CITIGROUP INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company", which term includes any
successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the
principal sum of $__________ on December 9, 2011 and to pay
interest thereon from and including December 9, 2008 or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid
or duly provided for, semi-annually, on June 9 and December 9 of
each year, commencing June 9, 2009, at the rate of 2.875% per
annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided
in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is
registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such
interest, which shall be the June 1 and December 1 (whether or not
a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment
Date.
Any such
interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith
cease to be payable to the holder on such Record Date and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered
at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date, such
subsequent Record Date to be not less than five days prior to the
date of payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be
given to holders of Notes of this series not less than 15 days
prior to such subsequent Record Date, or be paid at any time in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
Interest hereon will be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
If either an Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day,
such Interest Payment Date or Maturity will be the next succeeding
Business Day. If a date for payment of interest or
principal on the Notes falls on a day that is not a business day in
the place of payment, such payment will be made on the next
succeeding business day in such place of payment as if made on the
date the payment was due. No interest will accrue on any
amounts payable for the period from and after the due date for
payment of such principal or interest.
For these
purposes, “Business Day” means any day which is a day
on which commercial banks settle payments and are open for general
business in The City of New York.
The Company and
the Trustee acknowledge that the Company is a “participating
entity”, as that term is defined in 12 CFR Section 370.2(g),
in the debt guarantee program (the “Debt Guarantee
Program”) established by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) under its Temporary Liquidity
Guarantee Program (“TLGP”). As a result,
this debt is guaranteed under the FDIC TLGP and is backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States. The details
of the FDIC guarantee are provided in the FDIC’s regulations,
12 CFR Part 370, and at the FDIC’s website,
www.fdic.gov/tlgp . The expiration date of the
FDIC’s guarantee is the earlier of the maturity date of this
debt or June 30, 2012.
The Trustee is
hereby designated as the duly authorized representative of the
holder for purposes of making claims and taking other permitted or
required actions under the Debt Guarantee Program (the
“Representative”). Any holder may elect not
to be represented by the Representative by providing written notice
of such election to the Representative.
Payment of the
principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office
or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in The City of
New York.
Reference is
hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee or by an authenticating agent on behalf of the Trustee by
manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.
IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed
under its corporate seal.
