 Exhibit 10.1 
 SEPARATION AGREEMENT 
 This Separation Agreement (this
“Agreement”) is entered into by Gary T. Krenek (“Employee”) and Diamond Offshore Management Company (the “Company”). Employee and the Company are referred to individually herein as a “Party” and collectively
as the “Parties.” 
 WHEREAS, Employee and the Company entered into that certain Employment Agreement dated
December 15, 2006 (“Employment Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that Employee’s
employment with the Company shall terminate effective on May 3, 2016; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the
mutual promises, covenants and obligations contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Employee and the Company agree as follows: 

1. Separation of Employment. Employee’s employment with the Company shall end at the close of business on May 3, 2016
(the “Separation Date”). Employee shall resign all officer positions with the Company effective on the Separation Date. 
 2. Benefits. Subject to any applicable requirements of Sections 3 and 16 below, the Company shall pay or provide Employee the following: 

 

	 	(a)	Commencing on the Company’s first payroll period following the later of the Separation Date or effective date of the release described in Section 3 below (the
“Effective Date”), and continuing on subsequent regularly-scheduled payroll periods, but no less frequently than on a monthly basis, the Company will pay Employee 12 months of his current base salary (for a total of $458,609.00), less
withholdings and deductions in accordance with applicable law. In the event of Employee’s death prior to the full payment of such amount, the remaining unpaid amount shall be paid to Employee’s estate in a lump sum.

  

	 	(b)	 After the Separation Date, Employee’s eligibility for continuation of coverage under the Company’s group medical, dental and vision insurance
plans normally would be governed exclusively by the continuation coverage provisions of such plans and the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”). Pursuant to this Agreement, however, during any portion of the
period, beginning on the first day of the month immediately following the Separation Date and ending two years later, that Employee and his spouse/family participate in a Company group medical, dental or vision insurance plan through COBRA, the full
COBRA premium for such medical, dental and vision insurance coverage for Employee and his spouse/family dependents will be paid by the Company promptly to insure that such insurance coverage continues without interruption or lapse of coverage;
provided, however, that if the continued medical, dental and vision benefits are discriminatory so that such benefit would be taxable to Employee, then the premium will be paid by Employee on an after-tax basis and the Company shall reimburse
Employee for such payments in each following month so that such benefits will not be taxable to the Employee under Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s obligation to make
COBRA payments shall be discontinued to the extent Employee is eligible to receive comparable coverage from a subsequent employer and/or except to the extent the 

	 	
subsequent employer’s plan does not cover the pre-existing conditions of the Employee or a previously covered member of the Employee’s family. The Company and Employee agree that
Employee’s “qualifying event” for the purposes of COBRA coverage occurs on the Separation Date. 

  

	 	(c)	On the Separation Date, all unvested Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) awarded to Employee shall vest, and all of Employee’s vested stock options and
SARs shall be exercisable by him as provided for in the Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Option Plan”) and the award certificates related thereto. 

 

	 	(d)	Within 30 days after the later of the Separation Date and Effective Date, the Company will pay Employee a one-time payment of $37,500.00, less withholdings and
deductions in accordance with applicable law, as accrued special cash dividends applicable to unvested SARs that vest pursuant to Section 2(c). 

  

	 	(e)	Any amounts to which Employee is eligible under the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan shall be paid to Employee in accordance with the terms of that
plan. 

  

	 	(f)	The Company shall pay Employee a one-time payment, less withholdings and deductions in accordance with applicable law, as a prorated bonus payment for fiscal year 2016
under the Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan for Executive Officers (the “Bonus Plan”), to be paid on the same basis and at the same time that incentive payments for fiscal year 2016 are paid to other executive
officers of the Company under the Bonus Plan. 

  

	 	(g)	The Company shall pay Employee one-time payments, less withholdings and deductions in accordance with applicable law, as set forth below, upon and subject to the
accomplishment of the respective milestone event by Employee prior to the Separation Date. Each such payment earned by Employee shall be paid by the Company within 30 days after the later of the Separation Date and Effective Date.

