(i) In the event that any Intellectual Property which is material to the business of such Grantor is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly notify the Collateral Agent after it learns thereof and take such action as such Grantor deems appropriate to remedy such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution. 4.10 VEHICLES.

(a) Such Grantor agrees to take such action as the Collateral Agent or the Majority Holders may from time to time reasonably require in order to protect or preserve its interests in respect of the Authorization Rights; (b) In the event the Collateral Agent delivers to the Company the notice referred to in Section 2.2(a) requiring the Authorization Rights to be included in the Collateral, such Grantor shall deliver to ANATEL a request for each required Authorization of the pledge of the Authorization Rights created herein, such request being in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Majority Holders; (c) Such Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, grant or permit to exist any assignment, sale or transfer of, or Lien over or in connection with, any of the Authorization Rights, except pursuant to this Agreement; (d) Such Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, vary, amend, modify or terminate any Authorization Rights Agreement in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of any Authorization Rights or the ability or capacity of such Grantor to perform its obligations hereunder, except to the extent required by ANATEL pursuant to the exercise of its authority under Applicable Law; (e) Such Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, consent to any act or omission by ANATEL or any instrumentality thereof which would constitute a material breach under any Authorization Rights Agreement, to the extent that any such act or omission could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of any Authorization Rights or the ability or capacity of such Grantor to perform its obligations hereunder; and (f) Such Grantor shall not, without giving prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee: (i) release ANATEL from any material obligation under, or waive any material breach by ANATEL of, any Authorization Rights Agreement; or (ii) settle or compromise any material claim arising out of or in connection with any Authorization Rights Agreement. 4.12 COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. (a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, each Grantor (other than ITSA Cayman and Sub Inc.) will establish with a bank located in Brazil satisfactory to the Majority Holders (collectively, the "COLLATERAL ACCOUNT BANK") a cash collateral account (collectively, the "COLLATERAL ACCOUNT"), in the name of such Grantor, and (except as provided in paragraph (b) below) under the joint control of the Collateral Agent and such Grantor, into which there shall be deposited (i) the Net Proceeds (consisting of cash and Cash Equivalents) received in respect of any Collateral sold by such Grantor pursuant to an Asset Sale, (ii) any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, resulting from a Loss Event suffered by such Grantor, required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Indenture and (iii) any Proceeds of the Collateral transferred from the Concentration Account of such Grantor after the issuance of a Default Notice in accordance with the provisions 25 of Section 4.15. Any income received with respect to the balance from time to time standing to the credit of any Collateral Account, including any interest, shall remain, or be deposited, in such Collateral Account. All right, title and interest in and to the cash amounts on deposit from time to time in each Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral hereunder but shall not constitute payment of the Secured Obligations until applied thereto as hereinafter provided. (b) The balance from time to time standing to the credit of each Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only pursuant to written instructions to the Collateral Account Bank signed by both the Collateral Agent acting upon the instructions of the Majority Holders and the applicable Grantor, which together shall have dominion and control over such account; PROVIDED that, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have sole dominion and control over such account, and requests for withdrawals therefrom will require only the signature of the Collateral Agent acting upon the instructions of the Majority Holders. The balance from time to time standing to the credit of each Collateral Account shall be applied in the manner specified in paragraph (c) below. (c) The Net Proceeds (consisting of cash and Cash Equivalents) received in respect of any Collateral sold pursuant to an Asset Sale, and any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, resulting from a Loss Event shall be applied only in the manner and for the purposes described in Section 4.10(b) of the Indenture. In connection with any request by any Grantor to use proceeds on deposit in any Collateral Account, the Company or other applicable Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the intended use of such proceeds, an officer's certificate signed by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or treasurer of the Company or of such other Grantor, describing the transaction or transactions in which such proceeds are intended to be applied and certifying that such use is permitted under the Indenture. Upon receipt of a certificate complying with the foregoing, and provided no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent and the applicable Grantor will, pursuant to their joint written instructions given to the Collateral Account Bank, cause to be withdrawn from the Collateral Account and paid to the applicable Grantor or for its account in accordance with such Grantor's instructions the proceeds to be so applied. (d) Cash on deposit in each Collateral Account shall be invested in Cash Equivalents from time to time in accordance with the applicable Grantor's written instructions; PROVIDED that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such instructions shall be given by the Collateral Agent acting upon the instructions of the Majority Holders. (e) The procedures relating to the administration of each Collateral Account will be set forth in greater detail in an agreement or agreements to be entered into as soon as practicable after the Effective Date among the applicable Grantor, the applicable Collateral Account Bank and the Collateral Agent in form reasonably satisfactory to such parties which is consistent in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 4.12. 