EQUITY AWARD AGREEMENT
APPENDIX
This Appendix constitutes part of the Equity Award Agreement (the "Agreement") and is applicable to the [EQUITY AWARD PROGRAM NAME] award(s) summarized on the first page of this Agreement. This Appendix is part of the Agreement and sets forth the terms and conditions and other information applicable to the restricted or deferred stock award, and/or non-qualified stock option grant (an "Option"), made to Participant under the Program, as described in the Award Summary on page 1. Restricted or deferred stock awards and Option grants are hereinafter referred to as "Awards". All Awards are denominated in shares of Citigroup common stock, par value $.01 per share (referred to herein as "shares" or "Citigroup stock"). The "Company", for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean Citigroup and its subsidiaries that participate in the Program, except where provided otherwise herein.
1. Terms and Conditions. The terms, conditions, and restrictions of the Award are set forth below [IF APPLICABLE:, subject to the letter agreement between the Company and Participant dated [MONTH] [DAY], [YEAR] (the "Letter Agreement")]. Certain of these provisions [IF APPLICABLE:, except as they are deemed modified by the terms of the Letter Agreement], along with other important information, are summarized in the [EQUITY PROGRAM NAME] prospectus dated [MONTH] [DAY], [YEAR], and any applicable prospectus supplement (together, the "Prospectus"). The terms, conditions, and restrictions of the Award include, but are not limited to, provisions relating to amendment, vesting, and cancellation of Awards, restrictions on the transfer of Awards, and sale restrictions on shares acquired upon the exercise of an Option.
By accepting an Award, Participant acknowledges that he or she has read and understands the Prospectus and the terms and conditions set forth in this Appendix. Participant understands that this Award and all other incentive awards are entirely discretionary and that no right to receive the Award, or any incentive award, exists absent a prior written agreement to the contrary.
Participant understands that the value that may be realized from an Award, if any, is contingent and depends on the future market price of Citigroup stock, among other factors, and that because equity awards are discretionary, and intended to promote employee retention and stock ownership and to align employees' interests with those of stockholders, equity awards are subject to vesting conditions and will be canceled if vesting conditions are not satisfied.
Any monetary value assigned to an Award in any communication regarding the Award is contingent, hypothetical, and for illustrative purposes only and does not express or imply any promise or intent by the Company to deliver, directly or indirectly, any certain or determinable cash value to Participant. Receipt of an Award covered by this Agreement, or any other incentive award, is neither an indication nor a guarantee that an incentive award of any type or amount will be made in the future, and absent a written agreement to the contrary, the Company is free to change its practices and policies regarding incentive awards at any time in its sole discretion.
Any actual, anticipated, or estimated financial benefit to Participant from an Award is not and shall not be deemed to be a normal or an integral part of Participant's regular or expected salary or compensation from employment for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any statutory, common law or other severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company.
2. Vesting. If conditions to vesting are satisfied, shares underlying an Award of restricted or deferred stock will be distributed to Participant on the vesting date(s) set forth in the Stock Award Summary, and Option shares shall vest and become exercisable in the installment amounts (subject to rounding, in Citigroup's discretion) on the vesting dates set forth in the Stock Option Grant Summary. Vesting in each case is subject to receipt of the information necessary to make required tax payments and confirmation by Citigroup that all conditions to vesting and distribution of the shares have been satisfied.
Vesting is conditioned on Participant's continuous employment with the Company up to and including the scheduled vesting date, unless otherwise provided below.
