Preliminary Statement

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) filed by Telemar Participações S.A. (“TmarPart”) and Valverde Participações S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TmarPart (“Valverde,” and together with TmarPart, the “Reporting Persons”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 27, 2009 (the “Initial 13D”) by TmarPart, Tele Norte Leste Participações S.A. (“TNL”), Telemar Norte Leste S.A. (“Telemar”) and Coari Participações S.A. (“Coari”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2012 by the Reporting Persons, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 8, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 3”, the Initial 13D as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and as further amended by this Amendment, this “Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2014 by the Reporting Persons, by furnishing the information set forth below. Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment, all previous Items are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Initial 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3.

On February 19, 2014, amendments to the Shareholders’ Agreements of TmarPart were signed, establishing the commitment of the shareholders of TmarPart to exercise their voting rights in TmarPart, and also for their representatives on the Boards of Directors of Oi S.A. (“Oi”) and TmarPart to exercise their rights to vote, in order to approve the Business Combination as well as agreements to terminate these Shareholders’ Agreements upon the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, Portugal Telecom, Caravelas Fundo de Investimento em Ações (“Caravelas”), an investment vehicle managed by Banco BTG Pactual S.A., Bratel, TmarPart, Andrade Gutierrez S.A. (“AGSA”) and Jereissati Telecom S.A. entered into a Temporary Voting Agreement to take all the actions required for among other things, the effective completion of the Merger of Shares.

As part of the Business Combination, on May 5, 2014, Oi completed a share capital increase (the “Oi Capital Increase”), pursuant to which Portugal Telecom subscribed for the newly-issued shares of Oi through the contribution by Portugal Telecom to Oi of all of the shares of PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A. (“PT Portugal”), which, at the time of the transfer, owned all of (i) Portugal Telecom’s operational assets, except direct and indirect interests held in Oi, Contax Participações S.A. and Bratel, BV and (ii) Portugal Telecom’s liabilities as of the date of contribution. The assets of PT Portugal as of the date of the contribution of PT Portugal by Portugal Telecom to Oi in the Oi Capital Increase included an investment in commercial paper in the aggregate amount of €897 million issued by Rio Forte Investments S.A. (“Rio Forte”). In July 2014, the cure period for payment of the commercial paper held by PT Portugal and Portugal Telecom International Finance B.V. (“PTIF”) (together, the “Oi Subsidiaries”) expired without this commercial paper having been paid.

As a result, on July 14, 2014, Oi and Portugal Telecom entered into a memorandum of understanding (“Second MOU”) to establish the basis of an agreement between them in relation to the commercial paper of Rio Forte (the “Securities”). The parties agreed that the principal documents would be an exchange agreement, pursuant to which Oi would exchange the Securities for Common Shares and Oi preferred shares held by Portugal Telecom (the “Exchange Agreement”), and a call option agreement, pursuant to which Oi would grant to Portugal Telecom an option to purchase Oi shares in the same amount and type as the exchanged shares (the “Call Option Agreement”, together with the Exchange Agreement, the “Definitive Agreements”).

On September 8, 2014, an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Portugal Telecom approved the execution by Portugal Telecom of the Definitive Agreements. The Definitive Agreements were executed on September 8, 2014.

As a result of the transactions contemplated in the Definitive Agreements, the agreements entered into on February 19, 2014 were amended to provide for, among other things: (i) the extension of deadlines for the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the elimination of references to the abandoned merger of Portugal Telecom into TmarPart; and (iii) the limitation of voting rights of Portugal Telecom in the by-laws of TmarPart to a maximum of 7.5% (the “Business Combination Agreements”).

The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment to revise information previously reported in light of the approval and execution of the Definitive Agreements and the Business Combination Agreements.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 of Amendment No. 3 is amended to add the following paragraphs:

Definitive Agreements Implementing the Second MOU

The Definitive Agreements are intended to permit the parties to proceed with the implementation of the Business Combination, including the Merger of Shares, with the necessary adjustments.

