Current Report on Form 8-K

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement; Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement; Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities; Item 5.02 Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers; Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On January 15, 2009, Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), as part of the loss sharing program previously announced on November 24, 2008, entered into a master agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Federal Reserve”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) relating to the loss sharing by such government entities on $301 billion of Citigroup assets.  The loss sharing program will result in an estimated benefit of 150 basis points to Citigroup’s Tier 1 capital ratio.

The assets that are the subject of the loss sharing program include loans and securities backed by residential and commercial real estate, consumer loans and other assets as agreed between Citigroup and the government entities.  The loss coverage period terminates in November 2013 with respect to Citigroup’s non-residential assets and in November 2018 with respect to its residential assets.  The Master Agreement covers realized losses on the principal amount of the covered assets (e.g., charge-offs, dispositions and failure to pay principal, etc.).  Pursuant to the Master Agreement, Citigroup will assume first losses of $29 billion (as agreed on November 23, 2008), plus $1 billion in exchange for excluding benefits from hedges, plus the $9.5 billion existing loan loss reserve, for a total Citigroup first loss position of $39.5 billion. Losses above that amount will be assumed as follows:

 
·
First, the Treasury will assume 90% of losses and Citigroup will assume 10% of losses, subject to a maximum payment by the Treasury of $5 billion;

 
·
Second, the FDIC will assume 90% of losses and Citigroup will assume 10% of losses, subject to a maximum payment by the FDIC of $10 billion; and

 
·
Third, if losses exceed the amount of Citigroup’s first loss position plus approximately $16.7 billion (of which $15 billion will have been absorbed by the Treasury and the FDIC as described above), the Federal Reserve will extend a loan to Citigroup in an amount equal to the aggregate value of the remaining covered asset pool.  The portion of the loan relating to the non-residential assets in the covered asset pool will mature in November 2013 (subject to six successive one-year extensions at the option of the Federal Reserve) and the balance of the loan will mature in November 2018 (subject to a one-year extension at the option of the Federal Reserve).  Following the loan, as losses are incurred on the remaining covered asset pool, Citigroup will be required to immediately repay 10% of such losses to the Federal Reserve.  The loan is non-recourse to Citigroup, other than with respect to the repayment obligation in the preceding sentence and interest on the loan.  The loan is recourse only to the remaining covered asset pool, which is the sole collateral to secure the loan. The loan will  bear interest at the overnight index swap rate plus 300 basis points.

The assumption of losses by the Treasury and the FDIC, and the extension of the loan by the Federal Reserve, are subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties made by Citigroup in all material respects, no “event of default” (as defined in the Master Agreement) having occurred and be continuing and other customary conditions. In addition, the Master Agreement provides for guidelines for governance and asset management with respect to the covered asset pool, including reporting requirements and notice and approval rights of the US government
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
parties at certain thresholds.  If realized losses exceed $27 billion, the US government parties have the right to change the asset manager for the covered asset pool.

As consideration for the loss sharing and pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) dated January 15, 2009, Citigroup issued $4.034 billion of perpetual preferred stock to the Treasury, $3.025 billion of perpetual preferred stock to the FDIC, and a warrant to the Treasury to purchase 66,531,728 shares of common stock at a strike price of $10.61.  The Securities Purchase Agreement and the preferred stock contain substantially the same limitations on certain actions by Citigroup as those described in Citigroup’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 31, 2008.

The composition of the covered asset pool, amount of Citigroup's first loss position and fee for loss coverage are subject to final confirmation by the US government parties of, among other things, qualification of assets, expected losses and reserves.

On January 15, 2009, Citigroup filed a Certificate of Designations establishing the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of a new series of Citigroup fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series G. The Certificate of Designations amended Citigroup’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and was effective immediately upon filing.

You should refer to the documents incorporated herein by reference for a complete description of the terms of the Master Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the preferred stock and the warrant.  The Certificate of Designations for the preferred stock is being filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K, the Warrant is being filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K, the Master Agreement is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K, the Securities Purchase Agreement is being filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K, the key terms of the loss sharing program are being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K, a description of the covered assets is being filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K and a summary of the terms of the preferred stock and warrant is being filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Form 8-K.

Section 3.   Dividends.
 
(a)   Rate. Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, on each share of Designated Preferred Stock if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, but only out of assets legally available therefor, cumulative cash dividends with respect to each Dividend Period (as defined below) at a per annum rate of 8.0% on (i) the Liquidation Amount per share of Designated Preferred Stock and (ii) the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends for any prior Dividend Period on such share of Designated Preferred Stock, if any.  Such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from the date of issuance of the relevant shares of Designated Preferred Stock, shall compound on each subsequent Dividend Payment Date (i.e., no dividends shall accrue on other dividends unless and until the first Dividend Payment Date for such other dividends has passed without such other dividends having been paid on such date) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing with the first such Dividend Payment Date to occur at least 20 calendar days after the Original Issue Date.  In the event that any Dividend Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the dividend payment due on that date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day and no additional dividends will accrue as a result of that postponement. The period from and including any Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Dividend Payment Date is a “Dividend Period”, provided that the initial Dividend Period shall be the period from and including the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the next Dividend Payment Date.
 
Dividends that are payable on Designated Preferred Stock in respect of any Dividend Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of dividends payable on Designated Preferred Stock on any date prior to the end of a Dividend Period, and for the initial Dividend Period, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and actual days elapsed over a 30-day month.
 
Dividends that are payable on Designated Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will be payable to holders of record of Designated Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date or such other record date fixed by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors that is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day.
 
 
A-2

 
Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends (if any) declared and payable on Designated Preferred Stock as specified in this Section 3 (subject to the other provisions of the Certificate of Designations).
 
(b)   Priority of Dividends.  So long as any share of Designated Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or any other shares of Junior Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or Parity Stock, subject to the immediately following paragraph in the case of Parity Stock, and no Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly,  purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock on the applicable record date).  The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of shares of Common Stock or other Junior Stock in connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of business (including purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount (as defined below) pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan) and consistent with past practice, provided that any purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount shall in no event exceed the Share Dilution Amount; (ii) purchases or other acquisitions by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Corporation solely for the purpose of market-making, stabilization or customer facilitation transactions in Junior Stock or Parity Stock in the ordinary course of its business; (iii) purchases by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Corporation of capital stock of the Corporation for resale pursuant to an offering by the Corporation of such capital stock underwritten by such broker-dealer subsidiary; (iv) any dividends or distributions of rights or Junior Stock in connection with a stockholders’ rights plan or any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any stockholders’ rights plan; (v) the acquisition by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of record ownership in Junior Stock or Parity Stock for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians; and (vi) the exchange or conversion of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock or of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock (with the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount) or Junior Stock, in each case, solely to the extent required pursuant to binding contractual agreements entered into prior to the Signing Date or any subsequent agreement for the accelerated exercise, settlement or exchange thereof for Common Stock.  “Share Dilution Amount” means the increase in the number of diluted shares outstanding (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and as measured from the date of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Original Issue Date) resulting from the grant, vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation to employees and equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction.
 
