 Exhibit 10.59 

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. 

SIGNATURE CARD
FOR                 AWARDS 

AND CONSENT TO RECEIVE ELECTRONIC DELIVERY 

 

IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW, EXECUTE AND RETURN THIS FORM
TO:                          

YOU MUST PROPERLY EXECUTE THIS FORM TO ACKNOWLEDGE ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF 

YOUR AWARD(S) AND RELATED MATTERS. 


 

 1.    I have received and agree to be bound by The Goldman Sachs Amended and Restated Stock
Incentive Plan (2018) (the “SIP”) and the Award Agreement(s) applicable to me in connection with the
                         Award(s) (the “Award(s)”) that I have been granted by the Firm (as defined in the SIP). I
confirm that I am accepting the Award(s) subject to the terms and conditions contained in the SIP, the Award Agreement(s), and this signature card (the “Signature Card”), including, but not limited to, the requirement that certain disputes
be decided through arbitration in New York City and be governed by New York law. For the avoidance of doubt, references to a “share” or “Share” herein mean a share of the common stock of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GS
Inc.”) and, where applicable, deliveries of cash or other property in lieu thereof. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, I understand and agree that to be
eligible to receive any award under the SIP or any predecessor plan, I must not have engaged in any conduct constituting “Cause” (as defined in the SIP) prior to the grant of the award, and by accepting this Award, I represent and warrant
that I have not engaged in any conduct constituting Cause. 
 As a condition of this grant, I understand that the Award(s) (as well as any other award that
the Firm may grant to me under the SIP) is/are subject to governing law provisions as outlined in this Signature Card or in the applicable Award Agreement(s), and, as a condition to receiving such awards, I agree to be bound thereby. As a condition
of this grant, I agree to provide upon request an appropriate certification regarding my U.S. tax status on Form W-8BEN, Form W-9, or other appropriate form, and I
understand that failure to supply a required form may result in the imposition of backup withholding on certain payments I receive pursuant to this grant. 

I irrevocably grant full power and authority to GS Inc. to register in its name, or that of any designee, any and all Restricted Shares (as defined in the
applicable Award Agreement), Shares at Risk (as defined in the applicable Award Agreement) or other shares of GS Inc. common stock that have been or may be delivered to me subject to transfer restrictions or forfeiture provisions, and I irrevocably
authorize GS Inc., or its designee, to sell, assign or transfer such shares to GS Inc. or such other persons as it may determine in the event of a forfeiture of such shares pursuant to any agreement with GS Inc.



 Further, as a condition of this grant, if I am a person who has worked in the United Kingdom at any time
during the earnings period relating to any award under the SIP, as determined by the Firm, when requested and as directed by the Firm, I will agree to a Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 of the laws of the United Kingdom for full or partial
disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pension) Act 2003 under the laws of the United Kingdom and will sign and return such election in respect of all future deliveries of Shares underlying the Award(s) and any previous grants made to
me under the SIP and understand that the Firm intends to meet its delivery obligations in Shares with respect to my Award(s), except as may be prohibited by law or described in the accompanying Award Agreement(s) or supplementary materials. 

If I have worked in Switzerland at any time during the earnings period relating to the Award(s) granted to me as determined by the Firm, (i) I
acknowledge that my Award(s) are subject to tax in accordance with the rulings and method of calculation of taxable values to be agreed by the Firm with the Federal and/or Zurich/Geneva cantonal/communal tax authorities or as otherwise directed by
the Firm, and (ii) I hereby agree to be bound by any rulings agreed by the Firm in respect of any Award(s), which is expected to result in taxation at the time of delivery of Shares, and (iii) I undertake to declare and make a full and
accurate income tax declaration in respect of my Award(s) in accordance with the above ruling or as directed by the Firm. 
 2. I have read and understand
the Firm’s “Notice Periods for Recipients of Year-End Equity-Based Awards” policy (the “Notice Policy”) available through the HR
Workways® link on GSWeb or as otherwise provided to me, pursuant to which I am required to provide certain specified advance notice of my intent to leave employment with the Firm. By executing
this form, I am agreeing to be bound by the Notice Policy as in effect from time to time and, where applicable, am agreeing to a permanent change in the terms and conditions of my employment. I agree to this change in consideration of my continued
employment with the Firm and the Firm’s offer of the Award(s). I understand that the Notice Policy requires me, among other things, to provide my employing entity with advance written notice of my intention to leave employment with the Firm as
follows: 
  

