CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The following does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference in any other filing by us under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors, except with respect to those matters reserved for our stockholders. Our board of directors establishes our overall corporate policies, reviews the
5
performance of our senior management in executing our business strategy and managing our day-to-day operations, acts as an advisor to our senior management and reviews our long-term strategic plans. Our board’s mission is to further the long-term interests of our stockholders. Members of our board of directors are kept informed of our business through discussions with our management, primarily at meetings of the board of directors and its committees, and through reports and analyses presented to them. The board and each of its committees — audit and compensation — also have the authority to retain, at our expense, outside counsel, consultants or other advisors in the performance of their duties.
Our board of directors held a total of ten meetings and took no actions by written consent during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Each director except Messrs. Money, Rosen, Ruiz and Wright attended at least 75% of the total number of fiscal year 2007 meetings of our board and committees on which he served. We have no formal policy regarding attendance by our directors at our annual stockholder meetings, although we encourage this attendance and most of our directors have historically attended these meetings. Our officers are elected annually by our board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board. Our directors hold office until the expiration of their term or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We maintain a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all employees and directors. Additionally, we maintain a Code of Ethics that is applicable to our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers. These codes require continued observance of high ethical standards such as honesty, integrity and compliance with the law in the conduct of our business. The Code of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers is publicly available on our website atwww.terremark.com under “Investor Relations”. We intend to post on our website amendments to or waivers from our Code of Ethics. Violations under either code of conduct must be reported to the Audit Committee. These materials may also be requested in print by writing to the Director of Investor Relations at Terremark Worldwide, Inc., 2601 S. Bayshore Drive, Miami, Florida 33133.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of our common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. Officers, directors and greater than 10 percent shareholders are required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To management’s knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of these reports furnished and representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company’s officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners were in compliance.
Communications Between Stockholders and the Board
Stockholders or other interested parties wishing to communicate with our board of directors should submit any communications in writing to the Board of Directors at Terremark Worldwide, Inc., 2601 S. Bayshore Drive, Miami, Florida 33133. If a stockholder would like the letter to be forwarded directly to the Chairman of the Board or to one of the Chairmen of the three standing committees, he or she should so indicate. If no specific direction is indicated, the Secretary will review the letter and forward it to the appropriate member of our board of directors.
Nominations for Directors
Our board of directors does not have a standing nominating committee. Our independent directors act as a nominating committee for the annual selection of our nominees for election as directors. Each of our independent directors meets the definition of “independent” under the listing standards of the NASDAQ.
In evaluating candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors, the independent directors are to take into account the applicable requirements for directors under the NASDAQ rules. The independent directors may take
6
into consideration such other factors and criteria as they deem appropriate in evaluating a candidate, including his or her judgment, skill, integrity, diversity, and business or other experience. The independent directors may (but are not required to) consider candidates suggested by management or other members of the board of directors.
Generally, the independent directors will consider candidates who have experience as a board member or senior officer of a company or who are generally recognized in a relevant field as a well-regarded practitioner, faculty member or senior government officer. The independent directors will also evaluate whether the candidates’ skills and experience are complementary to the existing board of directors members’ skills and experience as well as the board of directors’ need for operational, management, financial, international, technological or other expertise. Nominations for director may be made by our stockholders, provided such nominations comply with certain timing and information requirements set forth in our bylaws.
A majority of the members of our Board of Directors are independent from management. When making determinations regarding independence, the Board of Directors references the listing standards adopted by NASDAQ as well as the independence standards set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under that Act. In particular, our Audit Committee periodically evaluates and reports to the Board on the independence of each member of the Board. The committee analyzes whether a director is independent by evaluating, among other factors, the following:
1. | Whether the member of the Board of Directors has any material relationship with us, either directly, or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us; | |
2. | Whether the member of the Board of Directors is our current employee or was one of our employees within three years preceding the date of determination; | |
3. | Whether the member of the Board of Directors is, or in the three years preceding the date of determination has been, affiliated with or employed by (i) a present internal or external auditor of ours or any affiliate of such auditor, or (ii) any former internal or external auditor of ours or any affiliate of such auditor, which performed services for us within three years preceding the date of determination; | |
4. | Whether the member of the Board of Directors is, or in the three years preceding the date of determination has been, part of an interlocking directorate, in which one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee of another company that concurrently employs the member as an executive officer; | |
5. | Whether the member of the Board of Directors receives any compensation from us, other than fees or compensation for service as a member of the Board of Directors and any committee of the Board of Directors and reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such service and for reasonable educational expenses associated with Board of Directors or committee membership matters; | |
6. | Whether an immediate family member of the member of the Board of Directors is one of our current executive officers or was an executive officer within three years preceding the date of determination; | |
7. | Whether an immediate family member of the member of the Board of Directors is, or in the three years preceding the date of determination has been, affiliated with or employed in a professional capacity by (i) a present internal or external auditor of ours or any of our affiliates, or (ii) any of our former internal or external auditors or any affiliate of ours which performed services for us within three years preceding the date of determination; and | |
8. | Whether an immediate family member of the member of the Board of Directors is, or in the three years preceding the date of determination has been, part of an interlocking directorate, in which one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee of another company that concurrently employs the immediate family member of the member of the Board of Directors as an executive officer. |
The above list is not exhaustive and the Audit Committee considers all other factors which could assist it in its determination that a director has no material relationship with us that could compromise that director’s independence.
