possible maturity date
of each
class for purposes of section 860G(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code and
Treasury Regulations section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) will be February 25,
2037.
The
nationally recognized statistical rating
agencies
for the
senior classes are Xxxxx’x and Fitch, and for classes XX-0, XX-0 and IA-15 only,
S&P; the rating agency for classes B-1 through B-5 is Fitch.

Classes
IA-1 and IA-7 will benefit from yield maintenance agreements
with
Credit
Suisse International that may provide additional payments to
those holders
for distribution days for which LIBOR
is
greater than 5.4% for holders of class IA-1 certificates or 5.45%
for
holders of class IA-7 certificates. See section 28 “Yield maintenance
agreement” below.
|
|
**
|
Class
IA-9 will benefit from a reserve fund established by the Underwriter
to
provide additional payments to those holders for the first 12
distribution
days at an annual rate of 1.5%. Accordingly, the effective interest
rate
on the class IA-9 certificates for the first distribution day
will be 7.5%
per annum. See section 28.3, “Reserve fund for class IA-9 certificates”
below.
|
|
(4)
|
The
notional balance of class IA-2 on any distribution day will equal
the
principal balance of class IA-1 on that distribution
day.
|
|
(5)
|
The
notional balance of class IA-8 on any distribution day will equal
the
principal balance of class IA-7 on that distribution
day.
|
|
(6)
|
The
notional balance of class IA-14 on any distribution day will
equal the
principal balance of class IA-13 on that distribution
day.
|
|
(7)
|
The
notional balance of class IA-16 on any distribution day will
equal the
principal balance of class IA-9 on that distribution
day.
|
|
(8)
|
After
the first distribution day, each ratio-stripped IO class will
have a
notional balance on any distribution day equal to the aggregate
scheduled
principal balance of the premium loans of the related pool on
the last day
of the preceding month.
|
|
(9)
|
Each
ratio-stripped IO class will accrue interest on its notional
balance at an
annual rate equal to the weighted average net loan rate of the
premium
loans in its related pool minus the target rate for that pool.
The initial
annual interest rates for the ratio-stripped IO classes are expected
to be
approximately:
|
|
Class
IA-IO
|
0.4371797176%
|
|
Class
IIA-IO
|
0.3830348432%
|
12.3 Target
rate
The
annual target
rates
for the
pools are
pool
I: 6%
pool
II: 5.5%
Each
class other than any ratio-stripped IO or ratio-stripped PO class is a
target-rate
class.
12.4 Ratio-stripped
IO and PO classes
Each
of
classes IA-IO and IIA-IO is a ratio-stripped IO class, and class A-PO is
a
ratio-stripped PO class.
12.5 Loss
limits
There
is
no initial
special hazard loss limit,
initial
bankruptcy loss limit,
or
initial
fraud loss amount.
12.6 Denominations
The
denominations
of
· the
senior class certificates and the class B-1 through B-3 certificates are
initial
principal (or, for any IO classes, notional) balances of $1,000 and any
whole
dollar amount above $1,000,
· the
class
X-0, X-0 and B-6 certificates are $100,000 initial principal balance and
any
larger integral multiple of $1,000, and
12
· the
residual certificates are percentage interests summing to 100%.
If
the
initial principal or notional balance of a class is not a permitted denomination
for a certificate of that class, one certificate of the class may be issued
in a
different denomination.
12.7 The
mortgage loans
The
mortgage loans in the Trust Fund are identified on the mortgage loan schedule.
The mortgage loans in
· pool
I
will consist primarily of 20- to 30-year fixed-rate conventional one- to
four-family mortgage loans, and
· pool
II
will consist primarily of 10- to 15-year fixed-rate conventional one- to
four-family mortgage loans.
12.8 Right
to repurchase
CMSI
cannot
exercise its right to repurchase the mortgage loans pursuant to section
9.1(a)
of the Standard Terms unless
· the
aggregate scheduled principal balance of the mortgage loans is less than
$68,614,546.93 at the time of repurchase, and
· if
there
is an insured class outstanding and the exercise of such repurchase right
would
result in a draw under any certificate insurance policy, the Insurer has
previously consented.
12.9 Book-entry
and definitive certificates
All
senior class certificates (other than the ratio-stripped IO certificates)
and
the class B-1 through B-3 certificates will be issued as book-entry
certificates.
Book-entry certificates for a class or a group of classes will be represented
by
one or more certificates issued in the name of a depository. The ratio-stripped
IO certificates, the class B-4 through B-6 certificates, and the residual
certificates will be issued in fully registered certificated form (definitive
certificates).
12.10 Voting
interests
Each
IO
class will have a 1% voting
interest.
The
remaining voting interest will be allocated to the other classes in proportion
to their principal balances. The voting interest of any class will be allocated
among the certificates of the class in proportion to the certificates’ principal
or notional balances, except that an Insurer will be entitled to the voting
interest of an insured class for as long as the insured class is outstanding
and
the Insurer is not in default..
12.11 Cash
deposit
No
cash
will be deposited into the certificate account on the closing date.

13
|
Principal
balances
|
13.1 Class
balances
Each
class that is not an IO class will have a principal
balance,
and
each IO class will have a notional
balance.
The
principal or notional balance of multiple classes (e.g.,
the
senior classes) is the aggregate of the principal or notional balances
of those
classes.
The
initial principal or notional balance for each class is stated in “The series -
General terms for classes” above. The principal balance of each class that is
not an IO class will be adjusted on each distribution day, as described
in
“Adjustments to class balances” below.
The
notional balance of a ratio-stripped IO class for any distribution day
after the
initial distribution day will equal the aggregate scheduled principal balance
of
the premium loans of the related pool on the last day of the preceding
month.
The
notional balance of each IO class that is not a ratio-stripped IO class
will be
adjusted on each distribution day as described in “The series - General terms
for classes” above.
13
13.2 Certificate
balances
The
sum
of the initial principal or notional balances stated on the certificates
of each
class will equal the initial principal or notional balance of the
class.
Except
as
may be provided in “Retail classes” below, the principal or notional balance of
each certificate will equal its proportionate share, based on the initial
principal or notional balances stated on the certificates of the class,
of the
principal balance or notional balance of the class to which the certificate
belongs.
|
14
|
Allocations
|
14.1 Interest
allocations
Beginning
on the cut-off date, each class (other than any PO class) will accrue interest
for each month on its principal or notional balance at the certificate
rate for
the class stated in “The series - General terms for classes” above. In
calculating accrued interest,
· a
class’s
principal or notional balance on the last day of a month will be considered
to
be the class’s principal or notional balance on every day of the month,
and
· interest
for a month will be calculated at 1/12 of the certificate rate, regardless
of
the number of days in the month.
Example:
Suppose that on January 1, a class has a principal balance of $1,020,000
and a
certificate rate of 6% per annum. On the January distribution day, the
class’s
principal balance is reduced by $20,000. As a result, the principal balance
of
the class on January 31 is $1 million. Then the interest accrued for the
class
during January (which is paid on the February distribution
day) is 1/12 of 6% of $1 million = $5,000; that the principal balance of
the
class was greater than $1 million before the January distribution day,
and that
January has 31 days, are irrelevant.
A
class’s
interest
allocation
for a
distribution day is the sum of
· the
class’s current
interest allocation
for the
distribution day, consisting of the class’s accrued interest for the preceding
month minus
the
class’s proportionate share, based on accrued interest, of (1) any
non-supported prepayment interest shortfall, and (2) the interest portion
of any non-subordinated losses, for the preceding month,
· plus
any
excess of the class’s
interest allocation for the preceding distribution day over the interest
distributed to the class on that preceding distribution day (the interest
allocation carryforward
from
that distribution day). (If the class is an insured class, for purposes
of
calculating allocations and distributions to the class, the interest allocation
carryforward from a distribution day will be reduced by any payments to
the
class from the Insurer relating to the interest allocation carryforward,
but
will not be so reduced for purposes of effecting the Insurer’s subrogation
rights relative to the interest portion of any insured payment.)
14.2 Principal
allocations
The
principal
allocation
for a
distribution day is:
(a)
for any
ratio-stripped PO class, the sum for that distribution day of scheduled
and
unscheduled principal payments on its PO strip for that distribution
day.
(b)
for the
senior target-rate classes collectively, the
sum for
that
distribution day of
· the
target-rate class percentage for the senior target-rate classes of scheduled
principal payments on the target-rate strip, and
· all
unscheduled principal payments on the target-rate strip allocated to the
senior
target-rate classes pursuant to “ - Unscheduled principal” below.
14
· The
principal allocation for the senior target-rate classes will be allocated
among
the individual senior target-rate classes pursuant to “Allocations among the
senior classes” below.
(c)
for each
subordinated class,
· the
class’s target-rate class percentage of scheduled principal payments on the
target-rate strip for that distribution day,
· plus
the
class’s proportionate share, based on the principal balances of the subordinated
classes, of unscheduled principal payments on the target-rate strip for
that
distribution day that are not allocated to the senior target-rate classes
pursuant to the preceding paragraph (b),
· plus
or
minus
any
amounts that are reallocated to or from the class pursuant to “- Maintenance of
subordination” below.
14.3 Unscheduled
principal
For
each
distribution day, the following percentage of unscheduled principal payments
on
the target-rate strip received during the preceding month will be allocated
to
the senior target-rate classes:
· 100%
if
the target-rate class percentage for all the senior target-rate classes
on the
distribution day exceeds the initial target-rate class percentage for all
the
senior target-rate classes.
· otherwise,
and subject to the following proviso, the sum of (1) the target-rate class
percentage for the senior target-rate classes, plus (2) the following
percentage of the target-rate class percentage for the subordinated
classes:

that
· if
the
distribution day is one on which the percentage shown in the preceding
table is
to be reduced - that is, the 61st, 73rd, 85th 97th or 109th distribution
day -
and either the cumulative loss test or the delinquency test described below
are
not satisfied, then the percentage will not be reduced on that distribution
day
or on any subsequent distribution day until both the cumulative loss and
delinquency tests are passed, and
· if
the
cumulative loss test is not satisfied for a distribution day, the percentage
of
unscheduled principal payments allocated to the senior target-rate classes
will
be the greater of the percentage of unscheduled principal payments allocated
to
the senior target-rate classes for that distribution day calculated in
accordance with the preceding rules of this section, or the percentage
of
unscheduled principal payments allocated to the senior target-rate classes
for
the preceding distribution day.
The
cumulative
loss test
is
satisfied for a distribution day if cumulative realized losses through
that
distribution day do not exceed the following percentages of the initial
principal balance of the subordinated classes:

The
delinquency
test
is
satisfied for a distribution day if CitiMortgage certifies to the Trustee
that
the average of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of mortgage loans
delinquent 60 days or more (including, for this purpose, mortgage
loans
15
in
foreclosure and real estate owned by the Trust as a result of mortgagor
default)
for that distribution day and the preceding five distribution days is either
(1) less than 50% of the average of the principal balance of the
subordinated classes for those distribution days, or (2) less than 2% of
the average scheduled principal balance of all of the mortgage loans for
those
distribution days.
If
there
are composite and component subordinated classes, only the composite
subordinated classes are considered in the cumulative loss and delinquency
tests.
14.4 Maintenance
of subordination
The
subordination
level
for a
class (other than a ratio-stripped IO class) is the sum of the class percentages
of all classes that are subordinate to that class. If a class’s subordination
level on the day before a distribution day is less than the class’s initial
subordination level, then the class will have an impaired
subordination level
on that
distribution day.
If
a
subordinated class has an impaired subordination level on a distribution
day,
then all principal originally allocated to the subordinated classes will
be
allocated to the most senior of the subordinated classes with an impaired
subordination level and to those subordinated classes that are senior to
the
impaired class, in proportion to their principal balances, up to those
classes’
principal balances, and any remainder will be allocated to the remaining
subordinated classes, in order of seniority, up to those classes’ principal
balances.
Example:
Suppose that on a distribution day, (a) each of classes B-1 through B-6 had
a principal balance on the preceding day of $1,000, (b) the aggregate
principal allocation to the subordinated
classes is $3,120, and (c) class B-2 has an impaired subordination level.
Then on that distribution day
(1) the
entire amount allocated to the subordinated classes will be allocated to
classes
B-1 and B-2, in proportion to their principal balances, up to their principal
balances, and
(2) $1,000
of the remaining $1,120 will be allocated to class B-3, reducing its principal
balance to zero, and
(3)
the remaining $120 will be allocated to class B-4.

Allocations
among the senior classes
|
15.1 Order
of allocation among senior target-rate classes
On
each
distribution day before the subordination depletion date, the aggregate
scheduled and unscheduled principal allocated to the senior target-rate
classes
of a group will be allocated to the individual senior target-rate classes
of
that group as follows:
Group
I:
Principal allocated to the group I senior target-rate classes from the
pool I
target-rate strip will be allocated sequentially as follows:
First,
to
classes XX-0, XX-00 and IA-15, the amounts determined under ‘‘NAS
classes’’ below.
Second,
the
lesser of
· 99.99%
of
the amount remaining to be distributed, and
· $3,677,075
concurrently
to classes XX-0, XX-0, XX-00 and IA-13, in proportion to their principal
balances until their principal balances are reduced to zero.
Third,
concurrently,
· 73.2050595238%
concurrently to classes IA-1 and IA-7, in proportion to their principal
balances, until their principal balances are reduced to zero, and
· 26.7949404762%
sequentially to classes IA-12 and IA-9, in that order, until their principal
balances are reduced to zero.
16
Fourth,
concurrently to classes XX-0, XX-0, XX-00 and IA-13, in proportion to their
principal balances, until their principal balances are reduced to
zero.
Fifth,
to
class IA-3 until its principal balance is reduced to zero.
Sixth,
concurrently to classes XX-0, XX-00 and IA-15, in proportion to their principal
balances, until their principal balances are reduced to zero.
Group
II:
Principal allocated to the group II senior target-rate classes from the
pool II
target-rate strip will be allocated to class IIA-1 until its principal
balance
is reduced to zero.
Beginning
on the subordination depletion date, the priorities stated above will cease
to
be in effect, and, except as may otherwise be provided in “Super senior and
super senior support classes” below, the principal allocation for the senior
target-rate classes of each group will be allocated to the senior target-rate
classes of the group in proportion to their principal balances on the preceding
day.
15.2 NAS
classes
Classes
XX-0, XX-00 and IA-15 are non-accelerated
senior,
or
NAS
classes.
For
the
first 60 distribution days, the principal allocation for a NAS
class
will be zero.
For
distribution day 61 and after, the principal allocation for each NAS
class
will equal the percentage shown below of its proportionate share, based
on the
principal balances of its group’s target-rate classes, of scheduled and
unscheduled principal payments on the related pool’s target-rate strip allocated
to the group’s target-rate classes for that distribution day.

Distributions
|
16.1 Types
of distributions
Each
distribution will be either an interest
distribution,
a
principal
distribution,
a
reimbursement,
or a
residual
distribution,
as
described in “- Distribution priorities” below.
16.2 Accrual
and accrual directed classes
There
are
no accrual
or
accrual directed classes.
16.3 Distribution
priorities
Subject
to section 18, “loss recoveries,” on each distribution day, the pool
distribution amount will be first distributed to any Insurer to pay any
insurance premium, and then to the outstanding classes in the following
priority
(and, if there are any insured classes, the insured payment and amounts
withdrawn from the reserve fund will be applied to make payments to the
insured
class certificates as provided in “Insured classes” below):
(1) To
each senior class, first,
its
current interest allocation for that distribution day, and second
its
interest allocation carryforward from the preceding distribution day,
except
that an
accrual class’s
interest distributions may be
17
redirected
as described in “-
Accrual
and accrual directed classes”
above.
Distributions of current allocations among the senior classes will be in
proportion to current interest allocations for, and distributions of interest
allocation carryforwards will be in proportion to interest allocation
carryforwards to, that distribution day.
(2) (a) To
any ratio-stripped PO class, principal up to its principal allocation for
that
distribution day, and (b) to the senior target-rate classes, principal up
to their aggregate principal allocation for that distribution day, to be
distributed to the senior target-rate classes in the priorities described
in
“Allocations among the senior classes - Order of allocation among senior
target-rate classes” above.
(3) To
each subordinated class, in order of seniority, first,
interest up to its interest allocation for that distribution day, and
second,
principal up to its principal allocation for that distribution day,
except
that a
subordinated class’s principal distribution may be used to reimburse a
ratio-stripped PO class, as described in the following paragraph.
(4) Principal
distributed to the subordinated classes under the preceding paragraph will
be
used to reimburse a ratio-stripped PO class up to the amount of (a) any
realized subordinated losses previously allocated to the ratio-stripped
PO
class, and (b) any reduction to the ratio-stripped PO class’s principal
balance to reflect the excess of (i) the aggregate principal allocations to
the ratio-stripped PO class over (ii) the aggregate principal distributions
to the ratio-stripped classes, as described in “Adjustments to class balances”
below, to the extent that such losses and reductions were not previously
reimbursed under this paragraph (4) or “Loss recoveries” below. Such
reimbursements will be taken from distributions to the subordinated classes
in
order of subordination.
(5) To
each class, in order of seniority, a reimbursement of any reduction to
the
classes’ principal balances to reflect the excess of (a) the aggregate
principal allocations to the classes over (b) the aggregate principal
distributions to the classes, as described in “Adjustments to class balances”
below, to the extent such reductions were not previously reimbursed. Classes
with equal seniority will share in the reimbursement in proportion to such
unreimbursed reductions.
(6) To
the residual certificates, a residual distribution of the remaining pool
distribution amount.
A
class
that is no longer outstanding cannot receive a distribution.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this agreement, no distribution will be made
to a
subordinated class on a distribution day if on that distribution day the
principal balance of a more senior class would be reduced by any part of
the
principal portion of a realized subordinated loss.
16.4 Distributions
to certificate holders
On
each
distribution day, distributions to a class will be distributed to the holders
of
the certificates of the class in proportion to the principal or notional
balances of their certificates.
16.5 Final
distribution on the residual certificates
Upon
termination of the Trust in accordance with section 9.1, “Termination upon
repurchase by CMSI
or
liquidation of all mortgage loans,” any class PR certificates, and if there are
no class PR certificates, the LR certificates will receive
18
all
amounts remaining in the certificate account and in any retail reserve
fund
after all required distributions on the certificates, and any required
distributions to any Insurer, have been made.
16.6 Wire
transfer eligibility
The
minimum number of single certificates eligible for wire transfer on each
distribution day, for the certificates, is 1,000 (representing a $1,000,000
initial principal balance or initial notional balance) and, for the residual
certificates, a 100% percentage interest.
|
17
|
Adjustments
to class balances
|
On
each
distribution day, the principal balance of each class that is not an IO
class
will be adjusted, in the following order, as follows:
(1) The
principal balance of any ratio-stripped PO class will be reduced by realized
losses on its PO strip for the preceding month.
(2) The
aggregate principal balance of the target-rate classes will be reduced
by the
principal portion of realized non-subordinated losses on the target-rate
strip
for the preceding month. The reduction will first be allocated between
the
subordinated classes, collectively, and the senior target-rate classes,
collectively, in proportion to aggregate principal balances. The reduction
for
the subordinated classes will be allocated to the individual subordinated
classes in proportion to their principal balances. The reduction for the
senior
target-rate classes will be allocated to the individual senior target-rate
classes in proportion to their principal balances, except
that the
principal balance of an accrual class will be deemed to be the lesser of
its
principal balance or its initial principal balance.
(3) To
the extent that on the distribution day an interest distribution to an
accrual
class is redirected to an accrual directed class, the principal balance
of the
accrual class will be increased.
(4) The
principal balance of each class will be reduced by its principal distributions
for that distribution day, including
(a) principal
distributions to an accrual directed class that are redirected from interest
distributions to an accrual class, and
(b) principal
distributions to a subordinated class, even if part or all of those principal
distributions are, pursuant to section 16.3(4), used to reimburse a
ratio-stripped PO class.
However,
any portion of an accrual class’s interest distribution that, on the
distribution day before the class’s accrual termination day, is distributed as
principal to the accrual class itself, will neither increase nor decrease
the
class’s principal balance.
(5) The
aggregate principal balance of the target-rate classes will be reduced
by the
principal portion of realized subordinated losses on the target-rate strip
for
the preceding month. The reductions will be applied first to the subordinated
classes in order of subordination, in each case until the principal balance
of
the class is reduced to zero. If the realized subordinated losses exceed
the
principal balance of the subordinated classes, the principal balance of
the
senior target-rate classes will be reduced by the amount of the excess.
The
excess will be allocated among the senior target-rate classes in proportion
to
their principal balances, except
that for
this allocation, the principal balance of an accrual class will be deemed
to be
the lesser of its principal balance or its initial principal
balance.
19
(6) The
principal balance of any ratio-stripped PO class will be reduced by the
excess
of (a) the class’s principal allocation over (b) the class’s principal
distribution for that distribution day.
(7) The
principal balance of each target-rate class will be reduced, in order of
subordination, in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of (a) the
aggregate principal allocations to the target-rate classes over (b) the
aggregate principal distributions to the target-rate classes. Classes of
equal
seniority will share in such reduction in proportion to the amounts by
which the
principal allocation to each such class exceeded its principal distribution.
For
purposes of the preceding paragraphs (1) through (7),
· the
principal portion of a debt service reduction will not be considered a
realized
loss, and
· references
to the class principal balances in any paragraph mean the principal balances
after the adjustments required by the preceding numbered
paragraphs.
Where
the
principal balance of a class is reduced due to a realized loss under the
preceding paragraphs (1), (2) or (5), the loss will be said to be allocated
to
the class (an allocated
loss)
to the
extent of the reduction.
|
18
|
Loss
recoveries
|
The
following rules for loss recoveries supersede any conflicting rules in
“Distributions” or “Adjustments to class balances” above.
On
each
distribution day, the amount of any loss recovery for the preceding month
will
be distributed as follows:
First,
to each
senior class to the extent of and in proportion to its aggregate realized
losses
for that and all preceding months that were not previously reimbursed under
this
paragraph or, for a ratio-stripped PO class, paragraph 4 of “Distributions —
Distribution priorities” above.
Second,
to the
target-rate classes in the same manner as a distribution of unscheduled
principal.
Distributions
made pursuant to paragraph First
above
will not result in any adjustments to class balances, but distributions
made
pursuant to paragraph Second
above
will result in the normal adjustments to the class balances described in
paragraph 4 of “Adjustments to class balances” above.
The
principal balances of the subordinated classes will be increased in order
of
seniority to the extent of their aggregate realized losses for that and
all
preceding months that were not previously reimbursed under this paragraph,
up to
an aggregate amount for all subordinated classes equal to the loss recovery
less
the amounts distributed to the senior classes under paragraph First
above.
Example:
In May, there is a $1,000 loss recovery. On the June distribution day,
prior to
any distributions or adjustments, the senior classes have aggregate unreimbursed
losses of $100 of losses that were not subject to subordination and the
subordinated classes have aggregate unreimbursed losses of $700. (Unreimbursed
losses can be less than the recovery if some classes that previously absorbed
losses are no longer outstanding.) Then on the June distribution day,
1 $100
of the loss recovery will be distributed to the senior classes to reimburse
them
for previously allocated losses, but the distribution will not reduce the
principal balances of the senior classes.
2 The
remaining $900 of the loss recovery will be distributed to the target-rate
classes in the same manner as unscheduled principal, and class balances
will be
reduced by the amount of the distributions.
20
3 The
principal balances of the subordinated classes will be increased by $700,
in
order of seniority up to the amount of unreimbursed losses.
If
expenses on the liquidated loans for any month exceed the amounts recovered
on
the liquidated loans for the month, the excess will be treated as a realized
loss on the mortgage loans.