	 	•	 	In the Americas: 60 days in advance of my termination date; 

  

	 	•	 	In Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India: 90 days in advance of my termination date; and



 















	 	•	 	In Japan and Asia Ex-Japan (including Australia and New Zealand and excluding India): 90 days in advance of my termination date if I am a Vice President or an Executive Director;
60 days in advance of my termination date in all other cases. 

 If, under local law or my contract of employment (for example, a Managing
Director Agreement), I have a notice requirement that is longer than those specified above, I understand that the longer notice period will apply. I also understand that if my employment is subject to a probation period, the Notice Policy applies
only if notice of termination is given after the probation period has ended. 
 I understand that if I fail to comply in any respect with the Notice Policy,
I will have failed to meet an obligation I have under an agreement with the Firm, as a result of which the Firm may have certain legal and equitable rights and remedies, including, without limitation, forfeiture of the Award(s) and any other awards
granted to me under the SIP. The Firm may forfeit such Award(s) for violation of the Notice Policy irrespective of whether this agreement constitutes a legally recognized permanent change to my terms and conditions of employment, and irrespective of
whether applicable law permits me to make a payment in lieu of notice. In addition, the Firm may seek an order or injunction from a court or arbitration panel to stop a breach and may also seek other permissible remedies. The Firm may hold me
personally liable for any damages it suffers as a result of the breach. 
 This agreement concerning my notice period is being made for and on behalf of my
Goldman Sachs employing entity, and implementation of the Notice Policy does not create an employment relationship between me and GS Inc. 
 3. I have read
and understand the Firm’s hedging and pledging policies (including, without limitation, the Firm’s “Policies with Respect to Personal Transactions Involving GS Securities and GS Equity Awards”), and agree to be bound by them
(with respect to the Award(s) and any prior awards under the SIP), both during and following my employment with the Firm. 
 4. As a condition to this grant,
I agree to open and activate any brokerage, trust, sub-trust, custody or similar account (an “Account”), as required or approved by the Firm in its sole discretion. I agree to access, review, execute
and be bound by any agreements that govern any such Account, including any provisions that provide for the applicable restrictions on transfers, pledges and withdrawals of Shares, permitting the Firm to monitor any such Account, and the limitations
on the liability of the party (which may not be affiliated with the Firm) providing the Account and the Firm. I understand and agree that the Firm may direct the transfer of securities, cash or other assets in my Account to the Firm in connection
with any indebtedness or any other obligation that I have to the Firm, as determined by the Firm in its sole discretion, however such obligation may have arisen. I also agree to open an Account with any other custodian, broker, trustee, transfer
agent or similar party selected by the Firm, if the Firm, in its sole discretion, requires me to open an account with such custodian, broker, trustee, transfer agent or similar party as a condition to delivery of Shares underlying the Award(s).