The Exchange Agreement among the Oi Subsidiaries, Portugal Telecom, Oi and TmarPart provides for an exchange pursuant to which Portugal Telecom will acquire the Securities from the Oi Subsidiaries and, in exchange, Portugal Telecom will transfer to the Oi Subsidiaries the Exchanged Shares (defined below) and (2) the Call Option Agreement among the Oi Subsidiaries, Portugal Telecom, Oi and TmarPart provides that the Oi Subsidiaries will grant Portugal Telecom a call option to purchase Common Shares and Oi preferred shares of the same number and class as the Exchanged Shares (or upon completion of the Merger of Shares, common shares of TmarPart) (the “Call Option”).

Exchange Agreement

The Exchange Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions described under “Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement” below, the Oi Subsidiaries and Portugal Telecom will effect the Exchange, whereby the Oi Subsidiaries will transfer the Securities to Portugal Telecom and Portugal Telecom will transfer to the Oi Subsidiaries an aggregate of 474,348,720 Common Shares and 948,697,440 Oi preferred shares, representing 16.9% of the outstanding share capital of Oi, including 17.1% of the outstanding voting capital of Oi prior to giving effect to the Exchange (or in the event that the completion of the Exchange occurs following the Merger of Shares, 1,348,193,932 common shares of TmarPart) (collectively, the “Exchanged Shares”).

The Exchange of the Exchanged Shares for the Securities is expected to occur no later than three business days after all the conditions set forth under “Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement” below have been satisfied. The Exchange Agreement may be terminated by Portugal Telecom and/or by Oi and TmarPart if the Exchange does not occur by March 31, 2015.

The Exchange Agreement further provides that once the Exchange has been consummated, Oi, TmarPart and the Oi Subsidiaries will grant Portugal Telecom and its directors a release in relation to the subscription for or acquisition of the Securities and their later contribution to Oi in the Oi Capital Increase, as well as an express waiver by Oi and the Oi Subsidiaries of any right to file a claim or to claim indemnification (with the express and exclusive exception of claims relating to the right of recourse against Portugal Telecom with respect to third-party claims) by virtue of the Securities and their contribution to Oi in the Oi Capital Increase or any omissions or incomplete information related specifically to the Securities, their situation and the risks involved.

The Exchange Agreement is governed by Brazilian law, and any dispute with respect to the Exchange Agreement is to be resolved through arbitration in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil before an arbitration panel administered by the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce.

Call Option Agreement

Pursuant to the Call Option Agreement, Oi and the Oi Subsidiaries have granted to Portugal Telecom (subject to the condition described under “Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement” below) a nontransferable Call Option to acquire the Exchanged Shares (collectively, the “Option Shares”). The total number of Option Shares is subject to adjustment to reflect any split or reverse split of shares of Oi or TmarPart, as applicable.

Portugal Telecom will be entitled to exercise the Call Option, in whole or in part, at any time, during a period of six years from the date of the consummation of the Exchange (the “Closing Date”). The original number of Option Shares that Portugal Telecom is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Call Option will be reduced (1) by 10% of the

 

5


original number of Option Shares upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (2) by 18% of the original number of Option Shares on each successive anniversary of the Closing Date thereafter, beginning on the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Call Option exercise price will be R$1.8529 per Oi preferred share and R$2.0104 per Common Share (and, if applicable, R$2.0104 per common share issued by TmarPart), in each case adjusted by the Brazilian Interbank Certificate of Deposit (Certificado de Depósito Interbancário) rate plus 1.5% per annum, calculated pro rata, from the date of the Exchange and through the date of effective payment of the exercise price, in whole or in part, of the Call Option. The exercise price of the Call Option must be paid in cash, in immediately available funds, on the date of the transfer of the Option Shares.

