Article 1433 and in Article 1459 of the Civil Code and in paragraph 2 of Article

4.2. - In the event of exercise of the enforcement right contemplated in Clause
4.1 above, the Collateral Agent is hereby expressly, irrevocably and
irreversibly authorized to promote the amicable sale of the Pledged Quotas,
according to the procedures below. Collateral Agent shall use the proceeds of
said sale to pay and settle the Secured Obligations, as established in the
Intercreditor Agreement, as well as any and all costs, expenses and taxes
applicable to the sale, assignment or transfer of the Pledged Quotas. Collateral
Agent must deliver the remaining balance, if any, to NET Companies on the date
such proceeds are received as contemplated herein. The process of disposal of
the Pledged Quotas shall comply with the following:
(a) the amount of the Pledged Quotas shall be calculated by appraisers,
which may not be a Creditor and/or the Collateral Agent, nor a company
controlling, controlled by or affiliated to a Creditor and/or the Collateral
Agent, and which shall necessarily be a reputable and independent consulting
firm or a first class investment bank that, in both cases, have acted as
financial advisers in merger and acquisition transactions whose total sales
prices in the last 3 (three) years have been equal to or higher than
R$100,000,000.00 (one hundred million reais), with proven performance and
knowledge of the Brazilian cable television or telecommunications market. If it
is not possible to identify consulting firms or financial institutions that fall
under this profile, the appraisers shall be financial institutions that have
operated in the Brazilian market and know it thoroughly and that (excluding, to
this effect, the Creditors and the Collateral Agent, and companies controlling,
controlled by, affiliated to or directly or indirectly related to a Creditor
and/or the Collateral Agent) are among the 10 (ten) top companies in the last
ranking of mergers and acquisitions for Brazil, published by Thompson Financial
(or its successor in any way) (referred to individually as "APPRAISER" and
collectively as "APPRAISERS");
(b) the Collateral Agent shall send a written notice to Net Servicos, with
a copy to the Creditors, informing the Creditors' decision, according to the
Intercreditor Agreement, of giving effect to the disposal of the Pledged Shares
and Quotas.
(c) within 10 (ten) consecutive days from the date of receipt by Net
Servicos of the notice contemplated in item (a) above, Net Servicos and the
Collateral Agent, the latter acting exclusively on behalf of Creditors, shall
each engage an Appraiser. No appraisal will be performed until the Collateral
Agent has appointed the Appraiser. If Net Servicos fails to appoint an
Appraiser, it will be up to the Collateral Agent to appoint both Appraisers;
(d) the criterion for appraisal of the Pledged Shares and Quotas to be
used by the Appraisers will be, if the respective company is listed at a stock
exchange, the market value, and if not, the economic value criterion. The
appraisal reports to be prepared by the Appraisers shall be delivered to Net
Servicos and to the Collateral Agent within 30 (thirty) consecutive days, and
the delivery period may be extended at the request of any Appraiser, upon the
Parties' consent.
(e) the economic value of all the Quotas Pledged by each of the NET
Companies under this Agreement and the market value or the economic value, as
applicable, of all the Share Pledged by the NET Companies under the Share Pledge
Agreement with an Amicable Sale Clause and Other Covenants, shall be necessarily
indicated in the appraisal reports, so that all of them can be appraised
together as if they were an indivisible whole, for purposes of joint sale of all
the Pledged Shares and Quotas. In addition, the individualized economic value of
the respective Pledged Quotas of each of the NET Companies shall be necessarily
indicated in the appraisal reports, to enable the subsequent segregated sale of
such Pledged Quotas, if and when applicable, always with due regard for the
provisions of this Agreement. In the event the report indicates a price
variation range, the appraisal value established in such report will be
considered as the arithmetic mean between the maximum value and the minimum
value suggested in such report, and such arithmetic mean shall be used as the
value of the respective report for purposes of application of the provisions of
item (f) below;
(f) if the difference in value between both the reports is lower than 10%
(ten percent), the minimum sale price for the Pledged Shares and Quotas will be
the arithmetic mean of the two amounts. If the difference between the reports is
higher than 10% (ten percent), calculated by dividing the highest value by the
lowest one, a third Appraiser shall be chosen by Net Servicos within 10 (ten)
business days counted from the date of delivery of the reports referred to in
item (d) above out of a list of 3 (three) Appraisers appointed by the Collateral
Agent. The third Appraiser thus chosen shall define within 30 (thirty)
consecutive days, the minimum sale price for the Pledged Shares and Quotas,
taking into consideration for such purpose the criterion for appraisal of the
market value or economic value, as applicable, of the Pledged Shares and Quotas.
The minimum price for the sale of the Pledged Shares and Quotas will be the
arithmetic mean between the price defined by the third Appraiser and the price
closest to it among the prices defined by each of the other Appraisers. The
third Appraiser shall receive from the Collateral Agent and/or Net Services a
copy of both reports prepared by the other Appraisers. If Net Services does not
choose the third Appraiser within 10 (ten) business days from the date of
submission of the triple list, the Collateral Agent shall make such choice;
(g) the minimum price attributed to the Pledged Shares and Quotas by each
Appraiser, according to item (f) above, both when considered as an indivisible
whole and when the Pledged Quotas are considered individually, except for
manifest error, will be final and conclusive, and binding on the Parties for all
purposes;
(h) Net Servicos shall bear the costs and expenses reasonably incurred
with engagement of Appraisers and with structuring of the process of sale of
Pledged Shares and Quotas, provided that they are duly evidenced and justified;
(i) Net Servicos, NET Companies and the Intervening Party(ies) shall
assure that each Appraiser has always the same level of information with respect
to the Intervening Party(ies), their businesses and the Pledged Shares and
Quotas;
(j) The Collateral Agent will have 270 (two hundred and seventy)
consecutive days as from determination of the minimum price to dispose of the
Pledged Shares and Quotas, according to the terms of this Clause, to contract
the joint disposal of all the Pledged Shares and Quotas, as if they were an
indivisible whole, under this Agreement and the Share Pledge Agreement with an
Amicable Clause and Other Covenants, based on the minimum price calculated as
contemplated in this Clause IV; partial sale is hereby prohibited;
(k) if the contracting of the joint disposal does not take place within
the period contemplated in section "j" above, then the Collateral Agent, based
on the minimum price calculated individually as contemplated in Clause IV for
the Pledged Quotas held by each of the NET Companies, according to section "e"
above, will have 270 (two hundred and seventy) consecutive days as from the end
of the term for joint disposal of the Pledged Shares and Quotas to contract the
individual sale of all the Pledged Quotas issued by a single Intervening Party;
however, the duty to jointly dispose of all the Pledged Quotas representing the
corporate capital of the NET Companies in a single and certain Intervening
Party, shall continue to exist as if they were an indivisible whole. The Pledged
Quotas of as many Intervening Parties as may be necessary to make full payment
for the Secured Obligations may be sold. If even then the contracting of the
disposal does not occur within the period established herein, Net Servicos may
request that the appraisal procedure established in this Clause 4.2 be repeated
and the procedure reinitiated successively;

