    Holders of the TruPS will have no rights to appoint or remove the trustees of the Capital Trusts, who may be appointed, removed or replaced solely by Citigroup as the indirect or direct holder of all of the common securities of the Capital Trusts.


    Subject to the requirement of the Trustee to obtain the tax opinion described in the Indentures, the holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the TruPS will have the right to direct any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee. The holders also will have the right to direct the Trustee under the declaration to (i) direct any proceeding for any remedy available to the indenture trustee, or exercise any trust or power conferred on the indenture trustee, (ii) waive any past indenture event of default that is waivable under the relevant section of the relevant Indenture; (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul an acceleration of the maturity of the relevant Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the relevant Indenture where such consent is required.
 
Mergers, Consolidations or Amalgamations


    The Capital Trusts may, with the consent of its respective trustees and without the consent of the holders of the TruPS, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by a trust organized as such under the laws of any State; provided, that (i) such successor entity either (x) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Capital Trust under the TruPS or (y) substitutes for the TruPS other securities having substantially the same terms as the TruPS (the "Successor Securities"), so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the TruPS rank with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) Citigroup expressly acknowledges a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Trustee, in its capacity as the holder of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (iii) the TruPS or any Successor Securities are listed, or any Successor Securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or with another organization on which the TruPS are then listed or quoted, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not cause the TruPS (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the TruPS (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with respect to any dilution of the holders' interest in the new entity), (vi) such successor entity has a purpose identical to that of the Capital Trust, (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, the Capital Trust has received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent counsel to the Capital Trust experienced in such matters to the effect that, (A) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the TruPS (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with respect to any dilution of the holders' interest in the new entity), and (B) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, neither the Capital Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an "investment company" under the 1940 Act; and (viii) Citigroup guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Capital Trust shall not, except with the consent of holders of 100% in liquidation amount of the TruPS, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it, if in the opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters, such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or replacement would cause the Capital Trust or the Successor Entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

Additional Terms in the Indenture
Events of Default and Acceleration 
Events of default are: (i) failure of CGMH or Citigroup to pay required interest on any debt security of such series for 30 days;  (ii) failure of CGMH or Citigroup to pay principal, other than a scheduled installment payment to a sinking fund, on any debt security of such series when due; (iii) failure of CGMH or Citigroup to make any required scheduled installment payment to a sinking fund for 30 days on debt securities of such series;  (iv) failure of CGMH to perform for 90 days after notice any other covenant in the Indenture applicable to it other than a covenant included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than such series; and (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of CGMH, whether voluntary or not.  
Events of bankruptcy or insolvency or resolution proceedings relating to Citigroup will not constitute an event of default with respect to any series of debt securities. Similarly, any breach of a covenant in the Indenture by Citigroup (other than payment default) will not constitute an event of default with respect to any series of debt securities. Furthermore, it will not constitute an event of default with respect to any series of debt securities if the guarantee of the debt security by Citigroup ceases to be in full force and effect for any reason. Therefore, events of bankruptcy or insolvency or resolution proceedings relating to Citigroup (in the absence of any such event occurring with respect to CGMH) will not permit any of the debt securities to be declared due and payable. In addition, a breach of a covenant by Citigroup (including, for example, a breach of Citigroup’s covenants with respect to mergers, the sale of all or substantially all its assets or limitations on liens), other than payment default, will not permit any of the debt securities to be declared due and payable. 
If an event of default regarding debt securities of any series issued under the Indenture should occur and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of 25% in the principal amount of outstanding debt securities of such series may declare each debt security of that series due and payable. CGMH and Citigroup are required to file annually with the Trustee a statement of an officer as to the fulfillment by CGMH and Citigroup of its obligations under the Indenture during the preceding year. 
No event of default regarding one series of debt securities issued under the Indenture is necessarily an event of default regarding any other series of debt securities. For purposes of this section, “series” refers to debt securities having identical terms, except as to issue date, principal amount and, if applicable, the date from which interest begins to accrue. 
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will be entitled to control certain actions of the Trustee and to waive past defaults regarding such series. The Trustee generally will not be under any obligation to act at the request, order or direction of any of the holders of debt securities, unless one or more of such holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it. 
Limitation of Actions 
Before any holder of any series of debt securities may institute action for any remedy, except payment on such holder’s debt security when due, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of that series outstanding must request the Trustee to take action. Holders must also offer security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against liabilities incurred by the Trustee for taking such action.
16
#92909960v10    






Modification 
CGMH, Citigroup and the Trustee can enter into supplemental indentures to establish the form and terms of any series of debt securities without obtaining the consent of any holder of debt securities. CGMH, Citigroup and the Trustee may, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of a series that are affected by such modification, modify the Indenture or the rights of the holders of the securities of such series to be affected. 
No such modification may, without the consent of the holder of each security so affected: (i) extend the fixed date on which the principal or any installment of interest on any such securities is due and payable; (ii) reduce the rate of interest on such securities; (iii) reduce the principal amount of such securities; (iv) reduce the principal amount of any securities issued originally at a discount that would be due and payable upon a declaration of the acceleration of the maturity thereof;  (v) change the currency in which any such securities are payable; or (vi) impair the right to sue for the enforcement of any payment on or after the fixed date on which such payment is due and payable
In addition, no such modification may: (i) reduce the percentage of securities referred to above whose holders need to consent to the modification without the consent of such holders; or (ii) change the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee unless the Trustee agrees to such change.
