(X) To be accumulated according to the criterion stipulated under the Contract



(  )  R$





3.  In case of liquidation of interests and finance charges, or amortization of the Principal, theBORROWER hereby irrevocably and irreversibly authorizes the BANK to debit the respective amounts from its checking account.





4.  In case it is applicable to the Contract, as indicated herein, the Floating Interest Rate, the finance charges will accrue on the new value of the Contract as stipulated herein, starting on 12/30/2009 until the maturity date, according to the conditions set forth in clause I above, meaning: (i) monetary correction parameter, and (ii) fixed interest rates.




4.1.  The “rate adjustment parameter” will be calculated exponentially and cumulatively “pro rata temporis” through the accumulation of the ID Rate (as defined below) posted for each business day of the period from the date the funds are released (included) until the date(s) of the respective maturity date(s) (excluded), each one multiplied by the percentage defined in the preamble. The rate adjustment will accrue on the amount effectively owed by the BORROWER.





4.1.1.  For the purpose of this Contract, the ID Rate is the average daily rate of Interbank Deposits for 1 (one) day, called overnight ID rate “Extra Group,” calculated and posted daily by CETIP – Central de Custódia e de Liquidação de Títulos [Clearing House for the Custody and Financial Settlement of Securities] expressly in percentage form per year, based on a 252 (two hundred and fifty-two) business-day year.





4.1.2.  In the event the ID Rates have not been posted up to the date of the effective payment of the charges, thus making impossible to calculate the final amount owed, a temporary calculation will be made on the date of payment using the latest ID Rate posted as substitute parameter.




4.1.3.  On the posting date of the final ID Rates, if not published before the effective payment date of the debt balance, a new calculation will be made using the final rates. Once the eventual difference between the temporary and the final rates is calculated, the ID earning as described in the preamble of this clause will accrue on such difference, counting from the date of the temporary payment (included) until the date of the posting of the final ID Rates (excluded). In this case, the payment of the calculated difference, duly added of the ID Tax earning, must be made by the BORROWER or by the BANK, depending on the case, on the date the final rates are published.

121 days, counting from the date of the execution of this Contract, maturing on 12/30/2009.





Whereas at Banco Santander (Brasil) S/A, located at Rua Amador Bueno, 474 – Santo Amaro,  São Paulo – SP, registered at the National Registry of Corporation of the Brazilian Ministry of the Treasury (CNPJ/MF) under No. 90.400.888/0001-42, hereinafter referred to as the BANK, has funded resources abroad, called regional currency, to back operations of  transfer of funds to customers, pursuant to the terms of Resolution No. 2770 issued on August 30, 2000 (“Resolution 2770/00”).





By these presents, the BANK and the BORROWER, both named and qualified in the preamble above (“Preamble”) have jointly agreed to enter into this Contract of Transfer of Resources Funded Abroad in Reais (“Contract”), which will be governed under the following clauses and conditions:





I – OBJECT





1.  The BANK, herein, under the terms of this Contract, extends to the BORROWER a loan in cash in the amount listed in the Preamble, by means of transfer of resources funded abroad based on Resolution No. 2770 of the National Monetary Fund, by the contervalue in Brazilian currency (“Transfer”).





1.1.  The BORROWER is responsible for all the information provided to the BANK regarding the Transfer under this Contact.





II – FORMALIZATION AND RELEASE OF THE TRANSFER





2.  The release of the funds resulting from the Transfer will be done on the date, under the conditions, and in the amount indicated in the Preamble, in Brazilian currency.





3.  The BANK shall place the funds at the BORROWER’s disposal, under the conditions set forth in the Preamble,


in their checking account at the BANK, which information is listed in the Preamble or, in the absence of an account at the BANK, in another checking account  held by the BORROWER in a financial institution to be specified by the BORROWER.

 [initials] [initialed stamp of TIM’s Legal Department]





[logo:] SANTANDER


4.  Whereas the current Brazilian Payment System (“SYSTEM”) allows for different forms of release of the Transfer funds through electronic systems, the BANK is expressly exempt, including from liability with third parties, of any and all responsibilities resulting directly or indirectly from the following events, for example: (i) interruptions in the telecommunications system as a result of failures and / or interventions by any state entity, telecommunication service provider, or services provided by third-parties (“Network”); and (ii) availability failures of the SYSTEM, in the access itself, or in the Network itself as a result of acts of God or force majeure, which can also interfere in the release or payment of the Transfer funds made through the SYSTEM, even though the aforementioned events result in financial losses for the BORROWER.





III – PAYMENTS AND CHARGES





5.  All financial charges owed by the BORROWER will be calculated from the date the funds are available until the date of the respective maturity dates stipulated in the Preamble, in addition to the financial charges owed, also described in the Preamble, which are: (i) monetary correction parameter according to CDI [ID] variation rate.





5.1.  The calculation of the financial charges owed will be done by applying the “monetary correction parameter of the daily variation of the ID rate” defined in the Preamble over the value of the principal financed, and this parameter will be calculated according to the accumulated variation of the percentage highlighted as the daily reference for the average rate of the Interbank Deposits, referred to as Overnight DI Rate “Extra Group,” expressed in percentage, calculated and published daily by CETIP – Central de Custódia e de Liquidação de Títulos [Clearing House for the Custody and Financial Settlement of Securities], hereinafter referred to as “ID Rate”. The ID Rate will be calculated exponentially and cumulatively “pro rata temporis” for each day.





5.1.1.  In case ID Rate has not been posted until the date of the effective payment of the charges, thus making impossible to calculate the final amount owed, a temporary calculation will be made on the date of payment using the ID Rate posted on the day before as substitute parameter, and the payment will be made under a temporary amount.





5.1.2.  On the posting date of the final ID Rates, if not published until the effective payment date of the debt balance, a new calculation will be made using the final rates. Once the eventual difference between the temporary and the final rates is calculated, the ID earning as described in the preamble of this clause, will accrue on such difference, counting from the date of the temporary payment (included) until the date of the posting of the final ID Rates (excluded). In this case, the payment of the calculated difference, duly added of the ID Tax earning, must be made by the BORROWER or by the BANK, depending on the case, on the date the final rates are published.




5.1.3.  In the event of extinction, suppression, or inapplicability of the ID Rate, we will use any rate or index that replaces the ID Rate, pursuant to current legislation.





5.2.  According to Clause 5.1. above, fixed interests calculated exponentially based on a 360-day calendar year, may accrue on the amount of the principal financed, duly updated according to the “monetary correction parameter of the daily variation of the ID rate,” calculated from the date of the availability of the funds to the BORROWER.

In the event of default, the late charges set forth in this Contract will apply, including over any payment notices that the BANK may have send – also from the day following the due date of said obligations.





6.1. To the exception of payments made through payment vouchers, eventual payments made by the BORROWER with its own check, credit documents, or any other document cleared by the Centralizadora da Compensação de Chequas e outros Papéis, will only be deemed as official liquidated and / or received, when they are converted into immediately available funds and, as a result, will incur charges for the use of credit during such period.

8.  The payment of the amounts owed by the BORROWER will be made as follows:





(i) in installments, on the dates listed on the Preamble; or





(ii) in one single installment, on the date listed in the Preamble.
