Citicorp
Mortgage Securities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CMSI”), proposes to sell to
you, as senior underwriter (the “Senior Underwriter”), the offered class A
(other than class A-PO) REMIC Pass-Through Certificates (the “offered senior
certificates”) described in Schedule I. The offered senior 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 senior 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 Senior 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 Senior
Underwriter, and the Senior Underwriter agrees to purchase from CMSI, all
of the
offered senior 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 senior
certificates to the Senior Underwriter’s account at the office, on the date and
at the time (the “closing date”) specified in Schedule I against payment by the
Senior 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 senior 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 senior certificates will be represented
by
book entries on the records of DTC and its participants. Definitive Certificates
representing the offered senior certificates
will be available as set forth in Schedule I.
CMSI
will
have the offered senior certificates available for inspection by the Senior
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 Senior 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 Senior Underwriter
that
CMSI is not an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act, at the date specified in paragraph 3.ii of such definition.
Such
registration statement, as revised, amended or supplemented, including
by the filing of the Prospectus (as defined below), will at the relevant
date be
the “Registration Statement” at that date. As used in this Agreement, the
Registration Statement will include, at the date of their filing, any documents
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
that are incorporated by reference into the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities
Act,
and the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus will refer to and include the filing
of
any document under the Exchange Act so incorporated by reference.
(b) The
Senior Underwriter will advise CMSI of the final structure of the offered
senior
certificates sufficiently in advance of the closing date so that CMSI can
prepare a final prospectus relating to the offered senior certificates (the
“Prospectus”) for delivery to the Senior Underwriter no later than the closing
date. CMSI will use its best efforts to deliver the Prospectus to the Senior
Underwriter as soon as reasonably practicable following the Senior Underwriter’s
advice of the final structure of the offered senior certificates. CMSI will
file
the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to and in
2
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 senior certificates
(the
“offering”), promptly advise the Senior Underwriter
|
(i)
|
when
any amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the offered
senior
certificates has become effective or any revision of or supplement
to the
Prospectus has been filed,
|
|
(ii)
|
of
any request by the Commission for an amendment of the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information,

the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution
or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and
|
|
(iv)
|
of
the receipt by CMSI of any notification with respect to the suspension
of
the qualification of the offered senior certificates for sale in
any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such
purpose.
|
CMSI
will
use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and,
if
issued, to obtain its withdrawal as soon as possible. CMSI will not file
prior
to the termination of the offering any amendment to the Registration Statement
relating to the offered senior certificates, or any revision of or supplement
to
the Prospectus, unless a copy has been furnished
to the Senior Underwriter for its review prior to filing.
(c) CMSI
represents and warrants to the Senior 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,

|
(i)
|
will
conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities
Act
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission,
|
|
(ii)

the
Registration Statement will not include an untrue statement of
a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and
|
|
(iii)
|
the
Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not
misleading, except
that CMSI makes no representation or warranty concerning the statements
in
Schedule I under the heading “Senior Underwriter’s Statements to be
Included in the Prospectus” furnished to CMSI by or on behalf of the
Senior Underwriter specifically for use in connection with the
preparation
of the Prospectus (the “Senior Underwriter supplied Prospectus

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

Regulation AB, not deemed to be part of the Prospectus or the Registration
Statement.
In
this
agreement, “time of sale” means the time of sale (as such term is used in Rule
159 under the Securities Act) of offered senior certificates by the Senior
Underwriter to an investor.
(d) The
Senior Underwriter represents and warrants to CMSI that the Senior Underwriter
supplied Prospectus information does not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading when considered in conjunction with the rest of the Prospectus.
CMSI
acknowledges that the Senior Underwriter supplied Prospectus information
comprises the only written information furnished by or on behalf of the Senior
Underwriter for inclusion in the Prospectus.
(e) If,
at
any time when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act,
|
(i)
|
an
event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus at such time would
include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or
|
|
(ii)
|
the
Prospectus must be revised, amended or supplemented to comply with
the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder,
|
CMSI
will
promptly prepare and file with the Commission a revision, amendment or
supplement that corrects such statement or omission or effects such
compliance.
CMSI will consult with the Senior Underwriter, to the extent reasonably
practicable, on the preparation of such revision, amendment or
supplement.
(f) CMSI
will
furnish to the Senior Underwriter and its counsel, without charge, so long
as
delivery of the Prospectus is required under the Securities Act, as many
copies
of the Prospectus and any revisions or amendments thereof or supplements
thereto
as reasonably requested.
(g) If
the
third anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs
within three months after the closing date, CMSI will take action as
necessary
to
permit the public offering and sale of the offered senior certificates as
contemplated by this Agreement.

