Your notes could be subject to a U.S. withholding tax of 30% under FATCA. This tax could apply if you or any non-U.S. person or
entity that receives a payment (directly or indirectly) on your behalf (including a bank, custodian, broker or other payee, at any point
in the series of payments made on your notes) does not comply with the U.S. information reporting, withholding, identification,
certification, and related requirements imposed by FATCA. The payments potentially subject to this withholding tax include interest
(including original issue discount) and other periodic payments as well as payments made upon the sale, exchange, redemption or
maturity of your notes.
You should consult your tax advisor regarding the relevant U.S. law and other official guidance on FATCA. You could be affected
by this withholding if, for example, your bank or broker through which you hold the notes is subject to withholding because it fails
to comply with these requirements. This might be the case even if you would not otherwise have been directly subject to
withholding. Accordingly, you should consult your bank or broker about the likelihood that payments to it (for credit to you) will
become subject to withholding in the payment chain.
The withholding tax described above could currently apply to all interest (including original issue discount) and other periodic
payments made on the notes. In addition, the withholding tax described above could apply to payments made upon the sale,
exchange, redemption or maturity of the notes on or after January 1, 2017.
We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of this withholding tax, so if this withholding applies, you will receive significantly
less than the amount that you would have otherwise received with respect to your notes. Depending on your circumstances, you
may be entitled to a refund or credit in respect of some or all of this withholding. However, even if you are entitled to have any such
withholding refunded, the required procedures could be cumbersome and significantly delay your receipt of any withheld amounts.
For more information, see "Additional Information About the Notes Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding"
below.
In addition, your notes may also be subject to other U.S. withholding tax as described in "United States Taxation" in the
accompanying prospectus.

We will issue each tranche of notes as a master global note registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the notes
will settle in immediately available funds through DTC. You will not be permitted to withdraw the notes from DTC except in the
limited situations described in the accompanying prospectus under "Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance -- What Is a Global
Security? -- Holder's Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated".
Investors may hold interests in a master global note through organizations that participate, directly or indirectly, in the DTC system.
In addition to this pricing supplement, the following provisions are hereby incorporated into the global master note: the description of
the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention appearing under "Description of Notes We May Offer Interest Rates Fixed Rate Notes"

Survivor's Option to Request Repayment
Following the death of the beneficial owner of a note, so long as that note was owned by that beneficial owner or the estate of that
beneficial owner for at least six months prior to the request, if requested by the authorized representative of the beneficial owner of
that note (subject to the limitations described below), we agree to redeem any notes prior to the stated maturity unless the notes:

·
have been previously redeemed or otherwise repaid, or

·
have been declared due and payable before their stated maturity by reason of an event of default under the 2008 Indenture,
as more fully described in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Default,
Remedies and Waiver of Default".
Upon the valid exercise of the option to request repayment described in the preceding paragraph (Survivor's Option) and the
proper tender of that note for repayment (subject to the limitations described below), we will redeem that note, in whole or in part
(but in amounts of not less than $1,000), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the note plus any unpaid interest
accrued to (but excluding) the date of repayment.
Incapital LLC has advised that it intends to make a market in the notes. Depending on market conditions, including changes in
interest rates, and our creditworthiness, the value of the notes may be greater than the redemption price. Ac c ordingly, t he

To be valid, the Survivor's Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the person who has:

·
authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of the note, including, without limitation, the personal representative
or executor of the deceased beneficial owner or the surviving joint owner with the deceased beneficial owner, under the laws
of the applicable jurisdiction, and

·
the right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of an interest in a note and the right to receive the proceeds from the note, as
well as the principal and interest payable to the holder of the note.
The following will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of a note, and the entire principal amount of the note so held will be
subject to redemption by us upon request (with the limitations described below):

·
death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a note as a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety with another
person, a tenant in common with the deceased holder's spouse or a tenant in common with a person other than such
deceased person's spouse;

Pricing Supplement Nos. 3108 and 3109 dated September 2, 2014
·
death of a person who at the time of his or her death was a beneficiary of a revocable or irrevocable trust that holds a
beneficial ownership interest in a note may, in the discretion of the Trustee, be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of that
note, if such beneficial trust interest can be established to the satisfaction of us and the Trustee; and

·
death of a person who, at the time of his or her death, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership interests in
a note regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the registered holder of that note, if entitlement to those interests can
be established to the satisfaction of us and the Trustee.
In addition, a beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist:

·
in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act,
community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife; and

·
in custodial and trust arrangements where one person has all of the beneficial ownership interests in the applicable note at
the time of his or her death.
We have the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which exercises of the Survivor's Option shall
be accepted by us from authorized representatives:

·
of all deceased beneficial owners in any calendar year to an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate principal amount of all
notes of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. outstanding as of the end of the prior calendar year that (a) contain a survivor's
option and (b) were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (two percent aggregate limitation); and

