forth herein, at Closing, Shareholders shall sell to the Purchaser all of the
issued and outstanding shares in the Company (the "Shares"). At Closing, the
Shareholders shall transfer good and valid title to the Shares to the Purchaser
and shall deliver to the Purchaser one or more certificates or other
documentation representing all of the Shares, together with the stock ledger of
the Company in which the appropriate assignments of the Shares to the Purchaser
will be duly executed without limitation and in proper form. In order to comply
with the legal requirement of a minimum of two shareholders in a limited
liability company, at Closing, as defined below, Purchaser shall appoint an
individual or a legal entity to purchase one Share (the "Token Shareholder").
The term "Purchaser" hereunder shall always include the Token Shareholder.
SECTION II.02. Purchase Price; Payment of Purchase Price. In consideration
of and in full payment for the Shares, the Purchaser shall pay to the
Shareholders Three Million Three Hundred and Sixty Two Thousand Eight Hundred

<PAGE>
(a) at Closing, the Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholders One Million Six
Hundred and Eighty One Thousand Four Hundred Forty Four Brazilian Reais and
83/100 cents (Reais$ 1,681,443.83), which represents fifty percent (50%) of the
Purchase Price ("First Installment").
(b) Within One Hundred and Eighty (180) days after Closing, the Purchaser
shall pay to the Shareholders the equivalent of twenty five percent (25%) of the
Purchase Price("Second Installment"). If the First Installment and Second
Installment exceed the amount of the Purchase Price, then the Purchaser shall
only be responsible to pay the Second Installment up to an amount, which added
to the First Installment, equals such Purchase Price.
(c) Within Three Hundred and Sixty (360) days after Closing, the Purchaser
shall pay to the Shareholders the equivalent of one hundred percent (100%) of
the Purchase Price, less any payments made to Shareholders on the First
Installment and Second Installment hereunder ("Final Installment").
(d) The payments of the Second Installment and the Final Installment shall
be adjusted by the percentage of inflation as determined by the IGPM-FGB index
from the date of Closing through the date when the respective payment is made.
(e) Each of the First Installment, Second Installment, and Final
Installment payable to the Shareholders shall be paid to them, at Purchaser's
sole discretion, in the following manner:
(i) 100% in cash (in Brazilian Reais); or
(ii) fifty percent (50%) in cash (in Brazilian Reais) and fifty percent
(50%) in shares of common stock of IFX, Inc., par value $0.02 ("IFX
Stock"), which IFX Stock shall be deemed to have a value per share
based on the average of the reported closing trading price for the
twenty (20) day period immediately prior to the five (5) Business Day
period immediately prior to each payment date. For purposes of
calculating the number of shares payable hereunder, the rate of
exchange to convert the Brazilian Reais to the US Dollars, currency in
which the IFX Stock is traded, shall be the average of the selling and
buying exchange rate for US Dollar as published by the Central Bank of
Brazil by FISBACEN, PTAX800, on the business date immediately
preceding the date of the applicable payment.

are sold or the second anniversary of the effective date of the Registration

Closing, Purchaser shall buy from the Shareholders, at Shareholders' request,
for cash consideration immediately payable to Shareholders, the IFX Stock issued
as payment of a portion of the Purchase Price (the "Return of IFX Stock"). The
Return of IFX Stock shall occur within 5 (five) business days from the receipt