CMSI will promptly deliver to the Senior Underwriter electronically in Portable

misstatements, or omissions to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were

the
CMSI free writing prospectus at any time will refer to the CMSI free writing
prospectus most recently delivered to the Senior Underwriter (including by

on
the unsupplemented or uncorrected loan tape), will not contain
any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which
they were made, not misleading , except

law
regarding limits on redisclosure and reuse of such information.

Act, retain all free writing prospectuses that it has used in the offering

of the Registration Statement at its effective date and the closing date,
and
the Prospectus at its date and the closing date (in each case, with the
exception of any information incorporated by reference therein and any
numerical, financial, statistical or quantitative data) appeared on its face
to
conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act
and
the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.
(C)
The
descriptions in the Prospectus and the Pooling Agreement at the closing date
of
the offered senior certificates, and of the aspects of certain statutes as
set
forth in the Prospectus under the heading “Core prospectus—ERISA considerations”
and “Prospectus supplement—Additional ERISA considerations,” are, to the extent
that they
12
constitute
statements of matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, accurate
in all material respects; and
|
(x)
|
Such
other opinions with regard to secured transactions, bankruptcy,
insolvency
and related matters as the Senior
Underwriter reasonably requests.
|
Such
opinion may express its reliance (1) as to factual matters on the
representations
and warranties made by, and on certificates or other documents furnished
by
officers of, the parties to this Agreement and the Pooling Agreement,
(2) as to legal matters relating to the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, on an opinion, dated the closing date, of counsel acceptable
to the
Senior Underwriter, and (3) as to legal matters relating to secured
transactions, bankruptcy, insolvency and related matters, on an opinion,
dated
the closing date, of Cadwalader, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP,
special
bankruptcy counsel to CMSI. Such opinion may assume the due authorization,
execution and delivery of the instruments and documents referred to therein
by
the parties thereto other than CMSI, CMI, Citibank, N.A., Citigroup Inc.
and the
originators. Such opinion may be qualified as an opinion only on the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the laws of each state in which
the
writer of the opinion is admitted to practice law, and the federal law of
the
United States.
(d) CMSI
has
delivered to the Senior Underwriter a letter, dated the closing date, of
the
General Counsel, Finance and Capital Markets of Citigroup Inc., to the effect
that in the course of such counsel’s review of the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus and discussion of the same with certain officers of CMSI and
the
originators and their auditors, no facts came to the attention
of
such counsel that led such counsel to believe that
|
(i)
|
the
Registration Statement as of its effective date or the closing
date
included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the
statements therein not misleading, or
|
|
(ii)
|
the
Prospectus as of its date or the closing date, included an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading,
|
it
being
understood that such counsel need express no view as to any information
incorporated by reference or any financial, numerical, statistical or
quantitative data in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.
(e) CMSI
has
delivered to the Senior Underwriter an opinion, dated the closing date, of
Cadwalader, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP,
special
tax counsel to CMSI, to the effect that the statements in the Prospectus
under
the headings “Core prospectus-Taxation of certificate holders,” “Core
prospectus—Taxation of the Trust,” and “Prospectus supplement—Federal income tax
consequences,” to the extent such statements
13
summarize
material tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition
of the offered senior certificates to the holders thereof described therein,
are
correct in all material respects.
(f) The
Senior Underwriter have received from Cadwalader, Xxxxxxxxxx &
Xxxx LLP,
counsel
for the Senior Underwriter, such opinion or opinions, dated the closing date,
with respect to the issuance and sale of the offered senior certificates,
the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and such other related matters
as the
Senior Underwriter may reasonably request.
(g) KPMP
LLP
have furnished to the Senior Underwriter a letter, dated the closing date,
in
form and substance satisfactory to the Senior Underwriter, stating in effect
that they have performed certain specified procedures, agreed upon between
KPMG
LLP, CMSI and the Senior Underwriter, as a result of which they have determined
that the information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature with
respect to “static pool information” contained on CMSI’s website at
xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx relating to REMIC pass-through certificates issued
after
January 1, 2006 and included in the Prospectus under Rule 312 of the
Commission’s Regulation S-T, agrees with the accounting records of the
originators, excluding any questions of legal interpretation
(h) KPMG
LLP
have furnished to the Senior Underwriter a letter, dated the closing date,
in
form and substance satisfactory to the Senior Underwriter, stating in effect
that:
|
(i)
|
They
have performed certain specified procedures, agreed upon between
KPMG LLP
CMSI and the Senior
Underwriter, as a result of which they have determined that the
information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature (which
is
limited to accounting, financial or statistical information derived
from
the general accounting records of the originators and which is
obtained
from an analysis of a sample of the mortgage loans) set forth in
the
Prospectus under the caption “Prospectus supplement—Summary—Series
overview—the mortgage loans at April 1, 2007 (the cut-off date)” and in
the detailed description relating to such prospectus supplement
and the
mortgage loans agrees with the accounting records of the originators,
