directors, officers, agents, employees, advisers and representatives from and
against any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
including without limitation reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable

7.3 - Indemnification Procedure.
In the case of any claim asserted by a third party against a party
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the "Indemnified Party"),
notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the indemnifying party (the
"Indemnitor") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any
claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and the Indemnified Party shall
permit the Indemnitor (at Indemnitor's expense) to assume the defense of any
claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that (i) the counsel for
the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified Party
may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party's expense, and (iii)
the omission by any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall
not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this
Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual
notice to the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor is materially damaged as a result of
such failure to give notice. Except with the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall not consent to
22
entry of any judgment or order, interim or otherwise, or enter into any
settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting
the Indemnified Party or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release
from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation. In the event that
the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that the conduct of the
defense of any claim subject to indemnification hereunder or any proposed
settlement of any such claim by the Indemnitor might be expected to affect
adversely the Indemnified Party's tax liability or the ability of the
Indemnified Party or any of its subsidiaries to conduct its business, or that
the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or
counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be
available to the Indemnitor in respect of such claim or any litigation relating
thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over
and assume control over the defense, settlement, negotiations or litigation
relating to any such claim at the sole cost of the Indemnitor, provided that if
the Indemnified Party does so take over and assume control, the Indemnified
Party shall not settle such claim or litigation without the written consent of
the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In the event that
the Indemnitor does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, the
Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or
demand and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or
demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall still provide
indemnification to the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnitor and the
Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of any claim or litigation
subject to this Section 7.3 and the records of each shall be available to the
other with respect to such defense.
7.4 - Survival of Indemnification Obligations.
The obligations of the parties under this Article shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of not less than five (5)
years.
ARTICLE 8 - CONFIDENTIALITY
No party, without the consent of the other party, disclose to any third

FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY'S COUNSEL
Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Article 5.1.7 of the
Quota Purchase Agreement dated as of October __, 1999 (the "Agreement") between
Impsat Comunicacoes Ltda. (the "Seller") and O Site Entretenimentos Ltda. (the
"Purchaser"). Terms defined in the Agreement are used herein as therein defined.
We have acted as counsel for the Seller in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of the Agreement.
In that connection we have examined:
(1) the Agreement; and
(2) the corporate documents of the Seller.
Based upon the foregoing, we, having regard for legal considerations
we deem relevant, are of the opinion that:
(a) The Seller and Mandic Internet Ltda. ("Mandic Internet") are
limited liability companies (sociedades por quotas de responsabilidde limiitada)
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Federative Republic
of Brazil.
(b) The Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except to
the extent that the enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, concordata, fraudulent conveyance or
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights
generally.
(c) Except as set forth in the Exhibits to the Agreement, there are
(i) to our knowledge, no material pending or threatened action, suit, claim,
litigation or governmental proceedings or investigations involving the Company
of any nature, in law or equity; (ii) to our knowledge, no outstanding warrants,
options, agreements, convertible securities or other commitments or instruments
pursuant to which the Seller is or may become obligated to sell or repurchase
the Quotas of Mandic Internet; (iii) no preemptive, contractual or similar
rights to purchase or otherwise acquire, except pursuant to the Agreement; (iv)
no restrictions on the transfer of the Quotas
imposed by any Brazilian statute the Quotas, or to our knowledge, any agreement
to which the Seller is a party or any order of any court or any government
agency to which the Seller is subject; and (v) to our knowledge, no agreements,
written or oral, between the Seller and any quotaholder relating to the
acquisition, disposition or voting of the Quotas.
(d) The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the
Agreement, and the compliance with the provisions thereof by the Seller, do not:
(i) Violate any provision of Brazilian law, or to our knowledge
any ruling, writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any
court, administrative agency or other governmental body
applicable to the Seller or its properties or assets; or
(ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute (with due notice or
lapse of time, or both) a default (or give rise to any right
of termination, cancellation or acceleration) or result in the
creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance
upon any of the properties or assets of the Seller under any
agreement, document, instrument, contract, note indenture,
mortgage or lease to which the Seller is known by us to be a
party or under which the Seller or any of its assets is known
by us to be bound or affected.
(e) No authorization, consent, approval or other order of, or
declaration to or filing with, any governmental agency or body, and to our
knowledge, no consent, waiver, or authorization under any agreement, instrument,
contract, note, indenture, mortgage or lease to which the Seller or is known by
us to be a party or under which the Seller or Mandic Internet or any of their
assets is known by us to be bound or affected, is required for: (i) the valid
authorization, execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the
Agreement, or (ii) the valid authorization, sale and delivery of the Quotas to
the Purchaser, except for the authorization given under the Quotaholders Meeting
of the Seller held on September 27, 1999.
(f) The Seller has the necessary corporate power and authority to
own its properties and conduct its businesses as presently conducted, to enter
into the Agreement, and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.
(g) All action required by the Company in order to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby by the Seller has been duly and validly taken.
(h) The execution and delivery of the Agreement does not violate the
Articles of Association of the Seller.
(i) The quotas to be delivered and transferred under the Agreement
have been duly and validly authorized and, when paid for and issued in
accordance with the Agreement, will be fully paid and non-assessable, free and
clear of any lien, encumbrance, pledge or claim whatsoever.
(j) The corporate capital of Mandic Internet is of R$108,775 (one
hundred and eight thousand, seven hundred and seventy five reais) divided into
108,775 (one hundred and eight thousand, seven hundred and seventy five) quotas.
Very truly yours,