The Call Option Agreement further provides for a possibility of settlement in cash by the grantors, in the event that, upon exercise of the Call Option by Portugal Telecom, the Oi Subsidiaries and/or any other subsidiary of Oi do not hold in treasury a sufficient number of Oi shares or TmarPart shares, as applicable, to deliver to Portugal Telecom. In such case, the Call Option may be settled by payment in cash by the Oi Subsidiaries to Portugal Telecom of an amount corresponding to the difference between the market price for the Option Shares on the business day immediately preceding the exercise of the Call Option and the applicable exercise price corresponding to those shares.

So long as the Call Option is in effect, Portugal Telecom will be precluded from acquiring Oi shares or TmarPart shares, directly or indirectly, other than through the exercise of the Call Option. Portugal Telecom may not assign or transfer the Call Option and may not grant any rights associated with the Call Option, including any guarantees, without Oi’s consent, except that Portugal Telecom may make a one-time assignment to a subsidiary of Portugal Telecom at least 99% of the voting and share capital of which is held by Portugal Telecom, and so long as Portugal Telecom remains jointly and severally liable under the Call Option Agreement with the subsidiary. If Portugal Telecom issues, directly or indirectly, derivative instruments indexed, backed by or related to shares of Oi or TmarPart, it must immediately use all the financial proceeds received, directly or indirectly, in these transactions for the acquisition of Option Shares.

Oi may terminate the Call Option if (1) the bylaws of Portugal Telecom are voluntarily amended to delete or amend the provision that limits the voting rights of any shareholder to 10% of the total voting rights of Portugal Telecom, (2) Portugal Telecom begins to compete with Oi; or (3) Portugal Telecom breaches certain obligations under the Call Option Agreement.

The Call Option Agreement is governed by Brazilian law, and any dispute with respect to the Call Option Agreement is to be resolved through arbitration in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil before an arbitration panel administered by the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce.

As further detailed under “Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement” below, the Call Option will automatically expire if the Exchange is not implemented by March 31, 2015.

Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement

The execution of the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement required the approval of (1) the board of directors of Portugal Telecom, which approved the terms and conditions of the Definitive Agreements on July 28, 2014 and approved the proposal submitted to the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting of Portugal Telecom on August 13, 2014, (2) the shareholders of Portugal Telecom, which approved Definitive Agreements at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting on September 8, 2014 and (3) the board of directors of Oi, which approved Definitive Agreements on September 8, 2014.

As a condition to the execution of the Exchange Agreement, the following matters were also approved by a pre-meeting (reunião prévia) of the shareholders of TmarPart held on September 3, 2014: (1) if feasible, the listing of TmarPart on the BM&FBovespa, the Euronext Lisbon and the New York Stock Exchange so as to allow the implementation of an alternative structure for integrating the shareholder bases of Portugal Telecom and TmarPart after the Merger of Shares, (2) amendments to the bylaws of TmarPart to include a limitation of 7.5% on the voting

 

6


rights applicable to (a) Portugal Telecom, and (b) any other shareholder who receives a percentage interest in TmarPart greater than 15% of TmarPart’s share capital due to any future integration of the shareholder bases of Portugal Telecom and TmarPart, excluding any shares of TmarPart already held by that shareholder or that are acquired through other means, and (3) the amendments to the shareholders’ agreements, the temporary voting agreement and the agreements relating to the termination of the shareholders’ agreements of TmarPart, all of which were entered into on February 19, 2014, as further described under “Amendments to the Business Combination Agreements” of Item 6 below.

In addition to the corporate approvals described above and the execution of the Definitive Agreements, the completion of the Exchange and the effectiveness of the Call Option are further subject to the approval of the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários, or “CVM”), of (1) the receipt of the Exchanged Shares by the Oi Subsidiaries, (2) the maintenance in treasury of a number of Oi shares (and, after the Merger of Shares, of TmarPart shares) equivalent to the maximum number of Exchanged Shares, and (3) the grant of the Call Option by the Oi Subsidiaries to Portugal Telecom for a number of Oi shares (and, after the Merger of Shares, of TmarPart shares) equivalent to the maximum number of Exchanged Shares. In accordance with the terms set forth in the Definitive Agreements, if CVM approval cannot be obtained by March 31, 2015, the Exchange will not be consummated and the Call Option will not become effective.