 5. If the Firm advanced or loaned me funds to pay certain taxes (including income taxes and Social Security, or
similar contributions) in connection with the Award(s) (or does so in the future), and if I have not signed a separate loan agreement governing repayment, I authorize the Firm to withhold from my compensation any amounts required to reimburse it for
any such advance or loan to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
 I understand and agree that, if I leave the Firm, I am required immediately to repay
any outstanding amount. I further understand and agree that the Firm has the right to offset, to the extent permitted by the Award Agreement and applicable law (including Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which
limits the Firm’s ability to offset in the case of United States taxpayers under certain circumstances), any outstanding amounts that I then owe the Firm against its delivery obligations under the Award(s), against any obligations to remove
restrictions and/or other terms and conditions in respect of any Restricted Shares or Shares at Risk (each as defined in the applicable Award Agreement) or against any other amounts the Firm then owes me, including payments of dividends or dividend
equivalent payments. I understand that the delivery of Shares pursuant to the Award(s) is conditioned on my satisfaction of any applicable taxes or Social Security contributions (collectively referred to as “tax” or “taxes” for
purposes of the SIP and all related documents) in accordance with the SIP. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Firm, in its sole discretion, may require me to provide amounts equal to all or a portion of any Federal, State, local, foreign
or other tax obligations imposed on me or the Firm in connection with the grant, vesting or delivery of the Award(s) by requiring me to choose between remitting such amount (i) in cash (or through payroll deduction or otherwise), (ii) in the
form of proceeds from the Firm’s executing a sale of Shares delivered to me pursuant to the Award(s) or (iii) as otherwise permitted in the Award Agreement(s). However, in no event shall any such choice determine, or give me any
discretion to affect, the timing of the delivery of Shares or payment of tax obligations. 
 6. In connection with any Award Agreement or other interest I
may receive in the SIP or any Shares that I may receive in connection with the Award(s) or any award I have previously received or may receive, or in connection with any amendment or variation thereof or any documents listed in paragraph 7, I hereby
consent to (a) the acceptance by me of the Award(s) electronically, (b) the giving of instructions in electronic form whether by me or the Firm, and (c) the receipt in electronic form at my email address maintained at Goldman Sachs or
via Goldman Sachs’ intranet site (or, if I am no longer employed by the Firm, at such other email address as I may specify, or via such other electronic means as the Firm and I may agree) all notices and information that the Firm is required by
law to send to me in connection therewith including, without limitation, any document (or part thereof) constituting part of a prospectus covering securities that have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, the information contained
in any such document and any information required to be delivered to me under Rule 428 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, including,


 


  
 -2- 














 
for example, the annual report to security holders or the annual report on Form 10-K of GS Inc. for its latest fiscal year, and that all prior elections
that I may have made relating to the delivery of any such document in physical form are hereby revoked and superseded. I agree to check Goldman Sachs’ intranet site (or, if I am no longer employed by the Firm, such other electronic site as
notified to me by the Firm) periodically as I deem appropriate for any new notices or information concerning the SIP. I understand that I am not required to consent to the receipt of such documents in electronic form in order to receive the Award(s)
and that I may decline to receive such documents in electronic form by contacting
                                , which will provide me with hard copies of such
documents upon request. I also understand that this consent is voluntary and may be revoked at any time on three business days’ written notice. 
 7. I
hereby acknowledge that I have received in electronic form in accordance with my consent in paragraph 6 the following documents: 
  

	 	•	 	The Goldman Sachs Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (2018); 

  

	 	•	 	Summary of The Goldman Sachs Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (2018); 

  

	 	•	 	The annual report on Form 10-K for The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. for the fiscal year ended
December 31,             ;                 


 

	 	•	 	The Award Agreement(s); and 

  

	 	•	 	Summaries of the Award(s) (“Award Summary”). 

 8.    I expressly authorize any
appropriate representative of the Firm to make any notifications, filings or remittances of funds that may be required in connection with the SIP or otherwise on my behalf. Further, if I am an employee who is resident in South Africa at a
relevant time, by accepting my Award(s), I expressly authorize any appropriate representative of the Firm to make any required notification on my behalf to the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank (or its authorized
dealer) in relation to my participation in the SIP and to any acquisition of Shares for no consideration under the SIP or other similar filing that may otherwise be required in South Africa. I acknowledge that any such authorization is effective
from the date of acceptance of my Award(s) until such time as I expressly revoke the authorization by written notice to any appropriate representative of the Firm. I understand that this authorization does not create any obligation on the Firm to
deal with any such notifications, filings or remittances of funds that I may be required to make in connection with the SIP and I accept full responsibility in this regard. 

9. The granting of the Award(s), the delivery of the underlying Shares and any subsequent dividends or dividend equivalent payments, and the receipt of any
proceeds in connection with the Award(s) may result in legal or regulatory requirements in some jurisdictions. I understand and agree that it is my responsibility to ensure that I comply with any legal or regulatory requirements in respect of the
Award(s). 


