EXECUTION COPY August 24, 2005 Mr. Robert B. Willumstad 399 Park Avenue New York, NY 10022 Dear Bob: This Letter Agreement, together with the attachments hereto (collectively, the "Agreement"), reflects our mutual understanding with respect to your separation from employment as a result of your retirement from Citigroup Inc. (the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries and their affiliates, "Citigroup") and sets forth the payments and benefits that you will be eligible to receive under this Agreement. 1. RESIGNATIONS AND TERMINATION DATE. You have advised us that you will resign from the Board of Directors of the Company, and from your position as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective as of August 31, 2005 (the "Termination Date"). Effective with such resignation, you will no longer be a member of any board or internal management committee of the Company or Citigroup and you will have no authority to take any action on behalf of or otherwise bind the Company or Citigroup. 2. PAYMENTS THROUGH THE TERMINATION DATE. Until the close of business on the Termination Date, you will continue to receive (a) salary payments at your current annual base salary rate of $1,000,000 (less applicable withholdings and deductions), paid in accordance with the Company's payroll practices in the ordinary course and (b) the benefits commensurate with the level and type of benefits you currently receive. Your participation in the Citigroup Senior Officer Security Program will end at, and you will continue to be covered by the Stock Ownership Commitment, the Loan Policy, and the Personal Trading Policy until, the close of business on the Termination Date. 3. POST-TERMINATION HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS. Following the Termination Date, you will be eligible for applicable medical and other benefits pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans and any changes thereto, and additional information concerning such benefits will be provided to you under separate cover. Robert B. Willumstad EXECUTION COPY August 24, 2005 Page 2 of 13 4. OTHER PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS. If after the Termination Date you sign the General Release in the form attached hereto as Attachment A ("General Release") and it becomes effective, you will receive the following payments and benefits, subject to the conditions and restrictions and in the manner and time frames described in this paragraph 4. You acknowledge and agree that certain of the payments and benefits described herein differ from and are in excess of the total payments and benefits you would otherwise be eligible to receive upon retirement, absent this Agreement. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Citicorp 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, the Citigroup 1999 Stock Incentive Plan or your stock option award agreements to the contrary, all unvested, outstanding employee stock options granted to you from the Company will vest in full as of the Termination Date, and provided you comply with the provisions of paragraph 9 below, your vested options will remain exercisable for a period of two (2) years following the Termination Date, but in any event no later than the original expiration date of the option. Any sale restriction on incremental shares distributed to you in connection with your exercise of employee stock options will no longer apply following the Termination Date. (b) The restricted and deferred stock awards granted to you from the Company under the Capital Accumulation Program ("CAP") on February 12, 2003, January 20, 2004 and January 18, 2005 including basic and premium shares, will fully vest and be delivered to you within ten (10) days following the Effective Date of the General Release. (c) Forty percent (40%) of the restricted stock award granted to you from the Company on July 15, 2003 will fully vest and be delivered to you within ten (10) days following the Effective Date of the General Release. (d) You will receive a pro-rata incentive award for the 2005 compensation year in the form of a cash payment (less applicable withholdings and deductions) in a gross amount equal to seven-twelfths (7/12) of the pre-tax nominal value of the award package you would have otherwise received in early 2006 had you not separated from the Company (the "Incentive Award"). The amount of the Incentive Award will be based on the 2005 year-end financial results for Citigroup, and will be calculated in the same manner and using the same methodology that applied to your incentive awards for the years 2003 and 2004, disregarding for this purpose the fact that you retired from the Company prior to the end of the fiscal year and received certain payments under this Agreement. The Incentive Award will not be subject to CAP and will be paid on the date in early 2006 that incentive awards are paid to the other senior executives of Citigroup. Robert B. Willumstad EXECUTION COPY August 24, 2005 Page 3 of 13 5. POST-TERMINATION SERVICES. (a) You may continue to participate in the Financial Planning Program available to Management Committee members, and the Company will provide you with an office in midtown Manhattan, administrative support, and a car and driver, in each case, until the earlier of (i) February 28, 2006 or the (ii) the date you commence employment with another employer. If you have not commenced employment with another employer on or before February 15, 2006, the Company will make a payment to you on or before February 28, 2006 in an amount equal to the cost of providing the above described services for a period of six (6) months and will allow you to continue to use such services for an additional period of up to six (6) months, beginning on March 1, 2006 and ending on August 31, 2006, provided that you have not commenced employment with another employer during such additional six (6) month period and you reimburse the Company on a monthly basis for such services. The cost of providing these services and the aggregate amount of the reimbursement shall be equal, and shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. (b) Your 2005 and 2006 W-2 income will reflect all taxable income arising from Company-provided services, including without limitation your participation in the Financial Planning Program, and the personal use of Citigroup-provided transportation, office space and administrative support to the extent required by applicable law and as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. (c) To the extent that any or all of such post-termination services described in this paragraph 5 are subject to federal, state or local income taxes ("Taxes"), Citigroup will make an additional payment ("Gross-up") to you or on your behalf to the appropriate tax authority, as determined by the Company, such that the Taxes associated with the income relating to these services and the Taxes associated with the Gross-up payment do not give rise to an out-of-pocket tax cost to you. 6. PENSION AND 401(K) PLANS. The Company acknowledges that your account balances under the Company's qualified and non-qualified pension plans in which you are a participant, including the Citigroup Pension Plan, the Primerica Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, the Travelers Group Inc. Retirement Benefit Equalization Plan and 401(k) plan are already 100% vested and shall remain unaffected by this Agreement. Additional information concerning your pension and 401(k) plan benefits will be provided to you under separate cover. 7. GREENWICH STREET CAPITAL PARTNERS. Your participation in the Greenwich Street Capital Partners Fund is governed by the terms of the private placement memorandum and the partnership agreement for the fund. Robert B.

