Ladies and Gentlemen:

Citicorp Mortgage Securities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CMSI”), proposes to sell to you, as underwriter (the “Underwriter”), the offered class A and class B REMIC Pass-Through Certificates (the “offered certificates”) described in Schedule I. The offered certificates evidence ownership interests in a trust (the “Trust”) consisting of the mortgage loans described in Schedule I (the “mortgage loans”) and related property. The mortgage loans were originated or acquired by the affiliates of CMSI identified in Schedule I (the “originators”), and will have, at the close of business on the “cut-off date” specified in Schedule I, the aggregate principal balance set forth in Schedule I. CMSI will elect to treat the Trust, or one or more segregated pools of assets within the Trust, as one or more real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a “REMIC”) for purposes of federal income taxation. The offered certificates are to be issued under a pooling and servicing agreement (the “Pooling Agreement”), dated as of the cut-off date, between CMSI, as Depositor, CitiMortgage, Inc. (“CMI”), as Servicer and Master Servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, in its individual capacity and as Trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Citibank, N.A., in its individual capacity and as Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Authentication Agent.

CMSI, Citigroup Inc., and the Underwriter agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale

Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made in, this Agreement, CMSI agrees to sell to the Underwriter, and the Underwriter agrees to purchase from CMSI, all of the offered certificates at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I.

2. Delivery and Payment

CMSI will deliver one or more certificates representing each class of offered certificates to the Underwriter’s account at the office, on the date and at the time (the

1

“closing date”) specified in Schedule I against payment by the Underwriter of the purchase price to or upon the order of CMSI in the manner provided in Schedule I. Unless otherwise specified in Schedule I, the offered certificates will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and the interests of beneficial owners of such offered certificates will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and its participants. Definitive Certificates representing the offered Certificates will be available as set forth in Schedule I.

CMSI will have the offered certificates available for inspection by the Underwriter in New York, New York, one business day prior to the closing date.

3. Registration Statement and Prospectus

(a) CMSI represents and warrants to the Underwriter that CMSI has filed a registration statement (File No. 333-130333), including a prospectus, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on Form S-3 that is effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated by the Commission. CMSI further represents and warrants to the Underwriter that CMSI is not an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, at the date specified in paragraph 3.ii of such definition.

(b) The Underwriter will advise CMSI of the final structure of the offered certificates sufficiently in advance of the closing date so that CMSI can prepare a final prospectus relating to the offered certificates (the “Prospectus”) for delivery to the Underwriter no later than the closing date. CMSI will use its best efforts to deliver the Prospectus to the Underwriter as soon as reasonably practicable following the Underwriter’s advice of the final structure of the offered certificates. CMSI will file the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to and in conformity with Rule 424 under the Securities Act. References to the Prospectus at any time will refer to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such time. CMSI will, prior to the termination of the offering of the offered certificates (the “offering”), promptly advise the Underwriter

CMSI will not file prior to the termination of the offering any amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the offered certificates, or any revision of or supplement to the Prospectus, unless a copy has been furnished to the Underwriter for its review prior to filing.

(c) CMSI represents and warrants to the Underwriter that the Registration Statement on each of the date of this Agreement, the closing date, and each time of sale (as defined below), and the Prospectus as of its date, the closing date, and each time of sale following the date of the Prospectus

For purposes of clause (ii) of this section 3(c), the Prospectus will include static pool information on a website for which a URL address or hyperlink was provided in the Prospectus but which information is, pursuant to Item 1105(d) of Regulation AB, not deemed to be part of the Prospectus or the Registration Statement.

References to the CMSI free writing prospectus at any time will refer to the CMSI free writing prospectus most recently delivered to the Underwriter (including by correction of static pool information on a website referred to in the CMSI free writing prospectus) sufficiently prior to such time as to reasonably permit the Underwriter to deliver the CMSI free writing prospectus to the relevant investor.

(i) The Underwriter will promptly provide CMSI with any information within the Underwriter’s reasonable control that CMSI reasonably requests to enable CMSI to meet its disclosure and reporting obligations under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in connection with the offered certificates.

