Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financi
On June 24, 2009 (the "Closing Date"), Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("we," "us," "our" or the "Company"), completed its previously
announced offering of $420,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 12.0% Senior
Secured Notes due 2017 (the "Notes"), which are guaranteed (the "Guarantees"
and, together with the Notes, the "Securities") by substantially all of the
Company's domestic subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). Additionally, the Notes are
secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets
of the Company and the Guarantors, including the pledge of 100% of all
outstanding capital stock of each of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and 65%
of all outstanding capital stock of substantially all the Company's foreign
subsidiaries (such security interests and pledges, together, the "Security
Interests"). The Securities were offered and sold in a private placement to
qualified institutional buyers in the United States in reliance on Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside
the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Securities were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated June 24, 2009 (the
"Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Indenture is described
under Item 2.03 below, which is hereby incorporated by reference in this
Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws and may not be sold except in a transaction registered under, or
exempt from, the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws. On the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantors
entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors have agreed for
the benefit of the holders of the Securities to use their best efforts to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and cause to
become effective a registration statement (the "Exchange Offer Registration
Statement") with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Securities for an
issue of the Company's senior secured notes (the "Exchange Notes") guaranteed by
the Guarantors (the "Exchange Note Guarantees" and, together with the Exchange
Notes, the "Exchange Securities") with terms identical to the Notes, except that
the Exchange Notes will not bear legends restricting transfer and will not
contain terms providing for the payment of additional interest as described
below and in the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, we have agreed to
file, in certain circumstances, a shelf registration statement covering resales
of the Securities.
If the exchange offer for the Notes is not completed on or prior to the 210th
day following the Closing Date, the interest rate on the Notes will increase by
0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period thereafter, and the amount of such
additional interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum for each
subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum of 1.0% per annum over the original
interest rate on the Notes ("Additional Interest"). Additional Interest will
also become payable if any of the following occurs: (i) our failure to file with
the Commission the Exchange Offer Registration Statement on or prior to the 90th
day following the Closing Date; (ii) our failure to file with the Commission a
shelf registration statement on or prior to the 30th day following the
occurrence of an event requiring that we file a shelf registration statement;
(iii) if on or prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date, neither the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor a shelf registration statement has
been declared effective by the Commission; (iv) if on or prior to the 210th day
following the Closing Date a shelf registration statement, if required in lieu
of Exchange Offer Registration Statement, has not been declared effective by the
Commission; or (v) if either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a
shelf registration statement that has been declared effective ceases to be
effective. Additional Interest shall cease to accrue and become payable:
(i) following our cure of any of the foregoing conditions, as applicable;
(ii) on any Exchange
Securities; (iii) on Securities that cease to be outstanding; or (iv) after the
Securities (x) become freely transferable without restriction pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act by persons that are not our affiliates
(provided that the one-year holding period specified by Rule 144(d)(1)(ii) has
been satisfied), (y) do not bear any restrictive legends and (z) do not bear a
restrictive CUSIP number.
On the Closing Date, in connection with the grant of the Security Interests
to U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral trustee (the "Collateral
Trustee"), for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, the Company and the
Guarantors entered into each of (i) that certain Security Agreement (the
"Security Agreement")with the Collateral Trustee; (ii) that certain Intellectual
Property Security Agreement with the Collateral Trustee (the "IP Security
Agreement"); and (iii) that certain Collateral Trust Agreement with the Trustee,
the Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Debt Representatives from time to
time party thereto (the "Collateral Trust Agreement"), which Collateral Trust
Agreement sets forth the terms on which the Collateral Trustee will receive,
hold, administer, maintain, enforce and distribute the proceeds of all liens on
the collateral securing the Notes and the Guarantees.
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement, Security
Agreement, IP Security Agreement and Collateral Trust Agreement is only a
summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Registration Rights Agreement, Security Agreement, IP Security Agreement and
Collateral Trust Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2,
Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K
and each of which is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On the Closing Date, we used a portion of the net proceeds received from the
issuance of the Notes to repay in full (the "Repayment") all amounts outstanding
under our $150,000,000 first lien credit agreement (the "First Lien Credit
Agreement") by and among the Company, Credit Suisse, Societe Generale and the
lenders from time to time party thereto and our $100,000,000 second lien credit
agreement (the "Second Lien Credit Agreement" and, together with the First Lien
Credit Agreement, the "Credit Agreements") among the Company and Credit Suisse,
together with all interest accrued thereon. Upon effecting the Repayment, each
of the Credit Agreements were terminated. Also terminated were the documents and
instruments related to the Credit Agreements pursuant to which we had granted
for the benefit of the lenders under the Credit Agreements a first priority
security interest, in the case of the First Lien Credit Agreement, and a second
priority security interest, in the case of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, in
substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries' assets, including a
pledge of 66% of all of the equity interests in substantially all of our foreign
subsidiaries (such related documents and instruments, the "Related Documents").