As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 2, the Global Shareholders’ Agreement, the Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement, the PASA Shareholders’ Agreement and the EDSP75 Shareholders’ Agreement were amended on February 19, 2014. As amended, the agreements provided that the parties thereto agreed to exercise their voting rights to approve each step of the Business Combination and addressed the consequences in the event that the Business Combination or any of its steps is not be completed by December 31, 2014.

In addition, on February 19, 2014, the parties to each of the shareholders’ agreements described above entered into agreements to terminate each such shareholders’ agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent relating to the several steps of the Business Combination, including the completion of the Portugal Telecom Merger. On the same date, Portugal Telecom executed a temporary voting agreement with Caravelas, Bratel, TmarPart, AG, Jereissati and, as intervening party, Oi, whereby the parties thereto agreed to, among other things, (1) vote in favor of the Merger of Shares and (2) vote in favor of the Portugal Telecom Merger. The temporary voting agreement was to remain in effect until the earlier of the Portugal Telecom Merger and December 31, 2014.

At the pre-meeting (reunião prévia) of the shareholders of TmarPart held on September 3, 2014, the shareholders of TmarPart decided to amend the Business Combination Agreements as initially described in Amendment No. 2, as follows:

 

    in the amendments to the shareholder’s agreements described above, all references to the Portugal Telecom Merger were deleted, and any undertakings in the shareholders’ agreements of TmarPart relating specifically to the Portugal Telecom Merger will no longer apply. In addition, the cut-off date for the completion of the remaining steps of the Business Combination was extended until March 31, 2015;

 

    in the amendments to the agreements to terminate the shareholders’ agreements of TmarPart, all references to the Portugal Telecom Merger as a condition to the termination of the shareholders’ agreements have been deleted. As a result, effectiveness will be conditioned only upon the completion of the Merger of Shares; and

 

    the temporary voting agreement referred to above was also amended, among other things, to (1) exclude the Exchanged Shares from the scope of its provision that restricts any transfers of shares of Oi and/or TmarPart, (2) extend the cut-off date for calling the extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of Oi which will resolve on the merger of Bratel Brasil into Oi and the Merger of Shares to February 28, 2015 (instead of 60 days as from completion of the Oi Capital Increase) and (3) delete all references to (including specific undertakings relating to) the Portugal Telecom Merger and instead include an additional covenant to pursue the objective of integrating the shareholder bases of Portugal Telecom and TmarPart despite the fact that the merger of Portugal Telecom with and into TmarPart will no longer occur.

The description of the amendments to the Business Combination Agreements above is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the amendments themselves, which are filed as Exhibits 99.6, 99.8, 99.12, 99.14 and 99.16 to this Amendment and are incorporated herein by reference.

On September 8, 2014, Portugal Telecom, Oi and TmarPart executed a Terms of Commitment agreement (the “Terms of Commitment”) that contains certain undertakings to enable the parties to pursue the objective of integrating the shareholder bases of Oi and Portugal Telecom.

Under the Terms of Commitment, the parties agree to use best efforts to obtain the listing of TmarPart’s shares on the NovoMercado segment of the BM&FBovespa, Euronext Lisbon and the New York Stock Exchange concurrently with the approval of the Merger of Shares by the shareholders of Oi and TmarPart. In addition, the parties agree to perform any acts, provide any required information, prepare all necessary documentation and file all necessary filings with all appropriate governmental authorities to implement these listings and the integration of the shareholder bases of Oi and Portugal Telecom, including, among other things, the preparation and filing of any prospectuses and registration statements with the CVM, the CMVM and the SEC.

In addition, Oi, in its capacity as shareholder of Portugal Telecom, undertakes to attend any meeting of the shareholders of Portugal Telecom specifically convened to consider legally permissible alternative structures to the Portugal Telecom Merger proposed by Portugal Telecom and to vote in favor of the proposed structure, to the extent such vote is not contrary to Oi’s legitimate interests.

