WHEREAS on January 26th, 2010, Sellers, Buyer, Vale and Bunge Ltd., the last two as consenting intervening parties, entered into the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement and Other Covenants (“Agreement”), by which, subject to certain conditions precedent set forth in the Agreement, which as of the present date have not occurred or been waived, Sellers will sell to Buyer all the Purchased Shares, representing 100% (one hundred percent) of the total and voting capital of BPI – Bunge Participações e Investimentos S.A., a corporation with headquarters in the city of São Paulo, São Paulo state, at Avenida Maria Coelho Aguiar, 216, Block D, 5th Floor, Room A, Jardim São Luís, CEP 05804-900, enrolled on the CNPJ/MF under no. 08.404.776/0001-89, with its incorporation papers on file at JUCESP under NIRE 35.300.335.805 (“Company”);

WHEREAS the Agreement establishes that the Closing must occur always on the last day of every month (or if this is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter), but the Parties, if all the conditions precedent established in the Agreement are satisfied, want to be able to conclude the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares on a date other than the last day of the month (or the subsequent Business Day), and thus want to regulate the rules for calculating the Final Working Capital, Final Net Indebtedness and Changes to the Fixed Assets in this case.

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties enter into this First Amendment to the Agreement for Share Purchase and Sale Agreement and Other Covenants (“Amendment”), according to the following terms and conditions, which they mutually grant and accept, namely:

3.         RESPONSIBILITY FOR REGISTERING LEGAL ACTS

3.1.      The Parties recognize that the amendments executed with CBMM and CODEMIG related to the lease agreements extended thereby, and referred to in the second recital in the present instrument, have not yet been conclusively registered with the DNPM. However, the Parties agree that the referred registration shall not impede the conclusion of the Closing, and deem the conditions precedent established in Clauses 5.2 (b) and (c) of the Agreement to have been satisfied. Notwithstanding, the publication by CODEMIG of the extracts of referred

amendments to the lease agreements in the Official Gazette of the State of Minas Gerais shall occur prior to the Closing, as a condition precedent to the obligation of the Parties to conclude the Closing.

3.2.      Notwithstanding any provision otherwise contained in the Contract, BFE undertakes to perform all necessary acts for the formalization and registration of referred amendments to the lease agreements with CBMM and CODEMIG before the DNPM, and shall be liable for any obstacles for the referred registry before the DNPM related to acts, facts or events prior to the Closing.

4.         METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE FINAL WORKING CAPITAL, FINAL NET INDEBTEDNESS AND CHANGES TO THE FIXED ASSETS

4.1.      The Parties agree that, should they mutually decide to carry out the Closing on May, 2010, on any date other than the last day of the month (or, if this is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day thereafter), the Final Working Capital, Final Net Indebtedness and Changes to the Fixed Assets, for purposes of the Agreement, shall be calculated as of May 31st, 2010 and not as of the Closing Date, as originally provided for in Section 3.2 of the Agreement. All the other procedures for the revision of the Base Price established in Clause 3.2 and its sub-items must be observed by the Parties and their respective auditors.

4.2.      If the event provided for in Section 4.1 takes place in the period between the Closing Date and May 31st, 2010, including this last day, Buyer will cause the Company, including with respect to the Establishments and Assets and the Subsidiaries (to the extent of and subject to Company’s powers  as shareholder or quotaholders of each Subsidiary), to carry on its business in the ordinary course of business, so that any changes, within the aforementioned period, in the items that compose of the Final Working Capital, Net Indebtedness and the Changes to the Fixed Assets of the Company are consistent with the past practices of the Company. Without prejudice to the foregoing provision, within the aforementioned period, the Buyer undertakes not to approve or perform, with respect to the Company, and shall not permit the Company to approve or perform, without the prior consent of the Sellers, the acts provided for in Section 6.2 of the Agreement, as well as the execution of any other agreement with any related parties to the Buyer.
