Re: Consulting Agreement

 

Dear
Bob:

 

This
letter sets forth the terms of the consulting arrangement between you and
Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), effective August 1, 2009 (the “Agreement”).

 

1.             Consulting
Services.  You agree to
provide consulting advice to Citigroup and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Citi”)
from time to time on projects agreed by you and me. The provision of this advice
is referred to in this Agreement as the “Services,” and shall in no event
include any consulting on any compensation matters whatsoever.  The Services, performed upon specific request
of senior management, are distinct from the services you provide as a member of
the Board of Directors of Citigroup Inc. or any committee thereof.  We expect to call upon you to perform the
Services for a minimum of approximately three weeks annually.

 

2.             Payment for
Services.  For Services
you performed from August through December, 2009, you shall be paid a fee
of $100,000.  Starting in 2010, you will
be paid for the Services at the rate of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($350,000) per year, payable quarterly in arrears.

 

3.             Expense
Reimbursement.  Expenses
incurred while performing services as a Director will be subject to reimbursement
under the Director expense policy.  To
the extent that your expenses incurred while performing the Services are not
covered by the Director expense policy, you will be reimbursed for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with performing the Services in
accordance with the Citi Expense Management Policy.

 

4.             Term.  The Agreement shall continue in effect through
December 31, 2010 (the “Term”). 
Either party to the Agreement may end the Term with or without cause upon
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party.  Fees for a partial year of Services shall be
pro-rated on a monthly basis.  The Term
may be extended upon mutual written agreement of the parties.

 

5.             Other
Business Activities.  During the
Term, it is expressly understood that you may engage in other business and
professional activities that are unrelated to the Services.  However, it is agreed that you shall not
engage in any activities that would compete with any of Citi’s business
operations.

 

6.             Additional
Provisions.  The attached
additional provisions are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

 

 

If
these terms are acceptable to you, please sign and return one copy of this
letter to me.

performance of the Services, including all copies thereof.

conditions specified in the applicable award documentation. A prospectus and
detailed information about the

Committee.

 

d)             Miscellaneous

 

This clause is not a promise or guarantee of employment with
the Company or any Associated Company for any definite period of time. This
clause is not intended to create or constitute a fixed term contract of
employment and does not affect the Company’s right to terminate your employment
at any time.

bonus, incentive, stock or retention awards will be paid to you in connection
with your employment with the Company.

 

It is agreed and understood that if awards (whether CAP,
equity, stock option or any other) are granted for several successive years in
respect of your employment with the Company, this shall not be construed as
constituting or creating an obligation upon the Company or any Associated
Company to provide similar or other awards in future years.

 

10.       Holidays and Holiday Pay

 

a)              The
Company’s holiday year runs from 1st January to 31st December inclusive.

termination of your employment, you will be entitled to holiday pay in lieu of
your accrued, untaken core holiday entitlement, but for complete months of

entitlement, the Company may deduct a day’s holiday pay for each excess day
taken from any sums owed to you by the Company or any Associated Company or require you to repay such an amount.

deductions.

birthday, subject to any request you may make to extend your employment beyond
the normal retirement age and the Company granting that request, in accordance
with the Company’s Retirement Policy. The Company’s Retirement Policy does not

operates on an automatic enrolment basis you will need to inform the Company if

to the Patents Act 1977, all intellectual property created or developed by you
during the course of your employment under this Contract (whether alone or in
conjunction with any third party) (‘‘Intellectual Property’’) shall belong to
and be the absolute property of the Company. You consent to waive any moral
rights relating to any existing or future works created by you during the
course of your employment under this Contract.

 

b)             You

such information, data, drawings, and assistance as may be required by the
Company to enable it to exploit the Intellectual Property in such manner as it
shall see fit and execute all such documents and do all such acts as the

to obtain other protection for the Intellectual Property in the Company’s sole
name in any part of the world and to vest all right, title and interest in and
to the Intellectual Property in the Company absolutely.

name for the purpose of giving to the Company or its nominee the full benefit
of the provisions of this clause.

 

e)              If
any Intellectual Property is not as a result of the Patents Act 1977 the
property of the Company, the Company shall subject to the Patents Act 1977 have
the right to acquire for itself or its nominee your rights in the same within
12 months after disclosure to the Company of the relevant Intellectual Property
on fair and reasonable terms to be agreed or settled by a single arbitrator
appointed by the Company.

 

f)                You
shall notify the Company immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised
use or disclosure of the Intellectual Property or any other intellectual
property belonging to the Company.

