FORM OF
 
UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
 
______________, 2007
 
To the Underwriter
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:

Lan Airlines S.A., a Chilean corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) (the “Company”), confirms its agreement with [ ] (“the Underwriter”), with respect to (i) the issue and sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriter of [ ] Common Shares, without par value, of the Company (the “Common Shares”), in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and (ii) the grant by the Company to the Underwriter of the option described in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any part of [_______________] additional Common Shares, in the form of ADSs, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The aforesaid _______________ Common Shares, in the form of ADSs (the “Initial Securities”) to be purchased by the Underwriter and all or any part of the ______________ Common Shares, in the form of ADSs subject to the option described in Section 2(b) hereof (the “Option Securities”) are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Securities.” The offering of the Securities by the Underwriter is hereinafter called the “Offering.”
 
The Common Shares to be represented by ADSs are to be deposited pursuant to a amended and restated deposit agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”), dated as of March 25, 2003 among Lan Chile S.A., The Bank of New York, as depositary (the “Depositary”), and the holders from time to time of the American Depositary Receipts (the “ADRs”) to be issued under the Deposit Agreement and evidencing the ADSs. Each ADS represents five Common Shares. All references to “U.S. dollars” or “$” herein are to United States dollars.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (No. 333-142665), including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses, which registration statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “1933 Act Regulations”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Such registration statement covers the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act. Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the 1933 Act Regulations and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. Any information included in such prospectus that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430B Information.” Each prospectus used in connection with the offering of the Securities that omitted Rule 430B Information is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.” Such registration statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 11 of Form F-3 under the 1933 Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by 1933 Act Regulations, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is herein called the “Original Registration Statement.” The final prospectus in the form first furnished to the Underwriter for use in connection with the offering of the Securities, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 11 of Form F-3 under the 1933 Act at the time of the execution of this Agreement and any preliminary prospectuses that form a part thereof, is herein called the “Prospectus” (which term shall include the ADR Prospectuses (as defined below) unless the context otherwise requires). For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).
 
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.
 
The Company and the Depositary have also filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form F-6 (No. 333-125996), filed on June 21, 2005, and a related prospectus, which may be in the form of an ADR certificate (the “Registration Statement on Form F-6”), for the registration under the 1933 Act of the ADSs evidenced by ADRs, have filed such amendments thereto and such amended prospectuses as may have been required to the date hereof, and will file such additional amendments thereto and such amended prospectuses as may hereafter be required. The Registration Statement on Form F-6, as amended at the time it becomes effective (including by the filing of any post-effective amendments thereto), and the prospectuses included therein, as then amended, are hereinafter called the “ADR Registration Statement” and the “ADR Prospectus,” respectively.

(xi) Validity of ADRs. Upon the due issuance by the Depositary of ADRs evidencing ADSs against the deposit of Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, such ADRs evidencing ADSs will be duly and validly issued under the Deposit Agreement and persons in whose names such ADRs evidencing ADSs are registered will be entitled to the rights of registered holders of ADRs evidencing ADSs specified therein and in the Deposit Agreement.
 
(xii) No Limitation on Vote, Transfer and Payment of Dividends. Except as set forth in the Deposit Agreement, or the Prospectus, there are no limitations under Chilean law on the rights of holders of Common Shares, ADSs or ADRs evidencing ADSs to hold or vote or transfer their respective securities, and no approvals are currently required in Chile (including any foreign exchange or foreign currency approvals) in order for the Company to pay dividends declared by the Company to the holders of Common Shares, including the Depositary.