Additional
structuring features
|
The
preceding provisions for allocations and distributions, and for adjustments
to
class balances, are subject to the following sections on LIBOR
classes,
composite and component classes, multiple-pool series, retail classes,
and
insured classes.
|
20
|
LIBOR
classes
|
Classes
XX-0, XX-0, XX-0 through IA-9, and IA-16 are LIBOR
classes.
Each
LIBOR
class
will have a monthly LIBOR
accrual period
from the
day of the month indicated in the footnotes to the table in “The Series -
General terms for classes” above through the day preceding the first day of the
next LIBOR
accrual
period. The first LIBOR
accrual
period for a class will be the latest possible LIBOR
accrual
period that ends before the first distribution day.
Example:
The LIBOR
accrual period for a LIBOR
class begins on the 25th day of the month, and the first distribution day
is
February 25, 200x. Then the first LIBOR
accrual period for the class begins on January 25, 200x and runs through
February 24, 200x, the second LIBOR
accrual period begins on February 25, 200x and runs through March 24, 200x,
and
so forth.
A
LIBOR
class
will not accrue interest for any period before its first LIBOR
accrual
period. The interest rate for each LIBOR
class is
stated in “The series - General terms for classes” above.
CitiMortgage
will determine LIBOR
for each
LIBOR
accrual
period (after the first LIBOR
accrual
period) on the second business day before the beginning of each LIBOR
accrual
period as follows:
· LIBOR
for any
determination day will be the British Bankers Association LIBOR
rate for
US dollar deposits with a one-month maturity at 11AM,
London
time on that day, as such rate appears on Telerate Page 3750, Bloomberg
Page
BBAM,
or
another page of these or any other financial reporting service in general
use in
the financial services industry, rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest
multiple of 1/16 of 1%.
· If
no
rate is so reported on that day, CitiMortgage will determine LIBOR
on the
basis of the rates on that day at approximately 11AM,
London
time, at which deposits in U.S. Dollars with a maturity of one month in
a
principal amount of not less than U.S. $1 million and representative for
a
single transaction in that market at that time, are offered to prime banks
in
the London interbank market for at least four major banks in the London
interbank market selected by CitiMortgage. CitiMortgage will request the
principal London office of each such bank to provide a quotation of its
rate. If
at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR
will be
the arithmetic mean of those quotations.
· If
fewer
than two quotations are provided, LIBOR
will be
the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11AM,
New
York time, on that day by three major banks in New York City selected by
CitiMortgage for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks having
a
maturity of one month in a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1 million
that is representative for a single transaction in
21
such
market at such time. If the banks selected by CitiMortgage are not quoting
such
rates, LIBOR
will be
LIBOR
for the
preceding LIBOR
accrual
period.
CitiMortgage
may designate an affiliate or a third party to determine LIBOR.
|
21
|
Composite
and component classes
|
The
composite
classes
of the
series, and each composite class’s component
classes
are
shown in the table in “The series - General terms for classes”
above.
Each
composite class is comprised of two or more component classes. Certificates
are
only issued for composite classes. Component classes cannot be severed
from
their composite classes, and cannot be separately transferred. Component
classes
are, however, considered classes for all purposes of the preceding sections
on
allocations and distributions except
that all
distributions to the component classes of a composite class will become
distributions to the composite class. A composite class is not considered
a
class for purposes of allocations and distributions, but instead receives
all
the distributions made to any of its component classes. Voting is by composite,
not component, classes.
In
a
multiple-pool series, each subordinated class is a composite class formed
of two
or more component classes. Unless otherwise specified, references to a
“subordinated class” mean the composite class.
|
22
|
Multiple-pool
series
|
This
is a
multiple-pool series. The mortgage loans of this series are divided into
two
pools. Pool
I
consists
of the mortgage loans described in exhibit B-1, and Pool
II
consists
of the mortgage loans described in exhibit B-2.
Each
class of this series (other than certain composite classes) belongs to
a
group
of
classes related to a specific pool. The designation of each class in a
group
bears the roman numeral prefix of its related pool, and the group is referred
to
by that prefix.
Example:
Classes related to pool I bear the prefix “I,” as XX-0, XX-0, etc., and are
referred to collectively as “group I.”
With
exceptions described below, the classes of each group are treated like
a
separate series, with allocations to the classes of the group being based
solely
on payments on the related pool. Any ratio-stripping will be done on a
pool
basis, so that there will be separate PO, IO and target-rate strips for
each
pool, with the related group having its own target-rate, and ratio-stripped
IO
and PO, classes.
The
subordinated classes of each group will be component classes. A ratio-stripped
IO or PO class of a group will only be a component class if so designated
in
“The series - General terms for classes” above.
22.1 Adjustment
of subordinated component class principal balances
On
each
distribution day, the aggregate amount of any
· realized
subordinated losses on the mortgage loans in a pool, or
· excess
of
the aggregate principal allocations to the related group’s target-rate classes
over the aggregate principal distributions to those classes,
that,
in
accordance with “Adjustments to class balances” above, would reduce the
principal balances of the group’s subordinated component classes in order of
subordination if the pool and the related groups were considered a separate
series, will instead reduce
· the
principal balances of the subordinated composite classes in order of
subordination, and
22
· the
aggregate principal balance of the group’s subordinated component
classes,
by
that
amount.
Such
reduction in the aggregate principal balance of a group’s subordinated component
classes will result in adjustments to the principal balance of the subordinated
component classes of each group so the ratio of the principal balances
of the
component classes from each group will be the same for each subordinated
composite class.
Example:
Assume subordinated composite classes B-1 through B-6, each with a principal
balance of $1,000. There are two groups, I and II, and the aggregate principal
balance of each group’s subordinated component classes is $3,000. Then for each
subordinated composite class, the ratio of the principal balance of its
group I
component class to the principal balance
of its group II component class must be 1 to 1. Consequently, both the
group I
and the group II component class of each subordinated composite class will
have
a principal balance of $500.
Now
assume a $750 subordinated loss in pool I. Then
· the
principal balance of class B-6 will be reduced by $750, to $250, which
will
reduce the aggregate principal balance of the subordinated composite classes
to
$5,250,
· the
aggregate principal balance of the group I subordinated component classes
will
be reduced by $750, to $2,250, while the aggregate principal balance of
the
group II subordinated component classes will remain at $3,000;
· the
ratio of the aggregate principal balance of the group I subordinated component
classes to the aggregate principal balance of the group II subordinated
component classes will be $2,250 to $3,000, or 3 to 4;
· for
classes B-1 through B-5, the principal balance of the composite class will
remain at $1,000, but the principal balance of its group I component class
will
be approximately $428.57, and the principal balance of its group II component
class will be approximately $571.43 (a ratio of 3 to 4); and
· class
B-6’s principal balance of $250 will be comprised of a group I component class
with a principal balance of approximately $107.14, and a group II component
class with a principal balance of approximately $142.86 (a ratio of 3 to
4).
If
subordinated losses on a mortgage pool for a distribution day exceed the
aggregate principal balance of the subordinated component classes of the
related
group, the aggregate principal balance of such component classes will be
reduced
to zero, and the aggregate principal balance of the subordinated component
classes of the other groups will be reduced by the excess.
Example:
Suppose that in the series in the preceding example, the group I subordinated
component classes and the group II subordinated
component classes each have an aggregate initial principal balance of $3,000,
and that each subordinated composite class, B-1 through B-6 has a principal
balance of $1,000. Now suppose that there are $4,000 of subordinated losses
on
the mortgage loans in pool II’s
target-rate strip, but no losses on the mortgage loans in pool
I’s
target-rate strip. Then the entire $4,000 of losses will be allocated to
the
subordinated classes, reducing the principal balance of classes B-3 through
B-6
to zero. Classes B-1 and B-2 will each retain a principal balance of $1,000,
comprised of a group I component class with a principal balance of $1,000
and a
group II component class with a principal balance of $0. The principal
balance
of the subordinated group I component classes will thus be reduced by $1,000
even though there are no losses on the pool I target-rate
strip.
Subject
to “- Undercollateralization” below, if realized subordinated losses on a
distribution day exceed the aggregate principal balance of the
subordinated
23
classes,
the aggregate principal balance of the senior classes in each group will
be
reduced by the group’s proportionate share of the excess losses, based on the
proportions of all the losses for that distribution day in the mortgage
loan
pools.
Example:
Assume that for a distribution day, there are $2,250 of realized subordinated
losses in pool I and $4,500 of realized subordinated losses in pool II.
The
aggregate principal balance
of the subordinated classes is only $6,000. Then the principal balance
of the
subordinated classes will be reduced to $0, and the remaining $750 of losses
will reduce the aggregate principal balance of the senior classes of group
I by
$250 (or 1/3 of $750), and will reduce the aggregate principal balance
of the
senior classes of group II by $500 (or 2/3 of $750). The principal balances
of
the component classes of the subordinated classes are irrelevant for these
purposes.
22.2 Maintenance
of subordination
Impairment
of subordination for subordinated classes of a multiple-pool series will
be
determined based on composite, not component, classes. In determining whether
a
composite class has an impaired subordination level, the principal balance
of
the composite class will equal the sum of the principal balances of its
component classes. If a subordinated composite class has an impaired
subordination level, then principal will be allocated among the subordinated
composite classes pursuant to “Allocations - Maintenance of subordination”
above, and, for purposes of adjusting principal balances, will be further
allocated to the component classes in proportion to their principal
balances.
22.3 Distribution
shortfalls
If
on a
distribution day, payments on the mortgage loans in the target-rate strip
for a
pool are not sufficient to permit payments of any insurance premium due
to an
Insurer, and all interest and principal allocated to the senior target-rate
classes of the related group, then the pool may receive insurance premium,
interest and principal distributions from payments on the mortgage loans
in
another pool once any insurance premium due is paid to the Insurer, and
full
interest and principal distributions are made to the senior target-rate
classes
of the group related to the other pool.
Example:
Suppose that there are two groups of classes and that on a distribution
day,
cash available for distribution to the group I senior-target rate classes
from
payments on the pool I mortgage loans is $1,000 less than the
aggregate
interest and principal allocations to group I’s senior target-rate classes,
while cash available for distribution to the group II senior-target rate
classes
from payments on the pool II mortgage loans exceeds the aggregate interest
and
principal allocations to group II’s senior target-rate classes by $1,500. Then
$1,000 of the extra $1,500 available to group II will be used to make full
interest and principal distributions to the group I senior target-rate
classes,
and only the remaining $500 will be distributed to the group II subordinated
component classes.
If
there
are several pools for which mortgage loan payments do not provide enough
cash
for full distributions to the senior target-rate classes and any Insurer,
the
related groups will receive cash from other pools in proportion to the
aggregate
amount by which any insurance premium due to an Insurer, and interest and
principal distributions would otherwise fall short of interest and principal
allocations. If there are several pools where mortgage loan payments provide
cash in excess of the amount required for full distributions, they will
provide
cash to the senior target-rate classes, and any Insurer, of those
groups
24
related
to the other pools in proportion to the amounts of the excess.
22.4 Undersubordination
If
on a
distribution day before the subordination depletion date, the principal
balances
of all the senior target-rate classes of any group (but not the principal
balances of all the group’s subordinated component classes) have been reduced to
zero, and there is undersubordination (as defined below), then on that
distribution day, before any distributions are made,
· the
pool
distribution amount of the group will be reduced by an amount (the reduction
amount)
equal
to the lesser of (1) unscheduled principal payments on the related pool’s
target-rate strip received by the Trust during the preceding month and
(2) the excess, determined without regard to this section “-
Undersubordination,” of the pool distribution amount over the amount required to
be used to reimburse any ratio-stripped PO classes,
· the
principal allocation to each class in the group will be reduced by the
class’s
proportionate share, based on principal balances, of the reduction
amount,
· the
pool
distribution amount of each group whose senior target-rate classes have
not been
reduced to zero will be increased by a proportionate share of the reduction
amount based on the aggregate principal balance of the senior target-rate
classes of each such group, and
· the
aggregate principal allocation for the senior target-rate classes of each
group
whose senior target-rate classes have not been reduced to zero will be
increased
by the portion of the reduction amount added to its pool distribution amount,
which increased aggregate allocation will be further allocated among the
senior
target-rate classes in accordance with the rules in “Allocations among the
senior target-rate classes” above.
There
is
undersubordination
on a
distribution day if either
· the
subordination level of the senior classes (without regard to group) on
that
distribution day is less than 200% of the initial subordination level of
the
senior classes, or
· the
aggregate scheduled principal balance of the mortgage loans in any pool
that are
delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose mortgage loans in
foreclosure and real estate owned by the Trust as a result of Mortgagor
default), averaged over the last six months, is 50% or more of the principal
balance of the related group’s subordinated component classes.
22.5 Undercollateralization
Because
losses on a mortgage loan may be allocated in part to the subordinated
component
classes of a different group, the scheduled principal balance of a pool’s
target-rate strip could differ from the aggregate principal balance of
the
related group’s target-rate classes. If the scheduled principal balance of a
pool’s target-rate strip is less than the aggregate principal balance of the
related group’s target-rate classes, the group will be undercollateralized
by the
amount of the difference; conversely, if the scheduled principal balance
of a
pool’s target-rate strip is more than the aggregate principal balance of the
related group’s target-rate classes, the group will be overcollateralized
by the
amount of the difference.
If
a
group is undercollateralized, the normal distribution rules will be adjusted
as
follows:
(1) To
the extent that scheduled interest payments on the target-rate strip of
a pool
related to an overcollateralized group exceed the aggregate interest allocations
to
25
that
groups’ target-rate classes, plus any insurance premium due to an Insurer, that
excess, up to the amount of any interest allocation carryforwards that
the
undercollateralized group would otherwise experience on that distribution
day
and the insurance premium, will be deducted from the pool distribution
amount
for the overcollateralized group and added to the pool distribution amounts for
the undercollateralized group. If there is more than one such
undercollateralized group, or more than one overcollateralized group, then
(a) amounts will be deducted from the pool distribution amounts for the
groups that are overcollateralized in proportion to such excess interest
payments, up to the aggregate amount of such interest allocation carryforwards
and the insurance premium for the undercollateralized groups, and
(b) amounts will be added to the pool distribution amounts of the
undercollateralized groups in proportion to the amount of such interest
allocation carryforwards and insurance premium.
(2) Before
the subordination depletion date, if one or more groups is undercollateralized
and the principal balance of each of the groups’ subordinated component classes
has been reduced to zero, then (a) all amounts that (after required
reimbursements to any ratio-stripped PO classes) would otherwise be distributed
as principal to the subordinated component classes of the other groups,
up to
the aggregate amount by which such undercollateralized groups are
undercollateralized, will, in proportion to the aggregate principal balance
of
the subordinated component classes of such other groups, be deducted from
the
pool distribution amount and the principal allocations to the subordinated
component classes of such other groups, and (b) such amount will be added
to the pool distribution amounts and the principal allocations of the
target-rate classes of such undercollateralized groups, in proportion to
the
amount by which such groups are undercollateralized.
(3) After
the subordination depletion date, if a group is undercollateralized, then
· once
a
group’s target-rate classes are all reduced to zero, principal payments on the
related pool’s target-rate strip will be added to the pool distribution amount
and to the principal allocations of the target-rate classes of the
undercollateralized groups, in proportion to the amount by which they are
undercollateralized, and
· realized
losses on the target-rate strips of the pools related to the overcollateralized
groups will, up to the amount by which the group is overcollateralized,
not
reduce the principal balances of the target-rate classes of those groups,
but
will instead reduce the principal balances of the target-rate classes of
the
undercollateralized groups, in proportion to the amount by which they are
undercollateralized, and in accordance with “Adjustments to class balances”
above. If there is more than one overcollateralized group, the losses that
will
not reduce principal balance will be in proportion to the amount by which
each
group is overcollateralized. If there is more than one undercollateralized
group, the aggregate reductions in principal balances for each group will
be in
proportion to the amounts by which such groups are
undercollateralized.
22.6 Non-subordinated
interest shortfalls
Prior
to
the subordination depletion date, reductions to interest allocations due
to
(a) interest shortfalls due to the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
or any comparable state laws and (b) non
26
supported
prepayment interest shortfalls will be allocated pro-rata to all the classes
of
all the groups, regardless of the pools in which the shortfalls originate.
From
and
after the subordination depletion date,
· interest
shortfalls due to the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any comparable
state laws will be separately calculated for each pool, and will be allocated
solely to the classes of the related group, and
· the
compensating cap and non-supported prepayment interest shortfalls will
be
separately calculated for each pool, and non-supported prepayment interest
shortfalls for a pool will be allocated solely to the classes of the related
group.

After
the
subordination depletion date,
· losses
(other than non-subordinated losses) on a target-rate strip that would
otherwise
reduce the principal balance of the super senior classes will instead reduce
the
principal balance of the super senior support class up to an amount for
each
super senior class on each distribution day equal to the related support
percentage of the balance of the support class and up to an aggregate amount
for
each super senior class equal to the related support amount, and
· a
principal distribution that would otherwise be made to the super senior
support
class IA-11 will instead be made to the related super senior classes, in
proportion to the support percentages shown, until the principal balance
of the
super senior class is reduced to zero.
For
these
purposes, the principal balance of a super senior support class on a
distribution day will be determined after giving effect to the adjustments
described in paragraphs (2) through (5) of section 17, “Adjustments to class
balances,“ for that distribution day (which include the reductions for
non-subordinated losses, principal distributions and realized subordinated
losses), but before the adjustments required by this section 23.

REMIC
provisions
|
27.1 Constituent
REMICs
(a)
CMSI
and the
Trustee will make the appropriate elections to treat the Trust Fund, and
the
affairs of the Trust Fund will
27
be
conducted so as to qualify the Trust Fund, for federal income tax purposes
as
three separate constituent
REMICs
- the
pooling
REMIC,
the
lower-tier
REMIC,
and
the upper-tier
REMIC.
The
pooling REMIC
will be
the applicable
constituent REMIC
for
purposes of section 3.21.
The
assets of the pooling REMIC
will
consist of the mortgage loans, such amounts as may from time to time be
held in
the certificate account, any insurance policies relating to a mortgage
loan, and
property that secured a mortgage loan and that has been acquired by foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure and all proceeds thereof. Classes IA-IO,
IIA-IO,
A-PO, and the class P regular interests described below, are designated
as the
regular
interests
in the
pooling REMIC
within
the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 860G(a)(1). Class PR is designated
as the residual
interest
in the
pooling REMIC
within
the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 860G(a)(2).
The
assets of the lower-tier REMIC
will
consist of the class P regular interests described below, the Trustee’s rights
under any certificate insurance policy and reserve fund, any retail reserve
fund, and any assets in the lower-tier REMIC
account
described below. Classes IA-3 through XX-0, XX-00 through IA-12, IA-15,
IIA-1,
and B-1 through B-6, and any class L regular interests described below,
are
designated as the regular interests in the lower-tier REMIC.
Class LR
is designated as the residual interest in the lower-tier REMIC.
The
assets of the upper-tier REMIC
will
consist of any class L regular interests described below, and any assets
in the
upper-tier REMIC
account
described below. Classes XX-0, XX-0, XX-0 through XX-0, XX-00, XX-00, and
IA-16
are designated as the regular interests in the upper-tier REMIC.
Class R
is designated as the residual interest in the upper-tier REMIC.
27.2 The
class P and class L regular interests
There
are
four uncertificated class
P regular interests,
each
designated as “CMALT

Pass-Through Certificates,” and further individually designated as
a
· “PI-M
regular interest,”
· “PI-Q
regular interest,”
· “PII-M
regular interest,” and
· “PII-Q
regular interest.”
There
are
four uncertificated class
L regular interests,

28
27.3 Principal
distributions and loss allocations to class L and class P regular
interests
On
each
distribution day,
· the
class
LI-1 regular interest will receive a principal distribution, or allocation
of
the principal portion of realized losses, equal in the aggregate to the
principal distribution, or allocation of the principal portion of realized
losses, for that day, on class IA-1,
· the
class
LI-7 regular interest will receive a principal distribution, or allocation
of
the principal portion of realized losses, equal in the aggregate to the
principal distribution, or allocation of the principal portion of realized
losses, for that day, on class IA-7,
· the
class
LI-9 regular interest will receive a principal distribution, or allocation
of
the principal portion of realized losses, equal in the aggregate to the
principal distribution, or allocation of the principal portion of realized
losses, for that day, on class IA-9, and
· the
class
LI-13 regular interest will receive a principal distribution, or allocation
of
the principal portion of realized losses, equal in the aggregate to the
principal distribution, or allocation of the principal portion of realized
losses, for that day, on class IA-13.
For
each
distribution day, and for each pool x
and
y,
a
Px-M
regular interest will receive distributions of principal, or allocation
of the
principal portion of realized losses on the related target-rate strip,
so as to
keep its principal balance (computed to $.000001) equal to 0.01% of the
aggregate principal balance of the subordinated component classes of the
related
group. However, if the ratio of the principal balance of a Px-M
regular interest to the principal balance of a Py-M
regular interest is not the same as the ratio of the aggregate principal
balance
of the component classes xB-1
through xB-6
to
the aggregate principal balance of the component classes yB-1
through yB-6,
then
the least amount of principal will be distributed to the Px-M
or
Py-M
regular interest, as applicable, so that the ratio of the principal balance
of
the Px-M
regular interest to the principal balance of the Py-M
regular interest will be the same as the ratio of the aggregate principal
balance of the component classes xB-1
through xB-6
to
the aggregate principal balance of the component classes yB-1
through yB-6.
Also, for such distribution day, the Px-Q regular interest will receive
the
balance of the principal distribution, and allocation of the principal
portion
of realized losses on its related target-rate strip.
Recoveries
of previously allocated realized losses of principal will be allocated
to any
class P and class L regular interests in the same manner as realized losses
were
allocated to them.
27.4 Interest
distributions to class L and class P regular interests
On
each
distribution day, each class P or class L regular interest will receive
an
interest distribution at its certificate rate, and interest shortfalls
and the
interest portion of realized losses for the related target-rate strip will
be
allocated to such regular interest in the same proportion as interest is
allocated to them, provided
that
· (a) prior
to the subordination depletion date, non-supported prepayment interest
shortfalls will be allocated pro-rata to all the class P regular interests,
regardless of the pool in which the shortfalls originate, and (b) from and
after the subordination depletion date, non-supported prepayment interest
shortfalls for any pool x
(where
x
is a
variable for pool designations I, II, etc.)
29
will
be
allocated solely to the Px-M
and
Px-Q
regular interests, and
· (a) prior
to the subordination depletion date, any class L regular interest will
be
allocated its proportional share, based on accrued interest of any lower-tier
REMIC
regular
interests, of non-supported prepayment interest shortfalls, regardless
of the
pool in which the shortfalls originate, and (b) from and after the
subordination depletion date, any class L regular interest will be allocated
its
proportional share, based on accrued interest of any class L regular interests
and the other lower-tier REMIC
regular
interests designated class xA,
of
non-supported prepayment interest shortfalls for pool x.
No
interest shortfall amount or unpaid interest shortfall on any class P or
class L
regular interest will bear interest.
27.5 REMIC
accounts and distributions
(a)
CitiMortgage,
the
Trustee and the Paying Agent will
· perform
their duties in a manner consistent with the REMIC
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and will not knowingly take or
fail to
take any action that would adversely affect the continuing treatment of
the
Trust Fund as segregated asset pools and the treatment of each such segregated
asset pool as a REMIC
or would
result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund, or any constituent
REMIC,
and
· carry
out
their covenants in this agreement and the elections and reporting required
in
section 3.15 on behalf of each constituent REMIC,
including maintaining the following segregated accounts:
· the
certificate account,
· if
there
is a pooling REMIC,
a
pooling REMIC
account,
· a
lower-tier
REMIC
account,
and
· if
there
is an upper-tier REMIC,
an
upper-tier
REMIC
account.
Any
pooling REMIC
account,
the lower-tier REMIC
account,
and any upper-tier REMIC
account
will be established in the same manner as the certificate account.
CitiMortgage,
on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit daily in the certificate account
in
accordance with section 3.3 all remittances received by it, any amounts
required
to be deposited in the certificate account pursuant to section 3.2, all
other
deposits required to be made to the certificate account other than those
amounts
specifically designated to be deposited in any pooling REMIC
account,
the lower-tier REMIC
account,
or any upper-tier REMIC
account
in this section, “REMIC
accounts
and distributions,” and all investments made with moneys on deposit in the
certificate account, including all income or gain from such investments,
if any.
Funds on deposit in the certificate account will be held and invested in
accordance with the applicable provisions of section 3.2 and 3.20. Distributions
from the certificate account will be made in accordance with sections 3.6,
3.8
and these Series Terms to make payments in respect of the regular and residual
interests in any pooling REMIC,
the
lower-tier REMIC,
and any
upper-tier REMIC
and to
pay servicing fees in accordance with section 3.6(h) and any insurance
premium.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, regular and residual interests in any
pooling
REMIC,
the
lower-tier REMIC,
and any
upper-tier REMIC
will not
receive distributions directly from the certificate account. On each
distribution day,
· if
there
is a pooling
REMIC,
CitiMortgage,
on behalf of the Trustee, will withdraw from the certificate account and
deposit
by 12
noon
in
the pooling REMIC
account
all distributions to be made on such distribution day in respect of interest
on
or
30
in
reduction of the principal balance of any class P regular interests,
and
· if
there
is no pooling REMIC,
CitiMortgage,
on behalf of the Trustee, will withdraw from the certificate account and
deposit
by 12 noon in the lower-tier REMIC
account
all distributions to be made on such distribution day in respect of interest
on
or in reduction of the principal balance of the regular interests in the
lower-tier REMIC.
If
there
is an upper-tier REMIC,
CitiMortgage, on behalf of the Trustee, will immediately thereafter withdraw
from the lower-tier REMIC
account
and deposit in the upper-tier REMIC
account
all distributions to be made on such distribution day in respect of interest
on
or in reduction of the principal balance of any class L regular interests.
The
Trustee will cause to be distributed from the lower-tier REMIC
account
and any upper-tier REMIC
account,
to the extent funds are on deposit therefor, all amounts required to be
distributed with respect to the regular and residual interests in the lower-tier
REMIC
and any
upper-tier REMIC
as
specified in these Series Terms.
To
the
extent that any part of the lower-tier REMIC
account
or any upper-tier REMIC
account
is designated in these Series Terms as an investment account, the provisions
in
section 3.19 applicable to the investment of funds will apply to such
REMIC
accounts. In addition, section 3.3(a) regarding commingling will apply
to such
REMIC
accounts.
(b) CitiMortgage will
maintain books for constituent REMICs
on a
calendar year taxable year and on the accrual method of accounting.
(c) The
Trustee will not create, or permit the creation of, any “interests” in any
constituent REMIC
within
the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 860D(a)(2) other than the
interests
represented by the certificates or, if there are multiple REMICs,
the
uncertificated regular interests in any pooling REMIC
or (if
there is an upper-tier REMIC)
the
lower-tier REMIC.
(d) Except
as otherwise provided in the Internal Revenue Code, CitiMortgage will not
grant,
and neither CitiMortgage nor the Trustee will accept, property unless
(i) substantially all of the property held by each constituent REMIC
constitutes either “qualified mortgages” or “permitted investments” as defined
in Internal Revenue Code Sections 860G(a)(3) and (5), respectively, and
(ii) no property will be granted to a constituent REMIC
after
the startup day, unless the grant would not subject the constituent REMIC
to the
100% tax on contributions to a REMIC
after
the startup day imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 860G(d).
(e)
The
Trustee will not accept on behalf of the Trust Fund or a constituent
REMIC
any fee
or other compensation for services and will not accept on behalf of the
Trust
Fund any income from assets other than those permitted to be held by a
REMIC.
(f) Neither
CitiMortgage nor the Trustee will sell or permit the sale of all or any
portion
of the mortgage loans, or of an Eligible Investment held in the certificate
account or in any REMIC
account
(other than in accordance with sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 3.19(a)) unless
such
sale is pursuant to a “qualified liquidation” as defined in Internal Revenue
Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) and is in accordance with section 9.1.
27.6 Tax
matters person
If
in any
taxable year there will be more than one holder of any class of residual
certificates, a tax
matters person
may be
designated for the related REMIC,
who
will have the same duties for the related REMIC
31
as
those
of a “tax matters partner” under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of Subtitle F of the
Internal Revenue Code, and who will be, in order of priority,
(i) CitiMortgage or an affiliate of CitiMortgage, if CitiMortgage or such
affiliate is the holder of a residual certificate of the related REMIC
at any
time during the taxable year or at the time the designation is made,
(ii) if CitiMortgage is not a holder of a residual certificate of the
related REMIC
at the
relevant time, CitiMortgage as agent for the holder of the residual certificate
of the related REMIC,
if the
designation is permitted to be made under the Internal Revenue Code, or
(iii) the holder of a residual certificate of the related REMIC
or
person who may be designated a tax matters person in the same manner in
which a
tax matters partner may be designated under applicable Treasury Regulations,
including Treas-ury Regulations § 1.860F-4(d) and tem-porary Treasury
Regulations § 301.-6231-(a)-(7)-1T.