 10. I confirm that I have filed all tax returns that I am required to file and paid all taxes I am required to
pay with respect to awards previously granted to me by the Firm, and I agree, with respect to both the Award(s) as well as awards previously granted to me by the Firm, to file all tax returns I am required to file in connection with the Award(s) and
any sales of any Shares or other property delivered pursuant to the Award(s) and to pay all taxes I am required to pay. 
 11. The goodwill associated with
the relationships between the Firm and its clients and prospective clients is a valuable asset of the Firm that is built and preserved through the combined services and efforts of the Firm and all of its personnel. The Firm provides its employees
with a unique platform of financial products and services, confidential and proprietary information, professional training, access to specialized expertise, research, analytical, operational, and business development support, travel and
entertainment expenses and other valuable resources to build and enhance the goodwill associated with the relationships between the Firm and its clients, as well as to foster and establish such relationships with prospective clients. Accordingly, I
acknowledge and agree that (i) because the Firm contributes valuable resources to build and enhance client relationships, including those for which I provide services, it has a legitimate and essential business interest in protecting the
goodwill associated with those relationships; (ii) by my continued employment, I confirm that I have assigned and will assign to the Firm all goodwill I have developed or will develop with persons or entities with whom I interact while at the
Firm and/or who are or will become clients or prospective clients of the Firm in connection with my employment with the Firm, even if I did business with such persons or entities prior to joining the Firm; and (iii) while at the Firm I do not
have and will not acquire any property, proprietary, contractual or other legal right or interest whatsoever in or to any client or prospective client with whom I interact or conduct business while employed by the Firm or (except to the extent
otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Firm and me that governs my compensation) to any current or prospective revenues associated with such client or prospective client (all such interests being referred to herein as “Intangible
Interests”). For the avoidance of doubt, I am hereby assigning all Intangible Interests to the Firm. I acknowledge and agree that my compensation during the term of my employment with the Firm is adequate financial consideration in this regard,
and that no further consideration is necessary (including in respect of obligations applicable to me after my employment with the Firm has ended). 
 12. I
understand and agree that the terms of any award granted to me under the SIP or any predecessor plan that provide for accelerated vesting, delivery or transferability as a result of Conflicted Employment (as defined in the applicable Award
Agreement) may be limited to the extent prohibited by applicable law or regulation.

 Data Collection, Processing and Transfers: 

 

Grantees residing outside of the European Economic Area (EEA): If I am located outside of the EEA, I consent to the
processing of my personal data in accordance with the information set out below. 
 Grantees residing in the European Economic Area
(EEA): If I am located in the EEA, my personal data will be processed in accordance with the information set out below and in the GS HCM – Fair Processing Notice which can be found at

In connection with the SIP and any other Firm benefit plan (the “Programs”), to the extent permitted under
the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, the Firm may collect, process, transfer/transmit (internationally and/or domestically), and use various data that is personal to me, and my data might be deemed sensitive personal data in certain
jurisdictions, including but not limited to my name, address, work location, hire date, Social Security or Social Insurance or taxpayer identification number (required for tax purposes), type and amount of SIP or other benefit plan award,
citizenship or residency (required for tax purposes) and other similar information reasonably necessary for the administration of such Programs (collectively referred to as “Information”) and provide such Information to its affiliates ,
Computershare Limited and its affiliates (collectively “Computershare”) and Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, Fidelity Personal Trust Company, FSB and any of their affiliates (collectively “Fidelity”) or any other service

manual processing) will collect, process, transfer/transmit (internationally and/or domestically), and use this Information only for purposes of administering the Programs. In the United States and in other countries to which such Information may be
transferred for the administration of the Programs, the level of data protection is not equivalent to data protection standards in the member states of the EEA, Switzerland, Canada or certain Canadian provinces or my home country and U.S. public
authorities may potentially access such Information. If I am employed in Argentina, I have also read the text in bold in the respective Argentina legal notice below (the “Argentina Clause”) in conjunction with this Data Collection,
Processing and Transfers section, such text forms part of this section and that in the event of any inconsistency the Argentina Clause shall prevail over this section. Upon request to Equity Compensation (division of