8

 
(xiii) Authorization and Description of Securities. The Securities to be purchased by the Underwriter from the Company and the Securities to be placed by the Chilean Placement Agents on behalf of the Company have been duly authorized for sale to the Underwriter pursuant to this Agreement and for placement by the Chilean Placement Agent, and when issued, paid for and delivered in accordance with this Agreement and, in the case of the ADSs, the Deposit Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; such Common Shares may be freely deposited with the Depositary against issuance of ADRs evidencing ADSs; the ADSs and the underlying Common Shares are freely transferable by the Company to the Underwriter in the manner contemplated by this Agreement; ownership title to such Common Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or claims will be transferred to the Depositary on behalf of the Underwriter at Closing Time and on any Date of Delivery; there are no restrictions on subsequent transfers of such Common Shares or the ADSs to be delivered to the Underwriter except as described in the Prospectus under “Description of Our Shares of Common Stock” and “Description of the American Depositary Shares;” the Common Shares, the ADRs and the ADSs conform in all material respects to all statements relating thereto contained in the Prospectus and such descriptions conform in all material respects to the rights set forth in the instruments defining the same; no holder of the Securities will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder; and at Closing Time and at each Date of Delivery, if any, the holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are not entitled to preemptive or other similar rights with respect to the Securities to be sold pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(xiv) Absence of Defaults and Conflicts. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of its estatutos (charter and by-laws) or other organizational document, as the case may be, or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”) except for such defaults that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Securities and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement (including the issuance and sale of the Securities and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”) and compliance by the Company with its obligations under this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to the Agreements and Instruments (except in each case for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Repayment Events or liens, charges or encumbrances that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the estatutos or other organizational document of the Company or any subsidiary, nor will such action result in any violation of any applicable treaty, law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary or any of their assets, properties or operations (except for such violations that would not have a Material Adverse Effect). As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any subsidiary.

(xv) Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any subsidiary, which is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement (other than as disclosed therein), or which might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or which might reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the properties or assets thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder; the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or of which any of their respective property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Registration Statement, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(xvi) Accuracy of Exhibits.

11

 
(xxi) Consent to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. The Company has the power to submit, and pursuant to this Agreement has legally, validly, effectively and irrevocably submitted to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the State of New York, County of New York, and has the power to designate, appoint and empower, and pursuant to this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement has legally, validly and effectively designated, appointed and empowered, the Company’s Miami Office (or its successors) as its agent for service of process in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under this Agreement, and the Deposit Agreement in any federal or state court in the State of New York, County of New York, as provided in Section 16 of this Agreement.
 
(xxii) Enforceability of New York Judgment. Any final and conclusive monetary judgment against the Company of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City based upon this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement shall be recognized and enforced by the courts of the Republic of Chile, without re-examining or re-litigating the merits of the original action, provided the following conditions are met (the existence or non-existence of which would be determined by the Supreme Court of Chile): (A) if there is a treaty between Chile and the country where the judgment was passed, the provisions of such treaty will apply, (B) in the absence of a treaty, the rules of reciprocity will apply to the enforcement of judgments; if the country where the judgment was passed does not recognize judgments of Chilean courts, such foreign judgments may not be enforced in Chile, and (C) if the previous rules cannot be applied, the monetary judgment of foreign courts will have in Chile the same effect as the judgments given by Chilean courts, provided that: (w) the foreign monetary judgment does not contain anything contrary to the laws of Chile, (x) the foreign monetary judgment is not contrary to public policy of Chile and does not affect in any way properties situated in Chile, which are subject exclusively to the jurisdiction of local courts, (y) the defendant against whom the enforcement is sought has been given personal notice of the proceedings in accordance with Chilean law and has been afforded a real opportunity to appear before the foreign court and defend his case, which are factual issues that must be established when obtaining in Chile the enforcement of a foreign monetary judgment. Under Chilean law, service of process by mail will not be deemed to constitute personal service of process for the above purposes, and (z) the foreign monetary judgment is final (i.e., not subject to any recourse), conclusive and enforceable under the laws of the state of New York. Upon compliance with the above, the courts in the Republic of Chile shall enforce a final and conclusive monetary judgment rendered by any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City, in accordance with the procedure applicable to the enforcement of final and conclusive foreign judgments in Chile under the provisions of the Chilean Civil Procedure Code (Código de Procedimiento Civil). To enforce a foreign judgment in Chile, a judgment must be submitted to the Supreme Court of Chile, in the form of a legalized and officially translated copy. The Supreme Court of Chile will hear arguments from the party against whom enforcement is sought, but such hearing will be limited to aspects relating to such enforcement and not to substantive issues resolved in the foreign judgment. As of the date hereof, there is no treaty between the Republic of Chile and the United States on the enforcement of foreign judgments. In practice, due to the difficulties of proving in each case whether the reciprocity rule on the enforcement of foreign judgments applies or not in respect of a specific country, the Supreme Court of Chile’s approach on the matter has generally been the examination of whether circumstances in letters (w) and (x) above are duly met by such foreign judgment.
 
