The Republic represents and warrants on the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, unless otherwise stated, to each of the Underwriters as follows:

Such registration statement, as amended as of the Execution Time, together with the Base Prospectus constituting a part thereof, any prospectus supplement relating to the Notes, meet the requirements set forth in Release No. 33-6424 (the “Release”) and Schedule B under the Securities Act. The Republic has filed a preliminary prospectus supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (“Rule 424(b)”), which has been furnished to the Underwriters (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), and proposes to file with the Commission, pursuant to Rule 424(b), a supplement to the Base Prospectus (the “Prospectus Supplement”) relating to the Notes and the plan of distribution thereof and has previously advised you of all other information (financial, statistical and other), if any, with respect to the Republic to be set forth therein. Such registration statement (including the Base Prospectus), as amended as of the Execution Time, including the exhibits thereto and all documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus contained therein, if any, at the date and time it became effective (the “Effective Time”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The Base Prospectus together with the Prospectus Supplement in the form in which it shall be first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the Execution Time is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Prospectus.”

(iii) At the Effective Time, the Registration Statement and any amendment thereof did, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will, comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, including the Release and Schedule B. The (i) Registration Statement, as amended at the Effective Time and at the Execution Time, on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, did not

contain or will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit or will not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) Final Prospectus, on the date it is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b), on the date of any amendment or supplement thereto and on the Closing Date, will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Republic makes no representations or warranties with respect to any statements or omissions contained herein, in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with the information furnished in writing to the Republic by the Underwriters, expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus.

(iv) The Disclosure Package (as defined herein), at the date and time of the first sale of the Notes to the public ([ ] [a.m./p.m.] New York City Time on the date of this Agreement, the “Initial Sale Time”), when taken as a whole, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Republic by any Underwriter specifically for use therein. The (i) Base Prospectus, as amended and supplemented as of the Execution Time, (ii) Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, (iii) issuer free writing prospectuses as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (each an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), if any, identified in Schedule III hereto, and (iv) any other free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (each a “Free Writing Prospectus”) that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of this Disclosure Package, are hereinafter referred to as the “Disclosure Package.”

(b) Powers and Authority. The Republic has full power and authority to execute and deliver each of this Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Republic hereunder and thereunder (including the Authentication Order and Authorization contemplated thereunder), to incur the obligations to be incurred by it as provided herein or therein, and to perform and observe the provisions hereof and thereof on its part to be performed or observed and to issue and sell the Notes and to perform the terms thereof.

(e) Validity of Notes. The Notes have been duly executed and, when duly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and delivered and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Republic entitled to the benefits of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

(f) Consents. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court, government or governmental agency or body or any third party is required to be taken, fulfilled, performed or obtained in the Republic or elsewhere (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent, approval or license or the making of any filing or registration) for the execution and delivery of the Agreements by the Republic, or for the issue, sale, delivery and performance of the Notes as contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the compliance by the Republic with the terms of the Agreements, as the case may be, or for the validity or enforceability of the Agreements and the Notes against the Republic, except for the authorizations contained in Article [ ] of Law [ ], published in the Official Gazette on [ ], [ ] (the “Budget Law”), and in the Supreme Decree No. [ ], issued on [ ], [ ] and published in the Official Gazette on [ ], [ ], of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic (the “Supreme Decree”), which have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect on the date hereof and will be in full force and effect on the Closing Date.

(g) Compliance. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the Notes (and compliance with the terms hereof and thereof) do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of any constitutional provision, any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation, decree, judgment, order of any government, governmental body or court, domestic or foreign court order or similar authority binding upon the Republic, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any fiscal agency agreement, trust deed, mortgage or other agreement to which the Republic or any National Governmental Agency is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties or assets are bound or (iii) result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon such properties or assets, except, in each case, for those violations and defaults which individually and, in the aggregate, are not material to the Republic when taken as a whole. As used herein, the term “National Governmental Agency” means any ministry, department, agency, or autonomous regulatory authority of the Republic.

(h) Event of Default. No event has occurred and is continuing or circumstance arisen which, had the Notes already been issued, would (with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time) constitute an Event of Default under the Notes.

(i) Litigation. Other than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Republic after due inquiry, threatened actions or proceedings (foreign or domestic) against or affecting the Republic or any National Governmental Agency which, if determined adversely to the Republic or any such National Governmental Agency, would individually or in the aggregate have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition or revenues and expenditures of the Republic or would materially adversely affect the ability of the Republic to perform its obligations under the Agreements, or which are otherwise material in the context of the issue of the Notes.

(j) Taxes and Filing of Documents. There is no tax, duty, levy, impost, deduction, governmental charge or withholding imposed by the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Agreements (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings) or to ensure the legality, enforceability, validity or admissibility into evidence of the Agreements or of any other document to be furnished thereunder and neither is it necessary that the Agreements be submitted to, filed or recorded with any court or other authority in the Republic to ensure such legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings, if any, and an official translation into Spanish of the Agreements and/or the Notes performed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores).

(k) Republic’s Obligations. When duly issued and authenticated and paid for by the Underwriters, the Notes will be the direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Republic; the full faith and credit of the Republic will have been pledged for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, interest on, and any additional amount required to be paid with respect to, the Notes and the performance of the covenants therein contained; when issued, the Notes will rank pari passu in priority of payment, in right of security and in all other respects with all other External Indebtedness (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes) with respect to the Republic now or hereafter outstanding (except to the extent any such other External Indebtedness ranks above such obligations by mandatory provisions of applicable law).

(l) Private, Commercial Action. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the other documents referred to therein, and the issuance and sale of the Notes and the performance of the terms thereof by the Republic, constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts. Under the laws of the Republic, except as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, neither the Republic nor any of its property has any immunity (i) from jurisdiction of any court, (ii) from set-off or any legal process in the courts of the Republic other than attachment prior to judgment and attachment in aid of execution or (iii) from set-off or any legal process in any court other than a court of the Republic (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise); provided, however,

that no attachment (prior to judgment or in aid of execution or otherwise) is possible with respect to properties of the Republic located in Chile; and, provided, further, that with respect to the movable and immovable property of the Republic which is destined for diplomatic and consular missions and to the residence of the head of these missions or to military purposes, including any property which is property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency, or the rights and property of the Central Bank abroad, the waiver of immunity by the Republic is not permitted under the laws of the Republic. The waiver of immunity by the Republic contained in Section 18 hereof, Section 9.7 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Paragraph 15 of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes thereof and the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in Section 10 hereof do not conflict with Chilean law or public policy.

(m) IMF. The Republic is a member of, and is eligible to use the general resources of, the International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”).

(n) Enforcement of Agreements. Each of this Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes is in proper form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement thereof in the courts of Chile, and in the legal action of such courts, such courts (i) would recognize and give effect to the respective provisions of this Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes that such documents be governed by the laws of the State of New York and (ii) would accordingly apply New York law. However, for its enforceability and admissibility in evidence in the Republic, each such document would need to be translated into Spanish by an official translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

(o) Licenses, Consents and Residence. It is not necessary under the laws of the Republic that the Underwriters be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in the Republic by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Agreements and the Underwriters will not be deemed resident, domiciled, to be carrying on business or subject to taxation in the Republic solely by reason of the execution, delivery, performance outside the Republic or enforcement of the Agreements.

(p) Ratings. There has been no public announcement by DBRS Limited (“DBRS”), Fitch Ratings Limited (“Fitch Ratings”), ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“Standard & Poor’s”) that the ratings accorded to the Republic’s debt securities in effect on the date hereof are under, or will be under, surveillance or review; and the Republic has not been informed by either DBRS, Fitch Ratings, Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s that any of them intends or is contemplating any downgrading in any rating accorded to the Republic’s debt securities.

6. Covenants of the Republic

The Republic agrees with each of the Underwriters as follows:

(a) Representations and Warranties. The Republic will notify the Underwriters promptly if at any time prior to payment of the Purchase Price to the Republic and fulfillment of all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 8 anything occurs which renders or may render untrue or incorrect in any material respect any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 and will forthwith take such steps as the Underwriters may reasonably require to remedy and/or publicize the fact.

The Republic will also send to the Underwriters as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement and thereafter from time to time as many copies of the Final Prospectus as any of the Underwriters or dealers may reasonably request for the purposes required by the Securities Act.

