Policy on Reporting of Concerns
                           Regarding Accounting and Other Matters

Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy on reporting of concerns regarding accounting and
other matters. This policy is designed to provide a channel of communication for employees and
others who have concerns about the conduct of Goldman Sachs or any of its people, including
with respect to the firm's accounting controls or auditing matters.

Such concerns may be communicated, in a confidential or anonymous manner, to (i) Sheldon
Raab of the law firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, who has been the firm's
designated external contact with respect to legal, ethical and firm policy issues since 1993, or (ii)
the firms reporting hotline, which will refer the matter to Mr. Raab. Mr. Raab will communicate
concerns regarding accounting, internal accounting controls and other auditing matters
(including confidential, anonymous submissions by the people of Goldman Sachs) to the Board's
Audit Committee. Mr. Raab will communicate other concerns, depending on the nature of the
matter, to the firm's non-management directors or to appropriate personnel within the firm. Such
non-accounting concerns expressed by the people of Goldman Sachs will be communicated in
accordance with the firms policies and procedures. The firm strictly prohibits any retaliation for
reporting a possible violation of law, ethics or firm policy, no matter whom the report concerns.

Mr. Raab may be contacted at:

Sheldon Raab
Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP
One New York Plaza
New York, NY 10004