Yield
maintenance agreement
and IA-9 reserve fund
|
28.1 Yield
maintenance agreement
Classes
IA-1 and IA-7 are classes of yield
protected certificates.
The
Trustee is hereby directed to enter into one or more yield maintenance
agreements (together, the yield
maintenance agreement)
with
Credit Suisse International, (the yield
maintenance provider)
in
substantially the form attached as exhibit F. The yield maintenance agreement
is
an asset of the Trust, but not of any constituent REMIC.
Payments
to the yield maintenance provider will be made by the Underwriter, and
the
Trustee will have no responsibility for such payments.
Under
the
yield maintenance agreement, the yield maintenance provider will make
yield
maintenance payments
for the
benefit of the holders of the yield protected certificates.
Each
yield maintenance payment for a class of yield protected certificates will
be a
per annum percentage (the yield maintenance
percentage)
of an
assumed
principal balance
for the
class for the relevant distribution day. The yield maintenance percentage
will
equal the excess of LIBOR
for that
distribution day over the maximum
LIBOR shown
below for the class, up to the maximum
protection percentage
shown
for that class.

|

|
Where
the
annual rate for a class of certificates is specified as LIBOR
plus a
percentage
margin,
subject
to a maximum rate, the maximum LIBOR
will be
the excess of the maximum rate over the margin.
Example:
Suppose the annual interest rate formula for a class of yield protected
certificates is LIBOR
+
0.5%, subject to a maximum rate of 6%. Then 0.5% is the margin, and the
maximum
LIBOR
is
5.5% (the 6% maximum rate minus the 0.5% margin). In the absence of a yield
maintenance agreement, even if LIBOR
is
over 5.5% for a distribution day, certificate holders can not receive interest
at an annual rate of more than 6%.
Now
suppose that for a distribution day, LIBOR
is
6.3% and the actual principal balance of the class is $2 million, and that
under
a yield maintenance agreement for the class, the maximum protection percentage
is 3%, and the assumed principal balance for the distribution day is $1.6
million. Accordingly, the class will receive a yield maintenance payment
equal
to
32
one-twelfth
of 0.8% (the excess of 6.3% over the maximum LIBOR
of
5.5%) of $1.6 million (the assumed principal balance), or approximately
$1,067.
What
if LIBOR
had
been 9% rather than 6.3%? The excess of 9% over 5.5% is 3.5%, which is
greater
than the maximum protection percentage of 3%. Therefore, the class will
receive
an additional payment of only one-twelfth of 3% of $1.6 million, or
$4,000.
The
yield
maintenance payments for each class of yield protected certificates will
be made
to the paying agent, who will pass them through to the holders of the class
of
certificates in proportion to the principal balances of their certificates,
but
not more than will be required to pay the certificates an amount (the
yield
maintenance amount)
for
that distribution day equal to the yield maintenance percentage of the
actual
principal balance for the class for that distribution day.
Example:
Same as previously, with LIBOR
6.3%, but an assumed principal balance of $3 million, which exceeds the
actual
principal balance of $2 million. The yield maintenance provider will make
a
yield maintenance payment to the paying agent of one-twelfth of 0.8% of
$3
million (the assumed principal balance), or approximately $2,000, but the
class
will receive only the yield maintenance amount of one-twelfth of 0.8% of
$2
million (the actual principal balance), or approximately
$1,333.
If
for
any distribution day, the yield maintenance payment by the yield maintenance
provider to the paying agent for a class of certificates exceeds the yield
maintenance amount required to be paid to the holders of that class, the
excess
will be deposited in a yield
maintenance reserve fund
for that
class maintained in an account at the paying agent.
If for any distribution day, the assumed principal balance is less than
the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of a class of yield protected
certificates, the yield maintenance payment will be less than the yield
maintenance amount for the distribution day, and a shortfall will result.
Amounts in the yield maintenance reserve fund for the class will be used
to
cover the shortfall.
Once
the
principal balance of a class of yield protected certificates has been reduced
to
zero, or the Trust or the related yield maintenance agreement has been
terminated, any funds remaining in the yield maintenance reserve fund will
be
paid to the Underwriter. Thereafter, any payments resulting from the yield
maintenance agreement for the class will be paid to the
Underwriter.The
yield
maintenance reserve fund may not be invested.
The
yield
maintenance reserve fund will be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the
REMIC
provisions, beneficially owned by the Underwriter, who will be taxable
on all
such amounts or income thereon, and who will be entitled to any reimbursement
from the REMICs
with
respect thereto.
28.2 Reserve
fund for class IA-9 certificates
The
Underwriter has established a reserve fund (the IA-9
reserve fund)
of
$463,890 with the Paying Agent for the benefit of holders of the class
IA-9
certificates. For the first 12 distribution days only, the Paying Agent
will pay
to holders of such certificates from the IA-9 reserve fund an additional
1.5%
per annum interest on the principal balance of their certificates. Promptly
following the 12th distribution day, the Paying Agent will pay any amounts
remaining in the IA-9 reserve fund to the Underwriter. Any fees or charges
agreed upon by the Underwriter and the Paying Agent for the
establishment
33
and
operation of the IA-9 reserve fund will be paid by the Underwriter, and
may not
be charged against the IA-9 reserve fund.
The IA-9 reserve fund will be an investment account. The Paying Agent
may accept
instructions from the Underwriter as to the investment of funds in the
IA-9
reserve fund in eligible investments in accordance with section 3.19
(except as
modified by this section 28.2) and the other provisions of this agreement.
In
the absence of such instructions, funds in the IA-9 reserve fund may
not be
invested. Investment income on the IA-9 reserve fund will be the property
of the
Underwriter, and will not be deposited in the certificate account. Any
losses on
such investments may be offset against income on such investments, but
may not
be charged to the certificate account or against the initial deposit
in the
reserve fund.
28.3 Tax
treatment
CitiMortgage
will treat the portion of the Trust that holds the right of the yield
protected
certificates to receive payments under the yield maintenance agreement
and the
yield maintenance reserve fund, and the right of the class IA-9 certificates
to
receive payments from the IA-9 reserve fund, as a grantor trust for federal
income tax purposes. The yield maintenance agreement, the yield maintenance
reserve fund, the IA-9 reserve fund, and the right of the IA-9 certificates
to
receive payments from the IA-9 reserve fund are not assets of any
REMIC..
CitiMortgage
will treat
· the
holders of the yield protected certificates as the beneficial owners of
the
right to receive payments under the yield maintenance agreement and the
Underwriter as the beneficial owner of the yield maintenance reserve fund,
including any payments under the yield maintenance agreement that exceed
the
payments distributable to the holders of the yield protected certificates,
and
· the
holders of the class IA-9 certificates as the beneficial owners of the
right to
receive payments from the IA-9 reserve fund, and the Underwriter as the
beneficial owner of the IA-9 reserve fund. The Underwriter will be taxable
on
any income on the IA-9 reserve fund.
Based
on
information provided annually by CitiMortgage with respect to the yield
protected certificates and the class IA-9 certificates, CitiMortgage will
report
annually to the holders of the yield protected certificates and the class
IA-9
certificates and to the IRS
(as
attachments to Form 1041 or other applicable form) their allocable shares
of
income and expense with respect to
· for
the
yield protected certificates, their right to receive payments under the
yield
maintenance agreement under the rules applicable to notional principal
contracts, taking into account the portion of the original issue price
of the
yield protected certificates allocable to their right to receive payments
under
the yield maintenance agreement, and treating each holder of yield protected
certificates as if it were an original holder, and
· for
the
class IA-9 certificates, their right to receive payments from the IA-9
reserve
fund under the rules applicable to debt instruments, and treating each
holder of
class IA-9 certificates as if it were an original holder.
CitiMortgage
will not vary the investment of the holders of the yield protected certificates
or the class IA-9 certificates to take advantage of variations in market
rates
of interest to improve their rates of return.

debt
service reduction:
For a
mortgage loan, a reduction in the scheduled monthly loan payment for the
mortgage loan by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding under the

constitute a deficient valuation. If the court proceeding results in an
increase
in the scheduled payment for a month (for example, a final balloon payment
or a
payment in a month after the originally scheduled maturity of the mortgage
loan), the increased payment will be considered a scheduled payment and
not a
debt service reduction.
Example:
Suppose a homeowner has a mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance
of
$50,000 and an interest rate of 7%. The loan has 10 years to run. The homeowner
files for bankruptcy, and the bankruptcy court (1) reduces
the outstanding principal balance to $40,000, (2) reduces the interest rate
to 6%, and (3) stretches the payments out to 20 years.
Then
· the
$10,000 reduction in principal owed is a bankruptcy loss, and
· the
difference between the monthly payment the homeowner would have made on
the
remaining $40,000 at the original interest rate and maturity, and the monthly
payment the homeowner is now required to make on the new lower interest
rate and
extended maturity, is a debt service reduction, and
· payments
in the final 10 years (that is, after the originally scheduled maturity)
will be
scheduled payments.
deficient
valuation:
For a
mortgage loan, a valuation by a court of competent jurisdiction of the
mortgaged
property in an amount less than the then-outstanding indebtedness under
the
mortgage loan, or a reduction in the scheduled monthly principal payment
that

some or all of its
38
servicing
obligations pursuant to section 4.5.

all of CMSI’s
right,
title and interest in and to
· the
mortgage loans, including all remittances received or receivable by CMSI
on or
with respect to the mortgage loans (other than payments of principal and
interest due and payable on the mortgage loans, and principal prepayments
thereon received, on or before the cut-off date), and
· the
proceeds of any title, primary mortgage, hazard or other insurance policies
related to the mortgage loans.
Such
transfer and assignment is absolute, is made in exchange for the certificates
described in section 12, and is intended by the parties to be a sale.
Nonetheless, to the extent such transfer is held not to be a sale under
applicable law, it is intended that this agreement shall be a security
agreement
under applicable law, and CMSI
shall be
deemed to have granted to the Trustee, for the benefit of the certificate
holders and any Insurer, a security interest in the Trust Fund, including
the
mortgage loans, mortgage notes and related documents. CMSI
will, at
its own expense, take any action reasonably requested by the Trustee to
confirm,
perfect, and protect the priority of, the security interest granted hereby,
including the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in
the
appropriate jurisdictions.
CMSI
will not
transfer any other property to the Trust Fund except as expressly permitted
by
this agreement.
The
Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents and other property referred
to in
section 2.1, and declares that the Trustee will hold such documents and
other
property, including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust,
upon the trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future
certificate holders and any Insurer.
(b) The
Trustee and CitiMortgage have entered into a Mortgage
Document Custodial Agreement

all
present and future certificate holders. The Mortgage Document Custodian
may be

or an
independent entity.
The
Trustee may at any time remove the initial or any successor Mortgage Document
Custodian, and enter into a Mortgage Document Custodial Agreement substantially
in the form of exhibit C hereto pursuant to which the Trustee appoints
a
successor Mortgage Document Custodian to hold the Mortgage Documents in
trust
for the Trustee and the benefit of the Trustee, all present and future
certificate holders, and any Insurer, which Agreement may provide that
the
Mortgage Document Custodian shall conduct the review of each Mortgage File
required under the first paragraph of section 2.3(b), except that, if the
Mortgage Document Custodian so appointed is CMSI
or an
affiliate of CMSI,
the
Trustee may conduct such review.
(c) CMSI
will on
or before the closing date deliver to the Mortgage Document
53
Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee to be held in trust the following documents or

by
local law, in a blanket assignment or assignments of the mortgage to the

of
title from the original mortgagee named under the mortgage to the Originator
or
such affiliate and to the Trustee, except
that
(x) a blanket assignment need not be in recordable form but shall be
delivered with a limited power of attorney authorizing the Custodian, on
behalf
of the Trustee, to act for the Originator or such affiliate in preparing,
executing, delivering and recording in the Trustee’s name any instruments for
recording assignments of the related mortgages to the Trustee, (y) if the
mortgage is registered with MERS,
only
assignments from the origination of the mortgage to its assignment to
MERS
will be
required, and (z) if the mortgage was originated with MERS
as the
original mortgagee (a “MOM
loan”),
no interim assignment will be required.

evidence of recording thereon and executed original UCC-3 financing statements
or other appropriate UCC financing statements required by state law, evidencing
a complete and unbroken chain from the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence
of

(e) CMSI
will,
on
or before the closing date, deposit in the certificate account
· all
payments on the mortgage loans that
CMSI
receives
after the cut-off date and before the closing date, to the extent such
payments
are being transferred and assigned to the Trustee under this agreement,
except
any portion of such payments on mortgage loans (including servicing fees)
of a
type not required to be deposited therein as specified in section 11 or
the
Series Terms, and
· any
amount required to be so deposited under the Series Terms.
(f) If
CMSI
is
required under this section 2.1 to deliver an original recorded mortgage
or a
completed assignment in recordable form to the Mortgage Document Custodian
by
the closing date, but cannot do so because of a delay in recording the
mortgage,
CMSI
may
instead
· deliver
a
copy of the mortgage, provided that CMSI
certifies that the original mortgage has been delivered to a title insurance
company for recordation after receipt of its policy of title insurance
or binder
therefor (which may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title
insurance), and
· an
assignment to the Trustee completed except for recording information.
In
all
such instances, CMSI
will
deliver the original recorded mortgage and completed assignment (if applicable)
to the Mortgage Document Custodian promptly upon receipt of such mortgage.
If
an
original recorded mortgage has been lost or misplaced, CMSI
or the
related title insurance company may deliver, in lieu of the mortgage, a
copy of
the mortgage bearing recordation information and certified as true and
correct
by the office in which the original mortgage was recorded.
If
CMSI
cannot
deliver the original or a copy of a title insurance policy (which may be
a
certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) for a mortgaged
property to the Mortgage Document Custodian by the closing date because
the
policy is not yet available, CMSI
may
instead deliver a
55
binder
for the policy, and deliver the original or a copy of the policy to the
Trustee
when available.
If
CMSI
cannot
deliver an original assumption, modification, buydown or
conversion-to-fixed-interest-rate agreement to the Mortgage Document Custodian
by the closing date, CMSI
may
instead deliver a certified copy thereof. CMSI
will
deliver the original assumption, modification, buydown or
conversion-to-fixed-interest-rate agreement to the Trustee promptly upon
receipt
thereof.
CMSI
will, at
its own expense, prepare and deliver to the Mortgage Document Custodian
each
assignment referred to in clause (a)(iv) or (b)(vi) and (b)(ix) above as
soon as
practicable but not later than 60 days after the date of initial issuance
of the
certificates. For each mortgage relating to a mortgaged property located
in a
state for which the rating agencies require recordation of such assignments
(as
will be specified in the Series Terms or a CMSI
officer’s certificate), CMSI
intends
to record the assignment in the appropriate public office for real property
records (or supply the Mortgage Document Custodian with evidence of recordation)
as soon as practicable after the initial issuance of the certificates.
Except as
provided in this section, neither CMSI
nor any
Originator or affiliate of any Originator will have any obligation to record
any
assignment of any mortgage in order to name the Trustee as mortgagee of
record.
The preceding sentence will not be in derogation of the obligation of
CMSI,
the
Originators and affiliates of the Originators to record (and supply the
Mortgage
Document Custodian with evidence thereof) assignments of mortgages required
in
order that CMSI,
an
Originator or an affiliate of an Originator be shown as mortgagee of record
of
each mortgage.
CMSI
will, at
its own expense, record any UCC-3 financing statements not previously recorded,
and will supply the Mortgage Document Custodian with evidence of the
recordation. CMSI
intends
to effect recordation in the appropriate public office as soon as practicable
after the initial issuance of the certificates.
For
mortgage loans that have been prepaid in full after the cut-off date and prior
to the closing date, CMSI,
in lieu
of delivering the above documents to the Mortgage Document Custodian, will
on
the closing date deliver a certification of a Servicing Officer as set
forth in
section 3.13.
(g)
Concurrently with the transfer and assignment to the Trustee of the mortgage
loans, the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will, in accordance with
a
written order or request signed in CMSI’s
name
by an Authorized Officer, authenticate and deliver to or upon CMSI’s
order,
duly authenticated certificates in authorized denominations evidencing
the
entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee acknowledges that to the
extent
it holds any class P or class L regular interests, it holds such regular
interests as assets of the lower-tier or upper-tier REMIC,
as
described in the Series Terms.
(h)
CMSI
and the
Trustee agree and understand that it is not intended that any mortgage
loan be
included in the Trust that is a “High-Cost Home Loan,” as defined in either the
Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law, effective January 1, 2005, the New Jersey
Home
Ownership Security Act of 2002, effective November 27, 2003, or the New
Mexico
Home Loan Protection Act, effective January 1, 2004, or a “high cost home
mortgage loan,” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices
Act, effective November 9, 2004.

dates respecting which such information is furnished, and the information
provided to the rating agencies, including the loan-level detail, is true

· the
lien
of current real property taxes and assessments as limited in clause (vi)
below,
· covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters

origination of the related mortgage loan,
· other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject that do not in the
aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to be
provided by the mortgage, and

the
right of the related cooperative to cancel the related shares and terminate
the
proprietary lease for unpaid assessments (general and special) owed by
the
mortgagor;

CMSI
has good
title to, and is the sole legal owner of, each mortgage loan (except as

in
clause (v) below);
(iv) As
of the
cut-off date, no payment of principal of or interest on any mortgage loan
was 30
days or more past due (a mortgage loan being considered 30 days past due

high
cost loan under the predatory lending law of any jurisdiction in which
a
mortgaged property is located, no mortgage loan is a “High Cost Loan” or
“Covered Loan,” as such terms are defined
57

if any, will be sufficient, after crediting interest at the rate per annum,
if
any, specified in the buydown agreement compounded monthly to the buydown
account and adding the amounts required to be paid by the mortgagor, to
make the
scheduled payments stated in the mortgage note for the term of the buydown
subsidy agreement;
(xv) Each
mortgage loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)

