The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
5.65% Notes due 2019
Medium-Term Notes, Series D

     We will pay you interest on your notes at a rate of 5.65% per annum on each January 15 and July 15. The first such payment will be made on January 15, 2010.

     If requested, we will redeem the notes prior to their stated maturity date upon the death of a beneficial owner who has owned the notes for at least six months. We call this feature the survivor’s option. The survivor’s option is subject to a limit of $250,000 on the permitted principal amount exercisable by the estate of the deceased beneficial owner in any calendar year and to a limit of two percent of the principal amount of all outstanding notes offered by this pricing supplement in any calendar year. We may waive those limits in our discretion. Any notes accepted for repayment through the exercise of the survivor’s option normally will be repaid on the first interest payment date that occurs 60 or more calendar days after the date of acceptance.

     A valid redemption request requires the representative of the deceased beneficial owner to provide the information described on page PS-5 to the Trustee, together with a properly completed redemption request in the form of Appendix A to this pricing supplement. See “Additional Information About the Notes – Survivor’s Option to Request Repayment” on page PS-3 for more information.

Terms used but not defined in this pricing supplement have the meanings given them in the accompanying prospectus or accompanying prospectus supplement, unless the context requires otherwise.

     The notes are a separate series of our debt securities under our Medium-Term Notes, Series D program governed by our Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of July 16, 2008 (2008 Indenture), between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (Trustee).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE NOTES

     Book-Entry System

     We will issue the notes as a master global note registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the notes will settle in immediately available funds through DTC. You will not be permitted to withdraw the notes from DTC except in the limited situations described in the accompanying prospectus under “Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance—What Is a Global Security?— Holder’s Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated”. Investors may hold interests in a master global note through organizations that participate, directly or indirectly, in the DTC system.

     Survivor’s Option to Request Repayment

     Following the death of the beneficial owner of a note, so long as that note was owned by that beneficial owner or the estate of that beneficial owner for at least six months prior to the request, if requested by the authorized representative of the beneficial owner of that note (subject to the limitations described below), we agree to redeem any notes prior to the stated maturity unless the notes:

• have been previously redeemed or otherwise repaid, or

• have been declared due and payable before their stated maturity by reason of an event of default under the 2008 Indenture, as more fully described in the accompanying prospectus under “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer — Default, Remedies and Waiver of Default”.

     Upon the valid exercise of the option to request repayment described in the preceding paragraph (Survivor’s Option) and the proper tender of that note for repayment (subject to the limitations described below), we will redeem that note, in whole or in part (but in amounts of not less than $1,000), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the note plus any unpaid interest accrued to (but excluding) the date of repayment.

     To be valid, the Survivor’s Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the person who has:

• authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of the note, including, without limitation, the personal representative or executor of the deceased beneficial owner or the surviving joint owner with the deceased beneficial owner, under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, and

• the right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of an interest in a note and the right to receive the proceeds from the note, as well as the principal and interest payable to the holder of the note.

     The following will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of a note, and the entire principal amount of the note so held will be subject to redemption by us upon request (with the limitations described below):

• death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a note as a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety with another person, a tenant in common with the deceased holder’s spouse or a tenant in common with a person other than such deceased person’s spouse;

• death of a person who at the time of his or her death was a beneficiary of a revocable or irrevocable trust that holds a beneficial ownership interest in a note may, in the discretion of the Trustee, be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of that note, if such beneficial trust interest can be established to the satisfaction of us and the Trustee; and

PS-3

• death of a person who, at the time of his or her death, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership interests in a note regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the registered holder of that note, if entitlement to those interests can be established to the satisfaction of us and the Trustee.

     In addition, a beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist:

• in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife; and

• in custodial and trust arrangements where one person has all of the beneficial ownership interests in the applicable note at the time of his or her death.

     We have the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted by us from authorized representatives:

• of all deceased beneficial owners in any calendar year to an amount equal to 2% of the principal amount of all outstanding notes offered by this pricing supplement as of the end of the most recent calendar year (two percent aggregate limitation); and

• of any individual deceased beneficial owner of notes to $250,000 in any calendar year ($250,000 limitation).

     In addition, we will not permit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option except in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

     We may, at our option, redeem interests of any deceased beneficial owner in the notes in any calendar year in excess of the $250,000 limitation. Any optional redemption by us of this kind, to the extent it exceeds the $250,000 limitation for any deceased beneficial owner, will not be included in the computation of the two percent aggregate limitation for redemption of the notes for that or any other calendar year.

     We may also, at our option, redeem interests of deceased beneficial owners in the notes in any calendar year in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the two percent aggregate limitation. Any optional redemption by us of this kind, to the extent it exceeds the two percent aggregate limitation, will not be considered in calculating the two percent aggregate limitation for any other calendar year.