2
3. Exercise of Option. Vested Option shares may be exercised in whole or in part by Participant upon notice to the Company, together with provision for payment of the grant price (set forth in the Stock Option Grant Summary) and applicable withholding taxes. Such notice shall be given in the manner prescribed by Citigroup and shall specify the date and method of exercise and the number of Option shares that are being exercised. The currently available option exercise methods, which are subject to change at any time, are described in the Prospectus. All stock option exercises will be processed in accordance with the Citigroup Equity Compensation administrative procedures and deadlines then in effect. If Participant uses a broker-assisted exercise method that may be available from time to time, Participant acknowledges and agrees that option proceeds from any broker-assisted exercises will be net of applicable commissions and fees associated with these transactions. The applicable commissions and fees will be disclosed to Participant at or prior to the time of exercise or will be available to Participant upon request. The laws of the country in which Participant is working at the time of grant, vesting, and/or exercise of the Option (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax or labor matters), and Citigroup accounting or other policies, whether dictated by such country's political or regulatory climate or otherwise, may restrict or prohibit any one or more of the stock option exercise methods described in the Prospectus; such restrictions may apply differently if Participant is a resident or expatriate employee, and are subject to change at any time. If the last day on which an Option may be exercised pursuant to any provision of this Agreement is not a trading day on the New York Stock Exchange, then the immediately preceding New York Stock Exchange trading day shall be the last day on which an Option may be exercised. An Option may not be exercised after the Option Expiration Date set forth in the Stock Option Grant Summary (the "Option expiration date").The Company is not obligated to notify a Participant that an Option is nearing expiration.
4. Sale Restriction on Option Shares. Except in the case of Participant's termination of employment pursuant to Section 5[(b) and (e)] [(b), (e), (j), (k) or (l)], Participant acknowledges that shares acquired upon an Option exercise during the term of Participant's employment may not be sold or otherwise transferred until two years from the date of exercise.
5. Termination and Interruption of Employment. Participation in the Program, including but not limited to Participant's right to vest in an Award or exercise an Option, is conditioned upon Participant's continuous employment with the Company, except as otherwise provided below.
For all purposes related to an Award, Participant's employment shall be deemed terminated as of the last day of active service with the Company, regardless of any entitlement to notice, payment in lieu of notice, severance pay, termination pay, pension payment, or the equivalent that may be provided by any other plan, contract, or law.
If Participant's continuous employment with the Company terminates or is interrupted for any reason stated below, Participant's rights with respect to the Award, including any "Core CAP Basic Shares" and "Core CAP Premium Shares" (each as defined below), "Supplemental CAP Shares" and shares subject to an Option ("Option shares"), each as may be set forth in the Stock Award Summary and/or Stock Option Grant Summary of this Agreement, will be affected as described below. With respect to any provision herein that provides for the distribution of shares upon the termination of Participant's employment, such distribution may be delayed for a period of six months, if Citigroup determines that Participant is among the Company's top 50 most highly compensated employees. Interest will not accrue during the period of delay and there will not be any compensation for loss in market value or otherwise. [INCLUDE SUB-SECTIONS (a)—(r) AS APPLICABLE]:
(a) Voluntary Resignation. If Participant voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Company, vesting of restricted stock awards, deferred stock awards and Option shares will cease, as will the right to exercise any vested Option shares, on the date Participant's employment is so terminated; all unvested shares and unexercised Option shares subject to the Award will be canceled and Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to the Award. Different treatment may apply to Option shares if Participant is subject to a garden leave or other notice policy.
3
(b) Disability.
(i) A restricted or deferred stock award will continue to vest during the first 12 months of Participant's approved disability leave pursuant to a Company disability policy. If Participant has remained on an approved disability leave for 12 months pursuant to a Company disability policy, any unvested portion of the Award will vest and shares of Citigroup stock will be delivered to Participant. The provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall not apply to a deferred stock award if prior to the commencement or during the period of any disability leave referred to above, Participant meets the conditions of Section 5(j), (k) or (l) below.
[(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant with a deferred stock award provides proof satisfactory to the Company that Participant has been determined by the United States Social Security Administration to be totally disabled, any unvested portion of a deferred stock award will vest and shares of Citigroup stock will be delivered to Participant.]