(i) Using the assumptions and methodology used by CMSI (which include and do not conflict with any assumptions and methodology set forth in the Prospectus), all of which will be described by reference in such letter, they have recalculated the percentages and weighted average lives set forth in the Prospectus in the tables relating to the “Prospectus supplement—Principal balance as percent of initial principal balance” for each class of offered certificates at certain percentages of the prepayment model to be set forth in the Prospectus, compared the results of their calculations to the corresponding items in the respective table and found each such percentage and weighted average life set forth in each such table to be in agreement with the respective results of such calculations.

(ii) Using the assumptions and methodology prescribed in the Prospectus, they have recalculated, for each distribution day (as defined in the Prospectus), the aggregate of the amount of cash to be on deposit in the Trust on the determination day immediately preceding such distribution day and found that such aggregate amount equals or exceeds the aggregate amount of interest and distributions in reduction of principal balance that is distributable on the offered certificates on the following distribution day, as recalculated by them.

such table and found each such percentage set forth in such table to be in agreement with the results of such calculations.

(j) Subsequent to the date hereof, there will not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business or properties of CMSI which the Underwriter concludes, after consultation with CMSI, in the judgment of the Underwriter, materially impairs the investment quality of the offered certificates so as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the offered certificates as contemplated by the Prospectus.

(k) The offered certificates have been rated at least the rating or ratings specified in Schedule I by the rating agency or agencies specified in Schedule I and such ratings will not have been rescinded or placed under review.

(l) CMSI have furnished to the Underwriter such further information, certificates and documents as the Underwriter may reasonably have requested not less than three full business days prior to the closing date.

If any of the conditions specified in this section 8 are not fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement are not in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriter and its counsel, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriter hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the closing date by the Underwriter. Notice of such cancellation will be given to CMSI in writing, or by telephone or telegraph confirmed in writing.

9. Condition to the Obligation of CMSI

The obligation of CMSI to issue and sell the offered certificates will be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions that

(a) on the closing date the class X-0, X-0 and B-6 certificates (as described in the Prospectus) have been issued and sold under the Purchase Agreement dated the date of this Agreement among CMSI, Citigroup Inc. and the purchaser thereof; and

(b) the Underwriter has advised CMSI of the final structure of the offered certificates sufficiently in advance of the closing date so as to enable CMSI to prepare the Prospectus for delivery to the Underwriter by the closing date.

10. Indemnification and Contribution

(a) In this section 10,

(i) “claims” includes losses, claims, damages, expenses (including legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating or defending the claims, and damages resulting from the Underwriter’s having to reform a contract for the sale of securities to an investor) or liabilities, joint or several, (or actions in respect thereof) under the Securities Act,

15

the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, and

(ii) a “controlling person” of a party is a person that controls the party within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and in the case of CMSI includes any person who signed the Registration Statement.

(b) CMSI will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and each of its controlling persons against any claims to which any of them becomes subject, to the extent such claims arise out of or are based upon a breach of any representation or warranty given by CMSI to the Underwriter in section 3(a), 3(c) or 4(b).

(c) The Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless CMSI and each of its controlling persons against any claims to which any of them becomes subject, to the extent such claims are based upon breach of any express representation or warranty given by the Underwriter to CMSI in section 3(d) or 4(d).

(d) The indemnities in sections 10(b) and 10(c) will be in addition to any liability that CMSI or the Underwriter may otherwise have.

(e) If a person entitled to indemnification under this section 10 is notified of any action or threatened action involving a claim for which the person may be entitled to seek indemnification or reimbursement under this section 10, the person must promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the action. However, such person’s failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability to such person (i) under this section 10 except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure, or (ii) otherwise than under this section 10.

The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in any such action, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified person promptly after being notified by the indemnified person of the action, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified person. However, if the defendants in any such action include both indemnified persons and the indemnifying party, and an indemnified person reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified persons that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified person or persons may select a single separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of the action on behalf of such indemnified person or persons.

