We encourage you to obtain a recent market quotation for Shares in deciding whether to tender your Shares. See Section 6 – “Price Range of Shares; Dividends.” Table of Contents Have any stockholders already agreed to tender their Shares in the Offer or to otherwise support the Offer? Yes. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Cyrte Investments GP I B.V. in its capacity as general partner of CF I Invest C.V., VMware Bermuda Limited and Sun Equity Assets Limited entered into tender and support agreements with Parent and Purchaser (which we refer to collectively as the “Support Agreements”) pursuant to which such stockholders have agreed to (i) tender their Shares in the Offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Support Agreements and (ii) vote their Shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement to approve the Merger (if necessary). The Shares subject to the Support Agreements comprise approximately 27.6% of the outstanding Shares. The Support Agreements will terminate upon certain circumstances, including upon termination of the Merger Agreement. See Section 11 – “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements.” All of the directors and executive officers of Terremark have informed Terremark, strictly in their capacity as stockholders, that they intend to tender their Shares in the Offer, which Shares, according to Xxxxxxxxx, represent approximately 7% of the outstanding Shares. They are, however, under no contractual or other legal obligation to do so. What is the “Top-Up Option” and when will it be exercised? Under the Merger Agreement, if we do not acquire at least 90% of the outstanding Shares in the Offer after our acceptance of, and payment for Shares pursuant to the Offer, we have the option, subject to certain limitations, including the availability of authorized but unissued Shares, to purchase from Terremark up to a number of additional Shares equal to the number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Parent and its subsidiaries at the time of exercise of the option constitutes one (1) Share more than 90% of the outstanding Shares after giving effect to the issuance of such Shares for a purchase price equal to the Offer Price, to enable us to effect a short-form merger.

We refer to this option as the “Top-Up Option.” However, because Terremark has a limited number of Shares available for issuance under its certificate of incorporation, it is estimated that Purchaser would need to acquire in the Offer approximately 88% of the outstanding Shares in order to exercise the Top-Up Option. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Shares being purchased by Purchaser pursuant to the Top-Up Option will be payable by (i) cash in an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Option Shares and a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of such purchase price or (ii) solely by a promissory note having a principal amount equal to such purchase price. The promissory note (A) shall be due on the first (1st) anniversary of the closing of the Top-Up Option, (B) shall bear simple interest of 5% per annum, (C) shall be full recourse to Parent and Purchaser, (D) may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty and (E) shall have no other material terms. Furthermore, under the Merger Agreement, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may elect to pay for all or a portion of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Shares issued in connection with the Top-Up Option in cash and in connection therewith, Terremark will apply such cash proceeds (without the deduction of any other fee or expense) toward an optional redemption of the 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 of Terremark in the manner directed by Xxxxxx.

See Section 11 – “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements – Terremark Stock Options.” What will happen to my restricted stock in the Offer?

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Cyrte Investments GP I B.V. in its capacity as general partner of CF I Invest C.V., VMware Bermuda Limited and Sun Equity Assets Limited entered into tender and support agreements with Parent and Purchaser (which we refer to collectively as the “Support Agreements”) pursuant to which such stockholders have agreed to (i) tender their Shares in the Offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Support Agreements and (ii) vote their Shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement to approve the Merger (if necessary). The Shares subject to the Support Agreements comprise approximately 27.6% of the outstanding Shares. The Support Agreements will terminate upon certain circumstances, including upon termination of the Merger Agreement. See Section 11 – “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements.” All of the directors and executive officers of Terremark have informed Terremark, strictly in their capacity as stockholders, that they intend to tender their Shares in the Offer, which Shares, according to Xxxxxxxxx, represent approximately 7% of the outstanding Shares. They are, however, under no contractual or other legal obligation to do so. What is the “Top-Up Option” and when will it be exercised? Under the Merger Agreement, if we do not acquire at least 90% of the outstanding Shares in the Offer after our acceptance of, and payment for Shares pursuant to the Offer, we have the option, subject to certain limitations, including the availability of authorized but unissued Shares, to purchase from Terremark up to a number of additional Shares equal to the number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Parent and its subsidiaries at the time of exercise of the option constitutes one (1) Share more than 90% of the outstanding Shares after giving effect to the issuance of such Shares for a purchase price equal to the Offer Price, to enable us to effect a short-form merger.

We refer to this option as the “Top-Up Option.” However, because Terremark has a limited number of Shares available for issuance under its certificate of incorporation, it is estimated that Purchaser would need to acquire in the Offer approximately 88% of the outstanding Shares in order to exercise the Top-Up Option. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Shares being purchased by Purchaser pursuant to the Top-Up Option will be payable by (i) cash in an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Option Shares and a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of such purchase price or (ii) solely by a promissory note having a principal amount equal to such purchase price. The promissory note (A) shall be due on the first (1st) anniversary of the closing of the Top-Up Option, (B) shall bear simple interest of 5% per annum, (C) shall be full recourse to Parent and Purchaser, (D) may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty and (E) shall have no other material terms. Furthermore, under the Merger Agreement, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may elect to pay for all or a portion of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Shares issued in connection with the Top-Up Option in cash and in connection therewith, Terremark will apply such cash proceeds (without the deduction of any other fee or expense) toward an optional redemption of the 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 of Terremark in the manner directed by Xxxxxx.

The Tender and Support Agreement also provides that the Supporting Stockholders will vote their Shares against alternative corporate transactions and will not solicit or engage in discussions with third parties regarding alternative corporation transactions. The Tender and Support Agreement terminates upon the earliest of (i) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the Effective Time, (iii) the termination of the Tender and Support Agreement by written notice from Lilly or (iv) the date on which any amendment to the Merger Agreement or the Offer is effected without the Supporting Stockholders’ consent that decreases the amount, or changes the form, of consideration payable to all stockholders of ARMO pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.
