(f) Involuntary Termination.

(i) If, prior to a Vesting Date, the Company terminates Participant’s employment for any reason, any unvested portion of the Award will be canceled as of the termination date of Participant’s employment.  Except as provided by subparagraph (ii) below, any previously vested shares, and accrued dividend equivalents, if applicable (less appropriate withholdings for the payment of taxes), will be distributed to Participant on the 30th day after the Award Termination Date.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if on or prior to the 30th day after the Award Termination Date the Company terminates Participant’s employment because of Participant’s “gross misconduct” (as defined below), the right to receive a distribution of any previously vested shares, and accrued dividend equivalents, if applicable, will be forfeited.  For purposes of this Agreement, “gross misconduct” means any conduct that (A) is in competition with the Company’s business operations, (B) that breaches any obligation that Participant owes to the Company or Participant’s duty of loyalty to the Company, (C) is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, or (D) is otherwise determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Citigroup Board of Directors (the “Committee), in its sole discretion, to constitute gross misconduct.  For purposes of this Section 4(f), “Company” shall mean Citigroup and any of its subsidiaries.

(ii) If Participant transfers to a subsidiary that is not a member of the “controlled group” of Citigroup (as defined below), any unvested portion of the Award will be canceled as of the termination date of Participant’s employment.  Any previously vested shares, and accrued dividend equivalents, if applicable (less appropriate withholdings for the payment of taxes), will be distributed to Participant on the 30th day after the Award Termination Date.

For purposes of this Agreement, “controlled group” has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)(3).