  

	 	(i)	$140,000.00 upon the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 (the “Annual Report”) being completed and
timely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before February 29, 2016, in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations.

  

	 	(ii)	$140,000.00 upon completion of the following: 

  

	 	(1)	 The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm timely completing its audit of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of
December 31, 2015 and 2014, and its related consolidated statements of operation, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows 

  
 2 

	 	
for each of the three years ended December 31, 2015, for inclusion in the Annual Report, and delivering to the Company’s Board of Directors the firm’s report on such audit,
expressing the firm’s unqualified opinion, containing no exceptions, that the Company’s consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries at
such balance sheet dates and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and 

 

	 	(2)	The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm timely completing its audit, in accordance with the standards of the U.S. Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, and the firm timely delivering to the Company’s Board of Directors its report thereon that expresses an unqualified opinion, for
inclusion in the Annual Report. 

  

	 	(iii)	$50,000.00 upon the Company securing, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Chief Executive Officer, renewal of the Company’s commercial insurance policies
currently in force with its existing insurers, or new commercial insurance policies with the same or different insurers that provide for coverage reasonably comparable to the coverage under its existing policies and rates reasonably comparable to
such policies under the circumstances. 

  

	 	(iv)	$50,000.00 upon Employee being available to (1) instruct, mentor and transition his responsibilities to Employee’s successor as the new chief financial
officer of the Company (“Successor”), to the reasonable satisfaction of the Chief Executive Officer, such that Successor will be reasonably capable of functioning as the Company’s chief financial officer, including effectively
participating in the Company’s quarterly earnings conference calls; and (2) introduce Successor to at least seven of the Company’s top sell-side analysts at investment banking firms as the Company’s new chief financial officer.

  

	 	(v)	$50,000.00 upon Employee having attended (with Successor, if Successor is available) the Scotia Howard Weil Annual Energy Conference in New Orleans in March 2016, and
being available to introduce Successor to key buy-side analysts as the Company’s new chief financial officer. 

  

	 	(vi)	$50,000.00 upon Employee being available to introduce Successor as the Company’s new chief financial officer to applicable credit ratings analysts at Moody’s
Investors Services and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services. 

  

	 	(h)	 Nothing in this Agreement adversely affects any right Employee may have to: (i) base wages earned by Employee through the Separation Date, and
Employee shall be paid all such wages regardless of whether Employee signs this Agreement; (ii) earned, unused vacation, which will be paid by the Company after the Separation Date;
(iii)

  
 3 

	 	
reimbursement for documented and approved business expenses incurred by Employee through the Separation Date for which Employee has not been reimbursed; and (iv) continuation insurance
coverage pursuant to the terms of Company-provided insurance plans or applicable law. Employee acknowledges that, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Company does not have, and will not have, any obligation to provide Employee at any time in
the future with any payments, benefits or considerations other than those recited in Section 2 of this Agreement. Employee agrees that some of the payments and benefits described in this Section 2 are not required under the Company’s
normal policies and procedures, and they provide adequate consideration for this Agreement. 

 3. Condition of
Full General Release. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, except for payments and benefits required to made as provided by law or pursuant to the terms of a plan, the Company’s obligation to pay Employee the amounts and to make the
arrangements provided in Section 2 shall be conditioned upon Employee (or, if deceased or disabled, his estate or legal guardian) executing and delivering to the Company a complete and global valid waiver and release of claims relating to or
arising out of his employment with, and termination of employment from, the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or such other form acceptable to the Company (“Release”). Employee further acknowledges and agrees
that, in the absence of Employee’s execution and delivery to the Company of the Release, the Company shall have no obligation to Employee to make any payment or arrangement of such benefits as provided for in Section 2. 

4. No Admission of Wrongdoing. The existence and execution of this Agreement shall not be considered as an admission of any
wrongdoing, liability, violation, error, or omission by Employee or the Company. 
 5. Knowing and Voluntary Agreement.

