Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Citicorp
Mortgage Securities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CMSI”), proposes to sell to
you, as underwriter (the “Underwriter”), the offered class A and class B REMIC
Pass-Through Certificates (the “offered certificates”) described in Schedule I.
The offered certificates evidence ownership interests in a trust (the “Trust”)
consisting of the mortgage loans described in Schedule I (the “mortgage
loans”) and related property. The mortgage loans were originated or acquired by
the affiliates of CMSI identified in Schedule I (the “originators”), and will
have, at the close of business on the “cut-off date” specified in Schedule I,
the aggregate principal balance set forth in Schedule I. CMSI will elect to
treat the Trust, or one or more segregated pools of assets within the Trust,
as
one or more real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a “REMIC”) for
purposes of federal income taxation. The offered certificates are to be issued
under a pooling and servicing agreement (the “Pooling Agreement”), dated as of
the cut-off date, between CMSI, as Depositor, CitiMortgage, Inc. (“CMI”), as
Servicer and Master Servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, in its individual
capacity and as Trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Citibank, N.A.,
in its individual capacity and as Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and
Authentication Agent.
CMSI,
Citigroup Inc., and the Underwriter agree as follows:
1. Purchase
and Sale
Subject
to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties made in, this Agreement, CMSI agrees to sell to the Underwriter,
and
the Underwriter agrees to purchase from CMSI, all of the offered certificates
at
the purchase
price set forth in Schedule I.
2. Delivery
and Payment
CMSI
will
deliver one or more certificates representing each class of offered certificates
to the Underwriter’s account at the office, on the date and at the time (the
“closing date”) specified in Schedule I against payment by the Underwriter of
the purchase price to or upon the order of CMSI in the manner provided in
Schedule I.
1
Unless
otherwise specified in Schedule I, the offered certificates will be registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”), and the interests of beneficial owners of such offered certificates
will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and its participants.
Definitive Certificates representing the offered Certificates
will be available as set forth in Schedule I.
CMSI
will
have the offered certificates available for inspection by the Underwriter in
New
York, New York, one business day prior to the closing date.
3. Registration
Statement and Prospectus
(a) CMSI
represents and warrants to the Underwriter that CMSI has filed a registration
statement (File No. 333-130333), including a prospectus, with the
Securities
and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on Form S-3 that is effective under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement has been issued
and
no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated by the Commission. CMSI
further represents and warrants to the Underwriter that CMSI is not an
“ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, at the date
specified in paragraph 3.ii of such definition.
Such
registration statement, as revised, amended or supplemented, including
by the filing of the Prospectus (as defined below), will at the relevant date
be
the “Registration Statement” at that date. As used in this Agreement, the
Registration Statement will include, at the date of their filing, any documents
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
that are incorporated by reference into the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities
Act,
and the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus will refer to and include the filing
of
any document under the Exchange Act so incorporated by reference.
(b) The
Underwriter will advise CMSI of the final structure of the offered certificates
sufficiently in advance of the closing date so that CMSI can prepare a final
prospectus relating to the offered certificates (the “Prospectus”) for delivery
to the Underwriter no later than the closing date. CMSI will use its best
efforts to deliver the Prospectus to the Underwriter as soon as reasonably
practicable following the Underwriter’s advice
of
the final structure of the offered certificates. CMSI will file the Prospectus
with the Commission pursuant to and in conformity with Rule 424 under the
Securities Act. References to the Prospectus at any time will refer to the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such time. CMSI will, prior to the
termination of the offering of the offered certificates (the “offering”),
promptly advise the Underwriter
|
(i)
|
when
any amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the offered
certificates has become effective or any revision of or supplement
to the
Prospectus has been filed,
|
|
(ii)
|
of
any request by the Commission for an amendment of the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information,
|
2
|
(iii)
|
of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and
|
|
(iv)
|
of
the receipt by CMSI of any notification with respect to the suspension
of
the qualification of the offered certificates for sale in any jurisdiction
or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
|
CMSI
will
use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if
issued, to obtain its withdrawal as soon as possible. CMSI will not file prior
to the termination of the offering any amendment to the Registration Statement
relating to the offered certificates, or any revision of or supplement to the
Prospectus, unless a copy has been furnished
to the Underwriter for its review prior to filing.
(c) CMSI
represents and warrants to the Underwriter that the Registration Statement
on
each of the date of this Agreement, the closing date, and each time of sale
(as
defined below), and the Prospectus as of its date, the closing date, and each
time of sale following the date of the Prospectus
|
(i)
|
will
conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities
Act
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission,
|
|
(ii)
|
the
Registration Statement will not include an untrue statement of a
material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and
|
|
(iii)
|
the
Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not
misleading, except
that CMSI makes no representation or warranty concerning the statements
in
Schedule I under the heading “Underwriter’s Statements to be Included in
the Prospectus” furnished to CMSI by or on behalf of the Underwriter
specifically for use in connection with the preparation of the Prospectus
(the “Underwriter supplied Prospectus
information”).
|
For
purposes of clause (ii) of this section 3(c), the Prospectus will include static
pool information on a website for which a URL address or hyperlink was provided
in the Prospectus but which information is, pursuant to Item 1105(d) of
Regulation AB, not deemed to be part of the Prospectus or the Registration
Statement.
In
this
agreement, “time of sale” means the time of sale (as such term is used in Rule
159 under the Securities Act) of offered certificates by the Underwriter to
an
investor.
(d) The
Underwriter represents and warrants to CMSI that the Underwriter supplied
Prospectus information does not include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in
the
light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading when
considered in
3
conjunction
with the rest of the Prospectus. CMSI acknowledges that the Underwriter supplied
Prospectus information comprises the only written information furnished by
or on
behalf of the Underwriter for inclusion
in
the Prospectus.
(e) If,
at
any time when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act,
|
(i)
|
an
event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus at such time would
include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material
fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or
|
|
(ii)
|
the
Prospectus must be revised, amended or supplemented to comply with
the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder,
|
CMSI
will
promptly prepare and file with the Commission a revision, amendment or
supplement that corrects such statement or omission or effects such
compliance.
CMSI will consult with the Underwriter, to the extent reasonably practicable,
on
the preparation of such revision, amendment or supplement.
(f) CMSI
will
furnish to the Underwriter and its counsel, without charge, so long as delivery
of the Prospectus is required under the Securities Act, as many copies of the
Prospectus and any revisions or amendments thereof or supplements thereto as
reasonably requested.
(g) If
the
third anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs
within three months after the closing date, CMSI will take action as
necessary
to
permit the public offering and sale of the offered certificates as contemplated
by this Agreement.
4. Free
writing prospectuses and loan tape