7
As a result of this review, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined that Messrs. Elwes, Fernandez, Wright, Rosenfeld and Ruiz are independent of Terremark and our management under the standards set forth above. Mr. Money is considered an inside director because of his employment as one of our senior executives. Messrs. Mr. Amore is considered a non-independent outside director because of certain consulting arrangements with us as, Mr. Wright is considered on independent outside director notiwthstanding certain consulting arrangements between us and him because payments under such consulting arrangements do not excess $100,00. well as certain transactions between us and an affiliate of Mr. Wright. Additional information regarding these consulting arrangements and transactions between Messrs. Money, Wright and Amore and us can be found under “Certain Relationship and Related Transactions” below. Mr. Regen is not considered independent to the relationships set forth under “ Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation”
BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMMITTEES
Our board of directors has a standing audit committee and compensation committee.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Fernandez, Rosenfeld and Ruiz. The members of the audit committee are, and will continue to be, independent under the listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Market. The board of directors has determined that Messrs. Fernandez and Ruiz satisfy the financial literacy and experience requirements of the NASDAQ and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The audit committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on our website atwww.terremark.com under “Investor Relations”. The charter is available in print to any stockholder who requests it in writing from our Director of Investor Relations at Terremark Worldwide, Inc., 2601 S. Bayshore Drive, Miami, Florida 33133. The audit committee represents the board in its relations with our independent public accountants and oversees the financial reporting and disclosures prepared by our management. The audit committee’s functions include meeting with our management and our independent public accountants, reviewing and discussing our audited and unaudited financial statements with our management, recommending to the board of directors the engagement of our independent auditors, reviewing with such auditors the plan and results of their audit of our financial statements, determining the independence of such auditors and discussing with management and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of our internal controls as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. During fiscal year 2007, the audit committee held ten meetings and took no action by written consent. For more information regarding the functions of the Audit Committee and its activities during fiscal 2007, see the “Report of the Audit Committee” below.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The following Report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference in any other filing by us under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Under the guidance of a written charter adopted by the board of directors, the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. The Audit Committee consists of three members, each of whom is “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Market, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the committee’s charter require that all services provided to us by our independent auditors be subject to pre-approval by the audit committee. The Audit Committee has established policies and procedures contemplated by these rules.
Management has the primary responsibility for the system of internal controls and the financial reporting process. Our independent accountants have the responsibility to (i) perform an independent audit of our financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting and (ii) express an opinion on the conformity of our financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting. We have the responsibility to monitor and oversee these processes.
In fulfilling our oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2007 with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles employed, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the
8
financial statements. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2007 with our independent auditors. Consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors all of the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, Communications with Audit Committees, as amended. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors their independence from our management and from us, including matters in the written disclosures provided by the independent auditors to the audit committee as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussion with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3600T. As part of this review, the Audit Committee considered whether the non-audit services provided to us by the independent auditors during fiscal 2007 were compatible with maintaining their independence. Upon its review, the Audit Committee has satisfied itself as to the independence of our independent auditors.
Without management present, the Audit Committee met separately with the independent accountants to review the results of their examinations, their evaluation of the company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the company’s accounting and financial reporting. In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed initiatives and programs aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of our internal control structure. As part of this process, the audit committee continued to monitor the scope and adequacy of the company’s internal procedures and controls.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions with management and the independent accountants referred to above, and subject to the limitations on its role and responsibilities described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report onForm 10-K for fiscal 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the fiscal 2007 annual report to our stockholders.