(c) Filing of Final Term Sheet. The Republic agrees to prepare a final term sheet in the form set forth in Schedule III hereto (the “Final Term Sheet”), containing solely a description of the Notes, in a form approved by the Underwriters, and to file such Final Term Sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act within the time required by such rule. Any such Final Term Sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Delivery of Amendments and Supplements. During such period (not exceeding 120 days) after the commencement of the offering of the Notes as the Underwriters or any dealer may be required by law to deliver a prospectus (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act), if any event relating to or affecting the Republic, or of which the Republic, shall be advised in writing by the Underwriters, shall occur, should be set forth in a supplement to or an amendment of the Final Prospectus in order to make the statements set forth in the Final Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend the Final Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Republic will forthwith at its expense prepare and furnish to the Underwriters and the dealers named by any of the Underwriters a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or supplements or an amendment or amendments to the Final Prospectus which will supplement or amend the Final Prospectus so that as supplemented or amended it will comply with the Securities Act and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In case any Underwriter or dealer is required to deliver a prospectus after the expiration of 120 days after the commencement of the offering of the Notes, the Republic, upon the request of such Underwriter or dealer, will furnish to such Underwriter or dealer, a reasonable quantity of a supplemented or amended Final Prospectus, or supplements or amendments to the Final Prospectus, complying with Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.

(e) The Republic will use its best efforts promptly to do and perform all things to be done and performed by it hereunder prior to the Closing Date and to satisfy all conditions precedent to the delivery by it of the Notes.

(f) The Republic will advise the Underwriters promptly of the filing of the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) or otherwise and of any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Disclosure Package or of official notice of institution of proceeding for, or the entry of, a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, if such a stop order should be entered, use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal thereof.

(g) The Republic will take such actions as the Underwriters may reasonably request to qualify the Notes for offer and sale under the Blue Sky or legal investment laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and under the legal investment laws of such jurisdictions outside the United States as the Underwriters may reasonably designate, and will file and make in each year such statements or reports as are or may be reasonably required by the laws of such jurisdictions inside or outside the United States and to maintain such qualifications for a period of at least one year from the Effective Time of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Republic shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer in securities under the laws of any jurisdiction other than as set forth in this Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(h) Additional Amounts. The Republic will make all payments of the principal of and interest on the Notes without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Republic or any of its political subdivisions, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. In those circumstances where Chilean law requires the Republic to deduct or withhold taxes, the Republic will pay the bondholders such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that they receive the same amount as they would have received without such withholding or deductions. These circumstances will include, but are not limited to, the 4% withholding tax currently applicable to payments of interest to bondholders that are not residents of the Republic.

(i) The Republic will not, however, have any obligation to pay additional amounts in connection with any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed except for the fact that:

(A) the bondholder has some connection with the Republic other than merely owning the Note or receiving income or payments on the Notes; or

(B) the bondholder has failed to present its Note within 30 days of when the Republic makes available to the bondholder a payment of principal or interest, unless the bondholder would have been entitled to such payment if such bondholder had presented its Note within such 30 day period.

(ii) The Republic will pay any administrative, excise or property taxes which arise in the Republic under Chilean law and are related to the Notes. The Republic will also indemnify the bondholders against any administrative, excise or property taxes resulting from the enforcement of the obligations of the Republic under the Notes following the occurrence of any Event of Default.

(i) From the date hereof through the period ending 30 days after the Closing Date, the Republic will ensure that no other dollar-denominated or Chilean peso-denominated debt securities of the Republic (other than debt securities with a maturity of one year or less) are placed or sold in the international capital markets, directly or indirectly on its behalf, in any manner which might, in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriters, have a detrimental effect on the successful offering and distribution of the Notes, unless the Underwriters otherwise agree in writing.

7. Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses

(a) The Republic agrees that unless it obtains the prior consent of the Underwriters, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it has not made and will not make any offers relating to the Notes that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) required to be filed by the Republic with the Commission or retained by the Republic under Rule 433 under the Securities Act; provided that the prior consent of the Underwriters shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in Schedule III hereto.

(b) In connection with this offering, each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents and covenants with the Republic that, unless such Underwriter has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior consent of the Republic, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, such Underwriter has not and will not use any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses or any free writing prospectus required to be filed by the Republic with the Commission or retained by the Republic under Rule 433 under the Securities Act; provided, that the prior consent of the Republic shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in Schedule III hereto.

The Republic agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each of its affiliates, and individually each of its respective directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions, demands, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which any of them may incur, as incurred, or which may be made against any of them, insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions, demands, damages or expenses (i) arise out of or are based upon by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Disclosure Package, in the Final Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case including, but not limited to, the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission and all expenses whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Underwriters), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, and the Republic agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Republic will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Republic by or on behalf of any of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished by the Underwriters consists of the table and the [ ] paragraphs set forth under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus Supplement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Republic may otherwise have.

(b) Underwriter’s Indemnity. Each of the Underwriters severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Republic and each of its officials who signs the Registration Statement, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (as incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions, demands, damages or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, in the Disclosure Package, in the Final Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the reliance upon or in conformity with written information furnished to the Republic through the Underwriters specifically for use in the Registration Statement, it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished by the Underwriters consists of the table and the [ ] paragraphs set forth under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus Supplement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Underwriters may otherwise have.

(c) Notification. (i) If any action, proceeding (including any governmental investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 10; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10. The indemnifying party, upon request of such indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to represent such indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In such proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to retain counsel of its own choice to represent it in connection with such action, claim or demand, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (x) the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (y) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (z) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying parties or party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. With respect to any indemnification claim under Section 10(a), any such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters.

(ii) The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld),

but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The indemnifying party shall not, without the written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 10(a) or 10(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Republic on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Republic on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Republic on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering of the Notes shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by or on behalf of the Republic, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions set forth in Section 9(c) received by the Underwriters with respect to the Notes purchased under this Agreement, on the other, bear to the total gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes under this Agreement, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to the Republic or information supplied by the Republic on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Republic and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 10(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total management and underwriting commission and selling concession set forth in

Section 9(c) received by such Underwriter with respect to the Notes purchased by it under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 10(d), each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each official of the Republic who signs the Registration Statement shall have the same rights to contribution as the Republic. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 10(d) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

11. Default of Underwriters

If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Notes agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Notes which the defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Notes, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Republic. In the event of any such default that does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Underwriters or the Republic shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter pursuant to this Section 11.

12. Underwriters Not Fiduciaries

(a) The Republic acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Republic, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other;

(ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction the Underwriters are acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Republic;

(iii) the Underwriters have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Republic with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading

thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriters have advised or are currently advising the Republic on other matters) or any other obligation to the Republic except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; and

(iv) the Republic has consulted its own advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Republic agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Republic, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

13. Expenses

The Underwriters shall pay (x) an amount up to U.S. $[ ] in respect of costs and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and sale of the Note, including but not limited to: (a) the costs of printing the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Disclosure Package, (b) the costs of distributing the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Disclosure Package, (c) the initial, up-front fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent, the Calculation Agent and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel for such parties), (d) all expenses and fees incurred in connection with the clearance of the Notes for book-entry transfer through DTC, the Euroclear System and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, (e) the fees and expenses incurred in listing the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, (f) the fee payable to the Commission in connection with the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the Commission, (g) the fees and expenses of Chilean and United States counsel to the Republic in connection with the issuance of the Notes, (h) any fees and expenses of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or the fees and expenses of qualifying the Notes under any applicable securities laws of the several jurisdictions as provided for in Section 6(f) and preparing, printing and distributing a Blue Sky memorandum (including related fees and expenses of counsel), and (i) all roadshow expenses and (y) the following: (a) the fees and expenses of Chilean and United States counsel to the Underwriters in connection with the issuance of the Notes and (b) any out-of-pocket expenses of the Underwriters not included in clauses (x)(a) through (j) above; the Republic agrees to pay, or reimburse the Underwriters for, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all those set forth in clauses (x)(a) through (j) above, but excluding all those set forth in clause (y) above) incurred in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes in excess of U.S. $[ ]; provided, however, that, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14 hereof, the Republic agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation for the issuance and sale of the Notes and to pay, or reimburse the Underwriters for, all of their reasonable and documented costs and expenses related to the transaction, including without limitation, the fees and expenses of Chilean and United States counsel. Notwithstanding the above, the Republic agrees to pay its own out of pocket expenses.

14. Termination

(a) The Underwriters’ Ability to Terminate. Despite anything contained in this Agreement, the Underwriters may, by notice to the Republic given at any time prior to

payment of the Purchase Price for the Notes to the Republic (but, in the case of Section 14(a)(iii), only after consultation with the Republic if the Underwriters believe such consultation to be practicable), terminate this Agreement in any of the following circumstances:

(i) if there shall have come to the notice of the Underwriters any breach of, or any event rendering untrue or incorrect in any material respect, any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or any failure to perform in any material respect any of the Republic’s undertakings or agreements in this Agreement; or

(ii) if any condition specified in Section 8 has not been satisfied or waived by the Underwriters and cannot be satisfied on or before the Closing Date; or

(iii) if there shall have been any change in Chilean, United States, or international financial, political or economic conditions as would, in the judgment of the Underwriters, make it impracticable to proceed with the public offering and distribution of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package and in the Final Prospectus; or

(iv) if a banking moratorium shall have been declared by the United States Federal or New York state authorities or authorities of the Republic; or

(v) if trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on any of such exchanges or such market by the Commission or by any other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction; or

(vi) if there shall have been any outbreak of or escalation in hostilities involving the Republic or the United States, the effect of which on the financial markets of the Republic or the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable to market the Notes.