     Furthermore, any optional redemption by us with respect to a deceased beneficial owner’s interest in the notes is inapplicable with respect to any other deceased beneficial owner’s interest in the notes. In other words, we may waive any applicable limitations with respect to a deceased beneficial owner but not make the same or similar waivers with respect to other deceased beneficial owners.

     Each election to exercise the Survivor’s Option will be accepted in the order that elections are received by the Trustee, except for any note the acceptance of which would contravene either the two percent aggregate limitation or the $250,000 limitation. Upon any determination by us to redeem notes in excess of the $250,000 limitation or the two percent aggregate limitation, notes will be redeemed in the order of receipt of redemption requests by the Trustee. Each tendered note that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of either the two percent aggregate limitation or the $250,000 limitation will be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order in which all such notes were originally tendered.

     Notes accepted for repayment through the exercise of the Survivor’s Option normally will be redeemed on the first interest payment date that occurs 60 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance. For example, if the acceptance date of a note tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is May 1, 2010, and interest on that note is paid semi-annually on June 15 and

PS-4

December 15, we would normally, at our option, repay that note on the interest payment date occurring on December 15, 2010, because the June 15, 2010 interest payment date would occur less than 60 days from the date of acceptance. Any redemption request may be withdrawn by the person(s) presenting the request upon delivery of a written request for withdrawal given by the participant on behalf of the person(s) to the Trustee not less than 30 days before the redemption date. If a note tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted, the Trustee will deliver a notice by first-class mail to the participant through whom the note was tendered that states the reason that note has not been accepted for redemption.

     With respect to notes represented by a master global note (such as these notes), DTC or its nominee is the depositary and is treated as the holder of the notes and the institution that has an account with the depositary of the notes is referred to as the “participant”.

     To obtain redemption pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option for a note, the deceased beneficial owner’s authorized representative must provide the following items to the participant in DTC through which the beneficial interest in the note is held by the deceased beneficial owner:

• a written request for redemption signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner with the signature guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Institution Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States and a written instruction to notify the Trustee of the authorized representative’s desire to obtain redemption pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option;

• appropriate evidence satisfactory to us and the Trustee:

  (a) that the deceased was the beneficial owner of the note at the time of death and his or her interest in the note was owned by the deceased beneficial owner or his or her estate for at least six months prior to the request for redemption,

  (b) that the death of the beneficial owner has occurred,

  (c) of the date of death of the beneficial owner, and

  (d) that the representative has authority to act on behalf of the beneficial owner;

• if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement;

• tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that we or the Trustee reasonably require in order to establish the validity of the beneficial ownership of the note and the claimant’s entitlement to payment;

• any additional information we or the Trustee reasonably require to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor’s Option or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the redemption of the note; and

• if the interest in the note is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to us and the Trustee from the nominee attesting to the deceased’s beneficial ownership of such note.

     After the representative provides the information to the participant, the participant will then deliver each of these items to the Trustee, and to Goldman, Sachs & Co. in its capacity as administrator of the Survivor’s Option on our behalf, together with evidence satisfactory to us and the Trustee from the participant stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner. The participant will then need to

PS-5

deliver to the Trustee a request for redemption substantially in the form attached as Appendix A to this pricing supplement.

     All questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties.

     Subject to arrangements with the depositary, payment for interests in the notes to be redeemed will be made to the depositary in the aggregate principal amount specified in the redemption requests submitted to the Trustee by the depositary that are to be fulfilled in connection with the payment upon presentation of the notes to the Trustee for redemption.

     Additional redemption request forms for the exercise of the Survivor’s Option may be obtained from the Trustee at The Bank of New York Mellon at 2001 Bryan Street, 9th Floor, Dallas, TX 75201, Attention: Survivor Options Processing, telephone: (800) 254-2826, fax: (241) 468-6405.

     During any time in which the notes are not represented by a master global note and are issued in definitive form:

• all references in this section of the pricing supplement to participants and the depositary, including the depositary’s governing rules, regulations and procedures, will be deemed inapplicable;

• all determinations that the participants are required to make as described in this section will be made by us, including, without limitation, determining whether the applicable decedent is in fact the beneficial owner of the interest in the notes to be redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the representative is duly authorized to request redemption on behalf of the applicable beneficial owner; and

• all redemption requests, to be effective, must:

— be delivered by the representative to the Trustee, with a copy to us;

— if required by the Trustee and us, be in the form of the attached redemption request with appropriate changes mutually agreed to by the Trustee and us to reflect the fact that the redemption request is being executed by a representative, including provision for signature guarantees; and

— be accompanied by the note that is the subject of the redemption request or, if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement, in addition to all documents that are otherwise required to accompany a redemption request. If the record holder of the note is a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate or letter from the nominee attesting to the deceased’s ownership of a beneficial interest in the note must also be delivered.
