        "16.  Limitation of Liability

   No director or officer of the Corporation "Corporation" in this Item 6 refers
   to Teleglobe) shall be liable for the
<PAGE>

   acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or
   employee or for joining in any receipts or other act for conformity or for
   any loss or expense happening to the Corporation through the insufficiency or
   deficiency of title to any property acquired by order of the Board for, or on
   behalf of, the Corporation or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any
   security in or upon which any of the moneys of the Corporation shall be
   invested, or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency
   or tortious acts of any person with whom any of the moneys, securities or
   effects of the Corporation shall be deposited or from any loss occasioned by
   any error of judgment or oversight on his part, or for any other loss, damage
   or misfortune whatever which shall happen in the execution of the duties of
   his office or in relation thereto unless the same shall happen through his
   own willful act or default. Nothing herein contained shall relieve any
   director or officer of the Corporation from his duty to act in accordance
   with the Act("Act" in this Item 6 refers to The Canada Business Corporation
   Act) or from liability for any breach thereof.

          17.  Indemnification

   The Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or
   officer, or a person who acts or acted at the request of the Corporation as a
   director or officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation is or was a
   shareholder or creditor (or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any
   liability on behalf of the Corporation or any such body corporate) and the
   heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of such person,
   from and against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever, including all
   amounts paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment sustained or
   reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or
   administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of
   being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or such body
   corporate if:

   (a)    he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests
       of the Corporation; and

   (b)    in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that
       is enforced by a monetary penalty he had reasonable grounds for believing
       that his conduct was lawful.

   The Corporation shall, subject to the Act, indemnify such persons to the same
   extent in respect of any action by or on behalf of the Corporation to procure
   a judgment in favor of the Corporation to which he is made a party by reason
   of being or having been a director or an officer of the
<PAGE>

   Corporation if the aforesaid conditions (a) and (b) are fulfilled. Subject to
   the Act, the Corporation shall indemnify every person who has been
   substantially successful in the defense of any civil, criminal or
   administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of
   being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation against all
   costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by such person in respect of
   such action or proceeding.

   For greater certainty and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
   the Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless such persons from and
   against any liability sustained by them for the acts, receipts, neglects or
   defaults of any other director or officer or employee of the Corporation or
   for joining in any receipt or act for conformity or for any loss, damage or
   expense of the Corporation arising through the insufficiency or deficiency of
   title to any property acquired by order of the Board for or on behalf of the
   Corporation or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon
   which any of the moneys of or belonging to the Corporation shall be placed
   out or invested or for any loss or damages arising from the bankruptcy,
   insolvency or tortious act of any person, firm or corporation with whom or
   which any moneys, securities or effects shall be lodged or deposited or for
   any other loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which may occur in the
   execution of the duties of their office or in relation thereto, if the
   aforesaid conditions (a) and (b) are fulfilled.  Subject to the Act, the
   Corporation may purchase and maintain for the benefit of any person referred
   to in this section insurance against any liability incurred by him under the
   Act in his capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation."

Teleglobe has purchased a policy of insurance for the benefit of itself and the
directors and officers of Teleglobe against liability incurred by the directors
and officers in the performance of their duties.  The aggregate amount of
coverage is US$125,000,000 in respect of any and all claims.  By the terms of
the policy, in circumstances where a director or officer has a claim against
Teleglobe in respect of a loss covered by the policy, Teleglobe may claim on the
policy for 100% of the loss less the deductible of US$100,000 other than for
securities laws violations and the deductible of US$250,000 for securities laws
violations applicable to a claim which may be indemnified by Teleglobe under the
policy.  In addition, where a director or officer has a claim against the
insurers in respect of a loss covered by the policy, the director or officer may
claim on the policy for 100% of the loss.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
         ------------

(a)  The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
          post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i)   To include in any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
                Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act");

          (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
                the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
                recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
                in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                information set forth in the registration statement;

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
                distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
                statement or any material change to such information in the
                registration statement;

          provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do
          --------  -------
          not apply if the information required to be included in a post-
          effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports
<PAGE>

          filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
          1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
          statement.

(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each
     such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
     statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
     such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
     offering thereof.

(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
     the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
     the offering.

(4)  To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include
     any financial statements required by Rule 3-19 of Item 512 of Regulation 5-
     K at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.

