WHEREAS:

I. On February 19, 2014 and on September 3, 2014, prior meetings of the shareholders of Corpco (“Prior Meetings”) were held, approving, among other measures, the integration of the shareholder bases of Oi and of Portugal Telecom SGPS into a single company, “Corpco,” the shareholder base of which would have been dispersed, the capital of which would have been divided into only one class of common shares traded on the Brazilian Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange (“BMF&BOVESPA”), Euronext Lisbon and the NYSE, and the company would have adhered to the rules of corporate governance of the Novo Xxxxxxx section of the BMF&BOVESPA (the “Transaction”);

II. Given the delay in the schedule of the Transaction, prior meetings of Copco shareholders were held on the date hereof to approve the adoption of an alternative structure proposed by Oi, which enables the main goals of the Transaction to be performed in advance by adopting best practices in corporate governance and making the voting rights in Oi dispersed. In general terms, it consists of a proposal for voluntary exchange of Oi’s preferred shares into Oi’s common shares (in other words, subject to the discretion of the holder of preferred shares), at the exchange ratio of 0.9211 common shares for each preferred share issued by Oi, as well as the incorporation of the entities that hold direct or indirect interest in Oi. It also includes the key milestone of the incorporation of Corpco into and by Oi and its termination, in order to simplify Oi’s capital structure. This would permit the benefits of financial synergies to be realized, and the approval of the new bylaws of Oi, which includes limiting voting rights to a maximum of 15%, applicable to all shareholders of Oi, as contemplated by the Preliminary Steps, all in compliance with the provisions established in the prior meetings of the shareholders of Corpco, held on the date hereof (“Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PN’s”), retaining the final goal of a timely implementation of the transaction that will result in the migration of Oi to the Novo Xxxxxxx segment of the BM&FBOVESPA. Each one of the Preliminary Steps is conditioned to each other, such that the approval of each one of the steps assumes that all other steps are approved on the same date, jointly and inseparably;

III. Portugal Telecom International Finance BV, Portugal Telecom SGPS, Oi and Telemar Participações, on the date hereof, entered into the First Amendment to the Call Option Agreement (“Amendment to the Call Option Agreement”), the effectiveness of which is subject to the approval by the general meeting of Oi’s shareholders and, if applicable, by the Brazilian Securities Commission (“Comissão de Valores Mobiliários”); and

IV. In light of the aforementioned changes, the Parties wish to amend the Temporary Voting Agreement.

The PARTIES have agreed to enter into this 2nd Amendment to the Temporary Voting Agreement of the Shareholders of Oi S.A. and Corpco (the “2nd Amendment”), under the terms and for the purposes of article 118 of Law 6,404, of December 15, 1976 (the “Corporation Law”), as amended, under which shall be governed by the following clauses and conditions:

CLAUSE I - AMENDMENT OF CLAUSE TWO

1.1 The parties herein agree to amend Clause Two of the Temporary Voting Agreement, to provide for the adoption of the “Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs” (as defined below) and approval of the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement, as a result of which Clause Two shall now read as follows:

“CLAUSE II — STRUCTURE — VOLUNTARY EXCHANGE OF PNS AND AMENDMENT TO THE CALL OPTION AGREEMENT

2.1 The Shareholders, irrevocably and irreversibly, hereby undertake to perform all necessary acts and to cooperate with the performance of all necessary acts by the other Parties and by Oi for the implementation of the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs, including the Preliminary Steps (as defined in the prior meetings of Corpco shareholders), approved at the prior meetings of Corpco’s shareholders held on March 31, 2015 (which minutes and respective exhibits are part of Exhibit II of this 2nd Amendment to the Temporary Voting Agreement), as it may be detailed in the prior meetings of Corpco’s shareholders to be held to approve all corporate authorizations and agreements pertaining to the aforementioned Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs and to the Preliminary Steps.

2.2 The Shareholders, irrevocably and irreversibly, hereby undertake to (i) attend Oi’s Extraordinary General Meetings to deliberate on the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs, the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement and the Preliminary Steps (“Oi EGMs”); (ii) cause the members of Oi’s Board of Directors designated by them to attend the Oi Board of Directors meetings that will deliberate on the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs, the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement and the Preliminary Steps (the “Oi RCA”); and (iii) vote and cause the members of Oi Board of Directors designated by them to vote, at the Oi EGMs as well as the Oi RCAs, favorably for the approval, without reservations, exceptions or restrictions, of the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs, the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement and the Preliminary Steps by Corpco held on March 31, 2015 and regarding the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs as it may be detailed in the prior meetings of Corpco’s shareholders to be held to approve all corporate authorizations and agreements pertaining to the aforementioned Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs and to the Preliminary Steps.

