Ladies and Gentlemen:

THE REPUBLIC OF CHILE (the “Republic”) proposes to issue and sell to Banco Santander, S.A., Citigroup Global Markets Limited, HSBC Bank plc and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (the “Underwriters”) €1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.750% Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The offering of the Notes by the Republic is being made concurrently with an offer of U.S. dollar-denominated notes due 2026 (the “USD Notes”) in accordance with a certain underwriting agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “USD Notes Underwriting Agreement”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 12, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of

May 27, 2015 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) a copy of which was filed on May 5, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to registration statement No. 333-183920, under Schedule B (“Schedule B”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes to be issued by the Republic will be evidenced initially by one or more Registered Global Notes (each a “Registered Global Note”) deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking société anonyme (“Clearstream Luxembourg”). The Notes will be in registered form without coupons. The Notes will be issued in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. Except where the context otherwise requires, terms not otherwise defined in this Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”) shall have the meanings specified in the Indenture or in the Notes.

Issue of Notes, Prospectus and Publicity

(a) Agreement to Issue Notes. The Republic agrees to issue and sell the Notes to the Underwriters as provided in this Agreement on January 20, 2016 or such later date, not being later than January 20, 2016, as the Republic and the Underwriters may agree (the “Closing Date”).

(b) Payment of the Notes. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase at a price equal to 98.056% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued interest, if any, from January 20, 2016 to the Closing Date (the aggregate amount of the purchase price paid by the Underwriters in respect of the Notes being the “Purchase Price”), subject to the adjustments referred to in Section 9(c), the principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite its name on Schedule II, as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 11 hereof.

(c) Terms of the Notes. The Notes will be issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and will be in the form and contain such terms as set forth therein. The Indenture and this Agreement are together referred to herein as the “Agreements.”

(d) Publicity. Except as may be required by law and except as provided for in this Agreement, no announcement or other publicity in newspapers, journals or marketing materials relating to the Notes shall be made or issued directly or indirectly by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto without the prior approval of the Republic and the Underwriters; provided that this shall not apply to customary publications made by the Underwriters in connection with the marketing of the Notes.

Stabilization

(a) The Underwriters, for their own accounts, may to the extent permitted by applicable law, engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the Notes, including without limitation, overallotting the offering, creating a short position and bidding for and purchasing Notes to cover such short positions, and bidding for and purchasing Notes to stabilize the price of the Notes. In doing so, the Underwriters shall act as principals and not as agents of the Republic and any loss resulting from over-allotment or stabilization will be

borne, and any profit arising therefrom shall be retained, by the Underwriters. Such transactions may be effected on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the “Stock Exchange”), in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. However, there is no assurance that the Underwriters (or persons acting on their behalf) will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Notes.

(b) Nothing in this Section 2 shall be construed as requiring the Republic to issue more than €1,200,000,000 in principal amount of the Notes.

Agreements by the Underwriters

(a) Purchase of Notes. The Underwriters agree severally, and not jointly, to purchase the Notes at the Purchase Price on the Closing Date subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Restrictions. Each of the Underwriters severally represents, warrants and agrees that it and, where applicable, each of its affiliates that participate in the distribution of the Notes has complied and will comply with the terms set out in Schedule I.

The Underwriters have not entered nor will they enter into any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution or delivery of the Notes, except with their affiliates or with the prior written consent of the Republic pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Sales Among Affiliates of the Underwriters. The Republic acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may sell to any of their affiliates Notes purchased by any Underwriter, and that any of such affiliates may sell to other such affiliates or to the Underwriters Notes purchased by such affiliates.

Listing

(a) Application for Listing. The Republic confirms that it will make or cause to be made an application for the Notes, on behalf of the Republic, to be listed on the official list of the Stock Exchange and to admit the Notes for trading on the Euro MTF market.

(b) Supply of Information. The Republic agrees to supply to the Underwriters for delivery to the Stock Exchange copies of the Final Prospectus (as defined in Section 5(a)(i)), on behalf of the Republic, and such other documents, information and undertakings as may be required for the purpose of obtaining such listing.

Representations and Warranties of the Republic

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:

(a) Registration Statement.