excluding any questions of legal interpretation.
|
|
(ii)
|
They
have compared the data contained in a data sheet or computer tape
prepared
by CMI for the mortgage loans to information contained in the mortgage
loan files furnished by the originators and in such other sources
as will
be specified by them, based on an appropriate sampling thereof,
and found
such data and information to be in agreement, unless otherwise
noted in
such letter.
|
14
(i) If
there
is more than one class of offered senior certificates, KPMG LLP have furnished
to the Senior Underwriter a letter, dated the date of the Prospectus, in
form
and substance satisfactory to the Senior Underwriter, stating in effect
that:
|
(i)
|
Using
the assumptions and methodology used by CMSI (which include and
do not
conflict with any assumptions and methodology set forth in the
Prospectus), all of which will be described by reference in such
letter,
they have recalculated the percentages and weighted average lives
set
forth in the Prospectus in the tables relating to the “Prospectus
supplement—Principal balance as percent of initial principal balance” for
each class of offered senior 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 senior certificates on the following
distribution day, as recalculated by
them.
|
|
(iii)
|
Using
the assumptions and methodology prescribed in the Pooling Agreement
and
the Prospectus, they have recomputed the last distribution day
for each
class of offered senior certificates and found such dates to be
in
agreement with those set forth in the Prospectus.
|
|
(iv)
|
If
one or more classes of offered senior certificates will be entitled
to
receive distributions in respect of interest at other than a fixed
rate or
distributions in reduction of principal balance according to a
schedule of
planned or targeted balances, or have other characteristics which
give
rise to the use of tables in the Prospectus reflecting yield or
cash flow,
such letters will also set forth such other statements as are customarily
set forth by KPMG LLP in such letters with respect to such
classes.
|
(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 Senior Underwriter concludes, after consultation with CMSI,
in
the judgment of the Senior Underwriter, materially impairs the investment
quality of the offered senior certificates so as to make it impractical or
inadvisable to
15
proceed
with the public offering or the delivery of the offered senior certificates
as
contemplated by the Prospectus.
(k) The
offered senior 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 Senior Underwriter such further information, certificates
and
documents as the Senior 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 Senior
Underwriter and its counsel, this Agreement and all obligations of the Senior
Underwriter hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the closing
date by the Senior 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 senior certificates will
be
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions that
(a) on
the
closing date the
class
A-PO, X-0, X-0 and B-3 certificates (as described in the Prospectus) have
been
issued and sold under the Subordinated Underwriting Agreement dated April
19,
2007 among CMSI, Citigroup Inc. and Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., and
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
Senior Underwriter has advised CMSI of the final structure of the offered
senior
certificates sufficiently in advance of the closing date so as to enable
CMSI to
prepare the Prospectus for delivery to the Senior 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 Senior Underwriter’s having to reform a
contract for the sale of securities to an investor) or liabilities,
joint
or several, (or actions in respect thereof) under the Securities
Act, the
Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation,
at
common law or otherwise, and
|
16
|
(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 Senior 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 Senior Underwriter
in section 3(a), 3(c) or 4(b).
(c) The
Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior 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
|
17
|
(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 Senior Underwriter will contribute to the aggregate
claims
to which CMSI and the Senior Underwriter may be subject in an appropriate
proportion to reflect both the relative benefits received
by and the relative fault of CMSI and the Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior Underwriter will not be required
to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at
which
the offered senior certificates were offered to the public exceeds the amount
of
any damages that the Senior Underwriter has
18
otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or
omission or alleged omission.
11. Termination
This
Agreement will be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the
Senior Underwriter, by notice given to CMSI prior to delivery of and payment
for
the offered senior 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 Senior Underwriter
after consultation with CMSI, impracticable to market the offered senior
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
Senior 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 Senior 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 senior 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 Senior
Underwriter’s purchase of the offered senior certificates from CMSI, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Senior Underwriter, and each person who controls
the Senior Underwriter against any failure by CMSI to perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement, including any obligation of CMSI to the
Senior
Underwriter pursuant to sections 6 and 10 hereof, after receipt from the
Senior
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.
19
15. Applicable
law
This
Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of New York.
16. Miscellaneous
This
Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings
relating to its subject matter. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof
may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a writing signed by
the
party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought.
17. Notices
All
communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only upon receipt
and,
if sent to the Senior Underwriter, will be delivered to the Senior Underwriter’s
