At each interval not shorter than twelve (12) months, by Anatel’s or the Concessionaire’s initiative, subject to the economy legislation in force, the tariffs stated in the Basic Plan for National Long-Distance Services, attachment 2 hereto, may be adjusted based on the formulas below:

Of which:

Where:

T_ijt = tariff proposed in the Basic Plan for National Long-Distance Services for time j, in the i distance tariff step, net of taxes levied.

T_ijto = tariff prevailing in the Basic Plan for National Long-Distance Services for time j, in the i distance tariff step, net of taxes levied.

M_ijto = minutes of the National Long-Distance Service noted in the Basic Plan for National Long-Distance Services in time j, in the i distance tariff step, since the last tariff adjustment.

MT = total minutes of the National Long-Distance Service noted in the Basic Plan for National Long-Distance Services since the last tariff adjustment.

i = distance tariff step of the National Long-Distance Service included in the Service Tariff Structure.

j = tariff time of the National Long-Distance Service included in the Service Tariff Structure.

t = proposed date for adjustment.

to = last adjustment date; and

Where:

IST = tariff adjustment ratio, composed based on existing price ratios, pursuant to applicable regulation.

k = X + FA

X = transfer factor

FA = repayment factor.

Paragraph 1 For the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007, the X transfer factor shall be defined by Anatel based on a simplified methodology that includes, among others, the physical and economic data related to the national long-distance minute, as well as material, personal, services and depreciation factors.

Paragraph 2 As from January 1, 2008, the X transfer factor shall be defined by Anatel based on a methodology that considers the optimization of service provision costs, pursuant to applicable regulation.

Paragraph 3 In the event the value resulting from the calculation of the X transfer fact is negative, the value zero (0) shall be adopted.

Paragraph 4 The repayment factor value is:

I – zero (0) for IST variations, in the period under analysis, up to ten percent (10%);

II – one hundredth (0.01) for IST variations, in the period under analysis, higher than ten percent (10%) and up to twenty percent (20%).

III – two hundredth (0.02) for IST variations, in the period under analysis, higher than twenty percent (20%).

Paragraph 5 In the event the adjustment period involves different transfer factors values, the transfer factor value shall be calculated by using the following formula:

Where:

X₁ = transfer factor year 1

X₂ = transfer factor year 2

n₁ = number of months year 1

n₂ = number of months year 2

Paragraph 6 In the event the last adjustment date is earlier than the date this Agreement came into effect, the adjustment shall be progressively applied taking into account the periods involved and the respective prevailing formulas and criteria.

Paragraph 7 New criteria for tariff follow-up, including transfer factor values, may be defined by Anatel upon any amendment to this Agreement, pursuant to Clause 3.2., and shall consider the conditions prevailing at the time.

Paragraph 1 The Concessionaire shall not be obliged to bear any losses arising from this Agreement, except if those losses arise from any of the following factors:

I – its own negligence, ineptitude or omission in exploiting the business;

II – any risks which are usual to the business activity;

Paragraph 3 The Concessionaire shall be entitled to have its original charges and remuneration situation restored when acts of God or catastrophes significantly affect the service exploitation, always subject, as a benchmark, to the effects of these situations on service providers in the private system.

Paragraph 4 The adequacy of the recovery referred to in the paragraph above shall be evaluated taking into account, among other factors, any existing coverage of the event which triggered the change to the initial financial position by the Insurance Plan set forth in Clause 24.1.

Clause 13.2. The restoration to the financial situation of the Agreement shall be applicable when it is evidenced that the factors stated in paragraph 1 of the preceding Clause did not occur, and such restoration shall be preferably carried out through tariff review or any other mechanism which, at Anatel’s discretion, is deemed to be efficient to neutralize the then noted situation.

Paragraph 1 The tariff review shall keep back any other mechanism to neutralize the parties’ unjust enrichment, by causing the event it referred to become obsolete.

Paragraph 2 The arrangement adopted to neutralize any distortion shall be unique, complete and final with respect to the event giving rise to such distortion.

Clause 13.3. Irrespective of the provisions in Clause 13.1 above, there shall be a review of the tariffs comprising the Basic Plan for National Long-Distance Services in favor of the Concessionaire or the users, pursuant to article 108 of Law No. 9,472 of 1997, in the event of one of the following specific situations:

I – unilateral amendment to this Agreement imposed by Anatel, involving significant variation (for above or below) of costs or revenues, so that the rise or drop in tariffs is imposed due to the need to prevent the unjust enrichment of any of the parties;

II – change to the tax system subsequent to the execution of this Agreement giving rise to any increase or reduction in the Concessionaire’s potential profitability;

Paragraph 1 Any loss or decrease in the Concessionaire’s gains caused by the free exploitation of services under fair conditions or by the inefficient management of its business shall not give rise to a tariff review.

Paragraph 2 The event of tariff review set forth in item II of the preamble to this Clause shall not be applied if the tax change implies the creation, elimination, increase or decrease in taxes levied on the Concessionaire’s income or earnings, such as income tax, which do not imply administrative or operating encumbrance.

Paragraph 3 No tariff review shall be applied in the events set forth in this Clause when the events triggering the review are already covered by the Insurance Plan set forth in Clause 24.1.

Paragraph 4 The Concessionaire’s contributions to the Universal Telecommunications Service Fund (FUST) and the Fund for the Technological Development of Telecommunications (FISTEL) shall not give rise to tariff review.

Clause 13.4. The tariff review shall not be applicable upon characterization that the impacts causing the Concessionaire’s request may be neutralized by the efficient exploitation of service, the market expansion or generation of alternative or supplementary revenues associated to the service subject to this Agreement, subject to current competitive conditions.

Sole paragraph. The decrease in revenues arising from discounts or reduced tariffs shall not give rise to tariff review.

Clause 13.5. The tariff review procedure may be started upon Concessionaire’s request or Anatel’s determination.
