("Goldman Sachs") joined in a global settlement resolving the SEC investigation as well as a related qui tam lawsuit purportedly brought on behalf of the United States entitled United States ex rel. Lissack v. Goldman, Sachs & Co., et al., 95 Civ. 1363 (S.D.N.Y.)(BSJ). Pursuant to the settlement, without admitting or denying the findings, Goldman Sachs consented to the issuance of an SEC administrative order (SEA Rel. No. 42640) which, among other things, found that Goldman Sachs had violated Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such pricing of government securities, required Goldman Sachs to cease and desist from violating such provisions, and ordered Goldman Sachs to make payments totaling approximately $5.1 Million to the U.S. Treasury and $104,000 to two municipalities. Under the global settlement, the qui tam lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, and the Internal Revenue Service agreed not to challenge the tax-free nature of the refundings by virtue of the pricing of such securities. In November 2002, the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") alleged that five broker dealers, including Goldman Sachs, violated Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-4 hereunder, NYSE Rules 440 and 342 and NASD Rules 3010 and 3110 by allegedly failing to preserve electronic mail communications for three years and/or to preserve electronic mail communications for the first two years in an accessible place, and by allegedly having inadequate supervisory systems and procedures in relation to the retention of electronic mail communications. Without admitting or denying the allegations, the five broker dealers, including Goldman Sachs, consented to censure by the SEC, NASD and NYSE and to the imposition of a cease-and-desist order by the SEC and Goldman Sachs paid a total fine of $1,650,000 ($550,000 each to the SEC, NASD and NYSE). Goldman Sachs also undertook to review its procedures regarding the preservation of electronic mail communications for compliance with the federal securities laws and regulations and the rules of the NASD and NYSE, and to confirm within a specified period of time that it has established systems and procedures reasonably designed to achieve compliance with those laws, regulations and rules. --------------------- --------------------- CUSIP NO. 37183F-10-7 PAGE 10 OF 11 PAGES --------------------- --------------------- EXHIBIT (99.10) POWER OF ATTORNEY KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS that GOLDMAN, SACHS & CO.(the "Company") does hereby make, constitute and appoint each of Roger S.
