(e) any security held through a foreign securities intermediary other than Euroclear or Clearstream; or
 
(f) any security (other than asset-backed security) issued by an entity that is not a U.S. Person; or
 
(g) any asset-backed security that is secured by ultimate underlying assets that are obligations of non-U.S. Persons, the aggregate value of which is more than 15% of the total value of all ultimate underlying assets securing such security (whether or not such security is issued by a U.S. Person) which calculation may be determined on the basis of the prospectus or other offering document to the extent the information is contained therein; or
 
(h) any asset-backed security that is issued by an entity that is not a U.S. Person, unless either:

5.2           Post-Signing Confirmation Process.  (a)  Not later than the 90th calendar day after the date hereof, Citigroup shall prepare and deliver to the U.S. Federal Parties an updated Schedule A hereto setting forth in complete and final form the information required to be provided on such schedule (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any necessary changes to  Baseline Values).  Each of the U.S. Federal Parties shall review the updated schedule and Citigroup hereby agrees that the U.S. Federal Parties shall have the right, within 120 calendar days after receipt of such updated schedule, to object to any of the following: (i) the inclusion of any asset on Schedule A purporting to be a Covered Asset on grounds that such asset fails to meet one or more of the Covered Asset Criteria or that such Covered Asset is listed more than once on Schedule A; (ii) the identification of any Covered Asset on Schedule A as either a Residential Covered Asset or a Non-Residential Covered Asset on grounds that such asset was improperly categorized; (iii) the Baseline Value assigned to any Covered Asset on grounds that such amount was improperly calculated pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof; (iv) the inclusion of any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitment on Schedule A hereto on grounds that such commitment fails to satisfy the definition of “Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitment”; (v) the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Commitment Value assigned to any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitment or Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitment set forth on Schedule A on grounds that such value was improperly determined; or (vi) the inclusion of Covered Assets the aggregate Baseline Values of which, when taken together with the aggregate Baseline Values of all other Covered Assets and the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Commitment Values of all the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitments and Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitments, exceed $301,000,000,000; in each case by delivering written notice of their objections to Citigroup and proposing amendments to Schedule A (any such objection, a “U.S. Federal Objection”).
 
(b)           Citigroup shall review any U.S. Federal Objection in good faith.  Within 30 calendar days of its receipt of any U.S. Federal Objection, Citigroup shall deliver a notice to the U.S. Federal Parties either accepting such U.S. Federal Objection or disagreeing with such U.S. Federal Objection and specifying the nature of its disagreement.  If Citigroup fails to deliver a notice of disagreement within 30 calendar days of its receipt of any U.S. Federal Objection, it shall be deemed to have accepted such U.S. Federal Objection and to have consented to any amendment of Schedule A proposed in such U.S. Federal Objection.
 
(c)           Each of the U.S. Federal Parties and Citigroup shall seek to resolve any U.S. Federal Objection expeditiously and in good faith.  Citigroup shall provide the U.S. Federal Parties with access to such books, records, working papers and employees as the U.S. Federal Parties may request in connection with the resolution of any U.S. Federal Objection.  If the parties reach agreement with respect to any U.S. Federal Objection, they shall amend Schedule A to reflect such agreement.  If the parties are unable to resolve any U.S. Federal Objection within 30 calendar days of commencing good faith negotiations, the U.S. Federal Objection shall prevail and Schedule A shall be amended consistent with such U.S. Federal Objection.
 
(d)           If as a consequence of either (x) any necessary changes to the Baseline Value or (y) any U.S. Federal Objection that results in an amendment to Schedule A that removes assets listed as “Covered Assets” or otherwise decreases the aggregate Baseline Value thereof, the aggregate Baseline Value of all Covered Assets is reduced, then within 30 calendar days after such amendment, Citigroup shall have the right to substitute or add, as the case may be, new assets that qualify as Covered Assets up to the amount of any such decrease; provided such assets are acceptable to the U.S. Federal Parties acting in good faith; and provided, further, that such decrease does not result from a U.S. Federal Objection pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(iii) or (vi).  Following any such substitution or addition of new assets, such assets shall be subject to this Master Agreement and shall be deemed to be “Covered Assets” in all respects.
 
(e)           The Citigroup Deductible and the number of shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock to be issued to Treasury and FDIC in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby were
 
17

 
 
determined on the basis of the U.S. Federal Parties’ respective assessments of the risks associated with the Covered Assets included in Schedule A (including through a preliminary actuarial analysis by Treasury for purposes of ascertaining compliance with Section 102(c)(3) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008).
 
(f)           Once the final contents of Schedule A have been confirmed, with such adjustments thereto as may be necessary, in accordance with this Section 5, the U.S. Federal Parties shall in good faith review the assessment of projected life time losses, taking into account any such adjustments of Covered Assets included on such Schedule (but disregarding, in assessing the projected life time loss for any Covered Asset with an Effective Time on January 15, 2009, any losses occurring prior to January 15, 2009).  The results of the assessment to be conducted during the confirmatory process shall be used by the U.S. Federal Parties in good faith by taking the projected life time loss for the Covered Assets and subtracting out the Citigroup Deductible as in effect on the date of this Agreement (taking into account any changes to the amount of reserves included in the Citigroup Deductible as a result of the confirmation process but excluding the amount agreed by the parties hereto prior to the date of this Agreement as contributed in exchange for the release of Hedge Agreements).  The U.S. Federal Parties' loss projections for the Covered Assets shall be devised in good faith and in their sole discretion by:
 
(A)           projecting life time losses under conservative assumptions in a base case (as opposed to a stress case) from a November 21, 2008 perspective;
 
(B)           employing, where applicable depending on the asset class, methods including econometric modeling, analysis of collateral-specific attributes and historical performance, third-party market qualitative and quantitative research, discounted cash-flow analysis, examination of indentures and other deal documents, stratification and statistical analysis of Citigroup portfolios, and historical asset class performance at Citigroup and generally in the industry;
 
(C)           conducting one or more meetings and discussions with Citigroup to provide Citigroup a reasonable opportunity to explain (x) Citigroup’s loss projections for each asset class, and (y) general Citigroup management practices, underwriting, and loss mitigation approaches for each asset class; and
 
(D)           using overall methodology consistent with the methodology used by the U.S. Federal Parties to set the original Citigroup Deductible.
 
After finishing the foregoing calculation, the U.S. Federal Parties shall notify Citigroup of the result, including the loss projections for the Covered Assets.  If this calculation results in a positive number, adjustments shall be made, in direct proportion to any increased projected loss, to the Citigroup Deductible or to the composition of the Covered Assets as identified on such Schedule in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(d), or additional loss protection shall be provided in another form acceptable to the U.S. Federal Parties.  The decision as to how best to effect the adjustments or additions described in this section (i.e., through increase to the Citigroup Deductible, change in pool composition or otherwise) shall be made in consultation with Citigroup.   For the avoidance of doubt, there will not be any downward adjustment to the Citigroup Deductible.
 
(g)           After such adjustments or additions are made in accordance with Section 5.2 (f) the projected loss analysis shall be used by Treasury in making a final actuarial calculation as required by such Section 102(c)(3).  After taking into account any such adjustments or additions, and after Treasury consults with FDIC, Citigroup shall issue such additional shares of preferred stock as are necessary to ensure Treasury’s compliance with Section 102(c)(3)), as determined by Treasury, to Treasury.   In the event that Citigroup issues additional shares of preferred stock to Treasury as provided for in this paragraph, Citigroup shall also issue to FDIC that number of shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock as may be necessary to cause the ratio of shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock owned by each of Treasury and
 
18

 
 
FDIC after the issuances under this Section 5.2(g) to equal the ratio that existed prior to such issuances.  Citigroup shall also issue Treasury a warrant to purchase common stock for an aggregate exercise value of 10% of the Citigroup Preferred Stock issued to Treasury pursuant to this paragraph.

Citigroup shall issue (1) to each of Treasury and FDIC additional shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation value equal to the product of  (x) the dividends that would have accrued on the shares of Citigroup Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 5.2 from November 21, 2008 to the date of issuance of such shares had such shares been issued on November 21, 2008, and (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the Adjusted Baseline Value of the Covered Assets having an effective Time of  November 21, 2008 and the denominator of which is the Adjusted Baseline Value of all covered Assets, and (2) to Treasury a warrant to purchase common stock for an aggregate exercise value of 10% of the Citigroup Preferred Stock issued to Treasury pursuant to Section 5.2.
 