When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable record date) on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the
 
 
A-3

 
Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) in full upon Designated Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock, all dividends declared on Designated Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of Parity Stock that bears cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other.  If the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors determines not to pay any dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Corporation will provide written notice to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend Payment Date.
 
Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, securities or other property) as may be determined by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on any securities, including Common Stock and other Junior Stock, from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividends.
 
Section 4. Liquidation Rights.
 
(a)   Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Designated Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof (whether capital or surplus) available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation, subject to the rights of any creditors of the Corporation, before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, payment in full in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), whether or not declared, to the date of payment (such amounts collectively, the “Liquidation Preference”).
 
(b)   Partial Payment. If in any distribution described in Section 4(a) above the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect to any other stock of the Corporation ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the holders of
 
 
A-4

 
such other stock shall share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to the full respective distributions to which they are entitled.
 
(c)   Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Corporation ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution has been paid in full, the holders of other stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Corporation (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and preferences.
 
(d)   Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 4, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Designated Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
 
Section 5.   Redemption.
 
(a)   Optional Redemption. The Designated Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to the date on which all outstanding shares of Series H UST Preferred Stock have been redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation.  On or after the date on which all outstanding shares of Series H UST Preferred Stock have been redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, out of funds legally available therefor at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that the Corporation, the holders of a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount, the United States Department of the Treasury (if at the time it holds any shares of the Designated Preferred Stock) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (if at the time it holds any shares of the Designated Preferred Stock) may in the future discuss alternative consideration for effecting a redemption, including use of Common Stock.
 
   The redemption price for any shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be payable on the redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing such shares to the Corporation or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating to the Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above.
 
(b)   No Sinking Fund. The Designated Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Designated Preferred

(c)   Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Designated Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Designated Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.
 
(d)   Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of part of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.
 
(e)   Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Corporation, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Corporation, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the redemption price of such shares.
 
 
A-6

 
(f)   Status of Redeemed Shares. Shares of Designated Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock (provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Designated Preferred Stock).
 
(g)   Pro Rata Redemption with Series I UST Preferred Stock.  On any date on which the Corporation redeems shares of the Designated Preferred Stock or its Series I UST Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem shares of the Designated Preferred Stock and the Series I UST Preferred Stock ratably in proportion to the respective aggregate liquidation preferences of the shares of each such series then outstanding.

(a)   General. The holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.
 
(b)   Preferred Stock Directors.  Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by two and the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of  Voting Parity Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect two directors (hereinafter the Preferred Directors and each a Preferred Director) to fill such newly created directorships at the Corporation’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full at which time such right shall terminate with respect to the Designated Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned; provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the election of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Corporation to violate any corporate governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the Corporation may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of independent directors.  Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for directors as provided above, the Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all Preferred Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced by the number of Preferred Directors elected pursuant hereto.  Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the holders of shares of
 
 
A-7

 
Voting Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders described above are then exercisable.  If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 7(c), any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of Designated Preferred Stock necessary to satisfy preemptive or similar rights granted by the Corporation to other persons prior to the Signing Date, or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, whether pursuant to preemptive or similar rights or otherwise, of any other series of Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
 
 
A-8

 
exercisable for any other series of Preferred Stock, ranking equally with and/or junior to Designated Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation will not be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of, the holders of outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock.
 
(d)   Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.

10.          Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
 
11.          Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a business day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a business day.
 
12.          Rule 144 Information.  The Company covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to timely file all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Warrantholder, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will use reasonable best efforts to take such further action as any Warrantholder may reasonably request, in each case to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to, if permitted by the terms of this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, sell this Warrant without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (B) any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.  Upon the written request of any Warrantholder, the Company will deliver to such Warrantholder a written statement that it has complied with such requirements.
 
13.          Adjustments and Other Rights.  The Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 13 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 13 so as to result in duplication:
 
(A)         Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations.  If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock
 
7

 
 
into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date.  In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
 
(B)          Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities.  Until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Original Warrantholder no longer holds this Warrant or any portion thereof and (ii) the third anniversary of the Issue Date, if the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable (collectively, a “conversion”) for shares of Common Stock) (collectively, “convertible securities”) (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below) or a transaction to which subsection (A) of this Section 13 is applicable) without consideration or at a consideration per share (or having a conversion price per share) that is less than 90% of the Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such shares (or such convertible securities) then, in such event:
 
(A) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such shares (or of such convertible securities) (the “Initial Number”) shall be increased to the number obtained by multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on such date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) would purchase at the Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such shares (or such convertible securities); and
 
(B) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such shares (or of such convertible securities) by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to such date and the denominator of
 
8

 
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after the adjustment described in clause (A) above.
 
For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company in connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or convertible securities shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of the net offering price (including the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration and after deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties) of all such securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise or conversion of any such convertible securities into shares of Common Stock; and “Permitted Transactions” shall mean issuances (i) as consideration for or to fund the acquisition of businesses and/or related assets, (ii) in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by the Board of Directors, (iii) in connection with a public or broadly marketed offering and sale of Common Stock or convertible securities for cash conducted by the Company or its affiliates pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or Rule 144A thereunder on a basis consistent with capital raising transactions by comparable financial institutions and (iv) in connection with the exercise of preemptive rights on terms existing as of the Issue Date.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13(B) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance.
 
(C)          Other Distributions.  In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends, dividends of its Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 13(A)), in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (such amount and/or Fair Market Value, the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed.  In such event, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.  In the case of adjustment for a cash dividend that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share Fair Market Value would be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the cash dividend that would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend.  In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.
 
9

 
 
(D)         Certain Repurchases of Common Stock.  In case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase.  In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.  For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to this Section 13(D).
 
(E)          Business Combinations.  In case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 13(A)), the Warrantholder’s right to receive Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the Warrantholder’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph.  In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following the consummation of such Business Combination, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business Combination, then the consideration that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the majority of all holders of the shares of common stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such holders if none make an election).
 
(F)          Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments.  All calculations under this Section 13 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be.  Any provision of this Section 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be
 
10

 
 
carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more.
 
