WHEREAS, the Terremark Shareholders wish to enter into this shareholder
agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to Section 607.0731 of the Florida Business

directed by Manual X. Xxxxxx;
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK. The Terremark Shareholders recognize
that the Preferred Stock must be converted to Terremark common stock prior to
the closing on the Merger Agreement and that either Terremark Holdings or the
holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to force such a conversion. The
parties also recognize that the conversion formula is based on a valuation of
the Company and differs depending upon whether conversion is at the option of
the Company or the holders and, if at the option of the Company, the reason why
it is being required. In order to avoid delay, cost and potential disagreement,
all parties hereto stipulate that, for the purposes of this document, the value
of the Company is $15,000,000, and that pursuant to paragraph E(iv) of the
statement of preferences governing the Preferred Stock, such stock shall
convert into 124,584 shares of common stock, representing 10% of the total of
all then outstanding Terremark Common Stock.
2. VOTING OF AMTEC SHARES. In any vote of the AmTec Common Stock,
whether at a meeting or by written consent, the Terremark Shareholders agree to
vote all shares of AmTec Common Stock received pursuant to the Merger Agreement
and any subsequently acquired, as directed by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx for one year
from the date of the closing on the Merger Agreement. Thereafter, any one or
more of the Terremark Shareholders can elect to remove themselves from this
voting agreement by providing ninety days written notice to all other Terremark
Shareholders.
3. BINDING NATURE. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the respective parties hereto and their successors and assigns.
Section 607.0731 of the Florida Business Corporation Act provides that this
Agreement is binding on the transferees of the parties to this Agreement,
provided that the transferee takes the AmTec Common Stock subject to this
Agreement with notice thereof. The parties hereby, and their successors and
assigns, agree to provide notice of this Agreement to any transferee prior to
any transfer of AmTec Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement shall not be binding with regard to AmTec Common Stock sold in the
ordinary course over the American Stock Exchange or on any such other exchange
on which the stock may, from time to time, be listed.
4. OTHER PROVISIONS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall

understanding of the parties regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
any and all other inconsistent or conflicting prior agreements between the