	 	(a)	This Agreement is written in a manner that he understands. Under this Agreement, Employee is receiving things of value to which he would not otherwise be entitled to
receive. 

  

	 	(b)	He has been permitted and offered 21 days to consider and to sign this Agreement and he is hereby advised by the Company to consult with an attorney prior to executing
this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, Employee is not agreeing, or being requested to agree, to release or waive any claims under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act that may arise after the Effective Date. 

  

	 	(d)	He has received the opportunity to review and reflect on all terms of this Agreement, and has not been subject to any undue or improper influence interfering with the

 6. Return of Property. Employee represents that on or before the Separation Date, he
shall return all Company property and documents (including copies of any documents) in his possession or control, including any building keys, laptop computer, personal digital assistant, telephone calling card(s), credit card(s), forms, files,
manuals, correspondence, memoranda, notes, e-mail, plans, business records, reports, financial data or records, personnel data, contracts, contract information, training materials, product mix or recipes, lists of employees, salary and benefits
information (except relating to Employee), lists of suppliers and vendors, brochures, catalogs, computer tapes and diskettes or other portable media, computer-readable files and data stored on any hard drive anywhere or other installed or portable
device, passwords, data processing reports, reports or recordings in any electronic or physical format, and any and all other documents or property which Employee has obtained pursuant to or by virtue of his employment with the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that Employee shall be entitled to: (1) keep his cell phone and current cell phone number and (2) retain personal mementos. Employee will take reasonable steps to return all paper files and
delete all electronic files containing non-public Company documents, but the Company acknowledges that, given Employee’s tenure with the Company, Employee might later discover documents or data at his residence and/or on his personal
computer(s), which he agrees not to use for any purpose and to immediately destroy or delete. 
 7. Nondisparagement.

  

	 	(a)	Employee agrees that he will not make or cause to be made any oral or written statements that are derogatory, defamatory, disparaging or harmful concerning the Company,
its policies or programs, or its past or present officers, directors, employees, agents, or business associates, including its past or present suppliers or vendors, or take any actions that are harmful to the business affairs of the Company and/or
its employees. Employee further agrees that he will not make or cause to be made any oral or written statements regarding the Company’s Confidential Information to any third party, including the general public (for example, via postings or
publications on the internet), the media, financial analysts, auditors, institutional investors, consultants, suppliers, vendors, or business associates, or agents and/or representatives of any of the foregoing, unless such statement is:
(i) expressly authorized by the Company in writing, or (ii) required by law. This provision is a material and substantial term of this Agreement. 

 

	 	(b)	Employee shall direct any third parties seeking an employment reference for Employee to the Company’s Vice President — Human Resources, who shall only provide
Employee’s dates of employment and position held and the information contained in any public release, unless Employee directs that the Company can furnish additional information. 

8. Cooperation/Transition. 
  

	 	(a)	 Employee agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company and any of the other Released Parties (as defined below) in any matter related to the
Company’s business or activities, as follows: (i) to be available at mutually agreeable times, personally or by telephone, as necessary, at such reasonable times and without unreasonable interference with Employee’s employment or
personal activities, to provide such information and services as may be from time to time requested by the Company in connection with various matters in which Employee was involved during his employment with the

  
 5 

	 	
Company or matters about which Employee has knowledge and expertise; except that no such services shall exceed four hours in any week and Employee’s obligation to be available for such
information and services shall expire six months after the Separation Date; and (ii) in all pending and future litigation (including claims asserted with administrative agencies) involving the Company or any of the other Released Parties, which
obligation includes Employee promptly meeting with counsel for the Company or the other Released Parties at mutually agreeable and reasonable times upon their request and providing testimony in court or upon deposition that is truthful, accurate,
and complete, according to information known to Employee. Employee further agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any investigation or review by any federal, state or local regulatory authority relating to events or
occurrences that transpired while Employee was employed with the Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Released Parties” means Diamond Offshore Management Company, Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. and its/their past and present
parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies and its and their respective: (i) predecessors and successors; and (ii) past and present employees, owners, partners, shareholders, members, directors, officers, attorneys, assigns, agents, and
representatives, both individually and in their official capacities. 