12

Under current Chilean law and regulations, no transaction tax, stamp duty or similar tax or duty or withholding or other taxes are payable by or on behalf of the Underwriter to Chile or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with the sale and delivery of the Securities by the Company as contemplated by this Agreement, or in connection with the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement or the deposit of Common Shares under the Deposit Agreement.

If at any time when a prospectus is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriter or for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement or the ADR Registration Statement or to file a new registration statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or the ADR Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations or the requirements of any Chilean authority, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(b), such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, the Company will use its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Securities) and the Company will furnish to the Underwriter such number of copies of such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as the Underwriter may reasonably request. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Securities) or the Statutory Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriter and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

1. against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the ADR Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
 
30

 
2. against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of 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; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and
 
3. against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Underwriter), 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, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
 
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
 
(b) Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers. The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein.
 
(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Underwriter, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) 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.
 
31

 
(d) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 60 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its consent if such indemnifying party (A) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such request to the extent it considers such request to be reasonable and (B) provides written notice to the indemnified party substantiating the unpaid balance as unreasonable, in each case prior to the date of such settlement, subject to provision of notice by the indemnified party in accordance with (i) and (ii) above.
 
SECTION 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) 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 Company on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
 
The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (x) the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and (y) the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriter, respectively, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus.
 
32

 
The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriter were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party 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 or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
 
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and the Underwriter’s Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
 
SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect (but only as of the dates on which they were made), regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling the Underwriter, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

To the Underwriter
Lan Airlines S.A. (the “Company”)
Offering of [ ] shares of Common Stock of the Company
in the form of Shares or American Depositary Shares

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as special legal advisers as to Chilean law to each of the Company in connection with the sale by the Company of [ ] shares of common stock (the “Shares”), a part of which will be offered in the form of American Depositary Shares, pursuant to the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated [ ], 2007 among the Company and you, as the Underwriter.

In accordance with Section 5(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, we are delivering to you our opinion as to certain legal matters relating to the offering of the Shares. For such purpose, we have examined, inter alia, the following documents:

(a) certified copies of the estatutos of the Company;

(b) a certified copy of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on [ ], 2007 authorizing, among other things, the offerings of Shares and the shareholders’ resolution dated [ ], 2007;

(f) a copy of the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-[ ]) (the “Registration Statement”) dated May [ ], 2007 filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), including the prospectus dated May [ ], 2007 (the “Base Prospectus”), the preliminary prospectus supplement dated May [ ], 2007 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and the prospectus supplement dated May [ ], 2007 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”);

(g) copies of the registration statement on Form F-6 (No. 333-125996), filed on June 21, 2005 (the “ADR Registration Statement”);

(h) a copy of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Commission on May [ ], 2007;
 
Exhibit A
42


(i) a copy of the deposit agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”) dated as of [ ], entered into among the Company, The Bank of New York as depositary (the “Depositary”), and owners and beneficial owners of the ADRs; and

(j) a copy of the Underwriting Agreement;

We have also examined such certificates and corporate and other records and documents of the Company, and such other matters, documents and records, and considered such questions of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of rendering the opinion hereinafter set forth. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used in this opinion have the meanings given to the corresponding terms in the Underwriting Agreement.

