 FORM OF RIGHTS AGENCY AGREEMENT 


The Bank of New York 

101 Barlcay Street, 11E 

Reorganization Administration 

New York, New York 10286 


Ladies and Gentlemen: 


     RIGHTS AGENCY AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of ___________, 2007, between Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (the ”Company”), incorporated under the laws of the Federative
Republic of Brazil, and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York banking corporation (the “Rights Agent”). 


     WHEREAS, the Company will grant to owners of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) issued under the Deposit Agreement dated as of June 23, 2004, among the Company, The Bank of New York, as Depositary (the
“Depositary”) and all holders of ADSs issued thereunder from time to time (the “Deposit Agreement”), that are registered on the books of the Depositary (the “Owners”), the right to purchase additional ADSs at a
subscription price of US$31.44 (the “Rights Offer”). Each ADS represents one preferred share, with no par value (“Shares”), of the Company. 


     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Rights Offer, each Owner may subscribe for additional ADS in excess of the number of ADSs that such Owner is entitled to purchase. Following the expiration of the subscription period in
connection with the related share rights offering by the Company in Brazil, to the extent unsubscribed Shares are reoffered to the Depositary as a result of unexercised share rights and ADS Rights, each Owner will be allocated additional new ADSs in
proportion to the number of additional ADSs for which such ADS Holder has subscribed, in each case as described in the Prospectus. 


     WHEREAS, the Rights Offer is expected to be commenced on or about April 23, 2007. The Rights Offer will be made to each of the Owners by means of the prospectus dated 
_________________
 (the
“Prospectus”), which will be accompanied by a Subscription Card containing instructions with respect to the number of ADSs that may be purchased, the method for subscribing and the delivery of payment (the “Subscription Card”).
The section of the Subscription Card entitled Instructions with Respect to the Rights Offer is to be used by the Owners to subscribe for additional ADSs in the Rights Offer (the “Owner’s Instructions”). 


     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein, the Company and the Rights Agent hereby agree as follows: 










     ARTICLE I -- APPOINTMENT OF THE RIGHTS AGENT 


     The Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York as the Rights Agent of the Company in connection with the Rights Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and The Bank of New York hereby
accepts such appointment and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon execution of this Agreement.


      ARTICLE II -- TERMS OF RIGHTS OFFER 


     1. The terms of the Rights Offer are set forth in the Prospectus.  The subscription period will commence on or about April 23, 2007 (the “Commencement Date”) and will end on May 16, 2007 (the “Expiration
Date”). The Commencement Date through 5 p.m. New York time on the Expiration Date will constitute the subscription period (the “Subscription Period”). 


2.   Owners holding ADSs as of April 19, 2007 (the “Record Date”) may purchase ADSs pursuant to the Rights Offer at the subscription price of $31.44 per ADS (the “Subscription Price”) plus an additional 5%. The additional 5% represents an allowance for potential fluctuations in the exchange rate between the
Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar, conversion expenses, ADS issuance fees of the depositary of US$0.05 per new ADS and financial transaction taxes in Brazil. Owners who are exercising their rights to subscribe ADS in the Rights Offer may
in certain circumstances subscribe for additional ADSs as described in the Prospectus. 


     If any ADSs remain unsubscribed following the reoffering round, the Company may reduce the size of the offering.  After the announcement of any such decrease in the size of the offering, holders of the Company’s
preferred shares in Brazil will have the opportunity to reconsider their intention to further subscribe for the preferred shares.  This opportunity will not be granted to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act)
and other holders of our preferred shares and ADSs in the United States.


      ARTICLE III -- DELIVERY OF RIGHTS OFFER MATERIAL 


     1. On or before four (4) days prior to the Commencement Date, the Company will deliver to the Rights Agent sufficient copies of the Prospectus, the Subscription Card (including instructions as to the use thereof and, on the reverse thereof, a substitute Form W-9), Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer
Identification Number of Substitute Form W-9 (the “Guidelines”). 


     2. Unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Company, on the Commencement Date the Rights Agent shall send to each Owner as of the Record Date (i) a Prospectus, (ii) a Subscription Card, (iii) the Guidelines, and (iv) a return envelope 


 2










addressed to the Rights Agent for use by such Owner (such material, collectively, the “Rights Offer Material”). 


     3. In the event that the Rights Offer Material is returned to the Rights Agent for any reason and a proper delivery thereof cannot be effected to an Owner, the Rights Agent shall hold such Rights Offer Material and the related Owner’s right to purchase ADSs under the Rights Offer will be treated as unexercised. The
Rights Agent shall supply the Company with such information as the Company may request with respect to any Rights Offer Material that cannot be delivered to an Owner. 


     4. In the event that, prior to the Expiration Date, any Owner notifies the Rights Agent that the Rights Offer Material to which such Owner is entitled has not been delivered, or has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Rights Agent will furnish to such Owner a copy of the Rights Offer Material. The Company agrees to supply
the Rights Agent with sufficient copies of the Rights Offer Materials for such purposes.

Account until they are distributed to the Company in accordance with Article VI, paragraph 1 hereof. 


     As promptly as practicable after the Rights Agent receives each Owner's Instruction, the Rights Agent shall determine whether the Owner sending such Owner's Instruction has properly completed and executed such forms and

its Owner's Instruction or submit the proper payment amount, as the case may be. Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IV, if such Owner does not amend its Owner's Instruction or submit the proper payment amount, as the case may be, by the
Expiration Date, such Owner's right to purchase ADSs in the Rights Offer shall be deemed to be unexercised.
