Table of Contents
EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT

This section is only relevant to you if you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a pension plan or an
employee benefit plan (including a governmental plan, an IRA or a Keogh Plan) proposing to invest in the notes.
The U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), prohibit certain transactions ("prohibited transactions") involving the
assets of an employee benefit plan that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code (including individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and other plans described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the
Code) (a "Plan") and certain persons who are "parties in interest" (within the meaning of ERISA) or "disqualified persons"
(within the meaning of the Code) with respect to the Plan; governmental plans may be subject to similar prohibitions
unless an exemption applies to the transaction. The assets of a Plan may include assets held in the general account of
an insurance company that are deemed "plan assets" under ERISA or assets of certain investment vehicles in which the
Plan invests. Each of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates may be considered a "party in interest"
or a "disqualified person" with respect to many Plans, and, accordingly, prohibited transactions may arise if the notes are
acquired by or on behalf of a Plan unless those notes are acquired and held pursuant to an available exemption. In
general, available exemptions are: transactions effected on behalf of that Plan by a "qualified professional asset
manager" (prohibited transaction exemption 84-14) or an "in-house asset manager" (prohibited transaction
exemption 96-23), transactions involving insurance company general accounts (prohibited transaction exemption 95-60),
transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts (prohibited transaction exemption 90-1),
transactions involving bank col ective investment funds (prohibited transaction exemption 91-38) and transactions with
service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code where the Plan receives no
less and pays no more than "adequate consideration" (within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and
Section 4975(f)(10) of the Code). The person making the decision on behalf of a Plan or a governmental plan shall be
deemed, on behalf of itself and the plan, by purchasing and holding the notes, or exercising any rights related thereto, to
represent that (a) the plan wil receive no less and pay no more than "adequate consideration" (within the meaning of
Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(f)(10) of the Code) in connection with the purchase and holding of the
notes, (b) none of the purchase, holding or disposition of the notes or the exercise of any rights related to the notes wil
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code (or, with respect to a governmental plan, under
any similar applicable law or regulation), and (c) neither The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. nor any of its affiliates is a
"fiduciary" (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (or any regulations thereunder) or, with respect to a
governmental plan, under any similar applicable law or regulation) with respect to the purchaser or holder in connection
with such person's acquisition, disposition or holding of the notes, or as a result of any exercise by The Goldman Sachs
Group, Inc. or any of its affiliates of any rights in connection with the notes, and no advice provided by The Goldman
Sachs Group, Inc. or any of its affiliates has formed a primary basis for any investment decision by or on behalf of such
purchaser or holder in connection with the notes and the transactions contemplated with respect to the notes.

If you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a pension plan or an employee benefit plan (including a
governmental plan, an IRA or a Keogh plan) and propose to invest in the notes described in this prospectus
supplement and accompanying prospectus, you should consult your legal counsel.