If PT SGPS breaches any of its representations, warranties, commitments or obligations as established in this Agreement, PT SGPS agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Oi, PT Finance, PT Holding and/or CorpCo harmless against any damages or restrictions of rights suffered by them, resulting or arising from such breach. Without limiting the provisions of Clause 5 below, and subject to Closing, PT SGPS shall further hold Oi, PT Finance, PT Holding and/or CorpCo harmless and defend them against any loss (including costs, interest and penalties, as well as reasonable legal fees) or liability (together, “Loss”) of any kind arising, directly or indirectly, from holding the Securities and their transfer pursuant to the Exchange.

4.2 Indemnification by Oi, PT Finance, PT Holding and CorpCo. If Oi, PT Finance, PT Holding and/or CorpCo breach any of their respective representations, warranties, commitments or obligations as established in this Agreement, Oi, PT Finance, PT Holding and/or CorpCo agree to indemnify, defend and hold PT SGPS harmless against any damages or restrictions of rights suffered by PT SGPS, resulting or arising from such breach. Subject to Closing, Oi and CorpCo shall further hold PT SGPS harmless and defend it against any Loss of any kind arising, directly or indirectly, from PT SGPS’s contingent or absolute tax or anti-trust obligations in relation to the assets contributed in the Oi Capital Increase and from PT SGPS’s management activities, with reference to acts

or triggering events occurring on or prior to May 5, 2014, including those disclosed in the data room in preparation for the Global Offering, reported in the Global Offering documentation, including the obligations contemplated by or arising from the agreements referred to in the Global Offering documentation, but expressly excluding any obligation to indemnify for any Losses incurred by PT SGPS as a result of the financial investments in the Securities and the acquisition of the Securities pursuant to the Exchange.

4.3 Indemnification Procedure. For the purposes of this Clause 4, the Party claiming indemnification for Losses (the “Indemnifiable Party”), including due to a claim issued by a governmental authority or a third party that could constitute an indemnifiable Loss (a “Third-Party Claim”), shall notify in writing the Party responsible for the indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) with respect to such claim or Third-Party Claim. In the event of a Third-Party Claim, the notice shall be given within the first 1/3 (third) of the legal period for presenting a defense or possible motion against such claim (“Defense”), provided however that if the legal period for Defense is 5 (five) days or less, such notice shall be given within the first half of the legal period for the Defense. The Indemnifying Party shall assume the Defense of the Third-Party Claim, appointing lawyers of its choice, bearing all the costs arising therefrom, and shall provide the necessary guarantees (or shall replace any such guarantee already provided by the Indemnifiable Party) to present or assume the Defense. The Indemnifiable Party shall provide such information and documents as the Indemnifying Party reasonably requests for conducting the Defense. The Indemnifiable Party shall also have the right monitor the progress of the Third-Party Claim, at its own expense and cost, and such Indemnifiable Party shall also be entitled to appoint its own counsel to accompany the defense conducted by the Indemnifying Party. Subject to Closing, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately assume the defense of any Third-Party Claims brought against the Indemnified Party that could generate Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible in accordance with this Clause 4, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the related costs and arrange for the replacement of any guarantees provided hitherto by the Indemnified Party in the context of the applicable Defense. The indemnification for Losses provided for in this Clause shall be paid within 10 (ten) days of the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice from the Indemnifiable Party of the documents evidencing the Loss incurred, including from any final decision, not subject to appeal, relating to the Loss, as applicable.

CLAUSE 5

RELEASE

5.1 Release. Subject to the Closing, in the form set forth herein, PT Finance, PT Holding, CorpCo and Oi grant a, upon completion of the Exchange, full, irreducible, general and irrevocable release to PT SGPS, and to the administrators of PT SGPS, in relation to the making of the financial investments in the Securities and their subsequent contribution to Oi in the context of the Oi Capital Increase, acknowledging that they have

 

6


nothing to claim in the present, past or future in this respect, on any grounds, including omissions or incomplete information relating specifically to the Securities, their situation and the risks involved, subject only to the provisions of Clause 5.2.1.

