Item 25. Indemnification
Article IV of the Declaration of Trust of Goldman Sachs Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, provides for indemnification of the Trustees, officers and agents of the Trust, subject to certain limitations. The Declaration of Trust is incorporated by reference to Exhibit (a)(1).
The Management Agreement with each of the Funds (other than the ILA Portfolios) provides that the applicable Investment Adviser will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by a Fund, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Investment Adviser or from reckless disregard by the Investment Adviser of its obligations or duties under the Management Agreement. Section 7 of the Management Agreement with respect to the ILA Portfolios provides that the ILA Portfolios will indemnify the Adviser against certain liabilities; provided, however, that such

indemnification does not apply to any loss by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence or the Adviser’s reckless disregard of its obligation under the Management Agreement. The Management Agreements are incorporated by reference to Exhibits (d)(1) through (d)(7).
Section 9 of the Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Goldman Sachs dated April 30, 1997, as amended October 30, 2003 and Section 7 of the Transfer Agency Agreements between the Registrant and Goldman, Sachs & Co. dated July 15, 1991, May 1, 1988, April 30, 1997 and April 6, 1990 each provide that the Registrant will indemnify Goldman, Sachs & Co. against certain liabilities. A copy of the Distribution Agreement is included herewith as Exhibit (e)(1). The Transfer Agency Agreements are incorporated by reference as Exhibits (h)(3), (h)(4), (h)(5) and (h)(6), respectively, to the Registrant’s Registration Statement.
Mutual fund and Trustees and officers liability policies purchased jointly by the Registrant, Trust for Credit Unions, Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust and The Commerce Funds insure such persons and their respective trustees, partners, officers and employees, subject to the policies’ coverage limits and exclusions and varying deductibles, against loss resulting from claims by reason of any act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty.