In April 2007, Mr. Rosen resigned as a member of our Compensation Committee due to Mr. Rosen’s current position as chairman of the board of Fusion Telecommunications (“Fusion”), a NASDAQ traded company, on whose board Manuel D. Medina, our chairman and chief executive officer, formerly served as a member of Fusion’s compensation committee and whose chief executive officer is Mr. Rosen’s son. Mr. Rosen is still a member of our Board.
No member of the Compensation Committee is now or ever was an officer or an employee of ours and is independent under the listing standards of the NASDAQ.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for our executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table (“Named Executive Officers”). As more fully described below, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”) makes all decisions for the total direct compensation — that is, the base salary, incentive compensation awards and equity incentive awards — of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers.
The day-to-day design and administration of savings, health, welfare and paid time-off plans and policies applicable to salariedU.S.-based employees in general are handled by our Human Resources, Finance and Legal Department employees. The Committee (or Board) remains responsible for certain fundamental changes outside the day-to-day requirements necessary to maintain these plans and policies with regards to our Named Executive Officers.
Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards
Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, each executive’s total compensation package, and internal pay equity. We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all executives with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary, incentive compensation and equity. When referring to our executive compensation program, we are referring to the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers named in the Summary Compensation Table.
All of the compensation and benefits for our Named Executive Officers described below have as a primary purpose our need to attract, retain and motivate the highly talented individuals who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to succeed in our mission while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace. Beyond that, different elements are designed to engender different behaviors. The actual incentive amounts awarded to each Name Executive Officer are ultimately subject to the discretion of the Committee.
• | Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain employees over time. | |
• | Incentive compensation awards are designed to focus employees on the business objectives for a particular year. | |
• | Equity incentive awards, such as stock options and nonvested stock, focus executives’ efforts on the behaviors within the recipients’ control that they believe are designed to ensure our long-term success as reflected in increases to our stock prices over a period of several years, growth in our profitability and other elements. | |
• | Severance and change in control plans are designed to facilitate our ability to attract and retain executives as we compete for talented employees in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered. The separation benefits described below provide benefits to ease an employee’s transition due to an unexpected employment termination by us due to on-going changes in our employment needs. The change in control separation benefits described below encourages our employees to remain focused on our business in the event of rumored or actual fundamental corporate changes. |
The Elements of Terremark’s Compensation Program
Base Salary
Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution. The Committee reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, considering factors
10
such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. All of our Named Executive Officers have current employment agreements with us that state their initial base salaries and generally renew on an annual basis. Additional factors reviewed by the Committee in determining appropriate base salary levels and raises include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance. During fiscal year 2007, all executive officer base salary decisions were approved by the Committee.
The Committee determines base salaries for the Named Executive Officers at the beginning of each calendar year. The Committee proposes new base salary amounts based on:
• | evaluation of individual performance and expected future contributions; | |
• | a review of survey data to ensure competitive compensation against the external market generally defined as the Peer Companies; and | |
• | a comparison of the base salaries of the executive officers who report directly to the CEO to ensure internal equity. |
Base salary is the only element of compensation that is used in determining the amount of contributions permitted under our 401(k) Plan.
Incentive Compensation Awards
Amounts shown as Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation in the Summary Compensation Table are driven by the following performance goals:
• | Revenues and | |
• | Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). |
On November 27, 2006, the Committee approved certain performance goals and target bonus amounts for our Named Executive Officers, excluding those eligible for commissions. The incentive compensation awards are payable in cash or stock at the sole discretion of the Committee. Under the terms of the incentive compensation program, we have assigned annual target bonus amount to each Named Executive Officer. We have determined each executive officer’s actual annual bonus based upon our performance as compared to the benchmark goals (the “Performance Targets”) that were approved by the Committee. For fiscal 2007 these Performance Targets were as follows:
Actual Results vs Applicable Performance Target | ||||||||
Less than | From 95% to | From 100% to | ||||||
Revenue and EBITDA | 95% | 100% | 105% | Greater than 105% | ||||
Percentage of Target Bonus Award | No Bonus | 50% to 70% | 75% to 100% | 100% plus percentage above 105% with a maximum of 15% |
The target bonus for our Chief Executive Officer has been set at 75% of his base salary. The target bonuses for our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Legal Officer have been set at 40% of their respective base salaries. Such bonuses may be paid in cash or nonvested stock or share equivalents of our common stock, par value $.001, at the discretion of the Committee.
No bonuses will be paid with respect to our EBITDA Performance Target as it was not met during the year ended March 31, 2007. As of the date of this filing, the Committee has not determined if the earned incentive compensation awards will be paid in cash or nonvested stock.

The Committee believes that the incentive awards to be paid to executive officers for fiscal 2007, in aggregate, are consistent with the level of accomplishment and appropriately reflected our performance.
