Material Fact

São Paulo, March 9, 2009 – COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO (Cosan, Bovespa: CSAN3), pursuant to CVM Instruction 358/02, hereby informs the public about the long-term agreements entered into by its indirect subsidiary, Rumo Logística S.A., with ALL – América Latina Logística S.A., ALL – América Latina Logística Malha Paulista S.A., ALL – América Latina Logística Malha Oeste S.A., and Portofer Transporte Ferroviário Ltda, together called “ALL”.
 
These agreements envisage the transportation by ALL of raw sugar and other derivatives (“Product”) with the expansion of ALL’s rail transport capacity through investments by Rumo in railway lines, wagons, locomotives, and terminals in ALL’s rail network.
 
Rumo should invest approximately R$ 1.2 billion in a rail transport system, to be supported by ALL’s operations, with (i) R$535 million in the duplication, expansion and improvements to the railway line and the yards in the Bauru-Santos/SP railway corridor, sharply increasing its operating capacity; (ii) R$ 435 million towards the acquisition of up to 79 locomotives and 1,108 hopper railcars with 30 tonne/axle capacity; and (iii) R$ 206 million towards the construction and expansion of terminals (“Investment”):

In return, ALL will provide transport services, guaranteeing (i) a minimum volume curve, reaching 1.09 million tonnes per month from the 4th year, (ii) competitive tariffs in comparison with road transport (iii) management of works and indication of locomotive and wagon suppliers; and (iv) payment of rent on equipment in proportion to the actual volume of the Product transported.
 
Consequent to Rumo’s Investment, ALL shall have additional transportation capacity, which will be proportional to the annual investment to be made by Rumo, as detailed in the table below:

* Year 1 – calendar year right after the implementation of Suspensive Conditions
Note: As of Year 5, a 2% annual growth of the monthly capacity may occur, as Rumo provides railcars.
 
The parties’obligations as per the instruments signed are subject to the following suspensive conditions: (i) Rumo will raise the total funds required for the Investment as additional capital without affecting Cosan’s consolidated debt position; and (ii) relevant government approvals to be obtained (“Suspensive Conditions”).
 
The Agreements envisage the transport to the Port of Santos (São Paulo) of approximately 9 million tonnes per year after the conclusion of the Investment and 184 million tonnes of the Product between 2010 and 2028, if the Suspensive Conditions are met. This additional quantity assures significant growth, given that in 2008, ALL transported a mere 2.0 million tonnes of the Product.
 
This project will enable Rumo to explore the future potential of its sugar port terminal, the largest in the world, with static storage capacity for 435,000 tonnes and annual loading capacity of 15 million tonnes of sugar or grain, operating both with solid grain and bagged sugar. This partnership underlines the Cosan’s and ALL’s commitment to constantly seek greater benefits for their clients.
 
COSAN
COSAN is one of the largest producers of sugar and ethanol in the world. With a crushing capacity of more than 44 million tones of sugar cane, the Company holds over 8% of the local market.