(b) Consequences of Termination. Upon such notice being given, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further effect and no party hereto shall be under any liability to any other in respect of this Agreement, except for the liability of the parties in relation to expenses as provided in Section 13, any liability arising before or in relation to such termination and the respective obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 15 which would have continued had the arrangements for the payment and issue of the Notes been completed.

15. Survival of Representations and Obligations

The indemnity agreement set forth in Section 10 and the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect despite completion of the arrangements for the sale and issuance of the Notes or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or the Republic.

16. Notices

Any such communication shall take effect, in the case of a letter, at the time of delivery, or in the case of telex or facsimile transmission, at the time of dispatch.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

(b) Jurisdiction. The Republic hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in New York City, and any appellate court, in any action or proceeding commenced by any bondholder, the Fiscal Agent or any Underwriter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, and the Republic hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. The Republic hereby irrevocably agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Republic and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may be enforced in the competent courts of any other jurisdiction, including the Republic, subject to the fulfillment of the requirements for the enforcement of foreign judgments of Chilean law. The Republic hereby irrevocably appoints the person acting as or discharging the function of the Consul General of Chile in the city of New York (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the date hereof at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as its agent to receive on behalf of itself and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Republic, as the case may be, in care of the Process Agent at the address specified above for the Process Agent and the Republic hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, the Republic also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding in such New York state or federal court sitting in New York City by the mailing of copies of such process to itself at its address specified in Section 16 hereof. The prior two sentences notwithstanding, service of process by means of mail may not serve as valid notice under Chilean law for a complaint or judicial action commenced against the Republic.

(c) Nothing in this Section 17 shall affect the right of any Underwriter to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any Underwriter to bring any action or proceeding against the Republic or their respective property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

18. Waiver of Sovereign Immunity

(a) To the extent that the Republic has or hereafter may acquire or have attributed to it any immunity under any law (other than the laws of the Republic) from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through sovereign immunity, service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Republic hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, except for actions arising out of or based on the U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws; provided, however, that the above exception shall not in any way limit the ability of the Underwriters to exercise the rights to indemnification and contribution from the Republic set forth in Section 10 hereof. To the extent that the Republic has or hereafter may have any immunity under the laws of the Republic (i) from jurisdiction of any court, (ii) from any legal process in the courts of the Republic, or (iii) from any legal process in any court other than a court of the Republic, whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise, with respect to itself or its property, the Republic hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the Republic, in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus except for actions arising out of or based on the U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws; provided, however, that the above exception shall not in any way limit the ability of the Underwriters to exercise the rights to indemnification and contribution from the Republic set forth in Section 10 hereof. In addition, the Republic irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any suit, action or proceeding, that may be brought in connection with this Agreement, the Notes, the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Final Prospectus, including such actions, suits or proceedings relating to securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the grounds that any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. However, the Republic will not waive immunity from attachment prior to judgment and attachment in aid of execution under Chilean law with respect to property of the Republic located in Chile and with respect to its movable and immovable property which is destined to diplomatic and consular missions and to the residence of the head of such missions or to military purposes, including such property which is property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency, since such waiver is not permitted under the laws of Chile. The Republic reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 with respect to any action brought against it under U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Republic agrees that the waivers set forth in this subsection (a) shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

(b) The Republic hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any requirement or other provision of law, rule, regulation or practice which requires or otherwise establishes as a condition to the institution, prosecution or completion of any action or proceeding (including appeals) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, the posting of any bond or the furnishing, directly or indirectly, of any other security.

19. Judgment and Payment Currency

The obligation of the Republic to the Underwriters under this Agreement will be discharged only to the extent that the Underwriters may purchase U.S. dollars with the payment or judgment currency, as the case may be. If the Underwriters cannot purchase U.S. dollars in the amount originally to be paid, the Republic agrees to pay the difference. The Underwriters, however, agree that, if the amount of the U.S. dollars purchased exceeds the amount originally to be paid to the Underwriters, the Underwriters will reimburse the excess to the Republic. The Underwriters, however, will not be obligated to make this reimbursement if the Republic is currently in default of its obligations under the Notes.

20. Severability

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

21. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

22. Successors

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and the controlling persons referred to in Section 10 hereof and their respective administrators and successors, and no other person shall have any right or obligation hereunder. No purchaser of any of the Notes from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Republic a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument will become a binding agreement among the Republic and the Underwriters.


Very truly yours,

FORM OF OPINION

[ ]

SPECIAL CHILEAN COUNSEL TO THE REPUBLIC

[ ], [ ]

[ ]

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON

as Fiscal Agent pursuant to the

Fiscal Agency Agreement referred to below

Re.: República de Chile

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(i) of the Underwriting Agreement dated [ ], [ ] (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among República de Chile (the “Republic”) and [ ] (“[ ]”), relating to the issuance and sale by the Republic of [ ] aggregate principal amount of its [Title of Notes] (the “Notes”), which Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Fiscal Agency Agreement (as amended, the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) dated as of [ ], 2010 among the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Fiscal Agent (in such capacity, the “Fiscal Agent”). The Notes, the Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) are more fully described in the Registration Statement (as defined below) and the Final Prospectus (as defined below) prepared by the Republic in connection with the issuance of the Notes. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

We have acted as special Chilean counsel to the Republic in connection with the Agreements and issuance of the Notes. In connection with this opinion we have examined:

1. an executed copy of each Agreement and the forms of the Notes;

A-1-2

As used herein, “Disclosure Package” means the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, and the issuer free writing prospectuses identified on Schedule III to the Underwriting Agreement, if any.

We have assumed for purposes of this opinion: (i) that the Agreements and all other documents to be executed and delivered thereunder have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Underwriters and the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, and that each such party has adequate power, authority and legal right to enter into each Agreement to which it is a party; (ii) the authenticity of all documents examined by us (and the completeness of and conformity to the originals of any copies thereof submitted to us) and the genuineness of all signatures; (iii) that the Underwriting Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 14 thereof; (iv) that the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements and the other documents and instruments provided for by the Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not contravene or breach, or result in a default under, or require any consent of any person under, any agreement or other document or instrument to which any of the parties to any thereof (other than the Republic) is a party or by which it is bound; and (v) that any documents referred to in our opinion and executed by the Republic, which are stated to be governed by and construed in accordance with New York law, based on the opinions contained herein, will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered pursuant to New York law.

Also, in rendering this opinion we have relied, without independent investigation, (i) to the extent this opinion involves any matter of United States Federal and New York law, upon the opinion of [ ], special U.S. counsel to the Republic, dated as of even date herewith, rendered pursuant to Section 8(e)(ii) of the Underwriting Agreement, and (ii) as to matters of fact, to the extent we have deemed proper, on certificates of officers of the Republic and certificates or other written statements of Chilean officials having custody of relevant documents.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

(a)

The Republic has full power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder, to incur in the obligations to be incurred by it as provided therein and to perform and observe the provisions thereof on its part to be performed or observed and to issue and sell the Notes and to perform the terms thereof.

(b)

The issuance and sale of the Notes and the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes by the Republic and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly and validly authorized by the Republic.

(c)	Each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Republic and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with the terms thereof.

A-1-3

(d)

The Notes, when duly (A) executed by (i) the representative of the Republic designated in accordance with the Supreme Decree and (ii) the Treasurer General of the Republic (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ General de la República) (or his/her representative designated in accordance with the Supreme Decree), (B) authenticated (“refrendados”) by the Comptroller General of the Republic (Contralor General de la República) (or his/her representative designated in accordance with the Supreme Decree) and, based on our understanding that the Fiscal Agency Agreement (which is governed by New York law) so requires, authenticated by the Fiscal Agent in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and (C) delivered and paid for in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with the terms thereof and entitled to the benefits of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

(e)

No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court, government or governmental agency or body or any third party is required to be taken, fulfilled, performed or obtained in the Republic (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent, approval or license or the making of any filing or registration) for the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Republic, or for the issue, sale, delivery and performance of the Notes as contemplated therein and in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and compliance by the Republic with the terms of the Agreements, as the case may be, or for the legality, enforceability, validity or admissibility into evidence of the Agreements (including the Notes) against the Republic, except for the authorizations contained in Article [ ] of the Budget Act and in the Supreme Decree all of which have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect on the date hereof.

