Closure and drawing up of the minutes certificate: It is hereby recorded that the material pertinent to the items deliberated at this Board of Directors Meeting is on file at the Company's headquarters.

The other resolutions held at this meeting were omitted from this certificate, as they related to interests merely internal to the Company, a legitimate precaution, supported by the duty of confidentiality of the Management, according to the "caput" of article 155 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, and are therefore outside the scope of the rule contained in paragraph 1 of article 142 of the aforementioned Law.