Those provision of the Credit Agreements and the Related Documents that
expressly provide for the survival of obligations thereunder will survive the
termination of such agreements.
In connection with the Repayment, we paid a 2.0% call premium in an amount
equal to approximately $2.2 million in respect of the amounts outstanding under
the Second Lien Credit Agreement. Additionally, we paid approximately
$8.4 million in connection with the termination of certain interest rate swap
agreements that we had entered into in connection with the Credit Agreements.
The Notes issued as described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K
are our general secured obligations, secured by first-priority liens on the
collateral securing the Notes and rank equal in right of payment with all of our
existing and future senior secured indebtedness that is secured on an equal
basis with the Notes. To the extent that any liens on the collateral securing
the Notes were not perfected as of the Closing Date, the Company must use its
reasonable best efforts to promptly perfect such security interests; provided
that the Company must in any event perfect such interests no later than 60 days
following the Closing Date. The Notes bear interest at 12.0% per annum, payable
on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2009.
At any time prior to June 15, 2012, we may on any one or more occasions
redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes at a redemption
price equal to 112.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, with the net cash proceeds of certain sales of our capital
stock; provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
remains outstanding immediately after such redemption, and (ii) the redemption
occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such sale of our capital
stock.
At any time prior to June 15, 2013, we may redeem all or a part of the Notes
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
redeemed plus a "make-whole" premium, or Applicable Premium (as defined in the
Indenture), as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption
date.
Additionally, on or after June 15, 2013, we may redeem all or a part of the
Notes on any one or more occasions, at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount of the notes to be redeemed) set forth below
plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable
redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 15 of
each of the years indicated below:
Year Percentage
2013 106.000 %
2014 103.000 %
2015 and thereafter 100.000 %

The terms of the Indenture generally limit our ability and the ability of our
subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) make restricted payments; (ii) incur
additional debt and issue preferred or disqualified stock; (iii) create liens;
(iv) create or permit to exist restrictions on our ability or the ability of our
restricted subsidiaries to make certain payments or distributions; (v) engage in
sale-leaseback transactions; (vi) engage in mergers or consolidations or
transfer all or substantially all of our assets; (vii) make certain dispositions
and transfers of assets; and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates.
Following the first day that the Notes are assigned an investment grade
rating by both Moody's and S&P, and provided that no default has occurred and is
continuing, certain of the restrictions described above will be suspended,
including, but not limited to, restrictions on the incurrence of debt,
restricted payments, transactions with affiliates and certain restrictions on
mergers, consolidations and sales of assets.
Pursuant to the Indenture, we may incur certain additional indebtedness,
including up to $50.0 under credit facilities that may be used for any purpose,
rank pari passu with the Notes and which may be secured by parity liens on the
collateral securing the Notes. Also, we may incur up to $75.0 million of
additional junior indebtedness for the purpose of financing the purchase price
or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment,
including the acquisition of the capital stock of an entity that becomes a
restricted subsidiary. Any or all of such $75.0 million of additional
indebtedness may be secured by parity liens on the collateral securing the
Notes, provided that our secured leverage ratio does not exceed 3:75 to 1 on a
pro-forma basis as if we had incurred such indebtedness at and as of the
beginning of our most recently completed four fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available. Irrespective of our leverage ratio, any or
all of such $75.0 million of additional indebtedness may be secured by junior
liens on the collateral securing the Notes.
Any additional indebtedness permitted by the Indenture may rank pari passu
with the Notes, provided that our fixed charge coverage ratio would have been at
least 2.0 to 1 on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the
net proceeds therefrom) as if such indebtedness had been incurred at and as of
the beginning of our most recently completed four fiscal quarters for which
internal financial statements are available.
In the event of a change in control, we will be required to commence and
consummate an offer to purchase all Notes then outstanding at a price equal to
101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest (if any), to the date of
repurchase. Additionally, if we or a Guarantor sell assets, all or a portion of
the net proceeds of which are not reinvested in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture or are not used to repay certain debt, we will be required to offer to
purchase an aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in an amount
equal to such remaining net proceeds, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Additional Interest (if
any), to the payment date.
The Indenture provides for customary events of default, which include
(subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others:
nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of covenants or other agreements in
the Indenture; defaults under or failure to pay certain other indebtedness; the
failure by us or our restricted subsidiaries to pay certain final non-appealable
judgments; the failure of certain security interests in the collateral securing
the Notes to be in full force and effect; the failure in certain instances of
any Guarantee to be in full force and effect; and certain events of bankruptcy
or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under
the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of, premium, if
any, and accrued interest on all the Notes immediately due and payable.
The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Notes is only a summary
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture
