[TITLE OF SECURITY]




          The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under
the 2008 Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ___, or registered assigns, the
principal sum of ___ on ___ and to pay interest thereon, from ___ or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, ___ on ___ in each year (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”), commencing on ___ and at the Maturity of the principal hereof, until the
principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, at the rate of [IF APPLICABLE, INSERT -
___% above][LIBOR][EURIBOR], determined in accordance with the following provisions and reset
effective each Interest Reset Date. If an Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is
not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business
Day. [IF MODIFIED FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY CONVENTION APPLIES, INSERT – However, if that Business Day
is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will instead be the immediately
preceding Business Day.] Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Interest Payment Date that falls on the
Maturity of this Security will not be changed. Any such installment of interest that is overdue
shall also bear interest at the same rate in effect during the Interest Period ending on the due
date of such installment of interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable), from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or
made

available for payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any installment of interest
that is overdue shall be payable on demand.



          Interest on this Security shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed. Payments of interest on this Security with respect to any Interest Payment
Date or at the Maturity of the principal hereof will include interest accrued to but excluding such
Interest Payment Date or the date of such Maturity, as the case may be. Accrued interest from the
date of issue or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for shall be
calculated by the Calculation Agent by multiplying the principal amount by an accrued interest
factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factors calculated
for each day from and including the date of issue or from and including the last date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, to but excluding the date for which accrued interest
is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day shall be expressed as a decimal and
computed by dividing the interest rate (also expressed as a decimal) in effect on such day by 360.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on this Security shall not be higher than the maximum rate
permitted by New York law, as it may be modified by U.S. law of general applicability.



          For the purposes of this Security, [LIBOR][EURIBOR] will be determined in the following
manner:



          [IF LIBOR, INSERT — LIBOR will be the offered rate per annum for [insert applicable index
maturity] deposits in [insert applicable index currency], as that rate appears on the Reuters
Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the relevant Interest Determination Date.
LIBOR for the initial Interest Period will be the Initial Base Rate.



          If the rate described above does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, LIBOR will be
determined on

mean of the quotations.



          If fewer than two quotations are provided as described above, LIBOR for the relevant Interest
Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to
leading European banks quoted, at approximately 11:00 A.M. New York City time, on that Interest
Determination Date, by three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent:

5.01(1) and (2) thereof, insofar as applicable to this series) there is a reference, in any

such additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 3
or any corresponding section of another Security of this series, as the case may be. Express
mention of the payment of additional amounts in any provision of any Security of this series shall
not be construed as excluding additional amounts in the provisions of any Security of this series
(or of the 2008 Indenture insofar as it applies to this series) where such express mention is not
made.

respect of any Security of this series pursuant to Section 3 of this Security or any

provided, however, that (1) the Company gives the Holder of this Security notice of
such redemption not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption
as provided in the 2008 Indenture, (2) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90
days prior to the next Interest Payment Date on which the Company would be obligated to pay such
additional amounts and (3) at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such additional
amounts remains in effect. Immediately prior to the giving of any notice of redemption of
Securities pursuant to this Section 4, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in
reasonable detail a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the
Company to so redeem the Securities have occurred. Interest installments due on or prior to a

Company and the rights of the Holders of
the Securities to be affected under the 2008 Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Securities at the time
Outstanding to be affected, considered together as one class for this purpose (such Securities to
be affected may be Securities of the same or different series and, with respect to any series, may
comprise fewer than all the Securities of such series). The 2008 Indenture also contains
provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding to be affected under the 2008 Indenture, considered together as one class for this
purpose (such affected Securities may be Securities of the same or different series and, with
respect to any particular series, may comprise fewer than all the Securities of such series), on
behalf of the Holders of all Securities so affected, to waive compliance by the Company with
certain provisions of the 2008 Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the 2008
Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders
of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the 2008 Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.



          7. Remedies.



          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the 2008 Indenture.

          As provided in and subject to the provisions of the 2008 Indenture, the Holder of this
Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the 2008 Indenture or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder
shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the
Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the
Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a
direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding,
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.



          The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the
enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the
respective due dates expressed herein.



          If
so provided pursuant to the terms of any specific Securities, the
above-referenced provisions of the 2008 Indenture regarding the
ability of Holders to waive certain defaults, or to request the
Trustee to institute proceedings (or to give the Trustee other
directions) in respect thereof, may be applied differently with regard
to such Securities.




          No reference herein to the 2008 Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the 2008
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.



          8. Transfer and Exchange.

payable in connection therewith.