(G)         Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments.  In any case in which the provisions of this Section 13 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
 
(H)         Other Events.  For so long as the Original Warrantholder holds this Warrant or any portion thereof, if any event occurs as to which the provisions of this Section 13 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.  The Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall not be adjusted in the event of a change in the par value of the Common Stock or a change in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company.
 
(I)           Statement Regarding Adjustments.  Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 13, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to each Warrantholder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.
 
(J)           Notice of Adjustment Event.  In the event that the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 13 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 13 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder, in the manner set forth in Section 13(I), which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place.  Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property
 
11

 
which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant.  In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action.  Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.
 
(L)          Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment.  As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market or other applicable national securities exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock that the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 13.
 
(M)        Adjustment Rules.  Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 13 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur.  If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.
 
14.          Exchange.  At any time following the date on which the shares of Common Stock of the Company are no longer listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange (other than in connection with any Business Combination), the Original Warrantholder may cause the Company to exchange all or a portion of this Warrant for an economic interest (to be determined by the Original Warrantholder after consultation with the Company) of the Company classified as permanent equity under U.S. GAAP having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of the portion of the Warrant so exchanged.  The Original Warrantholder shall calculate any Fair Market Value required to be calculated pursuant to this Section 14, which shall not be subject to the Appraisal Procedure.
 
15.           No Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder.
 
16.           Governing Law.  This Warrant will be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal law of the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Each of the Company and the Warrantholder agrees (a) to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for any civil action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) that notice may be served upon the Company at the address in Section 20 below and upon the Warrantholder at the address for the Warrantholder set forth in the registry maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 9 hereof. To the
 
12

 
 
extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and the Warrantholder hereby unconditionally waives trial by jury in any civil legal action or proceeding relating to the Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
 
17.          Binding Effect.  This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company.
 
18.          Amendments.  This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Warrantholder.
 
19 ..          Prohibited Actions.  The Company agrees that it will not take any action which would entitle the Warrantholder to an adjustment of the Exercise Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of this Warrant, together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, conversion and other rights, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by its Charter.
 
20.          Notices.  Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the other will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt, or (b) on the second business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next day courier service.  All notices hereunder shall be delivered as set forth below, or pursuant to such other instructions as may be designated in writing by the party to receive such notice.

16

 
 
5.2           Post-Signing Confirmation Process.  (a)  Not later than the 90th calendar day after the date hereof, Citigroup shall prepare and deliver to the U.S. Federal Parties an updated Schedule A hereto setting forth in complete and final form the information required to be provided on such schedule (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any necessary changes to  Baseline Values).  Each of the U.S. Federal Parties shall review the updated schedule and Citigroup hereby agrees that the U.S. Federal Parties shall have the right, within 120 calendar days after receipt of such updated schedule, to object to any of the following: (i) the inclusion of any asset on Schedule A purporting to be a Covered Asset on grounds that such asset fails to meet one or more of the Covered Asset Criteria or that such Covered Asset is listed more than once on Schedule A; (ii) the identification of any Covered Asset on Schedule A as either a Residential Covered Asset or a Non-Residential Covered Asset on grounds that such asset was improperly categorized; (iii) the Baseline Value assigned to any Covered Asset on grounds that such amount was improperly calculated pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof; (iv) the inclusion of any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitment on Schedule A hereto on grounds that such commitment fails to satisfy the definition of “Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitment”; (v) the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Commitment Value assigned to any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitment or Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitment set forth on Schedule A on grounds that such value was improperly determined; or (vi) the inclusion of Covered Assets the aggregate Baseline Values of which, when taken together with the aggregate Baseline Values of all other Covered Assets and the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Commitment Values of all the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitments and Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitments, exceed $301,000,000,000; in each case by delivering written notice of their objections to Citigroup and proposing amendments to Schedule A (any such objection, a “U.S. Federal Objection”).
 
(b)           Citigroup shall review any U.S. Federal Objection in good faith.  Within 30 calendar days of its receipt of any U.S. Federal Objection, Citigroup shall deliver a notice to the U.S. Federal Parties either accepting such U.S. Federal Objection or disagreeing with such U.S. Federal Objection and specifying the nature of its disagreement.  If Citigroup fails to deliver a notice of disagreement within 30 calendar days of its receipt of any U.S. Federal Objection, it shall be deemed to have accepted such U.S. Federal Objection and to have consented to any amendment of Schedule A proposed in such U.S. Federal Objection.
 
(c)           Each of the U.S. Federal Parties and Citigroup shall seek to resolve any U.S. Federal Objection expeditiously and in good faith.  Citigroup shall provide the U.S. Federal Parties with access to such books, records, working papers and employees as the U.S. Federal Parties may request in connection with the resolution of any U.S. Federal Objection.  If the parties reach agreement with respect to any U.S. Federal Objection, they shall amend Schedule A to reflect such agreement.  If the parties are unable to resolve any U.S. Federal Objection within 30 calendar days of commencing good faith negotiations, the U.S. Federal Objection shall prevail and Schedule A shall be amended consistent with such U.S. Federal Objection.
 
(d)           If as a consequence of either (x) any necessary changes to the Baseline Value or (y) any U.S. Federal Objection that results in an amendment to Schedule A that removes assets listed as “Covered Assets” or otherwise decreases the aggregate Baseline Value thereof, the aggregate Baseline Value of all Covered Assets is reduced, then within 30 calendar days after such amendment, Citigroup shall have the right to substitute or add, as the case may be, new assets that qualify as Covered Assets up to the amount of any such decrease; provided such assets are acceptable to the U.S. Federal Parties acting in good faith; and provided, further, that such decrease does not result from a U.S. Federal Objection pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(iii) or (vi).  Following any such substitution or addition of new assets, such assets shall be subject to this Master Agreement and shall be deemed to be “Covered Assets” in all respects.
 
(e)           The Citigroup Deductible and the number of shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock to be issued to Treasury and FDIC in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby were
 
17

 
 
determined on the basis of the U.S. Federal Parties’ respective assessments of the risks associated with the Covered Assets included in Schedule A (including through a preliminary actuarial analysis by Treasury for purposes of ascertaining compliance with Section 102(c)(3) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008).
 