Information be updated or corrected (if wrong), completed or clarified (if incomplete or equivocal), or erased (if cannot legally be collected or kept). Upon request, to the extent required under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, Equity
Compensation (division of HCM) will also provide me, free of charge, with a list of all the service providers used in connection with the Programs at the time of request. There is no legal obligation for me to provide the Firm with the Information
and any Information is provided at my own will and consent. If I refuse to authorize the collecting, processing, use and (international and/or domestic) transfer/transmission of the Information consistent with the above, I may not benefit from the
Programs. The collecting, processing, use and (international and/or domestic) transfer/transmission of the Information will be consistent with the above for the period of administration of the Programs. In particular (within the limits described
above): (i) the Firm will process data (Firm means GS Inc. and any of its subsidiaries and affiliates); (ii) Fidelity or Computershare will process data; (iii) the Firm’s other service providers will process data; and (iv) data will
be transferred to the United States and other countries, as described above for the purposes set forth herein.

The Information may be retained by the aforementioned persons beyond the period of administration of the
Programs to the extent permitted under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction. 

 Other Legal Notices: 

In addition, by accepting (whether expressly or by implication) any benefit granted to you by the Firm, including without limitation your Award(s), you
acknowledge and agree to each of the following: 
  

	 	•	 	No Public Offer: Awards under the SIP and the Firm’s other compensation and benefit programs are strictly limited to eligible participants and are not intended to constitute a public offer in any
jurisdiction, nor intended for registration in any jurisdiction outside of the U.S. You should keep all Award-related documents confidential and you may not reproduce, distribute or otherwise make public any part of such documents without the
Firm’s express written consent. If you have received any such documents and you are not the intended recipient, please disregard and destroy them.



 


  
 -4- 















	 	•	 	Transferability: Any provisions permitting transfers to a third party in the Award documents will not apply to you (i) to the extent that the applicability of those provisions would affect the
availability of relevant exemptions or tax favorable treatment, or (ii) otherwise in circumstances determined by the Firm in its sole discretion from time to time. 


 

	 	•	 	Adequate Information: You acknowledge that you (i) have been provided with all relevant information and materials with respect to the Firm’s operations and financial conditions and the terms and
conditions of your Award(s), (ii) have read and understood such information and materials, (iii) are fully aware and knowledgeable of the terms and conditions of your Award(s), and (iv) completely and voluntarily agree to the terms and
conditions of your Award(s). 

  

	 	•	 	Independent Advice Recommended: The information provided by the Firm or its service providers in respect of an Award does not take into account the individual circumstances of recipients and does not
constitute investment advice. Awards under the SIP involve certain risks and you should exercise caution. The Firm recommends that you consult your own independent legal, financial and tax advisors in all cases, and you acknowledge that you are
provided with adequate opportunity to do so. 

  

	 	•	 	No Employer Involvement: Except to the extent required by applicable law, all Awards are offered, issued and administered by GS Inc., a Delaware corporation, and your employer (if it is not GS Inc.) is not
involved in the grant of your Award(s) or any other GS Inc. equity compensation. All documents related to the Awards, including the SIP, the Award Agreement, this Signature Card and the link by which you access these documents, are originated and
maintained in the United States. 

  

	 	•	 	No Effect on Employment-Related Rights: Any compensation you receive (even on a regular and repeated basis) in connection with the SIP is discretionary and does not constitute part of your base or normal
salary or wages. It does not affect your rights and obligations under the terms of your employment and it will not be taken into account (except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law) in determining any other employment-related rights
you may have, including without limitation rights in relation to severance, redundancy or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
benefits. In particular you waive any and all rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of your employment for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights arise or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under, or be
entitled to receive payment in respect of, the SIP as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. This waiver applies whether or not such termination amounts to wrongful or unfair dismissal.





