          (b) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, no Second Lien Loan Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second Lien Loan Document, would:

           component of the interest rate set forth in the Second Lien Credit Agreement as of the date hereof by more than 3.00% per annum.
          (c) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that each Second Lien Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Collateral Agent):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Terremark Woldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch (“Credit Suisse”), as First Lien Collateral Agent, and Credit Suisse, as Second Lien Collateral Agent, and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”
In addition, the Company and the Second Lien Collateral Agent agree that each Second Lien Mortgage covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Second Lien Mortgage to the First Lien Collateral Document covering such Collateral.
          (d) In the event any First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, such First Lien Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Secured Parties and without any action by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Administrative Agent the Company or any other Grantor, provided that:
     (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of: (A) removing assets subject to the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 5.1 and provided that there is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the First Lien Obligations; (B) imposing duties on the Second Lien Collateral Agent without its consent; (C) permitting other Liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second Lien Loan Documents or Section 6;

     5.4 Bailee for Protection.
          (a) The First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon by possession or control under the UCC (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the First Lien Secured Parties and as bailee on behalf of or for the benefit of the Second Lien Collateral Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting by possession or delivery the security interest granted under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4.
          (b) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien Secured Parties, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee for the benefit of and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Secured Parties and any permitted assignee in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below.

The First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

     5.5 When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time in connection with or after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Company either in connection therewith or thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Loan Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation which Refinancing is permitted pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(ii), then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the New First Lien Debt Notice (as defined below) is delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the First Lien Loan Document shall automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the First Lien Collateral Agent under such First Lien Loan Documents shall be the First Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New First Lien Debt Notice”) stating that the Company has entered into a new First Lien Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new first lien collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). Simultaneously, the New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself and the Second Lien Secured Parties to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First Lien Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents and this Agreement.
     5.6 Purchase Right.
          (a) If all of the First Lien Obligations shall have been accelerated (including any automatic acceleration in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the Company) or shall remain unpaid immediately following the Maturity Date as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), the Second Lien Secured Parties shall have the option, commencing upon such date of acceleration or failure to pay and terminating ninety (90) days thereafter, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice by the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the First Lien Collateral Agent (with a copy to the Company) to purchase all, and not less than all, of the First Lien Obligations from the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties. Such notice from the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be irrevocable.
Terremark — Intercreditor Agreement

20


 

          (b) On the date specified by the Second Lien Collateral Agent in such notice (which shall not be less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than fifteen (15) Business Days, after the receipt by the First Lien Collateral Agent of the notice from the Second Lien Collateral Agent of the election by the Second Lien Secured Parties to exercise such option), the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties shall sell to the Second Lien Secured Parties exercising such option, and such Second Lien Secured Parties shall purchase from the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties, the First Lien Obligations without the prior written consent of the Company.
          (c) Upon the date of such purchase and sale, the Second Lien Secured Parties that have exercised such option shall, pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Administrative Agent, (i) pay to the First Lien Secured Parties as the purchase price therefor the full amount of all the First Lien Obligations then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, the credit exposure of the First Lien Secured Parties under all Secured Hedge Agreements, interest, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) at par, and (ii) agree to reimburse the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties for any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the First Lien Obligations, and/or as to which the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party has not yet received final payment. Such purchase price shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the First Lien Collateral Agent for the ratable account of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties in New York, New York, as the First Lien Collateral Agent may designate in writing to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Second Lien Secured Parties that have exercised such option to the bank account designated by the First Lien Collateral Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by such Second Lien Secured Parties to the bank account designated by the First Lien Collateral Agent are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time on such Business Day.
          (d) Such purchase shall be expressly made without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party as to the First Lien Obligations owed to such Person or otherwise, except that each such Person shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the First Lien Obligations being sold by it, (ii) that such Person has not created any Lien on any First Lien Obligation being sold by it and (iii) that such Person has the right to assign First Lien Obligations being assigned by it and its assignment is duly authorized.
          (e) The First Lien Collateral Agent agrees that prior to foreclosing upon, or selling or otherwise realizing upon, all or a material portion of the Collateral, it will provide the Second Lien Collateral Agent with at least ten (10) days’ notice of its intent to commence such foreclosure, sale or other realization. If the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall give the First Lien Collateral Agent written notice of any Second Lien Secured Party’s intention to exercise the purchase option provided under
Terremark — Intercreditor Agreement