Equity Incentive Awards
We believe that the grant of significant annual equity awards further links the interests of senior management and our stockholders. Therefore, we believe that the grant of stock options and the awarding of nonvested stock are important components of annual compensation. Our executive officers, including each of the Named Executive Officers, are eligible to receive awards under the 2005 Executive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Committee considers several factors in determining whether awards are granted to an executive officer under the Plan. In addition to the factors referenced above regarding an executive officer’s overall compensation, factors include the executive’s position, his or her performance and responsibilities, the amount of options or other awards, if any, currently held by the officer, and their vesting schedule.
Stock options provide for financial gain derived from the potential appreciation in stock price from the date that the option is granted until the date that the option is exercised. The exercise price of stock option grants is set at fair market value on grant date. Our long-term performance ultimately determines the value of stock options, because gains from stock option exercises are entirely dependent on the long-term appreciation of our stock price. Stock options granted are generally exercisable in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date and expire ten years from the grant date.
Because a financial gain from stock options is only possible after the price of our common stock has increased, we believe grants encourage executives and other employees to focus on behaviors and initiatives that should lead to an increase in the price of our common stock, which benefits all of our stockholders.
No Backdating or Spring Loading: Our policy is not to backdate options or grant options retroactively. In addition, we do not plan to coordinate grants of options so that they are made before announcement of favorable information, or after announcement of unfavorable information. Our options are granted at fair market value on a fixed date or event (such as an employee’s hire date) with all required approvals obtained in advance of or on the actual grant date. All grants to executive officers require the approval of the Committee. Our general practice is to grant options only on the annual grant date and on an employee’s hire date, although there are occasions when grants have been made on other dates. We are working to eliminate “off cycle” grants to the extent possible.
Grants of options and nonvested stock were made to the Named Executive Officers, excluding those eligible for commissions, by the Committee on November 27, 2006. These stock option grants expire ten years from the grant date and vest in equal installments on January 1, 2008, November 27, 2009 and November 27, 2010. SeeGrants of Plan-Based Awardstable on page 16.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
We grant share-based incentives in order to align the interests of our employees with those of our stockholders. Terremark-issued options are not transferable during the executive’s life, other than certain gifts to family members (or trusts, partnerships, etc. that benefit family members). The Committee has ultimate discretion with regards to transferability of awards upon the death of an executive.
12
Benefits
As salaried,U.S.-based employees, the Named Executive Officers participate in a variety of retirement, health and welfare, and vacation benefits designed to enable us to attract and retain our workforce in a competitive marketplace. Health and welfare and vacation benefits help ensure that we have a productive and focused workforce through reliable and competitive health and other benefits. Savings plans help employees, especially long-service employees, save and prepare financially for retirement.
Our qualified 401(k) Plan allows highly compensated employees to contribute up to 15 percent of their base salary, up to the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code — $225,000 for 2007 — on a pre- or after-tax basis. Our 401(k) plan provides for discretionary matching of employee contributions. During the year ended March 31, 2007, we provided a 50 percent match on the first 8 percent of employee contributions, which vests over five years. Participants choose to invest their account balances from an array of investment options as selected by plan fiduciaries from time to time, plus a stock fund. The 401(k) Plan is designed to provide for distributions in a lump sum after termination of service. However, loans — and in-service distributions under certain circumstances such as a hardship, attainment of age 591/2 or a disability — are permitted.
Perquisites
We did not provide our Named Executive Officers with any perquisites that conferred a direct or indirect benefit that has a personal aspect, without regard to whether it may be provided for some business reason or for our convenience, unless it is generally available on a non-discriminatory basis to all employees. An item is not a perquisite if it is integrally and directly related to the performance of the executive’s duties.
We did not provide our Named Executive Officers with other perquisites such as split-dollar life insurance, reimbursement for legal counseling for personal matters, reimbursement for financial planning or tax reimbursement payments. We did not provide loans to executive officers. We may provide other employees with relocation loans in certain circumstances.
Separation and Change in Control Arrangements
The Named Executive Officers, per the terms of their respective employment agreements, are eligible for the benefits and payments if employment terminates in a separation or if there is a change in control, as described underPotential Payments on Termination or Change in Controlbeginning on page 19. We define separation as a termination of employment either by the employee or by us for cause or without cause.
Separation Benefits.
