Dear Sirs:
The United States Department of the Treasury (the Selling Stockholder) proposes, subject to
the terms and conditions stated herein and in the Equity Distribution Agreement, dated April 26,
2010 (the Distribution Agreement), among Citigroup Inc. (the Company), the Selling Stockholder
and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, to sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule I
hereto (the Underwriters), for whom you (the Representative) are acting as representative,
2,417,407,607 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value (the Purchased Shares).
This Underwriting Terms Agreement is entered into in accordance with Section 2(c) of the
Distribution Agreement applicable to a Principal Purchase or similar transaction in which the
Selling Stockholder agrees to sell the Shares directly to the Manager as principal. Capitalized
terms not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Distribution Agreement, and
the terms Underwriting Terms Agreement and Terms Agreement shall be used interchangeably to
refer to this agreement.
Solely in connection with the offer and sale of the Purchased Shares, each provision of the
Distribution Agreement is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and shall be deemed to
be part of this Underwriting Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provision had been set
forth in full herein; provided, however, that none of the Underwriters shall have any rights or
obligations under the Distribution Agreement or in connection with any transactions executed
thereunder prior to the date of this Underwriting Terms Agreement, except for the Representative in
its capacity as Manger under the Distribution Agreement.
Except for the representation in Section 1(a)(v)(B)(3) of the Distribution Agreement, each of
the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of
the date of this Underwriting Terms Agreement and at the
related Settlement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, for purposes of this
Underwriting Terms Agreement, references to the Manager in any provision of the Distribution
Agreement will be deemed to refer to the several Underwriters, except with respect to the specific
provisions of the Distribution Agreement listed on Schedule II hereto. With respect to the
documents required to be delivered to the Underwriters pursuant to Section 4(b), (c) and (d) of the
Distribution Agreement, such delivery date shall be the relevant Settlement Date only for purposes
of this Underwriting Terms Agreement.
A preliminary supplement and a final supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to the
Purchased Shares (the Preliminary Supplement and the Final Supplement, respectively), in the
form heretofore delivered to the Representative shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. If the Preliminary Supplement is being used to solicit offers to buy the Purchased
Shares, the term General Disclosure Package defined in Section 1(a)(iii) of the Distribution
Agreement shall be deemed to include, as of the relevant Time of Sale, the Prospectus (as amended
and supplemented at such Time of Sale), the Preliminary Supplement (as amended at such Time of
Sale) and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus then in use, considered together, and any use of
the term Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus in the Distribution Agreement (except when used
in the definition of General Disclosure Package as defined above) shall be deemed to include the
Final Supplement, each for purposes of this Underwriting Terms Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Distribution Agreement (except
for the representation in Section 1(a)(v)(B)(3) of the Distribution Agreement), which are
incorporated herein by reference, (a) the Selling Stockholder agrees to sell to the Underwriters
and the Underwriters agree to purchase from the Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, the
number of shares of the Purchased Shares set forth opposite their respective names at the time and
place and at the purchase price set forth in the Schedule I hereto, which shall also be the price
to the public of the Purchased Shares, and (b) the Company agrees that on the Settlement Date it
shall pay $42,304,633 to the Representative for the accounts of the Underwriters, by wire transfer
payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the Representative, as compensation for their
services performed hereunder, representing $0.0175 per Purchased Share. Any obligation of an
Underwriter to purchase the Purchased Shares from the Selling Stockholder shall also be subject to
the payment by the Company of the fee described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence.
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 Selling Stockholder on behalf of
any other Underwriter for Purchased Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter. Any such payment by
the Representative shall not relieve any such Underwriter of any of its obligations under this
Underwriting Terms Agreement. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for
any of the Purchased Securities to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters pursuant to
this Underwriting Terms Agreement and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in
the performance of its or their obligations under this Underwriting Terms Agreement, the
remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective
proportions which the amount of Purchased Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I
hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Purchased Securities set forth opposite the names of all
the remaining Underwriters) the Purchased Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate
amount of Purchased Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed
to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Purchased 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 Purchased Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters
do not purchase all the Purchased Securities, this Underwriting Terms Agreement will terminate
without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Selling Stockholder or the Company. In the
event of a default by any Underwriter as set in this paragraph, the Settlement Date shall be
postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representative shall determine
in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other
documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall relieve any
defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Selling Stockholder, Company and any
nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
Each Underwriter agrees that it will comply with the additional selling restrictions as set
forth in Schedule III hereof.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a
counterpart hereof, whereupon this Underwriting Terms Agreement, including those provisions of the
Distribution Agreement incorporated herein by reference, as amended hereby, shall constitute a
binding agreement among the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters.
Very truly yours, CITIGROUP INC. |

SCHEDULE III
European Economic Area
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the
Prospectus Directive, each underwriter has represented and agreed that with effect from and
including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Member State it has not
made and will not make an offer of Purchased Shares to the public in that Member State, except that
it may, with effect from and including such date, make an offer of Purchased Shares to the public
in that Member State:
(a) | at any time to legal entities which are authorised or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorised or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities; |
(b) | at any time to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than 43,000,000 and (3) an annual net turnover of more than 50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts; or |
(c) | at any time in any other circumstances which do not require the publication by us of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive. |
For the purposes of the above, the expression an offer of Purchased Shares to the public in
relation to any Purchased shares in any Member State means the communication in any form and by any
means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Purchased Shares to be offered so
as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Purchased Shares, as the same may
be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member
State and the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant
implementing measure in that Member State.
United Kingdom
Each underwriter has represented and agreed that it has only communicated or caused to be
communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to
engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000) in connection with the issue or sale of the Purchased Shares in circumstances in
which Section 21(1) of such Act does not apply to us and it has complied and will comply with all
applicable provisions of such Act with respect to anything done by it in relation to any Purchased
Shares in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