5.3           Other Exclusions.  If at any other time during the term of this Master Agreement any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity or any of the U.S. Federal Parties becomes aware of the existence of any asset improperly included as a “Covered Asset”, such Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity or U.S. Federal Party (as applicable) shall promptly report the same to the other parties hereto, Schedule A shall be amended as appropriate and all actions required under Section 5.4 shall be taken.  
 
5.4           Effects of Exclusion.  In the event any adjustment is made to Schedule A pursuant to this Section 5 and the FRBNY Available Amount or any purported Loss or Covered Loss is subsequently determined, on the basis of any such adjustment pursuant to this Section 5, to have been improperly calculated, all calculations previously made under this Master Agreement shall be recalculated promptly to the extent necessary to put the parties in the same economic position they would been in had the FRBNY Available Amount, Loss or Covered Loss been properly calculated.  If Citigroup has received funds in excess of the amount to which it would have otherwise been entitled from any of the U.S. Federal Parties, it shall promptly reimburse each of the relevant U.S. Federal Parties in the amount of such excess; provided, that if Citigroup shall be unable to reimburse each of the relevant U.S. Federal Parties in full, it shall reimburse them in the order of priority specified in Section 7.2.  It is understood that in the event any asset has been pledged by Citigroup to FRBNY pursuant to Section 10.3(d) that is subsequently determined to have been improperly included as a “Covered Asset,” FRBNY shall have no obligation to release its lien on such asset until such time as it shall have been reimbursed in full to the extent required under this Section 5.4.
 
5.5           Foreign Assets.  Within 30 calendar days of any Calendar Quarter in which Citigroup incurs a Loss, Citigroup shall review and confirm that no Covered Asset consisting of an asset-backed security in respect of which a Loss was incurred in such Calendar Quarter was a “Foreign Asset” within clause (g) of the definition of that term as of the last day of such Calendar Quarter.  If Citigroup identifies any such asset-backed security as a “Foreign Asset”, it shall promptly report the same to the other parties hereto.  For purposes of calculating any Loss hereunder in respect of such Covered Asset incurred prior to the FRBNY Funding Date (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any Loss or Post Coverage Period Loss subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date), Citigroup shall only be entitled to claim an amount of Loss equal to the same percentage of the full amount of the Loss incurred on such Covered Asset as the aggregate value of the underlying assets securing such security that are obligations of U.S. Persons is of the total value of all ultimate underlying assets securing such security.     
 
SECTION 6.  DETERMINATION OF COVERED LOSSES
 
6.1           Quarterly Calculations.  Within 30 calendar days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Citigroup shall calculate, in each case in accordance with this Section 6: (a) the Adjusted Baseline Value of each Covered Asset as of the end of such Calendar Quarter; (b) the aggregate Losses incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of each Covered Asset in such Calendar Quarter; (c) the aggregate Recoveries received by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of each Covered
 
19

 
 
Asset in such Calendar Quarter; (d) the aggregate Gains recognized by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of each Covered Asset in such Calendar Quarter; and (e) the Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss and the Covered Loss (if any) incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in such Calendar Quarter.  
 
6.2           Adjusted Baseline Value.  As of any date of calculation, the “Adjusted Baseline Value” of each Covered Asset shall be equal to: (a) the Baseline Value of such Covered Asset plus (b) in the case of any Covered Loan, the Baseline Value of any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitment Advances made in respect of such Covered Loan subsequent to the Effective Time minus (c) all Losses incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities on such Covered Asset subsequent to the Effective Time minus (d) all principal payments and fees received with respect to such Covered Asset subsequent to the Effective Time minus (e) all Hedging Proceeds received by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of such Covered Asset subsequent to the Effective Time; provided that (i) no increase to “Adjusted Baseline Value” shall be made to reflect any amounts specified in clause (b) at any time subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date and (ii) at no time shall any increase to “Adjusted Baseline Value” be made pursuant to clause (b) to the extent, as a result of such increase, the aggregate Adjusted Baseline Values of all Covered Assets, when taken together with the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Commitment Values of all the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitments and Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Wholly Unfunded Commitments, would exceed $301,000,000,000.  The “Adjusted Baseline Value” of any Replacement Covered Asset shall initially be determined in accordance with Section 6.8 hereof, and thereafter in accordance with this Section 6.2.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that in no event shall Adjusted Baseline Value be increased for any accretion of value of a Covered Accrual Basis Asset.
 
6.3           Losses.  A “Loss” in respect of any Covered Asset shall be equal to (as applicable and without duplication): (a) the amount of any Charge-Off (up to a maximum of the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset) taken on such Covered Asset by a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity subsequent to the Effective Time; (b) with respect to any Covered Asset Disposed of by a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity in a Permitted Disposition subsequent to the Effective Time, the amount (if any) by which the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset as of the date of the Permitted Disposition exceeds the proceeds from such Permitted Disposition (it being understood that in the case of any Covered Asset Disposed of in part, “Loss” shall be calculated as the amount (if any) by which the portion of the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset that ratably corresponds to the portion of such Covered Asset being Disposed exceeds the proceeds from such Permitted Disposition); (c) with respect to any Covered Asset maturing subsequent to the Effective Time (including as a result of acceleration), the amount (if any) by which the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset immediately prior to its maturity exceeds the principal payments and fees received by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity in connection with its maturity; (d) the amount of any Foreclosure Loss in respect of such Covered Asset (up to a maximum of the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset) subsequent to the Effective Time; (e) the amount of any Short-Sale Loss in respect of such Covered Asset (up to a maximum of the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset) subsequent to the Effective Time; and (f) with respect to any Asset Exchanges in respect of a Covered Asset, the amount (if any) by which the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset as of the date of the relevant Asset Exchange exceeds the Exchange Value of all Exchange Assets acquired in respect of such Covered Asset (whether Replacement Covered Assets or Ineligible Exchange Assets).  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the term “Loss” be deemed to include any loss resulting from (i) the application of Fair Value accounting to any Covered Asset on or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any unrealized “mark to market” losses subsequent to the Effective Time or (iii) any liabilities, losses, penalties, costs or expenses incurred in connection with any financing arrangements or unwinding of financing arrangements in respect of any Covered Asset.
 
6.4           Recoveries.  “Recoveries” in respect of any Covered Asset shall be equal to the sum of the following items (without duplication), up to the aggregate amount of Losses incurred on such Covered Asset at such time: (i) all amounts collected by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity on Charge-Offs of such Covered Asset plus (ii) the amount of all fees and other consideration received by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity in connection with any amendment, modification, renewal, extension, refinancing,
 
20

 
 
restructuring, commitment or other similar action taken by such Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity with respect to such Covered Asset in respect of which any Charge-Off has been taken by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity (provided, that the amount of any such fees or other consideration counted as a “Recovery” shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the related Charge-Offs taken and any Recovery Expenses related thereto); plus (iii) all amounts collected by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity in respect of any other Losses incurred on such Covered Asset plus (iv) if such Covered Asset is pledged to FRBNY pursuant to Section 10.3(d), all amounts received by FRBNY upon any sale, collection from, or other realization upon such Covered Asset in accordance with the Security Documents; minus (iv) the Recovery Expenses incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of such Covered Asset plus (v) any amounts collected by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities that reimburse Recovery Expenses previously incurred by them in respect of such Covered Asset; provided, “Recoveries” shall not include any cash interest payments received by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities permitted to be retained for their account pursuant to Section 7.4(c).  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that “Recoveries” shall also not include any amounts advanced to Citigroup by Treasury or FDIC pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 of this Master Agreement or borrowed by Citigroup pursuant to Section 4 of this Master Agreement.  
 
6.5           Gains.  “Gains” in respect of any Covered Asset shall be equal to the amount (if any) by which: (a) the sum of (i) all amounts received in cash subsequent to the Effective Time by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity upon any sale, collection from, or other realization upon such Covered Asset (including all Hedging Proceeds in respect of such Covered Asset, but excluding any cash interest payments received by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities permitted to be retained for their account pursuant to Section 7.4(c)) and (ii) if such Covered Asset is pledged to FRBNY pursuant to Section 10.3(d), all amounts received in cash by FRBNY upon any sale, collection from, or other realization upon such Covered Asset exceeds (b) the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset.  With respect to any Asset Exchanges in respect of a Covered Asset, a “Gain” shall be equal to the amount (if any) by which the aggregate Exchange Values of all Exchange Assets acquired in respect of such Covered Asset (whether Replacement Covered Assets or Ineligible Exchange Assets) exceeds the Adjusted Baseline Value of such Covered Asset as of the date of the relevant Asset Exchange.
 