The
representations and warranties in this section 2.2 will survive delivery
of the
mortgage files to the Trustee.
2.3 Repurchase
or substitution of mortgage loans
(a)
Each
of CMSI,
CitiMortgage and the Trustee will promptly notify the other parties if
it
discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties in section
2.2
that materially and adversely affects the interests of the certificate
holders
or any Insurer in a mortgage loan (including a
58
mortgage
loan substituted for a nonconforming mortgage loan pursuant to section
2.4) (a
material
breach).
(b)
Pursuant to the Mortgage Document Custodial Agreement, the Mortgage Document
Custodian will review each mortgage file within 90 days after the closing
date
to ascertain that all required documents have been executed, received and
recorded, if applicable, and that such documents relate to the mortgage
loans
identified in exhibit B. If the Mortgage Document Custodian finds that
a
document in a mortgage file is missing or materially defective, the Mortgage
Document Custodian will promptly notify CitiMortgage and CMSI
by
e-mail.
(c)
If
CMSI
is
notified of a material breach, CMSI
will
have 60 days after the notice (or a longer period approved in advance in
writing
by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee) to cure the breach in all material
respects, or to repurchase the mortgage loan or substitute eligible substitute
mortgage loans, as provided in this section 2.3.
If
CMSI
is
notified by the Mortgage Document Custodian that the documentation for
a
mortgage loan is defective, CMSI
will
have 180 days after the notice to cure the breach in all material respects,
or
to repurchase the mortgage loan or substitute eligible substitute mortgage
loans, as provided in this section 2.3, except that CMSI
will
only have 90 days after the notice to cure, cure, repurchase, or substitute
if
the defect causes the mortgage loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” under
Internal Revenue Code section 860G(a)(3).
(d)
Any
repurchase by CMSI
of a
mortgage loan will be at a price equal to
(i) 100%
of the scheduled principal balance of the mortgage loan on the date of
repurchase, plus
(ii) accrued
and unpaid interest thereon at the pass-through rate to the first day of
the
following month, plus
(iii) any
costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation
by
such mortgage loan of any predatory lending law, plus
(iv) aggregate
outstanding advances for the mortgage loan, to the extent not recovered
in (ii)
above.
(e)
CMSI
will pay
the repurchase price to CitiMortgage, which will promptly deposit the repurchase
price in the certificate account. A repurchase of a mortgage loan under
this
section 2.3 will be considered a prepayment in full of the mortgage loan
on the
date of repurchase. Upon the Trustee’s receipt of written notice of the deposit
signed by an Authorized Officer of CitiMortgage, the Trustee will direct
the
Mortgage Document Custodian to release the related mortgage file to CMSI
and will
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment furnished
to the
Trustee, in each case without recourse, as CMSI
reasonably requests, to vest the mortgage loan in CMSI.
Repurchase of the mortgage loan by CMSI
will be
deemed to include the right to receive any remittance on the mortgage loan
payable or received on or after the date of repurchase, and CitiMortgage
will,
upon receipt, promptly pay CMSI
the
amount of any such remittance.
(f)
CMSI
may,
instead of repurchasing a mortgage loan pursuant to this section 2.3, substitute
one or more eligible substitute mortgage loans (as defined below) for one
or
more nonconforming mortgage loans. Such a substitution will take place
on a
business day designated by CMSI
(the
substitution
day)
occurring before the second anniversary of the startup day, subject to
satisfaction of the conditions in section 2.1 and the following
conditions:
59
(i) no
Event
of Default is continuing; and
(ii) the aggregate
scheduled principal balance of all eligible substitute mortgage loans
substituted on the substitution day (determined for each eligible substitute
mortgage loan as of the substitution day) does not exceed 40% of the aggregate
scheduled principal balance of all mortgage loans as of the closing
date;
(g)
An
eligible
substitute mortgage loan:
is a
mortgage loan
· for
which
all payments of principal and interest due on or before the substitution
day
have been received,
·
that has
a mortgage note rate equal to or greater than the highest mortgage note
rate of
any mortgage loan for which it is being substituted,
· that
matures no later than, and no more than one year before, any mortgage loan
for
which it is being substituted,
· that
has
an original term to maturity equal to each mortgage loan for which it is
being
substituted, and
· that
has
a scheduled principal balance that, together with any other eligible substitute
mortgage loans being substituted on that substitution day, and any funds
CMSI
deposits
in the certificate account relating to the substitution (the
substitution adjustment amount)
equals
or exceeds the mortgage loans for which they are being substituted.
The
substitution adjustment amount will be separately accounted for as a reserve
fund in the certificate account and will be remitted to certificate holders
in
the month following receipt when the repurchase proceeds are remitted to
compensate for the resulting shortfall incurred in connection with the
substitution of mortgage loans.
(h)
If,
on the substitution day, any installment of principal and interest has
been
received in the certificate account where the principal portion has not
been
applied to reduce the scheduled principal balance of the mortgage loan
that is
being substituted for, because the installment was received before the
first day
of the applicable month, the full amount of such prepaid installment will
be
paid on the substitution day to CMSI
from the
certificate account.
(i)
Upon
a substitution of mortgage loans pursuant to this section 2.3,
· exhibit
B
to this agreement will be deemed to be amended to exclude all mortgage
loans
being replaced by such eligible substitute mortgage loans and to include,
pursuant to section 10.1, the information in the supplemental mortgage
loan
schedule regarding the eligible substitute mortgage loans, and all references
in
this agreement to mortgage loans will include such eligible substitute
mortgage
loans,
· CMSI
will be
deemed to represent and warrant, as of the substitution day, that the
representations and warranties in section 2.2 are true of the eligible
substitute mortgage loans, and
· the
Trustee will release to CMSI
the
nonconforming mortgage loans and execute and deliver any instruments of
transfer
or assignment required to transfer, without recourse, the nonconforming
mortgage
loans to CMSI.
(j)
CMSI’s
obligation under this section 2.3 to repurchase or substitute mortgage
loans
will be the sole remedy against CMSI
available to the certificate holders or the Trustee on behalf of the certificate
holders for a material defect in a mortgage document or a breach of a
representation and warranty in section 2.2.
60
3 Servicing
3.1 CitiMortgage
as servicer and master servicer
(a)
Affiliated
mortgage loans.
CitiMortgage will service those mortgage loans listed in exhibit B, other
than
any mortgage loans listed on schedule B-TP (the affiliated
mortgage loans).
(b)
Third-party
mortgage loans.
The
mortgage loans listed in schedule B-TP to exhibit B (third-party
mortgage loans)
will be
serviced by a third-party
servicer
pursuant
to this agreement, a third-party
servicing agreement
between
CitiMortgage and the third-party servicer, and the Guide. CitiMortgage
will be
the master
servicer
for each
third-party mortgage loan. Each third-party servicing agreement will be
consistent with this agreement and, except for special servicing agreements,
will be effective as of the closing date.
(c)
Special
servicing.
CitiMortgage may enter into a special
servicing agreement
with an
unaffiliated person (the class
B holder).
At any
time that the class B holder holds 100% of the beneficial interest in the
most
subordinated class of certificates, the class B holder may designate a
special
servicer
to
service certain mortgage loans in default and REO
property
(specially
serviced mortgage loans).
Any
special servicing agreement will be subject to each rating agency’s
acknowledgement that the ratings of the certificates in effect immediately
prior
to CitiMortgage’s entering into the special servicing agreement will not be
qualified, downgraded or withdrawn, and that the certificates will not
be placed
on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of
the
agreement.
CitiMortgage
will be the master servicer and the special servicer will be a third-party
servicer for the specially serviced mortgage loans. Except as otherwise
stated
or as the context clearly requires, references in this agreement to third-party
mortgage loans will include specially serviced mortgage loans, and references
to
third-party servicing agreements will include special servicing agreements.
(d)
Third-party
servicing.
With
CitiMortgage’s approval, a third-party servicer may delegate its servicing
obligations, but the third-party servicer will remain obligated under its
third-party servicing agreement. CitiMortgage and any third-party servicer
may
amend the third-party servicing agreement, consistent with this
agreement.
CitiMortgage
will enforce each third-party servicer’s obligations under its third-party
servicing agreement, including any obligation to make advances for delinquent
payments or to purchase a mortgage loan on account of defective documentation
or
a breach of a representation or warranty. Such enforcement, including the
legal
prosecution of claims, termination of third-party servicing agreements,
and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, will as to form, extent and timing
be
conducted as CitiMortgage, in its good faith business judgment, would require
if
it were the owner of the mortgage loans. CitiMortgage will pay the costs
of
enforcement at its own expense, but will be reimbursed only from
· a
general
recovery resulting from the enforcement only to the extent that the recovery
exceeds all amounts due on the mortgage loans, or
· a
specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the party
against
whom the enforcement is directed.
(e) Servicing generally.
In
connection with its servicing and master servicing, CitiMortgage
· may,
acting alone or through third-party servicers, take any action it deems
necessary or desirable.
61
· may
execute and deliver on behalf of itself, the certificate holders or the
Trustee
any instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release
or discharge and all other comparable instruments, for the mortgage loans
and
the related mortgaged properties.
· will
service and master service the mortgage loans in the best interests of,
and for
the benefit of, the certificate holders and any Insurer.
· will
service the affiliated mortgage loans in accordance with its normal servicing
procedures for mortgage loans held in its own portfolio.
· will
master service the third-party mortgage loans, in accordance with prudent
mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures accepted in the mortgage
banking industry and in accordance with the Guide.
· will
promptly notify the Trustee of any circumstance that might adversely affect
CitiMortgage’s ability to service or master service any mortgage loan or to
otherwise perform its obligations under this agreement.
· will
maintain accurate books and records, and an adequate system of audit and
internal controls, that will permit the Trustee, or its duly authorized
representatives and designees, to examine and audit and make legible
reproductions of records during reasonable business hours. All such records
will
be maintained for the period required by the Guide or any longer period
required
by law.
The
Trustee will furnish CitiMortgage with any powers of attorney and other
documents reasonably necessary or appropriate, and will take any other
actions
that CitiMortgage reasonably requests, to enable CitiMortgage to carry
out its
servicing duties.
3.2 Collections
CitiMortgage
and each third-party servicer will, to the extent consistent with this
agreement,
|
·
|
follow
such normal collection procedures as it deems necessary and advisable,
and
|
|
·
|
make
reasonable efforts to collect all amounts payable on the mortgage
loans it
services.
|
Consistent
with the foregoing, CitiMortgage may
· waive
any
late payment charge, prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection
with
the prepayment of a mortgage loan or any assumption fees or other fees
collected
in the ordinary course of servicing the mortgage loan, and
· arrange
with a mortgagor a schedule for the payment of principal and interest due
and
unpaid after the applicable first day of the month if CitiMortgage reasonably
believes that without the arrangement the mortgagor would default on the
mortgage loan. Regardless of whether such an arrangement is made, the mortgage
loan will be considered delinquent for all purposes of this
agreement.
CitiMortgage
need not institute litigation to collect any payment if it reasonably believes
that the cost of litigation is likely to outweigh its economic benefit.
3.3 Certificate
and other accounts
(a)
Certificate
account.
On or
before the closing date, CitiMortgage will open with Depositories or the
Paying
Agent one or more certificate accounts (collectively, the certificate
account).
The
certificate account will include any alternative certificate account. The
certificate account will be a non-interest bearing account unless the Series
Terms state that the certificate account is an investment account.
CitiMortgage
will not commingle funds and other property in the certificate
account
62
with
any
other funds or property of CitiMortgage or the Trustee. However, in order
to
efficiently transfer funds in the certificate account to a distribution
account,
CitiMortgage may, on the business day preceding the date funds are to be
transferred from the certificate account to the distribution account, transfer
those funds to a commingled clearance account, provided,
that if
Fitch has rated the certificates, CitiMortgage may not so commingle funds
unless
CitiMortgage’s short-term rating, or the short-term rating of any person to whom
CitiMortgage has delegated servicing under this agreement, by Fitch is
at least
“F1.” The clearance account will be under CitiMortgage’s sole control, and
CitiMortgage will maintain adequate records indicating the ownership of
the
funds in the clearance account.
CitiMortgage,
on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit in the certificate account, within
one
business day following receipt and posting, the following amounts received
by it
on the affiliated mortgage loans (remittances
on the
affiliated mortgage loans):
· all
principal payments and prepayments (other than payments due, and principal
prepayments received, on or before the cut-off date);
· all
interest payments (other than payments due on or before the cut-off date),
net
of any servicing fee retained by CitiMortgage pursuant to section
3.8(b);
· any
buydown funds required to be deposited pursuant to section 3.16;
· all
net
liquidation proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration
or
repair of the related mortgaged property or released to the related mortgagor
in
accordance with normal servicing procedures;
· proceeds
from the repurchase of a mortgage loan, and the substitution adjustment
amount
in connection with an eligible substitute mortgage loan;
· all
hazard insurance proceeds;
· any
advance account advance;
· any
loss
recoveries; and
· the
amount CitiMortgage is required to pay into the certificate account pursuant
to
section 3.4, “Prepayment interest shortfalls.”
If
CitiMortgage must repay any amount deposited in the certificate account,
by
reason of the reversal of a provisional credit owing to the dishonor of
a
mortgagor’s check or otherwise, CitiMortgage will promptly
· withhold
a corresponding amount from a subsequent deposit into the certificate account,
and
· restate
its accounts appropriately.
CitiMortgage
need not deposit in the certificate account
|
·
|
amounts
required to be deposited into the servicing account,
|
|
·
|
collected
servicing fees, except as required by section 3.4, “Prepayment interest
shortfalls,”
|
|
·
|
collected
prepayment charges, late payment charges, assumption fees and
other
similar charges, which CitiMortgage may retain as additional
servicing
compensation, and
|
|
·
|
reimbursements
of property protection expenses,
|
received
on affiliated mortgage loans.
(b)
Servicing
accounts.
CitiMortgage will establish and maintain servicing
accounts
with
Depositories, and will deposit therein all collections of taxes, assessments,
primary mortgage or hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the
account of the mortgagors. CitiMortgage may withdraw funds from the servicing
account, but only
· to
effect
payment of taxes, assessments, primary mortgage or hazard insurance premiums
or
comparable items,
63
· to
reimburse the relevant servicer for costs incurred in effecting the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on a mortgaged property, for servicing
account
advances, and for payments made pursuant to section 3.1 regarding timely
payment
of taxes and assessments, section 3.10 regarding premiums on primary mortgage
insurance policies, and section 3.11 regarding premiums on standard hazard
insurance policies, or
· to
refund
to a mortgagor any amounts determined to be overages, or to pay interest
owed to
mortgagors on such account to the extent required by law, or to clear and
terminate such accounts at the termination of this agreement in accordance
with
section 9.1.
The
servicing account may commingle collections from other series that have
the same
Trustee. The servicing account will be a non-interest bearing account unless
the
Series Terms state that the servicing account is an investment
account.
Any
costs
incurred by the relevant servicer in effecting the timely payment of taxes
and
assessments on a mortgaged property will not, for the purpose of calculating
monthly distributions to certificate holders, be added to the amount owing
under
the related mortgage loan, even if the terms of the mortgage loan so
permit.
(c)
Third-party
accounts.
CitiMortgage will establish and maintain with Depositories segregated
custodial
accounts for P&I
and
segregated escrow
accounts
in
accordance with the requirements of the Guide. Each third-party servicer
will
deposit in such accounts, within two business days of receipt and posting,
the
amounts related to the third-party mortgage loans required by the third-party
servicing agreements to be so deposited. Amounts in a custodial account
for
P&I will be fully insured by the FDIC
or the
National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. To the extent amounts in a
custodial
account for P&I are not fully insured, the excess will either, at
CitiMortgage’s option,
· be
promptly remitted to the certificate account or a custodial investment
account,
or
· be
secured by one or more Eligible Investments maturing not later than the
determination date, provided that the Trustee has received an opinion of
counsel
acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that CitiMortgage has either a
claim to
the funds held by the institution or a perfected first security interest
against
such Eligible Investments superior to the claims of any other depositor
or
general creditor of such institution.
Proceeds
received on individual third-party mortgage loans from a title, hazard
or other
insurance policy covering the mortgage loan, other than a primary mortgage
insurance policy, will be deposited first in the applicable escrow account
if
required for the restoration or repair of the related mortgaged property.
Proceeds from such insurance policies not so deposited in the applicable
escrow
account and proceeds from primary mortgage insurance policies will be deposited
in the custodial account for P&I and will be applied to the balances of the
related third-party mortgage loans as payments of interest and principal.
Third-party
servicers may withdraw funds from custodial accounts for P&I as permitted by
this agreement and in accordance with the Guide. The Trustee will have
no
responsibility for monitoring such withdrawals.
CitiMortgage
will maintain separate accounting on a mortgage loan-by-mortgage loan basis
for
any remittances to
64
or
payments from the custodial accounts for P&I.
(d)
Transfers
from third-party accounts to certificate account.
On each
determination date, each third-party servicer will withdraw from its custodial
accounts for P&I and deposit into the certificate account the following
amounts (remittances
on
third-party loans):
· scheduled
installments of principal and interest on the third-party mortgage loans
received by the third-party servicers that were due on the first day of
that
month, net of third-party servicing fees due third-party servicers;
· principal
prepayments and insurance proceeds, net of third-party servicing fees due
third-party servicers, received in the preceding month;
· liquidation
proceeds on a third-party mortgage loan.
(e) Accounts
generally.
The
certificate account, the servicing account, each custodial account for
P&I,
the escrow account and the distribution account will each bear a designation
clearly indicating that the funds in the account are held for the benefit
of the
Trustee or the certificate holders. CitiMortgage, each third-party servicer,
and
the Paying Agent will hold all money and property received by it as part
of the
Trust Fund and will apply it as provided in this agreement, except
that
amounts from buydown funds required to be deposited pursuant to section
3.16
will be held by CitiMortgage in the buydown account on behalf of the mortgagors,
subject to withdrawal by CitiMortgage for the purposes set forth in sections
3.6(b) and (c).
3.4 Prepayment
interest shortfalls
(a)
Affiliated
mortgage loans.
CitiMortgage
will deposit in the certificate account on the business day preceding each
distribution day the aggregate prepayment interest shortfall on the affiliated
mortgage loans for the preceding month provided
that
such
deposit need not exceed the lesser of
· the
aggregate amount of the collected servicing fees on the affiliated mortgage
loans for the month preceding such distribution day and
· one-half
the scheduled servicing fee on the affiliated mortgage loans for that month.
Such
deposit will not be considered to be a voluntary advance by
CitiMortgage,
and will
not be reimbursable to CitiMortgage from the certificate account or
otherwise.
(b)
Third-party
mortgage loans.
Each
third-party servicer will transfer to the certificate account on each
determination date the aggregate amount required under the Guide to be
paid by
third-party servicers in respect of prepayment interest shortfalls on
third-party mortgage loans for the preceding month.
(c)
Each
third-party servicer will deposit in the certificate account on the business
day
preceding each distribution day the aggregate prepayment interest shortfall
on
its third-party mortgage loans for the preceding month, provided
that the
aggregate of such deposits for all third-party loans for any distribution
day
will be reduced by any amounts paid by the third-party servicer under the
preceding paragraph (b) on the preceding determination date.
3.5 Advances
(a) Servicing
account advances.
CitiMortgage
will deposit in the servicing account the payment of property taxes and
insurance premiums and other similar payments relating to the third-party
mortgage loans that are not timely paid by the mortgagors or advanced by
the
third-party servicers on the date when such tax, premium or other cost
for which
such payment is intended is due.
65
(b)
Remittance
delinquencies. For
each
distribution day, a
remittance delinquency:
· on
an
affiliated loan is the originally scheduled interest at the pass-through
rate,
and principal installment (as adjusted for any principal prepayments),
on the
mortgage loan due from the mortgagor on (but not before) the first day
of the
month but not received in the certificate account by close of business
on the
third business day before the distribution day.
· on
a
third-party loan is the originally scheduled interest at the pass-through
rate,
and principal installment (as adjusted for any principal prepayments),
on the
mortgage loan due from the mortgagor on (but not before) the first day
of the
month but not received in the certificate account by close of business
on the
determination date for the distribution day.
· on
a
buydown mortgage loan is the accrued and unpaid interest at the related
pass-through rate, and the principal installment (as adjusted for any principal
prepayments) on the mortgage loan due from the related buydown account
on (but
not before) the first day of the month but not received in the certificate
account by close of business on (a) the third business day before the
distribution day (for a buydown mortgage loan that is an affiliated loan)
or
(b) the determination date (for a buydown mortgage loan that is a
third-party mortgage loan).
A
remittance delinquency does not include an apparent remittance delinquency
that
is determined by CitiMortgage to be the result of the occurrence of an
extraordinary event (but not including a remittance delinquency determined
to be
eligible for an advance pursuant to this section 3.5).
(c)
Advances
by third-party servicers.
To the
extent required by its third-party servicing agreement, each third-party
servicer will transfer to the certificate account, on the determination
date,
any amount required to be advanced under its third-party servicing agreement
(a
third-party
servicer advance).
(d)
Uncommitted
cash advances.
On the
business day before each distribution day, CitiMortgage will transfer from
the
certificate account to the distribution account
· uncommitted
cash related to affiliated mortgage loans in an amount not greater than
the
remittance delinquencies on the affiliated mortgage loans for that distribution
day, and
· uncommitted
cash relating to third-party mortgage loans in an amount not greater than
the
remittance delinquencies on the third-party mortgage loans for that distribution
day.
(e)
Voluntary
advances by CitiMortgage.
On the
business day before each distribution day, CitiMortgage will deposit in
the
certificate account a voluntary
advance
equal to
· the
sum
of (i) remittance delinquencies on the mortgage loans for that distribution
day, (ii) scheduled interest not required to be paid by the mortgagors on
the first day of the month because of the limitations on mortgage interest
payments under the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any comparable
state laws, in each case after adjustment of delinquent or non-required
interest
payments to interest at the pass-through rate, and (iii) the amount of any
uncommitted cash transferred to the distribution account for the preceding
distribution day, minus
· the
sum
of (i) uncommitted cash transferred to the distribution account on the same
day pursuant to paragraph (d) above, and (ii) any third-party servicer
advances for that distribution day.
(f)
Paying
agent advances.
Before
noon on each distribution day, the Paying Agent will
66
deposit
into the distribution account an affiliated
Paying Agent advance
equal to
· the
sum
of (i) all remittance delinquencies on the affiliated mortgage loans for
that distribution day, and (ii) the amount of all uncommitted cash advances
related to the affiliated mortgage loans transferred to the distribution
account
for the preceding distribution day, minus
· the
sum
of (i) any uncommitted cash advance related to the affiliated mortgage
loans for that distribution day and (ii) any voluntary advance by
CitiMortgage related
to the affiliated loans for that distribution day, other than an advance
of
interest not required to be paid because of the limitations on mortgage
interest
payments under the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any comparable
state laws (Relieved
interest).
Before
noon on each distribution day, the Paying Agent will deposit into the
distribution account a third-party
Paying Agent advance
equal to
· the
sum
of (i) all remittance delinquencies on the third-party mortgage loans for
that distribution day, and (ii) the amount of uncommitted cash advances
related to the third-party mortgage loans transferred to the distribution
account for the preceding distribution day, minus
· the
sum
of (i) any uncommitted cash advances related to third-party mortgage loans
for that distribution day, and (ii) any third-party servicer advance, other
than an advance of Relieved interest, for that distribution day.
CitiMortgage
will on the business day it receives notice from the Paying Agent of the
amount
of any affiliated or third-party Paying Agent advance,
· pay
the
Paying Agent a servicing administration fee of $100 for each distribution
day on
which the Paying Agent makes such an advance, and
· reimburse
the Paying Agent for the amount of the advance,
provided
that if
the notice is received after 1PM
on a
business day, the administration fee and reimbursement will be made to
the
Paying Agent by 1PM
on the
following business day.
Promptly
after the Trust Fund is terminated pursuant to section 9, CitiMortgage
will
notify the Paying Agent of the amount of affiliated and third-party Paying
Agent
advances for which CitiMortgage reimbursed the Paying Agent and that were
not
recovered from later remittances, net recoveries or other proceeds or
collections on the affiliated or third-party mortgage loans, respectively. The
Paying Agent will reimburse CitiMortgage for the amount of reimbursements
not so
recovered on the next business day after its receipt of the notice.
(g)
Limited
obligation to make advances.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, the relevant
servicer will not be obligated to make any advance described in sections
(a)
through (e) above, nor will the Paying Agent be obligated to make any advance
described in section (f) above, except to the extent that the servicer
or the
Paying Agent determines that the advance will be recoverable from future
payments and proceeds on the related mortgage loan.
CitiMortgage
will provide the Paying Agent with any information CitiMortgage has and
the
Paying Agent requests to help the Paying Agent determine if a Paying Agent
advance will be recoverable.
(h)
Future
moratorium legislation.
If
after the date of this agreement, any state or locality enacts legislation
granting mortgagors a full or partial moratorium on mortgage payments while
the
mortgagor is on active military service, CitiMortgage,
67
will,
by
notice to the Paying Agent, elect whether CitiMortgage will advance part
or all
of any postponed payments under such legislation. CitiMortgage will make
a
separate election for each state or locality that adopts such legislation.
To
the extent CitiMortgage elects not to advance part or all of such postponed
payments, the Paying Agent will not have any obligation to advance such
payments.
3.6 Distributions
(a)
Transfers
to distribution account.
Not
later than 12 noon on each distribution day, CitiMortgage will withdraw
from the
certificate account and deposit in a distribution
account
established by the Paying Agent (or to the extent provided in the Series
Terms,
any pooling, lower-tier or upper-tier REMIC
account), all distributions to be made on the distribution day on the
certificates (or class P or class L regular interests). The distribution
account
will be an Eligible Account, and will not be commingled with any other
account.
(b)
Distributions
to certificate holders.
On each
distribution day, the Paying Agent will distribute from the distribution
account
(or, to the extent provided in the Series Terms, any pooling, lower-tier,
or
upper-tier REMIC
account)
to each certificate holder of record on the preceding record date (other
than as
provided in section (c) below for final distributions) the certificate
holder’s
share (based on the denomination of certificates of the applicable class
held by
the holder) of the amounts distributable to such class in accordance with
the
priorities set forth in the Series Terms, as set forth in the applicable
distribution day statement.
All
reductions in principal balance of a certificate (or one or more Predecessor
Certificates) effected by distributions made on any distribution day or
reductions thereof without distributions in accordance with this agreement
(including final distributions under section (c) below or section 9.1)
will be
binding upon all holders of such certificate and of any certificate issued
upon
the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof,
whether or not the distributions are noted on the certificate.
(c)
Final
distributions.
If
CitiMortgage expects that the principal balance of any class will be reduced
to
zero on the next distribution day, it will, not later than the third day
before
that distribution day, mail to the Paying Agent and each person in whose
name a
certificate to be so retired is registered at the close of business on
the
applicable record date a notice that:
· CitiMortgage
expects that funds sufficient to reduce the principal balance of the certificate
to zero will be available in the certificate account on that distribution
day,
and
· if
such
funds are available, (A) a final distribution will be made on that distribution
day, but only upon presentation and surrender of the certificate at the
office
or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose pursuant to the
Series
Terms (the address of which will be set forth in the notice), and (B) no
interest will accrue on the certificate after the end of the month preceding
the
distribution day.
The
final
distribution on each certificate (including the final distribution on any
certificate receiving a distribution in connection with a termination pursuant
to section 9.1) will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
the
certificate on or after the distribution day for such final distribution
at the
office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose pursuant
to the
Series Terms.
(d)
Method
of payment.
Each
distribution will be made
68
by
check
mailed to the certificate holder at its address appearing in the Certificate
Register, or
|
·
|
by
wire transfer if the certificate holder is eligible for wire
transfer
under the Series Terms and the Paying Agent has received wiring
instructions from the certificate holder, or
|
|
·
|
by
such other means of payment as the certificate holder, CitiMortgage,
and
the Paying Agent may agree.
|
Wiring
instructions received by the Paying Agent will remain in effect until changed
by
the certificate holder by written notice to the Paying Agent at least five
business days before a distribution day.
(e)
Unclaimed
distributions.
Any
amounts in the distribution account that are distributable as interest
or
principal pursuant to this section 3.6, but are not distributed because
of the
non-presentation of the related certificates, or because the check for
such
payment is returned undelivered, will be held by the Paying Agent for two
years
in a separate trust account for the benefit of the holders of such certificates.
Amounts in the separate account will be deemed to have been distributed
to the
holders for the purpose of any calculations required by this agreement
and will
no longer be available for application to any other amounts due under this
agreement.
After
two
years, any amount that remains in the separate account will be paid to
the
holders of the residual certificates, as appropriate (except that any amounts
representing reimbursement for an insured payment will be paid to the Insurer).
After such payment, the certificate holders will be required to seek payments
as
unsecured general creditors from the holders of the residual certificates,
as
appropriate.
(f) Determination
of distributions.
CitiMortgage will determine on each determination date, based on payments
received on the mortgage loans:
· the
pool
distribution amount;
· the
interest allocation and interest allocation carryforward for each
class;
· the
principal allocation for each class;
· the
principal distribution for each class;
· any
ratio-stripped PO class reimbursement;
· any
insurance premium; and
· any
other
information required to determine the distributions to be made to certificate
holders in accordance with the Series Terms.
(g)
Distribution
day data.
CitiMortgage will prepare, and will deliver to the Paying Agent no later
than 12
noon on the third business day before each distribution day, distribution
day data
for that
distribution day as to:
(i) the
pool
distribution amount (including any portion that represents loss
recoveries);
(ii) the
aggregate amount of interest accrued during the related month on all outstanding
certificates and any non-supported prepayment interest shortfalls;
(iii) the
aggregate amount of interest to be distributed to each class, identifying
the
portion attributable to the class’s interest allocation
carryforwards;
(iv) the
aggregate distribution in reduction of principal balance to be made for
each
class;
(v) the
amount in reduction of principal balance of the certificates that is not
the
result of distributions in reduction of principal balance;
(vi) whether
the amount expected to be available in the certificate account will be
sufficient to pay all amounts specified in clauses (iii) and (iv) above
and, if
not, the percentages of each such amount that may be paid in accordance
with the
priorities set forth in the Series Terms from the amounts
69
expected
to be available in the certificate account;
(vii) the
amounts included in the statement pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) above,
expressed in each case per $1,000 initial principal balance (or initial
notional
balance), to be distributed;
(viii) the
aggregate amounts of affiliated servicing fee and any third-party servicing
fee
to be paid pursuant to section 3.6(h);
(ix) any
special hazard loss limit, fraud loss limit and bankruptcy loss limit after
giving effect to the distributions to be made on the distribution
day;
(x) any
amount to be withdrawn from the certificate account and paid over to the
holders
of the class PR or class LR certificates pursuant to section 3.6(h);
and
(xi) the
principal balance of the certificates that will remain outstanding after
giving
effect to the distributions to be made on the distribution day, expressed
both
on an aggregate basis and per $1,000 initial principal balance.
On
the
second business day before each distribution day, CitiMortgage will deliver
to
the Paying Agent a distribution
day statement
(which
may be in electronic form), setting forth the distribution day data in
statement
format.
(h)
Payment
of servicing fees; distributions to residual holders.
On each
distribution day, if
|
·
|
CitiMortgage
has transferred funds from the certificate account to the distribution
account in accordance with section 3.6(a), and
|
|
·
|
the
Depository for the certificate account has set aside any uncommitted
cash
in the certificate account that is not required for an uncommitted
cash
advance, the amount of which uncommitted cash CitiMortgage
will certify to such Depository,
|
then
CitiMortgage will withdraw any cash balance remaining in the certificate
account, and apply it in the following order:
First,
to the
payment to CitiMortgage of any portion of the servicing fee
not
already retained pursuant to section 3.8(b); and
Second,
as a
distribution to the holders of any class PR, and if there are no class
PR
certificates, to the holders of the class LR certificates.
(i)
Transfer
of certificates.
Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this section 3.6, each certificate delivered
under this agreement upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for
or in
lieu of any other certificate will carry the rights to unpaid distributions
that
were carried by the other certificate.
3.7 Third-party
servicing
(a)
Third-party
servicing fee.
As
compensation for its activities under its third-party servicing agreements,
each
third-party servicer will be entitled to a third-party servicing fee for
each
third-party mortgage loan as to which a monthly installment of principal
and
interest is received equal to the monthly third-party servicing fee rate
for the
mortgage loan multiplied by the scheduled principal balance on which the
installment of interest accrued. (The third-party servicer’s compensation may be
reduced by any master servicing fee on such third-party mortgage loan,
as
described in the following paragraph (b).)
(b)
Master
servicing fee.
CitiMortgage will be entitled to any master servicing fee that CitiMortgage
and
the third-party servicer may agree upon in the third-party servicing agreement,
provided
that
the
master servicing fee rate
· for
a
specially serviced mortgage loan may not exceed 0.25% per annum,
and
· for
a
third-party mortgage loan other than a specially serviced mortgage
loan
70
may
not
exceed the per annum rate specified as the third-party servicing fee rate
on
schedule B-TP to exhibit B under the heading “Sub Fee.”
CitiMortgage
may also be entitled to additional master servicing compensation not based
on
the master servicing fee rate, as agreed with the third-party servicer,
such as
any net REO
proceeds
in excess of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on
a
mortgage loan.
(c)
CitiMortgage
liability.
Notwithstanding any third-party servicing agreement, provisions of this
agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between CitiMortgage and
a
third-party servicer, or reference to actions taken through a third-party
servicer or otherwise, CitiMortgage will remain obligated and liable to
the
Trustee and the certificate holders for the servicing of the third-party
mortgage loans in accordance with this agreement to the same extent as
though
CitiMortgage alone were servicing the third-party mortgage loans itself.
All
documents, instruments or contracts executed by third-party servicers on
behalf
of CitiMortgage will be treated by the Trustee as though executed by
CitiMortgage itself.
Any
amounts received by a third-party servicer for a third-party mortgage loan
will
be deemed to have been received by CitiMortgage for purposes of this agreement.
If a third-party servicer fails to remit any amounts it receives that are
required to be transferred to the certificate account or an escrow account,
CitiMortgage will transmit the required amounts to the account.
Nothing
in this agreement will limit any indemnification agreement between CitiMortgage
and a third-party servicer, but the indemnification agreement will not
diminish
CitiMortgage’s obligations or liability under this agreement.
3.8 Permitted
withdrawals from certificate account
(a)
CitiMortgage may pay the following amounts from the certificate account,
in
order of priority listed:
(i)
to
itself, collected servicing and master servicing fees (to the extent not
withheld from payments of interest received on the mortgage loans), and,
for a
liquidated loan, the excess of scheduled servicing fees over the collected
servicing fees;
(ii)
reimbursements to itself for (A) liquidation expenses incurred on a
mortgage loan, up to the liquidation proceeds on the mortgage loan deposited
in
the certificate account, net of applicable servicing fees, (B) any amounts
due
CitiMortgage under section 3.12 relating to deficiency actions, and (C) any
excess of the liquidation proceeds after such reimbursement over the principal
balance of the mortgage loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest
at the
mortgage note rate to the date of purchase at the foreclosure sale, liquidation
proceeding or otherwise. For these purposes, liquidation expenses will
include
subsequent trailing bills relating to previously disposed REO
property
in which distribution of net liquidation proceeds has occurred.
(iii)
reimbursement to itself for (x) voluntary advances or
(y) reimbursements by CitiMortgage to the Paying Agent for Paying Agent
advances. Reimbursements pursuant to this clause (iii) will be limited
to
amounts received on particular mortgage loans (including, for this purpose,
liquidation and insurance proceeds) that represent late payments of principal
or
interest, or subsequent payments of interest that was excused
71
mortgagors
on military service under applicable moratorium legislation;
(iv)
reimbursement to an advancing person (including CitiMortgage, to the extent
CitiMortgage has reimbursed the Paying Agent for a Paying Agent advance)
for
voluntary or Paying Agent advances that the advancing person determines
are
nonrecoverable advances;
(v)
reimbursement to itself for servicing account advances not previously reimbursed
out of the servicing
account, in each case to the extent that amounts representing reimbursements
of
such advances on mortgage loans may have been deposited in the certificate
account;
(vi)
reimbursement to an advancing person of voluntary advances, Paying Agent
advances, or advance account advances, made on a mortgage loan in an amount
not
to exceed at any time in the aggregate the amount of payments from time
to time
deposited in the certificate account and not required to be distributed
to the
certificate holders (including, for this purpose, liquidation and insurance
proceeds covering the mortgaged property);
(viii)
payments to itself or the holders of the residual certificates of Investment
Income;
(ix)
transfers to the distribution account;
(x)
payments to clear and terminate the certificate account pursuant to section
9.1;
and
(xi)
all
remittances received following the repurchase of a mortgage loan that are
required to be paid to CMSI
pursuant
to section 2.3.
CitiMortgage
may also withdraw funds from the certificate account, and adjust the pool
distribution amount for any pool or the amount of scheduled or unscheduled
principal payments, to appropriately adjust for prior servicing errors,
including errors in posting, allocation, or distribution, if CitiMortgage
believes that such withdrawals or adjustments are necessary to effect the
provisions of this agreement.
If,
at
the request of the Trustee, CitiMortgage delivers an officer’s certificate to
the Trustee in connection with any such withdrawal or adjustment, the Trustee
may conclusively rely without investigation on the officer’s certificate as to
the reasons, amount and conformity to this agreement of the withdrawal
or
adjustment.
CitiMortgage
will maintain separate accounting records, on a mortgage loan-by-mortgage
loan
basis, of withdrawals from the certificate account pursuant to clauses
(ii),
(iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (x) of this section; provided
that
such records need not be retained by CitiMortgage for a period longer than
its
five most recent fiscal years.
(b)
In
lieu of withdrawing collected or scheduled servicing fees from the certificate
account pursuant to paragraph (a) above, CitiMortgage may, prior to transferring
collection on mortgage loans, or liquidation or insurance proceeds, to
the
certificate account, withhold and pay to itself out of each payment received
by
it on account of interest the appropriate collected servicing fee. Any
amounts
that CitiMortgage is required to deposit in the certificate account pursuant
to
section 3.4, “Prepayment interest shortfalls,” will be deemed to reduce the
collected or scheduled servicing fee to which CitiMortgage is entitled
pursuant
to this section.
3.9 Expenses
(a)
CitiMortgage expenses.
CitiMortgage
will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing and
master
servicing activities under this agreement, and will not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this agreement.
CitiMortgage will also be liable for all expenses, liabilities and obligations
of
72
the
Trust
Fund (other than the obligation to make principal and interest distributions
on
the certificates) including those set forth in section 8.5, “Trustee’s fees and
expenses.” To the extent such expenses, liabilities or obligations consist of
federal income taxes, including, without limitation, prohibited transaction
taxes, taxes on net income from foreclosure property and taxes on certain
contributions to a REMIC
after
the startup day, nothing will prevent CitiMortgage from contesting any
such tax,
if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings.
(d)
Third-party
servicer expenses.
Each
third-party servicer will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection
with its
servicing activities under its third-party servicing agreement (including
advance payment of premiums for primary mortgage insurance policies, if
required) and will not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
expressly
provided in its third-party servicing agreement.
3.10 Primary
mortgage insurance
CitiMortgage
will exercise its best reasonable efforts to maintain each primary mortgage
insurance policy in full force. CitiMortgage will present claims to the
insurer,
and take any other reasonable action that may be necessary to permit recovery,
under any primary mortgage insurance policy for a defaulted mortgage loan.
CitiMortgage
may substitute for any primary mortgage insurance policy another substantially
equivalent policy issued by another insurer, provided
that
no
such substitution will be made unless (i) CitiMortgage is advised by each
rating
agency that the substitution will not negatively affect the rating agency’s
then-current rating of the certificates (for any insured class certificates,
without regard to any certificate insurance policy) or (ii) the claims-paying
ability of the substitute primary mortgage insurer is, at the time of
substitution, rated at least “AA” or its equivalent by each rating agency rating
the certificates.
3.11 Hazard
insurance
CitiMortgage
will maintain for each mortgage loan (other than a mortgage loan for a
cooperative apartment) hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount
at
least equal to the lesser of
· the
maximum insurable value of the improvements securing the mortgage loan
if that
amount is less than the unpaid principal balance on the mortgage loan,
· the
principal balance owing on the mortgage loan if that amount is between
80% and
100%, inclusive, of the insurable value, or
· 80%
of
the insurable value if the principal balance of the mortgage loan is less
than
80% of the insurable value.
Except
for cooperative apartments, CitiMortgage will also maintain on property
acquired
upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, hazard fire insurance
with
extended coverage in an amount at least equal to the lesser of
· the
maximum insurable value from time to time of the improvements that are
a part of
the property, or
· the
unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loan at the time of foreclosure
or deed
in lieu of foreclosure plus (A) accrued interest at the mortgage note rate
and
(B) CitiMortgage’s good-faith estimate of liquidation expenses for the property.
If
a
mortgaged property is located in a federally designated flood area, the
hazard
insurance will include flood insurance. No earthquake or other additional
insurance will be required for any property, except as required by applicable
law.
73
CitiMortgage
may maintain a blanket hazard insurance policy on all of the mortgage loans.
However, if the blanket policy contains a deductible clause, CitiMortgage
will
deposit in the certificate account any amount not payable under the blanket
policy because of the deductible clause that would have been paid under
a hazard
policy that meets the requirements of this section and does not have a
deductible clause.
Any
cost
incurred by CitiMortgage in maintaining hazard insurance will not, for
the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the certificate holders,
be
added to the amount owing under the related mortgage loan, even if the
terms of
the mortgage loan permit it.
3.12 Realization
on defaulted mortgage loans
CitiMortgage
will use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures,
to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing any mortgage loans that continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to section 3.2. Consistent with the foregoing, CitiMortgage will
use
reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted mortgage loans in a manner
that
will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the certificate
holders,
taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings.
If
a
deficiency action is available against the mortgagor or any other person,
CitiMortgage may proceed for the deficiency. CitiMortgage may retain 25%
of the
net proceeds received from a mortgagor pursuant to a deficiency action
as
compensation for proceeding with the deficiency action.
Any
property (other than the mortgaged property) pledged by or on behalf of
a
mortgagor as security for a mortgage loan in default, including marketable
securities, may be liquidated and the proceeds thereof applied to cover
any
shortfalls upon the liquidation of a mortgaged property provided
that the
Trust Fund will in no event acquire ownership of any such property unless
the
Trustee receives an opinion of counsel to the effect that such ownership
will
not cause any constituent REMIC
to fail
to qualify as a REMIC
and will
not subject any constituent REMIC
to any
tax.
If
title
to a mortgaged property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale will be issued to the Trustee,
or
to its nominee on behalf of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding such acquisition
of
title and cancellation of the mortgage loan, the mortgage loan will (except
for
purposes of section 9.1) be considered an outstanding mortgage loan until
the
mortgaged property is sold and the mortgage loan becomes a liquidated loan.
Consistent with the foregoing for purposes of all calculations hereunder
so long
as the mortgage loan is considered outstanding, it will be assumed that
the
related mortgage note and its amortization schedule in effect on and after
the
acquisition of title (after giving effect to any previous principal prepayments,
and before any adjustment thereto by reason of any deficient valuations
and debt
service reductions or any similar proceeding or any moratorium or similar
waiver
or grace period) remain in effect (notwithstanding that the indebtedness
evidenced by the mortgage note will have been discharged), subject to adjustment
to reflect the application of REO
proceeds
received in any month.
Net
REO
proceeds
received in any month will be deemed to have been received
first
74
in
payment of the accrued interest that remained unpaid on the date that such
mortgage loan became an REO
loan,
with any excess being deemed to have been received for delinquent principal
installments that remained unpaid on such date. Thereafter, net REO
proceeds
received in any month will be applied to the payment of installments of
principal and accrued interest on the mortgage loan deemed to be due and
payable
in accordance with the terms of the mortgage note and amortization schedule.
If
the net REO
proceeds
exceed the then delinquent principal and interest installments on the mortgage
loan, the excess will be treated as a principal prepayment received on
the
mortgage loan, up to the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage
loan. Any
net REO
proceeds
in excess of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on
the
mortgage loan will be treated as additional servicing compensation for
CitiMortgage.
If
CitiMortgage forecloses or accepts a deed in lieu of foreclosure on a mortgaged
property, CitiMortgage will dispose of the mortgaged property before the
end of
the third calendar year that begins after the year of acquisition by the
applicable constituent REMIC,
unless
· (i) the
Trustee receives an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding by
the
applicable constituent REMIC
of the
mortgaged property subsequent to such period (and specifying the period
beyond
such period for which the mortgaged property may be held) will not result
in the
imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any of the constituent
REMICs
as
defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 860F, or cause any of the constituent
REMICs
to fail
to qualify as a REMIC
at any
time that any certificates are outstanding, in which case the applicable
constituent REMIC
may
continue to hold such mortgaged property (subject to any conditions contained
in
such opinion of counsel), or
· CitiMortgage
has, prior to the expiration of such period, applied to the Internal Revenue
Service for an extension of the period in the manner contemplated by Internal
Revenue Code Section 856(e)(3), in which case the period will be extended
by the
applicable period.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this agreement, unless otherwise required pursuant
to
applicable state law, no mortgaged property acquired by the applicable
constituent REMIC
will be
· rented
(or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production
of
income by or on behalf of the applicable constituent REMIC
in such
a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (1) cause such mortgaged property
to fall to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Internal
Revenue Code Section 860G(a)(8), (2) subject any of the constituent REMICs
to the
imposition of any federal or state income taxes on “net income from foreclosure
property” earned from such mortgaged property within the meaning of Internal
Revenue Code Section 860G(c), or (3) cause the sale of such mortgaged property
to result in the receipt by any of the constituent REMICs
of any
income from non-permitted assets as described in Internal Revenue Code
Section
860F(a)(2)(B), or
· sold
in a
manner or pursuant to terms that would subject any of the constituent
REMICs
to the
imposition of any federal or state income taxes on “net income from foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 860G(c), unless
CitiMortgage agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each constituent REMIC
against
the imposition of such taxes.
75
The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, if any mortgaged property is
damaged, whether from an uninsured cause or otherwise, CitiMortgage will
not be
required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or
towards
the restoration of such property unless it determines that
· the
restoration or foreclosure will increase the net proceeds of liquidation
of the
mortgage loan to the certificate holders, after reimbursement to itself
for such
expenses, and
· CitiMortgage
will recover such expenses through liquidation or insurance
proceeds.
CitiMortgage
will be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in
any such
proceedings; provided,
however,
that
it
will be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as
contemplated in section 3.8. Notwithstanding the above, CitiMortgage will
not be
entitled to recover legal expenses incurred in connection with liquidation
proceedings where the mortgagor pays all delinquent payments and expenses
and
the proceedings are terminated prior to liquidation, other than sums received
from the mortgagor for such expenses.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this section 3.12, CitiMortgage will not be
obligated to foreclose upon or otherwise convert the ownership of any mortgaged
property that it believes may be contaminated with or affected by pollutants,
contamination, hazardous wastes or hazardous substances. CitiMortgage will
not
be liable to the certificate holders if, based on its belief that no such
contamination or effect exists, CitiMortgage forecloses on a mortgaged
property
and takes title to such mortgaged property, and the mortgaged property
is later
determined to be so contaminated or affected.
If
CitiMortgage does not elect to foreclose on a mortgaged property, CitiMortgage
may, in the exercise of its judgment, elect to accept a payment or payments,
in
connection with the sale by the mortgagor of the mortgaged property or
the
retention by the mortgagor of the mortgaged property, in aggregate amount
less
than the outstanding balance of the mortgage loan and accrued interest
thereon.
The
Trustee will furnish CitiMortgage with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable CitiMortgage to carry out
its
efforts in realizing upon defaulted mortgage loans hereunder.
3.13 Release
of mortgage files
(a)
CitiMortgage will promptly notify the Trustee of the payment in full of
any
mortgage loan or CitiMortgage’s receipt of notice that payment in full will be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purpose, and will request delivery
to it
of the mortgage file. CitiMortgage’s notice will include a Servicing Officer
certification that all amounts that CitiMortgage must deposit in the certificate
account, in connection with the payment pursuant to section 3.3 have been
or
will be so deposited. Upon receipt of the certification and request, the
Trustee
will promptly direct the Mortgage Document Custodian to release the related
mortgage documents to CitiMortgage.
For
the
servicing or foreclosure of any mortgage loan, including collection under
a
primary mortgage insurance policy, the Trustee will, upon CitiMortgage’s request
and its delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed by a Servicing Officer,
direct the Mortgage Document Custodian to release the related mortgage
documents
to CitiMortgage. The Trustee will execute such documents furnished it as
are
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings.
76
The
receipt will obligate CitiMortgage to return the mortgage documents to
the
Mortgage Document Custodian when CitiMortgage no longer needs them, unless
the
mortgage loan has been prepaid or liquidated in the interim, in which case,
upon
receipt of a Servicing Officer certification similar to that described
in the
first paragraph of this section, the Trustee will release the receipt to
CitiMortgage.
(b)
CitiMortgage will record any instrument of satisfaction of the mortgage
executed
by it if required by applicable law, and deliver it to the person entitled
thereto. CitiMortgage may not withdraw any expenses incurred in connection
with
the instrument of satisfaction from the certificate account.
3.14 Reports
to certificate holders and others
(a) On
or before each distribution day, CitiMortgage will deliver to each certificate
and residual certificate holder, any Insurer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent,
each rating agency and each Underwriter, a distribution