(f)           Once the final contents of Schedule A have been confirmed, with such adjustments thereto as may be necessary, in accordance with this Section 5, the U.S. Federal Parties shall in good faith review the assessment of projected life time losses, taking into account any such adjustments of Covered Assets included on such Schedule (but disregarding, in assessing the projected life time loss for any Covered Asset with an Effective Time on January 15, 2009, any losses occurring prior to January 15, 2009).  The results of the assessment to be conducted during the confirmatory process shall be used by the U.S. Federal Parties in good faith by taking the projected life time loss for the Covered Assets and subtracting out the Citigroup Deductible as in effect on the date of this Agreement (taking into account any changes to the amount of reserves included in the Citigroup Deductible as a result of the confirmation process but excluding the amount agreed by the parties hereto prior to the date of this Agreement as contributed in exchange for the release of Hedge Agreements).  The U.S. Federal Parties' loss projections for the Covered Assets shall be devised in good faith and in their sole discretion by:
 
(A)           projecting life time losses under conservative assumptions in a base case (as opposed to a stress case) from a November 21, 2008 perspective;
 
(B)           employing, where applicable depending on the asset class, methods including econometric modeling, analysis of collateral-specific attributes and historical performance, third-party market qualitative and quantitative research, discounted cash-flow analysis, examination of indentures and other deal documents, stratification and statistical analysis of Citigroup portfolios, and historical asset class performance at Citigroup and generally in the industry;
 
(C)           conducting one or more meetings and discussions with Citigroup to provide Citigroup a reasonable opportunity to explain (x) Citigroup’s loss projections for each asset class, and (y) general Citigroup management practices, underwriting, and loss mitigation approaches for each asset class; and
 
(D)           using overall methodology consistent with the methodology used by the U.S. Federal Parties to set the original Citigroup Deductible.
 
After finishing the foregoing calculation, the U.S. Federal Parties shall notify Citigroup of the result, including the loss projections for the Covered Assets.  If this calculation results in a positive number, adjustments shall be made, in direct proportion to any increased projected loss, to the Citigroup Deductible or to the composition of the Covered Assets as identified on such Schedule in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(d), or additional loss protection shall be provided in another form acceptable to the U.S. Federal Parties.  The decision as to how best to effect the adjustments or additions described in this section (i.e., through increase to the Citigroup Deductible, change in pool composition or otherwise) shall be made in consultation with Citigroup.   For the avoidance of doubt, there will not be any downward adjustment to the Citigroup Deductible.
 
(g)           After such adjustments or additions are made in accordance with Section 5.2 (f) the projected loss analysis shall be used by Treasury in making a final actuarial calculation as required by such Section 102(c)(3).  After taking into account any such adjustments or additions, and after Treasury consults with FDIC, Citigroup shall issue such additional shares of preferred stock as are necessary to ensure Treasury’s compliance with Section 102(c)(3)), as determined by Treasury, to Treasury.   In the event that Citigroup issues additional shares of preferred stock to Treasury as provided for in this paragraph, Citigroup shall also issue to FDIC that number of shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock as may be necessary to cause the ratio of shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock owned by each of Treasury and
 
18

 
 
FDIC after the issuances under this Section 5.2(g) to equal the ratio that existed prior to such issuances.  Citigroup shall also issue Treasury a warrant to purchase common stock for an aggregate exercise value of 10% of the Citigroup Preferred Stock issued to Treasury pursuant to this paragraph.

Citigroup shall issue (1) to each of Treasury and FDIC additional shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation value equal to the product of  (x) the dividends that would have accrued on the shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 5.2 from November 21, 2008 to the date of issuance of such shares had such shares been issued on November 21, 2008, and (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the Adjusted Baseline Value of the Covered Assets having an effective Time of  November 21, 2008 and the denominator of which is the Adjusted Baseline Value of all covered Assets, and (2) to Treasury a warrant to purchase common stock for an aggregate exercise value of 10% of the Citigroup Preferred Stock issued to Treasury pursuant to Section 5.2.
 
5.3           Other Exclusions.  If at any other time during the term of this Master Agreement any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity or any of the U.S. Federal Parties becomes aware of the existence of any asset improperly included as a “Covered Asset”, such Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity or U.S. Federal Party (as applicable) shall promptly report the same to the other parties hereto, Schedule A shall be amended as appropriate and all actions required under Section 5.4 shall be taken.  
 
5.4           Effects of Exclusion.  In the event any adjustment is made to Schedule A pursuant to this Section 5 and the FRBNY Available Amount or any purported Loss or Covered Loss is subsequently determined, on the basis of any such adjustment pursuant to this Section 5, to have been improperly calculated, all calculations previously made under this Master Agreement shall be recalculated promptly to the extent necessary to put the parties in the same economic position they would been in had the FRBNY Available Amount, Loss or Covered Loss been properly calculated.  If Citigroup has received funds in excess of the amount to which it would have otherwise been entitled from any of the U.S. Federal Parties, it shall promptly reimburse each of the relevant U.S. Federal Parties in the amount of such excess; provided, that if Citigroup shall be unable to reimburse each of the relevant U.S. Federal Parties in full, it shall reimburse them in the order of priority specified in Section 7.2.  It is understood that in the event any asset has been pledged by Citigroup to FRBNY pursuant to Section 10.3(d) that is subsequently determined to have been improperly included as a “Covered Asset,” FRBNY shall have no obligation to release its lien on such asset until such time as it shall have been reimbursed in full to the extent required under this Section 5.4.
 
5.5           Foreign Assets.  Within 30 calendar days of any Calendar Quarter in which Citigroup incurs a Loss, Citigroup shall review and confirm that no Covered Asset consisting of an asset-backed security in respect of which a Loss was incurred in such Calendar Quarter was a “Foreign Asset” within clause (g) of the definition of that term as of the last day of such Calendar Quarter.  If Citigroup identifies any such asset-backed security as a “Foreign Asset”, it shall promptly report the same to the other parties hereto.  For purposes of calculating any Loss hereunder in respect of such Covered Asset incurred prior to the FRBNY Funding Date (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any Loss or Post Coverage Period Loss subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date), Citigroup shall only be entitled to claim an amount of Loss equal to the same percentage of the full amount of the Loss incurred on such Covered Asset as the aggregate value of the underlying assets securing such security that are obligations of U.S. Persons is of the total value of all ultimate underlying assets securing such security.     
 
SECTION 6.  DETERMINATION OF COVERED LOSSES
 
6.1           Quarterly Calculations.  Within 30 calendar days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Citigroup shall calculate, in each case in accordance with this Section 6: (a) the Adjusted Baseline Value of each Covered Asset as of the end of such Calendar Quarter; (b) the aggregate Losses incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of each Covered Asset in such Calendar Quarter; (c) the aggregate Recoveries received by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of each Covered
 
19

 
 
Asset in such Calendar Quarter; (d) the aggregate Gains recognized by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of each Covered Asset in such Calendar Quarter; and (e) the Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss and the Covered Loss (if any) incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in such Calendar Quarter.  
 
