Assignment and Pledge of Incomes Agreements 

     All of the Credit Facilities are secured by the Assignment and Pledge of Incomes Agreement entered into by and among the Company and BNDES on August 13, 2004 (as amended on November 14, 2006 and January 9, 2008), which
provides that the income from the telecommunications services rendered by the Company to its users will be deposited in a pledged account in order to secure the obligations under the Credit Facilities. 

     On August 8, 2004, BNDES, Banco do Brasil S.A., Banco Itaú S.A., the Company, 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S.A. and Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. entered into an Assignment and Pledge of Incomes Agreement, in which the Company assigned and pledged as security to BNDES its incomes in the fixed amount of
R$442 million. Such amount corresponds to the sum of the greater of the following parameters, to be accrued for each of the financings: (i) 25% (twenty-five percent) of the respective debt amount; or (ii) the sum of the amortization installment
of the main debt, due over the next 6 months. On November 16, 2006, this agreement was amended to extend to Credit 06.  Finally, on January 9, 2008, the agreement was amended again to extend to Credit 07. 

     The amounts deposited in the pledged account may be blocked through communications between BNDES and the Banco Itaú S.A., in the case of default under any financial obligation, a breach of any financial covenant,
or certain other breaches of the Credit Facilities. 

     The Company agreed not to assign, bind, cede, transfer, sell, burden, pledge, bond, or, in any way negotiate the pledged incomes, or to grant any right to any other creditor with respect to the pledged collateral
account without the express prior consent of BNDES, under the penalty of early acceleration of the financing agreements. 

     All of the agreements mentioned above are also subject to the “General Provisions” applicable to BNDES agreements, established by BNDES Resolution no. 665/87. 

Events of Default 

     All of the Credit Facilities are subject to events of default which may lead to termination of the Credit Facilities. 

     According to Articles 39 and 40 of the BNDES agreements, BNDES may declare the early maturity of an agreement and immediately demand the debt upon the occurrence of: (i) default of any obligation by the Company or by Brasil Telecom Participações S.A.; (ii) cross-default of any company belonging to the same economic group of the Company, under other agreements entered into with BNDES or any of
its subsidiaries; (iii) effective, direct or indirect change of control of the Company, without the express prior consent of BNDES; or (iv) legal proceeding or any event adversely affecting the security tendered in favor of BNDES. 

      If any event of default shall occur, BNDES may consider all other agreements entered into with the Company accelerated, subject to the imposition of penalties. 

     Moreover, the Credit Facilities establish other events of default as follows: 

	
a)	
      a reduction of the number of employees of the Company without regard to the labor provisions of the respective Credit Facilities to provide a training program targeted towards job opportunities in the sector and/or a program for the reallocation of
    employees into other companies; or	

	 
	
b)	
      the inclusion in any corporate agreement, in the by-laws or in the articles of association of the Company, or any of its controlling companies, of any provision setting a requirement of a special “quorum” for the deliberation or approval
    of subjects which may limit or restrict the control of any of these companies by the respective controllers, as well as the inclusion in such documents of provisions that may: 

	 
	 	
i)	
restrict the ability of the Company to grow or develop its technologies;	
	 
	 	
ii)	
restrict the ability of the Company to access new markets; or	
	 
	 	
iii)	
restrict or damage the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations arising under the Credit Facilities.	
	 

     Finally, with respect to Credit 06 and Credit 07, the declaration of early termination of the debentures issued by the Company on June 1, 2006, registered at CVM under No. CVM/SER/DEB/2006/020, will also constitute an
event of default.EX-10.1