(i) The Republic meets the requirements for use of Schedule B. The Republic has filed with the Commission registration statements under Schedule B (Nos. 333-183920, 333-204289 and 333-208778) covering the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act and including the related base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”) and any documents included by reference therein. Such registration statements have been declared effective by the Commission, as amended as of the date and time of this Agreement (the “Execution Time”). Such registration statements, as amended as of the Execution Time, together with the Base Prospectus constituting a part thereof, any prospectus supplement relating to the Notes and all documents incorporated by reference thereto, 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 statements together (including the Base Prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference in such registration statements), 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, each as amended, at the date and time it became effective (the “Effective Time”), are 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,” and any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus or the Base Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any annual reports on Form 18-K and any amendments to such Form 18-K on Form 18-K/A (including all exhibits thereto) (collectively, a “Form 18-K”) filed after the Execution Time, under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus.

(ii) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Notes, the Republic will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus that shall not have previously been furnished to the Underwriters or of which the Underwriters shall not previously have been advised or to which the Underwriters shall have reasonably objected in writing.

(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, as applicable, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit or will not omit, as applicable, 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 (3:00 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.”

(v) The documents, if any, incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be (or, if any amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when such amendment was filed), complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and none of such documents 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; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all

material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided that the Republic makes no representations or warranties with respect to any statements or omissions contained in the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Republic by the Underwriters, expressly for use in the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished by the Underwriters is set forth in Sections 10(a) and 10(b).

(b) Powers and Authority. The Republic has full power and authority to execute and deliver each of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Republic hereunder and thereunder (including the 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.

(c) Authorization. The filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance and sale of the Notes and the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes by the Republic and all other documents to be executed and delivered by the Republic hereunder and thereunder (including the Authorization contemplated thereunder) and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by the Republic.

(d) Validity of Agreements. Each of this Agreement and the Indenture and the Authorization contemplated thereunder 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, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equity principles and except that, with respect to this Agreement, the enforceability of rights of indemnity or contribution provided herein may be limited by federal and state and other applicable laws and public policies underlying these laws.

(e) Validity of Notes. The Notes have been duly executed and, when duly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture 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 Indenture.

(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 3 of Law No. 20,882, published in the Official Gazette on December 5, 2015, complemented as published in the Official Gazette on December 24, 2015, and amended by Law No. 20,890, published in the Official Gazette on December 26, 2015, (“Law No. 20,882”), and in Supreme Decree No. 1979, issued on December 11, 2015 and published in the Official Gazette on January 9, 2016 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 Indenture, 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) in any material respect 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 cases of clauses (ii) and (iii), 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 it is not 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).

(k) Republic’s Obligations. When duly issued and authenticated and paid for by the Underwriters, the Notes will constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated external indebtedness of the Republic for which the full faith and credit of the Republic will have been pledged; when issued, the Notes will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated external indebtedness of the Republic. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Republic to make payments under the Notes ratably with payments being made under any other external indebtedness.

(l) Private, Commercial Action. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Indenture 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 the Republic is not permitted under the laws of the Republic to waive its immunity with respect to any attachment (prior to judgment or in aid of execution or otherwise) 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/or consular missions or to the residence of the head of such missions or for military purposes, including such property which is property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency, or the rights or property of the Chilean 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 20 hereof, Section 9.7(f) of the Indenture 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 Indenture and the Notes is in proper form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement of a final and conclusive judgment 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 Indenture and the Notes that such documents be governed by the laws of the State of New York and (ii) would accordingly enforce the final and conclusive judgment made by a New York court. However, for its enforceability and admissibility in evidence in the Republic, each such

document would need to be duly translated into Spanish by a translator appointed by a competent Chilean court, unless executed in Spanish by all the parties thereto. This procedure could be carried out in relation to any document issued or executed in a language other than Spanish at any time prior to such document being admitted as evidence in a proceeding held in Chilean courts.

(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 Fitch Ratings Limited (“Fitch Ratings”), Xxxxx’x 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 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.

(q) Sanctions. The Republic will not knowingly use the proceeds of the offering of the Notes, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any entity or other person, (i) to fund any activities of or business with any person that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, Her Majesty’s Treasury, or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively, “Sanctions”), or is in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Sudan or in any other country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions, or (ii) in any other manner that will result in a violation by any person (including any person participating in the offering of the Notes, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise) of Sanctions.

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.