(b)  The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Company's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

   No director or officer of the Corporation "Corporation" in this Item 6 refers
   to Teleglobe) shall be liable for the
acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or
   employee or for joining in any receipts or other act for conformity or for
   any loss or expense happening to the Corporation through the insufficiency or
   deficiency of title to any property acquired by order of the Board for, or on
   behalf of, the Corporation or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any
   security in or upon which any of the moneys of the Corporation shall be
   invested, or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency
   or tortious acts of any person with whom any of the moneys, securities or
   effects of the Corporation shall be deposited or from any loss occasioned by
   any error of judgment or oversight on his part, or for any other loss, damage
   or misfortune whatever which shall happen in the execution of the duties of
   his office or in relation thereto unless the same shall happen through his
   own willful act or default. Nothing herein contained shall relieve any
   director or officer of the Corporation from his duty to act in accordance
   with the Act("Act" in this Item 6 refers to The Canada Business Corporation
   Act) or from liability for any breach thereof.

          17.  Indemnification

   The Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or
   officer, or a person who acts or acted at the request of the Corporation as a
   director or officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation is or was a
   shareholder or creditor (or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any
   liability on behalf of the Corporation or any such body corporate) and the
   heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of such person,
   from and against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever, including all
   amounts paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment sustained or
   reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or
   administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of
   being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or such body
   corporate if:

   (a)    he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests
       of the Corporation; and

   (b)    in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that
       is enforced by a monetary penalty he had reasonable grounds for believing
       that his conduct was lawful.

   The Corporation shall, subject to the Act, indemnify such persons to the same
   extent in respect of any action by or on behalf of the Corporation to procure
   a judgment in favor of the Corporation to which he is made a party by reason
   of being or having been a director or an officer of the
Corporation if the aforesaid conditions (a) and (b) are fulfilled. Subject to
   the Act, the Corporation shall indemnify every person who has been
   substantially successful in the defense of any civil, criminal or
   administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of
   being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation against all
   costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by such person in respect of
   such action or proceeding.

   For greater certainty and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
   the Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless such persons from and
   against any liability sustained by them for the acts, receipts, neglects or
   defaults of any other director or officer or employee of the Corporation or
   for joining in any receipt or act for conformity or for any loss, damage or
   expense of the Corporation arising through the insufficiency or deficiency of
   title to any property acquired by order of the Board for or on behalf of the
   Corporation or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon
   which any of the moneys of or belonging to the Corporation shall be placed
   out or invested or for any loss or damages arising from the bankruptcy,
   insolvency or tortious act of any person, firm or corporation with whom or
   which any moneys, securities or effects shall be lodged or deposited or for
   any other loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which may occur in the
   execution of the duties of their office or in relation thereto, if the
   aforesaid conditions (a) and (b) are fulfilled.  Subject to the Act, the
   Corporation may purchase and maintain for the benefit of any person referred
   to in this section insurance against any liability incurred by him under the
   Act in his capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation."

Teleglobe has purchased a policy of insurance for the benefit of itself and the
directors and officers of Teleglobe against liability incurred by the directors
and officers in the performance of their duties.  The aggregate amount of
coverage is US$125,000,000 in respect of any and all claims.  By the terms of
the policy, in circumstances where a director or officer has a claim against
Teleglobe in respect of a loss covered by the policy, Teleglobe may claim on the
policy for 100% of the loss less the deductible of US$100,000 other than for
securities laws violations and the deductible of US$250,000 for securities laws
violations applicable to a claim which may be indemnified by Teleglobe under the
policy.  In addition, where a director or officer has a claim against the
insurers in respect of a loss covered by the policy, the director or officer may
claim on the policy for 100% of the loss.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
         ------------

(a)  The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
          post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i)   To include in any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
                Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act");

          (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
                the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
                recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
                in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                information set forth in the registration statement;

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
                distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
                statement or any material change to such information in the
                registration statement;

          provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do
          --------  -------
          not apply if the information required to be included in a post-
          effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports
filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
          1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
          statement.

(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each
     such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
     statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
     such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
     offering thereof.

(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
     the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
     the offering.

(4)  To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include
     any financial statements required by Rule 3-19 of Item 512 of Regulation 5-
     K at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.

(b)  The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Company's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