5.2 Waiver of PT Finance, PT Holding, CorpCo and Oi. Subject to the Closing and notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 8.4, PT Finance, PT Holding, CorpCo and Oi expressly and definitively waive any right to suit, claim, annulment, specific performance, of giving, doing or not doing, redress or indemnification (with the express and exclusive exception of the right of recourse against PT SGPS under the terms of Clause 5.2.1 below), before any jurisdiction, arbitral tribunal or in the context of any other proceeding, by reason of any acts, facts, omissions or matters relating exclusively to the making of the financial investments in the Securities and of their contribution to Oi’s share capital, as well as by reason of representations, warranties, information or omissions of information (or, generally, relating to the adequacy and completeness of the information disclosed), relating specifically to the Securities, their situation and the risks involved.

5.2.1 The release and the waiver granted in Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 above shall not impair the right of recourse (direito de regresso) of PT Finance, PT Holding, CorpCo or Oi against PT SGPS. If any judicial, arbitral or administrative action of any nature is brought against PT Finance, PT Holding, CorpCo or Oi in connection with the making of the financial investments in the Securities and their contribution to Oi’s share capital, as well as in connection with any representations, warranties, information or omissions of information (or, generally, relating to the adequacy and completeness of the information disclosed), PT Finance, PT Holding, CorpCo and Oi undertake to immediately inform PT SGPS thereof and to defend again any such proceedings in a diligent manner. PT SGPS, should it so desire, may, at its own expense, appoint a lawyer to monitor the proceeding. The defenses of Oi, CorpCo, PT Finance and/or PT Holding, in such proceedings, shall not contain an impleader (denunciação da lide). Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the absence of a presentation of an impleader in such proceedings shall not preclude PT Finance, PT Holding, Oi and/or CorpCo from pursuing the related rights of recourse against PT SGPS, to litigate the right of recourse to recover the total amount of any adverse awards or decisions, costs and expenses any of them incur, after any adverse awards or decisions in such proceedings become final and not subject to appeal. For the avoidance of doubt, except only for any measure required to suspend the judicial or extrajudicial statute of limitations, no other measure of recourse shall be taken before such adverse decisions are final and not subject to appeal.

5.2.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the waiver granted in Clause 5.2 covers any action or claim against PT SGPS and its administrators.

5.3 Release. Subject to Closing, in the form set forth herein, PT SGPS grants a full, irreducible, general and irrevocable release to PT Finance, PT Holding, Oi and CorpCo,

 

7


and to their respective administrators, in relation to the transfer of the Securities pursuant to the Exchange that is the subject of this Agreement, acknowledging that it has nothing to claim in the present, past or future on any grounds in that respect.

CLAUSE 6

RESCISSION

6.1 This Agreement shall be automatically rescinded, without need of judicial or extrajudicial notice, only in the case where there is a final judicial decision, not subject to appeal, that would prevent the Closing.

CLAUSE 7

TERMINATION

7.1 This Agreement may be unilaterally terminated by PT SGPS and/or Oi and CorpCo if the Closing does not occur by March 31, 2015, for any reason, including, but not limited to, if the Condition Precedent is not satisfied by such date.

7.2 Without prejudice to the exercise of all legal measures to which they are entitled, if the Closing fails to occur due to an act or omission by one of the Parties, the innocent Party may at its discretion claim specific performance of the obligation left unfulfilled by the other Party and, consequently, consummation of the Closing.

7.3 If a judicial, arbitral or administrative order that hinders the performance of this Agreement is handed down, the Parties undertake to, in good faith, and at their respective expense, take all measures to protect the Agreement and its performance in accordance with its terms, toward eliminating, in the shortest possible period, all the effects of such order.