6.2           Adjusted Baseline Value.  As of any date of calculation, the “Adjusted Baseline Value” of each Covered Asset shall be equal to: (a) the Baseline Value of such Covered Asset plus (b) in the case of any Covered Loan, the Baseline Value of any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitment Advances made in respect of such Covered Loan subsequent to the Effective Time minus (c) all Losses incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities on such Covered Asset subsequent to the Effective Time minus (d) all principal payments and fees received with respect to such Covered Asset subsequent to the Effective Time minus (e) all Hedging Proceeds received by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of such Covered Asset subsequent to the Effective Time; provided that (i) no increase to “Adjusted Baseline Value” shall be made to reflect any amounts specified in clause (b) at any time subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date and (ii) at no time shall any increase to “Adjusted Baseline Value” be made pursuant to clause (b) to the extent, as a result of such increase, the aggregate Adjusted Baseline Values of all Covered Assets, when taken together with the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Commitment Values of all the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitments and Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitments, would exceed $301,000,000,000.  The “Adjusted Baseline Value” of any Replacement Covered Asset shall initially be determined in accordance with Section 6.8 hereof, and thereafter in accordance with this Section 6.2.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that in no event shall Adjusted Baseline Value be increased for any accretion of value of a Covered Accrual Basis Asset.
 
6.3           Losses.  A “Loss” in respect of any Covered Asset shall be equal to (as applicable and without duplication): (a) the amount of any Charge-Off (up to a maximum of the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset) taken on such Covered Asset by a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity subsequent to the Effective Time; (b) with respect to any Covered Asset Disposed of by a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity in a Permitted Disposition subsequent to the Effective Time, the amount (if any) by which the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset as of the date of the Permitted Disposition exceeds the proceeds from such Permitted Disposition (it being understood that in the case of any Covered Asset Disposed of in part, “Loss” shall be calculated as the amount (if any) by which the portion of the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset that ratably corresponds to the portion of such Covered Asset being Disposed exceeds the proceeds from such Permitted Disposition); (c) with respect to any Covered Asset maturing subsequent to the Effective Time (including as a result of acceleration), the amount (if any) by which the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset immediately prior to its maturity exceeds the principal payments and fees received by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity in connection with its maturity; (d) the amount of any Foreclosure Loss in respect of such Covered Asset (up to a maximum of the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset) subsequent to the Effective Time; (e) the amount of any Short-Sale Loss in respect of such Covered Asset (up to a maximum of the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset) subsequent to the Effective Time; and (f) with respect to any Asset Exchanges in respect of a Covered Asset, the amount (if any) by which the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset as of the date of the relevant Asset Exchange exceeds the Exchange Value of all Exchange Assets acquired in respect of such Covered Asset (whether Replacement Covered Assets or Ineligible Exchange Assets).  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the term “Loss” be deemed to include any loss resulting from (i) the application of Fair Value accounting to any Covered Asset on or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any unrealized “mark to market” losses subsequent to the Effective Time or (iii) any liabilities, losses, penalties, costs or expenses incurred in connection with any financing arrangements or unwinding of financing arrangements in respect of any Covered Asset.
 
6.4           Recoveries.  “Recoveries” in respect of any Covered Asset shall be equal to the sum of the following items (without duplication), up to the aggregate amount of Losses incurred on such Covered Asset at such time: (i) all amounts collected by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity on Charge-Offs of such Covered Asset plus (ii) the amount of all fees and other consideration received by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity in connection with any amendment, modification, renewal, extension, refinancing,
 
20

 
 
restructuring, commitment or other similar action taken by such Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity with respect to such Covered Asset in respect of which any Charge-Off has been taken by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity (provided, that the amount of any such fees or other consideration counted as a “Recovery” shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the related Charge-Offs taken and any Recovery Expenses related thereto); plus (iii) all amounts collected by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity in respect of any other Losses incurred on such Covered Asset plus (iv) if such Covered Asset is pledged to FRBNY pursuant to Section 10.3(d), all amounts received by FRBNY upon any sale, collection from, or other realization upon such Covered Asset in accordance with the Security Documents; minus (iv) the Recovery Expenses incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of such Covered Asset plus (v) any amounts collected by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities that reimburse Recovery Expenses previously incurred by them in respect of such Covered Asset; provided, “Recoveries” shall not include any cash interest payments received by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities permitted to be retained for their account pursuant to Section 7.4(c).  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that “Recoveries” shall also not include any amounts advanced to Citigroup by Treasury or FDIC pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 of this Master Agreement or borrowed by Citigroup pursuant to Section 4 of this Master Agreement.  
 
6.5           Gains.  “Gains” in respect of any Covered Asset shall be equal to the amount (if any) by which: (a) the sum of (i) all amounts received in cash subsequent to the Effective Time by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity upon any sale, collection from, or other realization upon such Covered Asset (including all Hedging Proceeds in respect of such Covered Asset, but excluding any cash interest payments received by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities permitted to be retained for their account pursuant to Section 7.4(c)) and (ii) if such Covered Asset is pledged to FRBNY pursuant to Section 10.3(d), all amounts received in cash by FRBNY upon any sale, collection from, or other realization upon such Covered Asset exceeds (b) the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset.  With respect to any Asset Exchanges in respect of a Covered Asset, a “Gain” shall be equal to the amount (if any) by which the aggregate Exchange Values of all Exchange Assets acquired in respect of such Covered Asset (whether Replacement Covered Assets or Ineligible Exchange Assets) exceeds the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset as of the date of the relevant Asset Exchange.
 
6.6           Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses.  For any Calendar Quarter, a “Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss” shall be equal to the amount (if any) by which (a) all Losses incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities on all Covered Assets in such Calendar Quarter exceed (b) the sum of all Recoveries and Gains realized by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities on all Covered Assets in such Calendar Quarter.
 
6.7           Covered Losses.  For any Calendar Quarter, a “Covered Loss” shall be equal to 90% of any Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss for that quarter, but only to the extent that such Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss, when taken together with all prior Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses incurred on a cumulative basis by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities subsequent to the Effective Time, exceeds the Citigroup Deductible; provided, that in no event shall any Loss arising from a failure by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity to manage the Covered Assets in accordance with the Governance and Asset Management Guidelines be considered in calculating a Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss or a Covered Loss hereunder.
 