6.6           Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses.  For any Calendar Quarter, a “Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss” shall be equal to the amount (if any) by which (a) all Losses incurred by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities on all Covered Assets in such Calendar Quarter exceed (b) the sum of all Recoveries and Gains realized by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities on all Covered Assets in such Calendar Quarter.
 
6.7           Covered Losses.  For any Calendar Quarter, a “Covered Loss” shall be equal to 90% of any Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss for that quarter, but only to the extent that such Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss, when taken together with all prior Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses incurred on a cumulative basis by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities subsequent to the Effective Time, exceeds the Citigroup Deductible; provided, that in no event shall any Loss arising from a failure by any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity to manage the Covered Assets in accordance with the Governance and Asset Management Guidelines be considered in calculating a Citigroup Quarterly Net Loss or a Covered Loss hereunder.
 
6.8           Effects of Asset Exchanges on Calculations.  (a)  In the event any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity acquires one or more Exchange Assets in an Asset Exchange, Citigroup shall promptly determine whether each such Exchange Asset satisfies the criteria for a Replacement Covered Asset, in which case such Exchange Asset shall be a Replacement Covered Asset (and therefore a Covered Asset for purposes of this Master Agreement), or whether such asset is an Ineligible Exchange Asset, in which case such asset shall not be eligible for loss-sharing coverage under this Master Agreement.  
 
(b)           In connection with its acquisition of any Exchange Asset, Citigroup shall value such asset for purposes of this Master Agreement in accordance with then applicable accounting
 
21

 
 
principles and valuation policies applied by Citigroup to its assets generally and consistent with the Governance and Asset Management Guidelines (such value, the “Exchange Value”) and shall determine on the basis of such Exchange Value whether as a result of such Asset Exchange, the applicable Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity has incurred a Loss or realized a Gain in accordance with the terms of Sections 6.3 and 6.5.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Gain realized by a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity as a result of any Asset Exchange shall be applied as required under Section 7 (in the case of any Ineligible Exchange Asset, as set forth in Section 6.8(d)).
 
(c)           Immediately following the determinations in Section 6.8(b), Citigroup shall calculate an initial Adjusted Baseline Value for each Replacement Covered Asset.  
 
(i)           In the case of any single Replacement Covered Asset acquired in respect of a Covered Asset, such Replacement Covered Asset shall be deemed to have an initial Adjusted Baseline Value equal to either:
 
(A)           if such Replacement Covered Asset has an Exchange Value that is equal to or less than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s Exchange Value; or
 
(B)           if such Replacement Covered Asset has an Exchange Value that is greater than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged, the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged.
 
(ii)           In the case of multiple Exchange Assets acquired in respect of a Covered Asset all of which are Replacement Covered Assets, each such Replacement Covered Asset shall be deemed to have an initial Adjusted Baseline Value equal to either:
 
(A)           if the sum of the Exchange Values of the Replacement Covered Assets is equal to or less than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which they were exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s Exchange Value; or
 
(B)           if the sum of the Exchange Values of the Replacement Covered Assets is greater than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which they were exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s ratable portion (taking in account the Exchange Values of all the Replacement Covered Assets acquired in such Asset Exchange) of the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged.
 
(iii)            In the case of multiple Exchange Assets acquired in respect of a Covered Asset not all of which are Replacement Covered Assets, each such Replacement Covered Asset acquired in such Asset Exchange shall be deemed to have an initial Adjusted Baseline Value equal to either:
 
(A)           if the sum of the Exchange Values of the Replacement Covered Assets is equal to or less than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which they were exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s Exchange Value; or
 
(B)           if the sum of the Exchange Values of the Replacement Covered Assets is greater than the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which they were exchanged, such Replacement Covered Asset’s ratable portion (taking in account the Exchange Values of all the Replacement Covered Assets and excluding the Exchange Values of any Ineligible Exchange Assets acquired in such Asset Exchange) of the Adjusted Baseline Value (as of the date of the Asset Exchange) of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged.
 
22

 
 
(iv)           For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the initial Adjusted Baseline Value of any Replacement Covered Asset (or group of Replacement Covered Assets) calculated in accordance with this Section 6.8 shall never be greater than the Adjusted Baseline Value of the Covered Asset for which it was exchanged as of the date of such Asset Exchange.
 
(d)           In the case of any acquisition by a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity of an Ineligible Exchange Asset in any Calendar Quarter, Citigroup shall pay in cash (i) in the case of any such acquisition prior to the FRBNY Funding Date, a portion of the Exchange Value of such Ineligible Exchange Asset equal to any Gain required to be applied, as part of any Excess Recoveries or Gains, under Section 7.1 within 30 calendar days of such Calendar Quarter (and such cash shall be applied as required under Section 7.1) or (ii) in the case of any such acquisition on or subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date, 90% of the Exchange Value of such Ineligible Exchange Asset within 30 calendar days of such Calendar Quarter (and such cash shall be applied as required under Section 7.2).
 
(e)           Each calculation, valuation or other determination made by Citigroup pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall be subject to the review of the U.S. Federal Parties.
 
6.9           Effects of Exchange Rates on Calculations.  For purposes of making any calculation required under this Section 6 or otherwise under this Master Agreement, Citigroup shall use the Dollar Equivalent of any relevant amounts in respect of Covered Assets denominated in currencies other than Dollars.  
 
SECTION 7.  APPLICATION OF RECOVERIES, GAINS AND OTHER AMOUNTS
 
7.1           Application Prior to the FRBNY Funding Date.  Within 30 calendar days of each Calendar Quarter ending prior to the FRBNY Funding Date in which the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities have received Excess Recoveries or Gains in respect of the Covered Assets, Citigroup shall apply 90% of such Excess Recoveries or Gains as follows (it being understood that the remaining 10% may be retained by Citigroup):
 
(a)           First, to reimburse FDIC for any outstanding FDIC Advances;
 
(b)           Second, to reimburse Treasury for any outstanding Treasury Advances;
 
(c)           Third, to reimburse Treasury and FDIC (on a ratable basis) for any costs, expenses, indemnities or other amounts to which they are entitled under this Master Agreement; and
 
(d)           Fourth, to reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, the sum of all Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses deemed to have been incurred by Citigroup in or prior to such Calendar Quarter for purposes of determining whether such Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses equal or exceed the Citigroup Deductible; provided that if no Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses have been incurred in or prior to such Calendar Quarter (or the sum of such Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses has been reduced to zero pursuant to this clause (d)), any remaining Excess Recoveries or Gains shall be accounted for by Citigroup to offset any future Citigroup Quarterly Net Losses in subsequent Calendar Quarters in direct chronological order.
 
7.2           Application Subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date.  Within 30 calendar days of each Calendar Quarter ending subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date in which any Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity or FRBNY (upon its exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), as the case may be, has received any amounts in respect of any Covered Asset (other than interest payments permitted to be retained for the account of the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities to the extent provided in Section 7.4), Citigroup or FRBNY (as applicable) shall apply 90% of such proceeds as follows (it being understood that the remaining 10% may be retained by, or shall be paid by FRBNY to, Citigroup, as applicable):
 
(a)           First, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the FRBNY Loan;
 
23

 
 
(b)           Second, to pay any accrued and unpaid interest on the FRBNY Loan;
 
(c)           Third, to reimburse FDIC for any outstanding FDIC Advances;
 
(d)           Fourth, to reimburse Treasury for any outstanding Treasury Advances; and
 
(e)           Fifth, to reimburse each of the U.S. Federal Parties (on a ratable basis) for any costs, expenses, indemnities or other amounts to which they are entitled under this Master Agreement or any other Program Document.
 
Any amounts remaining after application in accordance with this Section 7.2 may be retained by Citigroup; provided that if the application of any proceeds pursuant to this Section 7.2 is made by FRBNY following its exercise of remedies under the Security Documents, 90% of any remaining amounts shall be retained by FRBNY.
 