26 4.13 REGISTRATION. Within 20 days after the execution hereof, this Agreement shall be registered by the applicable Grantors with the competent Registry of Titles and Deeds for each city listed on Schedule 18 at the expense of the Grantors, all in accordance with Article 130 of Law 6.015 of December 31, 1973. 4.14 AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY. The Grantors will amend the Schedules hereto from time to time as provided in this Section to include any additional assets or property acquired after the Effective Date. With respect to SCHEDULE 2, such update shall be made monthly as of the last Business Day of each month beginning after the date the Company is first required to provide a revised, updated SCHEDULE 2 to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.8(b). With respect to SCHEDULES 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 13, 14 AND 15, such updates shall be made quarterly as of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter beginning after the Effective Date. With respect to SCHEDULE 3, such update shall be made quarterly as of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter beginning after the date the Collateral Agent notifies the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(a) that the Authorization Rights are required to be included in the Collateral. The Company will deliver to the Collateral Agent each updated Schedule within ten (10) days after the monthly or quarterly date as of which such Schedule is required to be updated and will cause the same, along with any other required documents, to be registered with the relevant Registry of Title and Deeds within ten (10) days after such delivery date in order to perfect the security interest in such additional Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and will provide evidence of such registration to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee promptly thereafter. Nothing herein will limit the Collateral Agent's right to require the Company to provide more frequent updates of the Schedules if the Collateral Agent reasonably determines that its security interests are unperfected with respect to a material portion of the Collateral. 4.15 CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO ACCOUNTS. (a) The Collateral Agent and the Majority Holders shall have the right to make such test verifications of the Accounts as they may reasonably consider advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Agent or the Majority Holders may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time, upon the Collateral Agent's request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts. (b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, each Grantor will enter into a Concentration Account Agreement with the Collateral Agent and a Concentration Account Bank and will cause all amounts received by it from its customers or otherwise in respect of its Accounts to be paid into or transferred to the specified Concentration Account at such Concentration Account Bank as provided in Section 4.8 and the Concentration Account Agreement. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Grantor will have the right of withdrawal from its respective Concentration Account and will be entitled to give all instructions to its respective Concentration Account Bank regarding the operation of such Concentration Account and use of the funds therein so long as such use and operation comply with the terms of the Indenture and the Concentration Account Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs and is 27 continuing, upon the instructions of the Majority Holders, the Collateral Agent will issue a Default Notice to each Concentration Account Bank and thereby assume dominion and control over each Concentration Account. Each Grantor agrees that, if a Default Notice is issued, the Collateral Agent alone shall have the power of withdrawal from each Concentration Account and acknowledges that, while such Default Notice is in effect, the Grantors shall not have any right, title or interest in the Concentration Accounts or the amounts at any time appearing to the credit of the Concentration Accounts. Each Concentration Account Bank shall agree, after the issuance of a Default Notice, to remit all proceeds of such payments deposited in the Concentration Accounts directly to the Collateral Agent for deposit into the Collateral Account of the applicable Grantor or as the Collateral Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Majority Holders, may otherwise instruct such Concentration Account Bank. All such payments made to the Collateral Agent shall be deposited in the Collateral Account of the applicable Grantor or in such other account as the Collateral Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Majority Holders, may otherwise designate. Each Concentration Account Agreement will provide for delivery by the applicable Grantor of powers of attorney in favor of representatives of the Collateral Agent to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise dominion and control over each Concentration Account upon the issuance of a Default Notice under the applicable Concentration Account Agreement. (c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Agent's request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, or provide the Collateral Agent with access to, all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Accounts, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts. (d) Upon written notice given by the Collateral Agent to each Concentration Account Bank to the effect that all Events of Default have ceased, been cured or been waived, each Grantor's respective rights to give all instructions regarding the operation of the Concentration Accounts and the use of the funds therein will be reinstated. 4.16 VISITATION RIGHTS. The Collateral Agent (and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any other Secured Party), or any agents or representatives thereof (or of the other Secured Parties after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default), will have the right at any time during normal business hours and, if an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, upon prior notice to the Company, to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of, and visit the properties of, the Grantors, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Grantors with any of their officers or directors and with their independent certified public accountants. 