Upon the indemnifying party’s so assuming the defense of the action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, except

(i) for the expenses of a single separate counsel to represent indemnified persons in accordance with the last sentence in the preceding paragraph, or

16

(ii) where the indemnifying party does not employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified person within a reasonable time after the indemnified person notifies the indemnifying party of the action.

The indemnifying party will not be liable for a settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party will indemnify the indemnified person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party will settle any pending or threatened proceeding without the prior written consent of each person who could seek indemnity under this section 10 with respect to such proceeding, unless such settlement

(i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such person, and

(ii) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(f) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this section 10 is due in accordance with its terms but is legally unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified person, CMSI and the Underwriter will contribute to the aggregate claims to which CMSI and the Underwriter may be subject in an appropriate proportion to reflect both the relative benefits received by and the relative fault of CMSI and the Underwriter, except that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. The relative benefits received by CMSI and the Underwriter will be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds received by CMSI bears to the total underwriting discount and commission received by the Underwriter. Relative fault will be determined by reference to whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, or such inaccurate or untrue statement or representation, relates to information supplied by CMSI or the Underwriter, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or representation. For purposes of this section 10, each controlling person will have the same rights to contribution as the related party. Any person entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such person for which a claim for contribution may be made against a party under this section (f), notify the party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party will not relieve such party from any other obligation it may have under this section (f) or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriter will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the offered certificates were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

17

11. Termination

This Agreement will be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriter, by notice given to CMSI prior to delivery of and payment for the offered certificates, if prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York is declared by either federal or New York State authorities, or (iii) there is a material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States makes it, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter after consultation with CMSI, impracticable to market the offered certificates.

12. Representations and indemnities to survive

The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of CMSI and Citigroup Inc. and their respective officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, CMSI or Citigroup Inc. or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in section 10 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the offered certificates. The provisions of sections 10 and 13 hereof will survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

13. Obligation of Citigroup Inc.

Citigroup Inc. agrees, in consideration of and as an inducement to the Underwriter’s purchase of the offered certificates from CMSI, to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, and each person who controls the Underwriter against any failure by CMSI to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, including any obligation of CMSI to the Underwriter pursuant to sections 6 and 10 hereof, after receipt from the Underwriter of written notice of any such failure.

14. Successors

This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in section 10 hereof and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

15. Applicable law

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

18

16. Miscellaneous

This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings relating to its subject matter. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

17. Notices

All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only upon receipt and, if sent to the Underwriter, will be delivered to the Underwriter’s address first stated in this Agreement (with a copy to its General Counsel’s Office), or if sent to CMSI, will be delivered to Citicorp Mortgage Securities, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, X’Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Xxxxxx X.

Citicorp Mortgage Securities Trust, Series 2007-2

REMIC Pass-Through Certificates

Description of mortgage loans: For each pool of mortgage loans, the description under COLLATERAL INFORMATION on the Trade Ticket that is attached as Attachment A hereto. Any reference in the Trade Ticket to 15 YR REG N/C means 10- to 15- year fixed-rate conventional one- to four-family mortgage loans, any reference to 15 YR NC ALT-A means 10- to 15- year fixed-rate Alt-A one- to four-family mortgage loans, any reference to 30 YR REG N/C means 20- to 30- year fixed-rate conventional one- to four-family mortgage loans, any reference to 30 YR RELO N/C means 20- to 30- year fixed-rate conventional one- to four-family mortgage loans that are originated through corporate relocation programs, any reference to 30 YR REG N/C IO means 20- to 30- year fixed-rate conventional one- to four-family mortgage loans that have an interest-only period of ten years following origination, any reference to 30 YR NC ALT-A means 20- to 30- year fixed-rate Alt-A one- to four-family mortgage loans, and any reference to 30 YR NC ALT-A IO means 20- to 30- year fixed-rate Alt-A one- to four-family mortgage loans that have an interest-only period of ten years following origination. The aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans in each pool is shown on the Trade Ticket under Trade Amount, and is subject to an upward or downward variance by closing of up to 5%. The weighted average per annum interest rate of the mortgage loans in each pool as of the cut-off date is expected to be the percentage shown for the pool under WAC—Final Pool on the Trade Ticket, plus or minus the basis points per annum shown on the Trade Ticket. The weighted average remaining term to stated maturity of the mortgage loans in each pool as of the cut-off date is expected to be the number of months for the pool shown under WAM—Final Pool on the Trade Ticket, plus or minus the number of months shown on the Trade Ticket, except that the number of months can not exceed 180 for a pool of 15 YR REG N/C and 15 YR NC ALT-A mortgage loans or 360 for a pool of 30 YR REG N/C, 30 YR RELO N/C, 30 YR REG N/C IO or 30 YR NC ALT-A mortgage loans.

