SECTION THREE – TAG-ALONG RIGHTS

3.1. Neither of the Parties listed in items (xii) through (xxix) of the preamble of this Agreement (and therefore, except for the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties and the Joint Venturer) nor their respective successors under any title (including, with respect to the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Fund, the quotaholders of the Onshore Fund or the limited partners of the Offshore Fund, as the case may be, in the event of their dissolution or the occurrence of any event as a result of which the shares of the Onshore Fund or the Offshore Fund, as the case may be, are totally or partially given to their quotaholders or their limited partners) or assignees under any title - (each of them a “Assigning Party”) may directly or indirectly, individually or together, sell, assign, transfer, exchange, contribute to the capital stock of another Person, or otherwise sell or give in usufruct (each of these events, a “Transfer”) their respective interests - or any right in connection therewith (including usufruct and subscription rights) - direct or indirect, in Zain, Invitel, Solpart and their respective controlling shareholders (holding companies) (including, but not limited to, in the case of the BT Sale), in Argolis Holdings or Lexpart and its controlling shareholder (holding company (including, but not limited to, in the case of the Argolis Holdings Sale), and also in Daleth, Oeste, and their respective direct or indirect controlling shareholders (holding companies) (“Interest”), unless the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, are observed, pursuant to this Section Three. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following shall also be deemed a “Transfer”: (i) the Transfer of quotas of the Onshore Fund held by Previ, Rio Bogan and/or Funcef, provided that in this situation the price per share to be paid by the Potential Purchaser for each of the Direct Shares and/or the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, upon the exercise of Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares provided for in Section 3.1.1. and/or Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares provided for in Section 3.1.2, as the case may be, shall be calculated, for each of the companies composing the control chain of BT, Metrô-Rio and Sanepar, utilizing the proportion that each of such assets represents with respect to the totality of the assets of the Onshore Fund, both calculated pursuant to the same criteria set forth in the most recent assets’ market value appraisal report (laudo de avaliação de ativos a valor econômico) prepared pursuant to the provisions of CVM Ordinance (Instrução CVM) n. 438, of 07.12.2006, approved in a Quotaholders General Meeting of the Onshore Fund, and also subject to the provisions of Section 3.2.3; and (ii) the execution of any guaranty granted on the shares with voting rights of BTP by Invitel and/or Solpart, as the case may be, that results in the Transfer of such shares. Notwithstanding the provisions of this item 3.1, the following shall not be deemed a “Transfer”: (i) the event of dissolution of the Onshore Fund; (ii) the occurrence of any event as a result of the shares of the Onshore Fund are totally or partially given to their quotaholders, including, but not limited to, the event of amortization of quotas of the Onshore Fund; or (iii) the transfer, by PREVI, of the number of quotas of the Onshore Fund in excess of its legal limit (enquadramento) which, on the date hereof, is of twenty two thousand, one hundred and ninety two (22,192) quotas, representing approximately two per cent (2%) of the quotas issued by the Onshore Fund, provided that this item (iii) shall be deemed a Transfer in the event that results in a Consolidation. For the sake of clarity, the Parties hereby agree that Exhibit A contains examples of situations of price adjustments in such scenarios.

14


3.1.1. “Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares” shall be understood as the right (but not the obligation) of the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties and/or the Invitel Shareholders Parties (each of them referred to as “Direct Shares Offered Party”) to demand that, in the case of a Transfer of Interest in Zain, in Invitel or in Solpart (and/or their respective Controlling shareholders) directly or indirectly held by any Assigning Party or in the case of a Transfer of Interest held by Solpart in BTP, the respective Assigning Party includes in the Transfer respectively, (A) the nine million, eight hundred and fifty six thousand, one hundred and ninety six (9,856,196) common shares issued by BTP directly or indirectly held by the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties (the “Opportunity Direct Shares”), and (B) up to four million, nine hundred and twenty eight thousand and one hundred (4,928,100) common shares issued by BTP held by the Invitel Shareholders Parties (the “Invitel Shareholders Direct Shares”, and collectively with the Opportunity Direct Shares, referred to as “Direct Shares”) for the same price per share (subject to the adjustment described in Section 3.2.3) and under the same terms and conditions of payment. In case the Assigning Party is not Transferring the total Interest held by such Assigning Party in the respective share chain – and as long as such Transfer does not constitute any of the situations of Transfer of Control described in Section 3.2.2 –, the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares may only be exercised proportionally to what the portion that is being Transferred represents with respect to the total interest held by the Assigning Party in the capital stock of the company that issued the shares that are the subject matter of the Transfer. For the sake of clarity, the Parties hereby agree that Exhibit A contains examples of situations of exercise of the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares in different scenarios.