2.2.1 Considering that the merger of Portugal Telecom SGPS by Corpco and the merger of Shares of Oi by Corpco will no longer be implemented, the Shareholders nevertheless undertake to continue pursuing the objective of integrating the shareholder bases of Oi and Portugal Telecom SGPS.

2.3 In the event that, during the term of this Temporary Voting Agreement, any legal, arbitral or administrative remedy is determined, even if of a preliminary nature, in such manner that the Oi EGMs and/or the Oi RCAs cannot be held, or so that the effects of the approval of the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs, the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement and the Preliminary Steps, or, in any manner so, that the effect or the scope of the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs, the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement and the Preliminary Steps are affected or restricted, each one of the Shareholders hereby irrevocably and irreversibly agrees to take and cause Oi to take all necessary measures to remove, as soon as possible, the effects of such legal, arbitral or administrative remedies and implement the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs, the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement and the Preliminary Steps.

2.4 The Chairman of the Oi EGMs and the Oi RCAs shall refrain from registering and calculating the votes cast in disagreement with this Temporary Voting Agreement, subject to the provisions by article 118, § 8 of Corporation Law.

2.5 The Shareholders hereby further irrevocably and irreversibly undertake to exercise their voting rights in order to maintain the ordinary course of Oi’s business during the term of this Temporary Voting Agreement, and refrain from taking any measure or practice any act that affects or limits the effects or the scope of this instrument. For the purposes of this Clause 2.5, “ordinary course of business” activities are considered to be those which, by their nature, purpose or manner of execution, are necessary for the achievement of Oi’s corporate purposes, considering the maintenance of its business at current levels, consistent with the past practices and guidelines determined by the corporate bodies and without any kind of interruption or delay

2.5.1 Until the Preliminary Steps have been approved, the Shareholders hereby irrevocably and irreversibly undertake to keep the members of the Oi Board of Directors in their current positions on the date of the execution of this 2nd Amendment, instructing them to maintain the ordinary course of business of Oi. In case of vacancy or resignation of any member of the Oi Board of Directors during the term of this Temporary Voting Agreement, the election of the substitute shall be made by Telemar Participações according to the rules provided in its Shareholders Agreement in force on this date for the election of the members of the Board of Directors, pursuant to the provisions under Clause IV.

2.6 The Shareholders hereby undertake the firm, irrevocable and irreversible commitment to convert all their Oi preferred shares into common shares, at the exchange ratio of 0.9211 Oi common shares for each Oi preferred share, as approved in the prior meetings of Corpco’s shareholders held on March 31, 2015 (“Exchange”), and the commitment hereby undertaken is subject to adherence to the Exchange by the shareholders representing at least 2/3 of the preferred shares issued by Oi, considered, in this percentage, the Exchange (“Exchange Condition”).

2.7 The Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs defined as Preliminary Steps in the minutes of the Corpco prior meetings held on March 31, 2015 are conditional on each other, such that the approval of these steps assumes the approval of all of them on the same date, jointly and severely.”

CLAUSE II - AMENDMENT OF CLAUSE IV

2.1 Clause IV of the Temporary Voting Agreement ceases to be in force, in the light of the approval for the adoption of the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs, which is the reason why the Parties have decided to remove it from the Temporary Voting Agreement, replacing it with the new Clause IV, which shall now read as follows:

“CLAUSE IV — OI’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

4.1 The Parties commit to elect the Board of Directors of Oi at the Oi EGM held to approve the Preliminary Steps, with its term until the date of the general meeting of Oi’s shareholders that will decide on the financial statements regarding the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2017, the nominees in item 3.2.2 (iv) of the Minutes of the Previous Meeting of Telemar Participações shareholders held on March 31, 2015.

4.2 The Parties commit to not require the adoption of the multiple vote procedure to elect the members of the Board of Directors of Oi provided for in item 4.1 herein above. However, if the shareholders not bound to this Temporary Voting Agreement require the adoption of the multiple vote procedure, pursuant to the provision in Article 141 in the Brazilian Corporation Law, the Parties shall exercise their voting rights in order to maximize the number of members in the Board of Directors of Oi that have the right to collectively nominate, including by adopting multiple votes, and, in this manner, the Parties shall always comply with the terms agreed upon to nominate the members of Oi’s board of directors in the Prior Meeting held on March 31, 2015.”