promptly file with the Commission, a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act) containing general information about the
offering, the structure of the transaction (exclusive of a description of the
properties of any particular class of offered certificates), the expected
parameters of the mortgage loan pools, the expected subordination levels (±

loans (including all such static pool information, whether or not included
in
the Prospectus or Registration Statement pursuant
4
to
Item
1105(d) or Regulation AB, the “CMSI free writing prospectus”). CMSI will
promptly deliver to the Underwriter electronically in Portable Document Format
updated CMSI free writing prospectuses to correct any material misstatements,
or
omissions to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein
in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, in
previous CMSI free writing prospectuses. References to the CMSI free writing
prospectus at any time will refer to the CMSI free writing prospectus most
recently delivered to the Underwriter (including by correction of static pool
information on a website referred to in the CMSI free writing prospectus)
sufficiently prior to such time as to reasonably permit the Underwriter to
deliver the CMSI free writing prospectus to the relevant investor.

the time of sale, the CMSI free writing prospectus, and the loan
tape most
recently furnished by CMSI to the Underwriter (as supplemented or
corrected by CMSI prior to such time), will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which
they were made, not misleading , except
that CMSI makes no representation or warranty to the extent that
such
untrue statement or omission was the result of an untrue statement
or
omission in, or a failure to provide structural
information.

