all of the
obligations of a Seller hereunder, then such Seller shall be deemed to have
revoked the exercise of its Put Option and shall not be entitled to have its Pro
Rata Portion of Tutopia Shares purchased by the Company at the Closing. Each
Tutopia stockholder who is not an accredited investor (as such term is defined
in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) will, at the request of the Company,
appoint a purchaser representative (as such term is defined under the Securities
Act) reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such stockholder.
3. Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby covenants to UBS as follows:
(a) As soon as practicable following receipt of the UBS Put Notice, but in
any event no later than twenty (20) days thereafter, the Company shall file with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation,
Number, Powers, Preferences and Relative, Participating and Other Rights (the
"IFX Series E Preferred Certificate") authorizing a new series of preferred
stock of the Company (the "IFX Series E Preferred Stock") substantially in the
form of the Series C Certificate (as defined below). The IFX Series E Preferred
Stock shall have all of the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of
the Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred
Stock") set forth in the Certificate of Designation, Number, Powers, Preferences
and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Rights of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock of the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware on February 19, 2002, as amended from time to time (the "Series C
Certificate"); provided, however, that upon a bankruptcy, liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of IFX Series E Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to receive out of the assets or funds of the Company
by reason of their ownership of such IFX Series E Preferred Stock amounts in
excess of the Stated Preference as is provided with respect to the Series C
Preferred Stock in the Series C Certificate.