[(iii) An Option will continue to vest on schedule and may be exercised during the first 12 months of Participant's approved disability leave (but not later than the Option expiration date). If Participant has remained on an approved disability leave for 12 months, any unvested Option shares will vest immediately, and the Option may be exercised for up to two years thereafter (but not later than the Option expiration date); the two year sale restriction imposed on Option shares will cease to apply and will not be imposed on any shares that may be acquired from a future exercise of the Option.]
[(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if before the end of a 12-month period of disability leave (or determination of total disability by the United States Social Security Administration) Participant's employment is terminated for any of the reasons described in Sections 5(a), (e), (f), (h) or (i), such applicable provisions shall apply instead of the provisions of this Section 5(b).]
(c) Approved Personal Leave of Absence (Non-Statutory Leave).
(i) A restricted or deferred stock award will continue to vest on schedule during the first six months of Participant's personal leave of absence, provided that Participant's leave of absence was approved by management of Participant's business unit in accordance with the leave of absence policies applicable to Participant (an "approved personal leave of absence"). Any unvested restricted or deferred stock will be canceled as soon as the approved personal leave of absence has exceeded six months.
(ii) An Option will continue to vest on schedule during the first six months of an approved personal leave of absence. Vested Option shares may be exercised during the first six months of an approved personal leave of absence (but not later than the Option expiration date). All unexercised Option shares will be canceled as soon as the approved personal leave of absence has exceeded six months.
(iii) If Participant terminates employment for any reason during the first six months of an approved personal leave of absence[, or if on or prior to such time Participant satisfies the conditions of Section 5(j), (k) or (l)], then such applicable provisions of this Section 5 will apply. [For purposes of Section 5(j), (k) and (l), Participant's employment will be deemed to have terminated as of the date that an approved personal leave of absence exceeds six months.]
(d) Statutory Leave of Absence. The Award will continue to vest and Participant may continue to exercise vested Option shares (but not later than the Option expiration date) during a leave of absence that is approved by management of Participant's business unit, is provided by applicable law and taken in accordance with such law and applicable Company policy (a "statutory leave of absence"). If a statutory leave of absence is followed without interruption by an approved personal leave of absence, any unvested restricted or deferred stock and unexercised Option shares will be canceled as of the date that the combined leaves, if continuous, have exceeded six months. If Participant terminates employment for any reason during an approved statutory leave of absence[, or if on or prior to such time Participant
4
satisfies the conditions of Section 5(j), (k), or (l)], then such applicable provisions of this Section 5 will apply. [For purposes of Section 5(j), (k) and (l), if a statutory leave of absence is followed without interruption by an approved personal leave of absence, Participant's employment will be deemed to have terminated as of the date that the combined leaves exceed six months.]
(e) Death. If Participant's employment terminates by reason of Participant's death, (i) any unvested restricted or deferred stock will vest and shares of Citigroup common stock will be delivered to Participant's estate; (ii) any unvested Option shares will vest and vested Option shares may be exercised by Participant's estate for up to two years from the date of Participant's death (but not later than the Option expiration date); and (iii) the two-year sale restriction imposed on Option shares will cease to apply and will not be imposed on any shares that may be acquired by Participant's estate in a future exercise of the Option.
(f) Involuntary Termination for Gross Misconduct. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company terminates Participant's employment because of Participant's "gross misconduct" (as defined below), vesting of the Award, and the right to exercise vested Option shares, will cease on the date Participant's employment is so terminated; all unvested restricted or deferred stock and all unexercised Option shares will be canceled as of the termination date of Participant's employment and Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to the Award. For purposes of this Agreement, "gross misconduct" means any conduct that (i) is in competition with the Company's business operations, (ii) that breaches any obligation that Participant owes to the Company or Participant's duty of loyalty to the Company, (iii) is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, or (iv) is otherwise determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Citigroup Board of Directors (the "Committee), in its sole discretion, to constitute gross misconduct. For purposes of this Section 5(f), "Company" shall mean Citigroup and any of its subsidiaries.