(f)

The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Republic, the issuance, sale, delivery and performance of the Notes as contemplated therein, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and compliance by the Republic with the terms of the Agreements, as the case may be, do not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the Constitution, the Government Financial Administration Act, the Sovereign Immunity Act, the Budget Act, the Supreme Decree or any other constitutional provision, any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation, decree, judgment, order of any government, governmental body or court , domestic of foreign court order or similar authority binding upon the Republic, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any fiscal agency agreement, trust deed, mortgage or other agreement to which the Republic or any National Governmental Agency is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties or assets are bound or (iii) result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon such properties or assets.

(g)

To the best of our knowledge after due inquiry, other than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, there are no pending or, threatened, actions or proceedings (foreign or domestic) against or affecting the Republic or any National Governmental Agency which, if determined adversely to the Republic or any such National Governmental Agency, would reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to have a materially adverse effect on the financial

A-1-4

condition or revenues and expenditures of the Republic or would materially adversely affect the ability of the Republic to perform its obligations under the Agreements, or which are otherwise material in the context of the issuance of the Notes.

(h)

There is no tax, duty, levy, impost, deduction, governmental charge or withholding imposed by the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Agreements (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings) or to ensure the legality, enforceability, validity or admissibility into evidence of the Agreements or of any other document to be furnished thereunder and neither is it necessary that the Agreements be submitted to, filed or recorded with any court or other authority in the Republic to ensure such legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence (except for an official translation into Spanish of the Agreements and/or the Notes performed by a translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores), which is required in order to bring an action thereon in the courts of Chile).

(i)

When duly issued, executed and authenticated as described in (d) above, the Notes will be the direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Republic, the full faith and credit of the Republic will have been pledged for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, interest on, and any Additional Amounts or other amounts required to be paid with respect to, the Notes, and the performance of the obligations therein contained; when issued, the Notes will rank pari passu in priority of payment, in right of security and in all other respects with all other External Indebtedness (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes) with respect to the Republic now or hereafter outstanding (except to the extent any such other External Indebtedness ranks above such obligations solely by reason of Liens (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes).

(j)

The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the other documents referred to therein, and the issuance and sale of the Notes and the performance of the terms thereof by the Republic, constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts. As described in the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, the Republic has validly waived with respect to itself and its property any immunity it may now or in the future enjoy, including immunity (i) from jurisdiction of any court, (ii) from set-off any legal process in the courts of the Republic other than attachment prior to judgment and attachment in aid of execution or (iii) from set-off or any legal process in any court other than a court of the Republic (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise); provided, however, that no attachment is possible with respect to properties of the Republic located in Chile, and provided, further, that with respect to the movable and immovable property of the Republic used for diplomatic and consular missions, including the residence of the head of such missions, or for military purposes (including any property of military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency), the waiver of immunity by the Republic is prohibited by the laws of the Republic. The waiver of immunity and waiver of objection to laying of venue and defense of inconvenient forum by the Republic contained in Section 16 of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(d) of the

A-1-5

Fiscal Agency Agreement and paragraph 15(d) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, the appointment by the Republic of process agent in Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(b) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and paragraph 15(b) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, the consent by the Republic to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in such sections and paragraph and the provisions in such sections and paragraph that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes, are irrevocably binding on the Republic.

(k)

Each of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Registered Global Notes is (and, upon execution, delivery and authentication in accordance with paragraph (d) above, a Definitive Registered Note will be) in proper form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement thereof in the courts of Chile, and in the legal action of such courts, such courts (i) would recognize and give effect to the respective provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes that such documents be governed by the laws of the State of New York and (ii) would accordingly apply New York law. However, for its enforceability and admissibility in evidence in the Republic, each such document would need to be translated into Spanish by an official translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores).

(l)

A final, valid and conclusive judgment for the payment of a fixed or readily calculable sum of money against the Republic rendered by any New York State or federal court sitting in the City of New York having jurisdiction under its laws, in an action arising out of or relating to the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes, as the case may be, would be recognized and enforced against the Republic in the courts of Chile without re-examination or review of the merits of the cause of action in respect of which the original judgment was given nor re-litigation of the matters adjudicated upon nor payment of any stamp, registration or similar tax or duty except for court and consular fees and other charges incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings and legalization of exequatur or rogatory documents; provided that the following conditions are met (the existence or non-existence of which would be determined by the Supreme Court of Chile):

if there exists a treaty as to the enforcement of judgments between Chile and the United States, such treaty will be applied. As at the date hereof no such treaty currently exists between Chile and the United States;

if there is no treaty, the judgment will be enforced if there is reciprocity as to the enforcement of judgments (i.e., a United States court would enforce a comparable judgment of a Chilean court under comparable circumstances);

if it can be proved that there is no reciprocity the judgment cannot be enforced in Chile;

if reciprocity cannot be proved, the judgment will be enforced if it has not been rendered by default within the meaning of Chilean law, that is if valid

A-1-6

service of process was made upon the parties to the action unless the defendant was able to prove that due to other reasons it was prevented from assuming its defense. However, under Chilean law, service of process by means of mailing copies to the Republic will not be deemed effective to cause proper service of process and, consequently, any judgment rendered in a legal proceeding in which process was served by means of mailing copies may be then effectively contested by the Republic in Chile; and

in any event, the judgment shall not be contrary to the public policy of the Republic of Chile, and shall not affect in any way properties located in Chile, which are, as a matter of Chilean law, subject exclusively to the jurisdiction of Chilean courts. In this regard, other than as discussed in our qualification at the end of this opinion, we are not aware of any public policy that would affect the enforcement in Chile of a judgment in respect of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes.

Upon compliance with the above, the courts in the Republic will enforce a final and conclusive judgment rendered by a New York State or Federal court sitting in The City of New York having jurisdiction, under its laws, over the Republic, in an action arising out of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedure contemplated by the Chilean Code of Civil Procedure for the enforcement of foreign judgments. To enforce such judgment in Chile rendered in relation to the Agreements or the Notes against the Republic, the judgment must be presented to the Supreme Court of Chile, in duly legalized (by the Chilean Consul in New York) form and translated by an official translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic. Said Court will hear whatever presentation the Republic wishes to make, which hearing will be limited to aspects relating to such enforcement and not to substantive issues resolved in the judgment. The Supreme Court will also hear the Supreme Court Prosecutor (“Fiscal Judicial”) as to such limited aspects, and, with only this background, the Supreme Court will declare whether or not the judgment should be enforced. If the Supreme Court orders the Republic to perform any payment obligation, the facts must be made known to the President of the Republic so that he may issue a supreme decree ordering enforcement of such judgment within a 60 day period. The President of the Republic is prohibited by express mandate of the Constitution from exercising judicial functions as well as from reviewing the basis for and the contents of the court’s decision.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability in Chile of a foreign judgment against the Republic obtained in any court other than the New York State or Federal courts sitting in the City of New York.

(m)

It is not necessary under the laws of the Republic that the Underwriters be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in the Republic by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Agreements and the Underwriters will not be deemed resident, domiciled, to be carrying on business or subject to taxation in the Republic solely by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements or the enforcement thereof in Chile.

A-1-7

(n)

The Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, and their filing with the Commission have been duly and validly authorized by and on behalf of the Republic and the Registration Statement has been duly and validly executed and filed by the authorized officials of the Republic on behalf of the Republic.

(o)

All statements in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus with respect to or involving the Constitution, the Government Financial Administration Act, the Sovereign Immunity Act, the Budget Act and any other laws, statutes and regulations of or pertaining to the Republic or Chilean law are true and correct as of the date hereof and fairly present the information purported to be shown; and the information provided by the Republic in the Registration Statement , the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus with respect to itself has been provided by the Republic or any National Government Agency in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable thereto as in effect on the date hereof.

(p)

The statements in the Base Prospectus, under the captions “Taxation – Chilean Taxation” and “Description of the Securities,” and in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Notes,” insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the documents or matters referred to therein taken as a whole, fairly summarize the provisions of Chilean law therein described.

(q)

The laws of the Republic do not require any statute or regulation or legal or governmental proceeding or any contract or document of the Republic of any character, to be described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, other than such statutes, regulations, and proceedings that have been described therein.

(r)

When issued, the Notes and all payments thereon will be free and exempt from any and all taxes, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature of the Republic, except (as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus), for the withholding currently assessed on payments of interest to bondholders that are not residents of the Republic and except to the extent that such Notes or payments will be held or received by persons who are subject to tax for reasons other than the mere holding of such Notes or receiving payments thereon.