Having examined the above documents and having regard to the relevant laws of Chile to the extent that they are applicable, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Chile, and has full power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement;
 
2. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Prospectus (except for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to the exercise of options referred to in the Prospectus and repurchase of shares), and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, including the Shares, have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable (except for those shares offered to the minority shareholders in connection with the preemptive rights, and the shares pertaining to the employee compensation plan); the preemptive rights in respect of the sale of the Shares of the Company that are the subject of the offering, including the Option Shares, have been validly waived; the Shares may be freely deposited with the Depositary against issuance of ADRs evidencing ADSs; to our knowledge there are no outstanding securities by, or with the consent of, the Company that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or warrants, rights or options to purchase or subscribe from the Company, or obligations of the Company to issue, shares of common stock or any other class of capital stock of the Company except as set forth in the Prospectus; under the estatutos of the Company, or Chilean Law, the Shares are freely transferable by the Company to or for the account of the Underwriter (to the extent described in the Prospectus); to our knowledge none of the outstanding shares of capital stock, including the Securities, was issued in violation of the preemptive or other similar rights, arising under the estatutos of the Company or Chilean law, of any securityholder of the Company; registered holders of the Shares will be entitled to all the rights of shareholders as provided by the estatutos of the Company and applicable Chilean law; there are no restrictions on subsequent transfers of the Shares under the laws of Chile (except to the extent described in the Prospectus); and the Shares conform in all material respects to the description of the common stock contained in the Prospectus;
 
Exhibit A

3. The Company (i) has, to the best of our knowledge, good and valid title to the Shares free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, pledges, charges, claims, liens, equities or other encumbrances, other than pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and (ii) has the legal right and power (other than those covered in (i) above) and all authorization and approval required by law, to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to sell, transfer and deliver the Shares; upon delivery of the Shares and payment of the purchase price therefor as contemplated under the Underwriting Agreement, good and valid title to the Shares, free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, pledges, charges, claims, liens, equities or other encumbrances will pass to the Underwriter, assuming the Underwriter, as the case may be, has no knowledge of any adverse claim and, only to the extent such an adverse claim exists, such absence of knowledge is not due to the gross negligence of the Underwriter;
 
4. Each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and under the laws of Chile, constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms; and assuming that each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement is in proper form under the laws of the State of New York to be enforced against the Company, each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement is in proper form under the laws of Chile to be enforced against the Company;
 
5. It is not necessary in order to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence in Chile for either the Underwriting Agreement or the Deposit Agreement that they be filed or recorded with any court or other authority in Chile or that any Chilean stamp or similar tax be paid thereon, on any document to be furnished thereunder, or in respect of their execution and delivery;
 
6. To the best of our knowledge and other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any Governmental Agency in Chile pending to which the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the power or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement;
 
7. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated in each of the Underwriting Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Registration Statement and compliance by the Company with its obligations under each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement do not and will not result in any violation of the provisions of the estatutos of the Company, or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, nor, to the best of our knowledge, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, in Chile, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, assets or operations, nor, will any such action, whether with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (only to the extent the Company is concerned) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject;

9. To the best of our knowledge, there are no statutes or regulations of Chile that are required to be described in the Prospectus or in the Annual Report on Form 20-F that are not described as required;
 
10. Under current Chilean law and regulations, no transaction tax, stamp duty or similar tax or duty or withholding or other taxes are payable by or on behalf of the Underwriter to Chile or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with the sale and delivery of the Shares by the Company as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, or in connection with the execution, delivery or enforcement of the Underwriting Agreement or the Deposit Agreement or the deposit of Common Shares under the Deposit Agreement;
 
11. I nsofar as matters of Chilean law are concerned, the Registration Statement and the ADR Registration Statement and the filing of the Registration Statement and the ADR Registration Statement with the Commission have been duly authorized by and on behalf of the Company; and each of the Registration Statement and the ADR Registration Statement has been duly executed pursuant to such authorization by and on behalf of the Company;
 
Exhibit A
45

 
12. No Governmental Authorizations are required under Chilean law to be obtained by the Company in connection with the execution or delivery of, or the performance by any of the Company of its obligations under, any of the Underwriting Agreement or the Deposit Agreement, or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Registration Statement, except for such Governmental Authorizations as have been duly obtained or given and are in full force and effect;
 
13.