(g) Transfer to Non-Participating Subsidiary.
(i) If Participant transfers to a subsidiary that is a member of the "controlled group" of Citigroup (as defined below), the Award will continue to vest on schedule and vested Option shares may continue to be exercised (but not later than the Option expiration date).
(ii) If Participant transfers to a subsidiary that is not a member of the "controlled group" of Citigroup (as defined below), [(A)] unvested [shares] ["Core CAP Basic Shares" (as defined below) and "Supplemental CAP Shares"] will vest and shares of Citigroup stock will be distributed to Participant [; (B) a prorated portion of any unvested "Core CAP Premium Shares" (as defined below) will vest and shares of Citigroup stock will be distributed to Participant (such prorated portion shall be calculated (1) by assuming that the portion of the restricted or deferred stock award scheduled to vest on each different vesting date is a separate award, and (2) for each separate award, by multiplying the number of unvested "Core CAP Premium Shares" (as defined below) that are subject to such separate award by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of days the Participant was employed by the Company during the vesting period applicable to such separate award and the denominator of which is equal to the number of days in the entire vesting period applicable to such separate award);] and [(C)] vesting of an Option will cease and vested Option shares may continue to be exercised for up to 90 days after the termination date of Participant's employment (but not later than the Option expiration date).
For purposes of this Agreement, "controlled group" has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)(3).
(h) Involuntary Termination Other than for Gross Misconduct. Except as provided in Section 5(n) below, if Participant's employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than gross misconduct [and Participant has not met the conditions specified in Section 5(j), (k) or (l)], [(i)] unvested [shares] ["Core CAP Basic Shares" (as defined below) and "Supplemental CAP Shares"] will vest and shares of Citigroup stock will be distributed to Participant [; (ii) a prorated portion of any unvested "Core CAP Premium Shares" (as defined below) will vest and shares of
5
Citigroup stock will be distributed to Participant (such prorated portion shall be calculated (A) by assuming that the portion of the restricted or deferred stock award scheduled to vest on each different vesting date is a separate award, and (B) for each separate award, by multiplying the number of unvested Core CAP Premium Shares that are subject to such separate award by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of days the Participant was employed by the Company during the vesting period applicable to such separate award and the denominator of which is equal to the number of days in the entire vesting period applicable to such separate award);] and [(iii)] vesting of an Option will cease and any vested Option shares may continue to be exercised for up to 90 days after the termination date of Participant's employment (but not later than the Option expiration date).
(i) Voluntary Resignation to Pursue Alternative Career. If [Participant has not met the conditions of Section 5(j), (k) or (l), and], with the prior written approval of the Senior Human Resources Officer for Participant's business, in his or her sole discretion, Participant voluntarily resigns from his or her employment with the Company to work in a full-time career in either government service, for a bona fide charitable institution, or as a teacher at a bona fide educational institution, (i) unvested "Core CAP Basic Shares" (as defined below) and "Supplemental CAP Shares" will vest and be distributed to Participant; and (ii) unvested "Core CAP Premium Shares" (as defined below) will be canceled and Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to such portion of the Award; and (iii) vesting of an Option will cease and all unexercised Option shares will be canceled as of the termination date of Participant's employment and Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to the Option.
(j) Satisfying the "Rule of 75." If Participant has completed a number of full years of service with the Company that, when added to his or her age, equals at least 75, (i) unvested [shares] ["Core CAP Basic Shares" and "Core CAP Premium Shares" (each as defined below) and "Supplemental CAP Shares"] will continue to vest on schedule, provided that Participant is not, at any time up to and including any vesting date, employed by a "significant competitor" of the Company (as defined in Section 5(q) below); and (ii) an Option will continue to vest on schedule and may be exercised (but not later than the Option expiration date) while Participant is employed by the Company; unvested Option shares will vest on the date Participant's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than gross misconduct and may be exercised for up to two years after the termination date of Participant's employment (but not later than the Option expiration date), provided that Participant is not, at any time up to and including any exercise date, employed by a "significant competitor" of the Company (as defined in Section 5(q) below).