7.3           Effect on Treasury and FDIC Available Amounts.  Any amounts reimbursed to Treasury or FDIC pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be available for further Treasury Advances or FDIC Advances as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, no amounts repaid to FRBNY shall be available for any further FRBNY loans and no amounts reimbursed to Treasury or FDIC pursuant to Section 7.2 shall be available for further Treasury Advances or FDIC Advances).
 
7.4           Non-Recourse Obligations.  (a)  Subject to Section 7.4(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Agreement and the other Program Documents, (i) no Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity shall have any obligation to reimburse or repay (as applicable) any outstanding Citigroup Non-Recourse Obligations except to the extent provided in this Section 7 and the Security Documents and (ii) the Citigroup Non-Recourse Obligations are solely the obligations of Citigroup and, to the extent provided in the Security Documents, the Citigroup Ring-Fence Affiliates and shall be payable solely out of the Covered Assets.  No recourse shall be had for the payment of any Citigroup Non-Recourse Obligations against any holder of Capital Stock, employee, officer or Affiliate of Citigroup (provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such person or entity from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or omissions by it).  
 
(b)           All of the Citigroup Loan Obligations (other than those Citigroup Loan Obligations constituting Citigroup Non-Recourse Obligations) shall be with full recourse to the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities and shall not be subject to the limitations of Section 7.4(a).  
 
(c)           For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that all interest payments (as determined in accordance with applicable accounting principles and regardless of how characterized under the terms of the applicable Covered Asset) received in cash by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of the Covered Assets (and not including any accretion of discount in accordance with applicable accounting principles) shall be solely for the account of the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities; provided that if at any time subsequent to the FRBNY Funding Date any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the U.S. Federal Parties shall have the right to receive such cash interest payments and such payments shall be applied as set forth in Section 7.2.
 
(d)           The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Master Agreement.
 
7.5           Citigroup Payments to the U.S. Federal Parties.  Any amounts required to be applied by Citigroup under Section 7.1 or 7.2 to reimburse any of the U.S. Federal Parties shall be paid by Citigroup to the account designated by FRBNY in writing to Citigroup from time to time.  Citigroup shall include with each such payment directions to FRBNY as to the allocation of amounts among the U.S. Federal Parties (which allocation shall be made in accordance with the order of payments specified in
 
24

 
Section 7.1 or 7.2 (as applicable)).  Upon its receipt of any funds from Citigroup, FRBNY shall promptly distribute such funds in accordance with Citigroup’s directions.

SECTION 8.  CERTAIN LIMITATIONS
 
8.1             Limitation on Loss Payment and Calculations.  (a) The U.S. Federal Parties shall not be required to give effect to and shall have the right to challenge or correct any calculation by Citigroup under the Master Agreement that the U.S. Federal Parties determine, in their good faith judgment, based upon the requirements of the Program Documents, has not been properly determined by Citigroup.  Such calculations shall include, without limitation, determinations of Adjusted Baseline Value, amounts applied toward the Citigroup Deductible, Exchange Value, calculations relating to Foreign Asset status, Foreclosure Loss, Gains, Hedging Proceeds, Loss, Recoveries and Recovery Expenses.  Each of the U.S. Federal Parties and Citigroup shall seek to resolve any disagreement relating to such calculations expeditiously and in good faith.  If the parties are unable to resolve any such objection within 30 calendar days of commencing good faith discussions, the calculation as determined by the U.S. Federal Parties shall prevail and the parties shall make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such corrections.
 
(b)           Without in any way limiting the foregoing Section 8.1(a), the U.S. Federal Parties shall not be required to make any payments under the Master Agreement with respect to any Charge-Off (or otherwise give effect to any Charge-Off) of a Covered Asset that the U.S. Federal Parties determine was improperly taken by Citigroup in violation of the requirements of the Program Documents.  In the event that the U.S. Federal Parties do not make any payment with respect to, or otherwise give any effect to, any Charge-Off of a Covered Asset pursuant to this Section or determine that a payment or any calculation based on a Charge-Off was improperly made, Citigroup and the U.S. Federal Parties shall make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such corrections.

(c)           No Covered Asset shall be treated as such for purposes of calculating a Loss with respect thereto (a) after Citigroup makes any additional advance, commitment or increase in the amount of a commitment with respect to such Covered Asset that does not constitute a Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity Loan Commitment Advance, (b) after Citigroup makes any amendment, modification, renewal or extension to such Covered Asset that does not constitute a Permitted Amendment, or (c) after Citigroup has managed, administered or collected any Related Asset (as such term is defined in Section 5.3 of the Governance and Asset Management Guidelines) in any manner which would have the effect of increasing the amount of any collections with respect to the Related Asset to the detriment of the Covered Asset to which such asset is related; provided, that if Citigroup shall thereafter promptly cure any such condition specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) to the satisfaction of the U.S. Federal Parties, such Covered Asset shall once again be eligible for loss-sharing coverage to the full extent permitted under this Master Agreement; and provided, further, that any such Covered Asset that has been the subject of Charge-Offs prior to the taking of any action described in clause (a), (b), or (c) of this Section by Citigroup shall be treated as a Covered Asset for the purpose of calculating Recoveries and Gains with respect to such Covered Asset under this Master Agreement.

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program Documents, the U.S. Federal Parties may withhold payment for any amounts included in a Quarterly Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Governance and Asset Management Guidelines, if, in their good faith judgment, there is a reasonable basis for denying the eligibility of an item for which reimbursement or
 
25

 
 
payment is sought under the Master Agreement.  In such event, the U.S. Federal Parties shall provide a written notice to Citigroup detailing the grounds for withholding such payment. At such time as Citigroup demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the U.S. Federal Parties that the grounds for such withholding of payment, or portion of payment, no longer exist or have been cured, then the relevant U.S. Federal Party shall pay Citigroup the amount withheld which the relevant U.S. Federal Party reasonably determines is eligible for payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days.

Each Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor further agrees the performance or occurrence of any of the acts or events described in this Section 2.3 with respect to indebtedness or other obligations of Citigroup, other than the Citigroup Loan Obligations, to FRBNY, shall not affect the liability of any Citigroup Affiliate Pledgor hereunder.

Governance and Asset Management Guidelines

These Governance and Asset Management Guidelines (“Guidelines”) (as they may be amended, supplemented, restated, replaced or otherwise modified as described in Sections 4.3 and 7) shall, along with the Master Agreement and the other Program Documents, govern Citigroup’s management of the Covered Assets during the Term of the Master Agreement, as defined in Section 13.15 of the Master Agreement.  Unless otherwise specified, all terms defined in the Master Agreement and the other Program Documents shall have the same meanings when used in these Guidelines.
 
SECTION 1. GENERAL MANAGEMENT PROVISIONS
 
1.1.  Citigroup shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) manage, administer and make collections with respect to the Covered Assets while owned by Citigroup or any of its Affiliates during the Term of the Master Agreement in accordance with these Guidelines.  Citigroup shall be responsible to the U.S. Federal Parties in the performance of its duties hereunder and shall provide to the U.S. Federal Parties such reports as the U.S. Federal Parties deem advisable, including but not limited to the reports required by these Guidelines, and shall permit the U.S. Federal Parties at all times to monitor Citigroup’s performance of its duties hereunder.
 
1.2.  Citigroup shall manage, administer, collect and effect Charge-Offs and Recoveries with respect to each Covered Asset in a manner consistent with (a) usual and prudent business and banking practices; (b) Citigroup’s practices and procedures including, without limitation, the then-effective written internal credit policy guidelines of Citigroup, with respect to the management, administration and collection of and taking of charge-offs and write-downs with respect to similar assets that do not constitute Covered Assets, until such time as Citigroup is removed as manager pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Master Agreement or the U.S. Federal Parties otherwise exercise their option to alter this arrangement pursuant to these Guidelines, or Citigroup and the U.S. Federal Parties mutually agree upon another management arrangement.  Notwithstanding, and without in any way limiting, the foregoing, Citigroup shall implement all requirements contained in these Guidelines and the other Program Documents.
 
1.3.  Citigroup shall retain sufficient staff, and supply sufficient resources, to support the effective implementation and execution of these Guidelines.  Citigroup shall implement the necessary processes to identify, ring-fence, safeguard and report on the proper management of the Covered Assets and track the gain/loss performance thereof.  Citigroup shall engage in periodic testing of these processes to ensure compliance with the Program Documents.
 
