      PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

     (1) The Company and the other Grantors have entered into an indenture dated as of June 24, 2009 as amended, amended and restated, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time (the " Indenture ”) with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “ Trustee ”) for the holders of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (including any additional notes that may be issued under the Indenture from time to time and any exchange notes issued in respect of such notes and additional notes, the " Notes " ). The Grantors (other than the Company) have guaranteed the obligations of the Company in respect of the Notes pursuant to a note guarantee set forth in the Indenture.

     (2) The Company and the other Grantors may enter into other Parity Lien Documents in respect of additional Parity Lien Obligations to be incurred in the future.

     (3) In order to induce the Trustee to enter into the Indenture and the Parity Lien Representatives and the other holders of the Parity Lien Obligations to enter into the other Parity Lien Documents, the Grantors have agreed to grant, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, a continuing security interest in and to the Collateral to the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the Parity Lien Obligations.

     (4) Each Grantor is the owner of the shares of stock or other Equity Interests (the “ Initial Pledged Interests ”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part I of Schedule II hereto and issued by the Persons named therein and of the indebtedness (the “ Initial Pledged Debt ”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part II of Schedule II hereto and issued by the obligors named therein.

     (5) The Grantors have opened deposit accounts (the “ Deposit Accounts ”) with banks, in the name of the applicable Grantor and subject to the terms of this Agreement, as described in Schedule VII hereto.

     (6) The Company is the beneficiary under certain letters of credit as described in Schedule IX.

     (7) It is a condition precedent to the entry into the Parity Lien Documents by the Parity Lien Representatives and the other holders of Parity Lien Obligations that the Grantors shall have granted to the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties the security interest in the Collateral granted under this Agreement.

     (8) The Collateral Trustee has agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, the other Grantors, the Collateral Trustee, the Trustee and the other parties party thereto (as amended, amended and restated and otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Collateral Trust Agreement ”) to accept the grant of a security interest under this Agreement as security for the Parity Lien Obligations (referred to herein as “ Secured Obligations ”).

     (9) Each Grantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Indenture and the other Parity Lien Documents.

The term “ Federal Book Entry Regulations ” means (a) the federal regulations contained in Subpart B (“ Treasury/Reserve Automated Debt Entry System (TRADES) ”) governing book-entry securities consisting of U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds and Subpart D (“ Additional Provisions ”) of 31 C.F.R. Part 357, 31 C.F.R. § 357.2, § 357.10 through § 357.15 and § 357.40 through § 357.45 and (b) to the extent substantially similar to the federal regulations referred to in clause (a) above (as in effect from time to time), the federal regulations governing other book-entry securities.

provided , however , that (i) any pledge pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1 of the capital stock or other Equity Interests in any Subsidiary that is not a Domestic Subsidiary, where such Subsidiary is a “controlled foreign corporation” under Section 957 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the pledge of any greater percentage would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Company, shall be limited to 65% of such capital stock or other Equity Interests (or such greater percentage as shall not result in such material adverse tax consequences), (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (g) above, Intellectual Property Collateral shall not include intellectual property in relation to which any applicable law or regulation, or any agreement with a domain name registrar or any other Person entered into by the Grantor in the ordinary course of business and existing on the date hereof, prohibits the creation of a security interest therein or would otherwise invalidate such Grantor’s right, title or interest therein; (iii) the security interest granted herein shall not extend to and the term “Collateral” shall not include any lease, license, contract, property rights or agreements to which any Grantor is a party or any of its rights (including property rights with respect to the equipment) or interests thereunder if and for so long as the grant of such security interest shall constitute or result in (x) the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of any debtor therein or (y) in a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under any such lease, license, contract or agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity); provided, however, that such security interest shall attach immediately at such time as the condition causing such abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability shall be remedied and to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of such lease, license, contract, or agreement that does not result in any of the consequences specified in (x) or (y) above; (iv) the Collateral shall not include any interests of the Company or any Grantor in any contract, license, permit, authorization or franchise with government authorities relating to the Permitted Business (as defined in the Indenture); provided that the security interest granted under this Agreement shall attach to any contract, license, permit, authorization or franchise relating to the Permitted Business, to which the applicable governmental authority has consented to the grant of a security interest under the Security Documents; and (v) after-acquired property designated as an “Excluded Asset” pursuant to the Indenture (the items described in the foregoing clauses (ii) through (v) collectively, the “ Excluded Assets ”). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time such property or asset ceases to be an Excluded Asset, then the right to receive, and any interest in, all proceeds of, or monies or other consideration received from or attributable to the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of such assets shall not constitute Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall include (and Excluded Assets shall be deemed to exclude) (x) the right to receive all proceeds derived from the sale, assignment, transfer or transfer of control of Excluded Assets (unless such right independently constitutes Excluded Assets) and (y) proceeds of Excluded Assets (unless such proceeds independently constitute Excluded Assets)

     Section 2. Security for Obligations . This Agreement secures, in the case of each Grantor, the payment of all Secured Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under the Parity Lien Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, fees, premiums, penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Parity Lien Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Grantor.

Terremark — Security Agreement

     Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable . Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Grantor’s Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

     Section 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral . (a) All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee. With respect to certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral that are currently in possession of a prior collateral agent, within 10 days of the date hereof, such certificates or instruments shall be delivered to the Collateral Trustee, or if such certificates or instruments cannot be located, an affidavit of loss in respect of such certificates in a mutually agreed form shall be delivered to the Collateral Trustee and new certificates evidencing such pledged equity and such pledged debt shall be issued by the Company and each other applicable Grantor and shall be delivered to the Collateral Trustee. The parties acknowledge that the Collateral Trustee shall not have any responsibility with respect to such certificates or instruments until taking possession thereof in accordance with the terms herein. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event or condition which, under the terms of any Parity Lien Document, causes or permits the holders of any Parity Lien Obligations to cause such Parity Lien Obligations to become immediately due and payable (with the giving of notice or passage of time or both) (a “ Parity Lien Event of Default ”), the Collateral Trustee shall have the right (i) at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations and (ii) at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Trustee or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 14(a).

     (b) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security, such Grantor will cause the issuer thereof (or, if the issuer thereof is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer thereof) either (i) to register the Collateral Trustee as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Collateral Trustee that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Collateral Trustee without further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee. With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest and that is not an uncertificated security, upon the request of the Collateral Trustee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Parity Lien Event of Default, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of Pledged Interests pledged by such Grantor that such Pledged Interests is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.

Terremark — Security Agreement


 

11

     (c) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest and that constitutes a security entitlement in which the Collateral Trustee is not the entitlement holder, such Grantor will cause the securities intermediary with respect to such security entitlement either (i) to identify in its records the Collateral Trustee as the entitlement holder of such security entitlement against such securities intermediary or (ii) no later than 60 days after the date hereof (or such later date as may be specified by the Collateral Trustee in its sole discretion), to agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Collateral Trustee that such securities intermediary will comply with entitlement orders (that is, notifications communicated to such securities intermediary directing transfer or redemption of the financial asset to which such Grantor has a security entitlement) originated by the Collateral Trustee without further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee.

     (d) No Grantor will change or add any securities intermediary that maintains any securities account in which any of the Collateral is credited or carried, or change or add any such securities account, without first complying with the above provisions of this Section 4 in order to perfect the security interest granted hereunder in such Collateral.

     (e) Upon delivery of a written request of the Collateral Trustee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Parity Lien Event of Default, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of Pledged Debt that such Pledged Debt pledged by such Grantor is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.