All dividends and other distributions declared and payable on the Shares may be paid in pesos exchangeable into U.S. dollars to the Depositary subject only to a withholding tax of 35% (which may be reduced by certain tax credits discussed in the Prospectus under the caption “Taxation—Chilean Taxation”) but otherwise free and clear of any tax, duty, withholding or deduction imposed by or in Chile;
 
14. The Company and its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement are subject to civil and commercial law and to suit and neither the Company nor any of its properties, assets or revenues has any right of immunity under Chilean law from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any Chilean court, from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such court, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and, to the extent that the Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, the Company has validly waived such right to the extent permitted by law and has consented to such relief and enforcement as provided in Section 15 of the Underwriting Agreement and Section 7 of the Deposit Agreement;

Re: Lan Airlines S.A.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We are acting as counsel for The Bank of New York, as depositary, in connection with the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of March 25, 2003 (the “Deposit Agreement”), among Lan Chile S.A. (predecessor to Lan Airlines S.A., or the “Company”), The Bank of New York, as depositary (the “Depositary”), and all owners and beneficial owners from time to time of American Depositary Receipts issued thereunder.
 
We are delivering this opinion at the request of the Depositary to you as provided in the Underwriting Agreement dated ______, 2007 among the Company and you, in connection with the contemplated purchase of _________ _____ shares (“Shares”) of the Company, in the form of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).
 
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the accuracy of the assumptions and to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
 
(i) The Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Depositary and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Depositary enforceable against the Depositary in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement of it may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity.
 
(ii) Upon execution and delivery by the Depositary of ADRs evidencing the ADSs against the deposit of Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the ADSs will be validly issued and will entitle the registered holders of the ADSs to the rights specified in those ADRs and in the Deposit Agreement.
 
These opinions are based upon the assumptions that (a) the Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, (b) all the Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are registered or not required to be registered in accordance with the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (c) all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine. In giving these opinions, we have also relied as to certain matters, without independent verification, on information obtained from public officials or officers of the Depositary.

We are members of the New York Bar only and do not hold ourselves out as practicing under, nor do we express any opinion on or as to the effect of, any laws other than the laws of the State of New York and the Federal laws of the United States.
 
We are giving the opinions set forth in this letter as of the date of this letter, and we assume no obligation to advise you of factual or legal changes which may thereafter be brought to our attention.

2. To induce the Underwriter to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Public Offering, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to transactions relating to the Common Stock of the Company or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering.

Annex A
 
FORM OF ACCOUNTANTS’ COMFORT LETTER PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(h)
 
May [ ], 2007

Lan Airlines S.A.

and
 
The Underwriter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have audited:

 
1.
the consolidated financial statements of Lan Airlines S.A. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “Form 20-F”),
     
 
2.
management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 which is included in the Form 20-F and
     
 
3.
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006.

The consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment referred to above are all incorporated by reference in the registration statement (No. 333-142665) on Form F-3 filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”); our reports with respect thereto are also incorporated by reference in such registration statement. Such registration statement, as amended as of May [ ], 2007, including the prospectus supplement dated May [ ], 2007 is herein referred to as the “Registration Statement.”

In connection with the Registration Statement:

1.
We are an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”).

2.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements audited by us and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.

3.
We have not audited any financial statements of the Company as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 2006; although we have conducted an audit for the year ended December 31, 2006, the purpose (and therefore the scope) of such audit was to enable us to express our opinion on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and for the year then ended, but not on the financial statements for any interim period within such year. Therefore, we are unable to and do not express any opinion on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 6-K filed on May [ ], 2007, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 2006. Also, we have not audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of any date subsequent to December 31, 2006. Therefore, we do not express any opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of any date subsequent to December 31, 2006.
 