(b) Filing and Delivery of Final Prospectus. Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Republic will file the Prospectus Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act, setting forth, among other things, the

necessary information with respect to the final terms of the offering of the Notes. The Republic will promptly deliver to each of the Underwriters and to their counsel copies of the Registration Statement in the form in which it became effective and all amendments thereto hereafter made (including any Form 18-K and amendment thereto) which relate to the Notes (in each case including all exhibits filed therewith and all documents incorporated by reference therein not previously furnished to the Underwriters), including signed copies of each consent and certificate included therein or filed as an exhibit thereto, and will deliver to each of the Underwriters as many unsigned copies of the foregoing (excluding the exhibits) as the Underwriters may reasonably request. 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 the 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 to or supplements or an amendment or amendments of 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 to or amendments of 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 Indenture or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(h) Additional Amounts. All payments by the Republic in respect of the Notes will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Republic, or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency therein or thereof having the power to tax (for purposes of this paragraph, a “Relevant Tax”), unless the withholding or deduction of any such Relevant Tax is required by law. In that event, the Republic will pay such additional amounts, including but not limited to, the payment of the 4% withholding tax imposed on payments of interest to bondholders that are not residents of the Republic (“Additional Amounts”), as may be necessary to ensure that the amounts received by the bondholders after such withholding or deduction will equal the respective amounts of principal and interest that would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable in respect of any Relevant Tax:

(i) imposed by reason of a bondholder or beneficial owner of a Note having some present or former connection with the Republic other than merely being a bondholder or beneficial owner of the Note or receiving payments of any nature on the Note or enforcing its rights in respect of the Note;

(ii) imposed by reason of the failure of a bondholder or beneficial owner of a Note, or any other person through which the bondholder or beneficial owner holds a Note, to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Republic of such bondholder or beneficial owner or other person, if compliance with the requirement is a precondition to exemption from all or any portion of such withholding or deduction, provided that (x) the Republic or the Republic’s agent has provided the trustee with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of an opportunity to satisfy such a requirement, and (y) in no event shall such holder or beneficial owner or other person’s obligation to satisfy such a requirement require such holder or beneficial owner or other person to provide any materially more onerous information, documents or other evidence than would be required to be provided had such holder or beneficial owner or other

person been required to file Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP and/or W-8IMY; or

(iii) is imposed by reason of a bondholder or beneficial owner of a Note, or any other person through which the bondholder or beneficial owner holds a Note, having presented the Note for payment (where such presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant date, except to the extent that the bondholder or beneficial owner or such other person would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the Note for payment on any date during such 30-day period.

As used in this paragraph (h), “relevant date” in respect to any Notes, means the date on which payment in respect hereof first becomes due or, if the full amount of the money payable has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date, the date on which notice is duly given under the Indenture to the holders that such monies have been so received and are available for payment. Any reference to “principal” and/or “interest” under the Indenture also refers to any additional amounts which may be payable under the Indenture.

The Republic will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in the Republic or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein in respect of the creation, issue, execution, initial delivery or registration of the Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein. The Republic will also indemnify the bondholders from and against any stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies resulting from, or required to be paid by any of them in any jurisdiction in connection with, the enforcement of the obligations of the Republic under the Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein following the occurrence of any Event of Default.

10.

Indemnification and Contribution

(a) Issuer’s Indemnity. 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 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, the second and third sentences of the third paragraph, and the fifth and sixth 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 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, the second and third sentences of the third paragraph, and the fifth and sixth 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 such indemnifying party 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.

(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.

(b) Jurisdiction. The Republic hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and any appellate court, in any action or proceeding commenced by any bondholder, the Trustee 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

(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 for diplomatic and consular missions and for 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 or property of the Chilean Central Bank abroad, 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.

21.

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.

22.

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.

23.

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 email or facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

24.

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,

REPUBLIC OF CHILE

SCHEDULE I
Selling Restrictions

General

By its purchase and acceptance of Notes issued under this Agreement to which these selling restrictions are scheduled, each of the Underwriters represents, warrants and severally agrees that it will observe all applicable laws and regulations in any jurisdiction in which it may offer, sell or deliver Notes; and it will not directly or indirectly offer, sell, resell, reoffer or deliver Notes or distribute any prospectus, circular, advertisement or other offering material in any country or jurisdiction except under circumstances that will result in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and all actions or measures so taken shall be at the sole expense of such Underwriter. Each of the Underwriters also acknowledges and severally agrees that it is not authorized to give any information on or to make any representation not contained in the Final Prospectus or the Disclosure Package in connection with the offer and sale of Notes.