(s)	The Underwriters are not subject to any taxes, duties or other governmental charges imposed by the Republic or by any political subdivisions or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to any payments received by the Underwriters on account of commissions and reimbursement of expenses.

This opinion is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

In connection with our opinion at paragraphs (c), (f) and (l)5 above referring to the validity, binding nature and enforceability in Chile and potential conflict with Chilean law or public policy of the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in Section 10 of the Underwriting Agreement, we wish to express that a Chilean court would not find such provisions to be violative of principles of Chilean public policy unless their actual application in a particular

A-1-8

case to determine the amount of an indemnification or contribution due by an indemnifying party would, in the judgment of the court, result in a recovery by the indemnified party so arbitrary and unreasonable as to be considered contrary to basic and fundamental principles of the Chilean legal system.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to questions arising under the laws of the Republic. Furthermore, this opinion letter is furnished to you in your capacity as Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement or as Fiscal Agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and is solely for your benefit as such. This opinion letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose without, in each instance, our prior written consent.

This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. Accordingly, any person relying on this opinion letter at any time after the date of this opinion letter should seek advice of its counsel as to the proper application of this opinion letter at such time.

Very truly yours,

as Fiscal Agent pursuant to the

Fiscal Agency Agreement referred to below

Re: República de Chile

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(i) of the Underwriting Agreement dated [ ], [ ] (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among República de Chile (the “Republic”) and [ ] (“[ ]”), relating to the issuance and sale by the Republic of [ ] aggregate principal amount of its [Title of Notes] (the “Notes”), which Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Fiscal Agency Agreement (as amended, the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) dated as of [ ], 2010 among the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Fiscal Agent (in such capacity, the “Fiscal Agent”). The Notes, the Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) are more fully described in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus prepared by the Republic in connection with the issuance of the Notes. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial accounting or statistical information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus are of a wholly or partially non-legal character or relate to legal matters outside the scope of our opinion letter to you of even date herewith, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (except to the extent expressly set forth in letter (p) of our opinion letter to you of even date herewith) and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements (except as aforesaid). Without limiting the foregoing, we assume no responsibility for, and have not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness

A-2-1

of the financial, accounting and statistical data included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, and we have not examined the financial, accounting or statistical records from which such data or information is derived. We note that certain portions of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus have been included therein on the authority of officials of the Republic, and that we are not experts within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any portion of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, including, without limitation, the financial, accounting or statistical data included therein.

However, in the course of our acting as special Chilean counsel to the Republic in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, we participated in conferences and telephone conversations with officials of the Republic, your representatives, and representatives of your New York and Chilean counsel, during which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus and related matters were discussed, and we reviewed certain other documents furnished to us by the Republic.

Based on our participation in such conferences and conversations, our review of such documents as described above according to our limited and non-expert understanding of the United States of America federal securities laws and limited experience we have gained in our practice thereunder, we advise you that:

(a)

No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Registration Statement (except the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no view), at the date and time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(b)

No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Disclosure Package (except the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no view), as of the Initial Sale Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c)

No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Final Prospectus (except the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no view), as of the date thereof or hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to questions arising under the laws of the Republic. We provide this opinion letter to you in our capacity as special Chilean counsel to the Republic. Furthermore, this opinion letter is furnished to you in your capacity as Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement or as Fiscal Agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and is solely for your benefit as such.

FORM OF OPINION

[ ]

SPECIAL NEW YORK COUNSEL TO THE REPUBLIC

[Subject to internal review]

[ ]

[ ], [ ]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to the Republic of Chile (“Chile”) in connection with Chile’s offering pursuant to a registration statement (No. 333-[ ]) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of [ ] aggregate principal amount of Chile’s [Title of Notes] (the “Notes”), to be issued pursuant to the third amended and restated fiscal agency agreement, dated as of [ ], 2010 (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between Chile and The Bank of New York Mellon, as fiscal agent (the “Fiscal Agent”). Such registration statement, as amended as of its most recent effective date, [ ], [ ], is herein called the “Registration Statement; the related prospectus dated [ ], [ ] included in the Registration Statement is herein called the “Base Prospectus;” the related preliminary prospectus supplement dated [ ], [ ], as first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement;” and the related prospectus supplement dated [ ], [ ], as first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Final Prospectus Supplement.” The Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Pricing Prospectus” and the Base Prospectus and the Final Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Final Prospectus.” This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(ii) of the underwriting agreement dated [ ], [ ] (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between Chile and the underwriters named above (the “Underwriters”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied on the following documents:

(a) an executed copy of the Underwriting Agreement;

B-1-1

(b) the Registration Statement and the documents incorporated by reference therein;

(c) the Pricing Prospectus the documents incorporated by reference therein and the documents listed in Schedule I hereto;

(d) the Final Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein;

(e) the executed Global Notes;

(f) an executed copy of the Fiscal Agency Agreement; and

(g) the documents delivered to you by Chile at the closing pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

In addition, we have reviewed the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such other documents and other certificates of public officials and representatives of Chile and such other persons, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified (i) that all agreements and documents we have examined have been duly authorized, executed and delivered pursuant to Chilean law, (ii) that each party has full power, authority and legal right to enter into such agreement or to issue such document, and to perform its obligations thereunder, (iii) that all signatures on all such agreements and documents are genuine, and (iv) the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Chile in the Underwriting Agreement).

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that:

1. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Chile under the law of New York.

2. The Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Chile under the law of New York and is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of Chile.

3. The Notes have been duly executed and delivered by Chile under the law of New York, and, assuming their due authentication in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and delivery and payment in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Chile, entitled to the benefits of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

4. The issuance and sale of the Notes pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement do not, and the performance by Chile of its obligations in the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes, will not require any consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority of the United States of America or the State of New York that in our experience would be applicable in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, except such as have been obtained or effected under the Securities Act (but we express no opinion relating to any state securities or Blue Sky laws).

B-1-2

5. Under the laws of the State of New York relating to submission to jurisdiction, Chile, pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(b) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Paragraph 15(b) of the terms and conditions of the Notes, has (i) validly and irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of any New York State or U.S. federal court located in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in any action or proceeding arising out of or based on the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes commenced by any Underwriter, the Fiscal Agent or any holder of the Notes, (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law validly and irrevocably waived any objection to the venue of any such action in any such court, and (iii) validly appointed its Consul General in The City of New York as its authorized agent for the purpose described in Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(b) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Paragraph 15(b) of the terms and conditions of the Notes; service of process effected in the manner set forth in Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(b) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Paragraph 15(b) of the terms and conditions of the Notes will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over Chile in any such action.

6. Assuming the validity of such action under the laws of Chile, the waiver by Chile, pursuant to Section 18(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(d) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Paragraph 15(d) of the terms and conditions of the Notes, respectively, of any immunity (including sovereign immunity, and immunity from pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) from suit, action, proceeding or jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or with respect to the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes, respectively, is legal, valid and binding under New York and U.S. federal law, subject as set forth below.

7. The statements set forth under the headings “Description of the Securities” in the Base Prospectus and “Description of the Notes” in the Final Prospectus Supplement, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Notes and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, provide a fair summary of such provisions.

8. The statements under the heading “Taxation—United States Federal Taxation” in the Final Prospectus Supplement, insofar as such statements purport to summarize federal laws of the United States of America referred to thereunder, constitute a fair summary of the principal U.S. Federal income tax consequences of a purchase of the Notes.

Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of Chile, (a) we have assumed that Chile and each other party to such agreement or obligation has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable against it (except that no such assumption is made as to Chile regarding matters of the federal law of the United States of America or the law of the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement), and (b) such opinions are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, to general principles of equity and to possible judicial action giving effect to foreign governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights.

We note that the designation in Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(b) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Paragraph 15(b) of the terms and conditions

of the Notes of the U.S. federal courts sitting in New York City as the venue for actions or proceedings relating to the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes is (notwithstanding the waiver in Section 18(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(d) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Paragraph 15(d) of the terms and conditions of the Notes) subject to the power of such courts to transfer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or proceedings on the grounds that such federal court is an inconvenient forum for such action or proceeding.