4.17 COMMUNICATIONS WITH OBLIGORS; GRANTORS REMAIN LIABLE. (a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of the Secured Parties may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default communicate with obligors under the Accounts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent's satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts. 28 (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 5.1 PLEDGED STOCK. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent's intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to paragraph (b) below, the Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments and other distributions made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Restricted Subsidiary and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Indenture, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or other action taken which, in the Collateral Agent's reasonable judgment, would materially impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any material violation of any provision of this Agreement. (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of Section 5.7 hereof, and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to require that any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Restricted Subsidiary, or upon the exercise by the Company or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the 29 right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Person to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to exercise all the rights and powers conferred by articles 774, III of the Brazilian Civil Code, and may sell or cause to be sold all or any part of the Investment Property at public auction or private sale, at the best price obtainable by the Collateral Agent or its duly-appointed agent or assignee, as applicable, in good faith and exercising the same degree of diligence as a prudent owner would do, all in accordance with Section 5.5 below, and otherwise subject to Applicable Law. (d) The Grantors hereby authorize and instruct each Restricted Subsidiary which has issued any Investment Property pledged by any Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default or a Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from any Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each such Restricted Subsidiary shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) after receipt of notice from the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent. 5.2 NET PROCEEDS TO BE TURNED OVER TO COLLATERAL AGENT. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 4.15 with respect to payments of Accounts, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account (or by a Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.3. 5.3 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon its receipt of instructions from the Majority Holders, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds held in the Collateral Account or any Concentration Account in payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 5.7 and any part of such funds which are not applied and not required as collateral security for the Secured Obligations shall, upon request, be paid over from time to time by the Collateral Agent to the Company or other applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the 30 Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full shall be paid over to the Company or other applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. 5.4 AUTHORIZATION RIGHTS. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall cause all amounts payable to it from time to time under or in respect of its Authorization Rights to be paid directly to the Collateral Account. Each Grantor agrees that, if for any reason it receives any such amount in any other manner or place, such amount shall be forthwith deposited by such Grantor into the Collateral Account. 5.5 CODE AND OTHER REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under Brazilian law or any other Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Collateral Agent, or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the Net Proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.5, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 5.7, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. Notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be given to each Grantor at least ten (10) Business Days before such sale or other disposition. Such notice, (a) in case of public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale, (b) in the case of sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion 31 thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (c) in the case of private sale, shall state the principal terms of the proposed private sale (including price, payment terms and proposed purchaser). Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times during ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent or its assignee may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such public or private sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent or its assignee may determine. The Collateral Agent or its assignee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so or if it shall not have been so instructed by the Majority Holders, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given. 5.6 SALE OF PLEDGED STOCK. (a) The Grantors recognize that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in Law 6.385 of December 7, 1976, as amended, and complementary legislation and that the Collateral Agent may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantors acknowledge and agree that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the relevant Restricted Subsidiary to register such securities for public sale under Law 6.385 of December 7, 1976, as amended, and complementary legislation, or under other applicable securities laws, even if such Restricted Subsidiary would agree to do so. (b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights hereunder valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other Applicable Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of the foregoing covenant will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that the foregoing covenant shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenant except for a defense that no Event of Default or Default has occurred under the Indenture. 