CLAUSE III - MODIFICATION OF CLAUSE VII

3.1 The Parties agree to amend paragraph 7.2 of Clause VII of the Temporary Voting Agreement, which governs the effectiveness and the term of the Temporary Voting Agreement, so as to amend the term established therein, and to include the new items 7.2.1, 7.2.2 and 7.2.3, as a result of which it shall now read as follows:

“CLAUSE VII — EFFECTIVENESS AND TERM

7.2 Except as provided in items 7.2.1, 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 below, this Temporary Voting Agreement shall remain in force until (i) the implementation of all the Preliminary Steps of the Oi EGMs; or (ii) October 31, 2015, whichever occurs first.

Notwithstanding the provision in item 7.2 herein above, the preferred shares held by Shareholders will remain bound to this agreement for the purposes of item 2.6 in Clause II and to the terms in item 3.1 in Clause III, until (i) October 31, 2015; and (ii) the end of the 30 (thirty) days’ deadline for the Exchange, in accordance with the provisions of the Structure — Voluntary Exchange of PNs.

7.2.2 Notwithstanding the provisions under item 7.2 herein above, the Parties’ obligation to attend the Oi EGM that will decide on the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement and to vote in such meeting for the approval, without exceptions or restrictions, of the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement, will remain in force until the effective approval of the Amendment to the Call Option Agreement in such meeting

7.2.3 Notwithstanding the provisions under item 7.2 herein above, the Parties’ obligation to attend the Oi EGMs that will decide on the Preliminary Steps and to vote in such meetings for the approval, without exceptions or restrictions, of the Preliminary Steps, will remain in force until the date such Oi EGMs are finished, in the event of a judicial or administrative order to suspend them or until Oi EGMs required to implement the Preliminary Steps are held, provided they are duly called for on or before September 30, 2015.”

CLAUSE IV — GENERAL PROVISIONS

4.1 Capitalized terms not expressly defined in this 2nd Amendment shall have the meaning attributed to them in the Temporary Voting Agreement and in its 1st Amendment

4.2 Except for the changes introduced by this 2nd Amendment, further terms and conditions of the Temporary Voting Agreement and its 1st Amendment shall remain in effective and hereby ratified by the Parties.

4.3 The terms and conditions of the 2nd Amendment shall benefit and irrevocably and irreversibly force the undersigned and their respective successors on any account , including, but not limited, the successors of the Shareholders following the Restructuring of Telemar Participações.

IN WITNESS HEREOF, the Parties executed this instrument in 7 (seven) counterparts of the same content and form, before the 2 (two) undersigned witnesses.

II. ATTENDING SHAREHOLDERS: The undersigned shareholders were present.

III. AGENDA: a) review the timeframe of all actions to be taken prior to 03/31/2015 in order to deliberate on the merger of shares of Oi S.A. by Telemar Participações S.A., with its migration to the Novo Xxxxxxx segment of BM&FBOVESPA, including the preliminary steps to be taken (in particular the required registrations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - “SEC”); and, b) if it is deemed impossible to conclude all the acts necessary to complete the merger of shares of Oi S.A. by Telemar Participações S.A. on or before 3/31/2015, to deliberate on (i) the extension of the deadline established at a prior meeting, in the Shareholders’ Agreement of Telemar Participações S.A. and in the Temporary Voting Agreement of the shareholders of Oi S.A. and CorpCo, which Telemar Participações S.A. is party to; and (ii) the adoption of measures to allow the main goals of the transaction to be achieved earlier than planned, through the adoption of corporate governance best practices, dispersed shareholder control and acceleration of the synergies from the transaction.

IV. RESOLUTIONS: Summarizing the matters of the Prior General Meeting on March 30, 2015, the shareholders of Telemar Participações S.A. (“TelPart” or “CorpCo”), pursuant to Clause 3.1 of the Shareholders’ Agreement executed on April 25, 2008 and amended on January 25, 2011, February 19, 2014 and September 8, 2014 (“General Shareholders’ Agreement”), prior to the Meetings of the Board of Directors and General Shareholders Meeting of TelPart, Oi S.A. and their relevant subsidiaries, met and deliberated on the following topics of the Agenda:

1. “Review of the Timeframe of the Actions Necessary for CorpCo to Complete the Merger of Shares of Oi by CorpCo”:

1.1. With respect to item “a” of the Agenda, it is hereby registered that on 03/12/2015 and 03/19/2015 the management of Oi S.A. (“Oi”) presented the document entitled “Status of the Process of Filing the F-4 and Alternatives,” which constitutes Annex 1.1 of these Minutes of the Prior General Meeting, in which Oi reported the difficulties regarding the completion of

the merger of shares of Oi by CorpCo on or before the March 31, 2015 deadline.