Individual employment agreements provide severance payments and other benefits in an amount we believe is appropriate, taking into account the time it is expected to take a separated employee to find another job. The payments and other benefits are provided because we consider a separation to be a Company-initiated termination of employment that under different circumstances would not have occurred and which is beyond the control of a separated employee. Separation benefits are intended to ease the consequences to an employee of an unexpected termination of employment. We benefit by requiring a general release from separated employees. In addition, we may request non-compete and non-solicitation provisions in connection with individual separation agreements.
We consider it likely that it will take more time for higher-level employees to find new employment, and therefore executive officers generally are paid severance for a longer period. Additional payments may be permitted in some circumstances as a result of negotiations with executive officers, especially where we desire particular nondisparagement, cooperation with litigation, noncompetition and nonsolicitation terms. See Individual Agreements under thePotential Payments on Termination or Change in Control beginning on page 19 for additional information.
Change in Control. Individual employment agreements provide for compensation and benefits if there is a change in control. These agreements recognize the importance to us and our stockholders of avoiding the distraction and loss of key management personnel that may occur in connection with rumored or actual fundamental corporate
13
changes. A properly designed change in control agreement protects stockholder interests by enhancing employee focus during rumored or actual change in control activity through:
• | Incentives to remain with us despite uncertainties while a transaction is under consideration or pending; | |
• | Assurance of severance and benefits for terminated employees; and | |
• | Access to equity components of total compensation after a change in control. |
Our stock options and nonvested stock generally vest upon a change in control (as fully described underChange in Controlbeginning on page 21). The remainder of benefits generally requires a change in control, followed by a termination of an executive’s employment. In adopting the so-called “single” trigger treatment for equity vehicles, we were guided by three principles:
• | Be consistent with current market practice among peers. | |
• | Keep employees relatively whole for a reasonable period but avoid creating a “windfall.” |
• | Single trigger vesting ensures that ongoing employees are treated the same as terminated employees with respect to outstanding equity grants. | |
• | Single trigger vesting provides employees with the same opportunities as stockholders, who are free to sell their equity at the time of the change in control event and thereby realize the value created at the time of the deal. | |
• | The Company that made the original equity grant will no longer exist after a change in control and employees should not be required to have the fate of their outstanding equity tied to the new company’s future success. | |
• | Single trigger vesting on performance-contingent equity, in particular, is appropriate given the difficulty of replicating the underlying performance goals. |
• | Support the compelling business need to retain key employees during uncertain times. |
• | A single trigger on equity vesting can be a powerful retention device during change in control discussions, especially for more senior executive officers where equity represents a significant portion of their total pay package. | |
• | A double trigger on equity provides no certainty of what will happen when the transaction closes. |

On March 23, 2006, the Committee approved the vesting, effective as of March 31, 2006, of all unvested stock options previously granted under our stock options and executive incentive compensation plans. The options affected by this accelerated vesting had exercise prices ranging from $2.79 to $16.50. As a result of the accelerated vesting, options to purchase approximately 460,000 shares became immediately exercisable. All other terms of these options remain unchanged. The Committee accelerated the vesting of options for the following Named Executive Officers:

During the year ended March 31, 2007, our Named Executive Officers did not acquire any shares of our common stock upon the exercise or vesting of options.
Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control
The section below describes the payments that may be made to Named Executive Officers upon separation as defined below, pursuant to individual agreements, or in connection with a change in control.
Separation
We provide separation pay and benefits to our Named Executive Officers via individual employment agreements. To be eligible for all of the benefits described below, a general release of claims in the form determined by us is required, as well as nondisparagement, cooperation with litigation and, in some cases, noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements as determined by us in connection with, and at the time of, the separation. These individual agreements may affect the amount paid or benefits provided following termination of their employment under certain conditions as described below.
Manuel D. Medina: Mr. Medina is employed as our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President under the terms of an amended and restated employment agreement; the terms of which commenced on April 28, 2001. The amended and restated agreement is for a term of twelve months and automatically renews for successive one year terms until either party gives written notice of its intention not to renew. The amended and restated agreement provides for an initial annual base salary of $350,000 and is subject to increases. Pursuant to the terms of his agreement, Mr. Medina is prohibited from competing with us for a one year period following the termination of his employment, unless this termination is by us without cause or by him for “good reason” as specified in the employment agreement. If Mr. Medina’s employment were to be terminated by us without cause, without a change in control or by him for “good reason”, he is entitled to receive his annual base salary through the date his employment would have ended under the terms of his agreement, but in no event for more than six months.