this
agreement, “structural information” means any of the following types of
information supplied
by the Underwriter to the investor,
to the

acknowledges that, to the extent the listing of the mortgage loans contains
any
nonpublic personal information, the Underwriter will be bound by the provisions
of Rule 11 of Regulation S-P and other applicable law regarding limits on
redisclosure and reuse of such information.
(d) The
Underwriter represents and warrants to CMSI that any written communication
containing material information about CMSI or its affiliates or the offered
certificates furnished to a prospective investor by the Underwriter, other

with the
CMSI free writing prospectus delivered to the investor, in light

by
CMSI to the Underwriter sufficiently prior to the time of sale as
to
reasonably permit the Underwriter to correct any statement made to
the
investor based on such misstatement, or
(B) the free writing prospectus substantially restates a statement in
the Prospectus or CMSI
|
6
free
writing prospectus (a “restatement”), and does not omit a statement in the

information delivered to the prospective investor, in light of the circumstances
under which the restatement was made, not misleading.

(i)
|
to
any investor who is not an institutional investor unless the sale
is
accompanied or preceded by delivery of the Prospectus,
and
|
|
(ii)
|
to
any investor prior to the time the Prospectus is filed with the SEC

writing prospectus and the supplemental information that is then
known or
available to the Underwriter.

(g) The
Underwriter will file with the Commission not later than the date of its first

such filing.

Underwriter will, in conformity with Rule 433(g) under the Securities Act,
retain all free writing prospectuses that it has used in the offering and that
are not filed with the Commission for three years following the initial bona
fide offering of the offered certificates. If there is any litigation or
threatened litigation against CMSI or any of its affiliates with respect to
the
offering, the Underwriter will, on CMSI’s request, make copies of such documents
available to CMSI.
(i) The
Underwriter will promptly provide CMSI with any information within the
Underwriter’s reasonable control that CMSI reasonably requests to enable CMSI to
meet its disclosure and reporting obligations under the Securities Act and

counterparty, special servicer or credit risk manager arranged by the
Underwriter in connection with the offered certificates to promptly provide

CMSI such narrative disclosure, financial information, including required
accountants’ consents, and other information as CMSI may reasonably request to