  

	 	(b)	If Employee receives a subpoena seeking testimony, documents or information Employee may have related to the Company or any of its affiliates, Employee or
Employee’s attorney shall provide the Company with a copy of the subpoena prior to the date specified for compliance and no later than four business days following Employee’s receipt of it. In addition, as soon as possible prior to the
date of compliance required by such a subpoena, Employee shall notify the Company of the content of any information to be provided pursuant to such a subpoena and give the Company copies of all documents to be produced. 

 

	 	(c)	The Company shall reimburse Employee, upon receipt of proper documentation, for all reasonable and necessary expenses for air fare, accommodations, transportation,
meals and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Employee in providing the cooperation requested of him pursuant to this Section 8. 

 9. Confidential Information. Employee agrees that, unless otherwise required by law, Employee will forever keep secret and inviolate all Confidential Information which has come into Employee’s
possession, and Employee will not use the same for Employee’s own private benefit, or directly or indirectly for the benefit of others, and Employee will not disclose such Confidential Information to any other person. If Employee is legally
compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Employee shall provide the Company with prompt prior written notice of such legal
requirement so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Section 9. In any event, Employee may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which
Employee is advised by legal counsel is required, and Employee shall exercise Employee’s best efforts to obtain an order or assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information that is disclosed. For purposes of
this Agreement, all confidential or proprietary information concerning the business and affairs of the Company, including all trade secrets, 

  
 6 

 
knowhow and other information generally retained on a confidential basis by the Company concerning its products, methods, know-how, techniques, systems, software codes and specifications,
formulae, inventions and discoveries, business plans, pricing, product plans and the identities of and the nature of the Company’s dealings with its employees, suppliers and customers, whether or not such information shall, in whole or in part,
be subject to or capable of being protected by patent, copyright or trademark laws, shall constitute “Confidential Information.” Notwithstanding anything contained herein which may be to the contrary, the term “Confidential
Information” does not include any information which is excluded or excepted from the Employee’s obligations in Article 4.6 of the Employment Agreement. Employee will not disclose to any person (other than his tax, legal and financial
advisers who have a need to know) the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company. 
 10.
Agreement Not to Solicit Employees/Former Employees. Employee acknowledges and re-affirms his agreement in Article 4.7 of his Employment Agreement that for a period of two years after his Separation Date, Employee shall not, directly or
knowingly indirectly, either as an executive, employer, independent contractor, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, officer, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, either for his own benefit or the benefit
of any other person or entity: (a) solicit, recruit, induce, entice, encourage or in any way cause any officer, or manager reporting to such officer, holding such position at the time Employee ceases to be an employee of Company and who is or
was an employee of Company (or affiliate) within the six months prior to Employee’s Separation Date or thereafter to terminate his/her employment with Company (or such affiliate); or (b) directly solicit for hire, directly entice for hire,
hire, or directly recruit any officer, or manager reporting to such officer, toolpusher, rig superintendent or offshore installation manager (OIM) holding such position at the time Employee ceases to be an employee of Company and who is or was an
employee of Company within the six months prior to Employee’s Separation Date or thereafter. 
 11. Agreement Not to
Compete. Employee covenants and agrees that for a period of one year after his Separation Date, Employee shall not, individually or jointly with others, directly or indirectly, perform services for, prepare or take steps to prepare to perform
services for, or otherwise have any involvement with, in each case, whether as an officer, director, partner, consultant, security holder, owner, employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any entity that competes (whether directly or
indirectly) with the Company or its Subsidiaries in the Business (as hereinafter defined) in the world as of the date of the Separation Date (any such entity, a “Competitor”); provided, however, that Employee may in any event own up to a
2% passive ownership interest in any public entity or through a private, non-operating investment vehicle and may become employed by or otherwise affiliated with a Competitor if Employee works in a business unit thereof that does not compete with
the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the Business and Employee does not communicate about the Business with any employee in a business unit of such Competitor that does so compete with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes
hereof, the term “Business” shall mean the offshore oil and gas drilling business. Upon the written request of Employee, the Company’s President will reasonably determine whether a business or other entity constitutes a
“Competitor” for purposes of this Section 11; provided that the President may require Employee to provide such information as the Company reasonably determines to be necessary to make such determination; and provided, further that the
current and continuing effectiveness of such determination may be conditioned upon the accuracy of such information, and upon such other factors as the Company may reasonably determine. 

