Dear Xxx:
This letter agreement is made to reflect the original intent of the parties
regarding, and to clarify certain terms of, the Employment Agreement made
between GlobalCenter Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GlobalCenter"), and you
effective as of December 5, 1999 (the "Agreement").
The stock option granted to you under the Agreement to purchase 5.5% of the
outstanding common stock of GlobalCenter has an aggregate strike price of
$110,000,000, rather than $100,000,000.
In addition, under the Agreement, you have the discretion to exercise the
GlobalCenter stock option described above either for GlobalCenter common stock
or for an equivalent percentage of the shares of a stock issued by Global
Crossing Ltd. to track the business of GlobalCenter (the "Tracking Stock"),
subject to appropriate adjustments without any adverse effect upon you.
These terms of the Agreement as described in this letter agreement are
effective ab initio.
We look forward to continuing our mutually rewarding relationship.
Very truly yours,
GLOBALCENTER INC.