(k) Satisfying the "Rule of 60." If Participant [does not satisfy the conditions of Section 5(j) above, but] (i) is at least age 50 and has completed at least five full years of service with the Company and Participant's age plus the number of full years of service with the Company equals at least 60, or (ii) Participant is under age 50, but has completed at least 20 full years of service with the Company and Participant's age plus the number of full years of service with the Company equals at least 60, then (1) unvested [shares] ["Core CAP Basic Shares" (as defined below) and "Supplemental CAP Shares"] will continue to vest on schedule, provided that Participant is not, at any time up to and including any vesting date, employed by a "significant competitor" of the Company (as defined in Section 5(q) below); [(2) unvested "Core CAP Premium Shares" (as defined below) will continue to vest on schedule, provided that Participant is not, at any time up to and including any vesting date, employed by a "significant competitor" of the Company (as defined in Section 5(q) below), and provided that if Participant is no longer employed by the Company, any unvested "Core CAP Premium Shares" will be canceled on the termination date of Participant's employment and Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to such portion of the Award;] and (3) an Option will continue to vest on schedule and may be exercised (but not later than the Option expiration date) while Participant is employed by the Company; if Participant is no longer employed by the Company, vesting of the Option will cease on the date Participant's employment is terminated and any vested Option shares may be exercised for up to two years after the termination date of Participant's employment (but not later than the Option expiration date), provided that Participant is not, at any time up to and including any exercise date, employed by a "significant competitor" of the Company (as defined in Section 5(q) below).
6
(l) Reaching Age 55 by Certain Legacy Citibank Employees. If Participant is at least age 55 and is a legacy Citibank employee who participates in (i) the grandfathered Citibank formula of the U.S. Citigroup Pension Plan or (ii) the grandfathered Citibank formula of the Head Office Guarantee (HOG) Plan, then [(1)] any unvested [shares] ["Core CAP Basic Shares" (as defined below)] will continue to vest on schedule, provided that Participant is not, at any time up to and including any vesting date, employed by a "significant competitor" of the Company (as defined in Section(q) below); [(2) any unvested [shares] ["Supplemental CAP Shares" (as defined below)] will be treated in accordance with Section 5(j) or (k), if applicable, or will be canceled if Participant is no longer employed by the Company; and [(3)] an Option will continue to vest on schedule and may be exercised (but not later than the Option expiration date) while Participant is employed by the Company. If Participant has received an Award under the Core Capital Accumulation Program and otherwise satisfies the conditions of this Section 5(l), any unvested Option shares will vest on the date Participant's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than gross misconduct and may be exercised for up to two years after the termination date of Participant's employment (but not later than the Option expiration date), provided that Participant is not, at any time up to and including any exercise date, employed by a "significant competitor" of the Company (as defined in Section 5(q) below). If Participant has received an Award under the Supplemental Capital Accumulation Program only, even if Participant has otherwise satisfied the conditions of this Section 5(l), any unvested Option shares will be treated in accordance with Section 5(j) or (k), if applicable, or will be canceled if Participant is no longer employed by the Company.
(m) Termination of Employment other than for Gross Misconduct or Transfer to Non-Participating Subsidiary, when Also Eligible under Section 5(j), (k) or (l). If Participant is terminated other than for gross misconduct or is transferred to a subsidiary described in Section 5(g)(ii) above and on the date Participant's employment is so terminated or transferred, Participant has satisfied the conditions of Section 5(j), (k) or (l) above, then the provisions of such sub-section will apply; provided, however, that continued vesting of the Award and the right to exercise vested Option shares will not be subject to the condition that Participant not be employed by a "significant competitor" of the Company (as defined in Section 5(q) below), and provided further that if Participant has satisfied the conditions of Section 5(k) but not Section 5(j) above, Participant shall also continue to vest in a pro rata portion of any "Core CAP Premium Shares" (as defined below), which portion shall be computed in accordance with Section 5(h) above.