7.3.1 Once the effects of the judicial, arbitral or administrative order have been eliminated, the Parties shall fulfill in full their obligations as set forth in this Agreement, without suspension or alteration, in faithful observance of the periods set forth contractually.

7.4 The provisions regarding conflict resolution set forth in Clause 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

1


(iii) The parties further agreed to modify certain stages of the Transaction as set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding executed on October 1, 2013, and the Definitive Agreements relating to the Transaction executed on February 19, 2014, in particular to account for the fact that the merger of Portugal Telecom SGPS into CorpCo will no longer be implemented within the scope of the Transaction; and

(iv) Notwithstanding the necessary adjustments to the structure of the Transaction to allow for its full implementation, the Parties wish to leave unaltered certain concepts and principles initially agreed upon which justify the Transaction, including, but not limited to, the undertaking of each party to carry out its best efforts to fulfill the objective of integrating the shareholder bases of Oi and Portugal Telecom SGPS in CorpCo pursuant to a legally permissible structure (“Integration of the Shareholder Bases”), as well as listing the shares of CorpCo on the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA, SA – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros, on the regulated market of Euronext Lisbon, and on the New York Stock Exchange,

2


1.2 The Parties further undertake to perform all acts, provide any required information, prepare all necessary documentation and to present and duly file all necessary filings before all appropriate governmental bodies and authorities, so as to implement the Listing and the Integration of the Shareholder Bases as soon as possible after the date hereof.

1.2.1 Without limiting the provisions of Clause 1.2, the Parties undertake to perform all necessary acts to implement the Integration of the Shareholder Bases relating to all Oi shares (or, following completion of the Merger of Shares, Corpco shares) held by Portugal Telecom SGPS as of the date hereof or that said company shall come to hold for so long as this Agreement is in force, including, but not limited to, (i) preparing and filing any prospectuses, including for admission to trading, registration statements (including on Form F-4 or Form F-3, where applicable) or other documents with the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários, or “CVM”), the Portuguese Securities Commission (Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários, or “CMVM”), Euronext Lisbon – Sociedade Gestora de Mercados Regulamentados (“Euronext Lisbon”) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Portugal Telecom SGPS, Oi, and/or CorpCo, as the case may be, including the preparation of audited and unaudited financial statements required by the rules of such government authorities, and (ii) hiring independent auditors, independent financial institutions or other experts to prepare financial statements, valuation reports and/or other necessary reports or documents and to use best efforts to cause such experts to consent to the inclusion their reports or other documents in the abovementioned prospectuses, registration statements or other documents to be filed with CVM, CMVM, Euronext Lisbon and the SEC.

1.3 Oi undertakes to attend any General Meetings of the Shareholders of Portugal Telecom SGPS convened for the purposes of resolving on the legal or corporate acts necessary for the Integration of the Shareholder Bases, whether through a reduction of the share capital of Portugal Telecom SGPS, pursuant to the alternative structure under analysis described in the Information Statement issued by Portugal Telecom SGPS, dated August 13, 2014, or through another legally permissible alternative structure, and to vote in favor of approval of the aforementioned corporate and legal acts, to the extent Oi’s legitimate interests are preserved.

1.4 The obligations assumed by the Parties by the terms of the above Clauses 1.2 and 1.3 shall apply equally in the event the Integration of the Shareholder Bases continues in respect of any Oi shares (or, following completion of the Merger of Shares, CorpCo shares) that Portugal Telecom SGPS may receive upon exercise of the call option granted under the Share Call Option Agreement, and Other Covenants entered into on the date hereof, among Portugal Telecom SGPS, PT International Finance B.V., PT Portugal SGPS S.A., Oi, and TelemarParticipações (“Call Option”).

The use of specific performance or any preventive measures shall not be considered the exclusive mechanism to remedy any breach of this Agreement by any of the Parties; on the contrary, it shall be considered a right in addition to any other mechanisms provided for herein or by law.