·
of any individual deceased beneficial owner of notes to $250,000 in any calendar year ($250,000 limitation).
In addition, we will not permit the exercise of the Survivor's Option except in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.
We may, at our option and pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor's Option, redeem interests of any deceased beneficial owner in
the notes in any calendar year in excess of the $250,000 limitation. Any optional redemption by us of this kind, to the extent it
exceeds the $250,000 limitation for any deceased beneficial owner, will not be included in the computation of the two percent
aggregate limitation for redemption of the notes for that or any other calendar year.
We may also, at our option and pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor's Option, redeem interests of deceased beneficial owners
in the notes in any calendar year in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the two percent aggregate limitation. Any optional
redemption by us of this kind, to the extent it exceeds the two percent aggregate limitation, will not be considered in calculating the
two percent aggregate limitation for any other calendar year.
Furthermore, any optional redemption with respect to a deceased beneficial owner's interest in the notes is inapplicable with
respect to any other deceased beneficial owner's interest in the notes. In other words, we may waive any applicable limitations with
respect to a deceased beneficial owner but not make the same or similar waivers with respect to other deceased beneficial owners.
Each election to exercise the Survivor's Option will be accepted in the order that elections are received by the Trustee, except for
any note the acceptance of which would contravene either the two percent aggregate limitation or the $250,000 limitation. Upon
any determination by us to redeem notes in excess of the $250,000 limitation or the two percent aggregate limitation, notes will be
redeemed in the order of receipt of redemption requests by the Trustee. Each tendered note that is not accepted in any calendar
year due to the application of either the two percent aggregate limitation or the $250,000 limitation will be deemed to be tendered
in the following calendar year in the order in which all such notes were originally tendered.
Notes accepted for repayment through the exercise of the Survivor's Option will be redeemed on the earlier of the June 15th or
December 15th interest payment date that occurs 60 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance. For example, if the
acceptance date of a note tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor's Option is December 1, 2014, and interest on that
note is paid monthly on the 15th of every month, we would normally, at our option, repay that note on the interest payment date
occurring on June 15, 2015, because the December 15, 2014 interest payment date would occur less

than 60 days from the date of acceptance. Any redemption request may be withdrawn by the person(s) presenting the request
upon delivery of a written request for withdrawal given by the participant on behalf of the person(s) to the Trustee not less than 30
days before the redemption date. If a note tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor's Option is not accepted, the Trustee

Pricing Supplement Nos. 3108 and 3109 dated September 2, 2014
will deliver a notice by first-class mail to the participant through whom the note was tendered that states the reason that note has
not been accepted for redemption.
With respect to notes represented by a master global note (such as these notes), DTC or its nominee is the depositary and is
treated as the holder of the notes and the institution that has an account with the depositary of the notes is referred to as the
"participant".
To obtain redemption pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option for a note, the deceased beneficial owner's authorized
representative must provide the following items to the participant in DTC through which the beneficial interest in the note is held by
the deceased beneficial owner:

·
a written request for redemption signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner with the signature
guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Institution Regulatory Authority,
Inc. (FINRA) or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States and a written
instruction to notify the Trustee of the authorized representative's desire to obtain redemption pursuant to exercise of the
Survivor's Option;

·
appropriate evidence satisfactory to us and the Trustee:

(a)
that the deceased was the beneficial owner of the note at the time of death and his or her interest in the note was

owned by the deceased beneficial owner or his or her estate for at least six months prior to the request for redemption,

(b)
of the price paid by the beneficial owner for the note,

(c)
that the death of the beneficial owner has occurred,

(d)
of the date of death of the beneficial owner, and

(e)
that the representative has authority to act on behalf of the beneficial owner;

·
if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement;

·
tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that we or the Trustee reasonably require in order to establish the
validity of the beneficial ownership of the note and the claimant's entitlement to payment;

·
any additional information we or the Trustee reasonably require to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of
the Survivor's Option or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the redemption of
the note; and

·
if the interest in the note is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to us and the
Trustee from the nominee attesting to the deceased's beneficial ownership of such note.
After the representative provides the information to the participant, the participant will then deliver each of these items to the
Trustee, and to Goldman, Sachs & Co. in its capacity as administrator of the Survivor's Option on our behalf, together with
evidence satisfactory to us and the Trustee from the participant stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner. The
participant will then need to deliver to the Trustee a request for redemption substantially in the form attached as Appendix A to this
pricing supplement.
All questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor's Option will be determined by us, in our sole
discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties.
Subject to arrangements with the depositary, payment for interests in the notes to be redeemed will be made to the depositary in
the aggregate principal amount specified in the redemption requests submitted to the Trustee by the depositary that are to be
fulfilled in connection with the payment upon presentation of the notes to the Trustee for redemption.
Additional redemption request forms for the exercise of the Survivor's Option may be obtained from the Trustee at The Bank of
New York Mellon at 2001 Bryan Street, 9th Floor, Dallas, TX 75201, Attention: Survivor Options Processing, telephone: (800) 254-

Pricing Supplement Nos. 3108 and 3109 dated September 2, 2014
·
all references in this section of the pricing supplement to participants and the depositary, including the depositary's governing
rules, regulations and procedures, will be deemed inapplicable;