(n) Employing Company is Acquired by Another Entity (Change in Control). If Participant is employed by a company or other legal entity that is acquired by another entity in a transaction that is described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the regulations thereunder (a "change in control"), the provisions of Section 5(h) of this Section 5 shall apply; provided, however, that if Participant has satisfied the conditions specified in Section 5(j), (k) or (l), any Option shares that vested prior to the effective date of the change in control may be exercised for two years from the effective date of the change in control (but not later then the Option expiration date). The Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of additional shares and/or Option shares, and any vesting and distribution of shares that occurs as a result of such change in control will occur on the effective date of the change in control. If any additional Option shares are vested, the Committee shall specify the time permitted to exercise such additional Option shares.
(o) Additional Conditions Applicable to Post-Employment Participation. Except as otherwise provided herein, in any instance in which, if, in the determination of the Committee, Participant engages in conduct that is in competition with the Company's business operations, breaches his or her duty of loyalty or any obligation Participant owes to the Company, or is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, while holding any shares of Citigroup common stock subject to a sale restriction, such shares may be canceled, in the sole discretion of the Committee. If any such shares are canceled pursuant to this Section 5(o), Participant will receive a cash payment (without interest) equal to the grant price of the Option under which the shares were issued (as adjusted, if applicable) multiplied by the number of shares canceled. Additionally, the Committee may cancel any unvested restricted or deferred stock if it determines that Participant has, since the termination of Participant's employment with the Company, engaged in conduct that breaches any obligation or duty of loyalty to the Company or that
7
is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of this Section 5(o), "Company" shall mean Citigroup and any of its subsidiaries.
(p) Definition of "Core CAP Basic Shares" and "Core CAP Premium Shares." "Core CAP Basic Shares" shall mean 75% (subject to rounding, in Citigroup's discretion) of the number of shares of Citigroup stock in an award of restricted or deferred stock indicated in the Core CAP Restricted (or Deferred) Stock Award Summary on page 1 of this Agreement; provided, however, in the case of a Participant who participates in (i) the grandfathered Citibank formula of the U.S. Citigroup Pension Plan or (ii) the grandfathered Citibank formula of the Head Office Guarantee (HOG) Plan, "Core CAP Basic Shares" shall mean 100% of the number of shares of Citigroup stock in an award of restricted or deferred stock indicated in the Core CAP Restricted (or Deferred) Stock Award Summary on page 1 of this Agreement. "Core CAP Premium Shares" shall mean 25% (subject to rounding, in the Company's discretion) of the number of shares of Citigroup stock in an award of restricted or deferred stock indicated in the Core CAP Restricted (or Deferred) Stock Award Summary on page 1 of this Agreement, and shall not apply to a Participant who participates in (i) the grandfathered Citibank formula of the U.S. Citigroup Pension Plan or (ii) the grandfathered Citibank formula of the Head Office Guarantee (HOG) Plan.
(q) Definition of "Significant Competitor." For purposes of this Agreement, a "significant competitor" of the Company shall mean any company or other entity designated by the Committee as such and included on a list of "significant competitors" that will be made available to Participant and which may be updated from time to time. If Participant has terminated employment with the Company, a "significant competitor" shall mean a company or other entity included on the list in effect at the time Participant's employment with the Company was terminated. For purposes of this Section 5(q), "Company" shall mean Citigroup and any of its subsidiaries.
(r) Non-Solicitation Covenant.