of IFX Stock, which notice shall in no event be earlier than 45 days from
Closing. The price to be paid by Purchaser for the IFX Stock in the Return of
the IFX Stock shall be equal to the portion of the Purchase Price that was to be
paid with such IFX Stock
SECTION II.03. Shareholder Retained Liabilities. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Purchaser is acquiring the Shares, the Shareholders shall assume, agree
to pay, perform and discharge in a timely manner, and hold the Purchaser
harmless from, all Liabilities and Indebtedness not reflected, recorded or
disclosed in the Interim Financial Statements, or which amounts exceed those
reflected in the referenced Interim Financial Statement arising, existing or
relating to periods on or prior to the Closing (collectively, the "Shareholder
Retained Liabilities"). The Purchaser shall have the right to deduct the amount
of any Shareholder Retained Liabilities from any and all payments due
Shareholders hereunder at any time or, if such payments have already been made,
to collect such amounts from the Shareholders. Each Shareholder shall only be
liable to the Purchaser for up to a percentage of the Shareholder Retained
Liabilities equal to three (3) times the percentage of Shares of the Company
owned by such Shareholder as reflected in Schedule A.
(a) Procedure: At any time that the Purchaser wishes to exercise its right
to set off any Shareholder Retained Liabilities or, if such liabilities are
found after all payments due Shareholders have been made, at any time that the
Purchaser desires to collect from Shareholders any Shareholder Retained
Liability, the Purchaser shall send written notice to the Shareholders
specifying the claim, the basis for the claim, and the amount claimed of any
Shareholder Retained Liability. The Shareholder shall then have a thirty (30)
day period to evaluate such claim and send a written notice to the Purchaser if
the Shareholders believe that the claim is unfounded. If the Shareholders send a
written notice within such period of time, then both parties shall appoint an
independent party who shall have 15 days to resolve the matter, and his/her
resolution shall be deemed final. If the Shareholders do not send a notice
within such period of time, the Shareholder Retained Liability specified in the
Purchaser notice shall be deemed final.
(b) Limitation: This Shareholder Retained Liabilities provision shall only
be valid for a period of (i) five (5) years from the date of Closing with
respect to any tax or tax-related liability, (ii) three (3) years from the date
of Closing for any claims or potential claims raised or which may be raised by
any person or entity other than the Purchaser, including without limitation any
labor related claims, and (iii) one (1) year for any other type of liability.

<PAGE>
(c) Discrepancy on Revenues: For purposes of this Agreement, any difference
between the Annualized Net Revenues as reflected in an audit conducted in good
faith by the Accountants within 120 days from the Closing Date ("Audit") and the
Annualized Net Revenues as reflected in the unaudited balance sheet of the
Company as of July 31, 1999, and the related unaudited statements of income,
stockholders' equity and sources and uses of the Company, together with all
related notes and schedules thereto (collectively referred to herein as the
"Interim Financial Statements") shall be deemed a Shareholder Retained Liability
in an amount equal to two (2) times the amount of such difference.
(d) Discrepancy on Net Tangible Book Value: For purposes of this Agreement,
any difference between the NTBV as reflected in the Interim Financial Statements
(except that the cash account of the Interim Financial Statements shall be
replaced with the cash account as of September 30, 1999, which the Shareholders
have delivered to the Purchaser and is enclosed herewith as Schedule 2.03.(d)),
and the NTBV as of the date of Closing, as determined by the Audit, shall be
deemed a Shareholder Retained Liability in an amount equal to the amount of such
difference. "NTBV" shall mean all assets of the Company minus all Liabilities of
the Company.
(e) Brokers and Advisors: For purposes of this Agreement, any accounts
payable to or any amounts due after Closing to any advisor that the Company or
the Shareholders have hired or used in connection with the preparation for and
consummation of this transaction shall be deemed Shareholder Retained
Liabilities in an amount equal to such amounts payable or otherwise due.
(f) Already Discounted Liabilities: The Liabilities listed in Schedule
2.03.(f)(i) and Schedule 2.03.(f)(ii) have already been discounted by the
Purchaser from the Purchase Price and, therefore, shall not be deemed
Shareholder Retained Liabilities hereunder. The Purchaser shall reimburse the
Shareholders only for the amount of any Liabilities listed in Schedule
2.03.(f)(ii) which statute of limitation has already elapsed without resulting
in any pending or resolved claim against the Company. Such reimbursement shall
be made within fifteen (15) days of receiving a written notice by the
Shareholders specifying the requested information, and having duly verified such
claim.
SECTION II.04. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares (the
"Closing") shall take place at such location as shall be agreed upon and on such
day as the conditions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof have been
satisfied (the "Closing Date").

assets, purchase or sale of equity or debt interests of the Company or similar
transactions involving the shares in the capital of the Company (each, a
