WHEREAS, it is desired to provide, as hereinafter set forth in this Deposit Agreement, for the deposit of shares of 8 1/2% Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series 21, without par value, of Citicorp with the Depositary for the purposes set forth in this Deposit Agreement and for the issuance hereunder of Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares in respect of the Stock so deposited; and WHEREAS, the Receipts are to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided in this Deposit Agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I Definitions The following definitions, in addition to the definitions included elsewhere in this Deposit Agreement, shall for all purposes, unless otherwise indicated, apply to the respective terms used in this Deposit Agreement: "Certificate" shall mean the certificate of designations filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware establishing the Stock as a series of preferred stock of the Company. "Company" shall mean Citicorp, a Delaware corporation, and its successors. "Deposit Agreement" shall mean this Deposit Agreement, as amended or supplemented from time to time. "Depositary" shall mean Citibank, N.A., and any successor as Depositary hereunder. "Depositary Shares" shall mean Depositary Shares, each representing a one-tenth interest in a share of Stock and evidenced by a Receipt. "Depositary's Agent" shall mean any agent appointed by the Depositary pursuant to Section 7.05. "Depositary's Office" shall mean the principal office of the Depositary in New York City, at which at any particular time its depositary receipt business shall be administered. "Receipt" shall mean one of the Depositary Receipts issued hereunder by the Depositary, whether in definitive or temporary form, evidencing interests held in Depositary Shares in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. If the context so requires, the term "Receipt" shall be deemed to include the DTC Receipt (as defined in Section 2.01 hereof). "record holder" as applied to a Receipt shall mean the person in whose name a Receipt is registered on the books of the Depositary maintained for such purpose. "Registrar" shall mean any bank or trust company which shall be appointed to register ownership and transfers of Receipts as herein provided. "Securities Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. "Stock" shall mean shares of the Company's 8 1/2% Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series 21, without par value. ARTICLE II Book-Entry Form, Form of Receipts, Deposit of Stock, Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Surrender and Redemption of Receipts SECTION 2.01. Book-Entry Form; Form and Transfer of Receipts. The Company and the Depositary shall make application to The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for acceptance of all or a portion of the Receipts for its book-entry settlement system. The Company hereby appoints the Depositary acting through any authorized officer thereof as its attorney-in-fact, with full power to delegate, for purposes of executing any agreements, certifications or other instruments or documents necessary or desirable in order to effect the acceptance of such Receipts for DTC eligibility, including but not limited to the FAST Balance Certificate Agreement between the Depositary and DTC (the "FAST Agreement"), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B. So long as the Receipts are eligible for book-entry settlement with DTC except as provided for in Section 2.09 of this Deposit Agreement, or unless otherwise required by law, all Depositary Shares to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange with book-entry settlement through DTC shall be represented by a single receipt (the "DTC Receipt") which shall be deposited with DTC (or its designee) evidencing all such Depositary Shares and registered in the name of the nominee of DTC (initially expected to be Cede & Co.). Citibank, N.A. or such other entity as is agreed to by DTC may hold the DTC Receipt as custodian for DTC. During any period in which any Depositary Shares are evidenced by the DTC Receipt except as expressly provided for in Section 2.09 of this Deposit Agreement, no person acquiring Depositary Shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange with book-entry settlement through DTC shall receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares. Ownership of beneficial interests in the DTC Receipt shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by (i) DTC or its nominee for such DTC Receipt, or (ii) institutions that have accounts with DTC. If DTC subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Receipts, the Company may instruct the Depositary regarding making other arrangements for book- entry settlement. In the event that the Receipts are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Receipts available in book-entry form, the Depositary shall provide written instructions to DTC to deliver to the Depositary for cancellation the DTC Receipt, and the Company shall instruct the Depositary to deliver to the beneficial owners of the Depositary Shares previously evidenced by the DTC Receipt definitive Receipts in physical form evidencing such Depositary Shares. Such definitive Receipts shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereafter provided. The beneficial owners of Depositary Shares shall, except as stated above with respect to Depositary Shares in book-entry form represented by the DTC Receipt, be entitled to receive Receipts in physical, certificated form as herein provided. The Receipts may be typewritten, in the case of the DTC Receipt, and otherwise shall, upon notice by the Company to the Depositary, be definitive Receipts which shall be engraved or printed or lithographed on steel-engraved borders and shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided. The DTC Receipt shall bear such legend or legends as may be required by DTC in order for it to accept the Depositary Shares for its book-entry settlement system. Until such time as the Receipts are so engraved or printed or lithographed in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Depositary, upon the written order of the Company or any holder of Stock, as the case may be, delivered in compliance with Section 2.02, shall execute and deliver temporary Receipts which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise substantially of the tenor of the definitive Receipts in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the persons executing such Receipts may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Receipts. After the preparation of definitive Receipts, the temporary Receipts shall be exchangeable for definitive Receipts upon surrender of the temporary Receipts at the Depositary's Office, without charge to the holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Receipts, the Depositary shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Receipts representing the same number of Depositary Shares as represented by the surrendered temporary Receipt or Receipts. Such exchange shall be made at the Company's expense and without any charge therefor to the holder of the Receipts. Until so exchanged, the temporary Receipts shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Deposit Agreement, and with respect to the Stock, as definitive Receipts. Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary, provided that such signature may be a facsimile if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depositary) shall have been appointed and such Receipts are countersigned by manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless it shall have been executed manually by a duly authorized officer of the Depositary or, if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depositary) shall have been appointed, by manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary and countersigned manually by a duly authorized officer of such Registrar. The Depositary shall record on its books each Receipt so signed and delivered as hereinafter provided. Receipts shall be in denominations of any number of whole Depositary Shares. Receipts may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement as may be required by the Depositary or required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Receipts are subject. Subject to any limitations set forth in a Receipt or in this Deposit Agreement, title to Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt which is properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument; provided, however, that until transfer of a Receipt shall be registered on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.04, the Depositary may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the