the
distributions on the distribution days;
(viii)
for each outstanding class, any decrease in principal balance of a single
certificate that is not the result of a principal distribution;

Paying Agent advances, advance account advances, and uncommitted cash advances
for any prior distribution day;
(xvii)
for each pool and for the series, the aggregate scheduled principal balance
of
the mortgage loans as of the last day of the month preceding the month
of the
distribution, after giving effect to payments on the mortgage loans due
on the
related first day of the month and principal prepayments distributed on
the
distribution day;
(xviii)
for each pool and for the series, the weighted average mortgage interest
rate
(before deduction of the servicing fee) and the weighted average remaining

(xxi)
any
other information required for a distribution report on Form 10-D under
the
federal securities laws.
The
distribution report will provide appropriate introductory and explanatory
information to introduce any material terms, parties or abbreviations used,
and
shall state the applicable record, determination and distribution dates.
CitiMortgage will determine the format of the distribution report, and
may
include additional information relating to the series if CitiMortgage believes
such information may be material to certificate holders.
CitiMortgage
will provide certificate holders that are federally insured savings and
loan
associations with certain reports, and will provide access to information
and
documentation regarding the mortgage loans included in the Trust Fund,
sufficient to permit such associations to comply with applicable regulations
of
the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Any
report required by this subsection (a) to be delivered to any person will
be
deemed delivered when it is posted to CitiMortgage’s website, www-.citimortgagembs.-com,
or to
any other website of which CitiMortgage gives
prior notice to the person, and the person can access the statement or
report on
the website without paying an additional charge or subscription
fee.
(b)
CitiMortgage will provide the Paying Agent and the Trustee by the third
business
day before each distribution day with a statement of the information set
forth
in clauses (i) through (xii) of subsection (a), such information to be
given in the aggregate.
(c)
Not
later than 15 business days after receipt of a written request from the
Trustee,
CitiMortgage will deliver to the Trustee a statement, certified by a Servicing
Officer, of the aggregate of deposits in and withdrawals from the certificate
account for each category of deposit specified in sections 3.3 and each
category
of withdrawal specified in section 3.8 for any distribution day specified
by the
Trustee.
78