1.4.  Citigroup shall act in a way that maximizes the long-term value of the Covered Assets without regard to the existence of the loss-sharing provisions of the Program Documents, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize Recoveries with respect to Losses on Covered Assets; provided, however, that the U.S. Federal Parties shall have the right to change these management objectives pursuant to Section 4.3.
 

 
 
1.5.  Citigroup shall provide written notification to the U.S. Federal Parties promptly after the execution of any contract pursuant to which any third party (other than an Affiliate of Citigroup, which shall be governed by Section 5.2) will manage, administer or collect any of the Covered Assets, together with a copy of that contract.  Unless Citigroup (or an Affiliate) would, at such time, in the ordinary course of business, contract with third parties to provide such services with respect to assets comparable to the relevant Covered Assets, the cost of such third-party service providers with respect to such Covered Assets shall not be a Recovery Expense.
 
1.6.  Citigroup’s Finance function will separately identify and track the Covered Assets on the books and records of the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities, including in order to satisfy the reporting requirements of these Guidelines.
 
1.7.  In managing the Covered Assets, Citigroup shall:
 
(a)           Comply with the provisions of the Troubled Assets Relief Program (“TARP”) and the Program Documents.
 
(b)           Apply the FDIC Mortgage Loan Modification Program, including any amendment, modification, supplement, revision, or replacement thereto, to all eligible Covered Assets.

(d)           Manage the Covered Assets in a manner calculated to maintain compliance with the requirements related to the ratio of permissible Foreign Assets, it being understood that Citigroup shall have no obligation to release collateral already under pledge, including because of the decline of relative value of the U.S. to foreign portions, and that Citigroup will not voluntarily accept additional foreign collateral for a Covered Asset in amounts that would exceed the relevant ratio unless Citigroup has considered and rejected other reasonably available alternatives as being inconsistent with principles of safety and soundness and maximization of asset value.  In effecting the foregoing, Citigroup will continue to monitor, at reasonable intervals established in agreement with the U.S. Federal Parties, the ratio of value represented by U.S. and foreign collateral for a Covered Asset.
 
1.8.  For each residential mortgage loan Covered Asset in default or for which a default is reasonably foreseeable, the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities shall undertake reasonable and customary loss mitigation efforts.  With respect to each such Covered Asset, each Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity shall document its consideration of foreclosure, loan restructuring, short-sale (if short-sale is a viable option), workout or other mitigation, modification, forgiveness or deferral alternatives and shall select the alternative resulting in the least amount of Loss.  Each Citigroup Ring-Fence Entity shall retain its calculations of the estimated loss under each alternative and provide such calculations to the U.S. Federal Parties upon request.  Upon notice

by the U.S. Federal Parties in accordance with Section 4.3(b), this Section 1.8 shall apply to all Covered Assets.
 
1.9.  Citigroup shall (a) establish and maintain records to account for the Covered Assets, in such form and detail as the U.S. Federal Parties may require, to enable Citigroup to prepare and deliver to the U.S. Federal Parties such reports as the U.S. Federal Parties may from time to time request regarding the Covered Assets and the reports and Quarterly Certificates required by these Guidelines, and (b) at all times keep books and records which fairly present all dealings and transactions carried out in connection with its business and affairs.  Except as otherwise provided for in the Program Documents, all financial books and records shall be kept in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied for the periods involved and in a manner such that information necessary to determine compliance with any requirement of the Program Documents will be readily obtainable, and in a manner such that the purposes of the Program Documents may be effectively accomplished.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a conflict between the standards set forth in the Program Documents and GAAP, the standards set forth in the Program Documents shall govern.  Any such conflict shall be promptly identified in writing by Citigroup to the U.S. Federal Parties.  To the extent GAAP governs, Citigroup shall not, without the prior written approval of the U.S. Federal Parties, make any change in its accounting principles affecting the Covered Assets except as required by a change in GAAP.  Citigroup shall notify the U.S. Federal Parties of any change in its accounting principles affecting the Covered Assets which it believes are required by a change in GAAP.
 
1.10.  Citigroup shall promptly provide to the U.S. Federal Parties such other information, including financial statements and computations, relating to the performance of the provisions of the Master Agreement or otherwise relating to its business and affairs or the Program Documents, as the U.S. Federal Parties may request from time to time.  Citigroup shall provide to the U.S. Federal Parties copies of all reports to or from the SOC (as defined below) and all other records of the SOC, and full and complete disclosure of all presentations, reports and other documents presented to or originating with, and all minutes of, the Citigroup Management Committee or Board that pertain to the loss-sharing arrangements embodied in the Program Documents.  Citigroup shall retain and make available on request all emails among members of the SOC relating to SOC decisions.
 
1.11.  Citigroup shall not at any time, without the prior written consent of the U.S. Federal Parties, seek a private letter ruling or other determination from the Internal Revenue Service or otherwise seek to qualify for any special tax treatment or benefits associated with any payments made by the U.S. Federal Parties pursuant to the Program Documents.
 
1.12.  Citigroup shall not make any amendment or modification to the terms of a Covered Asset, other than on a commercially reasonable basis consistent with these Guidelines and the other Program Documents, including modifications made, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the FDIC Mortgage Loan Modification Program attached as Exhibit F to the Master Agreement.
 
1.13.  All sales, exchanges or other dispositions of Covered Assets shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with these Guidelines and the Program Documents.  No Covered Asset shall be sold or transferred to any Affiliate of Citigroup that is
 
3

 
 
not a U.S. Person.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Covered Asset shall be exchanged for any other asset held by Citigroup or any Affiliate of Citigroup without the prior written consent of the U.S. Federal Parties.
 
1.14.  During the three calendar months prior to the Maturity Date, the parties shall consult and discuss whether, in light of the circumstances at such time, by mutual agreement to modify or terminate the requirements of these Guidelines in whole or in part.

(f)           Any Specified Action or program or series of related Specified Actions with respect to Covered Assets involving a transaction value in excess of 1% of the aggregate then-current Adjusted Baseline Values of the remaining Covered Assets at such time shall require “same day” notification to the U.S. Federal Parties.  Without regard to its Adjusted Baseline Value, any sale or other transfer of a Covered Asset to an Affiliate of Citigroup that is a U.S. Person shall require prior approval by the U.S. Federal Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  It is further understood that this approval requirement shall not apply to sales or transfers consummated prior to the date hereof.  (Transfers to Affiliates that are not U.S. Persons are prohibited under Section 1.13 hereof.)
 
(g)           Any Specified Action or program or series of related Specified Actions with respect to Covered Assets (i) involving a transaction value in excess of 5% of the aggregate then-current Adjusted Baseline Values of the remaining Covered Assets at such time or (ii) as to which the loss to be realized is in excess of 1% of the aggregate then-current Adjusted Baseline Values of the remaining Covered Assets at such time, shall require prior approval by the U.S. Federal Parties.
 
(h)           Approvals by the SOC under this Section shall require the approval of at least three members of the SOC, and may be evidenced by email or in a vote taken by an in-person or telephonic meeting.  Required notification to or approval by the U.S. Federal Parties under this Section shall be satisfied by notification to or approval by, as the case may be, FRBNY.  In connection with any such approval, the U.S. Federal Parties may consult with their advisors and request that Citigroup meet with the U.S. Federal Parties and such advisors regarding the relevant transaction.
 
(i)           To facilitate reporting and appropriate pre-approvals, the Covered Asset CEO shall periodically communicate the notification and pre-approval thresholds specified in this Section 4.1 to the Portfolio Managers.
 
(j)           “Specified Action” means any elective action or elective decision (including, without limitation, any consent, waiver, approval or vote) with respect to any asset or group of assets, including, without limitation, any loan charge off or forgiveness of indebtedness; any impairment of an investment security; any changes in tenor or principal of a loan or security; any extensions, renewals or roll-forwards or similar actions; any sale, conversion or modification; or any swap or similar transaction.  For the avoidance of doubt, Specified Action excludes any action or decision required in accordance with GAAP as applied pursuant to Citigroup’s normal accounting policies and processes other than charge offs; provided, that for purposes of Sections 4.1(f) and 4.1(g), notification to the U.S. Federal Parties (as applicable) shall be required notwithstanding whether any action or decision is required in accordance with GAAP.
 
4.2.  Audits and Certifications
 
(a)           The operations of the Executive Team and the SOC shall be monitored and reviewed by Citigroup Independent Audit and Risk Review Group (“ARR”).  Additionally, ARR shall audit compliance with the governance and asset management processes set forth in
 
14

 
 
the Program Documents.  A representative of ARR will be informed of all meetings of the SOC, invited to observe such meetings and provided with the minutes of such meetings.
 