Jose A. Segrera: Mr. Segrera has entered into a one year employment agreement, commencing September 25, 2001, employing him as our Chief Financial Officer. The agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms until either party gives written notice of its intention not to renew. In June 2001, Mr. Segrera’s title was changed to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The agreement provides for an initial annual base
19
salary of $150,000, which has been increased to $200,000, and is subject to further increases. Pursuant to the terms of his agreement, Mr. Segrera is prohibited from competing with us for a one year period following termination of his employment, unless this termination is by us without cause or by him for “good reason” as specified in the employment agreement. If Mr. Segrera’s employment were to be terminated by us without cause, without a change in control or by him for “good reason”, he is entitled to receive his annual base salary through the date his employment would have ended under the terms of his agreement, but in no event for more than six months.
Jamie Dos Santos: Ms. Dos Santos has entered into a one year employment agreement, commencing November 1, 2002, employing her as our Senior Vice President of Global Initiatives. The agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms until either party gives written notice of its intention to terminate. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $250,000 and is subject increases. Pursuant to the terms of her agreement, Ms. Dos Santos is prohibited from competing with us for a one year period following termination of her employment, unless this termination is by us without cause or by her for “good reason” as specified in the employment agreement. In April 2003, Ms. Dos Santos became our Chief Marketing Officer. If Ms. Dos Santos’ employment were to be terminated by us without cause, without a change in control or by her for “good reason”, she is entitled to receive her annual base salary for a period of six months from the date of termination.
John Neville: Mr. Neville has entered into an employment agreement, commencing April 18, 2005, employing him as our Senior Vice President of Commercial Sales. The agreement is for an indefinite term until either party gives written notice of its intention to terminate. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $200,000, and is subject to further increases. Pursuant to the terms of his agreement, Mr. Neville is prohibited from competing with us for a one year period following termination of his employment, unless this termination is by us without cause or by him for “good reason” as specified in the employment agreement. If Mr. Neville’s employment were to be terminated by us without cause, without a change in control or by him for “good reason”, he is entitled to receive his annual base salary for a period of three months.
Marvin Wheeler: Mr. Wheeler has entered into an employment agreement, commencing November 1, 2002, employing him as our Senior Vice President of Operations. The agreement is effective until either party gives written notice of its intention to terminate. The agreement provides for an annual initial base salary of $175,000, which has been increased to $200,000, and is subject to further increases. Pursuant to the terms of his agreement, Mr. Wheeler is prohibited from competing with us for a one year period following termination of his employment, unless this termination is by us without cause or by him for “good reason” as specified in the employment agreement. In November 2003, Mr. Wheeler became our Chief Operations Officer. If Mr. Wheeler’s employment were to be terminated by us without cause, without a change in control or by him for “good reason”, he is entitled to receive his annual base salary for a period of six months from the date of termination.
Adam T. Smith: Mr. Smith has entered into an employment agreement, commencing October 20, 2006, employing him as our Chief Legal Officer. Mr. Smith previously served as our Deputy General Counsel.

If Mr. Smith’s employment were to be terminated by us without cause, without a change in control or by him for “good reason”, he is entitled to receive his annual base salary for a period of six months from the date of termination.
A termination for “good reason” for the Named Executive Officers generally includes any of the following actions by us without the executive’s written consent:
• | The assignment to the executive of any duties or responsibilities inconsistent in any respect with the executive’s position or a similar position with us or one of our subsidiaries or any other action by us which results in a substantial and compelling diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by us promptly after receipt of notice by the executive. |
20
• | Reducing annual base salary or level of bonus opportunity, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by us promptly after receipt of notice by the executive. | |
• | Changing the executive’s office or location outside of the area for which the executive was originally hired to work except for travel reasonably required in the performance of the executive’s responsibilities. | |
• | Any good faith determination of “good reason” made by the Committee shall be conclusive. |
A termination by us for cause generally includes:
• | An action or omission of the executive which constitutes a willful and material breach of, or failure or refusal (other than by reason of disability) to perform his or her duties under their respective employment agreement which is not cured within fifteen days after receipt by the executive or written notice. | |
• | Fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds or breach of trust in connection with his or her services. | |
• | Conviction of a felony or any other crime which involves dishonesty or a breach of trust. | |
• | Gross negligence in connection with the performance of the executive’s duties, which is not cured within fifteen days after receipt by the executive or written notice. | |
• | Insubordination or other refusal to adhere to our policy or the instructions of a superior. | |
• | Negligence by commission or omission that results in injury or damage to Terremark. |
Change in Control
With respect to the Named Executive Officers, the following severance benefits would be provided upon qualifying terminations of employment in connection with or within one year following a change in control:
• | Cash severance pay equal to the sum of two times his or her annual base salary and incentive compensation. | |
• | The value of any annual fringe benefits. | |
• | Accrued incentive compensation through the date of termination. |
A “change in control” generally consists of any of the following:
• | Approval by our stockholders of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form of corporate transaction or series of transactions. | |
• | A liquidation or dissolution of Terremark. | |
• | The acquisition of Terremark by any person or group of more than 30% of either the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the combined voting power of our then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. | |
• | The resignation of Manuel D. Medina as both our Chairman and CEO, his death or his absence from our day to day business affairs for more than 90 consecutive days due to disability or incapacity. |
The following describes the treatment of outstanding stock options and nonvested stock upon a change of control per our different stock plans except for certain options issued prior to the 2000 Stock Option Plan:
2005 Executive Compensation Plan and 2000 Directors Plan
• | Upon a change in control, all outstanding stock options and nonvested stock will become fully vested. |
2000 Stock Option Plan
• | To the extent not previously exercised each option shall terminate immediately. | |
• | The Committee in its sole discretion may cancel any option that remains unexercised on the effective date of the transaction. The Committee shall give written notice in order that optionees may have a reasonable |
21
period of time prior to the closing date of the change in control within which to exercise any exercisable options. |
The table below was prepared as though a change in control occurred and the Named Executive Officers’ employment was terminated on March 30, 2007 (the last business day of 2007) using the share price of our common stock as of that day (both as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission). With those assumptions taken as given, we believe the remaining assumptions listed below, which are necessary to produce these estimates, are reasonable individually and in the aggregate. However, a change in control did not occur on March 30, 2007 and the executives were not terminated on that date. There can be no assurance that a change in control would produce the same or similar results as those described if it occurs on any other date or at any other price, or if any assumption is not correct in fact.

General Assumptions
• | Change in control date was March 30, 2007 | |
• | All executives were terminated on change in control date |
Equity-based Assumptions
• | Stock options and nonvested stock vested on March 30, 2007 | |
• | Stock options that become vested due to the change in control are valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, based on the following inputs: |
• | actual exercise price of each option | |
• | fair value of $8.06 per share | |
• | expected term and volatility numbers based onNote 16. “Share-Based Compensation” to the Company’s consolidated financial statementsset forth in the10-K | |
• | current dividend rate and risk-free rate |
• | Using Black-Scholes to determine option values causes value for purposes of excise tax purposes even for “underwater” options — that is, options whose exercise price is greater than the closing price on the date of the change in control |
Director Compensation
We maintain a policy of compensating our directors using stock option and nonvested stock grants and, in the case of service on some committees of our Board, payments of cash consideration. Upon their election as a member of our Board, each director received options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock. Our employee
22
directors receive the same compensation as our non-employee directors. As described more fully below, this chart summarizes the annual cash compensation for our Board during fiscal 2007.

The FAS 123(R) value as of the grant date for nonvested stock is recognized ratably over the applicable vesting period. There can be no assurance that the FAS 123(R) amounts will ever be realized. | |
On November 27, 2006, the Committee approved the grant of 5,000 shares of nonvested stock to each director. These grants vest in equal installments beginning on January 1, 2008, November 27, 2008 and November 27, 2009. | ||
The amounts for Mr. Amore and Mr. Money include grants of 50,000 and 15,000 shares, respectively, of nonvested stock made in conjunction with their respective consulting agreements with us. See Column (f). | ||
As of March 31, 2007, the aggregate number of stock option awards outstanding was: Mr. Amore — 41,500 shares; Mr. Elwes — 41,500 shares; Mr. Fernandez — 31,500 shares; Mr. Money — 31,500; Mr. Rosen — 46,000 shares; Mr. Rosenfeld — 41,500 shares; Mr. Ruiz — 31,500 shares; and Mr. Wright — 61,500 shares. | ||
(2) | In November 2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Amore. The agreement, effective October 2006, provides for annual compensation of $240,000, payable monthly. In conjunction with this agreement, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of 50,000 shares of nonvested stock with a vesting period of one year. In addition, we paid Mr. Amore a $150,000 consulting fee in June 2006 related to services provided in connection with NAP development activities. | |
(3) | On June 13, 2006, we entered into an employment letter agreement with Mr. Money where he agreed to serve as our Director of Government, Military and Homeland Security Affairs. The employment letter expired by its terms on January 31, 2007 but continues in effect unless terminated by us or him on 48 hours written notice for terminations with cause or on 90 days written notice for terminations without cause. The agreement provides for annual compensation of $60,000, payable monthly, and a grant of 15,000 shares of nonvested stock. The compensation cost of this award was recognized in the year ended March 31, 2006. Mr. Money is not considered an officer of Terremark, and the employment letter expressly provides that he is not granted the ability to bind us to any agreement with a third party or to incur any obligation or liability on our behalf. | |
(4) | On September 21, 2001, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Wright. The agreement is for a term of one year after which it renews automatically for successive one year periods. Either party may terminate the agreement by providing 90 days notice. The agreement provides for annual compensation of $100,000, payable monthly. |

