OUTSIDE DIRECTOR ___ OPTION AWARD

          This Award Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of an award granted to you under The
Goldman Sachs Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Options to purchase shares
of Common Stock (“Shares”).

          1. The Plan. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are
incorporated in this Award Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement that are not
defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan.

          2. Award. The Award Statement sets forth (i) the Date of Grant, (ii) the number of
Options granted, (iii) the per-Share Exercise Price and (iv) the Initial Exercise Date. Until the
Shares are delivered to you pursuant to Paragraph 6, you have no rights as a shareholder of GS Inc.
This Award is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement.

          3. Expiration Date. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Options shall expire and no
longer be exercisable on the Expiration Date (as identified on your Award Statement).

          4. Vesting. You shall be fully Vested in the Options on the Date of Grant.

          5. Exercisability of Vested Options.

          (a) General. To the extent Outstanding and unexercised, the Options may be exercised
in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, but not earlier than the Initial
Exercise Date. The Committee may from time to time prescribe periods during which the Options
shall not be exercisable.

          (b) Death. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement, if you die
and any Options remain unexercised, and provided your rights in respect of such Options have not
previously terminated, such Options shall be exercisable by the representative of your estate or,
to the extent you specifically bequeath any such Options under your will in accordance with such
procedures, if any, as may be adopted by the Committee to an organization described in Sections
501(c)(3) and 2055(a) of the Code (or such other similar charitable organization as may be approved
by the Committee) (a “Charitable Beneficiary”), by the Charitable Beneficiary, in either case in
accordance with the procedures described in Paragraph 5(a) as soon as practicable after the date of
death and after such documentation as may be requested by the Committee is provided to the
Committee and shall, unless earlier terminated or cancelled in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, remain exercisable until the Expiration Date and shall thereafter terminate.

          (c) Other Terminations. Upon your separation from the Board of Directors of GS Inc.
for any reason, your Outstanding and unexercised Options shall remain exercisable until the
Expiration Date, and shall thereafter terminate.

 

 

          6. Delivery. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, or as otherwise provided
in this Award Agreement, and except as provided in Paragraph 8, upon receipt of payment of the
Exercise Price for Shares subject to one or more Options, delivery of the appropriate number of
Shares shall be effected by book-entry credit to the Custody Account or to a brokerage account, as
approved or required by the Firm. No delivery of Shares shall be made unless you have timely
established the Custody Account or a brokerage account, as approved or required by the Firm. You
shall be the beneficial owner of any Shares properly credited to the Custody Account or delivered
to a brokerage account, as approved or required by the Firm. You shall have no right to any
dividend or distribution with respect to such Shares if the record date for such dividend or
distribution is prior to the date the Custody Account or brokerage account, as approved or required
by the Firm, is properly credited with such Shares. The Firm may deliver cash or other property in
lieu of all or any portion of the Shares otherwise deliverable in accordance with this Paragraph 6.

          7. Conflicted Employment. If you accept employment at any U.S. Federal, state or
local government, any non-U.S. government, any supranational or international organization, any
self-regulatory organization or any agency, or instrumentality of any such government or
organization, or any other employer determined by the Committee, and as a result of such
employment, your continued holding of your Options would result in an actual or perceived conflict
of interest (“Conflicted Employment”) then, at the sole discretion of the Firm: (a) such
Outstanding Options shall be cancelled and as soon as practicable after the Committee has received
satisfactory documentation relating to your Conflicted Employment (the “Release Date”) you shall
receive a payment equal to the excess (if any) of (x) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
Business Day immediately prior to the Release Date multiplied by the number of your Options that
were Outstanding immediately prior to such cancellation over (y) the Exercise Price multiplied by
the number of such Options; (b) the Initial Exercise Date with respect to your Outstanding Options
shall become the Release Date; or (c) if and to the extent provided in any procedures adopted by
the Committee, you may be permitted to transfer your Outstanding Options for value to a party or
parties acceptable to the Firm (which may include the Firm). Notwithstanding anything else herein,
the actions described in this Paragraph 7 shall be permitted only at such time and if and to the
extent as would not result in the imposition of any additional tax to you under Section 409A of the
Code (which governs taxation of certain deferred compensation).

          8. Non-transferability. Except as otherwise may be provided in this Paragraph or as
otherwise may be provided by the Committee, and without limiting any permitted transfer in
accordance with Paragraph 7, the limitations set forth in Section 3.5 of the Plan shall apply with
respect to the Options. Any purported transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions of
this Paragraph 8 or Section 3.5 of the Plan shall be void. The Committee may adopt procedures
pursuant to which you may transfer some or all of your Options through a gift for no consideration
to any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, niece,
nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law,
including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the recipient’s household (other than a tenant
or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, and any
other entity in which these persons (or the recipient) own more than 50% of the voting interests.

 

 

          9. Withholding, Consents and Legends.

          (a) The delivery of Shares upon exercise of your Outstanding Options is conditioned on your
satisfaction of any applicable withholding taxes (in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Plan,
provided that the Committee may determine not to apply the minimum withholding rate specified in
Section 3.2.2 of the Plan).

          (b) Your rights in respect of the Options are conditioned on the receipt to the full
satisfaction of the Committee of any required consents (as described in Section 3.3 of the Plan)
that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable, and by accepting this Award you
shall be deemed to consent and agree to the items specified in Section 3.3.3(d) of the Plan.

          (c) GS Inc. may affix to Certificates representing Shares issued pursuant to this Award
Agreement any legend that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable (including to
reflect any restrictions to which you may be subject under a separate agreement with GS Inc.). GS
Inc. may advise the transfer agent to place a stop order against any legended Shares.

          10. Successors and Assigns of GS Inc. The terms and conditions of this Award
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of GS Inc. and its successors and
assigns.

          11. Committee Discretion. The Committee shall have full discretion with respect to
any actions to be taken or determinations to be made in connection with this Award Agreement, and
its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive in accordance with Section 1.3 of the
Plan.

          12. Amendment. The Committee reserves the right at any time to amend the terms and
conditions set forth in this Award Agreement in any respect in accordance with Section 1.3 of the
Plan, and the Board may amend the Plan in any respect in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Plan.

          13. Governing Law. THIS AWARD SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.

          14. Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to be exempt from the provisions
of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”). Notwithstanding anything else herein or in the Plan,
no action described herein, including without limitation Paragraphs 6 and 7, or in the Plan shall
be permitted if the Firm determines such action would result in the imposition of additional tax
under Section 409A.

          15. Headings. The headings in this Award Agreement are for the purpose of convenience
only and are not intended to define or limit the construction of the provisions hereof.

 

 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, GS Inc. has caused this Award Agreement to be duly executed and delivered
as of the Date of Grant.

Exhibit 10.35

THE GOLDMAN SACHS

AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

OUTSIDE DIRECTOR          RSU AWARD

          This Award Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of an Award of RSUs granted to
you under The Goldman Sachs Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as of the Date
of Grant.

          1. The Plan. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are
incorporated in this Award Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement which are not
defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan. In light
of the U.S. tax rules relating to deferred compensation in Section 409A of the Code, to the extent
that you are a United States taxpayer, certain provisions of this Award Agreement and of the Plan
shall apply only as provided in Paragraph 11.

          2. Award. The number of RSUs subject to this Award is set forth in the Award
Statement delivered to you. Each RSU constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of GS Inc. to
deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms and conditions of this Award
Agreement, a share of Common Stock (a “Share”) (or cash or other property equal to the Fair Market
Value thereof) on the Delivery Date as provided herein. Until such delivery, you have only the
rights of a general unsecured creditor and no rights as a shareholder of GS Inc. This Award is
subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement.

          3. Delivery.

          (a) In General. Except as provided below in this Paragraph 3 and subject to
Paragraphs 6, 7 and 11, the Delivery Date shall be on the first Business Day in the third quarter
of the Firm’s fiscal year that occurs within a Window Period in the year following the year in
which you cease to be a director of the GS Inc. Board. The Firm may deliver cash or other property
in lieu of all or any portion of the Shares otherwise deliverable on the Delivery Date. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, or as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, delivery
of Shares shall be effected by book-entry credit to the Custody Account or to a brokerage account,
as approved or required by the Firm. No delivery of Shares shall be made unless you have timely
established the Custody Account or a brokerage account, as approved or required by the Firm. You
shall be the beneficial owner of any Shares properly credited to the Custody Account or delivered
to a brokerage account, as approved or required by the Firm. You shall have no right to any
dividend or distribution with respect to such Shares if the record date for such dividend or
distribution is prior to the date the Custody Account or brokerage account, as approved or required
by the Firm, is properly credited with such Shares.

