Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Commitment Letter Agreement (the "Agreement") will confirm the agreement among the undersigned (the "Stockholder") and Vsource, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

We understand that (a) the Company intends to transfer its entire ownership interest in Vsource Asia Berhad, formerly Vsource (Malaysia) Berhad ("Vsource Asia"), to a new wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands ("Asia Holding Co.") and to offer each holder of the Company's Series 1-A, 2-A and 4-A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock" and each holder of Preferred Stock, a "Preferred Stockholder") the opportunity to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") such Preferred Stock for common shares of Asia Holding Co. (the "Transaction") and (b) in connection with the completion of the Transaction, Symphony House Berhad ("Symphony") intends to (i) offer to purchase, for cash and upon the occurrence of certain conditions, all of the common shares of Asia Holding Co. (the "Symphony Offer") and (ii) grant to the holders of the common shares of Asia Holding Co. the right to purchase, on a pro rata basis, up to 47,906 shares of the ordinary shares of Vsource Asia that Symphony owns (together with the Symphony Offer, the "Offer"), representing approximately 16.5% of the total outstanding shares of Vsource Asia. The Transaction and the Offer are further described in a Preliminary Information Statement which has been filed with the SEC, a copy of which has been provided to the Stockholder.

Agreement to Tender and Terminate Agreements. So long as each of the Conditions (defined below) are satisfied, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Stockholder, the Stockholder agrees that in connection with the Transaction and the Offer, the Stockholder will (i) exchange all of the Preferred Stock that it owns for shares of Asia Holding Co., pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and (ii) sell to Symphony all of the common shares of Asia Holding Co. that the undersigned receives as a result of its participation in the Exchange Offer; provided that the Stockholder reserves the right to purchase its pro rata portion of the ordinary shares of Vsource Asia offered by Symphony. Furthermore, the Stockholder hereby consents to the Transaction and consents to the termination, effective and conditional upon completion of the Transaction, of (x) the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2002, between the Company and certain stockholders (including the Stockholder) and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 25, 2002, among the Company and certain stockholders (including the Stockholder) (collectively, the "Existing Agreements"). The Existing Agreements shall automatically and without any further action of the Stockholder, terminate upon the completion of the Transaction.