SPECIAL NEW YORK COUNSEL TO THE REPUBLIC

[Subject to internal review]

[ ], [ ]

[ ]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to the Republic of Chile (“Chile”) in connection with Chile’s offering pursuant to a registration statement (No. 333-[ ]) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of [ ] aggregate principal amount of Chile’s [Title of Notes] (the “Notes”), to be issued pursuant to the third amended and restated fiscal agency agreement, dated as of [ ], 2010 (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between Chile and The Bank of New York Mellon, as fiscal agent (the “Fiscal Agent”). Such registration statement, as amended as of its most recent effective date, [ ], [ ], is herein called the “Registration Statement; the related prospectus dated [ ], [ ] included in the Registration Statement is herein called the “Base Prospectus;” the related preliminary prospectus supplement dated [ ], [ ], as first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement;” and the related prospectus supplement dated [ ], [ ], as first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Final Prospectus Supplement.” The Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Pricing Prospectus” and the Base Prospectus and the Final Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Final Prospectus.” This letter is furnished to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(ii) of the underwriting agreement dated [ ], [ ] (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between Chile and the underwriters named above (the “Underwriters”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial, accounting or statistical information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, and the documents listed in Schedule I hereto are of a wholly or partially non-legal character or relate to legal matters outside the scope of our opinion letter to you of

B-2-1

even date herewith, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or the documents listed in Schedule I hereto (except to the extent expressly set forth in numbered paragraphs 7 and 8 of our opinion letter to you of even date herewith) and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements (except as aforesaid). We also are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for ascertaining whether or when any of the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the documents identified in Schedule I hereto was conveyed to any person for purposes of Rule 159 under the Securities Act. We note that certain portions of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus have been included therein on the authority of officials of Chile, and that we are not experts within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any portion of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, including, without limitation, the financial, accounting or statistical data included therein.

However, in the course of our acting as special New York counsel to Chile in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and the documents listed in Schedule I hereto, we participated in conferences and telephone conversations with officials of the Republic, your representatives and representatives of your New York and Chilean counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and the documents listed in Schedule I hereto and related matters were discussed, and we reviewed certain documents furnished to us by Chile.

Based on our participation in such conferences and conversations and our review of such documents as described above, our understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws and the experience we have gained in our practice thereunder, we advise you that:

(a) The Registration Statement (except the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no view), as of its most recent effective date, and the Final Prospectus (except as aforesaid), as of the date thereof, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(b) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Registration Statement (except the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no view), as of its most recent effective date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(c) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pricing Prospectus, considered together with the amount and the price to the public of the Notes set forth on the front cover of the Final Prospectus Supplement, the statements under the heading “Description of the Securities” in the Base Prospectus and “Description of the Notes” in the Final Prospectus Supplement and the documents listed in Schedule I hereto (except in each case the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no view), at [ ] [a.m./p.m.] New York City Time on [ ], [ ], contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

B-2-2

(d) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Final Prospectus (except the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no view), as of the date thereof or hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

We confirm to you that (a) based solely upon our review of the Notice of Effectiveness on the website of the Commission, the Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act, and (b) based solely upon a telephonic confirmation from a representative of the Commission, no stop order with respect thereto has been issued by the Commission, and, to the best of our knowledge, no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

We are furnishing this letter to you as the Underwriters, solely for your benefit in your capacity as Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Notes. This letter is not to be relied on by or furnished to any other person or used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose. We assume no obligation to advise you, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the views expressed herein.

SPECIAL CHILEAN COUNSEL TO THE UNDERWRITERS

[ ], [ ]

[ ]

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON

as Fiscal Agent pursuant to the

Fiscal Agency Agreement referred to below

República de Chile

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii) of the Underwriting Agreement dated [ ], [ ] (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among República de Chile (the “Republic”) and [ ] (“[ ]”) relating to the issuance and sale by the Republic of [ ] aggregate principal amount of its [Title of Notes] (the “Notes”), which Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Fiscal Agency Agreement (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) dated as of [ ], 2010 among the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Fiscal Agent (in such capacity, the “Fiscal Agent”). The Notes, the Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”), are more fully described in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus prepared by the Republic in connection with the issuance of the Notes. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

We have acted as special Chilean counsel to [ ] and the other Underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”) in connection with the Agreements and issuance of the Notes. In connection with this opinion we have examined:

an executed copy of each Agreement and the forms of the Notes;

the registration statement under Schedule B (No. 333-[ ]) filed by the Republic under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on [ ], [ ] (such registration statement, including the documents and information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B(f) under the Securities Act and the documents incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”);

C-1-1

the base prospectus, dated [ ], [ ], included as part of the Registration Statement (the base prospectus[, including the documents incorporated by reference therein,] being hereinafter referred to as the “Base Prospectus”);

the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated [ ], [ ], relating to the Notes (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”);

the final prospectus supplement, dated [ ], [ ], relating to the Notes ( the “Final Prospectus Supplement”) (the Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the Final Prospectus Supplement, in the form it was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act[, including the documents incorporated by reference therein,] being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Final Prospectus”);

the Authentication Order and Authorization delivered by the Republic as contemplated by the Fiscal Agency Agreement;

the Constitution of the Republic, as amended (the “Constitution”);

Decree Law 1,263 of November 21, 1975, as amended, providing for the rules of financial administration and governance of the Republic (the “Government Administration Law”);

Decree Law 2,349 of October 13, 1978, as amended, on sovereign immunity (the “Sovereign Immunity Law”);

10.

Article [ ] of Law No. [ ], published in the Official Gazette on [ ] (the “Budget Law”);

11.

Supreme Decree No. [ ] dated [ ], [ ] of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic and published in the Official Gazette on [ ] (the “Supreme Decree”); and

12.

such other documents, agreements and instruments and such treaties, laws, rules, decrees and the like as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

C-1-2

the originals of any copies thereof submitted to us) and the genuineness of all signatures; (iii) the truthfulness and accuracy of all oral representations made to us; (iv) that the Underwriting Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 14 thereof, (v) that the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements and the other documents and instruments provided for by the Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not contravene or breach, or result in a default under, or require any consent of any person under, any agreement or other document or instrument to which any of the parties to any thereof (other than the Republic) is a party or by which it is bound; and (vi) that any documents referred to in our opinion and executed by the Republic, which are stated to be governed by and construed in accordance with New York law, based on the opinions contained herein, will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered pursuant to New York law.

Also, in rendering this opinion we have relied, without independent investigation, (i) to the extent this opinion involves any matter of United States Federal and New York law, upon the opinion of [ ], of this date, rendered pursuant to Section 8(e)(iv) of the Underwriting Agreement, and (ii) as to matters of fact, to the extent we have deemed proper, on certificates of officers of the Republic and certificates or other written statements of Chilean officials having custody of relevant documents.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

(a) The Republic has full power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Agreements and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder, to incur the obligations to be incurred by it as provided therein and to perform and observe the provisions thereof on its part to be performed or observed and to issue and sell the Notes and to perform the terms thereof.

(b) The issuance and sale of the Notes and the execution and delivery of the Agreements by the Republic and all other documents to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly and validly authorized by the Republic.

(c) Each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Republic and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d) The Notes, when duly (A) executed by (i) the representative of the Republic designated in accordance with the Supreme Decree and (ii) the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ General de la República (or his/her representative designated in accordance with the Supreme Decree), (B) authenticated (“refrendados”) by the Contralor General de la República (or his/her representative designated in accordance with the Supreme Decree) and, based on our understanding that the Fiscal Agency Agreement (which is governed by New York law) so requires, authenticated by the Fiscal Agent in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and (C) delivered and paid for in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with the terms thereof entitled to the benefits of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

(e) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court, government or governmental agency or body or any third party is required to be taken,

C-1-3

fulfilled, performed or obtained in the Republic (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent, approval or license or the making of any filing or registration) for the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Republic, or for the issue, sale, delivery and performance of the Notes as contemplated therein and in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and compliance by the Republic with the terms of the Agreements, as the case may be, or for the legality, enforceability, validity or admissibility into evidence of the Agreements (including the Notes) against the Republic, except for the authorizations contained in Article 3 of the Budget Law and in the Supreme Decree all of which have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect on the date hereof.

(f) The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Republic, the issuance, sale, delivery and performance of the Notes as contemplated therein, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and compliance by the Republic with the terms of the Agreements, as the case may be, do not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the Constitution, the Government Administration Law, the Sovereign Immunity Law, the Budget Law, the Supreme Decree or any other constitutional provision, any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation, decree, judgment, order of any government, governmental body or court, domestic or foreign court order or similar authority binding upon the Republic, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any fiscal agency agreement, trust deed, mortgage or other agreement to which the Republic or any National Governmental Agency is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties or assets are bound or (iii) result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon such properties or assets.

(g) To the best of our knowledge after due inquiry, other than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus there are no pending, or threatened, actions or proceedings (foreign or domestic) against or affecting the Republic or any National Governmental Agency which, if determined adversely to the Republic or any such National Governmental Agency, would reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition or revenues and expenditures of the Republic or would materially adversely affect the ability of the Republic to perform its obligations under the Agreements, or which are otherwise material in the context of the issuance of the Notes.