No action has been or will be taken by the Underwriters or the Republic that would permit a public offering of the Notes or possession or distribution of the Final Prospectus or the Disclosure Package or any other offering or publicity material relating to the Notes, in any country or jurisdiction in which action for that purpose is required (other than the United States).

Except for registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and compliance with the rules and regulations thereunder and the qualification of the Notes for offer and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters and the Republic may agree to pursuant to Section 6(f), the Republic shall not have any responsibility for obtaining, and each of the Underwriters agrees with the Republic that it and its respective affiliates will obtain any consent, approval or authorization required by them for the purchase, offer, sale or delivery by them of any of the Notes under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which they are subject to or in or from which they make such purchase, offer, sale or delivery of any of the Notes.

The United States of America

Each of the Underwriters on behalf of itself and its affiliates that participate in the distribution of the Notes, represents and agrees that it and each such affiliate has complied with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable Blue Sky or state securities laws.

European Economic Area

This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Member State of notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for Chile or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither Chile nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of

I-1

notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for Chile or the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer.

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area, with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive was implemented in that Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”), an offer to the public of any notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this prospectus supplement (the “Securities”) may not be made in that Member State except that an offer to the public in that Member State may be made at any time with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date under the following exemptions under the Prospectus Directive:

to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

to fewer than 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representative[s]; or

in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,

provided that no such offer of Securities shall require Chile or the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purpose of the above provisions, the expression “an offer to the public” in relation to any notes in any Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes, as the same may be varied in the Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in the Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended) and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Member State.

This EEA selling restriction is in addition to any other selling restrictions set out in this prospectus supplement

United Kingdom

This document is for distribution only to persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the “Financial Promotion Order”), (ii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) (“high net worth companies, unincorporated associations etc”) of the Financial Promotion Order, (iii) are outside the United Kingdom, or (iv) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000 (the “FSMA”)) in connection with the issue or sale of any notes may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”). This document is directed only at relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons. Any investment or investment activity to which this document relates is available only to relevant persons and will be engaged in only with relevant persons

I-2

The underwriter has represented, warranted and agreed that:

A. it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to Chile;

B. it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

Switzerland

This prospectus supplement does not constitute an issue prospectus pursuant to Article 652a or Article 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations and the notes will not be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Therefore, this prospectus supplement may not comply with the disclosure standards of the listing rules (including any additional listing rules or prospectus schemes) of the SIX Swiss Exchange. Accordingly, the notes may not be offered to the public in or from Switzerland, but only to a selected and limited circle of investors who do not subscribe to the notes with a view to distribution. Any such investors will be individually approached by the underwriters from time to time.

Indenture referred to below

Re.: Republic of Chile

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(i) of the Underwriting Agreement dated January [●], 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Republic of Chile (the “Republic”) and Banco Santander, S.A., Citigroup Global Markets Limited, HSBC Bank plc and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (the “Underwriters”) relating to the issuance and sale by the Republic of €[●] aggregate principal amount of its [●]% Notes due [●] (the “Notes”), which Notes are to be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 12, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of May 27, 2015 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Notes, the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture (collectively, the “Agreements”) are more fully described in the Registration Statements (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:

A-1-1

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

the registration statement on Schedule B (No. 333-208778) initially filed by the Republic under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commision”) on December 28, 2015, the registration statement on Schedule BMEF (No. 333-204289) filed by the Republic under the Securities Act with the Commission on May 19, 2015 and the registration statement on Schedule B (No. 333-183920) initially filed by the Republic under the Securities Act with the Commision on September 14, 2012 (such registration statements, including the documents and information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B(f) and Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, respectively, and the documents incorporated by reference therein, respectively), hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Registration Statement”).

the base prospectus, dated December 28, 2015, included as part of the Registration Statement (the base prospectus being hereinafter referred to as the “Base Prospectus”);

the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated January [●], 2016, relating to the Notes (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”);

the final prospectus supplement, dated January [●], 2016, 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 Authorization delivered by the Republic as contemplated by the Indenture;

the Political Constitution of the Republic (Constitución Política de la República de Chile) dated 1980, as amended (the “Constitution”);

Decree Law No. 1,263 (Decreto Ley N°1.263) of November 21, 1975, as amended, providing for the rules of financial administration and governance of the Republic (the “Government Financial Administration Act”);

Decree Law No. 2,349 (Decreto Ley N°2.349) of October 13, 1978, as amended, on sovereign immunity of the Chilean State (the “Sovereign Immunity Act”);

10.