·
all determinations that the participants are required to make as described in this section will be made by us, including, without
limitation, determining whether the applicable decedent is in fact the beneficial owner of the interest in the notes to be
redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the representative is duly authorized to request redemption on behalf of the
applicable beneficial owner; and

·
all redemption requests, to be effective, must:

·
be delivered by the representative to the Trustee, with a copy to us;

·
if required by the Trustee and us, be in the form of the attached redemption request with appropriate changes mutually

agreed to by the Trustee and us to reflect the fact that the redemption request is being executed by a representative,
including provision for signature guarantees; and

·
be accompanied by the note that is the subject of the redemption request or, if applicable, a properly executed
assignment or endorsement, in addition to all documents that are otherwise required to accompany a redemption request.

If the record holder of the note is a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate or letter from the nominee
attesting to the deceased's ownership of a beneficial interest in the note must also be delivered.
Additional Disclosure About Our Relationship with the Trustee
The Bank of New York Mellon is initially serving as trustee for the indenture under which the notes are being issued. Affiliates of
the trustee have underwritten our securities from time to time in the past and may underwrite our securities from time to time in the
future. The trustee may have to resign if a default occurs with respect to the notes within one year after any offering of our
securities underwritten by an affiliate of the trustee, such as BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, since the trustee would likely be
considered to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. In that event, except in very limited
circumstances, the trustee would be required to resign as trustee under the indenture under which the notes are being issued and
we would be required to appoint a successor trustee, unless the default is cured or waived within 90 days. In addition, the trustee
can resign for any reason with 60 days notice, and we would be required to appoint a successor trustee. If the trustee resigns
following a default or for any other reason, it may be difficult to identify and appoint a qualified successor trustee. The trustee will
remain the trustee under the indenture until a successor is appointed. During the period of time until a successor is appointed, the
trustee will have both (a) duties to noteholders under the indenture and (b) a conflicting interest under the indenture for purposes of
the Trust Indenture Act. In the accompanying prospectus dated September 19, 2011 under "Our Relationship with the Trustee," we
describe certain other circumstances in which the trustee may have to resign due to a conflict of interest.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding
FATCA could impose a withholding tax of 30% on interest income (including original issue discount) and other periodic payments
on the notes paid to you or any non-U.S. person or entity that receives such income (a "non-U.S. payee") on your behalf, unless
you and each such non-U.S. payee in the payment chain comply with the applicable information reporting, account identification,
withholding, certification and other FATCA-related requirements. This withholding tax could also apply to all payments made upon
the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of the notes by a non-compliant payee. In the case of a payee that is a non-U.S.
financial institution (for example, a clearing system, custodian, nominee or broker), withholding generally will not be imposed if the
financial institution complies with the requirements imposed by FATCA to collect and report (to the U.S. or another relevant taxing
authority) substantial information regarding such institution's U.S. account holders (which would include some account holders that
are non-U.S. entities but have U.S. owners). Other payees, including individuals, may be required to provide proof of tax residence
or waivers of confidentiality laws and/or, in the case of non-U.S. entities, certification or information relating to their U.S. ownership.
Withholding may be imposed at any point in a chain of payments if the payee is not compliant. A chain may work as follows, for
example: The payment is transferred through a paying agent to a clearing system, the clearing system makes a payment to each of
the clearing system's participants, and finally

PS-7
Table of Contents
the clearing system participant makes a payment to a non-U.S. bank or broker through which you hold the notes, who credits the
payment to your account. Accordingly, if you receive payments through a chain that includes one or more non-U.S payees, such as
a non-U.S. bank or broker, the payment could be subject to withholding if, for example, your non-U.S. bank or broker through
which you hold the notes fails to comply with the FATCA requirements and is subject to withholding. This would be the case even if

Pricing Supplement Nos. 3108 and 3109 dated September 2, 2014
you would not otherwise have been directly subject to withholding.
A number of countries have entered into, and other countries are expected to enter into, agreements with the U.S. to facilitate the
type of information reporting required under FATCA. While the existence of such agreements will not eliminate the risk that notes
will be subject to the withholding described above, these agreements are expected to reduce the risk of the withholding for
investors in (or investors that indirectly hold notes through financial institutions in) those countries.
The withholding tax described above could currently apply to all interest (including original issue discount) and other periodic
payments made on the notes. In addition, the withholding tax described above could apply to payments made upon the sale,
exchange, redemption or maturity of the notes on or after January 1, 2017. We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of
this withholding tax, so if this withholding applies, you will receive less than the amount that you would have otherwise received.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to a refund or credit in respect of some or all of this withholding. However,
even if you are entitled to have any such withholding refunded, the required procedures could be cumbersome and significantly
delay your receipt of any withheld amounts. You should consult your tax advisor regarding FATCA. You should also consult your
bank or broker through which you would hold the notes about the likelihood that payments to it (for credit to you) may become
subject to withholding in the payment chain.
In addition, your notes may also be subject to other U.S. withholding tax as described in "United States Taxation" in the
accompanying prospectus.
