Ladies and Gentlemen:
Citigroup Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), proposes
to issue and sell to the underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you
(the “Representative”) are acting as representative, 35,000,000 units of Tangible Dividend Enhanced
Common Stock (“T-DECS”) of the Company (the “Securities”). Each Security has a stated amount of
$100 (the “Stated Amount”) and consists of (1) a prepaid stock purchase contract (each, a “Purchase
Contract”) under which the holder has purchased and the Company will agree to automatically deliver
on December 15, 2012 (the “Purchase Contract Settlement Date”), subject to acceleration in
connection with any early settlement of such Purchase Contract pursuant to the provisions thereof
and of the Purchase Contract Agreement (the “Purchase Contract Agreement”), to be dated as of the
Closing Date (as defined herein), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as purchase
contract agent (the “Purchase Contract Agent”), a number of shares of common stock (the “Issuable
Common Stock”) of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), determined pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Contract and the Purchase Contract Agreement and (2) a junior
subordinated amortizing note with an initial maturity date of December 15, 2012 (each, an
“Amortizing Note”) issued by the Company, each of which will have an initial principal amount of
$20.284 and will pay equal quarterly installments of $1.875, which in the aggregate would be
equivalent to a 7.50% cash distribution per year on the Stated Amount per Security.
The Amortizing Notes will be issued pursuant to a junior subordinated indenture, dated as of
July 23, 2004 (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of
New York Mellon, as successor trustee to X.X. Xxxxxx Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”). The
Purchase Contracts will be issued pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement. The Indenture and
the Purchase Contract are referred to herein collectively as the “Securities Agreements”.
The Company wishes to confirm as follows its agreement with you and the other Underwriter
listed on Schedule I on whose behalf you are acting, in connection with the purchases of the
Securities by the Underwriters. Any reference herein to the Registration
Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be
deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12
of Form S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date of the
Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the
Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or
“supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any
document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue
date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may
be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Certain terms used herein are defined in
Section 21 hereof.
1. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. The Company hereby agrees, subject to all the
terms and conditions set forth herein, to issue and sell to each Underwriter and, upon the basis of
the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and subject to all
the terms and conditions set forth herein each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to
purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $97.50 per Security, the number of Securities set
forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto.
2. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer
the Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final
Prospectus.
3. Delivery of the Securities and Payment Therefor. Delivery to the Underwriters of,
and payment for, the Securities shall be made at the office of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx
LLP, Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on December 22,
2009 (the “Closing Date”). The place of closing for the Securities and the Closing Date may be
varied by agreement between you and the Company.
Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the Representative for the respective accounts of
the Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters directly or through the Representative
of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Company by wire transfer payable in
same-day funds to an account specified by the Company. Delivery of the Securities shall be made
through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representative shall otherwise
instruct.
It is understood that the Representative, acting individually and not in a representative
capacity, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment to the Company on behalf of any other
Underwriter for Securities to be purchased by such Underwriter. Any such payment by the
Representative shall not relieve any such Underwriter of any of its obligations hereunder.
4. Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the Underwriters that:
(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any
amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement to any Preliminary
2
Prospectus or the Final Prospectus unless the Company has furnished the Representative a copy
for their review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to
which they reasonably object. The Company will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and
any supplement thereto, to be filed in a form acceptable to the Representative with the Commission
pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will
provide evidence satisfactory to the Representative of such timely filing. The Company will
promptly advise the Representative (1) when the Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall
have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (2) when, prior to termination of the
offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or
become effective, (3) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the
Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional
information, (4) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (5) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company
will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any
such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance,
occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order
or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the
Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its best efforts to have such
amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.
(b) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any
event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, the Company will
(i) notify promptly the Representative so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it
is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such
statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as
you may reasonably request.
(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered
under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule
172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or
if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or
supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules
thereunder, including in connection with use or delivery of the Final Prospectus, the Company
promptly will (i) notify the Representative of such event, (ii) prepare and file with the
Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or
supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect
such compliance, (iii) use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or
new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in order to avoid any
disruption in use of the Final Prospectus and (iv) supply any
3
supplemented Final Prospectus to the Representative in such quantities as the Representative
may reasonably request.
(d) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders
and to the Representative a consolidated earnings statement or statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.
(e) Upon request, the Company will furnish to the Representative and counsel for the
Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits
thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits
thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by
the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172),
as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representative may reasonably request. The Company
will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the offering
that are required to be prepared, furnished or delivered by the Company.
(f) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale
under the laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Representative reasonably may
designate, will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of
the Securities and will pay any fee of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (as successor to
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.), in connection with its review of the
offering; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to
service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the
Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
(g) (i) The Company agrees that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be,
the prior written consent of the Representative, and (ii) each Underwriter, severally and not
jointly, agrees with the Company that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be,
the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to
the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise
constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company
with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433, other than the press release issued
December 14, 2009 announcing the offering of the Securities (the “December 14 Press Release”), the
investor presentation dated December 14, 2009 announcing the offering of the Securities (the
“Investor Presentation”), the press release issued December 16, 2009 announcing the final terms of
the Securities (the “December 16 Press Release” and, together with the December 14 Press Release,
the “Press Releases”) and the Final Term Sheet (as defined below). The Press Releases, the
Investor Presentation, the Final Term Sheet and any such free writing prospectus consented to by
the Representative or the Company are each hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each
Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and
will comply, as the case may be, with
4
the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus,
including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.
(h) For a period of 60 days from the date of the Final Prospectus, the Company will not,
without the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might
reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective
economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the
Company or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company), directly or
indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with
the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or
decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any other
shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock, or publicly announce and intention to effect any such transactions, except
for (i) the offering of the Securities and Issuable Common Stock, (ii) the concurrent offering of
Common Stock by the Company scheduled to close on the Closing Date, (iii)issuances and sales of
Common Stock pursuant to any employee stock option plan, stock ownership plan, dividend
reinvestment plan or similar plan of the Company and (iv) the issuance of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants outstanding on the date hereof.
(i) The Company will comply with all applicable securities and other laws, rules and
regulations, including, without limitation, the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and use its best
efforts to cause the Company’s directors and officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with
such laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Sarbanes
Oxley Act of 2002.
(j) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would
constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or
otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate
the sale or resale of the Securities, except that the Company makes no agreement as to the
activities of any Underwriter.
(k) The Company will reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, the
maximum number of shares of Issuable Common Stock issuable under the Purchase Contract Agreement.
(l) The Company shall use its best efforts to furnish to the Representative a letter addressed
to the Representative substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto from each of the persons listed
in Exhibit B hereto.
(m) The Company will prepare a final term sheet, containing a description of final terms of
the Securities and the offering thereof (the “Final Term Sheet”), in a form approved by the

