To replace the concept of “SFH Indebtedness” set forth in line (b) of line (m) of item 4.12.1 of the Indenture with the concept of “Project Indebtedness”, defined as follows: “Project Indebtedness is the sum of all of Gafisa’s loan agreements entered into for the purpose of financing construction and whose funds originate in the Housing Financial System – SFH or the Severance Fund – FGTS (including the loan agreements of its subsidiaries, considered pro rata to Gafisa’s interest in each of them)”; 3. To amend the formula provided in item 1 of line (m) of item 4.12.1 of the Indenture by including “Project Indebtedness” in the numerator and “Minority Interest” in the denominator, as follows: “Total Indebtedness – Project Indebtedness – Cash / (Shareholders’ Equity + Minority Interest) 75%. Amounts relating to the FIDC (asset-backed fund) entered in the Minority Interest account shall not be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the covenant; 4. To include a clause on Early Redemption of the outstanding debentures against payment of the nominal value per unit plus yield, as provided in the Indenture, without payment of premium; and 5. Upon approval of the matters mentioned in items 1 through 4 above, to resolve on (i) increasing the yield of the debentures specified in item 4.9 of the Indenture, as per the proposal to be submitted by the Company, or (ii) payment of premium.

Upon satisfaction of legal formalities, the Chairman resumed the works of the meeting adjourned on 13 July 2009. Next, resolutions were adopted.
