For information with respect to the
underlying securities held by PPLUS Trust Series
GSC-2, please refer to The Goldman Sachs Group,
Inc.'s (Commission file number 001-14965) periodic
reports, including annual reports on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on
Form 8-K, and other information on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). You
can read and copy these reports and other information
at the public reference facilities maintained by the
SEC at Room 1580, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C.
20549. You may obtain copies of this material for a
fee by writing to the SEC's Public Reference Section
of the SEC at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C.
20549. You may obtain information about the operation
of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at
1-800-SEC-0330. You can also access some of this
information electronically by means of the SEC's
website on the Internet at http://www.sec.gov, which
contains reports, proxy and information statements
and other information that the underlying securities
guarantor and the underlying securities issuer has
filed electronically with the SEC.
Although we have no reason to believe the
information concerning the underlying securities and
the junior subordinated debentures or the underlying
securities issuer and the underlying securities
guarantor contained in the underlying securities
guarantor's Exchange Act reports is not reliable,
neither the depositor nor the trustee participated in
the preparation of such documents or made any due
diligence inquiry with respect to the information
provided therein. No investigation with respect to
the underlying securities issuer and the underlying
securities guarantor (including, without limitation,
no investigation as to their financial condition or
creditworthiness) or of the underlying securities and
the junior subordinated debentures has been made. You
should obtain and evaluate the same information
concerning the underlying securities issuer and the
underlying securities guarantor as you would obtain
and evaluate if your investment were directly in the
underlying securities or in other securities issued
by the underlying securities issuer or the underlying
securities guarantor. There can be no assurance that
events affecting the underlying securities and the
junior subordinated debentures or the underlying
securities issuer and the underlying securities
guarantor have not occurred or have not yet been
publicly disclosed which would affect the accuracy or
completeness of the publicly available documents
described above.
