Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Costa Rican counsel for GLOBAL CROSSING COSTA RICA S.R.L. (“GCCR”) and Global Crossing International Networks Ltd., (GCIN) as sole Quotaholder of the capital stock of GCCR, in the execution by GCCR of certain guarantees to secure the obligations of Global Crossing Limited (“GCL”) in connection with the issuance by GCL of Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”), under an indenture dated as of 22 September 2009 (the “Indenture”) among GCL, the Guarantors defined therein (the “Guarantors”), and Wilmington Trust FSB, as “Trustee” and “Collateral Agent”.

For the purpose of giving this Opinion we have examined and relied upon the following documents:

b. the Registration Statement.

In making our examination of records, documents, agreements and certificates we have assumed , without any independent investigation or verification of any kind, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the correctness of the information contained therein, the genuineness of all signatures, the authority of all persons entering and maintaining records or executing documents, agreements and certificates (other than persons executing documents, agreements and certificates on behalf of GCCR) and the conformity to authentic originals of all items submitted to us as copies (whether certified, conformed, photostatic or by other electronic means) of records, documents, agreements or certificates.
