                         FORM OF RIGHTS AGENCY AGREEMENT

         RIGHTS AGENCY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of November __,
2004, between TELESP CELULAR PARTICIPACOES S.A. (the "Company"), a Brazilian
corporation, and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York banking corporation (the
"Rights Agent").


         WHEREAS, the Company will grant to existing holders of American
Depositary Shares ("ADSs") issued under the Deposit Agreement dated as of July
27, 1998, as amended and restated as of November 2, 1998 (the "Deposit
Agreement"), among the Company, The Bank of New York, as Depositary (the
"Depositary") and all owners and beneficial owners from time to time of American
Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") issued thereunder that are registered on the books
of the Depositary (the "ADS Holders") as of November 17, 2004 (the "Record
Date") the right to purchase new ADSs at an estimated ADS subscription price of
US$4.63 per ADS, payable only in U.S. dollars (the "Rights Offer"). Each ADS
holder will receive 0.350558679 ADS rights ("ADS Rights") for every one (1) ADS
held on the Record Date, and each ADS Right will entitle the holder to purchase
one new ADS in the Rights Offer. Each ADS represents 2,500 preferred shares
("Shares") of the Company.


         WHEREAS, pursuant to the Rights Offer, each ADS Holder may subscribe
for additional ADSs in excess of the number of ADSs that such ADS Holder is
entitled to purchase. Following the expiration of the subscription period in
connection with the related share rights offering by the Company in Brazil (the
"Share Rights Offering"), to the extent unsubscribed Shares are reoffered to the
Depositary as a result of unexercised share rights and ADS Rights, each ADS
Holder will be allocated additional new ADSs in proportion to the number of
additional ADSs for which such ADS Holder has subscribed.


         WHEREAS, the Rights Offer is expected to commence on or about November
9, 2004. The Rights Offer will be made to each ADS Holder by means of the
prospectus dated on or about November 9, 2004 (the "Prospectus"), which will be
accompanied by an ADS Rights Certificate ("ADS Rights Certificate"),
instructions with respect to the number of ADSs that may be purchased, the
method for subscribing and the delivery of payment (the "Instructions") and
certain other documents. The ADS Rights Certificates are to be used by the ADS
Holders to subscribe for new ADSs in the Rights Offer.


         WHEREAS, the ADS Rights will be listed for trading on the New York
Stock Exchange, evidenced by certificates in registered form and transferable by
their holders.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements
herein, the Company and the Rights Agent hereby agree as follows:

<PAGE>

                  ARTICLE I. - APPOINTMENT OF THE RIGHTS AGENT

         The Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York as the Rights Agent of
the Company in connection with the Rights Offer in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and The Bank of New York hereby accepts such
appointment and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement
upon execution and delivery of this Agreement.

                      ARTICLE II. - TERMS OF RIGHTS OFFER

         1. The subscription period will commence on or about November 22, 2004
(the "Commencement Date") and will end on December 10, 2004 (the "Expiration
Date"). The Commencement Date through 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
Expiration Date will constitute the subscription period (the "Subscription
Period").


         2. ADS Holders on the Record Date will be entitled to purchase ADSs
pursuant to the Rights Offer at an estimated ADS subscription price of U.S.$4.63
per ADS (the "Subscription Price"), payable only in U.S. dollars, which is the
ADS subscription price or R$12.50 per ADS, translated into U.S. dollars at the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York's noon buying rate of R$2.8330=U.S.$1.00 on
November 8, 2004, plus an additional 5%, which represents an allowance for
potential fluctuations in the exchange rate between the real and the U.S. dollar
and for the payment of ADS issuance fees of the Depositary pursuant to the
Deposit Agreement, conversion expenses and financial transaction taxes in
Brazil.


    ARTICLE III. - DELIVERY OF RIGHTS OFFER MATERIAL; EXECUTION, VALIDITY AND
                      TRANSFER OF ADS RIGHTS CERTIFICATES

         1. On or before November 17, 2004, the Company shall deliver to the
Rights Agent sufficient copies of the Prospectus, the ADS Rights Certificates,
the Instructions (including a Substitute Form W-9) and a notice of guaranteed
delivery ("Notice of Guaranteed Delivery").

         2. Unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Company, on or about
November 19, 2004, the Rights Agent shall send to each ADS Holder as of the
Record Date (i) a Prospectus, (ii) an ADS Rights Certificate, (iii) a copy of
the Instructions, (iv) the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and (v) a return
envelope addressed to the Rights Agent for use by such ADS Holder (such
material, collectively, the "Rights Offer Material").