writer of the opinion is admitted to practice law, and the federal law of the
United States.
(d) CMSI
has
delivered to the Underwriter a letter, dated the closing date, of the General
Counsel, Finance and Capital Markets of Citigroup Inc., to the effect that
in
the course of such counsel’s review of the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus and discussion of the same with certain officers of CMSI and the
originators and their auditors, no facts came to the attention
of
such counsel that led such counsel to believe that
|
(i)
|
the
Registration Statement as of its effective date or the closing date
included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the
statements therein not misleading, or
|
|
(ii)
|
the
Prospectus as of its date or the closing date, included an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading,
|
it
being
understood that such counsel need express no view as to any information
incorporated by reference or any financial, numerical, statistical or
quantitative data in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.
(e) CMSI
has
delivered to the Underwriter an opinion, dated the closing date, of Cadwalader,
Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP,
special
tax counsel to CMSI, to the effect that the statements in the Prospectus under
the headings “Core prospectus-Taxation of certificate holders,” “Core
prospectus—Taxation of the Trust,” and “Prospectus supplement—Federal income tax
consequences,” to the extent such statements summarize material tax consequences
of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of the offered
certificates to the holders thereof described therein, are correct in all
material respects.
(f) The
Underwriter have received from Cadwalader, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP,
counsel
for the Underwriter, such opinion or opinions, dated the closing date, with
respect to the issuance and sale of the offered certificates, the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, and such other related matters as the Underwriter
may reasonably request.
(g) KPMP
LLP
have furnished to the Underwriter a letter, dated the closing date, in form
and
substance satisfactory to the Underwriter, stating in effect that they have
performed certain specified procedures, agreed upon between KPMG LLP, CMSI
and
the
12
Underwriter,
as a result of which they have determined that the information of an accounting,
financial or statistical nature with respect to “static pool information”
contained on CMSI’s website at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx relating to REMIC
pass-through certificates issued after January 1, 2006 and included in the
Prospectus under Rule 312 of the Commission’s Regulation S-T, agrees with the
accounting records of the originators, excluding any questions of legal
interpretation
(h) KPMG
LLP
have furnished to the Underwriter a letter, dated the closing date, in form
and
substance satisfactory to the Underwriter, stating in effect that:
|
(i)
|
They
have performed certain specified procedures, agreed upon between
KPMG LLP
CMSI and the Underwriter, as a result of which they have determined
that
the information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature
(which
is limited to accounting, financial or statistical information derived
from the general accounting records of the originators and which
is
obtained from an analysis of a sample of the mortgage loans) set
forth in
the Prospectus under the caption “Prospectus supplement—Summary—Series
overview—the mortgage loans at May 1, 2006 (the cut-off date)” and in the
detailed description relating to such prospectus supplement and the
mortgage loans agrees with the accounting records of the originators,
excluding any questions of legal interpretation.
|
|
(ii)
|
They
have compared the data contained in a data sheet or computer tape
prepared
by CMI for the mortgage loans to information contained in the mortgage
loan files furnished by the originators and in such other sources
as will
be specified by them, based on an appropriate sampling thereof, and
found
such data and information to be in agreement, unless otherwise noted
in
such letter.
|
(i) If
there
is more than one class of offered certificates, KPMG LLP have furnished to
the
Underwriter a letter, dated the date of the Prospectus, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Underwriter, stating in effect that:
|
(i)
|
Using
the assumptions and methodology used by CMSI (which include and do
not
conflict with any assumptions and methodology set forth in the
Prospectus), all of which will be described by reference in such
letter,
they have recalculated the percentages and weighted average lives
set
forth in the Prospectus in the tables relating to the “Prospectus
supplement—Principal balance as percent of initial principal balance” for
each class of offered certificates at certain percentages of the
prepayment model to be set forth in the Prospectus, compared the
results
of their calculations to the corresponding items in the respective
table
and found each such percentage and weighted average life set forth
in each
such table to be in agreement with the respective results of such
calculations.
|
13
|
(ii)
|
Using
the assumptions and methodology prescribed in the Prospectus, they
have
recalculated, for each distribution day (as defined in the Prospectus),
the aggregate of the amount of cash to be on deposit in the Trust
on the
determination day immediately preceding such distribution day and
found
that such aggregate amount equals or exceeds the aggregate amount
of
interest and distributions in reduction of principal balance that
is
distributable on the offered certificates on the following distribution
day, as recalculated by them.
|
|
(iii)
|
Using
the assumptions and methodology prescribed in the Pooling Agreement
and
the Prospectus, they have recomputed the last distribution day for
each
class of offered certificates and found such dates to be in agreement
with
those set forth in the Prospectus.
|
|
(iv)
|
If
one or more classes of offered certificates will be entitled to receive
distributions in respect of interest at other than a fixed rate or
distributions in reduction of principal balance according to a schedule
of
planned or targeted balances, or have other characteristics which
give
rise to the use of tables in the Prospectus reflecting yield or cash
flow,
such letters will also set forth such other statements as are customarily
set forth by KPMG LLP in such letters with respect to such
classes.
|
|
(v)
|
Using
the assumptions and methodology used by CMSI set forth in the Prospectus,
all of which will be described by reference in such letter, they
have
recalculated the percentages set forth in the Prospectus in the tables
entitled “Prospectus supplement—Weighted average lives and yields to
maturity—Pre-tax yield to maturity” of classes B-2 and B-3, compared the
results of their calculations to the corresponding items in such
table and
found each such percentage set forth in such table to be in agreement
with
the results of such calculations.
|
(j) Subsequent
to the date hereof, there will not have occurred any change, or any development
involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business or properties
of
CMSI which the Underwriter concludes, after consultation with CMSI, in the
judgment of the Underwriter, materially impairs the investment quality of the
offered certificates
so as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering
or the delivery of the offered certificates as contemplated by the
Prospectus.
(k) The
offered certificates have been rated at least the rating or ratings specified
in
Schedule I by the rating agency or agencies specified in Schedule I and such
ratings will not have been rescinded or placed under review.
(l) CMSI
have
furnished to the Underwriter such further information, certificates and
documents as the Underwriter may reasonably have requested not less than three
full business days prior to the closing date.
If
any of
the conditions specified in this section 8 are not fulfilled in all
material
respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions
and
certificates
14
mentioned
above or elsewhere in this Agreement are not in all material respects reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriter and its counsel, this
Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriter hereunder may be canceled
at,
or at any time prior to, the closing date by the Underwriter. Notice of such
cancellation will be given to CMSI in writing, or by telephone or telegraph
confirmed in writing.
9. Condition
to the Obligation of CMSI
The
obligation of CMSI to issue and sell the offered certificates will be subject
to
the satisfaction of the conditions that
(a) on
the
closing date the
class
X-0, X-0 and B-6 certificates (as described in the Prospectus) have been issued
and sold under the Purchase Agreement dated the date of this Agreement among
CMSI, Citigroup Inc. and the purchaser
thereof; and
(b) the
Underwriter has advised CMSI of the final structure of the offered certificates
