▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Dear ▇▇▇:
This Letter Agreement, together with the attachments hereto (collectively, the
"Agreement"), reflects our mutual understanding with respect to your separation
from employment as a result of your retirement from Citigroup Inc. (the
"Company", and together with its subsidiaries and their affiliates, "Citigroup")
and sets forth the payments and benefits that you will be eligible to receive
under this Agreement.
1. RESIGNATIONS AND TERMINATION DATE. You have advised us that you will resign
from the Board of Directors of the Company, and from your position as President
and Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective as of August 31, 2005 (the
"Termination Date"). Effective with such resignation, you will no longer be a
member of any board or internal management committee of the Company or Citigroup
and you will have no authority to take any action on behalf of or otherwise bind
the Company or Citigroup.
2. PAYMENTS THROUGH THE TERMINATION DATE. Until the close of business on the
Termination Date, you will continue to receive (a) salary payments at your
current annual base salary rate of $1,000,000 (less applicable withholdings and
deductions), paid in accordance with the Company's payroll practices in the
ordinary course and (b) the benefits commensurate with the level and type of
benefits you currently receive. Your participation in the Citigroup Senior
Officer Security Program will end at, and you will continue to be covered by the
Stock Ownership Commitment, the Loan Policy, and the Personal Trading Policy
until, the close of business on the Termination Date.
3. POST-TERMINATION HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS. Following the Termination Date,
you will be eligible for applicable medical and other benefits pursuant to the
terms of the applicable plans and any changes thereto, and additional
information concerning such benefits will be provided to you under separate
cover.

4. OTHER PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS. If after the Termination Date you sign the
General Release in the form attached hereto as Attachment A ("General Release")
and it becomes effective, you will receive the following payments and benefits,
subject to the conditions and restrictions and in the manner and time frames
described in this paragraph 4. You acknowledge and agree that certain of the
payments and benefits described herein differ from and are in excess of the
total payments and benefits you would otherwise be eligible to receive upon
retirement, absent this Agreement.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Citicorp 1997 Stock Incentive
Plan, the Citigroup 1999 Stock Incentive Plan or your stock option award
agreements to the contrary, all unvested, outstanding employee stock options
granted to you from the Company will vest in full as of the Termination Date,
and provided you comply with the provisions of paragraph 9 below, your vested
options will remain exercisable for a period of two (2) years following the
Termination Date, but in any event no later than the original expiration date of
the option. Any sale restriction on incremental shares distributed to you in
connection with your exercise of employee stock options will no longer apply
following the Termination Date.
(b) The restricted and deferred stock awards granted to you from the
Company under the Capital Accumulation Program ("CAP") on February 12, 2003,
January 20, 2004 and January 18, 2005 including basic and premium shares, will
fully vest and be delivered to you within ten (10) days following the Effective
Date of the General Release.
(c) Forty percent (40%) of the restricted stock award granted to you from
the Company on July 15, 2003 will fully vest and be delivered to you within ten
(10) days following the Effective Date of the General Release.
(d) You will receive a pro-rata incentive award for the 2005 compensation
year in the form of a cash payment (less applicable withholdings and deductions)
in a gross amount equal to seven-twelfths (7/12) of the pre-tax nominal value of
the award package you would have otherwise received in early 2006 had you not
separated from the Company (the "Incentive Award"). The amount of the Incentive
Award will be based on the 2005 year-end financial results for Citigroup, and
will be calculated in the same manner and using the same methodology that
applied to your incentive awards for the years 2003 and 2004, disregarding for
this purpose the fact that you retired from the Company prior to the end of the
fiscal year and received certain payments under this Agreement. The Incentive
Award will not be subject to CAP and will be paid on the date in early 2006 that
incentive awards are paid to the other senior executives of Citigroup.

5. POST-TERMINATION SERVICES.
(a) You may continue to participate in the Financial Planning Program
available to Management Committee members, and the Company will provide you with
an office in midtown Manhattan, administrative support, and a car and driver, in
each case, until the earlier of (i) February 28, 2006 or the (ii) the date you
commence employment with another employer. If you have not commenced employment
with another employer on or before February 15, 2006, the Company will make a
payment to you on or before February 28, 2006 in an amount equal to the cost of
providing the above described services for a period of six (6) months and will
allow you to continue to use such services for an additional period of up to six
(6) months, beginning on March 1, 2006 and ending on August 31, 2006, provided
that you have not commenced employment with another employer during such
additional six (6) month period and you reimburse the Company on a monthly basis
for such services. The cost of providing these services and the aggregate amount
of the reimbursement shall be equal, and shall be determined by the Company in
its sole discretion.
(b) Your 2005 and 2006 W-2 income will reflect all taxable income arising
from Company-provided services, including without limitation your participation
in the Financial Planning Program, and the personal use of Citigroup-provided
transportation, office space and administrative support to the extent required
by applicable law and as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
(c) To the extent that any or all of such post-termination services
described in this paragraph 5 are subject to federal, state or local income
taxes ("Taxes"), Citigroup will make an additional payment ("Gross-up") to you
or on your behalf to the appropriate tax authority, as determined by the
Company, such that the Taxes associated with the income relating to these
services and the Taxes associated with the Gross-up payment do not give rise to
an out-of-pocket tax cost to you.
6. PENSION AND 401(K) PLANS. The Company acknowledges that your account balances
under the Company's qualified and non-qualified pension plans in which you are a
participant, including the Citigroup Pension Plan, the Primerica Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan, the Travelers Group Inc. Retirement Benefit
Equalization Plan and 401(k) plan are already 100% vested and shall remain
unaffected by this Agreement. Additional information concerning your pension and
401(k) plan benefits will be provided to you under separate cover.