	 	•	 	No Additional Entitlements: The grant of an Award is strictly discretionary and voluntary and neither this Award (even if Award grants are made to you on a regular and repeated basis) nor your employment
contract implies any expectation or right in relation to (i) the grant of any Award or similar compensation in the future, (ii) the terms, conditions and amount of any Award or similar compensation that the Firm may decide to grant in
future, or (iii) continued employment in connection with any Award. 

  

	 	•	 	Translations: The official Award documents (including contracts and communications) are in the English language. You are responsible for ensuring that you fully understand these documents. The English
version of the documents will always prevail in the event of any inconsistency with translated or interpreted documents. 

  

	 	•	 	Severability: If any provision (in whole or in part) of this Signature Card or the other Award documents is to any extent illegal, otherwise invalid, or incapable of being enforced, that provision will be
excluded to the extent (only) of such invalidity or unenforceability. All other provisions will remain in full effect and, to the extent possible, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed replaced by a provision that is valid and
enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable provision. 

  

	 	•	 	Country-Specific Legal Notices: You have read the country-specific legal notices below that pertain to your place of employment and/or residence (and also the location of your employer, if different), if
any, and understand that they apply throughout the term of your Award(s). 

 [NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION RESTRICTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES PROVIDING SERVICES IN ASIA 
 In addition to and without limiting any
provisions in the SIP or the applicable Award Agreement(s) (including without limitation the Award vesting, delivery, forfeiture, termination or repayment provisions) unless provided otherwise in the Restrictions, if I am providing services to the
Firm in Asia or to BGH, in view of my importance to the Firm and/or BGH, I hereby agree to and acknowledge the following: 
 (a) I hereby agree that the Firm
or BGH would likely suffer significant harm if I associate with a Covered Enterprise during my employment and for some period of time after my employment ends. Accordingly, I hereby agree that I will not, without the written consent of the Firm or
BGH, during the Restricted Period in the Geographic Area: 
 (i) form, or acquire a 5% or greater equity ownership, voting or profit
participation interest in, any Covered Enterprise; or 

 


  
 -5- 














 (ii) associate (including, but not limited to, association as an officer, employee, partner,
director, consultant, agent or advisor) with any Covered Enterprise and in connection with such association engage in, or directly or indirectly manage or supervise personnel engaged in, any activity: 

A. which is similar or substantially related to any activity in which I was engaged, in whole or in part, at the Firm or BGH, 

B. for which I had direct or indirect managerial or supervisory responsibility at the Firm or BGH, or 

C. which calls for the application of the same or similar specialized knowledge or skills as those utilized by me in my activities with the
Firm or BGH, 
 each such activity being determined with reference to the one-year period immediately prior to the
end of the Asia Service Period, and, in each such case, irrespective of the purpose of the activity or whether the activity is or was in furtherance of advisory, agency, proprietary or fiduciary business of either the Firm or BGH or the Covered
Enterprise. 
 (By way of example only, this provision precludes an “advisory” investment banker from joining a leveraged-buyout firm, a research
analyst from becoming a proprietary trader or joining a hedge fund, or an information systems professional from joining a management or other consulting firm and providing information technology consulting services or advice to any Covered
Enterprise, in each case without the written consent of the Firm or BGH.) 
 (b) I hereby agree that during the Restricted Period, I will not, in any manner,
directly or indirectly, (1) Solicit a Client to transact business with a Covered Enterprise or to reduce or refrain from doing any business with the Firm or BGH, or (2) interfere with or damage (or attempt to interfere with or damage) any
relationship between the Firm or BGH and a Client. 
 (c) I hereby agree that during the Restricted Period, I will not, in any manner, directly or
indirectly: 
 (i) Solicit any Selected Firm Personnel to resign from the Firm or BGH; 

(ii) Solicit any Selected Firm Personnel to apply for or accept employment (or other association) with any person or entity other than the
Firm; or 
 (iii) hire or participate in the hiring of any Selected Firm Personnel (whether as an employee, consultant or otherwise) by any
person or entity other than the Firm, including, without limitation, participating in the identification of individuals for potential hire, and participating in any hiring decision. 

