Under the terms of CVM Regulation 400, Article 21, in order to assure that the Shareholders that hold Company’s shares on the First Record Date (as defined below) (“Shareholders”) participate in the Global Offering, the custody position of the Shareholders at the BM&FBOVESPA or at the depositary institution of the shares issued by the Company will be considered (a) as of the end of the day on September 10, 2010 (“First Record Date”); and (b) as of the end of the day on September 17, 2010 (“Second Record Date”). The Priority Subscription is directed exclusively to the Shareholders that hold the Company’s shares on the First Record Date. If the participation of the Shareholder in the capital stock of the Company changes between the First Record Date and the Second Record Date, the respective Proportional Subscription Limit (as defined below) will be modified proportionally to the variation of the custody position of such Shareholder between the First Record Date and the Second Record Date.
The subscription for Priority Shares will be guaranteed for each Shareholder that presents a reservation request during the Reservation Period of the Priority Subscription (as defined below), proportional to the participation of such Shareholder, per class of share, in the total number of common and preferred shares comprising the total capital stock of the Company on the Second Record Date, rounding up to the next whole number of Shares (“Proportional Subscription Limit”). The Shareholders that present a reservation request shall set a maximum investment amount, and may set a maximum price per Common Share and/or per Preferred Share as a condition to their participation in the Priority Subscription. Private negotiations with Shareholders regarding their priority allocation rights in the Priority Subscription will not be allowed.
The placement of the Shares in Brazil will be carried out in accordance with the Instrumento Particular de Contrato de Coordenação, Colocação e Garantia Firme de Liquidação de Ações Ordinárias e Ações Preferenciais de Emissão da Companhia, to be entered into among the Company, the Global Coordinators, the Retail Offering Coordinator and the BM&FBOVESPA, as mediating party (“Brazilian Underwriting Agreement”).

The Brazilian Offering Shares will be distributed in the over-the-counter-market, on a firm commitment basis, severally and not jointly, except for the Shares subscribed by the Brazilian Government, by BNDES Participações S.A. — BNDESPAR and/or other parties related to the Brazilian Government, and by Mutual Privatization Funds (“FMP”) holding funds from account(s) related to the unemployment guarantee fund (“FGTS”) with the Caixa Econômica Federal (“CEF”).

The Shareholder declares it understands that this Reservation Request for Common Shareholders shall be presented between, and including, September 13, 2010 and September 14, 2010, for Shareholders that are Related Parties (as defined below) (“Reservation Period for Related Parties”), and between, and including, September 13, 2010 and September 16, 2010, for Shareholders that are not Related Parties (“Reservation Period for Non-Related Parties” and, together with the Reservation Period for Related Parties, “Priority Subscription Reservation Period”). This Reservation Request for Common Shareholders is not applicable for FMPs (which must present a specific reservation request), and may only be presented by Shareholders exclusively during the Priority Subscription Reservation Period.

The Shareholder shall verify with the Institutions Participating in the Brazilian Offering, prior to submitting its Reservation Request for Common Shareholders, any requirements related to opening and maintaining bank accounts or investment accounts in each such institution.
Except as expressly set forth in this Reservation Request for Common Shareholders, the terms in capital letters herein will have the same definition as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus of the Global Offering (“Preliminary Prospectus”), made available to the Shareholder at the submission of this Reservation Request for Common Shareholders.