6.8           Effects of Asset Exchanges on Calculations.  (a)  In the event any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity acquires one or more Exchange Assets in an Asset Exchange, Citigroup shall promptly determine whether each such Exchange Asset satisfies the criteria for a Replacement Covered Asset, in which case such Exchange Asset shall be a Replacement Covered Asset (and therefore a Covered Asset for purposes of this Master Agreement), or whether such asset is an Ineligible Exchange Asset, in which case such asset shall not be eligible for loss-sharing coverage under this Master Agreement.  
 
(b)           In connection with its acquisition of any Exchange Asset, Citigroup shall value such asset for purposes of this Master Agreement in accordance with then applicable accounting
 
21

 
 
principles and valuation policies applied by Citigroup to its assets generally and consistent with the Governance and Asset Management Guidelines (such value, the “Exchange Value”) and shall determine on the basis of such Exchange Value whether as a result of such Asset Exchange, the applicable Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity has incurred a Loss or realized a Gain in accordance with the terms of Sections 6.3 and 6.5.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Gain realized by a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity as a result of any Asset Exchange shall be applied as required under Section 7 (in the case of any Ineligible Exchange Asset, as set forth in Section 6.8(d)).
 
(c)           Immediately following the determinations in Section 6.8(b), Citigroup shall calculate an initial Adjusted Baseline Value for each Replacement Covered Asset.  
 
(i)           In the case of any single Replacement Covered Asset acquired in respect of a Covered Asset, such Replacement Covered Asset shall be deemed to have an initial Adjusted Baseline Value equal to either:
 
(A)           if such Replacement Covered Asset has an Exchange Value that is equal to or less than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s Exchange Value; or
 
(B)           if such Replacement Covered Asset has an Exchange Value that is greater than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged, the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged.
 
(ii)           In the case of multiple Exchange Assets acquired in respect of a Covered Asset all of which are Replacement Covered Assets, each such Replacement Covered Asset shall be deemed to have an initial Adjusted Baseline Value equal to either:
 
(A)           if the sum of the Exchange Values of the Replacement Covered Assets is equal to or less than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which they were exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s Exchange Value; or
 
(B)           if the sum of the Exchange Values of the Replacement Covered Assets is greater than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which they were exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s ratable portion (taking in account the Exchange Values of all the Replacement Covered Assets acquired in such Asset Exchange) of the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged.
 
(iii)            In the case of multiple Exchange Assets acquired in respect of a Covered Asset not all of which are Replacement Covered Assets, each such Replacement Covered Asset acquired in such Asset Exchange shall be deemed to have an initial Adjusted Baseline Value equal to either:
 
(A)           if the sum of the Exchange Values of the Replacement Covered Assets is equal to or less than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which they were exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s Exchange Value; or
 
(B)           if the sum of the Exchange Values of the Replacement Covered Assets is greater than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which they were exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s ratable portion (taking in account the Exchange Values of all the Replacement Covered Assets and excluding the Exchange Values of any Ineligible Exchange Assets acquired in such Asset Exchange) of the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged.
 
22

 
 
(iv)           For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the initial Adjusted Baseline Value of any Replacement Covered Asset (or group of Replacement Covered Assets) calculated in accordance with this Section 6.8 shall never be greater than the Adjusted Baseline Value of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged as of the date of such Asset Exchange.
 
(d)           In the case of any acquisition by a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity of an Ineligible Exchange Asset in any Calendar Quarter, Citigroup shall pay in cash (i) in the case of any such acquisition prior to the FRBNY Funding Date, a portion of the Exchange Value of such Ineligible Exchange Asset equal to any Gain required to be applied, as part of any Excess Recoveries or Gains, under Section 7.1 within 30 calendar days of such Calendar Quarter (and such cash shall be applied as required under Section 7.1) or (ii) in the case of any such acquisition on or subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date, 90% of the Exchange Value of such Ineligible Exchange Asset within 30 calendar days of such Calendar Quarter (and such cash shall be applied as required under Section 7.2).
 
(e)           Each calculation, valuation or other determination made by Citigroup pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall be subject to the review of the U.S. Federal Parties.
 
6.9           Effects of Exchange Rates on Calculations.  For purposes of making any calculation required under this Section 6 or otherwise under this Master Agreement, Citigroup shall use the Dollar Equivalent of any relevant amounts in respect of Covered Assets denominated in currencies other than Dollars.  
 
SECTION 7.  APPLICATION OF RECOVERIES, GAINS AND OTHER AMOUNTS
 
7.1           Application Prior to the FRBNY Funding Date.  Within 30 calendar days of each Calendar Quarter ending prior to the FRBNY Funding Date in which the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities have received Excess Recoveries or Gains in respect of the Covered Assets, Citigroup shall apply 90% of such Excess Recoveries or Gains as follows (it being understood that the remaining 10% may be retained by Citigroup):
 
(a)           First, to reimburse FDIC for any outstanding FDIC Advances;
 
(b)           Second, to reimburse Treasury for any outstanding Treasury Advances;
 
(c)           Third, to reimburse Treasury and FDIC (on a ratable basis) for any costs, expenses, indemnities or other amounts to which they are entitled under this Master Agreement; and
 
(d)           Fourth, to reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, the sum of all Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses deemed to have been incurred by Citigroup in or prior to such Calendar Quarter for purposes of determining whether such Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses equal or exceed the Citigroup Deductible; provided that if no Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses have been incurred in or prior to such Calendar Quarter (or the sum of such Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses has been reduced to zero pursuant to this clause (d)), any remaining Excess Recoveries or Gains shall be accounted for by Citigroup to offset any future Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses in subsequent Calendar Quarters in direct chronological order.
 
7.2           Application Subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date.  Within 30 calendar days of each Calendar Quarter ending subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date in which any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity or FRBNY (upon its exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), as the case may be, has received any amounts in respect of any Covered Asset (other than interest payments permitted to be retained for the account of the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities to the extent provided in Section 7.4), Citigroup or FRBNY (as applicable) shall apply 90% of such proceeds as follows (it being understood that the remaining 10% may be retained by, or shall be paid by FRBNY to, Citigroup, as applicable):
 
(a)           First, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the FRBNY Loan;
 
23

 
 
(b)           Second, to pay any accrued and unpaid interest on the FRBNY Loan;
 
(c)           Third, to reimburse FDIC for any outstanding FDIC Advances;
 
(d)           Fourth, to reimburse Treasury for any outstanding Treasury Advances; and
 
(e)           Fifth, to reimburse each of the U.S. Federal Parties (on a ratable basis) for any costs, expenses, indemnities or other amounts to which they are entitled under this Master Agreement or any other Program Document.
 