3.1.2. “Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares” shall be understood as the right (but not the obligation) of each of the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties, the Onshore Fund, the Pension Fund Parties, the Offshore Fund Parties and the Joint Venturer (“Holdings Shares Offered Party” and collectively with the Direct Shares Offered Parties referred to as the “Offered Parties”) to demand that, in the case of a Transfer intended by an Assigning Party, the respective Assigning Party includes in the Transfer all the Interests held by any of the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties, the Onshore Fund, the Pension Fund Parties, the Offshore Fund Parties and the Joint Venturer in each of the companies Zain, Invitel, Solpart, Argolis Holdings, Lexpart, Daleth, Oeste and their respective direct or indirect Controlling shareholders (“Holdings Shares”), as the case may be, for the same price per share (subject to the adjustment described in Section 3.2.3) and under the same terms and conditions of payment. In case the Assigning Party is not Transferring the total Interest held by such Assigning Party in the respective share chain – and as long as such Transfer does not constitute any of the situations of Transfer of Control described in Section 3.2.2 –, the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares may only be exercised proportionally to what the portion that is being Transferred represents with respect to the total interest held by the Assigning Party in the capital stock of the company that issued the shares that are the subject matter of the Transfer. For the sake of clarity, the Parties hereby agree that Exhibit A contains examples of situations of exercise of the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares in different scenarios.

15


3.1.3. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Zain is mentioned in Section 3.1, 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 only taking into consideration the acts in connection with the Corporate Reorganization are yet to be registered before the competent Board of Trade, and (ii) once those acts are registered, the Tag-Along Rights referred to herein relating to the shares issued by Zain shall be applicable to the shares issued by Invitel (and/or its successors under any title) in the capacity of successor of Zain.

3.2. Any Assigning Party may only make a Transfer of its Interest if such Assigning Party has in good faith received a proposal from a Person – whether or not this Person is a party to this Agreement – (“Potential Purchaser”) for the acquisition of such Interest (“Proposal”) and prior to such Transfer submits the Proposal, within eight (8) days counted as of the date of acceptance of the Proposal by the Assigning Party, to the Offered Parties, allowing them to exercise the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be. For that purpose, the Assigning Party shall send a written notice to the Offered Parties in connection with the proposed Transfer (“Sale Notice”), containing the following:

(i) the identification, in confidential terms, of the Potential Purchaser, as well as a representation of the Potential Purchaser stating whether or not it is an Affiliate of any of the Parties of this Agreement;

(ii) all the conditions of the Transfer of the respective Interest pursuant to the Proposal, particularly indicating the respective price, the payment currency and the other terms and conditions of the Proposal, provided that the payment shall always be made (a) in cash, (b) in securities with rating equal to or greater than B+, as determined by a first tier rating agency, as long as allowed by the investment policies of each of the other Parties; or (c) in liquid shares traded in the BOVESPA – Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo (São Paulo Stock Exchange);

16


(iii) representation by the Assigning Party - for itself and on behalf of its respective direct or indirect Controlling shareholders and Affiliates - that neither it nor any of its direct or indirect Controlling shareholders or Affiliates has received or will receive any consideration for or in connection with the sale of its Interest other than the price indicated in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.2. (ii) above;

(iv) the confirmation by the Potential Purchaser that its Proposal also includes the acquisition, under the same terms and payment conditions, of (A) the totality of the Direct Shares and/or the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, or (B) in case the Assigning Party is not Transferring the totality of the Interest held by such Assigning Party in the respective share chain – and as long as such Transfer does not constitute any of the events of Transfer of Control described in Section 3.2.2 –, part of the Direct Shares and/or the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, proportionally to what the portion that is being Transferred represents with respect to the total interest held by the Assigning Party in the capital stock of the company that issued the shares that are the subject matter of the Transfer;