         3. In the event that the Rights Offer Material is returned to the
Rights Agent for any reason and a proper delivery thereof cannot be effected to
an ADS Holder, the Rights Agent shall hold such Rights Offer Material, and the
related ADS Holder's right to purchase ADSs under the Rights Offer will be
treated as unexercised. The Rights

                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>

Agent shall supply the Company with such information as the Company may request
with respect to any Rights Offer Material that cannot be delivered to an ADS
Holder.

         4. In the event that, prior to the Expiration Date, any ADS Holder
notifies the Rights Agent that the Rights Offer Material to which such ADS
Holder is entitled has not been delivered, or has been lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Rights Agent will furnish to such ADS Holder a copy of the Rights
Offer Material (subject, in the case of any ADS Rights Certificate, to
compliance by the ADS Holder with the provisions of paragraph 7 of this
Article). The Company agrees to supply the Rights Agent with sufficient copies
of the Rights Offer Material for such purposes.

         5. The ADS Rights Certificates shall be substantially in form of
Exhibit A to this Agreement. The ADS Rights Certificates shall be executed on
behalf of the Company by any authorized officer of the Company (an "Authorized
Officer"), which need not be the same authorized signatory for all of the ADS
Rights Certificates, either manually or by facsimile signature. The ADS Rights
Certificates shall be countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Rights
Agent, either manually or by facsimile signature, which need not be the same
signatory for all of the ADS Rights Certificates, and no ADS Rights Certificate
shall be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned.

         The Rights Agent shall, upon written instructions of an Authorized
Officer, initially countersign and deliver ADS Rights Certificates for all ADS
Rights issuable in the Rights Offer as of the Record Date, and thereafter shall
countersign and deliver ADS Rights Certificates as otherwise provided in this
Agreement.

         In case any Authorized Officer of the Company that signed any of the
ADS Rights Certificates ceases to be an Authorized Officer of the Company before
countersignature by the ADS Rights Agent and issuance and delivery by the
Company, such ADS Rights Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the
Rights Agent, issued and delivered with the same force and effect as though the
person who signed such ADS Rights Certificates had not ceased to be such officer
of the Company; and any ADS Rights Certificate may be signed on behalf of the
Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such ADS
Rights Certificate, shall be an Authorized Officer of the Company authorized to
sign such ADS Rights Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this
Agreement any such person was not such an Authorized Officer.

         The Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at one of its offices
in New York City, books for registration and transfer of the ADS Rights issued
hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective
registered holders of the ADS Rights (each, a "Holder"), the number of ADS
Rights evidenced by each of the ADS Rights Certificates and the date of each of
the ADS Rights Certificates.

         6. At any time after the close of business on the date hereof, and at
or prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, a transfer of any ADS
Rights may

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>

be registered and any ADS Rights Certificate or ADS Rights Certificates may be
split up, combined or exchanged for another ADS Rights Certificate or ADS Rights
Certificates evidencing the same number of ADS Rights as the ADS Rights
Certificate or ADS Rights Certificates surrendered. Any registered holder
desiring to register the transfer of ADS Rights or to split up, combine or
exchange any ADS Rights Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered
to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender to the Rights Agent the ADS Rights
Certificate or ADS Rights Certificates evidencing the ADS Rights the transfer of
which is to be registered or that is or are to be split up, combined or
exchanged and, in the case of registration of transfer, shall provide a
signature guarantee. Thereupon, the ADS Rights Agent shall countersign and
deliver to the person entitled thereto an ADS Rights Certificate or ADS Rights
Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company and the Rights
Agent may require payment, by the holder of ADS Rights requesting a registration
of transfer of ADS Rights or a split-up, combination or exchange of an ADS
Rights Certificate, of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with such registration of transfer, split-up,
combination or exchange, together with reimbursement to the Company and the
Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto.

         7. Upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
an ADS Rights Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity or security in customary form and amount, and reimbursement to the
Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and
upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the ADS Rights
Certificate if mutilated, the Rights Agent shall, on behalf of the Company,
countersign and deliver a new ADS Rights Certificate of like tenor to the
registered holder in lieu of the ADS Rights Certificate so lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated.

                   ARTICLE IV. - ACCEPTANCE OF SUBSCRIPTIONS

         1. The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to receive
subscriptions for ADSs on behalf of the Company throughout the Subscription
Period and to receive ADS Rights Certificates until 5:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on December 15, 2004 (the "Guaranteed Delivery Date") in accordance with
the guaranteed delivery procedures agreed with the Company. Any funds that the
Rights Agent receives during the Subscription Period from ADS Holders in respect
of payments for ADSs shall be deposited in a non-interest bearing account at the
Rights Agent that the Rights Agent designates solely for such purpose (the
"Deposit Account"). Such funds shall remain in the Deposit Account until they
are distributed to the Company in accordance with Article VI hereof.