Any amounts remaining after application in accordance with this Section 7.2 may be retained by Citigroup; provided that if the application of any proceeds pursuant to this Section 7.2 is made by FRBNY following its exercise of remedies under the Security Documents, 90% of any remaining amounts shall be retained by FRBNY.
 
7.3           Effect on Treasury and FDIC Available Amounts.  Any amounts reimbursed to Treasury or FDIC pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be available for further Treasury Advances or FDIC Advances as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, no amounts repaid to FRBNY shall be available for any further FRBNY loans and no amounts reimbursed to Treasury or FDIC pursuant to Section 7.2 shall be available for further Treasury Advances or FDIC Advances).
 
7.4           Non-Recourse Obligations.  (a)  Subject to Section 7.4(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Agreement and the other Program Documents, (i) no Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity shall have any obligation to reimburse or repay (as applicable) any outstanding Citigroup Non-Recourse Obligations except to the extent provided in this Section 7 and the Security Documents and (ii) the Citigroup Non-Recourse Obligations are solely the obligations of Citigroup and, to the extent provided in the Security Documents, the Citigroup Ring-Fence Affiliates and shall be payable solely out of the Covered Assets.  No recourse shall be had for the payment of any Citigroup Non-Recourse Obligations against any holder of Capital Stock, employee, officer or Affiliate of Citigroup (provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such person or entity from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or omissions by it).  
 
(b)           All of the Citigroup Loan Obligations (other than those Citigroup Loan Obligations constituting Citigroup Non-Recourse Obligations) shall be with full recourse to the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities and shall not be subject to the limitations of Section 7.4(a).  
 
(c)           For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that all interest payments (as determined in accordance with applicable accounting principles and regardless of how characterized under the terms of the applicable Covered Asset) received in cash by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of the Covered Assets (and not including any accretion of discount in accordance with applicable accounting principles) shall be solely for the account of the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities; provided that if at any time subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the U.S. Federal Parties shall have the right to receive such cash interest payments and such payments shall be applied as set forth in Section 7.2.
 
(d)           The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Master Agreement.
 
7.5           Citigroup Payments to the U.S. Federal Parties.  Any amounts required to be applied by Citigroup under Section 7.1 or 7.2 to reimburse any of the U.S. Federal Parties shall be paid by Citigroup to the account designated by FRBNY in writing to Citigroup from time to time.  Citigroup shall include with each such payment directions to FRBNY as to the allocation of amounts among the U.S. Federal Parties (which allocation shall be made in accordance with the order of payments specified in
 
24

 
Section 7.1 or 7.2 (as applicable)).  Upon its receipt of any funds from Citigroup, FRBNY shall promptly distribute such funds in accordance with Citigroup’s directions.
 
7.6           Allocation of Payments.  Amounts applied under Section 7.2 to repay the outstanding principal amount of the FRBNY Loan shall be allocated to the Installment Balance in proportion to the fraction of the FRBNY Loan represented by such Installment Balance as of the date of repayment.
 
SECTION 8.  CERTAIN LIMITATIONS
 
8.1             Limitation on Loss Payment and Calculations.  (a) The U.S. Federal Parties shall not be required to give effect to and shall have the right to challenge or correct any calculation by Citigroup under the Master Agreement that the U.S. Federal Parties determine, in their good faith judgment, based upon the requirements of the Program Documents, has not been properly determined by Citigroup.  Such calculations shall include, without limitation, determinations of Adjusted Baseline Value, amounts applied toward the Citigroup Deductible, Exchange Value, calculations relating to Foreign Asset status, Foreclosure Loss, Gains, Hedging Proceeds, Loss, Recoveries and Recovery Expenses.  Each of the U.S. Federal Parties and Citigroup shall seek to resolve any disagreement relating to such calculations expeditiously and in good faith.  If the parties are unable to resolve any such objection within 30 calendar days of commencing good faith discussions, the calculation as determined by the U.S. Federal Parties shall prevail and the parties shall make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such corrections.
 
(b)           Without in any way limiting the foregoing Section 8.1(a), the U.S. Federal Parties shall not be required to make any payments under the Master Agreement with respect to any Charge-Off (or otherwise give effect to any Charge-Off) of a Covered Asset that the U.S. Federal Parties determine was improperly taken by Citigroup in violation of the requirements of the Program Documents.  In the event that the U.S. Federal Parties do not make any payment with respect to, or otherwise give any effect to, any Charge-Off of a Covered Asset pursuant to this Section or determine that a payment or any calculation based on a Charge-Off was improperly made, Citigroup and the U.S. Federal Parties shall make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such corrections.

(c)           No Covered Asset shall be treated as such for purposes of calculating a Loss with respect thereto (a) after Citigroup makes any additional advance, commitment or increase in the amount of a commitment with respect to such Covered Asset that does not constitute a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitment Advance, (b) after Citigroup makes any amendment, modification, renewal or extension to such Covered Asset that does not constitute a Permitted Amendment, or (c) after Citigroup has managed, administered or collected any Related Asset (as such term is defined in Section 5.3 of the Governance and Asset Management Guidelines) in any manner which would have the effect of increasing the amount of any collections with respect to the Related Asset to the detriment of the Covered Asset to which such asset is related; provided, that if Citigroup shall thereafter promptly cure any such condition specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) to the satisfaction of the U.S. Federal Parties, such Covered Asset shall once again be eligible for loss-sharing coverage to the full extent permitted under this Master Agreement; and provided, further, that any such Covered Asset that has been the subject of Charge-Offs prior to the taking of any action described in clause (a), (b), or (c) of this Section by Citigroup shall be treated as a Covered Asset for the purpose of calculating Recoveries and Gains with respect to such Covered Asset under this Master Agreement.

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program Documents, the U.S. Federal Parties may withhold payment for any amounts included in a Quarterly Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Governance and Asset Management Guidelines, if, in their good faith judgment, there is a reasonable basis for denying the eligibility of an item for which reimbursement or
 
25

 
 
payment is sought under the Master Agreement.  In such event, the U.S. Federal Parties shall provide a written notice to Citigroup detailing the grounds for withholding such payment. At such time as Citigroup demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the U.S. Federal Parties that the grounds for such withholding of payment, or portion of payment, no longer exist or have been cured, then the relevant U.S. Federal Party shall pay Citigroup the amount withheld which the relevant U.S. Federal Party reasonably determines is eligible for payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days.