I acknowledge and agree that I will have violated this provision if, during the Restricted Period, any Selected Firm Personnel are Solicited or hired: 

(i) by any entity which I form, which bears my name, or in which I possess or control greater than a de minimis equity ownership, voting or
profit participation; or 


 (ii) by any entity where I have, or will have, direct or indirect managerial responsibility
for such Selected Firm Personnel. 
 (d) I acknowledge and agree that these Restrictions form part of my terms and conditions of employment. I also
acknowledge and agree that these Restrictions supersede any part of any other agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes the SIP and the Award Agreement(s)), written or oral, that I am subject to in respect of the same subject matter
unless I am notified in writing to the contrary. 
 (e) Prior to accepting employment with any other person or entity during the Restricted Period, I will
provide any prospective employer with written notice of the Restrictions with a copy containing the prospective employer’s name and contact information delivered simultaneously to the Firm. 

(f) I understand that the Restrictions may limit my ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Firm or BGH. I acknowledge that a
violation on my part of any of the Restrictions would cause immeasurable and irreparable damage to the Firm or BGH. Accordingly, I agree that the Firm and/or BGH will be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for any
actual or threatened violation of any of the Restrictions in addition to any other remedies it or they may have. In the event that I violate any of the Restrictions, I acknowledge that the Restricted Period shall automatically be extended by the
period of time that I was in violation of the said Restriction(s). I also acknowledge that a violation of any of the Restrictions would constitute my failure to meet an obligation I have under an agreement between me and the Firm that was entered
into in connection with my employment with the Firm and/or BGH, may be detrimental to the Firm and/or BGH and would constitute “Cause” for purposes of any equity-based awards granted to me by the Firm and/or BGH and will result in my
forfeiting such equity-based awards. 
 (g) If any provision (or part of a provision) of the Restrictions is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable (whether in whole or in part), such provision will be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining such provisions will not be affected
thereby; provided, however, that if any of the Restrictions are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable because it exceeds the maximum time period such court determines is acceptable to permit such provision
to be enforceable, such Restrictions will be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to modify such time period in order to make such provision enforceable hereunder. 

(h) The promises contained in the Restrictions are provided by me for the benefit of each Firm entity and BGH and I acknowledge and agree that each such entity
may independently enforce the Restrictions against me. Any benefit that I give or am deemed to have given by virtue of the Restrictions is received jointly and severally by each Firm entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Firm entity to
which I provide services from time to time) and BGH.

FOR AUSTRALIA EMPLOYEES ONLY

equivalent of that market price can be ascertained by applying the prevailing USD/AUD exchange rate published by the Reserve Bank of Australia, which can be accessed at the following link:
http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html. 
 Any advice given by GS Inc. in connection with the SIP is general advice only. The

own financial product advice from a person who is licensed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to give such advice. 
 Throughout
the period in which you hold a dividend equivalent right you may obtain copies of all information filed by GS Inc. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which is accessible by GS Inc.’s shareholders and the general public
(“shareholder information”) by going to the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) or to the GS Inc. website (www.gs.com), and at http://www.goldmansachs.com/investor-relations/financials/. You should be aware that
shareholder information can affect the value of your dividend equivalent rights from time to time.



 The actual value you receive in respect of the Shares acquired by you will depend on the number of Shares you
receive, the market value of a Share, the value of any dividend and dividend equivalent payments made in respect of a Share, and the USD/AUD exchange rate. 

There are risks associated with an investment in Shares and the value of any Shares you receive may be less than the value of those Shares today. Some of
those risks are specific to GS Inc.’s business activities while others are of a more general nature. For more detail on those risks, please refer to GS Inc.’s most recent annual report. Individually or in combination, those risks may
affect the value of Shares.

 Warning 

The Award(s) constitute an offer of shares (although the Award may in limited circumstances be settled in cash or other property). The shares give you a stake
in the ownership of GS Inc. You may receive a return if dividends are paid. 
 If GS Inc. runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid

 New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial
products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision.



 The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a
result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. 
 Ask questions,
read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself. 
 The shares are quoted on a stock exchange. GS Inc.
intends to quote these shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This means you may be able to sell them on the NYSE if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the shares.
