PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED JANUARY 9, 2006

Payment of Additional Amounts
We intend to make all payments on the notes without deducting U.S. withholding taxes. If we are
required by law to do so on payments to non-U.S. investors, however, we will pay additional amounts on
those payments to the extent described in this subsection.
We will pay additional amounts on a note only if the beneficial owner of the note is a United States
alien. The term "United States alien" means any person who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

· a nonresident alien individual;


· a foreign corporation;


· a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a
foreign corporation, a nonresident alien individual or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust; or


· a nonresident alien fiduciary of an estate or trust that is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income
basis on income or gain from a note.
If the beneficial owner of a note is a United States alien, we will pay all additional amounts that may be
necessary so that every net payment of interest or principal on that note will not be less than the amount
provided for in that note. By net payment we mean the amount we or our paying agent pays after
deducting or withholding an amount for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other
governmental charge imposed with respect to that payment by a U.S. taxing authority.
Our obligation to pay additional amounts is subject to several important exceptions, however. We will
not pay additional amounts for or on account of any of the following:

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because at any time there is or was a
connection between the beneficial owner -- or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary or member of the
beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, trust or partnership -- and the United States (other than the
mere receipt of a payment or the ownership or holding of a note), including because the beneficial owner -- or
the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary or member -- at any time, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

-- is or was a citizen or resident or is or was treated as a resident of the United States;


-- is or was present in the United States;


-- is or was engaged in a trade or business in the United States;


-- has or had a permanent establishment in the United States;


-- is or was a domestic or foreign personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a
controlled foreign corporation;

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED JANUARY 9, 2006


-- is or was a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; or


-- is or was a "ten percent shareholder" of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because of a change in applicable law or
regulation, or in any official interpretation or application of applicable law or regulation, that becomes effective
more than 15 days after the day on which the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs
later;


· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax, or any similar tax,
assessment or other governmental charge;


· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner or any other
person fails to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the
nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or any beneficial owner of the
note, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the U.S. Treasury department or by an applicable
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, as a precondition to exemption from the tax, assessment
or other governmental charge;


· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that can be paid other than by deduction or withholding from
a payment on the notes;


· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the payment is to be made by a
particular paying agent (which term may include us) and would not be imposed if made by another paying agent;


· where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made
pursuant to any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings or any law implementing or complying
with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive;


· by or on behalf of a holder who would be able to avoid withholding or deduction by presenting the note to
another paying agent in a Member State of the European Union; or


· any combination of the taxes, assessments or other governmental charges described above.
In addition, we will not pay additional amounts with respect to any payment of principal or interest to any
United States alien who is a fiduciary or a partnership, or who is not the sole beneficial owner of the
payment, to the extent that we would not have to pay additional amounts to any beneficiary or settlor of
the fiduciary or any member of the partnership, or to any beneficial owner of the payment, if that person or
entity were treated as the beneficial owner of the note for this purpose.
When we refer to a "U.S. taxing authority" in the discussion of additional amounts above and in the
discussion of redemption for tax reasons below, we mean the United States of America or any state, other
jurisdiction or taxing authority in the United States. When we refer to the "United States", we mean the
United States of America, including the states and the District of Columbia, together with the territories,
possessions and all other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America.
When we refer to any payment of interest or principal on a note, this includes any additional amount
that may be payable as described above in respect of that payment.