The
Trustee may at any time during normal business hours inspect and copy at
CitiMortgage’s expense CitiMortgage’s books, records and accounts for the
mortgage loans.
(e) CitiMortgage
will provide to any Insurer each notice, report, opinion or other written
item
(other than mortgage documents) delivered pursuant to the penultimate paragraph
of section 2.3 and sections 2.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.14(a), 3.19, 3.21, 3.22, 4.3,
4.4,
8.8, 9.1, 10.1, and 11.2.
(e)
In
addition to other reports required under this section 3.14, CitiMortgage
shall
make available upon request to each holder and each proposed transferee
of a B-4
through B-6 certificate any additional information required to permit the
proposed transfer to be effected pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities
Act.
3.15 Tax
returns and reports
(a)
For
federal income tax purposes, each constituent REMIC
will
have a calendar year taxable year and will maintain its books on the accrual
method of accounting.
(b)
CitiMortgage will prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service and
applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns
for
each taxable year for each constituent REMIC,
and will
furnish to certificate holders the schedules, statements or information,
as
required by the Internal Revenue Code or state or local tax laws, regulations
or
rules.
Within
30
days of the startup day, CitiMortgage will furnish to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise required by the Internal Revenue
Code, the
name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that certificate
holders may contact for tax information relating to the REMICs,
together with any additional information required by the Form, and will
update
such information as required by the Internal Revenue Code. Income tax or
information returns will be signed by the Trustee or any other person required
to sign the returns by the Internal Revenue Code or state or local tax
laws,
regulations or rules.
(c)
In
the first federal income tax return for each constituent REMIC
for its
short taxable year ending December 31 in the year in which the startup day
occurs, REMIC
status
will be elected for that taxable year and all succeeding taxable
years.
(d)
CitiMortgage will maintain records relating to each constituent REMIC,
including its income, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the adjusted
basis
of its property as required by the Internal Revenue Code, or as necessary
to
prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information.
(e)
Each
holder of a residual certificate will be deemed to have agreed, by acceptance
thereof, to be bound by this section 3.15 and by section 5.2 and by
“REMIC
Provisions” in the Series Terms.
3.16 Application
of buydown funds
On
or
before the closing date if there are any buydown mortgage loans in the
Trust
Fund, CitiMortgage will open the buydown account with the Depository in
the name
of the Trustee, on behalf of the mortgagors. For each buydown mortgage
loan, on
the business day following receipt of the mortgagor’s required monthly payment
under the buydown agreement, CitiMortgage will withdraw from the buydown
account
and deposit in immediately available funds in the certificate account an
amount
which, when added to the mortgagor’s payment, will equal the full monthly
payment due under the mortgage note. No later than the fifth business day
before
the last business day of each month, CitiMortgage will deposit
in
79
the
buydown account in immediately available funds an amount equal to interest
at
the rate per annum specified in the buydown agreement compounded monthly
on the
buydown funds for each buydown mortgage loan.
If
a
buydown mortgage loan is fully prepaid while buydown funds remain in the
buydown
account, the unpaid principal balance of the buydown mortgage loan will
be
reduced by the amount of the buydown funds (which reduction will constitute
a
principal prepayment) and, on the business day following the date of the
principal prepayment, CitiMortgage will deposit the buydown funds in the
certificate account. If the property securing a buydown mortgage loan is
sold in
liquidation of the buydown mortgage loan (either by CitiMortgage or the
insurer
under any related primary mortgage insurance policy) while buydown funds
remain
in the buydown account, the buydown funds will be (i) deposited in the
certificate account on the business day following the liquidation as a
reduction
of the unpaid principal balance of the buydown mortgage loan or (ii) to
the
extent required under an applicable primary mortgage insurance policy,
paid to
the insurer of the mortgage loan.
3.17 Assumption
and modification agreements
If
a
mortgagor transfers a mortgaged property that is subject to an enforceable
due-on-sale clause, CitiMortgage will accelerate the maturity of the mortgage
loan to the extent permissible, unless CitiMortgage reasonably believes
that the
due-on-sale clause is not enforceable.
If
CitiMortgage reasonably believes that the mortgaged property is not subject
to
an enforceable due-on-sale clause, or that enforcement will adversely affect
primary mortgage insurance coverage, CitiMortgage may enter into an assumption
and modification agreement with the transferee of the mortgaged property,
pursuant to which both the transferee and the original mortgagor will be
liable
on the mortgage loan, provided
that
· the
mortgage loan as assumed or modified meets the requirements set forth in
this
agreement for mortgage loans initially included in the Trust Fund,
· the
mortgage loan continues to be covered by any related primary mortgage insurance
and hazard insurance policy, and
· no
principal, interest or other payment on the mortgage loan is reduced or
postponed.
CitiMortgage
will forward an original of each assumption and modification agreement
to the
Mortgage Document Custodian (with a copy to the Trustee) to be added to
the
related mortgage file, and the agreement will be considered a part of the
mortgage file for all purposes to the same extent as all other documents
and
instruments that are part of the mortgage file. Any fee collected by
CitiMortgage for entering into such an agreement will be retained by
CitiMortgage as additional servicing compensation.
3.18 Refinancings
and curtailments; loan modifications
(a)
In
addition to waivers and arrangements permitted by section 3.2, CitiMortgage
may
refinance affiliated or third-party mortgage loans if the refinancing arises
out
of a mortgagor’s request for a refinancing, modification, or other relief from
the provisions of the mortgage loan.
On
the
business day preceding the distribution day in the month following the
effective
date of the refinancing of a mortgage
loan pursuant to this section, CitiMortgage will deposit into the certificate
account the amount of the prepayment in
80
full
of
the mortgage loan (net of all voluntary advances and Paying Agent advances
for
the mortgage loan, which will be reimbursed to the Paying Agent or deemed
reimbursed to CitiMortgage, as the case may be). Upon the Trustee’s receipt of
written notification of the deposit signed by an Authorized Officer of
CitiMortgage, the related mortgage file will be released, and the Trustee
will
comply with the provisions of section 3.13.
For
the
purposes of this section, a “refinancing” will include any process with a
mortgagor that results in the refinanced mortgage loan being identified
and
serviced as a “new mortgage loan” in CitiMortgage’s books, records and servicing
files. However, in connection with a partial prepayment, CitiMortgage may
reduce
the scheduled monthly payments on the mortgage loan so that the mortgage
loan
will still be paid in equal monthly installments of principal and interest,
but
the prepayment will not change the originally scheduled maturity date,
and such
modification will not be considered a “refinancing” for purposes of this
section.
(b)
CitiMortgage may agree with any homeowner to modify or waive any provision
of a
mortgage loan if the modification or waiver does not
· affect
the amount or timing of any payment of principal or interest on the mortgage
loan,
· in
CitiMortgage’s judgment, materially impair the security for, or reduce the
likelihood of timely payment of amounts due on, the mortgage loan,
or
· otherwise
constitute a “significant modification” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).
Notwithstanding
the preceding paragraph, CitiMortgage may agree with any homeowner to modify
or
waive any provision of a mortgage loan if
· the
mortgage loan is 90 days or more past due or, in CitiMortgage’s judgment, is
subject to imminent default, or
· CitiMortgage
delivers to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the
modification or waiver will not affect the REMIC
status
of any REMIC.
CitiMortgage
will within 10 business days deliver to the Mortgage Document Custodian
for
deposit in the related mortgage file an original signed copy of the agreement
providing for the modification or waiver. If applicable law requires a
modification or waiver to be recorded, CitiMortgage will (i) deliver a copy
of such signed agreement to the Trustee and (ii) deliver to the Trustee
such document, with evidence of notification upon receipt thereof from
the
public recording office.
CitiMortgage
may condition any modification or waiver on the homeowner’s payment to
CitiMortgage of a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services
performed, together with reimbursement for CitiMortgage’s out-of-pocket
expenses, in connection with the modification or waiver. CitiMortgage may
retain
such fees or reimbursements as additional servicing compensation.
3.19 Investment
accounts
(a)
Investments.
CitiMortgage may invest and reinvest funds in an investment account in
accordance with this section 3.19 in one or more Eligible Investments (as
described below) bearing interest or sold at discount. However, no such
investment may mature later than the business day immediately preceding
the next
distribution day, except,
that
investments (including repurchase agreements) on which the Paying Agent,
in its
commercial capacity, is the obligor may mature on the next distribution
day.
The
Trustee and CitiMortgage will deposit in the certificate
account
81
immediately
upon receipt all proceeds from investment of funds and disposition of assets
in
the certificate account. Any loss resulting from such investment will be
charged
to the certificate account.
CitiMortgage
may, from time to time, withdraw from any investment account (other than
the
certificate account), any Investment Income therein, and pay same to itself,
the
seller or the holders of the residual certificates, as applicable.
CitiMortgage
will not invest funds in the certificate account or sell an investment
held in
an investment account unless the investment:
· is
made
in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or a Qualified Nominee
of
the Trustee, and
· is
a
“cash flow investment” as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section
860G(a)(6).
CitiMortgage
will not dispose of any Eligible Investment prior to its maturity. However,
if
sufficient uninvested funds are
not
available in the certificate account to make a required disbursement,
CitiMortgage may sell or otherwise convert to cash a sufficient amount
of the
investments in the certificate account if, prior to such sale or conversion,
CitiMortgage receives
(i)
an
opinion of counsel (which opinion may not be provided by an employee of
CitiMortgage or of an affiliate of CitiMortgage) that the sale or conversion
will not constitute a “prohibited transaction” under Internal Revenue Code
Section 860F(a), or
(ii)
if
the sale or conversion constitutes such a “prohibited transaction,” (A) the
consent of the holders of 100% percentage interest of the residual certificates
to the prohibited transaction together with each such holder’s proportionate
share of any tax imposed on the Trust Fund attributable to the transaction,
and
(B) an opinion of counsel (which opinion may not be provided by an employee
of
CitiMortgage or of an affiliate of CitiMortgage) that the transaction will
not
disqualify any constituent REMIC
as a
REMIC.
The
Trustee will not have any liability for any loss incurred in connection
with any
investment or any sale or liquidation thereof pursuant to this agreement,
unless
caused by its negligence or willful misconduct, or for any insufficiency
in the
certificate account or the buydown account, except for losses on investments
that are liabilities of the Trustee in its commercial capacity.
(b) Custodial
investment account.
Prior
to the business day preceding the distribution day, CitiMortgage may deposit
the
amounts required to be transferred on the determination date from the custodial
accounts for P&I in a separate account in the name of CitiMortgage and the
Trustee (such account will be maintained in the trust department of a Depository
and will bear a designation clearly indicating that the principal of all
investments in such account is held for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf
of
the certificate holders) (the custodial
investment account)
for
investment only in one or more Eligible Investments. CitiMortgage will
bear any
and all losses incurred on any investments made with such funds and will
be
entitled to retain all gains realized on such investments as additional
compensation for its services as master servicer. The amount of any losses
incurred in respect of any such investments will be deposited in the custodial
investment account by CitiMortgage out of its own funds immediately as
realized.
Any successor master servicer appointed pursuant to this agreement will
not be
responsible for losses attributable to its predecessor. No investments
held in
the
82
custodial
investment account will mature later than the business day preceding the
distribution day.
(c)
Eligible

Eligible
Investments
means
any one or more of the following obligations or securities:
(i) direct

(including a “fiduciary” of an “employee benefit plan” subject to ERISA,
as
those term are defined in Sections 3(21) and 3(3) of ERISA,
respectively) which purchase or acceptance will also evidence and be deemed

the
Trustee that such certificate holder is duly authorized by and empowered
under
appropriate governing instruments (for example, an employee benefit plan,
in the
case of an ERISA

and “P-1” if Xxxxx’x is a rating agency, at the time of such investment or
contractual commitment providing for such investment; provided,
however, that securities issued by any particular corporation will not
be
Eligible Investments to the extent that investment therein will cause the
then
outstanding principal balance of securities issued by such corporation
and held
as part of the Trust Fund to exceed 10% of the aggregate current principal
balance of certificates outstanding and of the current percentage interest
of
the residual certificates outstanding, and the aggregate principal balance
of
all cash and Eligible Investments, held in the Trust Fund;

investment a rating of not less than “A-1+” (“A-1” if the maturity is not
greater than 30 days and such commercial paper does not exceed 20% of the
then
current balance of the certificates) by S&P if S&P is a rating agency,

do not exceed 20% of the then scheduled principal balance of the mortgage
loans)
if S&P is a rating agency, “F-1” if Fitch is a rating agency, and “P-1” if
Xxxxx’x is a rating agency, or if such investment relates to a money market
fund, such fund must be rated in the highest rating category by each rating

4 CitiMortgage
4.1 Liability
of CitiMortgage and others
Each
of
CitiMortgage, CMSI
and
Citibank, N.A. will be liable under this agreement to any person or to
the
certificate holders only to the extent of obligations specifically undertaken
by
CitiMortgage, CMSI
or
Citibank, N.A. in this agreement.
Neither
CitiMortgage, CMSI
nor
Citibank, N.A.,
nor any
of their directors, officers, employees and agents will be liable to the
Trust
Fund or the certificate holders for any action, or for refraining from
taking
any action, pursuant to this agreement, or for errors in judgment, provided,
however, that neither CitiMortgage, CMSI,
Citibank, N.A., nor any such person will be protected against any liability
that
would otherwise be imposed for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance, or for reckless disregard, of their obligations
under this agreement. CitiMortgage, CMSI,
Citibank, N.A. and any of their directors, officers, employees or agents
may
rely on any document prima
facie
properly
executed and submitted by
86
any
person as to any matters arising under this agreement.
CitiMortgage,
CMSI,
Citibank, N.A., and each of their directors, officers, employees and agents
will
be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability
or expense incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal or
regulatory proceedings relating to this agreement or the certificates,
other
than a loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance, or reckless disregard, of
their
obligations under this agreement.
CitiMortgage
need not appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental
to its duties to service the mortgage loans in accordance with this agreement
and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability. CitiMortgage
may, however, undertake any such action it deems desirable to enforce or
secure
the rights and duties of the parties or the interests of the certificate
holders. CitiMortgage’s legal expenses and costs of such action and any
resulting liability will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust
Fund,
for which CitiMortgage will be reimbursed out of the certificate account.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, CitiMortgage will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Trustee
and the Trust Fund against any damages, claims or liabilities arising out
of any
violation (or claimed violation) prior to the closing date of any predatory
lending law.
4.2 Assumption
of CitiMortgage’s obligations by affiliate
Any
corporation into which CitiMortgage is merged or consolidated, or that
results
from a merger, conversion or consolidation involving CitiMortgage, or that
succeeds to the business of CitiMortgage, or more than 50% of the voting
stock
of which is, directly or indirectly, owned by Citigroup Inc., and that
executes
an agreement of assumption to perform all of CitiMortgage’s obligations under
this agreement, will be CitiMortgage’s successor under this agreement, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such
agreement of assumption will not, however, release CitiMortgage from any
of its
obligations or liabilities under this agreement.
4.3 Maintenance
of office or agency
CMSI
shall
maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices
or agency
or agencies where the certificates may be surrendered for registration
of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon CMSI
in
respect of the certificates and this agreement may be served. CMSI
initially appoints the Certificate Registrar designated in the Series Terms
as
its office for purposes of receipt of notices and demands. CMSI
will
give prompt written notice to CitiMortgage, the Trustee and the certificate
holders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any
such
office or agency.
4.4 Servicer
not to resign
Subject
to sections 4.2 and 4.5, CitiMortgage will not resign as servicer without
the
consent of the Trustee, any Insurer, the holders of more than 2/3 of the
voting
interests of the outstanding certificates and 2/3 of the percentage interests
of
the residual certificates, except upon a determination that the performance
of
its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law. Any
such
determination permitting the resignation of CitiMortgage as Servicer will
be
supported by an opinion of counsel to such effect
87
delivered
to the Trustee. No resignation by CitiMortgage will become effective until
the
Trustee or a successor servicer and master servicer have assumed CitiMortgage’s
obligations in accordance with section 7.2.
4.5 Delegation
of duties
CitiMortgage
may without notice or consent delegate any of its servicing duties, and
any
rights relating to such duties, to any person or persons, including a person
more than 50% of whose stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by Citigroup
Inc.; provided that each such person that services any mortgage loans has
been
approved as a seller/servicer by the Federal Housing Administration,
GNMA,
Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac,
and has
been approved in writing by the rating agencies. Such delegation will not,
however, relieve CitiMortgage of its responsibility for such duties. Each
delegee of CitiMortgage’s servicing duties will have those powers and duties
that are granted to or required of CitiMortgage as servicer or master servicer
under this agreement for such duties, subject to the limitations imposed
by the
agreement between CitiMortgage and such delegee.
4.6 Errors
and omissions insurance
CitiMortgage
will maintain in force
· a
policy
or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance
of its
servicing obligations, and
· a
fidelity bond for its officers, employees and agents.
Such
policies and bond will, together, comply with Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac
requirements for persons servicing mortgage loans purchased by such
association.