 

20.       Disciplinary and Appeals Procedure

 

a)              The
Company’s Disciplinary and Appeals Procedure applicable to your employment is
set out in the Citi Employee Handbook. This procedure is not contractual,
except to the extent required by statute.

21.       Grievance Procedure

 

If you have a grievance
relating to your employment there is a formal process through which problems
can be raised and resolved quickly. This process is called the Grievance
Procedure and is described in detail in the Citi Employee Handbook. This
procedure is not contractual, except to the extent required by statute.

 

22.       Data Protection

 

By signing this
Contract, you agree that the Company, any Associated Company and/or third
parties may in connection with your employment under this Contract (during and
after its termination), hold, use and otherwise process, firstly, personal data
relating to you and, secondly, sensitive personal data (as this term is used in
the Data Protection Act 1998) relating to you as set out in paragraphs a) to e)
below.

 

The approach that the
Company takes to data protection is as set out in the European Human Resources
Data Protection Policy in the Citi Employee Handbook. This policy is not
contractual and may be varied from time to time.

 

The Company and/or any
Associated Company is permitted under the Data Protection Act 1998 to process
personal data where that data is necessary for the performance of this
Contract, for compliance with its legal and compliance obligations and for the
purpose 

 

 

of its business and
other legitimate interests. In relation to sensitive personal data, the Company
and/or any Associated Company may process such data where necessary to exercise
or perform any legal right or obligation or to protect your vital interests
(life and death). The processing carried out by the Company and/or any
Associated Company may include, but will not be limited to:

 

a)              the
storage of such data in any medium including paper form and/or electronically;

 

b)             the
processing of your personal data and sensitive personal data by third parties
for the purpose of providing benefits to you;

 

c)              the
disclosure or transfer of your personal data and/or your sensitive personal
data outside the European Union to Citi companies and benefit providers;

 

d)             the
disclosure or transfer of your personal data and/or your sensitive personal
data to other employees of the Company, other Associated Companies, any other
persons or entities as may be reasonably necessary, or as otherwise required or
permitted by law;

 

e)              the
processing of personal data and sensitive personal data including details of
your physical and mental health, gender, race and ethnic origin, religious and
other beliefs (and any other data relevant for the purpose of monitoring or
furthering the Company’s equal opportunity policy).

 

Citi may also facilitate your participation in non
work-related schemes such as the Citi Volunteer Program or other similar
programs. The provision of such programs to employees means that your personal
data and other information related to your participation in such programs may
from time to time be transferred to and processed by Citi affiliates and
third parties involved in the administration and operation of such
schemes, which may be located outside of the EU.

 

23.                              Collective Agreements

 

There are no
collective agreements affecting your terms and conditions of employment.

 

24.                              Variation of Terms and Conditions

 

The Company
will keep the arrangements set out in this letter under periodic review and
reserves the right to amend your terms and conditions of employment from time
to time after discussion with you. You will be notified in writing of any
changes.

 

25.                              Miscellaneous

 

All clauses
capable of surviving termination of this Contract shall continue to apply after
this Contract is terminated, for whatever reason.

 

25.1                     Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the
contrary, to the extent that any payment or award granted under this Contract
or under any Company or Associated Company compensation plan or program (a “Citi
Plan”) is or becomes subject to Section 111 of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended, and any regulations, determinations or
interpretations that may from time to time be promulgated thereunder (“EESA”),
then any such payment or award of any kind must comply with EESA, and that this
Contract and any Citi Plan in which you participate shall be interpreted or
reformed to so comply.  If the making of any payment or award 

 

 

pursuant to
this letter or any Citi Plan would violate EESA, or if the making of such
payment or award may in the judgment of the Company or any Associated Company
limit or adversely impact the ability of the Company or any Associated Company
to participate in, or the terms of the Company’s or any Associated Company’s
participation in, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Capital Purchase
Program, or to qualify for any other relief under EESA, you shall be deemed to
have waived your right to such payment or award.  Any incentive award described in this Contract
may be subject to forfeiture or repayment if the award is based on performance
metrics that are materially inaccurate.  Further, the terms of this
Contract are subject to any applicable conditions, limitations, or restrictions
that may be imposed by any governmental or regulatory authority.

 

26.                              Definitions

 

For the
purposes of this Contract “Associated Company”
means a company which is from time to time a subsidiary or a holding company
(as those expressions are defined by Section 1159 of the Companies Act
2006 as amended) of the Company or a subsidiary (other than the Company) of a
holding company of the Company.

 

27.                              Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

 

This Contract
and the documents it refers to in respect of your employment with the Company
and any non-contractual obligations arising in relation to it should be
governed by and construed in all respects in accordance with English law and
the parties hereby agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English
courts.
