1. Reasons for the Transaction
1.1. As mentioned, the Merger encompasses a project associating both GAFISA and TENDA for the joint development of real estate enterprises for the low income sector in Brazil, whose implementation will take place in compliance with the provisions set forth in this Protocol and Justification and in the Agreement on Non-Competition, Exclusivity, Non-Solicitation, Lock up of Shares and Others, also signed on this date. The low income sector shall mean the one consisting of enterprises established for construction, real state syndication and/or sale of real estate units with an average value of less than R$150,000.00 for units built and sold.
1.2. After the Merger, TENDA will remain a publicly-held company listed with the Novo Mercado segment of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BVSP), working towards the purposes described in the Recitals (i), being from then on endowed with the financial, human and technical resources of FIT and GAFISA.
1.3. The managements of both TENDA and FIT believe that the Merger may bring benefits for TENDA and the partners of FIT and GAFISA, insofar as it may generate significant business synergies and result in combined savings on technical costs, supplies and other overhead, although TENDA remains a corporate legal entity separated from Gafisa, as is intended.
2. Other Conditions to which the Merger is subject (Article 224, VII of Law No.6,404/76)
2.1. Confirmation of the preliminary information and data on both TENDA and FIT, through the accounting and financial due diligence procedures to be conducted by the managers of both TENDA and FIT as applicable, during the 30 days subsequent to the date of signature of the Protocol and Justification (Due Diligence).
2.2. On the Merger date, FIT shall: (i) have a Capital Stock of at least R$420 million, fully subscribed and paid in; and (ii) a Net Cash of at least R$300 million.
3
2.2.1. For the purposes of this Protocol and Justification, Net Cash shall mean the sum of the cash equivalents and short term financial investments, less short and long term loans and financing.
2.3. At the discretion of its partners and prior to any capital increase that might be necessary to comply with the conditions mentioned in item 2.2, FIT may be transformed into a joint-stock company, in which case all references to quotas or partners of FIT in this Protocol and Justification shall be read as references to the shares or shareholders of FIT.
2.4. The Merger has already been approved by the boards of both GAFISA and TENDA and will be submitted to the shareholders and partners of TENDA and FIT, respectively.
2.5. The transaction encompassed by this Protocol and Justification will be notified to the regulatory and anti-trust authorities in Brazil and abroad within the legal terms.
3. Basis of the Merger
3.1. The Merger will be undertaken in a manner whereby TENDA receives at the respective book values thereof, as set forth in the Sole Paragraph of Article 9 of Instruction No. 469/08 issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) related to the application of Paragraph 3 of Article 226 of Law No. 6,404/76 all the assets, rights and obligations of FIT, including its real estate, whose descriptions and identifications will be listed in an Exhibit appended to the Minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting of TENDA that resolves on the Merger.
3.2. As a result of the Merger, TENDA shall increase its net equity corresponding to the total value of the net equity of FIT to be absorbed.
4. Exchange ratio, number and type of shares to be attributed to FITs shareholders and rights of shares
4.1. It is estimated that 240,391,470 registered common shares issued by TENDA shall be attributed to FIT partners, proportionally to their respective stakes in the capital of FIT. The exchange ratio between FIT quotas and shares issued by TENDA has been established on an equitative basis, based on the economic and financial appraisals of both TENDA and FIT, following the same criteria and on the same date.
4.2. The number of TENDA shares to be attributed to FIT partners, as established in Clause 4.1, does not consider the effects of the Due Diligence. Therefore, once the Due Diligence has been completed, this figure may be recalculated on the basis of the formula presented below, in compliance with the procedures established in Clause 4.3:
Delta: number of shares to be added or deducted from the number of shares to be received from Gafisa, mentioned in Clause 4.1
4
Part: stakes held by FIT partners in TENDA after the Merger, considering the adjustments arising from the Due Diligence, to be calculated as follows:
VAFIT: adjusted value of FIT stake calculated as:
AdFIT: adjustments to the value of net equity of FIT on the Reference Date found in the Due Diligence, in millions of Brazilian Reais.