         2. As promptly as practicable after the Rights Agent receives each ADS
Rights Certificate, the Rights Agent shall determine whether the Holder sending
such ADS Rights Certificate has properly completed and executed such ADS Rights

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>

Certificate and has submitted the correct payment for the ADSs. If such ADS
Rights Certificate is not properly completed, is unexecuted or if such Holder
did not send the correct payment amount, then the Rights Agent will send a
notice to such Holder instructing such Holder to amend its ADS Rights
Certificate or submit the proper payment amount, as the case may be. Except as
set forth below in this Article IV, if such Holder does not amend its ADS Rights
Certificate or submit the proper payment amount, as the case may be, by the
Expiration Date, such Holder's right to purchase ADSs in the Rights Offer shall
be deemed to be unexercised.

         3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without further authorization from
the Company, except where otherwise specified or as otherwise notified in
writing by the Company prior to the Expiration Date, an ADS Rights Certificate
shall be deemed to be properly completed in any of the following circumstances:

                  (a) any subscription with respect to which a Holder has failed
    to execute an ADS Rights Certificate in the manner provided by the terms
    thereof, provided that (1) the Holder has indicated on such ADS Rights
    Certificate or by written communication the manner in which the Holder
    wishes to subscribe and (2) proper payment has been made by such Holder;

                  (b) any subscription by an individual (and not by a
    corporation, partnership or fiduciary) which is accompanied by a check drawn
    by an individual (and not by a corporation, partnership or fiduciary) other
    than the Holder, provided that (1) the ADS Rights Certificate submitted
    therewith has been duly executed by the Holder, (2) the check tendered in
    payment of such subscription is drawn for the proper amount and to the order
    of The Bank of New York and is otherwise in order, and (3) there is no
    evidence actually known to the Rights Agent indicating that such check was
    delivered to the Holder by the drawer thereof for any purpose other than the
    payment of the accompanying subscription;

                  (c) any subscription by a custodian on behalf of a minor which
    is accompanied by a check drawn by an individual (and not by a corporation,
    partnership or fiduciary) other than the Holder, if the provisos set forth
    in clause (b) above are satisfied; or

                  (d) any subscription by an individual (and not by a
    corporation, partnership or fiduciary) which is accompanied by a check drawn
    by a corporation, partnership or fiduciary other than the Holder, if the
    provisos set forth in clause (b) above are satisfied.

         4. The Rights Agent is authorized to waive proof of authority to sign
(including the right to waive signatures of co-fiduciaries and proof of
appointment or authority of any fiduciary or other person acting in a
representative capacity) in connection with any subscription with respect to
which:

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>


                  (a) the ADSs to which the ADS Rights Certificate relates are
    registered in the name of an executor, administrator, trustee, custodian for
    a minor or other fiduciary and the ADS Rights Certificate has been executed
    by such Holder, provided that the ADSs purchased are to be issued in the
    name of such Holder in that same capacity;

                  (b) the ADSs to which the ADS Rights Certificate relates are
    registered in the name of a corporation and the ADS Rights Certificate has
    been executed by an officer of such corporation, provided that the ADSs
    purchased are to be issued in the name of such corporation;

                  (c) the ADS Rights Certificate has been executed by a bank,
    trust company or broker as agent for the Holder, provided that the ADSs
    purchased are to be issued in the name of such Holder; or

                  (d) the ADS Rights to which such ADS Rights Certificate
    relates are registered in the name of a decedent and the ADS Rights
    Certificate has been executed by a person who purports to act as the
    executor or administrator of such decedent's estate, provided that (1) the
    ADSs are to be issued in the name of such person as executor or
    administrator of such decedent's estate, (2) the check tendered in payment
    of such subscription is drawn for the proper amount and to the order of The
    Bank of New York and is otherwise in order, and (3) there is no evidence
    actually known to the Rights Agent indicating that such person is not the
    duly authorized representative which such person purports to be.

         5. ADS Holders will only receive a whole number of ADS Rights. The
Rights Agent will aggregate and arrange for the sale of any fractional ADS
Rights, and will distribute the net proceeds, if any, of such sale pro rata to
the ADS Holders entitled to them.