Collateral Agent shall fully respect all the procedures, requirements and stages
stipulated in this Clause IV.
4.3. - The amicable sale of the Pledged Shares and Quotas shall observe the
rules set forth by law and applicable regulations, including those of the
Brazilian Telecommunications' Agency ("ANATEL") and of the Administrative

cooperate promptly and to the extent necessary before such agencies.
4.4. - To enable proper compliance with this Agreement and without prejudice to
the other powers granted by NET Companies to the Collateral Agent and/or
Creditors, NET Companies hereby grant the Collateral Agent, in the capacity of
representative of Creditors, irrevocably, irreversibly and unconditionally, and
as a condition for the business, according to Article 684 of the Civil Code,
exclusive and specific powers for the Collateral Agent, on behalf of Creditors,
(a) to perform all the acts necessary for the disposal of the Pledged Quotas in
the events contemplated herein, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement;
(b) to use the proceeds of the disposal of the Pledged Quotas to settle the
Secured Obligations, according to the terms established in the Intercreditor
Agreement; and (c) additionally to the powers granted under the power of
attorney to be issued as established in Clause 10.6.1., subject to the
provisions hereof, to sign any and all documents, to perform each and every act,
including to represent NET Companies before third parties, any Registries of
Deeds and Documents, and any other governmental bodies, for the purpose of
taking all the procedures required for the effectiveness and enforcement of the
Pledge.
4.5. - Subject to the provisions of Clause 4.2. above, in the event of default
on the
Secured Obligations, it is expressly stipulated that any act or measure leading
to enforcement of the Pledge can only be implemented exclusively by Collateral
Agent, in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor
Agreement, so that no Creditor may individually take advantage of any judicial,
extrajudicial or any other constrictions on the assets and rights contemplated
by this Pledge, under penalty of application of the provisions of Clause 4.8.
4.6. - Without prejudice to collection of any debt balance relating to the
Secured Obligations, once the provisions of this Clause IV have been executed,
the corresponding Secured Obligations shall be automatically released with
respect to the sums attained through the amicable sale procedure stipulated
above, regardless of any formality, to which the Collateral Agent automatically
agrees on behalf of the Creditors and on its own behalf, irrevocably and
irreversibly; the Collateral Agent and Creditors not being allowed to make any
claim against NET Companies with respect to amounts obtained by said amicable
sale.
4.7. - Although the Creditors hold legal preemptive rights with respect to the
Pledged Quotas mentioned herein, the Creditors, through the Collateral Agent
that represents them herein, hereby expressly declare and irrevocably and
irreversibly agree, under the penalties of the law, for the entire duration
hereof, that they may only perform any acts that entail or may entail
attachment, judicial seizure or any other type of constriction of the Pledged
Quotas solely and exclusively through the Collateral Agent, subject to the
provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement.
4.8. - If any of the Creditors and/or the Collateral Agent fails to observe the
provisions of Clause 4.7, Net Servicos or any of NET Companies shall notify the
Collateral Agent and such Creditor(s) to the effect that they undo the act,
which they are required to abstain from as a result of Clause 4.7 above within
10 (ten) consecutive days from such notice, and they shall answer for the losses
and damages caused to Net Servicos and/or NET Companies and/or the other
Creditors and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. If the default is not
remedied within such period, (i) if the default is imposed on one or more
Creditors, the
Creditor(s) that have caused such default will cease immediately from being a
party hereto, and their rights arising from their respective Debt Instrument(s)
will no longer be part of the Secured Obligations, and they will thus no longer
benefit from this Pledge. In the events contemplated above, said default shall
in no way affect the legal and contractual rights and prerogatives now granted
to the other Creditors and/or the Collateral Agent.
4.9. - Without prejudice to other events of early maturity of the Secured
Obligations contemplated in the Debt Instruments or in the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Collateral Agent and any of the Creditors are expressly forbidden
to determine the early maturity of the Secured Obligations based on Articles

events below occurs: (i) if the obligations set out in Clause 1.3 above are not
complied with; (ii) if the obligations contemplated in sections "a", "b", "c"
and "d" of Clause 2.4 above are not complied with; or (iii) if the obligations
contemplated in Clauses 10.2 and 10.2.1 below are not complied with.
4.10. - The Parties acknowledge that Creditors shall have the option, always
through the Collateral Agent, to demand compliance with the Pledge now made with