(b)           Citigroup shall cause ARR or an independent public accountant of recognized national standing acceptable to the U.S. Federal Parties to:
 
(i)           Develop and execute an Audit Plan that:
 
(A)           affirms controls and operating processes within businesses and portfolios in the asset pool,
 
(B)           confirms Citigroup’s compliance with the Program Documents and the various charters and protocols established thereunder,
 
(C)           reviews and attests to losses claimed or recognized on a periodic basis,
 
(D)           tests loss identification processes as well as reviews actual loss within the asset pool,
 
(E)           verifies that losses are recognized in accordance with the Master Agreement,
 
(F)           verifies that governance meetings are taking place and that minutes are recorded, in each case as required hereunder, and
 
(G)           verifies when there have been significant changes in hedges and models.

(iii)           The initial Audit Plan shall be adopted subject to review and approval by the U.S. Federal Parties.  Thereafter, the Audit Plan, including any revisions or amendments thereto, shall be subject to review and approval by the U.S. Federal Parties on an annual basis.
 
(iv)           All ARR audit reports prepared pursuant to these Guidelines shall be delivered to the Executive Team, the SOC and the U.S. Federal Parties.
 
(c)           As soon as available, and in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities, Citigroup shall deliver to each of the U.S. Federal Parties an attestation from an independent public accountant of recognized national standing acceptable to the U.S. Federal Parties to the effect that the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities are in compliance with all material requirements of these Corporate Governance Guidelines and each of the other Program Documents, together with such SAS 70 reports on organizations providing services to the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities that affect their
 
15

 
 
compliance with the Program Documents as (i) the U.S. Federal Parties request upon reasonable notice to Citigroup and (ii) can be obtained by Citigroup on a practicable basis.
 
(d)           Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year from and including the calendar year during which the Effective Date falls to and including the calendar year during which the last Calendar Quarter ends, Citigroup shall deliver to the U.S. Federal Parties a report signed by its independent public accountants stating that they have reviewed the terms of the Master Agreement and that, in the course of their annual audit of Citigroup’s books and records, nothing has come to their attention suggesting that any computations required to be made by Citigroup during such calendar year by the Master Agreement or the other Program Documents were not made by Citigroup in accordance herewith.  In the event that Citigroup cannot comply with the preceding sentence, it shall promptly submit to the U.S. Federal Parties corrected computations together with a report signed by its independent public accountants stating that, after giving effect to such corrected computations, nothing has come to their attention suggesting that any computations required to be made by Citigroup during such year by the Master Agreement or the other Program Documents were not made by Citigroup in accordance herewith.  In such event, Citigroup and the U.S. Federal Parties shall make all such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give effect to each correction reflected in such corrected computations, retroactive to the date on which the corresponding incorrect computation was made.
 
(e)           Citigroup shall perform on an annual basis an internal audit and other such interim reviews as is consistent with Citigroup practice of its compliance with the provisions of the Relevant Program Documents and shall provide the U.S. Federal Parties with copies of the internal audit reports and access to internal audit workpapers related to such internal audit and interim reviews.
 
(f)           The Covered Asset CEO shall execute annually a certificate in the form of Annex IV or shall report in writing to the U.S. Federal Parties his inability to do so.  Any report that he is unable to do so shall indicate with specificity the reasons for that inability.  The certificate shall be accompanied by supporting analytic materials and reports, and each member of the SOC shall provide the following attestation:
 
“Based on my knowledge, including without limitation my participation as a member of the SOC, I believe that Citigroup is complying in all material respects with the requirements of the Program Documents.  The SOC has performed the necessary due diligence and exercised oversight with sufficient rigor to provide me with a reasonable basis for this conclusion.”
 
(g)           The U.S. Federal Parties may perform an audit to determine Citigroup’s compliance with the provisions of the Master Agreement and the other Program Documents at any time.  The scope and duration of any such audit shall be within the sole discretion of the U.S. Federal Parties.  Citigroup shall bear the expense of any such audit.  In connection with the foregoing, Citigroup shall make available to the U.S. Federal Parties sufficient space on its premises in order to allow the U.S. Federal Parties to perform all such auditing and monitoring functions.  Any such on-site audit or monitoring shall be overseen by the FDIC.  In the event that any corrections are necessary as a result of such an audit, Citigroup and the U.S. Federal Parties
 
16

 
 
shall make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such corrections

Form of Certificate
 
 
I, ________________________, certify in good faith (in my capacity as Covered Asset CEO and without personal liability) that:
 
 
1.
I have reviewed the monthly and quarterly reports made during the past calendar year pursuant to the Master Agreement between Citigroup and the U.S. Federal Parties including, without limitation, the Monthly Reports and the Quarterly Certificates as defined in Exhibit B to the Master Agreement and all other reports delivered to the U.S. Federal Parties pursuant to either the Master Agreement or any exhibit thereto;
 
 
2.
Based on my knowledge, these reports did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the periods covered by these reports (or as to forward-looking information, that such information was prepared in good faith on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the relevant time);
 
 
3.
Based on my knowledge, the statements, dates and analyses included in these reports fairly present in all material respects the performance of the Covered Assets (or as to forward-looking information, that such information was prepared in good faith on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the relevant time), the actions taken by the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities in respect of the Covered Assets, and the Citigroup Ring-Fence Entities’ compliance with the Relevant Program Documents as of, and for, the periods presented in these reports;
 
 
4.
Based on my knowledge, I believe that Citigroup has satisfied its internal control obligations as outlined in the Relevant Program Documents in (i) the production of these reports and Certificates and (ii) the management processes that govern the Covered Assets.  Citigroup has performed the necessary due diligence and exercised oversight with sufficient rigor to provide me with a reasonable basis for this conclusion.
 
24

 
 
5.
Based on my knowledge, I believe that any significant deficiencies or  material weaknesses in the internal controls related to the Covered Assets have been reported to Citigroup’s internal auditors and the Audit Committee.

Exhibit C
Executive Compensation
 

Unless otherwise specified all terms defined in the Master Agreement and the other Program Documents shall have the same meanings when used in this Exhibit C.

(a)           Senior Executive Officers.  Until such time as Treasury and the FDIC (together the “Investors”) cease to own any debt or equity securities of Citigroup acquired pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Investors and Citigroup or the Warrants, Citigroup shall take all necessary action to ensure that its Benefit Plans with respect to the Senior Executive Officers comply in all respects with Section 111(b) of the EESA, including the provisions for the Capital Purchase Program, as implemented by any guidance or regulation thereunder that has been issued and is in effect as of the Closing Date, including the rules set forth in 31 CFR Part 30 and the provisions prohibiting severance payments to Senior Executive Officers, and shall not adopt any new Benefit Plan with respect to its Senior Executive Officers that does not comply therewith.  For purposes of applying Section 111(b) of the EESA with respect to this paragraph (a) of Exhibit C, a “golden parachute payment” means any payment in the nature of compensation to (or for the benefit of) a Senior Executive Officer made on account of an applicable severance from employment.  “Senior Executive Officers” means Citigroup’s “senior executive officers” as defined in subsection 111(b)(3) of the EESA and regulations issued thereunder that have been issued and are in effect as of the date of the Master Agreement (the “Closing Date”), including the rules set forth in 31 CFR Part 30.
 
(b)           Senior Leadership Members.   Until such time as  the Investors cease to own any debt or equity securities of Citigroup acquired pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Investors and Citigroup or the Warrants  Citigroup shall take all necessary action to limit any “golden parachute payments” to the employees of Citigroup and Citigroup Subsidiaries who are members of the Senior Leadership Committee as of the Closing Date (other than the Senior Executive Officers) (the “Senior Leadership Members”) to the amounts permitted by the regulations relating to participants in the EESA Capital Purchase Program and the guidelines and rules relating thereto that have been issued and are in effect as of the Closing Date, including the rules set forth in 31 CFR Part 30, as if such Senior Leadership Members were Senior Executive Officers for purposes of the EESA (except that equity denominated awards settled solely in equity shall not be included in such limit on “golden parachute payments” to Senior Leadership Members).
 
(c)           Bonus Compensation.
 
