SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. It is
not complete and may not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the global bonds. You should
read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully.
The Issuer
Overview
Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world and occupies nearly half the land area of South America. Brazil shares a border
with every country in South America except Chile and Ecuador. The capital of Brazil is Brasília, and the official language is
Portuguese. On December 31, 2010, Brazil's estimated population was 193.3 million.
Brazil is a federative republic with broad powers granted to the federal Government. Brazil is officially divided into five regions
consisting of 26 States and the Federal District, where Brasília is located.
Government
The federal Constitution provides for three independent branches of Government: an executive branch headed by the
President; a legislative branch consisting of the bicameral National Congress, composed of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies; and a
judicial branch consisting of the Federal Supreme Court and lower federal and State courts.
Under the Constitution, the President is elected by direct vote for a four year term. A constitutional amendment adopted in
June 1997 permits re-election for a second term of the President and certain other elected officials. The President's powers include the
right to appoint ministers and key executives in selected administrative posts.
The legislative branch of Government consists of a bicameral National Congress composed of the Senate and the Chamber of
Deputies. The Senate is composed of 81 Senators, elected for staggered eight-year terms, and the Chamber of Deputies has 513
Deputies, elected for concurrent four-year terms. Each State and the Federal District is entitled to three Senators. The number of
Deputies is based on a proportional representation system weighted in favor of the less populated States which, as the population
increases in the larger States, assures the smaller States an important role in the National Congress. During the last election, which
took place on October 3, 2010, 513 deputies and 54 of 81 senators were elected. These officials took office on February 1, 2011.
The judicial power is exercised by the Federal Supreme Court (composed of 11 Justices), the Superior Court of Justice
(composed of 33 Justices), the Federal Regional Courts (appeals courts), military courts, labor courts, electoral courts and the several
lower federal courts and state courts, both appellate and first instance courts. The Federal Supreme Court, whose members are
appointed by the President for life (with mandatory retirement at 70 years of age), has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over decisions
rendered by lower federal and State courts on Constitutional matters.
Following two decades of military governments, in 1985 Brazil made a successful transition to civilian authority and
democratic government. A new Brazilian Constitution was adopted in 1988. In 1989, direct presidential elections were held for the
first time in 29 years. On October 3, 2010, the Workers` Party (PT) candidate, Dilma Vana Rousseff, was elected Brazil's first female
President. She took office on January 1, 2011, replacing the outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and has continued a policy
of maintaining strong macro-economic fundamentals.

RISK FACTORS
This section describes certain risks associated with investing in the global bonds. You should consult your financial and legal
advisors about the risk of investing in the global bonds. Brazil disclaims any responsibility for advising you on these matters.
The information in this section is directed to investors who are U.S. residents and does not address risks for investors who are
not U.S. residents. We disclaim any responsibility to advise prospective purchasers who are residents of countries other than the
United States with respect to any matters that may affect the purchase, holding or receipt of payments of the global bonds. If you are
not a U.S. resident, you should consult your own financial and legal advisors.
Risk Factors Relating to the Global Bonds
The price at which the global bonds will trade in the secondary market is uncertain.
Brazil has been advised by the underwriters that they intend to make a market in the global bonds but are not obligated to do so
and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. Application has been made to list the global bonds on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to have the global bonds admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market. We cannot assure you as to
the liquidity of the trading market for the global bonds. The price at which the global bonds will trade in the secondary market is
uncertain.
The global bonds will contain provisions that permit Brazil to amend the payment terms without the consent of all holders.
The global bonds will be designated Collective Action Securities and, as such, will contain provisions regarding acceleration
and voting on future amendments, modifications, changes and waivers, which are commonly referred to as "collective action clauses."
Under these provisions, certain key provisions of the global bonds may be amended, including the maturity date, interest rate and
other payment terms, with the consent of the holders of 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding global bonds. See
"Description of the Global Bonds--Default; Acceleration of Maturity" and "--Amendments and Waivers" in this prospectus
supplement and "Collective Action Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.
Risk Factors Relating to Brazil
Brazil is a foreign state and accordingly it may be difficult to obtain or enforce judgments against it.
Brazil is a foreign state. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within their own jurisdiction
upon Brazil or to enforce against Brazil judgments obtained in their own jurisdiction. See "Arbitration and Enforceability" in the
accompanying prospectus.
Brazil's economy remains vulnerable to external shocks, including the global economic crisis that began in 2008 and other
shocks that could be caused by future significant economic difficulties of its major regional trading partners or by more general
"contagion" effects, which could have a material adverse effect on Brazil's economic growth and its ability to service its public debt.
Brazil's economy remains vulnerable to external shocks, including the global economic crisis that began in 2008. Asia and
the European Union are Brazil's largest export markets. While Brazil exports a more diversified bundle of exports, both in terms of
products and destinations, relative to its peers, a significant decline in the economic growth or demand for imports of any of Brazil's
major trading partners, such as the European Union, China or the United States, could have a material adverse impact on Brazil's
exports and balance of trade and adversely affect Brazil's economic growth.
S-7

In addition, because international investors' reactions to the events occurring in one emerging market country sometimes
produce a "contagion" effect, in which an entire region or class of investment is disfavored by international investors, Brazil could be
adversely affected by negative economic or financial developments in other countries. While in recent years Brazil has reduced its
external vulnerability and consolidated sound macroeconomic policies, Brazil has been adversely affected by such contagion effects
on a number of occasions, including following the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the 1998 Russian financial crisis, the 2001 Argentine
financial crisis and the current global economic crisis. Similar developments may affect the Brazilian economy in the future.
We cannot assure you that any crises such as those described above or similar events will not negatively affect investor
confidence in mature market economies, emerging markets or the economies of the principal countries in Latin America, including
Brazil. In addition, we cannot assure you that these events will not adversely affect Brazil's economy and its ability to raise capital in
the external debt markets in the future. See "Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus supplement.