1.2. Item “a” is not to be deliberated on, being noted that the shareholders confirmed, based on the clarifications provided by the management of Oi, the impossibility of concluding the transaction of merger of shares of Oi by CorpCo by March 31, 2015, as well as the impossibility of establishing a future date on which it would be possible to implement such transaction.

2. “Alteration of Deadlines, Amendments to the Shareholders’ Agreements and Other Provisions”:

2.1. With respect to item “b(i)” of the Agenda, the shareholders present at the meeting considered the proposed extension of the deadline (Proposal No 0312/2015, attached as Annex 2.1 to these Minutes of the Prior General Meeting) and, in view of the approval of the adoption of the alternative structure proposed by the management of Oi pursuant to item 3 below, the shareholders agreed that it would not be necessary to alter the date set in the resolutions that were approved in item 6.1 of the Prior General Meeting held on 09/03/2014, or to extend the “Deadline” provided for in the shareholders’ agreements of TelPart with respect to conclusion of the steps established in items 5 and 7 of the Prior General Meeting held on 02/19/2014. As a result of the approval of the alternative structure mentioned in item 3 below, the Corporate Restructuring of Telemar Participações and the Merger of Shares of Oi by CorpCo (which had been approved in the Prior General Meeting held on February 19, 2014, and the amendments of which were approved in the Prior General Meeting held on September 3, 2014), will no longer be completed, and the provisions set forth in the shareholders’ agreements of TelPart with respect to the voting rights held by the shareholders as of February 19, 2014 (as set forth in Clause 25.1.1 and all other applicable provisions of Clause XXV of the General Shareholders’ Agreement, and which remain subject to the legal provisions applicable to the shareholders’ agreements and to specific performance under the law) will be maintained.

2.2. It is noted that the “Temporary Voting Agreement of the Shareholders of Oi S.A. and Telemar Participações S.A. (which shall be referred to as “CorpCo”)”, signed on 02/19/2014 and amended on 09/08/2014, shall be further amended on the date hereof to reflect the resolutions passed in this Prior General Meeting, pursuant to the draft attached as Annex 2.2 of these Minutes of the Prior General Meeting, which was agreed upon by the shareholders.

3. “Adoption of Measures To Achieve the Goals of the Transaction Earlier than Planned”:

3.1. With respect to item “b(ii)” of the Agenda, the management of Oi, in view of the obstacles related to the registrations of CorpCo with the SEC required for the approval of the merger of Shares of Oi by CorpCo, as discussed in the presentation referred to in item 1.1 above, the shareholders received an updated version of the document entitled “Alternative Novo Xxxxxxx and Dispersion of Voting Rights,” amending the document previously presented in the Prior General Meeting held on March 19, 2015, in order to reflect the topics discussed in the meeting held on March 25, 2015, and in which it is suggested that the alternative, called “Voluntary Exchange of Preferred Shares” is the best alternative to permit the main goals of the previously agreed transaction to be achieved early, according to the management of Oi, through the adoption of corporate governance best practices and the dispersion of voting rights in Oi, maintaining the final goal of timely implementing a transaction that results in the migration of Oi to the Novo Xxxxxxx. In addition, the shareholders were also presented with, or sent, the following documents related to item “b(ii)”: (i) “Step by step of the Voluntary Exchange of Preferred Shares,” describing the necessary steps to implement the alternative proposed by the management of Oi to achieve the main goals of the transaction earlier than planned; (ii) “Analysis of the Shareholder Base of Oi;” (iii) a draft of the By-laws of Oi, suggesting changes necessary to implement the proposed alternative; (iv) drafts of the internal rules of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of Oi; and (v) drafts of the internal rules of the Risks and Contingencies Committee, the Corporate Governance and Finance Committee, the Engineering, Technology and Networks Committee and the Personnel, Appointments and Remuneration Committee of Oi. All documents referred to in item 3.1 are attached as Annex 3.1 of these Minutes of the Prior General Meeting.