sufficiently in advance of the closing date so as to enable CMSI to prepare
the
Prospectus for delivery to the Underwriter by the closing date.
10. Indemnification
and Contribution
(a) In
this
section 10,
|
(i)
|
“claims”
includes losses, claims, damages, expenses (including legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred in investigating or defending the claims,
and
damages resulting from the Underwriter’s having to reform a contract for
the sale of securities to an investor) or liabilities, joint or several,
(or actions in respect thereof) under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common
law
or otherwise, and
|
|
(ii)
|
a
“controlling person” of a party is a person that controls the party within
the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and
in the
case of CMSI includes any person who signed the Registration
Statement.
|
(b) CMSI
will
indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and each of its controlling persons
against any claims to which any of them becomes subject, to the extent such
claims arise out of or are based upon a breach of any representation or warranty
given by CMSI to the Underwriter
in section 3(a), 3(c) or 4(b).
(c) The
Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless CMSI and each of its controlling
persons against any claims to which any of them becomes subject, to the extent
such claims are based upon breach of any express representation or warranty
given by the Underwriter to CMSI in section 3(d) or 4(d).
(d) The
indemnities in sections 10(b) and 10(c) will be in addition to any liability
that CMSI or the Underwriter may otherwise have.
15
(e) If
a
person entitled to indemnification under this section 10 is notified of any
action or threatened action involving a claim for which the person may be
entitled to seek indemnification or reimbursement under this section 10, the
person must promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the action.
However, such person’s failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability to such person (i) under this
section 10 except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially
prejudiced by such failure, or (ii) otherwise than under this section 10.
The
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in any such action, and
to
the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified
person promptly after being notified by the indemnified person of the action,
to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the indemnifying party
and
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified person. However, if the defendants
in
any such action include both indemnified persons and the indemnifying party,
and
an indemnified person reasonably
concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified persons that are different from or additional to those available
to
the indemnifying party, the indemnified person or persons may select a single
separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate
in
the defense of the action on behalf of such indemnified person or
persons.
Upon
the
indemnifying party’s so assuming the defense of the action, the indemnifying
party will not be liable to the indemnified person in connection with the
defense thereof, except
|
(i)
|
for
the expenses of a single separate counsel to represent indemnified
persons
in accordance with the last sentence in the preceding paragraph,
or
|
|
(ii)
|
where
the indemnifying party does not employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to
the indemnified person within a reasonable time after the indemnified
person notifies the indemnifying party of the action.
|
The
indemnifying party will not be liable for a settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if
there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party will
indemnify the indemnified person from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party will settle any
pending or threatened proceeding without the prior written consent of each
person who could seek indemnity under this section 10 with respect to such
proceeding, unless such settlement
|
(i)
|
does
not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability
or a
failure to act by or on behalf of such person, and
|
|
(ii)
|
includes
an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability
on
claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.
|
(f) In
order
to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the
indemnification provided for in this section 10 is due in accordance with its
terms but is legally unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
person,
16
CMSI
and
the Underwriter will contribute to the aggregate claims to which CMSI and the
Underwriter may be subject in an appropriate proportion to reflect both the
relative benefits received
by and the relative fault of CMSI and the Underwriter, except
that no
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of section
11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. The relative benefits
received by CMSI and the Underwriter will be deemed to be in the same proportion
as the total net proceeds received by CMSI bears to the total underwriting
discount and commission received by the Underwriter. Relative fault will be
determined by reference to whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, or
such
inaccurate or untrue statement or representation, relates to information
supplied by CMSI or the Underwriter, the intent of the parties and their
relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement, omission or representation. For purposes of this section 10,
each controlling person will have the same rights to contribution as the related
party. Any person entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of
notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such person
for
which a claim for contribution may be made against a party under this section
(f), notify the party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission
to
so notify such party will not relieve such party from any other obligation
it
may have under this section (f) or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the
Underwriter will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price at which the offered certificates were offered
to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.
11. Termination
This
Agreement will be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the
Underwriter, by notice given to CMSI prior to delivery of and payment for the
offered
certificates, if prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally on
the
New York Stock Exchange has been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a general
moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York is declared by either
federal or New York State authorities, or (iii) there is a material outbreak
or
escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on
the
financial markets of the United States makes it, in the reasonable judgment
of
the Underwriter after consultation with CMSI, impracticable to market the
offered certificates.
12. Representations
and indemnities to survive
The
respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other
statements of CMSI and Citigroup Inc. and their respective officers and of
the
Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in
full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Underwriter, CMSI or Citigroup Inc. or any of the officers, directors or
controlling persons
referred to in section 10 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment
for
the offered certificates. The
17
provisions
of sections 10 and 13 hereof will survive the termination or cancellation of
this Agreement.
13. Obligation
of Citigroup Inc.
Citigroup
Inc. agrees, in consideration of and as an inducement to the Underwriter’s
purchase of the offered certificates from CMSI, to indemnify and hold harmless
the Underwriter, and each person who controls the Underwriter against any
failure by CMSI to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement,
including any obligation of CMSI to the Underwriter pursuant to sections 6
and
10 hereof, after receipt from the Underwriter
of written notice of any such failure.
14. Successors
This
Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto
and their respective successors and the officers, directors and controlling
persons referred to in section 10 hereof and their respective successors and
assigns, and no other person will have any right or obligation
hereunder.
15. Applicable
law
This
Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of New York.
16. Miscellaneous
This
Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings
relating to its subject matter. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof
may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a writing signed by
the
party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought.
17. Notices
All
communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only upon receipt
and,