(v) a joint representation signed by the Potential Purchaser and by the Assigning Party containing the individual understanding of the Potential Purchaser and the Assigning Party with respect to the price to be paid to each of the Offered Parties in the case of exercise of the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, by all the Offered Parties; and

(vi) a representation signed by the Potential Purchaser stating that it is aware of and shall be bound to, after the respective Transfer that is the subject matter of the Proposal, the terms of the present Agreement in case the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, is not exercised by any of the Offered Parties – or in case any of the Offered Parties still holds Direct Shares or Holding Shares even after any partial exercise of the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be –, becoming a party to this Agreement in the same condition of the Assigning Party, with the same rights and duties of the latter.

17


3.2.1. Within twenty (20) days counted as of the receipt of the Sale Notice (“Exercise Term”), each of the Offered Parties – and regardless of whether or not the other Offered Parties have exercised their right – shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise, at its sole discretion, the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares (if applicable) and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, by sending a notice to the Assigning Party (with copy to the other Offered Parties) informing of its intention to exercise the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares (if applicable) and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares. In such event, the Assigning Party shall be obliged to include in the proposed Transfer the Direct Shares and/or the Holding Shares owned by the Offered Party(Parties) that has(have) exercised its(their) Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares (if applicable) and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares. If the Transfer subject matter of the Proposal is not definitively contracted by the Assigning Party and by the Potential Purchaser, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, within one hundred and eighty (180) days counted as of the end of the Exercise Term, the Proposal shall be deemed terminated and the Assigning Party shall restart the procedure provided for in this Section if it maintains its intention of Transferring the Interest.

3.2.1.1. The Offered Parties may only exercise the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, if they do it with respect to the total interest, in the capital stock of the company issuer of the shares that are the subject matter of the Transfer, that falls to the Offered Party pursuant to the Proposal, subject to the proportionality rule provided for in Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 above, if applicable to the Transfer.

3.2.2. The Parties hereby agree that, in the event of any Transfer or Consolidation, through one or more acts – including, but not limited to, as a result of the exercise of any Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares – of Control, direct and/or indirect, of Zain, Invitel, Solpart, BTP, Argolis Holdings, Lexpart, Daleth and/or Oeste (“Transfer of Control”) by any of the Assigning Parties (together or individually), the Offered Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise, at its sole discretion, the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares (if applicable) and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares with respect to the totality of the Direct Shares and the totality of the Holding Shares, pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

18


3.2.2.1. In case there is series of Transfers which results in a Transfer of Control within a certain period of twenty four (24) months involving any of the Assigning Parties (together or individually), the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, may be exercised by each of the Offered Parties with respect to the totality of the Direct Shares or the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, owned by the respective Offered Party. In such case, the price to be paid for the Direct Shares and the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, shall take into consideration the weighted average value, adjusted by the CDI (rate corresponding to the accumulation of daily average rates of Interbank Deposits – DI of one (1) day, “over extra group”, calculated and published by the Clearing House for the Custody and Financial Settlement of Securities (Câmara de Liquidação e Custódia - “CETIP”), two hundred and fifty two (252) days basis, expressed in annual percentage, pursuant to the formula published at CETIP’s website) in the respective period, used in the series of Transfers that resulted in the Transfer of Control.

3.2.3. Upon each Transfer of Interest by an Assigning Party, for the purpose of determination of the equivalent price per share to be paid by the Potential Purchaser for each of the Direct Shares or the Holding Shares, as the case may be, the price proposed by the Potential Purchaser with respect to the Interest shall be adjusted by the net positions of cash, indebtedness and the percentage of interest of the companies through the corporate chain until the company(companies) in which the Offered Party holds the Direct Shares or the Holdings Shares, as the case may be.

3.2.3.1. In the case of a Consolidation resulting from the exercise of a preemptive right in a capital increase, the Potential Purchaser shall be the shareholder that has increased its interest through the exercise of the preemptive right and the price per share for the purpose of exercise of the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, shall be calculated based on the issue price established pursuant to the terms of item (iii)(c) of the definition of “Consolidation” and shall be adjusted by the net positions of cash, indebtedness and the percentage of interest of the companies through the corporate chain until the company(companies) in which the Offered Party holds the Direct Shares or the Holdings Shares, as the case may be.