(i)           the aggregate amount of Bonus Compensation that may be paid to the Senior Executive Officers and Senior Leadership Members with respect to each of fiscal years 2008 and 2009 shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 60% of the aggregate Prior Year Bonus Compensation for the Senior Executive Officer and Senior Leadership Member positions (the “Bonus Pool Cap”); provided, that, with respect to
 

 
fiscal year 2009, the Bonus Pool Cap may be increased by Citigroup if, and to the extent that, such increase is approved by the Investors  following the submission by Citigroup of a written detailed recommendation (with all applicable supporting documentation) to the Investors describing the basis for any proposed change to the 2009 bonus pool.  The Investors shall have the authority to reject any change in the 2009 bonus pool if Citigroup fails to demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Investors that the proposed change is warranted by Citigroup’s demonstrated profitability, adequacy of risk-adjusted capital, market factors, compliance with the repayment terms of any investment and/or loan by the U.S.  Federal Parties or any other Governmental Entity,  Citigroup performance in managing the Covered Asset pool in compliance with the terms of the Master Agreement, changes to the size or composition of the Senior Leadership Committee, and any other factors the Investors deems relevant in its discretion. “Bonus Compensation” means all payments (whether in cash or other assets) in excess of the individual's base salary paid with respect to a fiscal year (including any bonuses relating to such fiscal year that are paid in the following fiscal year), including any incentive or retention compensation; provided that “Bonus Compensation” does not include (i) any perquisites, to the extent that the applicable Senior Executive Officer or Senior Leadership Member is receiving such perquisites as of the Closing Date or, if such Senior Executive Officer or Senior Leadership Member is hired after the Closing Date, such perquisites are customarily made available to an employee holding such Senior Executive Officer or Senior Leadership Member’s position as of the date of the Master Agreement, (ii) employee benefits generally made available to all employees employed within the same jurisdiction, (iii) supplemental retirement benefits provided under a plan in which the applicable Senior Executive Officer or Senior Leadership Member participates on the Closing Date, (iv) benefits provided under generally available expatriate programs, (v) any long-term incentive compensation award granted prior to the Closing Date that is subject to performance-based vesting and payable in 2009 or 2010, (vi) any sign-on award granted to a Senior Executive Officer or Senior Leadership Member who commences employment with Citigroup in fiscal year 2009 that is intended to make such Senior Executive Officer or Senior Leadership Member whole for unvested or otherwise forfeitable awards that are actually forfeited by the Senior Executive Officer or Senior Leadership Member’s prior employer in connection with such Senior Executive Officer or Senior Leadership Member’s departure from such prior employer and acceptance of employment with Citigroup; provided that the portion of any such sign-on award that serves as a “make whole” award for any such forfeited awards that were forfeited because the applicable vesting conditions were not achieved prior to the date of termination shall be granted subject to substantially similar vesting conditions or, if such sign-on award is paid to the Senior Executive Officer or Senior Leadership Member upon such individual’s commencement of employment with Citigroup, shall be subject to a repayment obligation that reasonably reflects the vesting conditions applicable to such forfeited awards or (vii) any retention award committed to prior to the Closing Date.  “Prior Year Bonus Compensation” means, with respect to each Senior Executive Officer and Senior Leadership Member position, the Bonus Compensation paid with respect to fiscal year 2007, or, if no Bonus Compensation was paid for such position with respect to fiscal year 2007 (as evidenced by such person not receiving a stock award under the Capital
 

 
Accumulation Program with respect to 2008), the most recently preceding fiscal year for which Bonus Compensation was paid for such position.  For the avoidance of doubt, “Prior Year Bonus Compensation” does not include any retention awards granted during or with respect to the applicable fiscal year.
 
(ii)           At least 60% of any Bonus Compensation in respect of the 2008 fiscal year for any member of the Executive Committee (which committee consists of the Senior Executive Officers and the Senior Leadership Members who are the ten next most senior executive officers of Citigroup other than the Senior Executive Officers) shall be payable, at Citigroup’s discretion, in a combination of (x) deferred stock awards (all or a portion of which may be awarded in the form of stock options) or (y) deferred cash awards.  At least 40% of the Bonus Compensation in respect of the 2008 fiscal year shall be granted subject to performance-based vesting.
 
(d)           Restrictions on Lobbying.  Until such time as the Investors cease to own any debt or equity securities of Citigroup acquired pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Investors and Citigroup or the Warrants Citigroup shall continue to maintain and implement its comprehensive written policy (the “U.S. Lobbying Policy”) on lobbying, governmental ethics and political activity and distribute such U.S. Lobbying Policy to all Company employees and lobbying firms involved in any such activity.  During the Term of the Master Agreement any material amendments to the U.S. Lobbying Policy shall require the prior written consent of the Investors, and any material deviations from the U.S. Lobbying Policy, whether in contravention thereof or pursuant to waivers provided for thereunder, shall promptly be reported to the Investors.  The U.S. Lobbying Policy shall, at a minimum: (i) require compliance with all applicable law; (ii) apply to Citigroup, Citigroup Subsidiaries that constitute Citigroup’s consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated foundations; (iii) govern (A) the provision of items of value to any U.S. government officials; (B) lobbying of U.S. government officials and (C) U.S. political activities and contributions; and (iv) provide for (x) internal reporting and oversight and (y) mechanisms for addressing non-compliance with the U.S. Lobbying Policy.

EXHIBIT F

FDIC MORTGAGE LOAN MODIFICATION PROGRAM

Objective

The objective of the Mortgage Loan Modification Program (“Program”) is to mitigate losses on Qualifying Loans, as defined below, by modifying the terms of certain residential mortgage loans so as to reduce covered losses and improve the value of the loans, improve affordability, increase the probability of performance, and allow borrowers to remain in their homes.  This Program applies to Qualifying Loans that are “ring-fenced assets” for the Eligible Asset Guarantee of November 23, 2008 and that are owned and/or serviced by Citigroup, Inc. (“Citigoup”).  While the scope of this agreement is limited to Qualifying Mortgage Loans that are “ring-fenced” assets, it is understood that Citigroup employs loss mitigation programs, including loan modifications, that are similar to the FDIC Program, for all of the mortgages it services, both held and serviced for others.  Citigroup may continue to provide outreach and other services to borrowers under the Citi Homeowner Assistance initiative that are not inconsistent with this agreement, including outreach to current borrowers.

Qualifying Mortgage Loans

In order for a mortgage loan to be a Qualifying Loan it must meet all of the following criteria, which must be confirmed by Citigroup:

·
The collateral securing the mortgage loan is owner-occupied; and
·
The mortgagor has a first or second priority lien on the collateral; and
·
Either the borrower is at least 60 days delinquent or a default is reasonably foreseeable.

Qualifying Loans secured by a second priority lien should be modified in coordination with the modification of the first priority lien on the collateral, whether the first priority lien is a Qualifying Loan or not.

Early stage delinquencies prior to 60 days, or other delinquencies in exceptional cases, involving demonstrable, documented evidence that there is only a temporary interruption in income, can be remedied on an exception basis only by temporary forbearance, extension/deferment, or a repayment plan.1  The use of temporary forbearance, extension/deferment, or repayment plans will be reported on the monthly reports required below.  Upon request, Citigroup will provide to the FDIC, Treasury, Federal Reserve, and Office of th e Comptroller of the Currency appropriate documentation of the the temporary nature of the early stage delinquency.
 

1  Any charge-offs based upon temporary forbearance, extension/deferment or a repayment plan shall not be considered as covered losses for purposes of the Master Agreement.
 
1


Modification Process

Overview: The Program requires Citigroup to undertake a review of its mortgage loan portfolio to identify Qualifying Loans, which shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 90 days from the execution of this agreement.  In its review, Citigroup shall provide priority review and responsive action for those Qualifying Loans that are seriously delinquent.  No foreclosure of any residential mortgage within the ring-fenced assets shall proceed until the loan is reviewed under this Program for a modification.

For each Qualifying Mortgage Loan meeting the criteria above, the lender shall reduce the ratio of the borrower’s mortgage-related expenses, as defined below, for the first priority mortgage to gross income under the Qualifying Loan (“DTI Ratio”) to 31%, except as permitted below to achieve a projected net present value (“NPV”) of the modified loan greater than the projected NPV of foreclosure, applying the steps defined below.  All modifications require an interest rate capped at the Freddie Mac Weekly Survey Rate for 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans, or lower, for the life of the loan.  No negative amortization is permitted.  Completion of the modification requires verification of the borrower’s income.