I-1

Offered certificates: Senior class A (NON-PO) and, if shown on a Trade Ticket, class A-PO and/or class A-IO certificates (the “offered class A certificates”) and subordinated class X-0, X-0 and B-3 certificates (the “offered class B certificates”).

If there is only a single pool of mortgage loans, each class of offered certificates has a principal balance equal to the percentage for the class specified under SIZE in the Trade Ticket of the Trade Amount specified in the Trade Ticket.

If there is more than one pool of mortgage loans:

(a) The offered class A certificates (other than any offered class A-IO certificates) in each “group” (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) have a principal balance equal to the percentage for the class specified under SIZE for the related pool of the related Trade Amount specified in the Trade Ticket, and

(b) Each class of offered class B certificates has a principal balance equal to the aggregate of the principal balance of its component classes. The principal balance of a component class of a class of certificates equals the percentage for such class specified under SIZE of the Trade Amount, as such SIZE and Trade Amount are specified for the pool related to the group for the component class on the Trade Ticket.

The principal balance of each class of certificates is subject to upward or downward variance at closing of up to 5%.

The offered class A certificates may include one or more classes of class A certificates with the prior consent of an authorized officer of CMSI, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld. Additionally, class A-PO and A-IO certificates may be composite classes of certificates formed from ratio-stripped PO and IO component classes, respectively, from different pools.

Purchase price: If there is a single pool of mortgage loans, the sum of (a), (b) and (c):

(a) The aggregate of the prices of each class of offered certificates. The price of a class of certificates is calculated by multiplying the principal balance (or for any ratio-stripped IO class, notional balance) of the class at closing by the PRICE INFORMATION percentage for the class shown on the Trade Ticket.

I-2

(b) Accrued interest on the aggregate principal balance (or, for any ratio-stripped IO class, notional balance) at closing of each class of offered certificates from (and including) the ISSUE DATE shown on the Trade Ticket to (but excluding) the SETTLEMENT DATE shown on the Trade Ticket at a rate per annum equal to the target rate stated in the Pooling Agreement.

(c) $75,000.00.

If there is more than one pool of mortgage loans, the sum of (d), (e) and (f):

(d) The aggregate, for each pool, of the prices of each class (or component class) of offered certificates listed on the Trade Ticket, calculated by multiplying the principal balance (or for any ratio-stripped IO class, notional balance) at closing of each class (or component class) of offered certificates in the group related to the pool (other than any composite classes) by the PRICE INFORMATION percentage for the class (or component class) shown for such pool on the Trade Ticket.

(e) accrued interest on the aggregate principal balance (or, for any ratio-stripped IO certificates, notional balance) at closing of the offered certificates (other than any composite classes or ratio-stripped PO classes of certificates) from (and including) the ISSUE DATE shown on the Trade Ticket to (but excluding) the SETTLEMENT DATE shown on the Trade Ticket at a rate per annum equal to the target rate for the pool stated in the Pooling Agreement.

In connection with the purchase and sale of the offered certificates, the underwriter may be deemed to have received compensation from CMSI in the form of underwriting discounts.

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered certificates at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such stabilizing, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