certificates and residual certificates will be substantially in the forms
set
forth in exhibit A. The certificates will be issued in the denominations
specified in the Series Terms and will be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of CMSI
by its
Chairman, President, one of its Vice Presidents, or one of its Assistant
Vice
Presidents. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were authorized to sign on behalf of CMSI
when the
signatures were affixed will bind CMSI,
even if
prior to the authentication and delivery of the certificates some of the
individuals ceased to be authorized or to hold such offices.
No
certificate will be entitled to any benefit under this agreement, or be
valid
for any purpose, unless it authenticated substantially in the form set
forth in
exhibit A. The authentication must be manually signed by the Trustee or
an
Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to section 8.12, and such signature
will
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the certificate has
been
duly authenticated and delivered. All certificates will be dated the date
of
their authentication.
(b) Upon
original issuance, book-entry certificates will be issued in the form of
one or
more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to the initial Clearing
Agency,
by, or on behalf of, CMSI.
Such
certificates will initially be registered on the Certificate Register in
the
name of the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and will bear a legend
in
substantially the following form:
“Unless
this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of [the Clearing
Agency] to Citicorp Mortgage Securities, Inc. or its agent for registration
of
transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate
88
issued
is
registered in the name of [the Clearing Agency nominee] or such other name
as
requested by an authorized representative of [the Clearing Agency] (and
any
payment is made to [the Clearing Agency nominee] or to such other entity
as is
requested by an authorized representative of [the Clearing Agency]), any
transfer, pledge, or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any
person
is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, [the Clearing Agency
nominee], has an interest herein.”
No
beneficial owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
beneficial owner’s interest in the book-entry certificates, except as provided
in section 5.6. Until definitive certificates have been issued to beneficial
owners pursuant to section 5.6:
(i) This
section 5.1(b) will be in full force and effect.
(ii) CMSI,
the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency
for all
purposes (including distributions on the book-entry certificates and actions
by
the holders of book-entry certificates) as the authorized representative
of the
beneficial owners.
(iii) To
the
extent that this section 5.1(b) conflicts with any other provision of this
agreement, this section 5.1(b) will control.
(iv) The
rights of beneficial owners will be exercised only through the Clearing
Agency
and will be limited to those established by law, the rules, regulations
and
procedures of the Clearing Agency and agreements between such beneficial
owners
and the Clearing Agency or the Clearing Agency Participants. For book-entry
certificates, references in this agreement to
· actions
by certificate holders will refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency
upon
instructions from the Clearing Agency Participants, and
· distributions,
notices, reports and statements to certificate holders will refer to
distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Clearing Agency or
its
nominee, as registered holder of the book-entry certificates for the
distribution to beneficial owners in accordance with the procedures of
the
Clearing Agency.
(v) The
initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing
Agency
Participants, and will receive and transmit distributions of principal
and
interest on the certificates to the Clearing Agency Participants, for
distribution to the beneficial owners or their nominees.
For
purposes of any provision of this agreement requiring or permitting actions
with
the consent of, or at the direction of, holders of book-entry certificates
evidencing specified voting interests, such direction or consent will be
given
by beneficial owners having the requisite percentage interests.
Until
definitive certificates are issued to beneficial owners pursuant to section
5.6,
copies of the reports or statements referred to in section 3.14 will be
available to beneficial owners upon written request to the Trustee at the
corporate trust office or, if Citibank, N.A. is the Paying Agent, at the
website
referred to in section 3.14.
5.2 Registration
of transfer and exchange of certificates
(a)
CMSI
will
maintain at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies where
the
certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
and
where notices and demands to or upon CMSI
relating
to the certificates and this agreement may be served. CMSI
initially appoints the Certificate Registrar designated in the Series Terms
as
its office
89
for
purposes of receipt of notices and demands.
CMSI
will
maintain a Certificate
Register
at such
office in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it prescribes,
CMSI
will
provide for the registration and transfer of certificates. CMSI
will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to the certificate holders
of any
change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or
agency.
Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any certificate at the office
or
agency, CMSI
will
execute and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferee, one or
more new
certificates in authorized denominations of the same aggregate number of
single
certificates or the same aggregate percentage interest, as the case may
be.
At
the
option of the certificate holder, certificates may be exchanged for other
certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
number of
single certificates or the same aggregate percentage interest, as the case
may
be, upon surrender of the certificates to be exchanged at the office or
agency.
CMSI
will
execute and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent will authenticate and deliver
the certificates that the certificate holder is entitled to receive.
Every
certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange will be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the
Trustee, CMSI
and the
Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the holder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.
No
service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of
certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require a payment sufficient
to
cover any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection with the transfer
or
exchange.
All
certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange will
be
canceled and, subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange
Act,
subsequently destroyed by the Trustee or, at its direction, by the Certificate
Registrar.
The
Certificate Registrar will provide the Paying Agent and the Trustee by
the third
business day before each distribution day, the names and addresses of each
certificate holder as of the record date and the number of single certificates
or percentage interest it holds of record.
(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing section 5.2(a), no legal or beneficial interest
in
all or any portion of a residual certificate may be transferred, directly
or
indirectly, to a “disqualified organization“ within the meaning of Internal
Revenue Code Section 860E(e)(5), or to an agent of a disqualified organization
(including a broker, nominee, or other middleman) (an Agent)
and any
such purported transfer will be void and of no effect. Further, no legal
or
beneficial interest in all or any portion of a residual certificate may
be
registered in the name of a Plan or a person investing the assets of a
Plan
(such Plan or person an ERISA
Prohibited holder)
or in
the name of a person that is not (i) a U.S. person or (ii) a non-U.S. person
that holds the residual certificate in connection with the conduct of a
trade or
business within the United States and has furnished the transferor, the
Certificate Registrar, and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI
or (iii)
a non-U.S. person that has delivered to the transferor, the Certificate
Registrar, and the Trustee an opinion of a nationally recognized tax counsel
to
the effect that the transfer of the residual certificate to it is in accordance
with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and that
such
90
transfer
of the residual certificate will not be disregarded for federal income
tax
purposes (any such person who is not described in clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii)
above being referred to herein as a “Non-permitted Foreign holder”).
Furthermore, no legal or beneficial interest in all or any portion of a
residual
certificate may be transferred, directly or indirectly, to a foreign permanent
establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income
tax
treaty, of the transferee or any other person. CMSI
will not
execute and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent will not authenticate and
deliver, a new residual certificate in connection with any transfer of
a
residual certificate, and neither CMSI,
the
Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee will accept a surrender for transfer
or
registration of transfer, or register the transfer of, any residual certificate
unless the transferor will have provided to CMSI,
the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee an affidavit, substantially in the
form of
Appendix 1 hereto, signed by the transferee, to the effect that the transferee
is not such a disqualified organization, an agent for any entity as to which the
transferee has not received a substantially similar affidavit, an ERISA
Prohibited holder, a Non-permitted Foreign holder, or a person for whom
income
on the residual certificate is attributed to a foreign permanent establishment
or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of
the
transferee or any other person, accompanied by a written statement signed
by the
transferor to the effect that, as of the time of the transfer, the transferor
has no actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. Upon notice by
CMSI
that any
legal or beneficial interest in any portion of a residual certificate has
been
transferred, directly or indirectly, to a disqualified organization or
an Agent
in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, the Trustee will furnish
to the
Internal Revenue Service and the transferor of such residual certificate
or to
such Agent, within 60 days of the request therefor by such
transferor or
such
Agent, and CMSI
agrees
to provide the Trustee with the computation of such information necessary
to the
application of Internal Revenue Code Section 860E(e) as may be required
by the
Internal Revenue Code, including but not limited to the present value of
the
total anticipated excess inclusions for such residual certificate (or portion
thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of CMSI,
the
reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to
the transferor or such Agent; however, the Trustee and CMSI
will in
no event be excused from furnishing such information. Every holder of a
residual
certificate will be deemed to have consented to such amendments to this
agreement as may be required to further effectuate the restrictions on
transfer
of residual certificates to a disqualified organization, an Agent, an
ERISA
Prohibited holder or a Non-permitted Foreign holder.
The
affidavit described in the preceding paragraph will also contain the statement
of the transferee that it (i) has historically paid its debts as they have
come
due and intends to do so in the future, (ii) understands that it may incur
liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual certificate,
(iii)
intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual certificate as
they
become due, (iv) will not cause the income for the residual certificate
to be
attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within
the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the transferee or any other
person and (v) will not transfer the residual certificate to any person
or
entity that does not provide a similar affidavit.
91
The
transferor’s statement to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar accompanying
the affidavit will state that, after conducting a reasonable investigation
of
the financial condition of the transferee, the transferor has no knowledge
or
reason to know that the statements made by the transferee for clauses (i)
and
(iii) of the preceding sentence are false. Each residual certificate will
bear a
legend referring to the restrictions contained in this paragraph and the
preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no transfer of any private certificate may be made unless
such
private certificate has been registered under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities or “blue sky” laws, or an exemption from the Securities Act and
applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws is available. Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any private certificate, (1) neither the Trustee
nor
the Certificate Registrar will accept surrender for transfer or registration
of
transfer of, or register the transfer of, any private certificate and (2)
CMSI
will not
execute, and neither the Trustee nor the Authenticating Agent will authenticate
and deliver, any new private certificate in connection with the transfer
of any
private certificate, unless either (A) such private certificate has been
registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities or
“blue
sky” laws, or (B) exemptions from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws are available,
and the transferee delivers to CMSI,
the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar a letter substantially to the effect
set
forth in exhibit D to this agreement and (1) if such transferee is not
a
“Qualified Institutional Buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the
Securities Act, and if so requested by CMSI,
an
opinion of counsel acceptable to CMSI
will
have been delivered to CMSI,
the
Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that such transfer
is in
compliance with either subclause (A) or subclause (B) of this clause (i)
of this
section 5.2; or (2) if such transfer is to a non-institutional investor,
unless
such investor is an accredited investor (as defined in Regulation D under
the
Securities Act) and has a net worth (exclusive of primary residence) of
at least
$1,000,000 as confirmed in writing to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any transferee of a legal or beneficial interest in all
or a
portion of a private certificate that is a book-entry certificate will
be deemed
to have made the representations set forth in exhibit D to this agreement
including, in clause 2 of such exhibit, the representation that such transferee
is a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the
Securities Act.
No
transfer of an ERISA
Restricted Certificate may be made unless any proposed transferee (i) executes
a
representation letter in substantially the form of exhibit E hereto and
in
substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and
CMSI
either
stating (a) that it is not, and is not acting on behalf of, any employee
benefit
plan subject to Title I of ERISA
or
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, or a governmental plan, as defined
in
Section 3(32) of ERISA,
subject
to any federal, state or local law (Similar
Law)
which
is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA
or the
Internal Revenue Code (collectively, a “Plan”) or using the assets of any such
Plan to effect such purchase or (b) it is an insurance company and the
source of
funds used to purchase the ERISA
Restricted Certificates is an “insurance company general account” (as such term
is defined in
92
Section
V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTE
95-60”),
60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995)) and there is no Plan for which the
amount of
such general accounts reserves and liabilities for the contracts) held
by or on
behalf of such Plan and all other Plans maintained by the same employer
(or
affiliate thereof as defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTE
95-60)
or by the same employee organization, exceed 10% of the total of all reserves
and liabilities of such general account (as such amounts are determined
under
Section I(a) of PTE
95-60)
at the date of acquisition and the purchase and holding of such ERISA
Restricted Certificate is covered by Sections I and III of PTE
95-60 or
(ii) provides (A) an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory
to
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and CMSI
that the
purchase or holding of ERISA
Restricted Certificate by or on behalf of such Plan will not result in
the
assets of the Trust being deemed to be “plan assets” and subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA
and the
Internal Revenue Code or Similar Law and will not subject CMSI,
the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken in this agreement and (B) such other opinions of counsel, officers’
certificates and agreements as CMSI,
the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require in connection with such
transfer.
The
applicable representation set forth in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph
shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee, Certificate Registrar
and
CMSI
by
the
acceptance by a transferee of the beneficial interest in any such ERISA
Restricted Certificate, unless the Trustee, Certificate Registrar and
CMSI
shall
have received from the transferee either an alternative representation
acceptable in form and substance to the Trustee, Certificate Registrar
and
CMSI
or the
opinion of counsel and other documentation set forth in clause (ii) of
the
preceding paragraph.
5.3 Mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen certificates
If
· any
mutilated certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any certificate,
· each
of
CMSI,
the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee receive such security or indemnity
as it
requires to save it harmless, and
· neither
the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is notified that the certificate
has
been acquired by a protected purchaser under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in the applicable jurisdiction,
then
CMSI
will
execute and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent will authenticate and deliver,
in exchange for or in lieu of such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
certificate, a new certificate of like tenor and initial principal balance,
initial notional balance or percentage interest. In connection with the
issuance
of any new certificate under this section 5.3, the Certificate Registrar
may
require a payment sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
imposed and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar) in connection with the issuance. Any duplicate
certificate issued pursuant to this section 5.3 will constitute complete
and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally
issued on
the closing date, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate
is
found at any time.
93
5.4 Persons
deemed owners
Prior
to
due presentation of a certificate for registration of transfer, CMSI,
the
Trustee, any Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of CMSI,
the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the person in whose name
the
certificate is registered as the owner of the certificate for the purpose
of
receiving distributions pursuant to section 3.6 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither CMSI,
the
Trustee, any Insurer, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of CMSI,
the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar will be affected by any notice to
the
contrary.
5.5 Access
to list of certificate holders’ names and addresses
If
the
Trustee is not the Certificate Registrar and requests CMSI
or the
Certificate Registrar to provide a list of the names and addresses of
certificate holders, CMSI
or the
Certificate Registrar will furnish to the Trustee, within 15 days after
receipt
of the request, a list as of the most recent record date, in such form
as the
Trustee reasonably requires.
If
three
or more certificate holders
· request
such information in writing from the Trustee,
· state
that they desire to communicate with other certificate holders regarding
their
rights under this agreement or under the certificates, and
· provide
a
copy of the communication they propose to transmit,
then
the
Trustee will, within five business days after the receipt of the request,
afford
the certificate holders access during normal business hours to the most
recent
list held by the Trustee, if any. If such list is as of a date more than
90 days
prior to the date of receipt of the certificate holders’ request, the Trustee
will promptly request from CMSI
or the
Certificate Registrar a current list and will afford the certificate holders
access to the list promptly upon its receipt by the Trustee. Every certificate
holder, by receiving and holding a certificate, agrees that neither CMSI,
the
Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee will be held accountable by reason
of the
disclosure of any such information as to the list of the certificate holders,
regardless of the source from which the information is derived.
5.6 Definitive
certificates
If
· DTC
advises
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Clearing
Agency is
no longer willing or able properly to discharge its responsibilities as
depository for the book-entry certificates, and
· CMSI
is
unable to locate a qualified successor,
the
Certificate Registrar will notify the beneficial owners, through the Clearing
Agency, of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of definitive
certificates to beneficial owners requesting them. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar by the Clearing Agency of the certificates held of
record
by its nominee, accompanied by re-registration instructions and directions
to
execute and authenticate new certificates from CMSI,
the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will execute and authenticate definitive
certificates for delivery. CMSI
will
arrange for, and will bear all costs of, the printing and issuance of the
definitive certificates. Neither CMSI,
the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor the Authenticating Agent will be
liable
for any delay in delivery of such instructions by the Clearing Agency and
may
conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, such
instructions.
94
5.7 Notices
to Clearing Agency
Whenever
notice or other communication to the holders of book-entry certificates
is
required under this agreement, until definitive certificates are issued
to
beneficial owners pursuant to section 5.6, the Trustee will deliver such
notices
and communications to the Clearing Agency.
6 [Reserved]
7 Default
7.1 Events
of Default
If
any of
the following events (Events
of Default)
is
continuing:
(a)
CitiMortgage, as servicer or master servicer, fails to make a full payment,
deposit, transfer or distribution required of it in such capacities under
this
agreement, and the failure continues unremedied for
· 10
business days after the Trustee gives written notice of the failure to
CitiMortgage, or the holders of the Required Amount of certificates give
written
notice of the failure to CitiMortgage and the Trustee, if the failure results
from an error in calculating the amount of the required deposit, transfer
or
distribution, or
· three
business days after such notice if the failure results from any other reason;
or
(b)
CitiMortgage fails to reimburse a Paying Agent advance as required by section
3.5, and the failure is not remedied for 60 business days after the Trustee
or
the Paying Agent gives CitiMortgage written notice of the failure, or the
holders of the Required Amount of Certificates give CitiMortgage and the
Trustee
such notice; or
(c)
CitiMortgage fails to observe or perform in any material respect any other
covenant or agreement of CitiMortgage set forth in the certificates or
in this
agreement, and the failure
· materially
and adversely affects the rights of the certificate holders, and
· continues
unremedied for 60 business days after the Trustee gives CitiMortgage written
notice of the failure, requiring the failure to be remedied, or the holders
of
the Required Amount of Certificates give such notice to CitiMortgage and
the
Trustee; or
(d)
a
court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction enters a decree
or
order for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator for
CitiMortgage in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets
and
liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding up or liquidation
of
CitiMortgage’s affairs, and the decree or order continues unstayed and in effect
for 60 consecutive days; or
(e) CitiMortgage
consents to the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in
an
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities,
or
similar proceeding for CitiMortgage or substantially all of its property,
or
CitiMortgage admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they
become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency
or
reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
or
voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations;
then
the
Trustee or the holders of the Required Amount of certificates, by notice
in
writing to CitiMortgage (and to the Trustee if given by the certificate
holders)
may terminate all of CitiMortgage’s rights and obligations as servicer of the
affiliated mortgage loans and as master servicer of the third-party mortgage
loans under this agreement. Upon CitiMortgage’s receipt of such notice, all
CitiMortgage’s authority under this agreement, whether for the certificates or
the mortgage loans or otherwise, will pass to and be vested in
the
95
Trustee
pursuant to this section 7.1, and the Trustee will be authorized to execute
and
deliver, on behalf of CitiMortgage as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any
documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts
or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice,
whether
to complete the transfer and endorsement of the mortgage loans and related
documents or otherwise. CitiMortgage will cooperate with the Trustee in
effecting the termination of CitiMortgage’s responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including the transfer to the successor servicer for the
administration by it of all cash amounts held by CitiMortgage for deposit,
or
deposited by CitiMortgage, in the certificate account or servicing account
or
subsequently received on the mortgage loans. In addition to any other amounts
that are then payable, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities
as
servicer and master servicer of the mortgage loans, may become payable
to
CitiMortgage under this agreement, CitiMortgage will be entitled to receive
out
of any delinquent interest payment on a mortgage loan, due before such
termination notice but received afterwards, that portion of the payment
that it
would have received if the notice had not been given.
7.2 Trustee
to act; appointment of successor
Once
CitiMortgage receives a notice of termination under section 7.1, the Trustee
will be the successor in all respects to CitiMortgage in its capacity as
servicer and master servicer, and will be subject to all CitiMortgage’s rights
and obligations under this agreement. As compensation, the Trustee will,
except
as provided in section 7.1, be entitled to the same compensation (whether
payable out of the certificate account or otherwise) as CitiMortgage would
have
been entitled to under this agreement if no such notice of termination
had been
given. However, the Trustee may, if it is unwilling so to act, or will,
if it is
legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, an established housing finance institution with a net worth
of not
less than $5 million and approved as seller/servicer by GNMA,
Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac as the successor to CitiMortgage in the assumption of
all or
any part of the rights and obligations of CitiMortgage under this agreement.
Until such a successor is appointed, unless the Trustee is prohibited by
law
from so acting, the Trustee will act in such capacity as provided above.
The
Trustee may make such arrangements for compensation of such successor out
of
payments on the mortgage loans as it and the successor agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation will exceed CitiMortgage’s compensation under
this agreement. The Trustee and the successor will take any actions, consistent
with this agreement, necessary to effect the succession.
The
Trustee will promptly notify the certificate holders and any Insurer of
any
termination of CitiMortgage or appointment of a successor pursuant to this
section 7.
8 The
Trustee
8.1 Duties
(a)
Unless the Trustee has notice that an Event of Default is continuing, the
Trustee will only have those obligations that are specifically set forth
in this
agreement, and no implied covenants of the Trustee will be read into this
agreement.
(b)
If
the Trustee has notice that an Event of Default is continuing, then
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, the Trustee
will
exercise
96
those
rights and powers vested in it by this agreement, and use the same degree
of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise under
the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. If the Trustee is incorporated
or organized under the laws of the State of New York, then, in considering
what
actions are prudent in the circumstances, the Trustee will consider, to
the
extent applicable, the matters enumerated in Section 126(2)(a) through
(e) of
the New York Real Property Law, as in effect on the date of this agreement,
and
will comply with subdivisions (3),(4) and (5) of Section 126 of the New
York
Real Property Law, as in effect on the date of this agreement.
The
Trustee will not be charged with notice of an Event of Default (other than
a
default in payment to the Trustee) unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee
obtains actual knowledge of such failure or receives written notice of
such
Event of Default at its corporate trust office from CitiMortgage or the
holders
of the Required Amount of Certificates.
(c) The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certifications, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments that are specifically required
or requested to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this agreement
(each a
Furnished
Document),
will
examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this
agreement. The Trustee may request an officer’s certificate as to any matter of
fact if the Trustee believes it desirable that the fact be established
before
the Trustee takes an action under this agreement. Unless the Trustee has
notice
that an Event of Default is continuing, the Trustee may conclusively rely,
without investigation, on the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the
opinions expressed in any Furnished Document that the Trustee believes
to be
genuine, signed or presented by the proper parties, and in conformity with
the
requirements of this agreement.
The
Trustee will investigate the facts or matters stated in a Furnished Document
if
the holders of the Required Amount of Certificates request such investigation
in
writing. CitiMortgage will pay, or will reimburse the Trustee upon demand,
for
the reasonable expense of such investigation. If the Trustee believes that
the
payment within a reasonable time of the costs and liabilities likely to
be
incurred in the investigation are not reasonably assured to it, the Trustee
may,
as a condition to conducting such investigation, require reasonable indemnity
from the certificate holders against such expense or liability. Nothing
in this
clause (c) will derogate from CitiMortgage’s obligation to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
mortgagors.
(d) The
Trustee will not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this
agreement, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee
reasonably believes that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(e) Except
to
the extent that the Trustee becomes a successor servicer to CitiMortgage
under
sections 4.3 or 7.2, the Trustee will have no responsibility for the performance
or the manner of performance of any of CitiMortgage’s obligations under this
agreement. The relationship of CitiMortgage to the Trustee under this agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and
not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
(f) The
Trustee may appoint agents (which may include CitiMortgage and
its
97
affiliates)
to perform any of the Trustee’s obligations under this agreement. Such agents
will have all of the rights and obligations of the Trustee conferred on
them by
such appointment, but the Trustee will continue to be responsible for its
obligations under this agreement.
8.2 Liability
(a) In
performing its obligations under this agreement, the Trustee will be liable
for
its own negligence or misconduct, except
that the
Trustee will not be liable for
· an
error
of judgment by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless the Trustee
was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
· an
action
by the Trustee believed by it to be permitted under this agreement;
and
· an
action
taken in accordance with the direction of the holders of the Required Amount
of
certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee, under this agreement.
(b) The
Trustee may consult with counsel, and an opinion of counsel will be full
and
complete authorization and protection for any action by the Trustee taken
under
this agreement in accordance with such opinion.
(c) The
Trustee will not be responsible for the selection of the Mortgage Document
Custodian, or any Note Custodian, Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar,
or
Authenticating Agent, nor for their performance of their obligations under
this
agreement, the Mortgage Document Custodial Agreement, or any other applicable
agreement.
8.3 Trustee
not liable for certificates or mortgage loans
The
recitals contained herein and in the certificates (other than the certification
of authentication on the certificates) will be taken as the statements
of
CitiMortgage, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness
of
the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this agreement, the Mortgage Document Custodial Agreement or of the
certificates (other than the certification of authentication on the
certificates) or of any mortgage loan or related document. The Trustee
will not
be accountable for the use or application by CitiMortgage of any of the
certificates or of the proceeds of such certificates or for the use or
application of any funds paid to CitiMortgage in respect of the mortgage
loans
or deposited in or withdrawn from the certificate account or servicing
account
by CitiMortgage. The Trustee will have no liability for any losses incurred
as a
result of
· any
failure of the Trust Fund to qualify as the specified separate constituent
REMICs,
· any
termination, inadvertent or otherwise, of the status of the Trust Fund
as the
specified separate constituent REMICs,
· any
tax
on prohibited transactions imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 860F(a)(1),
· any
tax
on net income from foreclosure property imposed by Internal Revenue Code
Section
860G(c),
· any
tax
on contributions to any constituent REMIC
after
the startup day imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 860G(d),
· any
erroneous calculation or determination or any act or omission of CitiMortgage
hereunder or
· any
erroneous information included in any federal, state or local income tax
or
98
information
return prepared pursuant to section 3.16;
provided,
that
the Trustee will not be excused hereby from liability for its own negligence,
bad faith or failure to perform its duties as specified herein.
8.4 Trustee
may own certificates
The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee
of one or more of the certificates with the same rights as it would have
if it
were not Trustee and may otherwise deal with CitiMortgage or any of its
affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.
8.5 Trustee’s
fees and expenses
The
Trustee’s fees and expenses (and those of any co-trustee appointed pursuant to
section 8.10), and of any Certificate Registrar, Mortgage Document Custodian,
Depository, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to section
8.12, and agent of the Trustee appointed pursuant to section 8.2(g), will
be
paid by CitiMortgage, as servicer, in accordance with section 3.9(a). Citibank,
N.A., as Paying Agent, has agreed to a fee of $3,000 a year. CitiMortgage
will
also pay any expenses associated with the resignation or removal of the
Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
In
consideration of paying the amounts payable pursuant to this section 8.5,
CitiMortgage may retain any trustee fee that may be payable on the third-party
mortgage loans. The Trustee (and any such co-Trustee) will be entitled
to
reasonable compensation (which will not be limited by any provision of
law with
respect to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services
rendered by them in the execution of the trust or trusts hereby created
and in
the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder
of the
Trustee, and upon notice to CitiMortgage, the Trustee will be paid or reimbursed
by CitiMortgage for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred
or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of the certificate
holders hereunder.
The
Trustee, each Certificate Registrar, each Note Custodian, each Mortgage
Document
Custodian, each Depository, each Paying Agent, each Authenticating Agent
and any
agent appointed pursuant to section 8.2 are entitled to indemnification
from
CitiMortgage, as servicer or master servicer, and will be held harmless
against
any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith
on their
part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of
the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending
themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or
performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder. Such indemnification
will survive the payment of the certificates and termination of the Trust
Fund,
as well as the resignation or removal of CitiMortgage as servicer (if such
action which caused the need for the indemnification occurred while CitiMortgage
acted as servicer), and for purposes of such indemnification neither the
negligence nor bad faith of any of the entities enumerated in the preceding
sentence, nor of any Note Custodian or Mortgage Document Custodian, will
be
imputed to, or adversely affect, the right of any other entity enumerated
in
the
99
preceding
sentence to be entitled to indemnification.
8.6 Eligibility
requirements for Trustee
The
Trustee hereunder will at all times be a corporation or a national banking
association, other than an affiliate of CitiMortgage, having its principal
office in, and organized and doing business under the laws of, the United
States
of America or a state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $30 million,
and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If
such
corporation or national banking association publishes reports of condition
at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this section
8.6,
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or national banking
association will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. If the Trustee ceases
to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this section 8.6, the Trustee
will
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in section
8.7.
8.7 Resignation
or removal of Trustee
The
Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by
giving
written notice thereof to CitiMortgage. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, CitiMortgage will promptly appoint a successor Trustee by
written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument will be delivered
to the
resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor
Trustee
will have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days
after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition
any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.
If
the
Trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of section
8.6
and will fail to resign after written request therefor by CitiMortgage,
or if
the Trustee is legally unable to act, or is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent,
or
a receiver of the Trustee or of its property is appointed, or any public
officer
takes charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the
purpose of rehabilitation, conversion or liquidation, then CitiMortgage
may
remove the Trustee. If it removes the Trustee under the authority of the
immediately preceding sentence, CitiMortgage will promptly appoint a successor
Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
will
be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor
Trustee.
The
Trustee may also be removed (i) by CitiMortgage, (a) if the Trustee ceases
to be
eligible to continue as such under this agreement or if the Trustee becomes
insolvent, (b) if the Trustee breaches any of its duties under this agreement
which materially adversely affects the certificate holders, (c) if through
the
performance or nonperformance of certain actions by the Trustee, the rating
assigned to the certificates would be lowered or (d) if the credit rating
of the
Trustee is downgraded to a level which would result in the rating assigned
to
the certificates to be lowered; or (ii) by the holders of certificates
evidencing more than 50% of the voting interest of the certificates then
outstanding and more than 50% of the percentage interests of the residual
certificates.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this section 8.7 will not become
effective
100
until
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in section
8.8.
8.8 Successor
trustee
Any
successor Trustee appointed as provided in section 8.7 will execute, acknowledge
and deliver to CitiMortgage and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or
removal
of the predecessor Trustee will become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become fully vested with
all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder
with
like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The predecessor Trustee
will
deliver to the successor Trustee all mortgage files and related documents
and
statements held by it hereunder; and, if any mortgage notes or mortgage
documents are then held by the Mortgage Note Custodian or Mortgage Document
Custodian, respectively, pursuant to a Mortgage Document Custodial Agreement,
the predecessor Trustee and the Mortgage Note Custodian or the Mortgage
Document
Custodian, as the case may be, will amend such Mortgage Document Custodial
Agreement to make the successor Trustee the successor to the predecessor
Trustee
thereunder; and CitiMortgage and the predecessor Trustee will execute and
deliver such instruments and do other such things as may reasonably be
required
for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee
all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor Trustee will accept appointment as provided in this section 8.8
unless
at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee will be eligible
under the
provisions of section 8.6.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this section
8.8, CitiMortgage will mail notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder
to all holders of certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate
Register, and to any Insurer. If CitiMortgage fails to mail such notice
within
10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee will cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of
CitiMortgage.
8.9 Merger
or consolidation of Trustee
Any
corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee may
be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or
national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee will be a party, or any corporation
or
national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of
the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, will be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation or national banking association will
be
eligible under the provisions of section 8.6, without the execution or
filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
8.10 Appointment
of co-trustee or separate trustee
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this agreement, for the purpose of meeting any
legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or
property
securing any mortgage note may at the time be located, CitiMortgage and
the
Trustee acting jointly will have the power and will execute and deliver
all
instruments to appoint one or more persons approved by the Trustee to act
as
co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee
or
separate trustees, of all or any
101
part
of
the Trust Fund, and to vest in such person or persons, in such capacity
and for
the benefit of the certificate holders and any Insurer, such title to the
Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
section
8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as CitiMortgage
and
the Trustee may consider necessary and desirable. If CitiMortgage will
not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request
so to do, or in the case an Event of Default will have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone will have the power to make such appointment.
No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder will be required to meet the terms
of
eligibility as a successor trustee under section 8.6 and no notice to the
certificate holders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
will be required under section 8.8.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee will, to the extent permitted by law and
by the
instrument appointing such separate trustee or co-trustee, be appointed
and act
subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a) All
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
will be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and
such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without
the
Trustee joining such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to CitiMortgage hereunder), the Trustee
will
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title
to the
Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) will be exercised
and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely
at the
direction of the Trustee;
(b) No
trustee hereunder will be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(c) CitiMortgage
and the Trustee acting jointly may accept the resignation of or remove
any
separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee will be deemed to
have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee will refer to this agreement and the conditions of this section
8.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts
conferred, will be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may
be provided therein, subject to all of the provisions of this agreement
relating
to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the
Trustee. Every such instrument will be filed with the Trustee and a copy
thereof
given to CitiMortgage.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may constitute the Trustee, its agent or
attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited
by
law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this agreement on its
behalf
and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee will die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties,
rights, remedies and trusts will vest in and be exercised by the Trustee
to the
extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee.
102
8.11 Tax
returns
The
Trustee, upon request, will furnish CitiMortgage with all such information
as
may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of all federal,
state and local income tax or information returns of each constituent
REMIC.
The
Trustee will sign the federal and, if applicable, state and local income
tax
returns of each constituent REMIC.
8.12 Appointment
of authenticating agent
As
long
as any of the certificates remain outstanding the Trustee may appoint an
Authenticating Agent or Agents (which may include CitiMortgage or any of
its
affiliates) which will be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate certificates, and certificates so authenticated will be entitled
to
the benefit of this agreement and will be valid and obligatory for all
purposes
as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference made in
this
agreement to the authentication and delivery of certificates by the Trustee
or
the Trustee’s certification of authentication, such reference will be deemed to
include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certification of authentication executed on
behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent will
be
acceptable to CitiMortgage and will at all times be a corporation or national
banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the
United
States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital
and
surplus of not less than $15 million, authorized under such laws to conduct
a
trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state
authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition
at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this section 8.12, the combined
capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent will be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition
so published. If an Authenticating Agent ceases to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this section 8.12, such Authenticating Agent will
resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this section
8.12.
Any
corporation or national banking association into which an authenticating
Agent
may be merged in or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or
any
corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent will be
a party,
or any corporation or national banking association succeeding to the corporate
agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, will continue
to
be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation or national banking
association will be otherwise eligible under this section 8.12, without
the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the
Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.
An
Authenticating Agent may resign by giving written notice thereof to the
Trustee
and to CitiMortgage. The Trustee may terminate the agency of an Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and
to
CitiMortgage. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such
a
termination, or if the Authenticating Agent ceases to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this section 8.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor
acceptable to CitiMortgage and
103
will
mail
written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid
to all
certificate holders as their names and addresses appear in the Certificate
Register, and to any Insurer. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance
of its appointment hereunder will become vested with all the rights, powers
and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as
an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent will
be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this section
8.12.
Any
reasonable compensation paid to an Authenticating Agent for its services
under
this section 8.12 will be a reimbursable expense pursuant to section 8.5
if paid
by the Trustee.
If
an
appointment is made pursuant to this section 8.12, the certificates may
have
endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certification of authentication,
an alternate certification of authentication in the following form:
“This
is
one of the certificates referred to in the within-mentioned
Agreement.