  
 7 

 12. Breach Causing Irreparable Harm. The terms of this Agreement are contractual and
not merely recitals. Employee agrees that a breach by Employee of Sections 9, 10 or 11 of this Agreement will result in irreparable harm to the Company, and as such, upon such breach, without limiting the Company’s right to seek injunctive
relief allowed by law in a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company may pursue a claim against Employee for any damages suffered by the Company as a result of such breach. Employee’s agreements in Section 10 and 11 shall be extended
for the period of time which Employee violates one or more of these agreements and/or during any period during which the Company appeals from an order refusing to enforce any of these agreements or covenants. The tolling or extension period shall
not exceed 12 months under any circumstances. 
 13. Reliance; Complete Agreement; Modification. Employee and the Company
acknowledge that in executing this Agreement they have not relied on any statements, promises or representations made by the other Party except as specifically memorialized in this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement of the
Parties on or in any way related to the subject matter addressed herein. The Parties further agree that this Agreement supersedes the Employment Agreement unless otherwise stated herein. Additionally, Article 5.11 of the Employment Agreement is
incorporated by reference into this Agreement only insofar as it prohibits employee from seeking employment with the Company in the future. This Agreement cannot be modified or rescinded except upon the written consent of both Employee and the
Company. 
 14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be
considered to be distinct and severable from the other provisions of this Agreement, and such unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
unenforceable as written but may be made enforceable by limitation, then such provision shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. No failure by either Party at any time to give notice of any breach by the other Party
of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. 

15. Governing Law; Venue; Jury Waiver. The Company and Employee agree that the law of Texas, without regard to conflicts of law
principles, shall exclusively govern any disputes between the Parties, including the validity, interpretation, and effect of this Agreement, as well as any other disputes arising out of or relating to the employment of Employee by the Company or the
termination of Employee’s employment. In the event of any such dispute between them, including any disputes arising out of this Agreement, Employee’s employment with the Company or work for the Company or the termination of Employee’s
employment, the Parties agree to exclusive, mandatory and sole jurisdiction and venue in Houston, Texas. The Parties agree and consent to have all such disputes resolved by a judge in the courts of Harris County, Texas. The Parties hereby waive all
challenges to personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts, including the claim or defense that such courts or locale constitute an inconvenient forum. The Parties agree that any disputes between them shall be adjudicated by a judge and,
therefore, the Parties waive a trial by jury. 
 16. Section 409A. 

 

	 	(a)	 Deferred Compensation. To the extent any payments or benefits under this Agreement constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A
of the Code and the regulations 

  
 8 

	 	
thereunder (collectively “Section 409A”), this Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and construed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. The portion of any
payment or benefit under this Agreement that is paid within the short-term deferral period or is otherwise exempt from Section 409A will not be treated as nonqualified deferred compensation and will not be aggregated with other nonqualified
deferred compensation plans or payments to the extent permitted under Section 409A. 

  

	 	(b)	Separate Payments and Payment Timing. Payment dates provided for in this Agreement will be deemed to incorporate grace periods that are treated as made upon a
designated payment date within the meaning of Section 409A and Treas. Regs. §1.409A-3(d). 