(i) Participant agrees that during Participant's employment with the Company (inclusive of any notice period or garden leave policy to which Participant is otherwise subject) and for twelve (12) months following any termination of Participant's employment, he or she will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly solicit or induce away from Citigroup or cause to be solicited or induced away from Citigroup any of its employees.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without limiting any remedies at law or in equity that may be available to the Company, Participant acknowledges and agrees that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of the covenant contained in this Section 5(r) would be inadequate and monetary damages would be difficult to calculate and that for any such breach or threatened breach, a court of law may award an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief, restraining Participant from committing or continuing to commit such breach.
(iii) It is expressly understood and agreed that if a final determination is made by a court of law that the time or any other restriction contained in this Section 5(r) is an unenforceable restriction against Participant, the provisions of Section 5(r) shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply to such maximum time and to such other maximum extent as such court may determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if such court finds that any restriction contained in this Section 5(r) is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
(iv) The restrictive covenant set forth in this Section 5(r) shall continue and survive any cancellation, forfeiture or payment of any amounts due under the Award.
(v) The covenant contained in this Section 5(r) is not intended to shorten, reduce or otherwise limit any non-solicitation obligation Participant may have (including but not limited the non-solicitation obligation contained in the Employment Termination Notice and Non-Solicitation Policy for the Citigroup Management Committee) pursuant to contract, collective agreement or applicable policy, local
8
law, rule or regulation ("Independent Obligation"), nor is it intended to limit or reduce any other obligation that Participant may have to the Company pursuant to an Independent Obligation.
6. Non-Transferability. Neither the Award, nor any component of the Award, may be sold, pledged, hypothecated, assigned, margined or otherwise transferred, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and no Award or interest or right therein shall be subject to the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, by judgment, lien, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy or divorce), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void, of no effect, and not binding on the Company in any way. Participant agrees that any purported transfer shall be null and void, and shall constitute a breach of this Agreement causing damage to the Company for which the remedy shall be a cancellation of the Award. During Participant's lifetime, all rights with respect to the Award shall be exercisable only by Participant, and any and all payments in respect of the Award shall be to Participant only. The Company shall be under no obligation to entertain, investigate, respect, preserve, protect or enforce any actual or purported rights or interests asserted by any creditor of Participant or any other third party in the Award, and Participant agrees to take all reasonable measures to protect the Company against any such claims being asserted in respect of Participant's Award and to reimburse the Company for any and all reasonable expenses it incurs defending against or complying with any such third-party claims if Participant could have reasonably acted to prevent such claims from being asserted against the Company.
7. Stockholder Rights. Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of Citigroup over any shares covered by an Award, except to the limited extent provided in the Prospectus for an Award of restricted stock, unless and until shares are distributed to Participant in connection with the vesting of a restricted or deferred stock award or an Option exercise. During the vesting period, Participant may receive dividend or dividend equivalent payments in respect of shares subject to a restricted or deferred stock award, to the extent provided in the Prospectus.
8. Right of Set Off. Participant agrees that the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, retain for itself funds or securities otherwise payable to Participant pursuant to this Award or any award under any equity award program administered by Citigroup to offset any amounts paid by the Company to a third party pursuant to any award, judgment, or settlement of a complaint, arbitration, or lawsuit of which Participant was the subject; to satisfy any obligation or debt that Participant owes the Company or its affiliates; or in the event any equity award is canceled pursuant to its terms. The Company may not retain such funds or securities and set off such obligations or liabilities, as described above, until such time as they would otherwise be distributable to Participant in accordance with the applicable award terms.
9. Consent to Electronic Delivery. In lieu of receiving documents in paper format, Participant hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that Citigroup may be required to deliver (including, but not limited to, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports, and all other forms or communications) in connection with the Award(s) covered by this Agreement and any other prior or future incentive award or program made or offered by Citigroup or its predecessors or successors. Electronic delivery of a document to Participant may be via a Company e-mail system or by reference to a location on a Company intranet site to which Participant has access.