Article 3 of Law No. 20,882 (Ley N° 20.882), published in the Official Gazette on December 5, 2015, complemented as published in the Official Gazette on December 24, 2015 and amended by Law No. 20,890, published in the Official Gazette on December 26, 2015 (“Law No. 20,882”);

A-1-2

11.

Supreme Decree No. 1979 (Decreto Supremo N°1979) dated December 11, 2015 of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic and published in the Official Gazette on January 9, 2016 (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.

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 Trustee, 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) the truthfulness and accuracy of all oral representations made to us; (iv) that the Underwriting Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 15 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 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, special U.S. counsel to the Republic, dated as of even date, 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 Indenture 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 Indenture and the Notes by the Republic and all other documents

A-1-3

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 Indenture 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 Treasurer General of the Republic (Xxxxxxxx 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 Indenture (which is governed by New York law) so requires, authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, 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 Indenture.

(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 3 of Law No. 20,882 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, Law No. 20,882, 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

A-1-4

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) Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, 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 a translation into Spanish of the Agreements and/or the Notes performed by a translator appointed by a competent Chilean court, 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 Indenture 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 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

A-1-5

of inconvenient forum by the Republic contained in Section 20(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(f) of the Indenture and paragraph 15(b) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, the appointment by the Republic of process agent in Section 18(b) of the Underwriting Agreement and Section 9.7(b) of the Indenture, the consent by the Republic to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in such sections and paragraph and the provisions in Section 18(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(a) of the Indenture and paragraph 15(a) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes, are irrevocably binding on the Republic.

(k) Each of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Registered Global Notes is (and, upon execution, delivery and authentication in accordance with paragraph (d) above, a Definitive Registered Note (as defined in the Notes) 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 Indenture 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 duly translated into Spanish by a translator appointed by a competent Chilean court.

(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 Indenture 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 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):

1. 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;

2. 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);

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

4. 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 service of process was made upon the parties to the action unless the

A-1-6

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

5. 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 Indenture 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 Indenture 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 into the Spanish language by an official translator appointed by a competent Chilean court. 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 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, with respect to or involving the Constitution, the Government Financial

A-1-7

Administration Act, the Sovereign Immunity Act, Law No. 20,882, the Supreme Decree 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, and their filing with the Commission has 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, Law No. 20,882, the Supreme Decree 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 each of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Final 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, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

In connection with our opinion at paragraphs (c), (f), (j) and (l)(5) above referring to the validity, binding nature and enforceability in Chile and potential conflict with Chilean law

A-1-8

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.

Re: Republic of Chile

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(i) of the Underwriting Agreement dated January [12], 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Republic of Chile (the “Republic”) and Banco Santander, S.A., Citigroup Global Markets Limited, HSBC Bank plc and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (the “Underwriters”) relating to the issuance and sale by the Republic of €[●] aggregate principal amount of its [●]% Notes due [2026] (the “Notes”), which Notes are to be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 12, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of May 27, 2015 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Notes, the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture (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

A-2-1

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 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, representatives of the Underwriters and representatives of New York and Chilean counsel to the Underwriters, 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 hereunder, 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), as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, 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 to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

January [●], 2016

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to the Republic of Chile (the “Republic” or “Chile”) in connection with Chile’s offering pursuant to registration statements (Nos. 333-183920, 333-204289 and 333-208778) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of €[●] aggregate principal amount of Chile’s [●]% Notes due [●] (the “Notes”), to be issued under an indenture, dated as of December 12, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of May 27, 2015 (the “First

B-1-1

Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). Such registration statements, as amended as of their most recent effective date, January [●], 2016, insofar as they relate to the Notes (as determined for purposes of Rule 430B(f)(2) or Rule 462(b), as applicable, under the Securities Act), but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, are herein collectively called the “Registration Statements”; the related prospectus dated December 28, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Base Prospectus”; the preliminary prospectus supplement dated January [●], 2016, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”; and the related prospectus supplement dated January [●], 2016, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, 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 January [●], 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between Chile and the several 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 reviewed the following documents:

(a)

a copy of the executed Underwriting Agreement;

(b)

the Registration Statements and the documents incorporated by reference therein;

(c)

the Pricing Prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference therein and the document listed in Schedule I hereto;

(d)

the Final Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein;

(e)

a facsimile copy of the Notes in global form as executed by Chile and authenticated by the Trustee;

(f)

facsimile copies of the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture; 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.