Annex A
4

 
4.
For purposes of this letter, we have read the minutes of the 2007 meetings of the stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries as set forth in the minute books at May [ ], 2007 (cut off date), officials of the Company having advised us that the minutes of all such meetings through that date were set forth therein, and have carried out other procedures to May [ ], 2007 (our work did not extend to the period from May [xx +1], 2007 to [date of letter], inclusive) as follows:

 
a.
With respect to the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we have:

 
(i)
performed the procedures (completed on April [ ], 2007) specified by the PCAOB for a review of interim financial information as described in SAS No. 100, Interim Financial Information, on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 6-K for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; and

 
(ii)
inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters whether the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements referred to in a(i) above comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.

 
b.
With respect to the period from April 1, 2007 to April 30, 2007, we have:

 
(i)
read the unaudited consolidated financial data of the Company and subsidiaries for April of both 2007 and 2006 furnished us by the Company, officials of the Company having advised us that no such financial data as of any date or for any period subsequent to April 30, 2007 were available. The financial information for April of both 2007 and 2006 is incomplete in that it omits the statement of cash flows and other disclosures.

 
(ii)
inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters as to whether the unaudited consolidated financial data referred to in b(i) above are stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
 
Annex A
5

 
The foregoing procedures do not constitute an audit made in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. Also, they would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments in the following paragraph. Accordingly, we make no representations as to the sufficiency of the foregoing procedures for your purposes.

5.
Nothing came to our attention as a result of the foregoing procedures, however, that caused us to believe that: 

 
a.
(i)
Any material modifications should be made to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements described in 4a(i), incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, for them to be in conformity with Chilean generally accepted accounting principles.

 
(ii)
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements described in 4a(i) do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.

 
b.
(i)
At April 30, 2007 there was any change in the capital stock, increase in long-term debt, or decrease in consolidated net current assets (working capital) or stockholders’ equity of the Company consolidated as compared with amounts shown in the March 31, 2007 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or (ii) for the period from April 1, 2007 to April 30, 2007, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales or in the total or per-share amounts of income before extraordinary items or of net income, except in all instances for changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement discloses have occurred or may occur.

6.
As mentioned in 4b, Company officials have advised us that no consolidated financial data as of any date or for any period subsequent to April 30, 2007 are available; accordingly, the procedures carried out by us with respect to changes in financial statement items after April 30, 2007 have, of necessity, been even more limited than those with respect to the periods referred to in 4. We have inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters as to whether (a) at May [ ], 2007 (cut off date) there was any change in the capital stock, increase in long-term debt, or decrease in consolidated net current assets (working capital) or stockholders’ equity of the Company consolidated as compared with amounts shown in the March 31, 2007 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; or (b) for the period from April 1, 2007 to May [ ], 2007 (cut off date), there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales or in the total or per-share amounts of income before extraordinary items or of net income. On the basis of these inquiries and our reading of the minutes as described in 4, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that there was any such change, increase or decrease, except in all instances for changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement discloses have occurred or may occur.
 
Annex A

7.
For purposes of this letter, we have also read the items identified by you on the attached copy of the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement and have performed the following procedures, which were applied as indicated with respect to the letters explained below. We make no comment as to whether the SEC would view any non-GAAP financial information included or incorporated by reference in this document as being compliant with the requirements of Regulation G or Item 10 of Regulation S-K.
 
A
Compared to the corresponding amount or percentage in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and found such amount or percentage to be in agreement. However we make no comment with respect to reason given for changes between periods, where applicable.
   
B
Compared to the corresponding amount or percentage in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2004 which are not included in the Registration Statement and found such amount or percentage to be in agreement. However we make no comment with respect to reason given for changes between periods, where applicable.
   