21


 

           this Section 5.6 prior to the foreclosure, sale or other realization by the First Lien Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall not continue such foreclosure action or initiate any other action to sell or otherwise realize upon any of the Collateral so long as the purchase and sale with respect to the First Lien Obligations provided for herein shall have closed within ten (10) Business Days thereafter and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties shall have received payment in full of the First Lien Obligations as provided for herein within such ten (10) Business Day period.
     SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
     6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Secured Parties or any other person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that (1) it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, (2) to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to (x) the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), (y) any adequate protection Liens provided to the First Lien Secured Parties, the First Lien Collateral Agent, or the First Lien Lenders, and (z) any “carve-out” for professional fees and fees payable under 28 U.S.C. §1930(a)(7) agreed to by the First Lien Collateral Agent, and (3) it will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith except to the extent permitted in Section 6.3; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Second Lien Secured Parties from (i) objecting to any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or (ii) proposing any other DIP Financing to the Company in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding so long as such DIP Financing does not impair the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, or the First Lien Lenders other than with respect to the superpriority lien status of any liens granted to the DIP Financing lender; provided further that (a)(1) the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing plus (2) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the other First Lien Loan Documents in the case of clause (a)(2) after giving effect to the incurrence of such DIP Financing and the application of proceeds thereof, does not exceed the Cap Amount plus $30,000,000 (it being understood that any “roll-up” of the First Lien Obligations into any DIP Financing shall not be considered part of such DIP Financing) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Secured Parties retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests. The Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection or oppose a motion to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under
Terremark — Intercreditor Agreement

22


 

Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite First Lien Secured Parties have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets, and such motion does not impair the rights of the Second Lien Secured Parties under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code and is otherwise undertaken in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code.
     6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall seek (or take any affirmative action in support of any other person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent.
     6.3 Adequate Protection.
          (a) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other person contesting):
     (i) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Secured Parties for adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay; or
     (ii) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection; or
     (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, to the extent that the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred.
          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:
     (i) if the First Lien Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement; and
Terremark — Intercreditor Agreement

23


 

     (ii) in the event the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Second Lien Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Lien Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the First Lien Secured Parties and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Lien on such collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the First Lien Secured Parties (and all Obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the First Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such First Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Secured Parties from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, cash payments of interest or other cash payments; provided, however, that, unless the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs on the effective date of any plan of reorganization in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (such date, the “Effective Date”), any payment received by holders of Second Lien Obligations pursuant to this clause Section 6.3(ii) or in any other form on account of the Second Lien Obligations shall be turned over by the Second Lien Collateral Agent and Second Lien Secured Parties to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of First Lien Secured Parties on the Effective Date or dismissal of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
     6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and (d) or except as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of the Second Lien Secured Parties, including the seeking by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Secured Parties of adequate protection or the asserting by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Secured Parties of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Loan Documents or otherwise.
     6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of the First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to a reinstatement of the First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery or any finding of the invalidity of a Lien of the First Lien Collateral Agent, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

     6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
     6.7 Post-Petition Interest.
          (a) Neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of any First Lien Secured Party’s Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties on the Collateral.
          (b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party for allowance (but not, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the payment of) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties on the Collateral (after taking into account the First Lien Collateral).
     6.8 Waiver. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Secured Party arising out of the election of any First Lien Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
     6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, and the First Lien Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that:
          (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and
Terremark — Intercreditor Agreement

25


 

          (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions in respect of Collateral or the proceeds thereof shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Secured Parties), the First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution in respect of Collateral or the proceeds thereof is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Secured Parties, with the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, provided, however, that if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Secured Parties, the claim of the Second Lien Secured Parties shall be augmented by such amount.
     6.10 Proof of Claim. If a proper proof of claim has not been filed by the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties in the form required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the time for filing thereof, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the duty) to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties with respect to any of the Second Lien Obligations or any of the Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and full power of substitution and in the name of the Second Lien Secured Parties or otherwise, to execute and deliver any document or instrument that the First Lien Collateral Agent is required or permitted to deliver pursuant to this Section 6.10, such appointment being coupled with an interest and irrevocable.