B-1-2

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 Indenture 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 Indenture and delivery and payment in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Chile, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

4. The issuance and sale of the Notes to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement do not, and the performance by Chile of its obligations in the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture 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 normally would be applicable in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, 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).

5. Under the law of the State of New York relating to submission to jurisdiction, Chile, pursuant to Section 18(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(b) of the Indenture 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 Indenture or the Notes commenced by any Underwriter, the Trustee 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 18(b) of the Underwriting Agreement and Section 9.7(c) of the Indenture; service of process effected in the manner set forth in Section 18(b) of the Underwriting Agreement and Section 9.7(c) of the Indenture will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over Chile in any such action.

B-1-3

6. Assuming the validity of such action under the law of Chile, the waiver by Chile, pursuant to Section 20(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(f) of the Indenture 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 Indenture 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 under the headings “Description of the Securities” in the Base Prospectus and “Description of the Notes” in each of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement considered together with the document listed in Schedule I and the Final Prospectus Supplement, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Notes and the Indenture, provide a fair summary of such provisions.

8. The statements under the heading “Taxation—United States Federal Taxation” in each of the Pricing Prospectus considered together with the document listed in Schedule I hereto and the Final Prospectus, 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 Indenture), 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 18(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(b) of the Indenture 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 Indenture and the Notes is (notwithstanding the waiver in Section 19(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(e) of the Indenture 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.

In addition, we note that the enforceability of the waiver of immunities by Chile set forth in Section 20(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7(e) of the Indenture, and Paragraph 15(d) of the terms and conditions of the Notes, is subject to the limitations imposed by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976. We also express no opinion as to the

B-1-4

enforceability of any such waiver of immunity to the extent that it purports to apply to any immunity to which Chile may become entitled after the date thereof.

The foregoing opinions are limited to the federal law of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York.

We are furnishing this opinion letter to you as the Underwriters, solely for your benefit in your capacity as Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Notes. This opinion 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. The opinions expressed herein are rendered on and as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you or any other person, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinions expressed herein.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to the Republic of Chile (the “Republic” or “Chile”) in connection with Chile’s offering pursuant to registration statements (Nos. 333-204289 and 333-208778) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of €[●] aggregate principal amount of Chile’s [●]% Notes due [●] (the “Notes”), to be issued under an indenture, dated as of December 12, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of May 27, 2015 (the “First

B-2-1

Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). Such registration statements, as amended as of their most recent effective date, January [●], 2016, insofar as they relate to the Notes (as determined for purposes of Rule 430B(f)(2) or Rule 462(b), as applicable, under the Securities Act), but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, are herein collectively called the “Registration Statements”; the related prospectus dated December 28, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Base Prospectus;” the related preliminary prospectus supplement dated January [●], 2016, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement;” and the related prospectus supplement dated January [●], 2016, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, 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 January [●], 2016 (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 Statements, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in each of them and the document 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 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 Statements, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in each of them or the document 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, the documents incorporated by reference in each of them or the document 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 Statements, 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 Statements, the Pricing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, including, without limitation, the financial, accounting or statistical data included therein.

counsel, your representatives and representatives of your New York and Chilean counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of the Registration Statements, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, portions of certain of the documents incorporated by reference in each of them and the document 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 Statements (except the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no view), as of [●], 2016, the date on which the most recent Form 18-K/A was filed as an amendment thereto, 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) The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements and the Final Prospectus (except the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein and Exhibit 99.C to the Republic’s Annual Report on Form 18-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2014, as amended by the Forms 18-K/A filed on May 19, 2015, June 3, 2015 and January [●], 2016 (collectively, the “Annual Report,” as to which we express no view), as of the respective dates of their filing with the Commission, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(d) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pricing Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, considered together with the amount and the price to the public of the Notes on the front cover of the Final Prospectus Supplement, the statements under the heading “Description of the Notes” in the Final Prospectus Supplement and the document listed in Schedule I hereto (except in each case the financial, accounting and statistical data included in the sourcebook prepared in connection with the Chile’s offering referred to above and Exhibit 99.C to the Annual Report, as to which we express no view) at the Initial Sale Time listed in the Underwriting Agreement, 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.

(e) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Final Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein (except the financial, accounting and statistical data included therein and Exhibit 99.C to the Annual Report, 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.