          (b) Death. Notwithstanding any other Paragraph of this Award Agreement (except
Paragraph 11), if you die prior to the Delivery Date, the Shares (or cash or other property

 

 

in lieu of all or any portion thereof) corresponding to your Outstanding RSUs shall be delivered to
the representative of your estate as soon as practicable after the date of death and after such
documentation as may be requested by the Committee is provided to the Committee. The Committee may
adopt procedures pursuant to which you may be permitted to specifically bequeath some or all of
your Outstanding RSUs under your will to an organization described in Sections 501(c)(3) and
2055(a) of the Code (or such other similar charitable organization as may be approved by the
Committee).

          4. Dividend Equivalent Rights. Prior to the delivery of Shares (or cash or other
property in lieu thereof) pursuant to this Award Agreement, at or after the time of distribution of
any regular cash dividend paid by GS Inc. in respect of the Common Stock, you shall be entitled to
receive an amount in cash or other property equal to such regular cash dividend payment as would
have been made in respect of the Shares not yet delivered, as if the Shares had been actually
delivered.

          5. Non-transferability. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Paragraph or as
otherwise may be provided by the Committee, the limitations set forth in Section 3.5 of the Plan
shall apply to this Award. Any purported transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions of
this Paragraph 5 or Section 3.5 of the Plan shall be void. The Committee may adopt procedures
pursuant to which you may transfer some or all of your RSUs through a gift for no consideration to
any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, niece, nephew,
mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law,
including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the recipient’s household (other than a tenant
or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, and any
other entity in which these persons (or the recipient) own more than 50% of the voting interests.

          6. Conflicted Employment. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the
contrary, if you accept employment at any U.S. Federal, state or local government, any non-U.S.
government, any supranational or international organization, any self-regulatory organization or
any agency, or instrumentality of any such government or organization, or any other employer
determined by the Committee, and as a result of such employment, your continued holding of your
Outstanding RSUs would result in an actual or perceived conflict of interest (“Conflicted
Employment”), then you shall receive, at the sole discretion of the Firm, either a lump sum cash
payment in respect of, or delivery of Shares underlying, your then Outstanding RSUs, in each case
as soon as practicable after the Committee has received satisfactory documentation relating to your
Conflicted Employment.

          7. Withholding, Consents and Legends.

          (a) The delivery of Shares is conditioned on your satisfaction of any applicable withholding
taxes in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Plan, provided that the Committee may determine not to
apply the minimum withholding rate specified in Section 3.2.2 of the Plan.

          (b) Your rights in respect of the RSUs are conditioned on the receipt to the full satisfaction
of the Committee of any required consents (as described in Section 3.3 of the

-2-

 

Plan) that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable, and, by accepting this Award,
you agree to the matters described in Section 3.3.3(d) of the Plan.

          (c) GS Inc. may affix to Certificates representing Shares issued pursuant to this Award
Agreement any legend that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable. GS Inc. may
advise the transfer agent to place a stop order against any legended Shares.

          8. Successors and Assigns of GS Inc. The terms and conditions of this Award Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of GS Inc. and its successors and assigns.

          9. Amendment. The Committee reserves the right at any time to amend the terms and
conditions set forth in this Award Agreement in any respect in accordance with Section 1.3 of the
Plan, and the Board may amend the Plan in any respect in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and Sections 1.3.2(f), 1.3.2(h) and 3.1 of the Plan, no such
amendment shall materially adversely affect your rights and obligations under this Award Agreement
without your consent (or the consent of your estate, if such consent is obtained after your death),
except that the Committee reserves the right to accelerate the delivery of the Shares and in its
discretion provide that such Shares may not be transferable until the Delivery Date. Any amendment
of this Award Agreement shall be in writing signed by an authorized member of the Board or any
other person or persons authorized by the Board.