record holder thereof at such time as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distributions of dividends or other distributions, the exchange of Depositary Shares for Stock, the right to exchange Receipts pursuant to Section 2.09 or to any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes. SECTION 2.02. Deposit of Stock; Execution and Delivery of Receipts in Respect Thereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Company or any holder of Stock may from time to time deposit shares of the Stock under this Deposit Agreement by delivery to the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for the Stock to be deposited, properly endorsed or accompanied, if required by law or the Depositary, by a duly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Depositary, together with all such certifications as may be required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, and together with a written order of the Company or such holder, as the case may be, directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in such order a Receipt or Receipts for the number of Depositary Shares representing such deposited Stock. Deposited Stock shall be held by the Depositary at the Depositary's Office or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine. Upon receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for Stock deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section, together with the other documents required as above specified, and upon recordation of the Stock on the books of the Company in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall execute and deliver, to or upon the order of the Company or a holder of Stock depositing shares of Stock in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section, a Receipt or Receipts for the number of Depositary Shares representing the Stock so deposited and registered in such name or names as may be requested by the Company or such holder. The Depositary shall execute and deliver such Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary's Office or such other offices, if any, as the Depositary may designate. Delivery at other offices shall be at the risk and expense of the person requesting such delivery. The DTC Receipt shall provide that it shall evidence the aggregate amount of Depositary Shares from time to time indicated in the records of the Depositary and that the aggregate amount of Depositary Shares evidenced thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased by making adjustments on such records of the Depositary. Other than in the case of splits, combinations or other reclassifications affecting the Stock, or in the case of dividends or other distributions of Stock, if any, there shall be deposited hereunder not more than 600,000 shares of Stock. SECTION 2.03. Redemption of Stock. Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem shares of Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate, it shall (unless otherwise agreed to in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not less than 40 nor more than 70 days' notice of the date of such proposed redemption of Stock and of the number of such shares held by the Depositary to be so redeemed and the applicable redemption price, as set forth in the Certificate, which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Company stating that such redemption of Stock is in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate. Such notice, if given more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, shall be in addition to the notice required to be given for redemption pursuant to the Certificate. On the date of such redemption, provided that the Company shall then have paid in full to the Depositary the redemption price of the Stock to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon from the immediately preceding dividend payment date to the date of redemption, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such Stock. The Depositary shall mail notice of such redemption and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the number of Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Stock and Depositary Shares (the "Redemption Date"), to the record holders of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed, at the addresses of such holders as they appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure to mail any such notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice to one or more such holders shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption as to other holders. Each such notice shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed and, if less than all the Depositary Shares held by any such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends in respect of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such Redemption Date. In case less than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed shall be selected by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the Depositary to be equitable. Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall have failed to redeem the shares of Stock to be redeemed by it as set forth in the Company's notice provided for in the preceding paragraph) all dividends in respect of the shares of Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, the Depositary Shares being redeemed from such proceeds shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding, all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the redemption price therefor) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate and, upon surrender in accordance with such notice of the Receipts evidencing any such Depositary Shares called for redemption (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed by the Depositary at a redemption price per Depositary Share equal to one-tenth of the redemption price per share paid in respect of the shares of Stock so redeemed plus all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares, including all amounts paid by the Company in respect of accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the date of redemption. If less than all the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt are called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the holder of such Receipt upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with the redemption payment, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption. SECTION 2.04. Registration of Transfer of Receipts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall register on its books from time to time transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by the holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer. Thereupon the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares as those evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered and deliver such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto. SECTION 2.05. Split-ups and Combinations of Receipts; Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Stock. Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary's Office or at such other offices as it may designate for the purpose of effecting a split-up or combination of such Receipt or Receipts, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt or Receipts in the authorized denomination or denominations requested, evidencing the aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. Any holder of a Receipt or Receipts representing any number of whole shares of Stock (or such holder's duly authorized attorney) may withdraw the Stock and all money and other property, if any, represented thereby by surrendering such Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary's Office or at such other offices as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals. If such holder's Depositary Shares are being held by DTC or its nominee pursuant to Section 2.01, such holder shall request, in accordance with Section 2.09, withdrawal from the book-entry system of the number of Depositary Shares specified in the preceding sentence. Thereafter, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to such holder, or to the person or persons designated by such holder as hereinafter provided, the number of whole shares of Stock and all money and other property, if any, represented by the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered for withdrawal, but holders of such whole shares of Stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such Stock hereunder or to receive Depositary Shares in exchange therefor. If a Receipt delivered by the holder to the Depositary in connection with such withdrawal shall evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of Depositary Shares representing the number of whole shares of Stock to be so withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such number of whole shares of Stock and such money and other property, if any, to be so withdrawn, deliver to such holder, or to the person or persons designated by such holder as hereinafter provided, a new Receipt evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares. Delivery of the Stock and money and other property being withdrawn may be made by the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depositary may deem appropriate. Stock delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement as may be required by the Depositary or required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Stock may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular shares of Stock are subject. If the Stock and the money and other property being withdrawn are to be delivered to a person or persons other than the record holder of the Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of Stock, such holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order so directing the Depositary and the Depositary may require that the Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such holder for withdrawal of such shares of Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer in blank. Delivery of the Stock and the money and other property, if any, represented by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal shall be made by the Depositary at the Depositary's Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the holder thereof, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such holder. SECTION 2.06. Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Surrender and Exchange of Receipts. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt, the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company may require payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Depositary or the Company shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any charges or expenses payable by the holder of a Receipt pursuant to Section 5.07 (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such charges and expenses have been paid), may require the production of evidence satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Company may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement. The deposit of Stock may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against Stock may be suspended, the registration of transfer of Receipts may be refused and the registration of transfer, surrender or exchange of outstanding Receipts may be suspended (i) during any period when the register of stockholders of the Company is closed or (ii) if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission or under any provision of this Deposit Agreement. SECTION 2.07. Lost Receipts, etc. In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depositary in its discretion may execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt, or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, upon (i) the filing by the holder thereof with the Depositary of evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of such destruction or loss or theft of such Receipt, of the authenticity thereof and of his or her ownership thereof and (ii) the furnishing of the Depositary with reasonable indemnification satisfactory to it. SECTION 2.08. Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts. All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary's Agent shall be cancelled by the Depositary. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Depositary is authorized to destroy all Receipts so cancelled. Any Receipt evidenced in book-entry form shall be deemed cancelled when the Depositary has caused the amount of Depositary Shares evidenced by the DTC Receipt to be reduced in proportion to the number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the surrendered Receipt. SECTION 2.09. Interchangeability of Book-Entry Receipts and Receipts in Physical, Certificated Form. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, upon receipt by the Depositary of written instructions from a DTC participant on behalf of any person having a beneficial interest in Depositary Shares evidenced by the DTC Receipt for the purpose of directing the Depositary to execute and deliver a Receipt in physical, certificated form evidencing such Depositary Shares, the Depositary shall follow the procedures set forth in the FAST Agreement for the purpose of reducing the number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the DTC Receipt and, following such reduction, shall execute and deliver to or upon the order of the person or persons named in such order a Receipt or Receipts registered in the name or names requested by such person and evidencing in the aggregate the number of Depositary Shares equal to the reduction in the number evidenced by the DTC Receipt. The Depositary may require in such written instructions any certification or representation as it shall deem necessary to comply with applicable law. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, upon receipt by the Depositary of a Receipt or Receipts in physical, certificated form, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Depositary, including any required certifications, and together with written instructions directing the Depositary to adjust its records to reflect an increase in the aggregate amount of Depositary Shares evidenced by the DTC Receipt (including, without limitation, information regarding the DTC participant account to be credited with such increase), and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary, the Depositary shall cancel such Receipt or Receipts in physical, certificated form and shall follow the procedures set forth in the FAST Agreement for the purpose of reflecting such increase in the number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the DTC Receipt. ARTICLE III Certain Obligations of Holders of Receipts and the Company SECTION 3.01. Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. Any holder of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file such proof of residence, or other matters or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties as the Depositary or the Company may reasonably deem necessary or proper. The Depositary or the Company may withhold the delivery, or delay the registration of transfer, redemption or exchange, of any Receipt or the withdrawal of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by any Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or other distribution or the sale of any rights or of the proceeds thereof until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties are made. SECTION 3.02. Payment of Taxes or Other Governmental Charges. Holders of Receipts shall be obligated to make payments to the Depositary of certain charges and expenses as provided in Section 5.07, or provide reasonably satisfactory evidence to the Depositary that such charges and expenses have been paid. Registration of transfer of any Receipt or any withdrawal of Stock and all money or other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be refused until any such payment due is made, and any dividends, interest payments or other distributions may be withheld or any part of or all the Stock or other property represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt and not theretofore sold may be sold for the account of the holder thereof (after attempting by reasonable means to notify such holder prior to such sale), and such dividends, interest payments or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to any payment of such charges or expenses, the holder of such Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency. SECTION 3.03. Warranty as to Stock. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Stock, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Stock and the issuance of the Receipts. SECTION 3.04. Warranty as to Receipts. The Depositary hereby represents and warrants that the Receipts, when issued, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Depositary, enforceable against the Depositary in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Stock and the issuance of the Receipts. ARTICLE IV The Deposited Securities; Notices SECTION 4.01. Cash Distributions. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 such amounts of such dividend or distribution as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders; provided, however, that in case the Company or the Depositary shall be required to withhold and shall withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be, only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any holder of Depositary Shares a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and be treated as part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to record holders of Receipts then outstanding. SECTION 4.02. Distributions Other than Cash, Rights, Preferences or Privileges. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash, rights, preferences or privileges upon Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 such amounts of the securities or property received by it as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among such record holders, or if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes) the Depositary deems, after consultation with the Company, such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, be distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to record holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Company shall not make any distribution of such securities unless the Company shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such securities have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be so registered. SECTION 4.03. Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. If the Company shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the persons in whose names Stock is recorded on the books of the Company any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance be made available by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts in such manner as the Depositary may determine, either by the issue to such record holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges or by such other method as may be approved by the Depositary in its discretion with the approval of the Company; provided, however, that (i) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or (after consultation with the Company) not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available to holders of Receipts by the issue of warrants or otherwise, or (ii) if and to the extent so instructed by holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, then the Depositary, in its discretion (with approval of the Company, in any case where the Depositary has determined that it is not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available), may, if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges permit such transfer, sell such rights, preferences or privileges at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, be distributed by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Company shall not make any distribution of any such rights, preferences or privileges unless the Company shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such rights, preferences or privileges have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be so registered. If registration under the Securities Act of the securities to which any rights, preferences or privileges relate is required in order for holders of Receipts to be offered or sold the securities to which such rights, preferences or privileges relate, the Company agrees with the Depositary that it will file promptly a registration statement pursuant to such Act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such registration statement shall have become effective, or unless the offering and sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act. If any other action under the laws of any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to holders of Receipts, the Company agrees with the Depositary that the Company will use its best efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. SECTION 4.04. Fixing of Record Date for Holders of Receipts. Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or if rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered, with respect to Stock, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders of Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of Stock are entitled to notice, or whenever the Depositary and the Company shall decide it is appropriate, the Depositary shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the Company with respect to the Stock) for the determination of the holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or who shall be entitled to notice of such meeting or for any other appropriate reasons. SECTION 4.05. Voting Rights. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the record holders of Receipts a notice which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and (ii) a statement that the holders may, subject to any applicable restrictions, instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of Stock represented by their respective Depositary Shares (including an express indication that instructions may be given to the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company) and a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of the holders of Receipts on the relevant record date, the Depositary shall vote or cause to be voted, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum number of shares of Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by all Receipts as to which any particular voting instructions are received. The Company hereby agrees to take all action which may be deemed necessary by the Depositary in order to enable the Depositary to vote such Stock or cause such Stock to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a Receipt, the Depositary will abstain from voting (but, at its discretion, not from appearing at any meeting with respect to such Stock unless directed to the contrary by the holders of all the Receipts) to the extent of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt. Holders of Receipts shall also be entitled to vote on certain amendments to the Deposit Agreement pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof. SECTION 4.06. Changes Affecting Deposited Securities and Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, etc. Upon any change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or any other reclassification of the Stock, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation affecting the Company or to which it is a party or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, the Depositary may in its discretion with the approval of, and shall upon the instructions of, the Company, and (in either case) in such manner as the Depositary may deem equitable, (i) make such adjustments as are certified by the Company in (x) the fraction of an interest represented by one Depositary Share in one share of Stock and (y) the ratio of the redemption price per Depositary Share to the redemption price of a share of Stock, in each case as may be necessary fully to reflect the effects of such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of Stock, or of such recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets and (ii) treat any securities which shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of the Stock as new deposited securities so received in exchange for or upon conversion or in respect of such Stock. In any such case the Depositary may in its discretion, with the approval of the Company, execute and deliver additional Receipts, or may call for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited securities. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, holders of Receipts shall have the right from and after the effective date of any such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of the Stock or any such recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to surrender such Receipts to the Depositary with instructions to convert, exchange or surrender the Stock represented thereby only into or for, as the case may be, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property and cash into which the Stock represented by such Receipts might have been converted or for which such Stock might have been exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction. SECTION 4.07. Inspection of Reports. The Depositary shall make available for inspection by holders of Receipts at the Depositary's Office, and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable, any reports and communications received from the Company which are received by the Depositary as the holder of Stock. SECTION 4.08. Lists of Receipt Holders. Promptly upon request from time to time by the Company, the Depositary shall furnish to it a list, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all persons in whose names Receipts are registered on the books of the Depositary. ARTICLE V The Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the Registrar and the Company SECTION 5.01. Maintenance of Offices, Agencies and Transfer Books by the Depositary; Registrar. Upon execution of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall maintain at the Depositary's Office, facilities for the execution and delivery, registration and registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of Receipts, and at the offices of the Depositary's Agents, if any, facilities for the delivery, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of Receipts, all in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall keep books at the Depositary's Office for the registration and registration of transfer of Receipts, and to reflect split-ups and combinations of Depositary Shares, which books at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the record holders of Receipts; provided, that any such holder requesting to exercise such right shall certify to the Depositary that such inspection shall be for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as an owner of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts. The Depositary may close such books only when the register of stockholders of the Company is closed. The Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, appoint a Registrar for registration of the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby. If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby or the Stock represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Depositary will appoint a Registrar (acceptable to the Company) for registration of such Receipts or Depositary Shares in accordance with any requirements of such Exchange. The Depositary shall initially act as Registrar. Such Registrar may be removed and a substitute registrar appointed by the Depositary upon the request or with the approval of the Company. If the Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Stock are listed on one or more other stock exchanges, the Depositary will, at the request of the Company, arrange such facilities for the delivery, registration, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of such Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Stock as may be required by law or applicable stock exchange regulation. SECTION 5.02. Prevention of or Delay in Performance by the Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the Registrar or the Company. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor the Company shall incur any liability to any holder of any Receipt if by reason of any provision of any present or future law, or regulation thereunder, of the United States of America or of any other governmental authority or, in the case of the Depositary, the Depositary's Agent or the Registrar, by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (including the Certificate) or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond the control of the relevant party, the Depositary, the Depositary's Agent, the Registrar or the Company shall be prevented or forbidden from, or subjected to any penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of this Deposit Agreement provide shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar or the Company incur any liability to any holder of a Receipt (i) by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which the terms of this Deposit Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Deposit Agreement except, in the case of any such exercise or failure to exercise discretion not caused as aforesaid, if caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the party charged with such exercise or failure to exercise. SECTION 5.03. Obligations of the Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the Registrar and the Company. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor the Company assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to holders of Receipts other than for its negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor the Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense and liability be furnished as often as may be required. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor the Company shall be liable for any action or any failure to act by it in reliance upon the written advice of legal counsel or accountants, or information from any person presenting Stock for deposit, any holder of a Receipt or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such information. The Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar and the Company may each rely and shall each be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote any of the shares of Stock or for the manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or non-action is in good faith and does not result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Depositary. The Depositary undertakes, and any Registrar shall be required to undertake, to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Deposit Agreement against the Depositary or any Registrar. The Depositary will indemnify the Company against any liability which may arise out of acts performed or omitted by the Depositary or the Depositary's Agents due to its or their negligence or bad faith. The Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, and any Registrar may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in Receipts. The Depositary may also act as transfer agent or registrar of any of the securities of the Company and its affiliates. SECTION 5.04. Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; Appointment of Successor Depositary. The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by notice of such removal delivered to the Depositary, such removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company shall, within 60 days after the delivery of the notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, appoint a successor Depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If no successor Depositary shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after delivery of such notice, the resigning or removed Depositary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Depositary. Every successor Depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor and for all purposes shall be the Depositary under this Deposit Agreement, and such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Company, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Stock and any moneys or property held hereunder to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor a list of the record holders of all outstanding Receipts. Any successor Depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to the record holders of Receipts. Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of such Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act, and notice thereof shall not be required hereunder. Such successor Depositary may authenticate the Receipts in the name of the predecessor Depositary or in the name of the successor Depositary. SECTION 5.05. Corporate Notices and Reports. The Company agrees that it will transmit, or will cause the Depositary to transmit, to the record holders of Receipts, in each case at the addresses furnished to it pursuant to Section 4.08, all notices and reports (including without limitation financial statements) required by law, by the rules of any national securities exchange upon which the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are listed or by the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (including the Certificate), to be furnished by the Company to holders of Stock. Such transmission will be at the Company's expense. SECTION 5.06. Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent and any Registrar against, and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, liability or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending itself) which may arise out of (a) acts performed or omitted in connection with this Deposit Agreement and the Receipts (i) by the Depositary, any Registrar or any of their respective agents (including any Depositary's Agent), except for any liability arising out of negligence or bad faith on the respective parts of any such person or persons, or (ii) by the Company or any of its agents, or (b) the offer, sale or registration of the Receipts or the Stock pursuant to the provisions hereof. The obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 5.06 shall survive any succession of any Depositary, Registrar or Depositary's Agent. SECTION 5.07. Charges and Expenses. The Company shall pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. The Company shall pay all charges of the Depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the Stock, the initial issuance of the Depositary Shares and any redemption of the Stock at the option of the Company and all withdrawals of shares of the Stock by owners of Depositary Shares. All other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges shall be at the expense of holders of Depositary Shares. The Depositary may refuse to effect any transfer of a Receipt or any withdrawal of Stock