The New Notes are to be issued pursuant an indenture (the "Indenture"), to be entered into among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee. The obligations of the Company pursuant to the New Notes are each to be guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to and as set forth in the Indenture (each such guarantee, not including any security granted in connection with the New Notes, the "Guarantee"). In so acting, we have examined and relied upon originals or certified, conformed or reproduction copies of such agreements, instruments, documents and records of the Company and the Guarantors (as provided to us by the Company), such certificates of public officials, and such other documents (as provided to us by the Company), and have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinions expressed below. In all such examinations, we have assumed, without any independent investigation or inquiry of any kind, the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents, the genuineness of all signatures on original or certified copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original or certified copies and the conformity to original or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed or reproduction copies. We have relied as to factual matters upon, and have assumed the accuracy of, representations, statements and certificates of or from public officials and of or from officers and representatives of the Company, the Guarantors and others. We have assumed (i) that all such necessary authorizations, approvals, actions, notices or filings (other than any corporate action by the board of directors (or other equivalent body) or stockholders or quotaholders, as the case may be, of the Company or any Brazilian Guarantor) will have been obtained or will be made, as the case may be, on or prior to the date of issuance of the New Notes (the "Closing Date") and will be in full force and effect on or prior to the Closing Date, including the electronic registration (the "Electronic Registration") with the Brazilian Central Bank (the "Central Bank") to be obtained on or prior to the Closing Date and to be in full force and effect on the Closing Date, (ii) that any further necessary authorizations will be timely obtained (a) from the Central Bank in order to enable the Company to make remittances from Brazil in U.S. dollars to make payments under the New Notes or the Indenture not specifically covered by the Electronic Registration (including payments made after 120 days from their originally scheduled due date and payments made in a manner other than as provided for in the Electronic Registration) or to make payments earlier than their respective due dates, whether upon acceleration, foreclosure of assets or otherwise, and (b) from the Agencia Nacional de Telecomunicacoes - ANATEL and from the Brazilian antitrust authorities; and (iii) that the corporate acts of the Company and each of the Brazilian Guarantors authorizing the execution and performance of the obligations under the Indenture and its Guarantee, as the case may be, will be registered before each respective Board of Trade. Based upon the foregoing, and subject to each and all of the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 1) The Company and each Brazilian Guarantor is a sociedade por acoes or a sociedade limitada, as the case may be, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. 3 2) The Company is duly authorized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, and has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indenture, as filed with the Commission. 3) Each Brazilian Guarantor is duly authorized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, and has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indenture and its Guarantee, as filed with the Commission. We are qualified to practice law in Brazil only and therefore this opinion is limited to the laws of Brazil as currently in effect. Therefore, this opinion does not cover any questions arising under or relating to any laws other than the laws of Brazil as in effect at the date of this opinion and we have assumed that there is nothing in any other law that affects our opinion. In particular, we have made no independent investigation of the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, as a basis for the opinions stated herein and do not express or imply any opinion on such laws. The opinions set forth above are dated as of today and limited to the laws of Brazil as in effect today. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise with respect to any development, modification or circumstance of any kind, including any change of law or fact which may occur after the date of this opinion letter, even though such development, circumstance or change may affect the legal analysis, legal conclusion or any other matter set forth in or relating to this opinion letter.