SECTION 9.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
Citigroup hereby represents and warrants, on behalf of itself and the Citigroup Ring-Fence Affiliates, and each Citigroup Ring-Fence Affiliate represents and warrants on behalf of itself, to each of the U.S. Federal Parties that:

9.2           Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.  Each Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Program Documents to which it is, or will become, a party and, in the case of Citigroup, to borrow the FRBNY Loan hereunder.  Each Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Program Documents to which it is, or will become, a party and to authorize the borrowing of the FRBNY Loan on the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement.  No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the transactions and the borrowing of the FRBNY Loan hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Master Agreement or any of the Program Documents to which any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity is, or will become, a party, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in the Security Documents and (iii) consents, authorizations, filings and notices the failure of which to obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Program Document to which any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity is, or will become, a party has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity.  This Master Agreement constitutes, and each other Program Document to which any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity is, or will become, a party, upon execution, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity, enforceable against such entity in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
 
9.3           No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Master Agreement and the other Program Documents to which any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity is, or will become, a party, the borrowing of the FRBNY Loan hereunder and the use of the proceeds of any Treasury Advance, FDIC Advance or the FRBNY Loan will not violate, and will not result in, or require the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any Lien created by the Security Documents) on any of its properties, assets or revenues under, (a) any Requirement of Law or (b) any Contractual Obligation, except with respect to clause (b) to the extent that any violation of such Contractual Obligation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
26

 
 
9.4           Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of, or before, any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of Citigroup, threatened by or against any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity or against any of such Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity’s properties, assets or revenues, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
9.5           No Default.  Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations.
 
9.6           Taxes.  Except as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority.  No tax Liens have been filed, and, to the knowledge of Citigroup, no claims are being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge, except those that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.

Affiliate Pledgor hereunder with respect to such Citigroup Loan Obligations in default shall become immediately due and payable to FRBNY.
 
(c)           This Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Citigroup Loan Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by FRBNY, (ii) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Citigroup against FRBNY, (iii) until FRBNY shall have been paid in full, any right of any Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor against any other Person, or (iv) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Citigroup or any Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Citigroup for the Citigroup Loan Obligations, or of any Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor under this Section 2, in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, liquidation, reorganization or any other similar proceeding, or by other operation of law, or for any other reason.
 
(d)           NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS TO THE CONTRARY, FRBNY’S RECOURSE FOR THE SATISFACTION OF EACH CITIGROUP AFFILIATE PLEDGOR’S GUARANTY OF THE CITIGROUP LOAN OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OF THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LIMITED SOLELY TO FRBNY’S INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL OF SUCH CITIGROUP AFFILIATE PLEDGOR AND NO CITIGROUP AFFILIATE PLEDGOR SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY CITIGROUP LOAN OBLIGATIONS, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE LIMITATION ON EACH CITIGROUP AFFILIATE PLEDGOR’S PERSONAL LIABILITY AS PROVIDED HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENT SHALL NOT IMPAIR THE VALIDITY OF THE LIEN GRANTED HEREUNDER IN THE COLLATERAL OF SUCH CITIGROUP AFFILIATE PLEDGOR OR BE TAKEN TO PREVENT THE ENFORCEMENT OF REMEDIES AGAINST THE COLLATERAL OF ANY CITIGROUP AFFILIATE PLEDGOR PLEDGED IN RESPECT OF ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS.
 
(e)           This Section 2 is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and is in no way conditioned or contingent on Citigroup’s performance of any obligation to FRBNY under the Master Agreement or otherwise any attempt to enforce in whole or in part any of Citigroup’s liabilities and obligations to FRBNY or the existence or continuance of Citigroup or any other Person as a legal entity nor shall this Agreement or each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor’s obligations hereunder be limited (subject to Sections 2.1(d) and 3.3 hereof), impaired, restricted or otherwise affected by the consolidation or merger of Citigroup with or into any other entity, the sale, lease or other disposition by Citigroup of all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity (whether or not effected in compliance with the Master Agreement), or the bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorship or receivership of Citigroup, the admission in writing by Citigroup of its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or its making of a general assignment for the benefit of, or entering into a composition or arrangement with, creditors.
 
2.2
Obligations Independent
 
The obligations of the Citigroup Affiliate Pledgors under this Section 2 are independent of the obligations of Citigroup, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted

against each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor regardless of whether action is brought against Citigroup or whether Citigroup is joined in any such action or actions.
 
2.3
Authorization of Renewals, Etc.
 
Each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor authorizes FRBNY, without notice or demand to, or consent of, any Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor and without impairing or releasing any Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor’s obligations hereunder, or affecting its liability hereunder in any way, from time to time:

(b)           to receive and hold security for the payment of this Agreement or any other Secured Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any such security;
 
(c)           to apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as FRBNY in its discretion may determine and to apply any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to any obligations of Citigroup or any Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor to FRBNY regardless of what obligations and liabilities remain unpaid;
 
(d)           to release or substitute any one or more of any endorsers or guarantors of the Secured Obligations; and
 
(e)           in accordance with the Master Agreement, to assign its rights and interests under this Agreement or the Master Agreement in whole or in part.
 
Without limiting the foregoing, each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor hereby specifically waives its rights and benefits under any statute, regulation, judicial decision or other law which purports to exonerate or reduce the liability of a surety if the underlying obligation is altered in any respect or if the rights and remedies of the creditor against the principal in respect of a secured obligation are in any way altered, impaired or suspended and agrees that, by so doing, each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor’s obligations hereunder shall continue even if FRBNY alters any obligations under the Master Agreement in any respect or FRBNY’s remedies or rights against Citigroup are in any way impaired or suspended without any Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor’s consent.
 
Each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor further agrees the performance or occurrence of any of the acts or events described in this Section 2.3 with respect to indebtedness or other obligations of Citigroup, other than the Citigroup Loan Obligations, to FRBNY, shall not affect the liability of any Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor hereunder.

(b)           No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the obligations or liabilities of Citigroup under the Master Agreement or any other agreement between Citigroup and FRBNY shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Agreement.  Each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under any statute, regulation, judicial decision or other law which purports to exonerate or reduce the liability of a surety as a result of any disability or absence of liability of the principal or any defense to liability or enforcement which the principal may have and agrees that, by so doing, such Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor’s obligations and the security interests granted hereunder shall continue even if Citigroup had no liability at the time of execution of the Master Agreement or thereafter ceased or ceases to be liable.  Each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor also waives any and all benefits and defenses under any statute, regulation, judicial decision or other law which purports to limit the liability of a surety to that of the principal or to reduce the liability of a surety in proportion to any reduction in the liability of the principal and agrees that, by so doing, such Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor’s obligations hereunder may be more burdensome than that of Citigroup.  Each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor also waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.