evidenced thereby until all such taxes and charges with respect to such Receipt or Stock are paid by the holder thereof. If a holder of Receipts requests the Depositary to perform duties not required under this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall notify the holder of the approximate cost of the performance of such duties. If such duties are subsequently performed at the request of such holder, such holder will be liable for such charges and expenses. All other charges and expenses of the Depositary and any Depositary's Agent hereunder and of any Registrar (including, in each case, fees and expenses of counsel) incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder will be paid upon consultation and agreement between the Depositary and the Company as to the amount and nature of such charges and expenses. The Depositary shall present its statement for charges and expenses to the Company once every three months or at such other intervals as the Company and the Depositary may agree. ARTICLE VI Amendment and Termination SECTION 6.01. Amendment. The form of the Receipts and any provisions of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that no such amendment (other than any change in the fees of any Depositary, Registrar or Transfer Agent, which shall go into effect not sooner than three months after notice thereof to the holders of the Receipts) which shall materially and adversely alter the rights of the holders of Receipts shall be effective unless such amendment shall have been approved by the holders of at least a majority (or, in the case of amendments relating to or affecting rights of the holders of Receipts to receive dividends or distributions, or voting or redemption rights, two-thirds) of the Depositary Shares then outstanding. Every holder of an outstanding Receipt at the time any such amendment becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such Receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. SECTION 6.02. Termination. This Deposit Agreement may be terminated by the Company or the Depositary only (i) after all outstanding Depositary Shares shall have been redeemed pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) after there shall have been made a final distribution in respect of the Stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and such distribution shall have been distributed to the holders of Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02, as applicable, or (iii) upon the consent of holders of Receipts representing not less than two- thirds of the Depositary Shares then outstanding. Whenever the Deposit Agreement has been terminated pursuant to (iii) above, the Depositary will mail notice of such termination to the record holders of all Depositary Shares then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in that notice for termination of the Deposit Agreement. If any Depositary Shares remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary thereafter will discontinue the transfer of Depositary Shares, will suspend the distribution of dividends to the owners thereof, and will not give any further notices (other than notice of such termination) or perform any further acts under this Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary will continue (i) to collect dividends on the Stock and any other distributions with respect thereto, (ii) to deliver or cause to be delivered shares of Stock, together with such dividends and distributions, or principal and interest, and the net proceeds of any sales of rights, preferences, privileges or other property (other than real property) in exchange for Depositary Shares surrendered. At any time after the expiration of three years from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell the Stock then held by it at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it deems proper and may thereafter hold the net proceeds of any such sale, without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the owners of the Depositary Shares which have not theretofore been surrendered. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any monies set aside by the Company in respect of any payment with respect to the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares, or dividends thereon, and unclaimed at the end of three years from the date upon which such payment is due and payable shall revert to the general funds of the Company, after which reversion the holders of such Depositary Shares shall look only to the general funds of the Company for the payment thereof. Upon the termination of this Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent and any Registrar under Sections 5.06 and 5.07.

CITICORP By: Michael T. Nugent Vice President CITIBANK, N.A. as Depositary By: John Reasor Assistant Vice President EX-2 3 EXH. 2.2 CERT. OF DESIG Exhibit 2.2 CITICORP ___________ CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware _____________ 8 1/2% NONCUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES 21 (Without Par Value) ______________ CITICORP, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), HEREBY CERTIFIES that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, which authorize the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock without par value, and by the Stock Committee of the Board of Directors, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Stock Committee of the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, by Article 5, Section 1 of the By-Laws of the Corporation and by resolutions of the Board of Directors at meetings of the Board of Directors duly held on March 21, 1989, October 16, 1990, September 17, 1991, January 19, 1993 and April 19, 1994, at a meeting of the Stock Committee of the Board of Directors duly held on February 6, 1995: RESOLVED, that the issue of a series of preferred stock without par value of this Corporation is hereby authorized and the designation, powers, preferences and privileges, relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, in addition to those set forth in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation, are hereby fixed as follows: 8 1/2% NONCUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES 21 (1) Number of Shares and Designation. 600,000 shares of the preferred stock without par value of the Corporation are hereby constituted as a series of preferred stock without par value designated as "8 1/2% Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series 21" (hereinafter called the "Preferred Stock, Series 21"). (2) Dividends. (a) The holders of shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be entitled to receive cash dividends, as, if and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") or by the Stock Committee of said Board of Directors (the "Stock Committee"), out of funds legally available for that purpose, at the rate set forth below in this Section (2) applied to the amount of $250 per share. Such dividends shall be payable quarterly, as, if and when declared by the Board of Directors or by the Stock Committee on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 1995. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 30 nor less than 15 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors or the Stock Committee. Dividends on Preferred Stock, Series 21 shall not be cumulative and no rights shall accrue to the holders of Preferred Stock, Series 21 by reason of the fact that the Corporation may fail to declare or pay dividends on the Preferred Stock, Series 21 in any amount in any year, whether or not the earnings of the Corporation in any year were sufficient to pay such dividends in whole or in part. (b) Dividend periods ("Dividend Periods") shall commence on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year (other than the initial Dividend Period which shall commence on the date of original issue of the Preferred Stock, Series 21) and shall end on and include the calendar day next preceding the first day of the next Dividend Period. The dividend rate on the shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, for the period from the date of original issue thereof to but not including May 15, 1995 will be $5.3125 per share of Preferred Stock, Series 21 and such dividends shall be payable on May 15, 1995. For each Dividend Period thereafter the dividend rate on the shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21 shall be 8 1/2% per annum. The amount of dividends payable for each full Dividend Period for the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be computed by dividing the dividend rate of 8 1/2% per annum by four and applying the resulting rate of 2.125% to the amount of $250 per share. The amount of dividends payable for any period shorter or longer than a full