Stock Options. On March 23, 2006, the Committee approved the accelerated vesting, effective as of March 31, 2006, of all unvested stock options previously granted under our stock option and executive incentive compensation plans. The options affected by this accelerated vesting had exercise prices ranging from $2.79 to $16.50. As a result of the accelerated vesting, options to purchase approximately 460,000 shares became immediately exercisable. Except for the accelerated vesting, all other terms of these options remain unchanged. The Committee accelerated the vesting of options for the following directors:
Strike | ||||||||
Name | Shares | Prices | ||||||
Guillermo Amore | 1,000 | $ | 6.30 | |||||
Timothy Elwes | 1,000 | $ | 6.30 | |||||

Joseph R. Wright, Jr. | 3,000 | $ | 6.30 | |||||
21,000 | ||||||||
The options granted to our directors vest as follows: one-third of the shares vest as of the date of grant, one-third on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and one-third on the second anniversary of the date of grant. On January 21, 2005, our board of directors approved a one-time grant of additional options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock to each of our directors at an exercise price equal to $6.30 per share. These options vested 10% for each meeting attended by the respective director during the18-month period commencing on the date of grant. Any options not vested by the end of this18-month period were deemed to be forfeited by that director and cancelled. Notwithstanding the18-month term of these options, based upon our compensation committee’s approval of the accelerated vesting of all unvested options previously granted under our stock option and executive incentive compensation plans, these options vested prior to their forfeiture effective as of March 31, 2006.
The exercise price of the options is the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The exercise price is payable in cash at the time the stock options are exercised.
Other. We reimburse all directors for travel and other necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of their services we extend coverage to them under our travel accident and directors’ and officers’ indemnity insurance policies.

ITEM 14. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. |
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
On October 5, 2005, our audit committee unanimously determined to dismiss PwC as our independent registered certified public accounting firm. On October 5, 2005, we informed PwC representatives of their
28
dismissal, which became effective as of the date PwC completed its procedures on our unaudited interim financial statements as of September 30, 2005 and for the three and six month periods then ended and the quarterly report onForm 10-Q in which such unaudited interim financial statements were included. These procedures were completed on November 9, 2005.
The reports of PwC on our financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and through October 5, 2005, there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years.
During the years ended March 31, 2005, and through October 5, 2005, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) ofRegulation S-K), except as described below:
• | In accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we completed our assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2005 due to material weaknesses in our internal control related to (i) the restriction of access to key financial applications and data and controls over the custody and processing of disbursements and of customer payments received by mail, and (ii) the billing function to ensure that invoices capture all services delivered to customers and that such services are invoiced and revenue is recorded accurately and timely, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). More details on these two material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and management’s plans to remediate these weaknesses are discussed in Item 9A of our annual report onForm 10-K (Amendment No. 2), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2005, and in Item 4 of our quarterly report onForm 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. In connection with the previously described restatement of our consolidated financial statements, we determined we would restate our report on internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005 to include this additional material weakness. | |
• | On November 9, 2005, the Company filed a Current Report onForm 8-K, indicating it would restate its Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005 and its Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2004. In connection with this restatement, management determined that the following material weakness also existed as of September 30, 2005: The Company did not maintain effective controls over the accounting for and calculation of earnings per share. More details on this restatement and the additional material weakness in internal control over financial reporting can be found in Item 4.02(a) of the Company’s Current Report onForm 8-K, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2005, and in Item 4 of the Company’s Form10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. | |
• | As further discussed in Item 4 of our quarterly report onForm 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the failure of certain of our internal controls to identify certain adjustments that were required to be recorded within our quarterly report onForm 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and the fact that certain further adjustments to our calculations of the value of embedded derivatives, which necessitated the filing of an amendment to our quarterly report onForm 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, led our management to conclude that a “material weakness” existed in our internal controls with respect to these matters as of June 30, 2004. |
Management of the Company believes that this material weakness has been remediated as of March 31, 2005.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and through October 5, 2005, neither us nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted with KPMG regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) ofRegulation S-K), or a reportable event (as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) ofRegulation S-K).