10. Plan Administration. The Award described in this Agreement has been granted subject to the terms of the Plan, and the shares deliverable to Participant in connection with an Award, whether upon the exercise of an Option or vesting of a restricted or deferred stock award, will be from the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
11. Adjustments. In the event of any change in Citigroup's capital structure on account of (i) any extraordinary dividend, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or any similar equity restructuring; or (ii) any combination or exchange of equity securities, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization, divestiture or other distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends) of assets to stockholders, or any other similar event affecting Citigroup's capital structure, to the extent necessary to prevent the enlargement or diminution of the rights of Participants, the Committee shall make such appropriate equitable adjustments as may be permitted by the terms of the Plan and applicable law, to
9
the number or kind of shares subject to an Award and/or the grant price applicable to an Award. All such adjustments shall conform to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable, and with respect to Awards intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code, such adjustments or substitutions shall be made only to the extent that the Committee determines that such adjustments or substitutions may be made without causing the Company to be denied a tax deduction on account of Section 162(m) of the Code. Citigroup shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, decline to adjust any Award made to a Participant, if it determines that such adjustment would violate applicable law or result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant or the Company, and neither the Committee nor Citigroup shall be bound to compensate any Participant for any such adjustment not made, nor shall they be liable to Participant for any additional personal tax or other consequences of any adjustments that are made to an Award.
12. Taxes and Tax Residency Status. By accepting the Award, Participant agrees to pay all applicable income and/or social taxes and file all required tax returns in all jurisdictions where Participant is subject to tax and/or an income tax filing requirement. If Participant is an employee in one of Citigroup's expatriate programs, he or she agrees to pay all applicable income and/or social taxes and file all tax returns in accordance with the applicable expatriate policy. To assist Citigroup in achieving full compliance with its obligations under the laws of all relevant taxing jurisdictions, Participant agrees to keep complete and accurate records of his or her income tax residency status and the number and location of workdays outside his or her country of income tax residency from the date of an Award until the later of the vesting of an Award, the exercise of an Option, or the subsequent sale of any shares received in connection with an Award. By signing this Agreement, Participant also agrees to provide, upon request, information about his or her tax residency status to Citigroup during such period. Participant will be responsible for any income tax due, including penalties and interest, arising from any misstatement by Participant regarding such information.
13. Entire Agreement; No Right to Employment. [IF APPLICABLE: The Letter Agreement,] [T]he Prospectus and the Agreement constitute the entire understanding between the Company and Participant regarding the Award and supersede all previous written, oral, or implied understandings between the parties hereto about the subject matter hereof, including any written or electronic agreement, election form or other communication to, from or between Participant and the Company. Nothing contained herein, in the Plan, or in any Prospectus shall confer upon Participant any rights to continued employment or employment in any particular position, at any specific rate of compensation, or for any particular period of time.
14. Amendment. The Committee may in, its sole discretion, modify, amend, terminate or suspend the Award or the Program at any time, except that no termination, suspension, modification or amendment of the Award or the Program shall (i) cause the Award or the Program to become subject to, or violate, Section 409A of the Code, or (ii) except as provided in Section 15(a), adversely affect Participant's rights with respect to the Award, as determined by the Committee, without Participant's written consent.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Citigroup may modify the provisions of the Award, the Program and/or the Plan, as necessary, to conform them to the requirements of Section 409A or other changes in applicable law and (ii) any distribution of shares subject to a deferred stock award otherwise provided by the terms of this Agreement to occur upon any event that would constitute a "separation from service" (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) to a Participant who is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i)(1)) at the time of such Participant's "separation from service,"
10
shall not be made until the date which is six months from such "separation from service," or, if earlier, the date of Participant's death and during such six-month deferral period, Participant shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, dividend equivalents, or any compensation for any loss in market value or otherwise which occurs with respect to the Award during such deferral period.

In the absence of an effective arbitration policy, Participant understands and agrees that any dispute related to an Award shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, if so elected by the Company in its sole discretion.