However, the foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit any entity with whom you
may have an employment, principal or consulting relationship (each an "Employing
Entity") from soliciting or offering employment to (i) any persons (including
Senior Managers) who respond to a general solicitation or advertisement that is
not specifically directed to Citigroup employees or any specific group of
Citigroup employees; (ii) any persons (including Senior Managers) who are

(b) For a period of eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date,
you agree that you will not directly or indirectly solicit or induce any client

the closing of any such Merger Transaction you may remain employed in the same
position you held with the Employing Entity prior to the closing of the Merger
Transaction (or the successor to the Employing Entity in the Merger Transaction)

Merger Transaction) is less than fifty (50%) percent of the total consolidated
assets of the relevant Restricted Entity; (ii) for their respective most
recently completed fiscal years ending immediately prior to the closing of the

you would become a Named Executive Officer of a Restricted Entity as a result of
the Merger Transaction at any time during the Restricted Period.
(d) You acknowledge and agree that given the role and opportunity you have
enjoyed with the Company, the covenants contained in this paragraph 9 are
reasonable, constitute an important part of the Company's consideration provided
to you under this Agreement, and will not unnecessarily or unreasonably restrict
your professional opportunities.

Releasees orally or in writing. The Company agrees not to disparage or denigrate
you or your agents, assignees, attorneys, heirs, executors and administrators
orally or in writing, and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause its
directors and executive officers not to disparage or denigrate you or your
agents, assignees, attorneys, heirs, executors and administrators.

services and their development, technical information, marketing, trading,
investment, fund management and sales activities and procedures, promotion and

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ EXECUTION COPY
August 24, 2005
Page 6 of 13
either directly or indirectly, any such Proprietary Information for any reason
unless required by a statute, by a court of law, by any governmental agency or
self-regulatory organization having supervisory authority over Citigroup
business, or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee
thereof) with jurisdiction to order you to divulge, disclose or make accessible
such information. Prior to any disclosure, however, you shall give notice to the
Company's General Counsel, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, of any
such request or demand for Proprietary Information immediately upon your receipt
of same and shall reasonably cooperate with Citigroup in any application it may
make seeking a protective order barring disclosure of such Proprietary
Information.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY.
(a) You represent that you have kept, and you agree that you will keep, the
existence and terms of this Agreement that have not otherwise been publicly
disclosed by the Company and any discussions with an authorized representative
of the Company that relate to it strictly confidential. You also agree that
neither you nor anyone acting on your behalf will disclose such information,
directly or indirectly to any third party, unless and until this Agreement has
been publicly disclosed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing you may
disclose the terms of this Agreement to, as applicable, your spouse, attorney
and financial advisor provided that you first secure their agreement to keep the
terms of this Agreement strictly confidential in accordance with the terms of
this paragraph 13. In addition, you may disclose the terms of this Agreement if
necessary in any action to enforce this Agreement or as otherwise required by
law, provided however that you promptly give notice to the Company's General
Counsel of any attempts to compel disclosure.
(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to prohibit or restrict
you from providing truthful information concerning your employment or
Citigroup's business activities to any government, regulatory or self-regulatory
agency, or court of law, as necessary or appropriate in any litigation or other
proceeding.

that relate to or arise out of your employment with the Company, with the
understanding that any meetings you are requested to attend are scheduled during

advised the Company's General Counsel of all facts of which you are aware that

15. REMEDIES.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without
limiting any remedies at law or in equity that may be available to the Company
or you as provided herein or otherwise, you and the Company acknowledge and
agree that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of any covenant
contained in paragraph 9 above would be inadequate and monetary damages would be
difficult to calculate and that for any such breach or threatened breach, a
court of law may award an injunction, restraining order or other equitable
relief, restraining you from committing or continuing to commit such breach.
(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that if a final determination is
made by a court of law that the time or any other restriction contained in
paragraph 9 of this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against you, then
the provisions of paragraph 9 of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but
shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and to such other
maximum extent as such court may determine or indicate to be enforceable.
Alternatively, if any such court finds that any restriction contained in
paragraph 9 of this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be
amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
16. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. Except with respect to the attached General Release, the
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall have no
effect upon, and shall not impair the validity or enforceability of, any other
provision of this Agreement.

Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder (the "Code"). The parties agree that this Agreement will be amended
as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and any
Treasury pronouncements relating thereto in order to preserve the payments and
benefits provided hereunder to the extent possible without additional cost to
the Company.

the provisions of this Agreement, (excluding the General Release the "Letter