Dividend Period on the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Unless otherwise required by law, dividends payable with respect to each share of Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be rounded to the nearest one cent, with $.005 being rounded upward. Holders of shares called for redemption on a redemption date between a dividend payment record date and the dividend payment date shall not be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such dividend payment date. (c) So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, are outstanding, no full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the preferred stock of the Corporation of any series ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with or junior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, for any period unless full dividends for the Dividend Period immediately preceding the date of payment of such full dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Preferred Stock, Series 21. When dividends are not paid in full, as aforesaid, upon the shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, and any other preferred stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Preferred Stock, Series 21, all dividends declared upon shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, and any other preferred stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity as to dividends (whether dividends on such other preferred stock are cumulative or noncumulative) with the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on the Preferred Stock, Series 21, and such other preferred stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21 (but without any cumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior Dividend Periods on the Preferred Stock, Series 21 and any other noncumulative preferred stock) and such other preferred stock bear to each other. Holders of shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21 shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full dividends, as herein provided, on the Preferred Stock, Series 21. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment on the Preferred Stock, Series 21 which may be in arrears. (d) So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21 are outstanding, no dividend (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, as to dividends and upon liquidation and other than as provided in subsection (c) of this Section (2)) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment or other distribution declared or made upon any stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock, Series 21, as to dividends or upon liquidation, nor shall any stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock, Series 21, as to dividends or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, as to dividends and upon liquidation) unless, in each case, the full dividends for the immediately preceding Dividend Period on all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall have been paid or set apart for payment and the Corporation is not in default with respect to any redemption of shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, announced by the Corporation pursuant to Section (4) below. (3) Liquidation Preference. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of any series or class or classes of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of the shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be entitled to receive $250 per share plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon from the immediately preceding dividend payment date (but without any cumulation for unpaid dividends for prior Dividend Periods on the Preferred Stock, Series 21) to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other preferred stock ranking, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on a parity with the Preferred Stock, Series 21, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, and any such other preferred stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, and any such other preferred stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section (3), a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary. (b) Subject to the rights of holders of shares of any series or class or classes of stock ranking on a parity with or prior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Preferred Stock, Series 21, as provided in this Section (3), but not prior thereto, any other series or class or classes of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, upon liquidation shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall not be entitled to share therein. (4) Redemption. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Section (4), the Preferred Stock, Series 21, may not be redeemed prior to February 15, 2000. At any time or from time to time on and after February 15, 2000, the Corporation, at its option, may, with prior Federal Reserve Board approval to the extent then required by applicable law, redeem shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, in whole or in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price of $250 per share, together in each case with accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) from the immediately preceding dividend payment date (but without any cumulation for unpaid dividends for prior Dividend Periods on the Preferred Stock, Series 21) to the date fixed for redemption. (b) Prior to February 15, 2000, the Corporation, at its option, may, with prior Federal Reserve Board approval to the extent then required by applicable law, redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of the Series 21, Preferred Stock, out of funds legally available therefor if the holders of the shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be entitled to vote upon or consent to a merger or consolidation of the Corporation as provided in Section 11 below and all of the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) the Corporation shall have requested the vote or consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, to the consummation of such merger or consolidation, stating in such request that failing the requisite favorable vote or consent the Corporation will have the option to redeem the Preferred Stock, Series 21, (ii) the Corporation shall not have received the favorable vote or consent requisite to the consummation of the transaction within 60 days after making such written request (which shall be deemed to have been made upon the mailing of the notice of any meeting of holders of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, to vote upon such merger or consolidation or the mailing of the form of written consent to be signed by such holders), and (iii) such transaction shall be consummated on the date fixed for such redemption, which date shall be no more than one year after such request is made. Any such redemption shall be on notice as set forth in subsection (c) of this Section 4 at a redemption price of $250 per share of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, together with accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, from the immediately preceding dividend payment date (but without any cumulation for unpaid dividends for prior Dividend Periods on the Preferred Stock, Series 21) to the date fixed for redemption. (c) In the event the Corporation shall redeem shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, notice of such redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock register of the Corporation. Each such notice shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (5) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the redemption date (unless default shall be made by the Corporation in providing money for the payment of the redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid dividends from the immediately preceding dividend payment date to the date of redemption) dividends on the shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive from the Corporation the redemption price) shall cease. The Corporation's obligation to provide moneys in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the redemption date, the Corporation shall deposit with a bank or trust company (which may be an affiliate of the Corporation) having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, having a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, funds necessary for such redemption, in trust, with irrevocable instructions that such funds be applied to the redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, so called for redemption. Any interest accrued on such funds shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. Any funds so deposited and unclaimed at the end of two years from such redemption date shall be released or repaid to the Corporation, after which the holder or holders of such shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the funds necessary for such redemption. Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the certificates for any shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the applicable redemption price aforesaid, together with accrued and unpaid dividends from the immediately preceding dividend payment date to the date of redemption. If less than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof. (d) In no event shall the Corporation redeem less than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section (4) unless full dividends shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment upon all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, for the Dividend Period immediately preceding the date of redemption. (5) Shares to be Retired. All shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, purchased or redeemed by the Corporation shall be retired and cancelled and the Board of Directors shall cause to be taken all action necessary to restore such shares to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation as to series, and such shares may thereafter be issued, but not as shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21. (6) Conversion or Exchange. The holders of shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall not have any rights herein to convert such shares into or exchange such shares for shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of any class or classes of capital stock (or any other security) of the Corporation. (7) Ranking. Any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (i) prior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, as to dividends or as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if holders of such class shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Preferred Stock, Series 21; (ii) on a parity with the Preferred Stock, Series 21, as to dividends or as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, if the holders of such class of stock and the Preferred Stock, Series 21 (whether or not such class of stock is cumulative or noncumulative as to payment of dividends) shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation prices, without preference or priority one over the other (except with respect to the cumulation of dividends on such class of stock); and (iii) junior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if such stock shall be common stock or if the holders of Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such stock. Accordingly, the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be deemed to rank on a parity with all other series of preferred stock of the Corporation (whether or not such other series of preferred stock is cumulative or noncumulative as to payment of dividends) outstanding on the date on which this Certificate of Designations is first filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. (8) Exclusion of Other Rights. Unless otherwise required by law, shares of Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall not have any rights, including preemptive rights, or preferences other than those specifically set forth herein or as provided by applicable law. (9) Notices. All notices or communications, unless otherwise specified in the By-Laws of the Corporation or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered in person or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid to the holders of record of the Preferred Stock, Series 21. Notice shall be deemed given on the earlier of the date received or the date such notice is mailed. (10) Record Holders. The Corporation and the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, Series 21, may deem and treat the record holder of any share of such Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. (11) Voting Rights. Except as hereinafter set forth in this Section (11) or as otherwise from time to time required by law, the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall have no voting rights. Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be in arrears for such number of consecutive dividend periods, which shall in the aggregate contain not less than 540 days, the holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall have the exclusive right, voting separately as a class with holders of shares of any one or more other series of preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock, Series 21, either as to dividends (whether or not such other series of preferred stock is cumulative or noncumulative as to payment of dividends) or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up and upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, to elect two directors of the Corporation at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders. At elections for such directors, each holder of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other series of preferred stock ranking on such a parity being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of preferred stock held as may be granted to them). Upon the vesting of such right of such holders, the maximum authorized number of members of the Board of Directors shall automatically be increased by two and the two vacancies so created shall be filled by vote of the holders of such outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21 (either alone or together with the holders of shares of any one or more series of preferred stock ranking on such a parity) as hereinafter set forth. The right of such holders of such shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, voting separately as a class, to elect (together with the holders of shares of any one or more series of preferred stock ranking on such a parity) members of the Board of Directors as aforesaid shall continue until such time as all dividends on the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall have been paid in full for at least one year, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders voting as a class shall terminate immediately. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. Whenever the term of office of the directors elected by such holders voting as a class shall end and the special voting powers vested in such holders as provided in this Section (11) shall have expired, the number of directors shall automatically be decreased to such number as may be provided for in the By-Laws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions of this Section (11). So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, outstanding at the time (voting separately as a class together with all other series of preferred stock ranking on a parity with such series either as to dividends (whether or not such other series of preferred stock is cumulative or noncumulative as to payment of dividends) or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up and upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any special or annual meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (a) The authorization, creation or issuance, or any increase in the authorized or issued amount, of any class or series of stock ranking prior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, or (b) The amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or of the resolution contained in this Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock, Series 21, and the powers, preferences and privileges, relative, participating, optional and other special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof which would materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized preferred stock or the creation and issuance of other series of preferred stock, or any increase in the amount of authorized shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, or of any other series of preferred stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Preferred Stock, Series 21, with respect to the payment of dividends (whether or not such other series of preferred stock is cumulative or noncumulative as to payment of dividends) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers. The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, Series 21, shall have been redeemed or sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption, scheduled to be consummated within three months after such time. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Designations to be signed by Michael T. Nugent, a Vice President, and attested by Gregory J. Koczanski, an Assistant Secretary, this 9th day of February, 1995. CITICORP By:__________________________ Michael T. Nugent Vice President Attest: ___________________________ Gregory J.