AdTENDA: adjustments to the value of the asset base of TENDA found in the Due Diligence, where the asset base of TENDA is defined as the sum of: (i) the net equity on the Reference Date with (ii) the difference in the sales revenues to allocate and the cost of units sold to allocate complying with the definition established in Resolution No. 963 issued by the Federal Accounting Council (CFC), in millions of Brazilian Reais (with this sum being defined as the Asset Base). Adjustments in the receivable accounts lines will be calculated only if exceeds R$ 20,000,000.00.
VATENDA: adjusted value of TENDA stake, calculated as:
4.3. The AdFIT and the AdTENDA will be calculated within a 5 (five)-day period after the expiration date of a 30 (thirty)-day period stipulated in Item 2.1, by auditors appointed by the managers of both TENDA and FIT respectively (Auditors). In case the managers of either TENDA or FIT disagree on the values presented by the Auditors for the AdFIT and the AdTENDA, such managers shall, within no more than five days after becoming aware of the above-mentioned values, notify the managers of the other company of such disagreement (Notification of Disagreement). If the managers of FIT and TENDA fail to reach an agreement on the AdFIT or the AdTENDA, as applicable, during a 10(ten)-day period subsequent to the receipt of the Notification of Disagreement, the Auditors will appoint a third party auditor among Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Ernst & Young and KPMG (Third Party Auditor), which will establish the adjustment under discussion. The value presented by the Third Party Auditor will be definitive and binding the managers of TENDA and FIT. If the Auditors not reach consensus on the Third Party Auditor, it will be appointed through a random draw from among those mentioned above.
4.4.In case the AdFIT reduces the net equity of FIT on the Reference Date by an amount exceeding R$84,000,000,00, the managers of TENDA may opt, at its own discretion, not to submit the Merger to TENDA shareholders.
4.5.In case AdTENDA reduces the Asset Base by an amount exceeding 20% on the Reference Date, the managers of FIT may opt, at its sole discretion, not to submit the Merger to FIT partners.
5
4.6. Having exercised any of the options mentioned in Items 4.4 and/or 4.5, the Merger will not take place, with this Protocol and Justification being terminated with no indemnification.
4.7. The TENDA shares to be attributed to GAFISA in order to substitute the current FIT quotas which will be extinguished, will have the same rights as the outstanding shares issued by TENDA, sharing in the profits of the current fiscal year and declared as from now on. The statutory advantages and rights of the outstanding common shares issued by TENDA will remain unaltered.
5. Appraisal criteria for FIT assets and treatment of equity variations
5.1. The net equity of FIT will be merged into at book value, based on the elements presented in the balance sheet specially drawn up for this purposes dated June 30, 2008 (Reference Date) and duly audited for the purposes of the provision set forth in Article 12 of Instruction No. 319/99 issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), adjusted in order to reflect the provision set forth in Item 2.2 of this Protocol and Justification, and any other relevant and subsequent event thereto.
5.2. Without adversely affecting the provisions set forth in Item 4.2, the Merger will be undertaken at the value of the net equity of FIT supported by an appraisal report to be drawn up by a specialized company that will be contracted by TENDA, with regard to which there may be no conflict or community of interests, whether current or potential, with the controllers of TENDA or FIT, or the respective minority shareholders thereof, or regarding the Merger itself (Appraisal Report). The Appraisal Report will be submitted to TENDA shareholders approval.
5.3. The equity variations verified as from the Reference Date through the date of which the Merger is completed will be appropriated by TENDA.

6.3. The Merger of the net equity of FIT will result in an increase of the net equity of TENDA by the same amount as mentioned in Item 6.1 above and by the resulting increase of the capital stock thereof, with the effective value of the capital stock increase of TENDA taking into account an amount to be set aside in the capital reserve, still to be defined. The above-mentioned capital stock will be divided into 400,652,450 shares, with these figures being subject to the adjustments arising from the facts mentioned in Item 4.2 above.
6.4. All FIT quotas will be canceled by the Merger, being substituted by new shares issued by TENDA to be issued as set forth in this Protocol and Justification.
6
7. Amendment to TENDA By-Laws