  

	 	(c)	General Section 409A Provisions. If Employee or the Company determines that any payments or benefits payable under this Agreement intended to comply with
Section 409A do not comply with Section 409A, Employee and the Company agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as Employee and the Company deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A (and any applicable relief provisions), while preserving the economic agreement of the Parties. If any provision of the Agreement would cause such payments or benefits to fail to so comply, such provision will not be effective and
will be null and void with respect to such payments or benefits, and such provision will otherwise remain in full force and effect. 

 All payments considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A and the regulations thereunder will be made on the date(s) provided herein and no request to accelerate or defer any
payment under this Section will be considered or approved for any reason whatsoever, except as permitted under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts payable hereunder which are not nonqualified deferred compensation, or which may
be accelerated pursuant to Section 409A, such as distributions for applicable tax payments, may be accelerated, but not deferred, at the sole discretion of the Company. 
 To the extent required to comply with Section 409A, all references in this Agreement to “separation of employment” or “separation” mean Employee’s “separation from
service” as that term is defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations. 
  

	 	(d)	Reimbursements and In-Kind Benefits. If any coverage (whether provided before or after Employee’s separation of employment) under medical, dental,
disability and/or life insurance plan, or the provision of any other benefit or perquisite, results in in-kind benefits or reimbursements to Employee that are (x) taxable for federal income tax purposes and (y) deferred compensation
subject to Section 409A, then such in-kind benefits or reimbursements shall be subject to the following rules: 

  

	 	(i)	The in-kind benefits to be provided, or the amounts to be reimbursed, shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the applicable benefit plan, and shall be limited, in
addition to any other applicable limitations, to Employee’s lifetime and the lifetime of Employee’s eligible dependents. 

  
 9 

	 	(ii)	The amounts eligible for reimbursement, or the in-kind benefits provided, during any calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the
in-kind benefits provided, in any other calendar year. 

  

	 	(iii)	Any reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.

  

	 	(iv)	Employee’s right to an in-kind benefit or reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for cash or another benefit. 

 

	 	(e)	Specified Employee Status. If Employee is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A) on the date of his separation from service, any payments
made with respect to such separation from service under this Agreement, and other payments or benefits under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A, will be delayed in order to comply with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and
such delayed payments or benefits will be paid in a lump sum upon expiration of such six-month period with all accrued interest calculated from the Separation Date until such lump sum payment and equal to the average six-month U.S. Treasury Rate for
the six-month period measured from the date of Employee’s separation from service. Any remaining payments and benefits due under the Agreement will be paid as otherwise provided in the Agreement. 

 

	 	(f)	Amounts Subject to Release. To the extent any amount payable hereunder is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and the
period during which Employee has discretion to execute or revoke the Release straddles two taxable years of Employee, then the Company will commence the payments and/or benefits in the second of such taxable years, and Employee may not, directly or
indirectly, designate the calendar year of any such payment. 

 Each of the undersigned acknowledges that he/it
(a) has read and fully understands all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) has had sufficient time to consider this Agreement and to consult about it with an attorney, and (c) is signing it knowingly, voluntarily and
willingly. This Agreement is effective once signed by both Parties and can be executed in multiple identical counterparts and via email and fax. Unless the context expressly requires otherwise, when used in this Agreement, the words
“includes” and “including” are not limiting and shall be interpreted as if the phrase “without limitation” immediately followed any such word. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement on the date specified below.

 CITIGROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person
under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $500,000,000 on May 1, 2026 and to pay interest thereon from and including May 2, 2016 or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually, on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing November 1, 2016 at the rate of 3.400% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available
for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record
Date for such interest, which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. 

 Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable
to the holder on such Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date, such subsequent Record Date to be not less than ten days prior to the date of payment
of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to holders of Notes of this series not less than ten days prior to such subsequent Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

Interest hereon will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

If either an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date or
Maturity will be the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement. If a date for payment of interest or principal on the Notes falls on a day that is not a business day in the place of payment,
such payment will be made on the next succeeding business day in such place of payment as if made on the date the payment was due. No interest will accrue on any amounts payable for the period from and after the due date for payment of such
principal or interest. For these purposes, “Business Day” means any day which is a day on which commercial banks settle payments and are open for general business in The City of New York. 

Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in The
City of New York. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further
provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon
has been executed by the Trustee or by an authenticating agent on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (the “Notes”),
issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of November 13, 2013 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the
“Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in
aggregate principal to $2,000,000,000. 
 If an event of default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to Notes of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

Sections 12.02 and 12.03 of the Indenture containing provisions for defeasance apply to this Note. At any time the entire indebtedness of
this Note may be defeased upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in Section 12.04 of the Indenture. 
 The
Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, to establish, among other things, the form and terms of any series of Securities issuable thereunder by one or more
supplemental indentures, and, with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities at the time outstanding which are affected thereby, to modify the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or the rights of the
holders of Securities of such series to be affected, provided that no such modification will (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities, reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, reduce the principal amount thereof or
the premium, if any, thereon, reduce the amount of the principal of Original Issue Discount Securities payable on any date, change the currency in which Securities are payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the maturity thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such modification
without the consent of the holders of all Securities of such series then outstanding, or (iii) modify the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee unless the Trustee agrees to such modification. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

This Note is a Global Security registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository. This Note is exchangeable for Notes registered in
the name of a person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances hereinafter described. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Notes in certificated form, this Note may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository. 

 The Notes represented by this Global Security are exchangeable for definitive Notes in
certificated form of like tenor as such Notes in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Notes and
the Company is unable to appoint a successor depository or (ii) the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (iii) the Company in its sole discretion decides to allow the Notes to
be exchanged for definitive Notes in registered form. Any Notes that are exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence are exchangeable for certificated Notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depository
shall direct. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of definitive Notes in certificated form is registrable in the register maintained by the Company in The City of New York for such
purpose, upon surrender of the definitive Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the registrar duly
executed by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. Subject to the foregoing, this Note is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security or Global Securities of this issue of the same principal amount to be registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Note for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company will pay additional amounts
(“Additional Amounts”) to the beneficial owner of any Note that is a non-United States person in order to ensure that every net payment on such Note will not be less, due to payment of U.S.
withholding tax, than the amount then due and payable. For this purpose, a “net payment” on a Note means a payment by the Company or a paying agent, including payment of principal and interest, after deduction for any present or future
tax, assessment or other governmental charge of the United States. These Additional Amounts will constitute additional interest on the Note. 

The Company will not be required to pay Additional Amounts, however, in any of the circumstances described in items (1) through (14) below.

  

	 	(1)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner:

  

	 	(a)	having a relationship with the United States as a citizen, resident or otherwise; 

  

	 	(b)	having had such a relationship in the past or 

  

	 	(c)	being considered as having had such a relationship. 

	 	(2)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner:

  

	 	(a)	being treated as present in or engaged in a trade or business in the United States; 

  

	 	(b)	being treated as having been present in or engaged in a trade or business in the United States in the past or 

  

	 	(c)	having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States. 

  

	 	(3)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld in whole or in part by reason of the beneficial owner
being or having been any of the following (as such terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended): 

  

	 	(a)	personal holding company; 

  

	 	(b)	foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt organization; 

  

	 	(c)	passive foreign investment company; 

  

	 	(d)	controlled foreign corporation or 

  

	 	(e)	corporation which has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax. 

  

	 	(4)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner owning or
having owned, actually or constructively, 10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company entitled to vote or by reason of the beneficial owner being a bank that has invested in a Note as an extension of
credit in the ordinary course of its trade or business. 

 For purposes of items (1) through (4) above, “beneficial owner” means a
fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a
fiduciary holder. 
  

	 	(5)	Additional Amounts will not be payable to any beneficial owner of a Note that is a: 

  

	 	(a)	fiduciary; 

  

	 	(b)	partnership; 

  

	 	(c)	limited liability company or 

  

	 	(d)	other fiscally transparent entity 

 or that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Note, or
any portion of the Note. However, this exception to the obligation to pay Additional Amounts will only apply to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor in relation to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited
liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the
payment. 