9 Termination
9.1 Termination
upon repurchase by CMSI
or liquidation of all mortgage loans
The
obligations and responsibilities of CMSI,
CitiMortgage
and the Trustee under, and the Trust Fund created by, this agreement will
terminate upon
(a) the
repurchase by CMSI
of all
of the mortgage loans and all property acquired in respect of any mortgage
loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, or
(b)
the
later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect
thereto) of the last mortgage loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in lieu
of
foreclosure of any mortgage loan and (ii) the payment to the certificate
holders
and to the Insurer, as subrogee of any insured class certificates, of all
amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this agreement;
provided,
however, that in no event will the trust created hereby continue beyond
the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the lawful
descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States
of
America to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of this agreement.
CMSI’s
right
to repurchase all of the mortgage loans on any distribution day pursuant
to
clause (a) above will be conditioned upon
· the
aggregate scheduled principal balances of such mortgage loans, at the time
of
any such repurchase and after giving effect to distributions to be made
on such
distribution day, aggregating an amount less than 10% of the aggregate
scheduled
principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the closing date, which amount
is
set forth in the Series Terms and
· any
other
condition set forth in the Series Terms.
The
repurchase of the mortgage loans and other property under clause (a) above
will
be at a price equal to the sum of
· 100%
of
the unpaid principal balance of each mortgage loan on the first day of
the month
of repurchase (after giving effect to payments of principal due on such
first
day)
104
· plus
accrued interest at the pass-through rate for each mortgage loan to but
not
including the first day of the month in the month in which the related
distribution is made to certificate holders, after the deduction of (x)
unreimbursed voluntary advances, affiliated Paying Agent advances, third-party
Paying Agent advances, and advance account advances (other than such payments
and advances in respect of interest in excess of the pass-through rate
on the
mortgage loans) made prior to the month of repurchase, whereupon such voluntary
advances, affiliated Paying Agent advances, third-party Paying Agent advances
and advance account advances will be reimbursed to the Paying Agent or
deemed
reimbursed to CitiMortgage, as the case may be, by such deductions, and
(y) the
aggregate amount of any non-supported prepayment interest shortfalls for
the
distribution day in the month of such repurchase, and
· the
appraised value of any acquired property in the Trust Fund (less the good
faith
estimate of CitiMortgage of liquidation expenses to be incurred in connection
with its disposal thereof), such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by CitiMortgage and the Trustee.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this section 9.1, if the purchase price of
the
mortgage loans under clause (a) above would be less than the aggregate
fair
market value of the mortgage loans on the first day of the month of repurchase
(after giving effect to payments of principal due on such first day), then
CMSI
may so
repurchase the mortgage loans only if the repurchase would be permitted
under
then-applicable risk-based capital rules applicable to securitizations
treated
as sales.
Any
method of termination or repurchase of the Trust Fund other than as provided
in
clauses (a) or (b) above must be based on the receipt by the Trustee of
an
opinion of counsel (who may not be an employee of CMSI
or of an
affiliate of CMSI)
or
other evidence that such termination and repurchase will be part of a “qualified
liquidation” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A),
will not adversely affect the status of the Trust Fund as separate constituent
REMICs
under
the Internal Revenue Code and will not otherwise subject the Trust Fund
to any
tax. CMSI
may
transfer its right to repurchase all of the mortgage loans pursuant to
clause
(a) above to any third party of choice.
Such
termination will occur only in connection with a “qualified liquidation” of each
constituent REMIC
within
the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A), pursuant to
which
the Trustee will sell or otherwise dispose of all of the remaining assets
of the
Trust Fund and make all required distributions to certificate holders within
90
days of the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation. For this purpose,
the
notice of termination described in the next paragraph will be the adoption
of a
plan of complete liquidation described in Internal Revenue Code Section
860F-(a)(4)-(A)(i), which will be deemed to occur on the date the first
such
notice is mailed. Such date will be specified in the final federal income
tax
return of each constituent REMIC
constituted by the Trust Fund.
Notice
of
a termination, specifying the distribution day upon which the certificate
holders may surrender their certificates to the Paying Agent for payment
of the
final distribution and cancellation, will be given promptly by the Trustee
by
letter to the certificate holders mailed not earlier than 30 days nor more
than
60 days prior to such distribution day specifying
|
·
|
the
distribution day upon which final payment of the certificates
will be
made
|
105
upon
presentation and surrender of the certificates at the office of the Paying
Agent
designated in the notice,
|
·
|
the
amount of the final distribution, and
|
|
·
|
that
the record date otherwise applicable to such distribution day
will not
apply, and that distributions will be made only upon presentation
and
surrender of the certificates at the designated office of the
Paying
Agent.
|
CMSI
will
give such notice to the Trustee and, if applicable, the Certificate Registrar,
the Mortgage Document Custodian and the Paying Agent at the time the notice
is
given to the certificate holders.
If
such
notice is given, CMSI
will
deposit in the certificate account or the account designated by the Paying
Agent, on the business day preceding the distribution day for the final
distribution, an amount equal to the final distribution on the certificates.
Upon certification to the Trustee by an Authorized Officer of CMSI
following such final deposit, and delivery by CMSI
of an
opinion of counsel to the effect that all conditions set forth in this
section
9.1 have been met, the Trustee will promptly release to CMSI
the
mortgage files for the mortgage loans.
If
all of
the certificate holders do not surrender their certificates for cancellation
within six months after the date specified in the notice, the Trustee will
give
a second written notice to the remaining certificate holders to surrender
their
certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution. If all
the
certificates have not been surrendered for cancellation within one year
after
the second notice, the Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the
remaining certificate holders concerning surrender of their certificates,
and
the cost thereof will be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain
subject hereto. Interest will not accrue for the period of any delay in
the
payment of a certificate resulting from the failure of a holder to surrender
the
certificate in accordance with the notice.
10 General
provisions
10.1 Amendments
This
Agreement may be amended by the parties, without the consent of any of
the
certificate holders,
· to
cure
an ambiguity or inconsistency, or to correct a mistake,
· to
add
provisions not inconsistent with this agreement,
· to
comply
with any requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code,
· to
establish a “qualified reserve fund” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code
Section 860G(a)(7)(B), or
· to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund as separate constituent REMICs.
This
Agreement may also be amended by the parties, without certificate holder
consent, if CMSI
or
CitiMortgage delivers an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee and
the
Insurer to the effect that the amendment will not materially adversely
affect
the interests of the certificate holders or the Insurer.
The
Trustee will execute and deliver any amendment to this agreement provided
by
CMSI
or
CitiMortgage that conforms to the preceding two paragraphs, but the Trustee
need
not enter into any such amendment that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under this agreement or otherwise.
This
Agreement may also be amended by the parties to add, change or eliminate
provisions of this agreement, or to modify the rights of certificate holders;
with the consent of
1 the
holders of 2/3 of the certificates,
106
2 if
a
class of certificates is affected materially and adversely by the amendment
in a
way that is different from the other affected classes, 2/3 of the certificates
of the differently affected class, and
3 the
Insurer if the Insurer is materially and adversely affected by the
amendment.
Approval
shall be by percentage interest for residual certificates and by principal
balance for all other certificates.
In
connection with any such amendment, CMSI
or
CitiMortgage will deliver an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee
(x)
identifying any class of certificates that may be affected materially and
adversely by the amendment in a way that is different from the other affected
classes (or stating that there is no such differently affected class) and
(y)
identifying any class whose certificate holders would not be materially
adversely affected by such amendment.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no amendment will, without the consent of the holders of
all the
outstanding certificates
· reduce
or
delay collections or payments received on mortgage loans or distributions
to be
made on any certificate, or
·
reduce
the proportion required to consent to any such amendment.
Certificate
holders may consent to an amendment by approving the substance of the amendment
rather than the particular form of the proposed amendment. The Trustee
may
prescribe reasonable requirements for the manner of obtaining and evidencing
such consents. Any proposed amendment is subject to the receipt by the
Trustee
of a legal opinion, at the expense of the party proposing the amendment
(or at
the expense of the Trust Fund if proposed by the Trustee), that the amendment
will not cause any constituent REMIC
to fail

in
Internal Revenue Code Section 860F(e) for holders of residual certificates)
or
members of an association; nor will a certificate holder be liable to
any
107
third
person for any action taken by the parties to this agreement pursuant to
its
provisions.
A
certificate holder may not institute any suit, action or proceeding with
respect
to this agreement, unless
· the
holder has notified the Trustee of the continuance of an Event of Default,
· the
holders of the Required Amount of certificates have requested the Trustee
to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee, and
have
offered the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it requires against the
costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred, and

Each
certificate holder understands, and agrees with every other certificate
holder
and the Trustee, that no certificate holders may under this agreement affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other certificate holders, or obtain
priority over or preference to any such other holders, or enforce any right
under this agreement, except as provided in this agreement, and for the
equal,
ratable and common benefit of all certificate holders. For the protection
and
enforcement of the provisions of this section 10.3, each certificate holder
and
the Trustee may seek such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
10.4 Governing
law
This
Agreement and the certificates will be governed by the laws of the State
of New

be
governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which its corporate trust office
is
located.
10.5 Maintenance
of REMICs
The
execution and delivery of this agreement will constitute an acknowledgment
by
each of CMSI
and
CitiMortgage on behalf of the certificate holders that it intends hereby
to
establish and maintain (for federal income tax purposes) one or more “real
estate mortgage investment conduits” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code
Section 860D, and CMSI
and
CitiMortgage are hereby granted all necessary powers to further such
intent.

Except
as
otherwise stated in this agreement, all communications relating to this
agreement including all demands and notices will be in writing and will
be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by
first
class mail, to a party at the address for notices set forth in the Series
Terms
or at such other address as the party designates in a written notice to
each
other party. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a certificate
holder will be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the holder’s
address shown in the Certificate Register. Any notice so mailed within
the time
prescribed in this agreement will be conclusively presumed to have been
duly
given, whether or not the certificate holder receives the notice. Notices
to the
Trustee will be effective only upon receipt.
10.7 Severability
of provisions
If
a
provision of this agreement is held invalid, then such provisions will
be deemed
severable from the remaining provisions of this agreement and will in no
way
affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions, or of the
certificates or the rights of their holders.
10.8 Assignment
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this agreement, except as provided in sections
4.2,
4.3 and 4.5, CMSI
or
108
CitiMortgage

and the
holders of 2/3 of the outstanding certificates and 2/3 of the percentage
interests of the outstanding residual certificates.
10.9 Certificates
nonassessable and fully paid

intention of the Trustee that the certificate holders will not be personally
liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests represented
by the
certificates will be nonassessable for any losses or expenses of the Trust
Fund
or for any reason whatsoever, and that the certificates upon authentication
thereof by the Trustee pursuant to section 2.5 are and will be deemed fully
paid.
11 Depositories
11.1 Depositories
CitiMortgage
may transfer the certificate account, buydown account, if any, escrow account,
custodial accounts for P&I or servicing account to a bank, savings and loan
association or trust company organized under the laws of the United States
or
any State thereof (an “eligible depository”). Upon such transfer, such
transferee bank, savings and loan association or trust company will be
deemed to
be a Depository for the transferred account or accounts.
For
a
Depository of the certificate account, buydown account, escrow account,
custodial accounts for P&I or servicing account to satisfy the “rating
requirement”
· its
long-term debt obligations must be rated at least “A” by Fitch if Fitch is a
rating agency, and
· its
short-term debt obligations are rated at least “A-1+” by S&P if S&P is a
rating agency, “F-1” by Fitch if Fitch is a rating agency, and “P-1” by Moody’s
if Xxxxx’x is a rating agency.
If
a
Depository ceases to satisfy the rating requirement, then within five business
days after such cessation, CitiMortgage will
(A)
transfer or direct the Trustee to transfer the certificate account, buydown
account, escrow account, custodial accounts for P&I or servicing account to
an eligible depository that satisfies the rating requirements,
(B)
establish another account in the corporate trust department of the Trustee
or if
such Trustee satisfies the rating requirements, in any department of the
Trustee
(the “alternative certificate account,” “alternative buydown account,”
“alternative escrow account,” “alternative custodial accounts for P&I,” or
“alternative servicing account,” as the case may be) and transfer the funds from
the buydown account to the alternative buydown account, direct CitiMortgage
or a
third-party servicer, as applicable, to remit in accordance with this agreement
any funds deposited into the servicing account, escrow account or custodial
accounts for P&I to the alternative servicing account, alternative escrow
account or alternative custodial account for P&I, respectively, and direct
CitiMortgage to remit in accordance with this agreement any funds deposited
into
the certificate account to the alternative certificate account,
(C)
(i)
cause the Depository to pledge securities in the manner provided by applicable
law or (ii) pledge or cause to be pledged securities, which will be held
by the
Trustee or its agent free and clear of the lien of any third party, in
a manner
conferring on the Trustee a perfected first lien and otherwise reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee; such pledge in either case to secure the
Depository’s performance of its obligations in respect of the certificate
account, buydown account, escrow account, custodial accounts for P&I or
servicing
109
account
to the extent, if any, that such obligation is not fully insured by the
FDIC;
provided,
however,
that
prior to the day a Depository or CitiMortgage, as the case may be, pledges
securities pursuant to this subsection (C), CitiMortgage, any Insurer and
the
Trustee have received the written assurance of each rating agency that
the
pledging of such securities and any arrangements or agreements relating
thereto
will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then-current rating
of the
certificates (for any insured class certificates, without reference to
any
certificate insurance policy),
(D)
establish an account or accounts or enter into an agreement so that the
existing
certificate account, buydown account, escrow account, custodial accounts
for
P&I or servicing account is supported by a letter of credit or some other
form of credit support, which issuer of such letter of credit or other
form of
credit support has a long-term and short-term debt rating at least equal
to the
rating requirements; provided,
however,
that
prior to the establishment of such an account or the entering into of such
an
agreement, CitiMortgage, any Insurer and the Trustee receive written assurance
from each rating agency that the establishment of such an account or the
entering into of such an agreement so that the existing certificate account,
buydown account or servicing account is supported by a letter of credit
or some
other form of credit support will not result in a reduction or withdrawal
of the
then-current rating on the certificates (for an insured class certificates,
without reference to a certificate insurance policy),
(E)
establish another account which constitutes an Eligible Account, or
(F)
make
such other arrangements as to which CitiMortgage, any Insurer and the Trustee
have received prior written assurance from each rating agency that such
arrangement will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then-current
rating on the certificates.
If
the
rating on the certificates has been downgraded as a result of a rating
downgrade
of the Depository, for purposes of this paragraph, the then-current rating
on
the certificates will be the rating assigned to the certificates prior
to any
such downgrade (for any insured class certificates, without reference to
any
certificate insurance policy).

(a)
Citibank will indemnify the Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever which
may be
imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Trustee as the result of any
act or
omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by Citibank
of the
Mortgage Files; provided,
however,

Citibank will not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting
from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee.

will indemnify Citibank and hold it harmless against any loss, liability
or
expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on Citibank’s part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of

Mortgage Files, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against
any
claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of its
powers or duties hereunder or under the Pooling Agreement. Such indemnification
will survive the payment of the certificates and termination of the Trust
Fund,
as well as the resignation or removal of CitiMortgage as Servicer (if such
action which caused the need for the indemnification occurred while CitiMortgage
acted as Servicer), and for purposes of such indemnification neither the
negligence nor bad faith of the Trustee will be imputed to, or adversely
affect,
the right of Citibank to indemnification.
7 Limitation
of Custodian’s Liabilities and Duties
(a) Citibank
will not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns
relating
to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this agreement,
other

(b) Citibank
will not be responsible or liable for, and makes no representation or warranty
with respect to, the validity, adequacy or perfection of any lien upon
or
security interest in any Mortgage File.

have
no notice, and will not be bound by any of the terms and conditions of
any other
document or agreement executed or delivered in connection with, or intended
to
control any part of, the transactions anticipated by or referred to in
this
agreement unless Citibank is a signatory party to that document or agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Citibank will be deemed to have
notice
of the terms and conditions (including without limitation definitions not
otherwise set forth in full in this agreement) of other documents and agreements
executed or delivered in connection with, or intended to control any part
of,
the transactions anticipated by or referred to in this agreement, to the
extent
such terms and provisions are referenced, or are incorporated by reference,
into
this agreement only as long as the Trustee or CitiMortgage will have provided
a
copy of any such document or agreement to Citibank.
(d) Citibank’s
rights and obligations will only be such as are expressly set forth in
this
agreement or the Pooling Agreement. In no event will Citibank be obligated

in this agreement will be deemed to impose on Citibank any obligation to
qualify
to do business in any jurisdiction, other than (i) a jurisdiction where a
Mortgage File is or may be held by Citibank, and (ii) where failure to
qualify could have a material adverse effect on Citibank or its property
or
business or on the ability of Citibank to perform it duties
hereunder.
(f) Subject
to section 3, under no circumstances will Citibank be obligated to verify
the
authenticity of any signature on any of the documents received or examined
by it
in connection with this agreement or the authority or capacity of any person
to
execute or issue such document, nor will Citibank be responsible for the
value,
form, substance, validity, perfection (other than by taking and continuing
possession of the Mortgage Files), priority, effectiveness or enforceability
of
any of such documents, nor will Citibank be under a duty to inspect, review
or
examine the documents to determine whether they are appropriate for the
represented purpose or that they have been actually recorded or that they
are

(g) Citibank
will have no duty to ascertain whether or not any cash amount or payment
has
been received by the Trustee, the CMSI
or any
third person.
(h) Citibank
may assign its rights and obligations under this agreement , in whole or
in
part, to any Affiliate; however, Citibank will notify CMSI,
CitiMortgage
and the Trustee of any such assignment. Citibank may not assign its rights
or
obligations under this agreement, in whole or in part, to any other entity
without the prior written consent of CMSI,
CitiMortgage and the Trustee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
An "Affiliate" is an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled

(j) Citibank
will not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this
Agreement
or the Pooling Agreement or in the exercise of any of its rights and
obligations, if, in its sole judgment, it will believe that repayment of
such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured
to
it.
(k) Citibank
will not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting
from
acts beyond its control, such as acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots,
acts of
war or terrorism, epidemics, nationalization, expropriation, currency
restrictions, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire,
communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes
or
other disasters.

(l) Any
entity into which Citibank may be merged or converted or with which it
may be
consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which Citibank will be a party, or any entity succeeding
to the
business of Citibank, will be the successor of Citibank hereunder, without
the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any
of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
8. Advice
of Counsel
Citibank

such advice, provided that such action is not in violation of applicable
federal
or state law.
9. Effective
Period, Termination and Amendment, and Interpretive and Additional Provisions
This
agreement may be terminated (a) by Citibank’s resignation as Custodian, or
(b) by either CitiMortgage or the Trustee. In each case, such termination
will
be effected by notice to the other parties given no less than 60 days prior
to
termination. Upon notice of such termination, CitiMortgage will use its
reasonable best efforts to select a successor Custodian reasonably acceptable
to
the Trustee upon substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth
in
this agreement. If no such successor Custodian has been selected by the
50th day
after
such notice, the Trustee may, upon prior notice to CitiMortgage, select
a
successor Custodian. If no successor Custodian has been selected by
CitiMortgage or
the
Trustee by the effective date of the Citibank’s termination, the Trustee will
act as successor Custodian until the Trustee and CitiMortgage agree
on
a successor Custodian.
At,
or as
soon as practicable after, the termination of this agreement, Citibank
will
deliver the Mortgage Files to the successor Custodian at such place as
the
successor Custodian reasonably designates.
10. Binding
Arbitration
Any
misunderstanding or dispute between Citibank and CMSI
or
CitiMortgage arising
out of this agreement will be settled through consultation and negotiation
in
good faith and a spirit of mutual cooperation. However, if these attempts
fail,
such misunderstandings or disputes will be decided by binding arbitration
conducted, upon request by either of them, in New York, New York, before
a
single arbitrator designated by the American Arbitration Association (the
AAA),
in
accordance with the terms of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
AAA,
and to
the maximum extent applicable, the United States Arbitration Act (Title
9 of the
United States Code). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, either
Citibank, CMSI
or
CitiMortgage may
proceed to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain equitable relief
at any
time. An arbitrator may not award punitive damages or other damages not
measured
by the prevailing party’s actual damages. To the maximum extent practicable, an
arbitration proceeding under this agreement will be concluded within 180
days of
the filing of the dispute with the AAA.
This
arbitration clause will survive any termination or expiration of this agreement
and if any term, covenant, condition or provision of this arbitration clause
is
found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of
the
arbitration clause will not be affected thereby and will remain fully
enforceable.

we
confirm that:

certificates, we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in the
class
B-[4][5][6] certificates and we are an accredited investor as defined in
Regulation D under the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience
in
financial and business matters, specifically in the field of mortgage related
securities, as to be able to evaluate the risk of purchasing a certificate
which
is subordinate in right of payment, and we have direct, personal and significant
experience in making investments in mortgage related securities. If we
are
non-institutional investors, our net worth (exclusive of our primary residence)
is at least $1,000,000.

a view
to any distribution of the class B-[4][5][6] certificates, subject,
nevertheless, to the understanding that disposition of our property shall
at all
times be and remain within our control.
4.
We
agree that our class B-[4][5][6] certificates must be held indefinitely

as the
representations set forth herein; "Eligible Dealer" means any corporation

We
understand that each of the class B-[4][5][6] certificates will bear a

or if

or
proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Trust or (B) any involuntary

(i) Transfer.
Section
7 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Except
as
stated under Section 6(b)(ii), in this Section 7, and Part 5(h) of the
Schedule,
and except for the assignment by way of security in favor of the Party
B under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, neither Party A nor Party B is permitted
to
assign, novate or transfer (whether by way of security or otherwise) as
a whole
or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests under this Agreement
or
any Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party;
provided,
however,
that
(i) Party A may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer
of
substantially all of its assets to, another entity, or an incorporation,
reincorporation or reconstitution, and (ii) with the written consent of
Party B,
Party A may transfer this Agreement to any Person, including, without
limitation, another of Party A’s offices, branches or affiliates (any such
Person, office, branch or affiliate, a "Transferee"); provided
that,
with respect to clause (ii), (A) as of the date of such transfer the Transferee
will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of a Tax from any
payments
under this Agreement unless the Transferee will be required to make payments
of
additional amounts pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of this Agreement in
respect
of such Tax (B) a Termination Event or Event of Default does not occur
under
this Agreement as a result of such transfer; (C) such notice is accompanied
by a
written instrument pursuant to which the Transferee acquires and assumes
the
rights and obligations of Party A so transferred; and (D) Party A will
be
responsible for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with such
transfer.
Party B will execute such documentation as is reasonably deemed necessary
by
Party A for the effectuation of any such transfer.
Except
as
specified otherwise in the documentation evidencing a transfer, a transfer
of
all the obligations of Party A made in compliance with this Section 7 will
constitute an acceptance and assumption of such obligations (and any related
interests so transferred) by the Transferee, a novation of the transferee
in
place of Party A with respect to such obligations (and any related interests
so
transferred), and a release and discharge by Party B of Party A from, and
an
agreement by Party B not to make any claim for payment, liability, or otherwise
against Party A with respect to, such obligations from and after the effective
date of the transfer.
In
addition, Party A may transfer this Agreement without the prior consent
of the
Trustee, on behalf of Party B, to an affiliate that satisfies the Counterparty
Rating Requirement or that has furnished a guarantee of the obligations
under
this Agreement from a guarantor that that satisfies the Counterparty Rating
Requirement.
(j) Notice
of Certain Events or Circumstances.
Each
party agrees, upon learning of the occurrence or existence of any event
or
condition that constitutes (or that with the giving of notice or passage
of time
or both would constitute) an Event of Default or Termination Event with
respect
to such party, promptly to give the other party notice of such event or
condition (or, in lieu of giving notice of such event or condition in the
case
of an event or condition that with the giving of notice or passage of time
or
both would constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect
to
the party, to cause such event or condition to cease to exist before becoming
an
Event of Default or Termination Event); provided
that
failure to provide notice of such event or condition pursuant to this Part
5(j)
shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Termination Event.
(k) Regarding
Party A. Party
B
acknowledges and agrees that Party A has had and will have no involvement
in
and, accordingly Party A accepts no responsibility for: (i) the establishment,
structure, or choice of assets of the Trust; (ii) the selection of any

operations and administration of the Trust, including the furnishing of
any
information to Party B which is not specifically required under this Agreement;
or (vii) any other aspect of the Trust’s existence.

party represents to the other party on and as of the date hereof and on