5.7 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds (including without limitation all Proceeds of the Collateral) received by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party hereunder or under any other Security Document, the Indenture, the Senior Notes or otherwise in connection with the exercise of remedies under any of the foregoing, shall be applied to the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority: (1) FIRST, to pay fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7.4 or otherwise; 32 (2) SECOND, to pay fees and expenses of the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.4 and other amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.7 of the Indenture; (3) THIRD, to pay fees and expenses of the holders of the Senior Notes pursuant to Section 7.4; (4) FOURTH, to pay accrued interest on the Senior Notes; (5) FIFTH, to pay principal of the Senior Notes; (6) SIXTH, to pay any remaining Secured Obligations; and (7) SEVENTH, the balance, if any, to the applicable Grantor. 5.8 WAIVER; DEFICIENCY. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency. SECTION 6. THE COLLATERAL AGENT 6.1 COLLATERAL AGENT'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT, ETC. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and which such Grantor has failed to take or exercise when required hereunder, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; 33 (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent's and the Secured Parties' security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.5 or 5.6, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and (v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's, and the Secured Parties' security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. (vi) For the purposes of any Investment Property, to perform all necessary acts and to execute and deliver any instrument before any Authority, including, without limitation, CVM and ANATEL, and any stock exchange in case of public sale, and to execute all documents required for the transfer and assignment of any Investment Property sold. 34 (vii) For purposes of any Authorization Rights, to represent such Grantor before any third party or Authority, to act, and to sign any agreement, instrument or document, in the name of and on behalf of such Grantor in order to give effect to the security interests created pursuant to this Agreement, if, within fifteen (15) days after notice from the Collateral Agent or the Majority Holders, such Grantor fails to do so. Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing. (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. (c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to 13% (thirteen percent), from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand. (d) All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 6.2 DUTY OF COLLATERAL AGENT. The Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall not be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent's and the Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own or their employees', agents' directors' or assigns' gross negligence or willful misconduct. 6.3 FILINGS AND RECORDINGS FOR PERFECTION OF SECURITY Interests. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent duly appointed by it) to file or record with the relevant Authority in Brazil and to make other filings or recordings of documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of 35 such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable or responsible for compliance with any amendments or changes to Brazilian law in the absence of specific instruction received by it from the Majority Holders as to any required actions necessary in order to comply therewith. 6.4 AUTHORITY OF COLLATERAL AGENT. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting from or arising out of this Agreement shall, as among the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties and the Grantors, be governed by the Collateral Agency Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as among the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS 7.1 AMENDMENTS IN WRITING. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent, PROVIDED that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent. 7.2 NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be addressed at its notice address set forth on SCHEDULE 1. 7.3 NO WAIVER BY COURSE OF CONDUCT; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 36 7.4 ENFORCEMENT EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Company and the Guarantors would be required to do so pursuant to the Indenture, except for amounts arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, or its agents, employees, directors or assigns. (d) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Company and the Guarantors would be required to do so pursuant to the Indenture, except for amounts arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Parties, or their agents, employees, directors or assigns.

The Collateral Agent and each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof. The rights of the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party under this Section 7.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party may have. (b) If any Secured Party (a "benefitted Secured Party") at any time shall receive any payment of all or part of its Secured Obligations, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off pursuant to paragraph (a) above or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Secured Party, if any, in respect of such other Secured Party's Secured Obligations, such benefitted Secured Party shall purchase for cash from the other Secured Parties such portion of such other Secured Party's Secured Obligations, or shall provide such other Secured Parties with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Secured Party to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Secured Parties; and if after taking into account such sharing the benefitted Secured Party continues to have access to additional funds of or collateral granted by the Grantors for application on account of the Secured Obligations, then the benefitted Secured Party shall use such funds or collateral to reduce indebtedness of the Company held by it and share such payments and the benefits of the collateral with the other Secured Parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Secured Party, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Grantors agree that each Secured Party so purchasing a portion of another Secured Party's Secured Obligations may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Secured Party were the direct holder of such portion. 7.7 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 7.8 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 38 7.9 SECTION HEADINGS.