(h) There is no tax, duty, levy, impost, deduction, governmental charge or withholding imposed by the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Agreements (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings) or to ensure the legality, enforceability, validity or admissibility into evidence of the Agreements or of any other document to be furnished thereunder, and neither is it necessary that the Agreements be submitted to, filed or recorded with any court or other authority in the Republic to ensure such legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence (except for an official translation into Spanish of the Agreements and/or the Notes performed by a translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores).

(i) When duly issued, executed and authenticated as described in (d) above, the Notes will be the direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Republic; the full faith and credit of the Republic will have been pledged for the due and punctual payment of the

C-1-4

principal of, interest on, and any Additional Amounts or other amounts required to be paid with respect to, the Notes and the performance of the obligations therein contained; when issued, the Notes will rank pari passu in priority of payment, in right of security and in all other respects with all other External Indebtedness (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes) with respect to the Republic now or hereafter outstanding (except to the extent any such other External Indebtedness ranks above such obligations solely by reason of Liens (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes).

(j) The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the other documents referred to therein, and the issuance and sale of the Notes and the performance of the terms thereof by the Republic, constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts. As described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the Republic has validly waived with respect to itself and its property any immunity it may now or in the future enjoy, including immunity (i) from jurisdiction of any court, (ii) from set-off or any legal process in the courts of the Republic other than attachment prior to judgment and attachment in aid of execution or (iii) from set-off or any legal process in any court other than a court of the Republic (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise); provided, however, that no attachment is possible with respect to properties of the Republic located in Chile; and, provided, further, that with respect to the movable and immovable property of the Republic used for diplomatic and consular missions, including the residence of the head of such missions, or for military purposes, (including any property of military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency), the waiver of immunity by the Republic is prohibited by the laws of the Republic. The waiver of immunity and waiver of objection to laying of venue and defense of inconvenient forum by the Republic contained in Section 18(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(d) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and paragraph 15(d) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, the appointment by the Republic of process agent in Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(b) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and paragraph 15(b) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, the consent by the Republic to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in such sections and paragraph and the provisions in such sections and paragraph that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes, are irrevocably binding on the Republic.

(k) Each of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Registered Global Notes is (and, upon execution, delivery and authentication in accordance with paragraph (d) above, a Definitive Registered Note will be in proper form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement thereof in the courts of Chile, and in the legal action of such courts, such courts (a) would recognize and give effect to the respective provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes that such documents be governed by the laws of the State of New York and (b) would accordingly apply New York law. However, for its enforceability and admissibility in evidence in the Republic, each such document would need to be translated into Spanish by an official translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores).

(l) A final, valid and conclusive judgment for the payment of a fixed or readily calculable sum of money against the Republic (a “Monetary Judgement”), rendered by any New York State or Federal court sitting in The City of New York having jurisdiction, under its laws,

C-1-5

over the Republic, in an action arising out of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes, as the case may be, would be recognized and enforced against the Republic by the courts of Chile, without re-examination or review of the merits of the cause of action in respect of which the original Monetary Judgment was given nor re-litigation of the matters adjudicated upon nor payment of any stamp, registration or similar tax or duty; provided that the following conditions are met (the existence or non-existence of which would be determined by the Supreme Court of Chile):

(i) if there exists a treaty as to the enforcement of judgments between Chile and the United States of America, such treaty will be applied. As at the date hereof no such treaty currently exists between Chile and the United States of America; or

(ii) if there is no treaty, the Monetary Judgment will be enforced if there is reciprocity as to the enforcement of judgments (i.e., a United States court would enforce a comparable judgment of a Chilean court under comparable circumstances);

(iii) if it can be proved that there is no reciprocity the Monetary Judgment cannot be enforced in Chile;

(iv) if reciprocity cannot be proved, the foreign judgment will be enforced; provided, that:

the judgment does not contain anything contrary to the laws of Chile (i.e. it shall not be contrary to the public policy of Chile). However, the procedural laws to which the proceedings of the case would have been subject to in Chile will not be taken into consideration. We are not aware of any public policy that would affect the enforcement in Chile of a Monetary Judgment in respect of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes;

the judgment shall not be contrary to Chilean jurisdiction (i.e., it shall not directly affect any property located in Chile by imposing injunctions, attachments, precautionary or similar measures over any such property or ordering the foreclosure of any such property, which are as a matter of Chilean law subject exclusively to the jurisdiction of Chilean courts); and

the party against whom enforcement of the judgment is sought was duly served process of the action or complaint. However, such party should be entitled to prove that, due to circumstances beyond its control, it was prevented from asserting its means of defence. The requirement that the defendant has been duly served process and that it has not been prevented from availing itself of means of defense are factual issues that must be established when obtaining

C-1-6

in Chile the enforcement of the foreign judgment. If the party against whom the judgment is intended to be enforced was served for process by mail, such manner of notification will be deemed not to constitute due service of process for these purposes; and

the judgment is final in accordance with the laws of the country in which it was issued.

Upon compliance with the above, the courts in the Republic will enforce a final and conclusive Monetary Judgment rendered by a New York State or Federal court sitting in The City of New York having jurisdiction, under its laws, over the Republic, in an action arising out of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedure contemplated by the Chilean Code of Civil Procedure for the enforcement of foreign judgments. To enforce such Monetary Judgment in Chile rendered in relation to the Agreements or the Notes against the Republic, the Monetary Judgment must be presented to the Supreme Court of Chile, in duly legalized (by the Chilean Consul in New York) form and translated by an official translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic. Said Court will hear whatever presentation the Republic wishes to make, which hearing will be limited to aspects relating to such enforcement and not to substantive issues resolved in the Monetary Judgment. The Supreme Court will also hear the Supreme Court Prosecutor (“Fiscal Judicial”) as to such limited aspects, and, with only this background, the Supreme Court will declare whether or not the Monetary Judgment should be enforced. If the Supreme Court orders the Republic to perform any payment obligation, the facts must be made known to the President of the Republic so that he may issue a Supreme Decree ordering enforcement of such Monetary Judgment within a 60-day period. The President of the Republic is prohibited by express mandate of the Constitution from exercising judicial functions as well as from reviewing the basis for and the contents of the court’s decision.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability in Chile of a foreign judgment against the Republic that is not a Monetary Judgment or that has been obtained in any court other than the New York State or Federal courts sitting in New York City.

(m) It is not necessary under the laws of the Republic that the Underwriters be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in the Republic by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Agreements and the Underwriters will not be deemed resident, domiciled, to be carrying on business or subject to taxation in the Republic solely by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements or the enforcement thereof in Chile.

(n) The Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, and their filing with the Commission have been duly and validly authorized by and on behalf of the Republic and the Registration Statement has been duly and validly executed and filed by the authorized officials of the Republic on behalf of the Republic.

(o) All statements in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus with respect to or involving the Constitution, the Government Administration Law, the Sovereign Immunity Law, the Budget Law and any other laws, statutes and regulations of or

C-1-7

pertaining to the Republic or Chilean law are true and correct as of the date hereof and fairly present the information purported to be shown; and the information provided by the Republic in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus with respect to itself has been provided by the Republic or any National Government Agency in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable thereto as in effect on the date hereof.

(p) The statements in the Base Prospectus under the captions “Taxation – Chilean Taxation” and “Description of the Securities” and in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Notes”, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the documents or matters referred to therein taken as a whole, fairly summarize the provisions of Chilean law therein described.

(q) The laws of the Republic do not require any statute or regulation or legal or governmental proceeding, or any contract or document of the Republic of any character, to be described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, other than such statutes, regulations, and proceedings that have been described therein.

(r) When issued, the Notes and all payments thereon will be free and exempt from any and all taxes, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature of the Republic, except (as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus), for the withholding currently assessed on payments of interest to bondholders that are not residents of the Republic and except to the extent that such Notes or payments will be held or received by persons who are subject to tax for reasons other than the mere holding of such Notes or receiving payments thereon.

(s) The Underwriters are not subject to any taxes, duties or other governmental charges imposed by the Republic or by any political subdivisions or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to any payments received by any of the Underwriters on account of commissions and reimbursement of expenses.

This opinion is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

In connection with our opinion at paragraphs (c), (f), (j) and (l)(iv) above referring to the validity, binding nature and enforceability in Chile and potential conflict with Chilean law or public policy of the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in Section 10 of the Underwriting Agreement, we wish to express that a Chilean court would not find such provisions to be violative of principles of Chilean public policy unless their actual application in a particular case to determine the amount of an indemnification or contribution due by an indemnifying party would, in the judgment of the court, result in a recovery by the indemnified party so arbitrary and unreasonable as to be considered contrary to basic and fundamental principles of the Chilean legal system.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to questions arising under the laws of the Republic. We provide this opinion letter to you in our capacity as special Chilean counsel to the Underwriters. This opinion letter is furnished to you in your capacity as Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement or as Fiscal Agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and is solely for your benefit as such. This opinion letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial accounting or statistical information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus are of a wholly or partially non-legal character or relate to legal matters outside the scope of our opinion letter to you of even date herewith, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (except to the extent expressly set forth in letter (p) our opinion letter to you of even date herewith) and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements (except as aforesaid). Without limiting the foregoing, we assume no

Republic of Chile

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel for the Underwriters referred to below in connection with the issuance and sale of [ ] aggregate principal amount of [Title of Notes] (the “Notes”) by República de Chile (the “Republic”). The Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Fiscal Agency Agreement (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) dated as of [ ], 2010 between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as fiscal agent. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(iv) of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated [ ], [ ] among the Republic and [ ]. Terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used in this opinion as therein defined.