Rule.

to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:
(a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and has prepared and
filed with the Commission an automatic shelf registration statement, as defined in Rule 405 (File
No. 333-157459), including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the
offering and sale of the Securities. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto
filed prior to the date hereof, became effective upon filing. The Company may have filed with the

Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b). As filed, such Final Prospectus shall contain all
information required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the
Representative shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in
the form furnished to you prior to the date hereof or, to the extent not completed by the date
hereof, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that
contained in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company has advised you,
prior to the date hereof, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, as of the

supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the respective rules thereunder; on each
Effective Date and on the date hereof, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; on the Effective Date
and on the Closing Date, the Indenture did or will comply in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules thereunder; and on the date of any
filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus (together with any
supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no
representations or warranties as to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which shall
constitute the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act
of the Trustee or (ii) the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or
the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the
Representative specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or
any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by
or on behalf of any Underwriters consists of the information described as such in Section 6 hereof.
6
(c) The execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Company and its obligations
under, this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by the Company, and this Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

under, the Purchase Contracts and the Purchase Contract Agreement have been duly and validly

(e) The Issuable Common Stock issuable upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts has been duly
authorized by the Company and, when issued upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; the board of directors of the Company or an
authorized committee thereof has duly and validly adopted resolutions reserving such shares of
Issuable Common Stock for issuance upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts; and the holders of
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are not entitled to preemptive or other rights
to subscribe for the underlying Purchase Contracts or the shares of Issuable Common Stock issuable
upon settlement thereof; and, except as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final
Prospectus, no options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other obligations to
issue, or rights to convert any obligations into or exchange any securities for, shares of capital
stock of or ownership interests in the Company are outstanding.
(f) As of the date hereof, the Disclosure Package and the Final Term Sheet, when taken
together as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in
or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use
therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of
any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 6 hereof.
(g) (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent
amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such

required by Rule 456(b)(1) without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with
Rules 456(b) and 457(r).
(h) (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company
or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) of
the Securities and (ii) as of the date hereof (with such date being used as the
7
determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Company was not and is not an
Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405), without taking account of any determination by the
Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an
Ineligible Issuer.
(i) No Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes any information that conflicts with the
information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated therein
and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.
The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any
Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed
that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the
information described as such in Section 6 hereof.
(j) The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and

Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.
Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Representative or
counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed a
representation and warranty by the Company, as to matters covered thereby, to each Underwriter.
6. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors,
officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls or is under common
control with any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any
and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may
become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the
Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such
indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter
through the Representative specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
8
(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and
each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to
the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with
reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on
behalf of such Underwriter through the Representative specifically for inclusion in the documents
referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements
set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and,
under the heading “Underwriting”, (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation
in the sale of the Securities, (iii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (iv)
the paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus constitute the
only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriters for inclusion in any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing
of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not
relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not
otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party
of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party
from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in
paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the
indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party
in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not
thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the
indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall
be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to
appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall
bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel
chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with
a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii)
the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such
action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of
any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect
of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
9
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from
all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 6 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company
and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating
or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters
may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the
Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any (i) Underwriter (except as may be provided
in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for
any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities
purchased by such Underwriter hereunder or (ii) Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated (the “Independent
Underwriter”) in its capacity as “qualified independent underwriter” (within the meaning of NASD
Conduct Rule 2720 adopted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)) be responsible
for any amount in excess of the compensation received by the Independent Underwriter for acting in
such capacity. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for
any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company
on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits
received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering
(before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be
deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth
on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Benefits received by the Independent Underwriter in its
capacity as “qualified independent underwriter” shall be deemed to be equal to the compensation
received by the Independent Underwriter for acting in such capacity. Relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of
the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes
of this Section 6, each person who controls or is under common control with an Underwriter within
the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of
an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who
controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the
Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms
and conditions of this paragraph (d).
10
(e) Without limitation of and in addition to its obligations under the other paragraphs of
this Section 6, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Independent Underwriter, its
directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls or is under common control
with the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against
any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which it may become
subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon the Independent Underwriter’s acting as a “qualified independent
underwriter” (within the meaning of NASD Conduct Rule 2720 as adopted by FINRA) in connection with
the offering contemplated by this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party,
as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such

properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from
transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of
which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the
Representative after consultation with the Company, so material and adverse as to make it
impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as
contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure
Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus.

9. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided
for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Company set forth in
Section 7 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 12 hereof or
because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement
herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the
Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representative on
demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that
shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the
Securities.
10. Default by Underwriters. If any one Underwriter shall fail to purchase and pay
for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and such failure to
purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the
remaining Underwriter shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective
proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto
bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the name of the remaining
Underwriter) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase;
provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which
the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount
of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to
purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such
nondefaulting Underwriter does not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate
without liability to the nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by
any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such
14
period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representative shall determine in order that
the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other
documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any
defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter
for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
11. Selling Restrictions. Each Underwriter agrees that it will comply with the
additional selling restrictions as set forth in Schedule II hereof.
12. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the
absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and
payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Company’s Common
Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum
prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been
declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any
outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or
war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in
the sole judgment of the Representative after consultation with the Company, impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Final
Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
13. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements,
representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of
the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or
any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 6
hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 6
and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

obligation hereunder.
16. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby acknowledges that (i) the purchase and sale
of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial
15
transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate
through which it may be acting, on the other, (ii) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not

Australia
This prospectus is not a formal disclosure document and has not been lodged with the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”). It does not purport to contain all
information that an investor or their professional advisers would expect to find in a prospectus
for the purposes of Chapter 6D.2 of the Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxx 0000 (Act) in relation to the
T-DECS or Citigroup.
This prospectus is not an offer to retail investors in Australia generally. Any offer of
T-DECS in Australia is made on the condition that the recipient is a “sophisticated investor”
within the meaning of section 708(8) of the Act or a “professional investor” within the meaning of
section 708(11) of the Act. If any recipient does not satisfy the criteria for these exemptions, no
applications for the T-DECS will be accepted from that recipient. Any offer to a recipient in
Australia, and any agreement arising from acceptance of the offer, is personal and may only be
accepted by the recipient.
If a recipient on-sells their T-DECS within 12 months of their issue, that person will be
required to lodge a disclosure document with ASIC unless either:
| • | the sale is pursuant to an offer received outside Australia or is made to a “sophisticated investor” within the meaning of 708(8) of the Act or a “professional investor” within the meaning of section 708(11) of the Act; or |
| • | it can be established that Citigroup issued, and the recipient subscribed for, the T-DECS without the purpose of the recipient on-selling them or granting, issuing or transferring interests in, or options or warrants over them. |
Bahamas
This prospectus in connection with the offer of T-DECS by Citigroup has not been registered

broker-dealer or securities investment advisor licensed by the Securities Commission of the Bahamas
and in compliance with Bahamian exchange control regulations.
Brazil
The issuance of the T-DECS has not been and will not be registered with the Brazilian Comissão

6,385/76, as amended, and Instruction No. 400, issued by the CVM on December 29, 2003, as amended.
Since the offering of the T-DECS is not a public offering of securities in Brazil, documents

supplied to the public in Brazil, nor be used in connection with any offer for subscription or sale
of the T-DECS in Brazil, except in circumstances that do not constitute a public offering,

Brazilian legislation. Persons wishing to offer or acquire the T-DECS within Brazil should consult
with their own counsel as to the applicability of registration requirements or any exemption
therefrom.

its recipient and are not to be distributed to any third party resident or located in Italy for any

solely with qualified investors and such T-DECS are then systematically resold to non-qualified
investors on the secondary market at any time in the 12 months following such placement. Should
this occur without the publication of a prospectus, and outside of the application of one of the
exemptions referred to above, retail purchasers of T-DECS may have their purchase declared void and
claim damages from any intermediary which sold them the T-DECS.
