         2. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Each certificate representing one or more shares
of Restricted Stock, and each certificate issued upon exchange or transfer
thereof, other than in a Public Sale or as otherwise permitted by Section 3,
shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the
following form:

                  "THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
                  THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
                  TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED (EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY THE
                  REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED MAY ___, 1999 BY AND
                  BETWEEN STARMEDIA NETWORK, INC. AND GERADONS, S.L.) OR
                  HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR
                  UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER
                  EVIDENCE, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY





                  AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."


         3. TRANSFER OF PURCHASED SHARES. (a) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The
Stockholder shall not Transfer the Purchased Shares or any portion thereof prior
to the first anniversary of the Issuance Date. Following the first anniversary
of the Issuance Date, the Stockholder may Transfer the Purchased Shares or any
portion thereof only as provided in Section 3(b) of this Agreement.

         (b) NOTICE OF TRANSFER. Prior to any proposed Transfer of any share of
Restricted Stock (other than under the circumstances described in Section 4
hereof), the Stockholder shall give written notice to the Company of its
intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner of
the proposed Transfer and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be
accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to
the effect that the proposed transfer of the Restricted Stock may be effected
without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the holder of such
Restricted Stock may transfer such Restricted Stock in accordance with the terms
of its notice. Each certificate of Restricted Stock transferred as above
provided shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2, unless (i) such transfer
is to the public in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 (or any other
rule permitting Public Sale without registration under the Securities Act) or
(ii) the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that the
transferee and any subsequent transferee (other than an affiliate of the
Company) would be entitled to transfer such securities in a Public Sale without
registration under the Securities Act. The restrictions provided for in this
Section shall not apply to securities that are not required to bear the legend
prescribed by Section 2 in accordance with the provisions of that Section.

         4. REGISTRATION. If the Company at any time during the period
commencing on the first anniversary of the Issuance Date and ending on the third
anniversary of the Issuance Date proposes to register any of its Common Stock
under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or
for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to
registration statements on Form S-8, any successors thereto or any other form
not available for registering the Restricted Stock for sale to the public or a
Form S-1 covering solely an employee benefit plan), it will give written notice
at such time to the Stockholder of its intention to do so. Upon the written
request of the Stockholder, given within twenty (20) days after receipt of any
such notice by the Company, to register any of its Restricted Stock (which
request shall state the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company
will use reasonable commercial efforts to cause the Restricted Stock as to which
registration shall have been so requested, to be included in the securities to
be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company,
all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the
Stockholder (in accordance with its written request) of such Restricted Stock to
be so registered; PROVIDED that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from
abandoning or delaying any such registration at any time. In the event that any
registration pursuant to this Section 4 shall be, in whole or in part, an
underwritten





public offering of Common Stock, any request by the Stockholder pursuant to this
Section 4 to register Restricted Stock shall specify that either (i) such
Restricted Stock is to be included in the underwriting on the same terms and
conditions as the shares of Common Stock otherwise being sold through
underwriters under such registration or (ii) such Restricted Stock is to be sold
in the open market without any underwriting, on terms and conditions comparable
to those normally applicable to offerings of common stock in reasonably similar
circumstances. The number of shares of Restricted Stock to be included in such
registration may be reduced, if and to the extent that the managing underwriter
shall be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing
of the securities to be sold by the Company in such underwriting.

         5. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. Subject to the Company's right to abandon
or delay any such registration at any time and for any reason, if and whenever
the Company is required by the provisions of Section 4 hereof to use reasonable
commercial efforts to effect the registration of any of the Restricted Stock
under the Securities Act, the Company will:

                           (a) prepare and file with the Commission a
         registration statement with respect to such securities and use
         reasonable commercial efforts to cause such registration statement to
         become and remain effective for the period of the distribution
         contemplated thereby (determined as hereinafter provided);

                           (b) prepare and file with the Commission such
         amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
         prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep
         such registration statement effective for the period specified in
         paragraph (a) above and to comply with the provisions of the Securities
         Act with respect to the disposition of all Restricted Stock covered by
         such registration statement in accordance with the Stockholder's
         intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement
         for such period;

                           (c) furnish to the Stockholder such number of copies
         of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein
         (including each preliminary prospectus) as the Stockholder may
         reasonably request in order to facilitate the Public Sale or other
         disposition of the Restricted Stock covered by such registration
         statement;

                           (d) use reasonable commercial efforts to register or
         qualify the Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement
         under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
         Stockholder shall reasonably request, provided that the Company will





         not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
         jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but
         for this paragraph (d), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such
         jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any
         jurisdiction;

                           (e) use reasonable commercial efforts to list the
         Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement with any
         securities exchange on which any Common Stock of the Company is then
         listed;

                           (f) immediately notify the Stockholder at any time
         when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
         the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which
         the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in
         effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
         state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
         circumstances then existing.

For purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the period of distribution of
Restricted Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering shall be
deemed to extend until each underwriter has completed the distribution of all
securities purchased by it, and the period of distribution of Restricted Stock
in any other registration shall be deemed to extend until the earlier of the
sale of all Restricted Stock covered thereby or three months after the effective
date thereof.

         In connection with each registration hereunder, the Stockholder will
furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to itself and
the proposed distribution by them as shall be reasonably necessary in order to
assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.

         6. EXPENSES. (a) All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
Section 4 hereof, including without limitation all registration and filing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public
accountants for the Company, fees of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars and costs
of insurance, but excluding any Selling Expenses, are herein called
"REGISTRATION EXPENSES". All underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the sale of Restricted Stock are herein called "SELLING EXPENSES".

         (b) The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
each registration statement filed pursuant to Section 4 hereof. All Selling
Expenses in connection with any registration statement filed pursuant to Section
4 hereof shall be borne by the Stockholder, or by such persons other than the
Company as may agree.





         7. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) In the event of a registration of any of the
Restricted Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4, the Company
will indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, to which the Stockholder may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
any registration statement under which such Restricted Stock was registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4, any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Stockholder for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by the
Stockholder.

                  (b) In the event of a registration of any of the Restricted
Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4, the Stockholder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each officer, director and each
other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration
statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who
controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company
or such officer or director or underwriter or controlling person may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the registration statement under which such Restricted Stock was
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4, any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each
such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Stockholder will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
pertaining to the Stockholder, furnished in writing to the Company





by the Stockholder specifically for use in such registration statement or
prospectus; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the Stockholder shall not be liable
to and does not indemnify any underwriter in the offering or sale of Restricted
Stock, or any person who, within the meaning of the Securities Act, controls any
underwriter, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of
such person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the
same may be supplemented or amended, to the person asserting an untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of Restricted Stock to such person, if such statement
or omission was corrected in such final prospectus.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to any indemnified party other than under this Section 7. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and
undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying
party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any
legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of
liaison with counsel so selected; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the defendants in
any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the
indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a
separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate
in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate
counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the
indemnifying party as incurred.

                  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel in any such action, but the fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party
unless (i) the indemnifying party shall have failed to retain counsel for the
indemnified person as aforesaid or (ii) the indemnifying party and such
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel.
It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
action or related actions in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and
disbursements of more than one separate firm qualified in such jurisdiction to
act as counsel for the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with





such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

                  (e) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under such paragraphs in respect of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities or actions in respect thereof referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party shall in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions in such proportion as
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and
the Stockholder, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations, including the failure to give
any notice under paragraph (c) of this Section 7. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company, on the one hand, or the Stockholder, on the other hand, and to the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Stockholder
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
paragraph were determined by PRO RATA allocation or by any other method of
allocation which did not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above in this paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party
as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or action in respect
thereof, referred to above in this paragraph, shall be deemed to include any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentations (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act), shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

         The indemnification of underwriters provided for in this Section 7
shall be on such other terms and conditions as are at the time customary and
reasonably required by such underwriters.

         8. CHANGES IN RESTRICTED STOCK. If, and as often as, there are any
changes in the Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination
or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization or
recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in
the provisions hereof, as may be required, so that the rights and privileges
granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Purchased Shares as so changed
and shall apply to any securities received in any such transaction.

         9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company
represents and warrants to the Stockholder as follows:





                  (a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by the Company have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and
will not violate any provision of law, any order of any court or other agency of
government, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, or any
provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it or any of
its properties or assets is bound, or conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such
indenture, agreement or other instrument, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any
of the properties or assets of the Company.

                  (b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to general equity principles
and to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws from time to time in effect affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

         10. RULE 144 REPORTING. The Company agrees as follows:

                  (a) The Company shall make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, at all times from and after the date it is first required to do

                  (c) The Company shall furnish to the Stockholder promptly (i)
upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the
reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time from and after the date it first
becomes subject to such reporting requirements), and of the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents so filed as the Stockholder
may reasonably request to avail itself of any rule or regulation of the
Commission allowing it to sell any Restricted Stock





without registration.

         11. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Neither party may assign this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the other, and any attempt to do so shall be null
and void.

                  (b) All notices, requests, consents and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by first class registered

OF LAW RULES OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  (d) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or