3.2. The shareholders unanimously approved, pursuant to the provisions set forth in Clause 25.5 of the General Shareholders’ Agreement:

3.2.1. the adoption of the alternative structure proposed by the management of Oi (identified as “Voluntary Exchange of Preferred Shares”), which consists, in general terms, of a proposal for the voluntary exchange of preferred shares of Oi into common shares of Oi (in other words, subject to the discretion of the holder of preferred shares), at the exchange ratio of 0.9211 common shares for each preferred share issued by Oi, as set forth in the document called “Alternative Novo Xxxxxxx and Dispersion of Voting Rights” and the steps provided for in the document called “Step by step of the Voluntary Exchange of Preferred Shares” set forth in Annex 3.1 (“Structure - Voluntary Exchange of Preferred Shares”), whereby the Boards of Directors of Oi and TelPart, as applicable, are authorized to take the necessary measures, and prepare all corporate authorizations and agreements necessary to perform

the steps described in the document called “Step by step of the Voluntary Exchange of Preferred Shares” attached as Annex 3.1, which shall be submitted for approval in any future Prior General Meeting(s) of Shareholders (“Prior Implementation Meetings”), being hereby established that such corporate authorizations and agreements shall preserve the final goal of implementing a transaction that results in the migration of the shares currently held by the shareholders of Oi to the Novo Xxxxxxx, have provisions that allow liquidity for all shareholders and contribute to the broad acceptance of the shareholders of common and preferred shares, as contemplated by the “Structure for Voluntary Exchange of Preferred Shares,” subject to the conditions approved in this Prior Meeting;

3.2.2. the following preliminary steps prior to the commencement of the period for the voluntary exchange of preferred shares of Oi into common shares of Oi, and therefore notwithstanding its result, shall be conditioned on each other and shall be approved and implemented simultaneously, jointly and inseparably (“Preliminary Steps”):

(i) the incorporation of the companies that own direct or indirect interests in Oi as described in the “Step by step of the Voluntary Exchange of Preferred Shares” attached hereto as Annex 3.1, including, as a fundamental step, the incorporation of TelPart by Oi and the subsequent termination of the shareholders’ agreements of TelPart (given that such companies will be dissolved as a result of the respective incorporations), in order to simplify the capital structure of Oi and to enable it to benefit from the resulting financial synergies, it being understood that (a) the transactions involving the incorporation of the companies with controlling interests in TelPart shall be performed without diluting the interests of the other shareholders of the companies involved, given that the replacement ratios were established considering only the direct and indirect interests between the companies and the capital stock of Oi, respecting the premise that such companies will not have, with the exception of possible goodwill recorded in relation to its investments, material assets or liabilities (or will have sufficient cash or cash equivalents to settle its debts entirely); (b) any goodwill, or other assets, recorded by the companies whose structure will be simplified may be transferred to Oi in favor of all shareholders and shall not be considered for the purpose of establishing an exchange ratio; (c) all certificates necessary to implement the incorporations shall be presented; and (d) the only shareholders of the companies involved in the transactions of incorporation are the

shareholders attending this Prior General Meeting or their related parties;

(ii) approval of the new By-laws of Oi in the form of the draft approved herein pursuant to Annex 3.1, and which includes limitation of the voting rights by any single shareholder to a maximum of 15%, applicable to all shareholders of Oi;

(iii) the adoption of high standards of corporate governance at Oi, with the approval of the internal rules of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of Oi, as well as the internal rules of the Risks and Contingencies Committee, the Corporate Governance and Finance Committee, the Engineering, Technology and Networks Committee and the Personnel, Appointments and Remuneration Committee of Oi, substantially based on the drafts attached hereto as Annex 3.1;

(iv) the election of the following effective members to comprise the new Board of Directors of Oi, each having a mandate until the General Meeting of Shareholders that approves the financial statements of Oi for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017: Xxxx Xxxxx Mettrau Carneiro xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx dos Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx X., it being agreed that, in the event that (i) a member is elected through separate voting by preferred or minority shareholders, one of the last two members listed above shall give his place to such representative, and (ii) two members are elected through separate voting, one by preferred shareholders and one by minority shareholders, the last two members listed shall give their place to such representatives. Xx. Xxxx Xxxxx Mettrau Carneiro xx Xxxxx shall maintain the position as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Oi;

3.2.3. the provision that the proposal for the voluntary exchange of preferred shares of Oi into common shares of Oi shall establish, in order to implement such exchange, a participation threshold of the exchange into common shares of shareholders owning at least 2/3 of the preferred shares of Oi (“Condition for Exchange”), with a deadline for exchange within 30 (thirty) days; and