have an interest-only period of ten years following origination.
The
aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans in each pool is
shown on
the Trade Ticket under Trade Amount, and is subject to an upward
or
downward variance by closing of up to 5%. The weighted average per
annum
interest rate of the mortgage loans in each pool as of the cut-off
date is
expected to be the percentage shown for the pool under wac—Final

shown
on the Trade Ticket. The weighted average remaining term to stated
maturity of the mortgage loans in each pool as of the cut-off date
is
expected to be the number of months for the pool shown under wam—Final

|
I-1
class
A
certificates”) and subordinated class X-0, X-0 and B-3 certificates (the
“offered class B certificates”).
If
there
is only a single pool of mortgage loans, each class of offered certificates
has
a principal balance equal to the percentage for the class specified under
size
in the
Trade Ticket of the Trade Amount specified in the Trade Ticket.
If
there
is more than one pool of mortgage loans:
(a) The
offered class A certificates (other than any offered class A-IO certificates)
in
each “group” (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) have a principal balance
equal to the percentage for the class specified under size
for the
related pool of the related Trade Amount specified in the Trade Ticket, and
(b) Each
class of offered class
B
certificates
has a principal balance equal to the aggregate of the principal balance of
its
component classes. The principal balance of a component class of a class of
certificates equals the percentage for such class specified under size
of the
Trade Amount,
as such
size
and
Trade Amount are
specified for the pool related to the group for the component class on the
Trade
Ticket.
The
principal balance of each class of certificates is subject to upward or downward
variance at closing of up to 5%.
The
offered class A certificates may include one or more classes of class A
certificates with the
prior
consent of an authorized officer of CMSI, which consent will not unreasonably
be
withheld. Additionally, class A-PO and A-IO certificates may be composite
classes of certificates formed from ratio-stripped PO and IO component classes,
respectively, from different pools.

certificates, notional balance) at closing of the offered certificates (other
than any composite classes or ratio-stripped PO classes of certificates) from