In addition to the Additional Shares Option, under the terms of CVM Regulation 400, Article 24, the number of Shares initially offered may be increased in an amount up to 187,997,094 Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares issued by the Company, including shares in the form of ADS, corresponding to up to 5% of the Shares initially offered (“Over-Allotment Shares”, “Over-Allotment ADSs” and, as the case may be, “Over-Allotment Option”) under the same terms and conditions under which the Shares are initially offered. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised by Morgan Stanley, after notifying the other Global Coordinators, since the decision to exercise Over-Allotment must be made together with the other Global Coordinators (in full or in part), after the registration of the Global Offering with the CVM and with the SEC, as of the date of execution of the Brazilian Underwriting Agreement and the International Underwriting Agreement, for a period of 30 days from and including the date of publication of the notice to the market informing the beginning of the Global Offering (“Initial Notice”), under the same terms and conditions under which the Shares are initially offered. The Over-Allotment Shares and Additional ADS will be exclusively directed at covering any excess demand for the Shares and ADS in the Global Offering. The Over-Allotment Option consists of, at the moment of the definition of the Price per Share, (a) an option granted by the Company to the Global Coordinators (“Over-Allotment Shares Option”); and (b) an option granted by the Company to the Global Underwriters of the International Offering (“Over-Allotment ADS Option”).
The Brazilian Offering Shares will be distributed in the over-the-counter-market, on a firm commitment basis, severally and not jointly, except for the Shares subscribed by the Brazilian Government, by BNDES Participações S.A. — BNDESPAR and/or other entities related to the Brazilian Government, and by Mutual Privatization Funds (“FMP”) holding funds from account(s) related to the unemployment guarantee fund (“FGTS”) with the Caixa Econômica Federal (“CEF”). The firm commitment made exclusively by the Global Coordinators and by the Retail Offering Coordinator on the settlement date will be granted under the terms of the Brazilian Underwriting Agreement, and it will be binding as of the conclusion of the Bookbuilding Process (as defined below), the Brazilian Underwriting Agreement and of the International Underwriting Agreement, the registration of the Global Offering with the CVM and the SEC, and the publication of the Initial Notice. The Brazilian Offering Shares that are placed outside Brazil by the International Underwriters together with the International Placement Agents to Foreign Investors will be subscribed and paid for in Brazil.

The LFT may be used exclusively by, and at the exclusive discretion of, the Shareholders in the Priority Subscription, to pay for the Priority Shares. According to the aforementioned General Shareholders’ Meeting and the terms it established, the criteria for determining the unit price of each LFT Series was determined from the average trading price of each LFT Series (“LFT Unit Price”), as published by the ANBIMA — Associação Brasileira das Entidades dos Mercados Financeiro e de Capitais (“ANBIMA”), ascertained on a report (“Valuation Report”) by PricewaterhouseCoopers Corporate Finance & Recovery Ltda.

The Shareholders that choose to pay for the Shares by means of LFT shall make available to the Institution Participating in the Brazilian Offering that receives the respective reservation request for the Priority Subscription the LFT corresponding to the total amount of Priority Shares that such Shareholder will pay for in a custody account with such Institution Participating in the Brazilian Offering.

The Shareholders that choose to pay for the Priority Shares by means of LFT and that do not comply with the conditions described above for the use of LFT shall settle the total subscribed Shares exclusively in Brazilian reais.
The Shareholder declares it understands that this Reservation Request for Preferred Shareholders shall be presented between, and including, September 13, 2010 and September 14, 2010, for Shareholders that are Related Parties (as defined below) (“Reservation Period for Related Parties”), and between, and including, September 13, 2010 and September 16, 2010, for Shareholders that are not Related Parties (“Reservation Period for Non-Related Parties” and, together with the Reservation Period for Related Parties, “Priority Subscription Reservation Period”).

3.   The Common Shares entitle its holders the rights, advantages and restrictions set forth in the Company’s bylaws and in the Brazilian Corporate Law, including the right to vote at the shareholders meetings. Each Common Share corresponds to one vote. Additionally, Common Shares holders are entitled to additional benefits, such as distribution of dividends and any other earnings that are declared after the subscription to the Common Shares.

Preferred Shares entitle its holders to the distribution of dividends, in accordance with the following criteria: (a) priority in the distribution of dividends, at a minimum of 5% of the percentage of the Company’s capital stock represented by preferred shares, or 3% of the preferred shares net assets, whichever is higher; (b) the right to participate in the distribution of dividends, under the same terms and conditions as the common shares, after common shares holders receive the percentages above described.