                    ARTICLE V. - REPORTS BY THE RIGHTS AGENT

         1. The Rights Agent will advise the Company by facsimile transmission
(i) on the Commencement Date as to the total number of ADS Holders and the total
number of ADSs outstanding; and (ii) on a daily basis during the Subscription
Period as to (1) the total number of subscriptions for ADSs pursuant to the
Rights Offer that the Rights Agent has received (which have been properly
completed and executed and for which the correct payment amount was received),
and (2) the aggregate amount of funds received by the Rights Agent in payment of
such subscriptions.

         2. Not later than 7:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Guaranteed
Delivery Date, the Rights Agent will advise the Company by facsimile
transmission as to (i) the total number of ADSs subscribed for in the Rights
Offer and the total number of Shares represented thereby, (ii) the total number
of additional ADSs to be subscribed for

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>

following any reoffering and the total number of Shares represented thereby, and
(iii) the aggregate amount of funds received by the Rights Agent in payment of
such subscriptions.

 ARTICLE VI. - PAYMENTS; REFUNDS; DEDUCTIONS; INTEREST ON SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENTS


         1. (a) Promptly after the Guaranteed Delivery Date and prior to the
expiration of the subscription period in connection with the Share Rights
Offering, the Rights Agent shall instruct the Depositary to (i) exercise the
Share rights underlying the ADS Rights in respect of which the Rights Agent has
received a properly completed and executed ADS Rights Certificate and correct
payment (except as otherwise set forth in Article IV) and (ii) upon receipt by
Banco Itau S.A., as custodian under the Deposit Agreement (the "Custodian") of
the Shares delivered upon exercise of those Share rights, deliver the ADSs
issuable in respect of those Shares to the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent shall
deliver those ADSs to the Holders entitled to them as promptly as practical. The
Rights Agent shall purchase, at any commercially reasonable rate on or about
December 16, 2004, reais sufficient to exercise the amount of Share rights
specified in clause (i) above and to pay the Brazilian financial transaction
taxes, if any, applicable to that exercise and pay that amount of reais to the
Company through the Custodian on or about December 17, 2004.


(b) The Company shall notify the Rights Agent if and when unsubscribed Shares
are allocated to the Depositary in respect of subscriptions received by the
Rights Agent from Holders in excess of the amount of Shares represented by ADSs
to which the ADS Rights relate and the amount of Shares so allocated. To the
extent the Rights Agent has received properly executed subscriptions for ADSs to
represent unsubscribed Shares and correct payment for those ADSs, the Rights
Agent shall (i) no later than the deadline to subscribe for unsubscribed shares
in the applicable reoffering round, instruct the Depositary to exercise the
right to purchase such number of unsubscribed Shares as is equal to the lesser
of (A) the number of unsubscribed Shares allocated to the Depositary and (B) the
total number of unsubscribed Shares represented by ADSs for which Holders have
properly subscribed and have made correct payment to the Rights Agent, (ii) as
promptly as practical after the receipt of notice under the preceding sentence
(and, in any event, in sufficient time to enable the Depositary to subscribe for
unsubscribed shares in the applicable reoffering round prior to the deadline
therefor), purchase, at any commercially reasonable rate, reais sufficient to
purchase the number of Shares determined pursuant to clause (i) and to pay the
Brazilian financial transaction taxes applicable to that purchase and pay that
amount of reais to the Company through the Custodian and (iii) instruct the
Depositary, as promptly as practical upon receipt by the Custodian of Shares, to
deliver the ADSs issuable in respect of those Shares to the Rights Agent. Each
Holder that has properly subscribed for ADSs representing any such unsubscribed
Shares and has made correct payment therefor shall be entitled to receive its
pro rata portion of the ADSs delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence, pro
rata based on relationship that the

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

number of additional ADSs for which such Holder has subscribed bears to the
total additional ADSs representing unsubscribed Shares allocated to the
Depositary. The Rights Agent shall perform such pro rata calculation with
respect to each applicable Holder and shall deliver such ADSs to the Holders
entitled thereto as promptly as practical. If the number of additional ADSs
representing unsubscribed Shares available in the final reoffering round of such
unsubscribed Shares is insufficient to satisfy the additional subscription of
any Holder in full, the Subscription Price relating to any additional ADSs not
delivered to such Holder shall be returned to such Holder in U.S. dollars
without interest.

         2. In connection with each exchange rate conversion and payment of the
subscription price for any new ADS to the Company, the Rights Agent shall deduct
from the applicable Holder's subscription payment the ADR issuance fees payable
to the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, currency conversion
expenses and any financial transaction taxes payable to the Brazilian government
in respect of such subscription. The Rights Agent shall instruct the Custodian
to pay those financial transaction taxes to the Brazilian government.