In that connection, we have reviewed originals or copies of the following documents:

(a)

the Underwriting Agreement;

(b)

the Fiscal Agency Agreement; and

(c)

the form of certificate evidencing the Notes.

The documents described in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c) are collectively referred to herein as the “Opinion Documents”.

We have also reviewed the following:

(a)

the registration statement on Schedule B (Registration No. 333-[ ]) filed by the Republic on [ ], [ ] under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with the Securities and Exchange

D-1-1

Commission (“Commission”), and declared effective by the Commission on [ ], [ ] (such registration statement, including the documents and information deemed to be a part thereof at pursuant to Rule 430B(f) under the Securities Act and the documents incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”);

(b)

a copy of the base prospectus, dated [ ], [ ], included as part of the Registration Statement (the base prospectus[, including the documents incorporated by reference therein,] being hereinafter referred to as the “Base Prospectus”);

(c)

a copy of the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated [ ], [ ], relating to the Notes (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”);

(d)

a copy of the final prospectus supplement, dated [ ], [ ], relating to the Notes (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”) (the Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the Final Prospectus Supplement, in the form it was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, [including the documents incorporated by reference therein,] being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Final Prospectus”); and

(e)

originals or copies of such certificates of public officials, certificates of officers and representatives of the Republic and other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.

In our review of the Opinion Documents and other documents, we have assumed:

(a)

the genuineness of all signatures;

(b)

the authenticity of the originals of the documents submitted to us;

(c)

the conformity to authentic originals of any documents submitted to us as copies;

(d)

as to matters of fact, the truthfulness of the representations made in the Underwriting Agreement and the other Opinion Documents and in certificates of public officials and officers of the Republic and other appropriate persons and the statements contained in the Final Prospectus;

(e)

that each of the Opinion Documents is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, other than the Republic, enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms;

(f)

that:

(i)

under the laws of the Chile, the Republic has power and authority to execute, deliver and perform, and has duly authorized, executed and delivered (except to the extent Generally Applicable Law is applicable to such execution and delivery), the Opinion Documents to which each is a party.

D-1-2

(ii)

the execution, delivery and performance by the Republic of the Opinion Documents to which each is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary governmental action and do not:

(A)

except with respect to Generally Applicable Law, violate any law, rule or regulation applicable to it; or

(B)

result in any conflict with or breach of any agreement or document binding on it of which any addressee hereof has knowledge, has received notice or has reason to know.

(iii)

except with respect to Generally Applicable Law, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or (to the extent the same is required under any agreement or document binding on it of which an addressee has knowledge, has received notice or has reason to know) any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the Republic of any Opinion Document to which it is a party or, if any such authorization, approval, consent, action, notice or filing is required, it has been duly obtained, taken, given or made and is in full force and effect.

We have not independently established the validity of the foregoing assumptions.

“Generally Applicable Law” means the federal law of the United States of America, and the law of the State of New York (including the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or pursuant thereto), that a New York lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be expected to recognize as being applicable to the Republic, the Opinion Documents or the transactions governed by the Opinion Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing definition of Generally Applicable Law, the term “Generally Applicable Law” does not include any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Republic, the Opinion Documents or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Opinion Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.

Based upon the foregoing and upon such other investigation as we have deemed necessary and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

The Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Republic.

The Fiscal Agency Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Republic, enforceable against the Republic in accordance with its terms.

D-1-3

The Notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Republic, and when such Notes are authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement and when executed and delivered and paid for as provided in the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic, enforceable against the Republic in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

The statements under the caption “Description of the Debt Securities” in the Base Prospectus and under the caption “Description of the Notes” in the Final Prospectus Supplement, in each case, insofar as such statements constitute summaries of legal matters or documents referred to therein, fairly summarize in all material respects the documents referred to therein.

Our opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

(a)

Our opinions in paragraphs 2 and 3 above are subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally (including without limitation all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and (ii) possible judicial action giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights.

(b)

Our opinions in paragraphs 2 and 3 above are also subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c)

Our opinions are limited to Generally Applicable Law and, we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law.

(d)

The enforceability in the United States of the waiver by the Republic of its immunities from court jurisdiction and from legal process, as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes, is subject to the limitations imposed by the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended. We express no opinion as to enforceability of any such waiver of immunity to the extent that it purports to apply to any immunity to which the Republic may become entitled after the date hereof.

(e)

We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of any indemnity against any loss in converting into a specified currency the proceeds or amount of a court judgment in another currency.

(f)

We express no opinion with respect to Section 8(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(d) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Paragraph 15 of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes to the extent that such Sections (i) contain a waiver of any objection based on inappropriate

D-1-4

venue or forum non conveniens in any federal court of the United States or (ii) imply that a federal court of the United States has subject matter jurisdiction.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to questions arising under the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States. We do not purport to be experts on the law of the Republic and, to the extent such law may be relevant to this opinion, we have with your permission, but without having made any independent investigation with respect thereto, assumed the correctness of the opinion delivered to you today of [ ], special Chilean counsel for the Underwriters, and the opinion of [ ], special Chilean counsel for the Republic. Such opinions are substantially responsive to the requirements of the Underwriting Agreement.

This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Opinion Documents. This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you of any development or circumstance of any kind, including any change of law or fact, that may occur after the date of this opinion letter that might affect the opinions expressed herein.

The Bank of New York Mellon, as fiscal agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, is hereby authorized to rely upon this opinion to the same extent as if it were addressed to it.


Very truly yours,

SPECIAL NEW YORK COUNSEL TO THE UNDERWRITERS

[ ], [ ]

[ ]

Republic of Chile

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the issuance and sale of [ ] aggregate principal amount of [Title of Notes] (the “Notes”) by República de Chile (the “Republic”). The Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Fiscal Agency Agreement (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) dated as of [ ], 2010 between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as fiscal agent. This letter is delivered to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(iv) of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated [ ], [ ] among the Republic, and [ ]. Terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used in this opinion as therein defined.

In such capacity, we examined copies of the registration statement on Schedule B (Registration No. 333-[ ]) filed by the Republic on [ ], [ ] under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and declared effective by the Commission on [ ], [ ]. As used herein, the term “Registration Statement” means such registration statement, including the documents and information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B(f) under the Securities Act and the documents incorporated by reference therein; the term “Base Prospectus” means the base prospectus dated [ ], [ ] relating to debt securities and warrants generally which is included as part of the Registration Statement; the term “General Disclosure Package” means the preliminary prospectus supplement dated [ ], [ ] relating to the Notes taken together with the information set forth in Schedule III to the Underwriting Agreement, the Base Prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference therein; the term “Final Prospectus Supplement” means the final prospectus supplement dated [ ], [ ] relating to the Notes in the form in which it was filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act; the term “Prospectus” means the Final Prospectus Supplement, the Base Prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference therein; and the term “Applicable Time” means [ ][a.m./ p.m.] Eastern time on [ ], [ ], which we have assumed with your permission to be the time of first sale of the Notes to the public. Except for the Final Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement (including the Base Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement) was prepared by the Republic without our participation.

D-2-1

We also reviewed and participated in discussions concerning the preparation of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus with certain representatives of the Republic, with its counsel, and with your representatives and your Chilean counsel. The limitations inherent in the independent verification of factual matters and in the role of outside counsel are such, however, that we cannot and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any of the statements made in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, except as set forth in paragraph 4 of our opinion addressed to you, dated the date hereof.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, we advise you that, on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, in our opinion each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and other financial or statistical data contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we express no opinion) appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

We further advise you that, subject to the limitations set forth in the second preceding paragraph, on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, no facts came to our attention which caused us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and other financial or statistical data contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we have not been requested to comment), as of the date of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the General Disclosure Package (other than the financial statements and other financial or statistical data contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we have not been requested to comment), as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and other financial or statistical data contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we have not been requested to comment), as of its date or the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

This letter is being furnished to you solely for your benefit in connection with your role as underwriters of the Notes, and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

Very truly yours,

[ ]