C
Compared to the corresponding amount or percentage in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2002 and for each of the year ended December 31, 2002 which is not included in the Registration Statement and found such amount or percentage to be in agreement. However we make no comment with respect to reason given for changes between periods, where applicable.
   
D
Compared to the corresponding amount or percentage in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and found such amount or percentage to be in agreement. However we make no comment with respect to reason given for changes between periods, where applicable.

E
Compared to a schedule prepared by the Company from its accounting records and found such amount to be in agreement. We (a) compared the amounts used in the schedule to the corresponding amounts in the accounting records and (b) determined that the schedule was mathematically accurate. However, we make no comment as to the appropriateness or manner in which the classification of the amounts contained in the schedule were made.
 
F
Recomputed the related amount or percentage using the applicable data contained in the respective table, financial statements, accounting records, related sentence or found elsewhere in the registration statement and found such amount, difference or percentage to be in agreement.
 
Annex A
7

 
G
Compared to a schedule prepared by the Company from its accounting records and found such amounts to be in agreement. We (a) compared the amounts used in the schedule to the corresponding amounts in the accounting records and (b) determined that the schedule was mathematically accurate. However, we make no comment as to the appropriateness or completeness of the Company’s determination of the Regulation S-K requirements for quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks or as to the reasonableness of the Company’s assumptions underlying such disclosures including the classification of its market risk instruments into market risk exposure categories or as to its determination of the expected maturity dates or amounts.
   
H
Compared to a schedule prepared by the Company from its accounting records and found such ratio to be in agreement. We (a) compared the amounts used in the schedule to the corresponding amounts in the accounting records and (b) determined that the schedule was mathematically accurate. However, we make no comment as to the appropriateness of the definition of such ratios used by the Company.
   
I
We recalculated from the actual column as of March 31, 2007 for the proposed use of proceeds of the Securities to be offered by mean of the Registration Statement as described under “Use of Proceeds,” excluding activity occurring after March 31, 2007. However, we make no comment as to whether the sale of Securities will be consummated and the use of proceeds as described therein will actually occur.
   
J
With respect to the non GAAP measures, “EBITDA” and “EBITDAR”, we compared to a schedule prepared by the Company from its accounting records and found such amount or percentage to be in agreement. We (a) compared the amounts used in the schedule to the corresponding amounts in the accounting records and found such amounts to be in agreement and (b) determined that the schedule was mathematically accurate. It should be noted that EBITDA and EBITDAR are not a measure of operating performance or liquidity defined by generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We make no comment about the Company’s definition, calculation or presentation of EBITDA or EBITDAR or its usefulness for any purposes.
 
8.
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the periods referred to in the introductory paragraph of this letter comprised audit tests and procedures deemed necessary for the purpose of expressing an opinion on such financial statements taken as a whole. For none of the periods referred to therein, or any other period, did we perform audit tests for the purpose of expressing an opinion on individual balances of accounts or summaries of selected transactions such as those enumerated above, and, accordingly, we express no opinion thereon.

9.
It should be understood that we make no representations regarding questions of legal interpretation or regarding the sufficiency for your purposes of the procedures enumerated in the second preceding paragraph; also, such procedures would not necessarily reveal any material misstatement of the amounts or percentages listed above. Further, we have addressed ourselves solely to the foregoing data as set forth in the Registration Statement and make no representations regarding the adequacy of disclosure or regarding whether any material facts have been omitted.
 
Annex A

10.
This letter is solely for the information of the addressees and to assist the underwriters in conducting and documenting their investigation of the affairs of the Company in connection with the offering of the securities covered by the Registration Statement, and is not to be used, circulated, quoted, or otherwise referred to within or without the underwriting group for any other purpose, including but not limited to the registration, purchase, or sale of securities, nor is it to be filed with or referred to in whole or in part in the Registration Statement or any other document, except that reference may be made to it in the underwriting agreement or in any list of closing documents pertaining to the offering of the securities covered by the Registration Statement.
 
Yours very truly,