You agree that should any administrative agency or third party pursue any claims on your behalf, you waive your right to any monetary or other recovery of any kind. 11. NON-DISPARAGEMENT. You agree not to disparage or denigrate Citigroup or the Releasees orally or in writing. The Company agrees not to disparage or denigrate you or your agents, assignees, attorneys, heirs, executors and administrators orally or in writing, and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause its directors and executive officers not to disparage or denigrate you or your agents, assignees, attorneys, heirs, executors and administrators. 12. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. You agree to return all Citigroup property in your possession, custody or control.

You agree that you have an ongoing obligation not to disclose or use, Robert B. Willumstad EXECUTION COPY August 24, 2005 Page 6 of 13 either directly or indirectly, any such Proprietary Information for any reason unless required by a statute, by a court of law, by any governmental agency or self-regulatory organization having supervisory authority over Citigroup business, or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order you to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. Prior to any disclosure, however, you shall give notice to the Company's General Counsel, 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, of any such request or demand for Proprietary Information immediately upon your receipt of same and shall reasonably cooperate with Citigroup in any application it may make seeking a protective order barring disclosure of such Proprietary Information. 13. CONFIDENTIALITY. (a) You represent that you have kept, and you agree that you will keep, the existence and terms of this Agreement that have not otherwise been publicly disclosed by the Company and any discussions with an authorized representative of the Company that relate to it strictly confidential. You also agree that neither you nor anyone acting on your behalf will disclose such information, directly or indirectly to any third party, unless and until this Agreement has been publicly disclosed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing you may disclose the terms of this Agreement to, as applicable, your spouse, attorney and financial advisor provided that you first secure their agreement to keep the terms of this Agreement strictly confidential in accordance with the terms of this paragraph 13. In addition, you may disclose the terms of this Agreement if necessary in any action to enforce this Agreement or as otherwise required by law, provided however that you promptly give notice to the Company's General Counsel of any attempts to compel disclosure.

(a) 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 or you as provided herein or otherwise, you and the Company acknowledge and agree that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of any covenant contained in paragraph 9 above 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 you from committing or continuing to commit such breach. (b) 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 paragraph 9 of this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against you, then the provisions of paragraph 9 of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and to such other maximum extent as such court may determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any such court finds that any restriction contained in paragraph 9 of this Agreement 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. 16. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. Except with respect to the attached General Release, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall have no effect upon, and shall not impair the validity or enforceability of, any other provision of this Agreement. 17. COMPLIANCE WITH THE AMERICAN JOBS CREATION ACT. The parties agree that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Code").