         3. If an ADS Holder's subscription payment is insufficient to pay the
amount of the subscription price in reais plus ADS issuance fees, currency
conversion expenses and financial transaction taxes in respect of new ADSs
subscribed for and allocated, the Rights Agent shall advance the deficiency on
behalf of such Holder to the extent the deficiency does not exceed 20% of such
Holder's payment. The Rights Agent shall not be required to deliver new ADSs to
any ADS Holder until it has received from such Holder payment of any deficiency
advanced by the Rights Agent. If the Holder does not pay the amount of the
deficiency financed by the Rights Agent by January 12, 2005, the Rights Agent
may sell enough of the Holder's new ADSs to cover the amount of the deficiency.
In such event, the Rights Agent shall send the Holder promptly a new ADR
representing the remaining new ADSs and a check in the amount of any excess
proceeds, net of ADS issuance fees, conversion expenses, financial transaction
taxes and the commissions on the sale. If, however, the amount of excess
proceeds from the sale of the Holder's new ADSs, after deductions for ADS
issuance fees, currency conversion expenses, financial transaction taxes and the
commissions on the sale is less than U.S.$5.00, the Rights Agent shall aggregate
it and pay it to the Company.


         4. If, and to the extent that, the amount of any deficiency exceeds 20%
of the amount of a Holders' payment, the Rights Agent (i) shall not be required
to advance the amount of that deficiency and (ii) may reduce the amount of each
Holder's subscription for new ADSs pro rata, unless the Holder delivers to the
Rights Agent sufficient funds to cover the deficiency prior to the relevant
deadlines for subscription in the Share Rights Offering.

         5. As soon as practicable following the expiration of the Share Rights
Offering and the closing date following the last reoffering or public auction at
the Sao

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>

Paulo Stock Exchange of remaining unsubscribed Shares, if applicable,
the Company shall deposit the Shares underlying the ADSs with the Custodian.

         6. In connection with the guaranteed delivery procedures, if a
financial institution fails to deliver a properly completed and signed ADS
Rights Certificate before the Guaranteed Delivery Date, the Rights Agent shall
refund to the Holder the total subscription payment the Holder paid to the
Rights Agent (without interest), after deducting any loss and expenses it
incurred from the failed guaranteed delivery.

         7. If for any reason the Company instructs the Rights Agent in writing
that the Share Rights Offering will not proceed, the Rights Agent shall refund
the Subscription Price paid in U.S. dollars, without interest and net of
financial transaction taxes and currency conversion expenses, to the subscribing
Holders entitled thereto.

                        ARTICLE VII. - ISSUANCE OF ADRS

         1. The Rights Agent shall instruct the Depositary to execute and
deliver ADRs evidencing new ADSs purchased pursuant to the Rights Offer as soon
as practicable after receipt of the underlying Shares by the Custodian.
Following receipt from the Depositary of the ADSs properly purchased pursuant to
the Rights Offer, the Rights Agent will mail or deliver, including by book-entry
transfer, to each Holder that subscribed for new ADSs in the Rights Offer, the
number of ADSs for which such Holder has subscribed and purchased as instructed
by that Holder.

         2. For those Holders for which ADRs will be mailed, as instructed by
such Holder, the Rights Agent will mail the ADRs by first class mail under a
blanket surety bond protecting the Rights Agent and the Company from any loss or
liability arising out of the nonreceipt or nondelivery of any such ADR or the
replacement thereof. If the market value of ADRs to be mailed in any one
shipment will exceed US$1,000,000, such shipment will be sent by registered mail
and will be insured separately for the replacement value of its contents.

                     ARTICLE VIII. - LIMITATIONS OF DUTIES

         1. The Rights Agent shall have no duties or obligations other than
those specifically set forth herein, including any duties or obligations under
any other agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Rights Agent.

         2. The Rights Agent makes no, and will not be deemed to have made,
representations with respect to, and shall have no duties, responsibilities or
obligations with respect to determining, the validity, sufficiency, value or
genuineness of any Shares, ADS Rights Certificate or other documents deposited
with or delivered to it or any

                                     - 9 -

determine the correctness, validity or accurateness of any such statements or

good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper

         6. The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel for the Company or
its own counsel (which may be in-house counsel) and rely upon any opinion of
such counsel, and shall have no liability in respect of any action taken,
omitted or suffered by the Rights Agent hereunder in reliance upon, and in

by the Rights Agent for written instructions from the Company may, at the option
of the Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or