	 	(6)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the failure of the beneficial
owner or any other person to comply with applicable certification, identification, documentation or other information reporting requirements. This exception to the obligation to pay Additional Amounts will only apply if compliance with such
reporting requirements is required by statute or regulation of the United States or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge.

  

	 	(7)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is collected or imposed by any method other than by withholding from a
payment on a Note by the Company or a paying agent. 

  

	 	(8)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of a change in law, regulation, or
administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later. 

  

	 	(9)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the presentation by the beneficial owner
of a Note for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later. 

  

	 	(10)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any: 

  

	 	(a)	estate tax; 

  

	 	(b)	inheritance tax; 

  

	 	(c)	gift tax; 

  

	 	(d)	sales tax; 

  

	 	(e)	excise tax; 

  

	 	(f)	transfer tax; 

  

	 	(g)	wealth tax; 

  

	 	(h)	personal property tax or 

  

	 	(i)	any similar tax, assessment, withholding, deduction or other governmental charge. 

  

	 	(11)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from a payment of principal or
interest on a Note if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent. 

	 	(12)	Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is required to be made pursuant to any European Union directive on the
taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced to conform to, any such directive. 

  

	 	(13)	Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any withholding, deduction, tax, duty assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a failure by
the holder or beneficial owner of a Note (or any financial institution through which the holder or beneficial owner holds the Note or through which payment on the Note is made) to take any action (including entering into an agreement with the
Internal Revenue Service, or a governmental authority of another jurisdiction if the holder is entitled to the benefits of an intergovernmental agreement between that jurisdiction and the United States) or to comply with any applicable
certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement or agreement concerning accounts maintained by the holder or beneficial owner (or any such financial institution), or concerning ownership of the holder or beneficial owner, or
any substantially similar requirement or agreement. 

  

	 	(14)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any combination of items (1) through (13) above. 

Except as specifically provided herein, the Company will not be required to make any payment of any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of such government. 
 As used in this Note, “United
States person” means: 
  

	 	(a)	any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; 

  

	 	(b)	any corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States; 

  

	 	(c)	any estate if the income of such estate falls within the federal income tax jurisdiction of the United States regardless of the source of such income and 

 

	 	(d)	any trust if (i) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of the trust;
or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. 

Additionally, “non-United States person” means a person who is not a United States person,
and “United States” means the states of the United States of America and the District of Columbia, but excluding its territories and its possessions. 

Except as provided below, the Notes may not be redeemed prior to maturity. 

(1) The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes if: 
  

	 	(a)	the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described above; 

	 	(b)	the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises as a result of any change in the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States, or an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws,
regulations or rulings, which change is announced or becomes effective on or after April 26, 2016; and 

  

	 	(c)	the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to it, other than substituting the obligor under the
Notes or taking any action that would entail a material cost to the Company. 

  

	 	(2)	The Company may also redeem the Notes, at its option, if: 

  

	 	(a)	any act is taken by a taxing authority of the United States on or after April 26, 2016, whether or not such act is taken in relation to the Company or any affiliate, that results in a substantial probability that the
Company will or may be required to pay Additional Amounts as described above; 

  

	 	(b)	the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to it, other than substituting the obligor under the
Notes or taking any action that would entail a material cost to the Company and 

  

	 	(c)	the Company receives an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that an act taken by a taxing authority of the United States results in a substantial probability that the Company will or may be required to pay the
Additional Amounts described above, and delivers to the Trustee a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer, stating that based on such opinion the Company is entitled to redeem the Notes pursuant to their terms. 

Any redemption of the Notes as set forth in clauses (1) or (2) above shall be in whole, and not in part, and will be made at a redemption price equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. Holders shall be given not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior notice by the Trustee of the date fixed for such redemption. 

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The Notes are
governed by the laws of the State of New York.