19


3.2.3.2. For the sake of clarity, the Parties hereby agree that Exhibit A contains examples of situations of price adjustments in different scenarios in the cases of items 3.2.3. and 3.2.3.1.

3.2.4. The Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares applies neither to the new shares issued by BTP that are acquired after the date hereof nor to the shares currently held, directly or indirectly, that exceed the amount of nine million, eight hundred and fifty six thousand, one hundred and ninety six (9,856,196) Opportunity Direct Shares. The Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares held by the Invitel Shareholders Parties applies to the common shares currently held, directly or indirectly, by any Invitel Shareholder Party and to the new shares issued by BTP that are acquired by any Invitel Shareholder Party after the date hereof, as long as they do not exceed the total amount of four million, nine hundred and twenty eight thousand and one hundred (4,928,100) common shares issued by BTP.

3.2.5. The Parties hereby agree that any transfer made by the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties and/or by the Invitel Shareholders Parties of the respective Direct Shares, whether a partial or a total transfer, as well as any transfer by the Pension Fund Parties and/or the Onshore Fund Party of the shares issued by BTP and respectively directly held by them, shall trigger no tag-along right to any Party or Person.

3.2.5.1. The Parties hereby agree that the Transfer made by the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties of the respective Holding Shares, whether a partial or a total Transfer, shall trigger no tag-along right to any Party or Person, provided that, in this event, the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties undertake to grant the other Parties the Right of First Refusal provided for in Exhibit 3.2.5.1. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply in the case of a Transfer, whether partial or total, of the Holdings Shares to any of the Affiliates of the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties or between the Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Parties. In case there is a change of Control of this Affiliate or the assigning Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Party after the Transfer of the Holdings Shares, the other Parties (other than a Opportunity/Banco Opportunity Party) shall be granted the right to exercise the Right of First Refusal to acquire the Holdings Shares held by such assignee, pursuant to Exhibit 3.2.5.1, at the implicit price of the Holdings Shares in the change of control.

20


3.2.6. The Parties hereby agree that the Transfer made by any of the Parties to any of their Affiliates of their respective Holding Shares, whether a partial or a total Transfer, shall trigger no tag-along right to any Party or Person.

In the case of exercise the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares pursuant to this Section Three, as the case may be, the Parties hereby agree that each of the Offered Parties may effect the corporate restructurings they think proper within their Affiliates– and that include the direct or indirect sale of the Direct Shares and/or the Holding Shares – before the implementation of the Transfer. In such case, the Assigning Party and the other Parties hereby undertake (i) not to obstruct nor to challenge such restructurings, and (ii) to wait for ninety (90) days to specifically effect the Transfer of the shares held by the Party that exercised the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, and that requests the effecting of such restructuring, without prejudice to the conclusion of the Transfer of the shares held by the other Parties. The indirect sale of the Direct Shares and/or the Holdings Shares, as the case may be, resulting from a corporate restructuring provided for in this item 3.2.7, shall be previously approved by the Potential Purchaser.

3.3. The Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares are valid and effective, pursuant to the terms of article 118 of Law n. 6,404/76, for a thirty-year term counted as of the date hereof, and the Agreement is filed at the headquarters of each of the companies whose shares are the subject matter of the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Direct Shares and/or the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares, as the case may be.

3.4.

21

In the event of a secondary public offering of shares registered before the CVM, all the interested Parties shall be granted the right to effect the sale of their Holding Shares in their respective proportion of Holdings Shares.

3.5.1. For the purpose of articles 40 and 118 of Law n. 6,404/76, the Holdings Shares to be sold pursuant to Section 3.5 may be freely released and therefore shall no longer be subject to this Agreement. For that purpose, the Party interested in the release of its shares shall inform the respective issuer in writing, with copy to the other Parties, of the release of its Holdings Shares.

3.6. The performance of the provisions contained in this Section Three that grant the Tag-Along Right with Respect to the Holdings Shares to the Joint Venturer may be claimed against the Parties by the Joint Venturer, constituting third party benefits (estipulações em favor de terceiro) subject to the terms of article 436 and following articles of the Civil Code, and the Parties may not mutually release themselves from the obligations provided for in this Section Three without the written authorization of the Joint Venturer.