          10. Governing Law. THIS AWARD SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.

          11. Compliance of Award Agreement and Plan with Section 409A. The provisions of this
Paragraph 11 apply to you only if you are a United States taxpayer.

          (a) References in this Award Agreement to “Section 409A” refer to Section 409A of the Code,
including any amendments or successor provisions to that Section and any regulations and other
administrative guidance thereunder, in each case as they, from time to time, may be amended or
interpreted through further administrative guidance. This Award Agreement and the Plan provisions
that apply to this Award are intended and shall be construed to comply with Section 409A (including
the requirements applicable to, or the conditions for exemption from treatment as, a “deferral of
compensation” or “deferred compensation” as those terms are defined in the regulations under
Section 409A (“409A deferred compensation”), whether by reason of short-term deferral treatment or
other exceptions or provisions). The Committee shall have full authority to give effect to this
intent. To the extent necessary to give effect to this intent, in the case of any conflict or
potential inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, Sections
1.3.2 and 2.1 thereof) and this Award Agreement, the provisions of this Award Agreement shall
govern, and in the case of any conflict or potential inconsistency between this Paragraph 11 and
the other provisions of this Award Agreement, this Paragraph 11 shall govern.

          (b) Delivery of Shares shall not be delayed beyond the date on which all applicable conditions
or restrictions on delivery of Shares in respect of your RSUs required by

-3-

 

this Agreement (including, without limitation, those specified in Paragraphs 7(a) and (b), and the
consents and other items specified in Section 3.3 of the Plan) are satisfied, and shall occur by
December 31 of the calendar year in which the Delivery Date occurs unless, in order to permit such
conditions or restrictions to be satisfied, the Committee elects, pursuant to Treasury Regulations
section (“Reg.”) 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(D) or otherwise as may be permitted in accordance with Section
409A, to delay delivery of Shares to a later date as may be permitted under Section 409A,
including, without limitation, Regs. 1.409A-2(b)(7) (in conjunction with Section 3.21.3 of the Plan
pertaining to Code Section 162(m)) and 1.409A-3(d).

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3(a) and Section 1.3.2(i) of the Plan, to the
extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, any securities, other Awards or other property that
the Firm may deliver in respect of your RSUs shall not have the effect of deferring delivery or
payment, income inclusion, or a substantial risk of forfeiture, beyond the date on which such
delivery, payment or inclusion would occur or such risk of forfeiture would lapse, with respect to
the Shares that would otherwise have been deliverable (unless the Committee elects a later date for
this purpose pursuant to Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(D) or otherwise as may be permitted under Section
409A, including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, the subsequent election
provisions of Section 409A(a)(4)(C) of the Code and Reg. 1.409A-2(b)).

          (d) Notwithstanding the timing provisions of Paragraph 3(b), the delivery of Shares referred
to therein shall be made after the date of death and during the calendar year that includes the
date of death (or on such later date as may be permitted under Section 409A).

          (e) Notwithstanding any provision of Paragraph 4 or Section 2.8.2 of the Plan to the contrary,
the Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to each of your Outstanding RSUs shall be paid to you
within the calendar year that includes the date of distribution of any corresponding regular cash
dividends paid by GS Inc. in respect of a Share the record date for which occurs on or after the
Date of Grant. The payment shall be in an amount (less applicable withholding) equal to such
regular dividend payment as would have been made in respect of the Shares underlying such
Outstanding RSUs.

          (f) The timing of delivery or payment referred to in Paragraph 6 shall be the earlier of (i)
the Delivery Date or (ii) within the calendar year in which the Committee receives satisfactory
documentation relating to your Conflicted Employment, provided that such delivery or payment shall
be made only at such time as, and if and to the extent that it, as reasonably determined by the
Firm, would not result in the imposition of any additional tax to you under Section 409A.

          (g) Section 3.4 of the Plan shall not apply to Awards that are 409A deferred compensation.

          (h) Delivery of Shares in respect of this Award may be made, if and to the extent elected by
the Committee, later than the Delivery Date or other date or period specified hereinabove (but, in
the case of any Award that constitutes 409A deferred compensation, only to the extent that the
later delivery is permitted under Section 409A).