The projected NPV of the modified loan should be greater than the projected NPV of the foreclosure alternative.  If the projected NPV of the modified loan at a 31% DTI ratio is not greater than the projected NPV of foreclosure, then the monthly housing payment will be adjusted incrementally above a 31% DTI ratio, but not to exceed a 38% DTI ratio, to achieve a projected NPV greater than that for foreclosure.  The DTI ratio may be increased above 31% only as necessary to achieve a positive NPV compared to foreclosure.

The borrower’s monthly DTI Ratio shall be a percentage calculated by dividing the borrower’s monthly housing payment for the first priority mortgage (consisting of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, and, where applicable, any mandatory homeowners’ association dues) by the borrower’s monthly gross income. For these purposes, (1) the borrower’s monthly income shall be the amount of the borrower’s (along with any co-borrowers’) documented and verified gross monthly income, and (2) the borrower’s monthly housing payment shall be the amount required to pay monthly principal and interest plus one-twelfth of the then current annual amount required to pay real property taxes and homeowner’s insurance and, where applicable, any mandatory homeowners’ association dues with respect to the collateral.

Modification Steps:  In order to calculate the monthly principal payment, Citigroup shall capitalize to the outstanding principal balance of the Qualifying Loan the amount of all delinquent interest, delinquent taxes, past due insurance premiums, third party fees and (without duplication) escrow advances (such amount, the “Capitalized Balance”).

In order to achieve the goal of reducing the DTI Ratio to 31%, Citigroup shall take the following steps in the following order for each Qualifying Loan:

1.  
Reduce the interest rate to the then current Freddie Mac Weekly Survey Rate for 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans or lower for the balance of the loan term.  After reducing the interest rate to the then current Freddie Mac Weekly Survey Rate, Citigroup may also, at its option, forgive a portion of the Capitalized Balance of the mortgage.

2

 
2.  
If the DTI Ratio is still in excess of 31%, reduce the interest rate for the first five years under the modified loan in increments, with a minimum interest rate no lower than 3%, until the DTI ratio of 31% is achieved.

3.  
If the DTI Ratio is still in excess of 31% after adjusting the interest rate to 3%, extend the remaining term of the loan by up to 10 years as needed to achieve a 31% DTI Ratio.

4.  
If the DTI Ratio is still in excess of 31%, calculate a new monthly payment (the “Adjusted Payment Amount”) that will result in the borrower’s monthly DTI Ratio not exceeding 31%.  After calculating the Adjusted Payment Amount, Citigroup shall either defer a portion of the Capitalized Balance, as described below, or forgive a portion of the Capitalized Balance as necessary to achieve a 31% DTI Ratio.  The choice between deferring or forgiving a portion of the Capitalized Balance will be guided by the NPV analysis as well as any binding agreements governing servicing for the Qualifying Loan.
   
  If the option to defer a portion of the Capitalized Balance is selected under the foregoing criteria, Citigroup shall bifurcate the Capitalized Balance into two portions – the amortizing portion and the non-amortizing portion.  The amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance shall be the mortgage amount that will fully amortize over a 40-year term at the annual interest rate defined in Steps 1-3 and monthly payments equal to the Adjusted Payment Amount.  The non-amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance shall be the difference between the Capitalized Balance and the amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance.  Citigroup shall forbear on collecting the non-amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance, and such amount shall be due and payable only upon the earlier of (i) maturity of the modified loan, (ii) a sale of the property or (iii) a pay-off or refinancing of the loan.  No interest shall be charged on the non-amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance, but repayment shall continue to be secured by a first lien on the collateral.
 
5.  
Following application of the steps outlined above to achieve a monthly DTI Ratio not exceeding 31%, Citigroup shall determine the projected NPV of the modified loan. If the projected NPV of the modified loan exceeds the projected NPV of the foreclosed collateral upon disposition, then the modification shall be offered to the borrower for completion.  If the NPV of the modified loan is less than the NPV of the foreclosed collateral upon disposition, then the modification may be adjusted, reversing the order of the steps defined above, in progressive increments to achieve a monthly DTI Ratio that provides a projected NPV for the modified loan that exceeds the projected NPV through foreclosure.  The resulting first lien DTI Ratio shall not exceed 38%.
 
If step 2 above is required to achieve the target DTI, at the end of the five (5) year period, the interest rate on the modified loan shall adjust to the Freddie Mac Survey Rate as of the date of the loan modification, but subject to an annual adjustment cap of one percentage point (100 bps) per year.  At that time, the monthly amount due by the borrower will also adjust to amortize fully the amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance over the remaining term of the modified loan.

3

 
A completed modification shall require the borrower’s execution of a Modification Agreement, confirming acceptance of the specific terms of their modification, payment of the initial modified monthly payment, and verification of the borrower’s income to comply with the specific terms of their modification.  Verification of income can be accomplished using recent tax returns, which can be streamlined using Internal Revenue Service databases with the borrower’s permission, or recent third-party income information such as paycheck or financial institution data.

Net Present Value Calculations:  Citigroup shall complete a standardized NPV calculation in comparing the projected NPV of the modified loan and the projected NPV of the proceeds from foreclosure.  The standardized NPV calculation can use or be based on the NPV calculation posted on the FDIC’s web site for its FDIC Loan Modification Program.  The NPV calculation shall calculate the discounted cash flows from the modified mortgage utiling an appropriate discount rate, redefault rate, cure rate, and REO disposition value which shall include consideration of depreciation value, foreclosure, costs of foreclosure, time periods for foreclosure and disposition, and disposition value in the event of redefault.  In calculating the value of foreclosure, Citigroup shall consider an appropriate discount rate, cure rate, and REO disposition value, as above.  The standardized NPV calculation shall apply industry-standard assumptions for key elements, such as redefault rates, discounts for sale of REO, time periods for foreclosure and sale, and sale costs, where actual data is unavailable.

Upon request, Citigroup shall provide to the FDIC, Treasury, and the Federal Reserve the NPV model applied as well as the assumptions used in calculating the NPV for the modified loans and foreclosures along with supporting data.

Additional Modification Terms

In connection with the modification of any Qualifying Loan, the following additional requirements shall apply.

1.  
Citigroup shall not charge (and no borrower shall be required to pay) any modification, refinance or other similar fees or points in connection with the modification, nor shall any such fees, costs or charges be capitalized.

2.  
Unpaid late fees and prepayment penalties otherwise chargeable to the borrower shall be waived.

3.  
Modified loans shall not include any prepayment penalties.

4.  
Citigroup shall establish an escrow account for the payment of future taxes and insurance premiums.

Related Junior Lien Mortgage Loans

In cases where the Qualifying Loan is a junior lien mortgage loan secured by the same property securing either another Qualifying Loan that is modified as described above, or another loan owned or serviced by Citigroup, the junior lien mortgage loan shall also be modified to enhance
 
4

 
overall affordability to the borrower.  Where possible, the junior lien should be eliminated by a minimal pay-off or, at a minimum, modified to reduce the interest rate on the junior lien mortgage loan to no more than 2% per annum.  Further modifications may be made at Citigroup’s discretion as needed to support affordability and performance of the modified first lien Qualifying Loan.

Where Citi does not own or service the junior lien and cannot modify the junior lien, and except as provided in the following sentence, the combined first and junior lien DTI Ratio shall not exceed 42%.  In such cases, where the DTI Ratio for the first lien Qualifying Loan must be adjusted above 31% to achieve a positive NPV for the modified loan compared to foreclosure, the DTI Ratio for the combined first and junior lien Qualifying Loans shall be capped between 42% and 49% in relation to the necessary adjustments to the first lien Qualifying Loan.  Where Citi does own or service the junior lien and can modify it, the combined first and junior lien DTI ratio should be minimized and substantially below the foregoing thresholds.

In cases where the Qualifying Loan is a junior lien, but it is not secured by the same property securing another Qualifying Loan or another loan owned or serviced by Citigroup, the junior lien Qualifying Loan shall be modified using the three modification options outlined above to achieve a combined first and second lien DTI Ratio not to exceed 45% to provide an affordable payment with the existing first lien.

Data Reporting

Citigroup shall provide monthly reports to the FDIC, Treasury, Federal Reserve and public on the performance of the Qualifying Loans, loan modifications effected under the Program, and the performance of the modified loans.  The data elements and format for the reports shall be established by the FDIC, in consultation with Treasury and the Federal Reserve.
