This Standard Terms Document as incorporated in a Pooling Agreement
shall apply to the series of pass-through certificates established thereby to
the extent provided therein. Hereinafter, references to the "Pooling Agreement"
and the pass-through certificates executed and delivered thereunder and to terms

made to an amount the determination or calculation of which is governed by

In addition, CMSI, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and in connection with such transfer and assignment of Mortgage Loans
shall deposit in the Certificate Account the amount of all payments received by
CMSI after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Issue Date with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, to the extent such payments are being transferred and assigned
to the Trustee hereunder, except any portion of such payments on Mortgage Loans
(including servicing fees with respect thereto) of a type not required to be
deposited therein as specified in Article XI or Article XII.
(c) In instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be
delivered by CMSI to the Trustee prior to or concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, due to a delay in connection with the recording of
such Mortgage, CMSI may, (a) in lieu of delivering such original recorded
Mortgage referred to in clause (a)(ii) or (b)(ii) above, deliver to the Trustee
a copy thereof, 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 (b) in lieu of delivering
the completed assignment in recordable form referred to in clause (a)(iv) or
(b)(ii) and (b)(ix) above to the Trustee, deliver such 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 Trustee promptly upon receipt of such Mortgage. In instances where an
original recorded Mortgage has been lost or misplaced, CMSI or the related title
insurance company may deliver, in lieu of such Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage
bearing recordation information and certified as true and correct by the office
in which recordation thereof was made. In
38
instances where the original or a copy of the title insurance policy referred to
in clause (a)(v) above (which may be a certificate relating to a master policy
of title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage
Loan cannot be delivered by CMSI to the Trustee prior to or concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement because such policy is not yet
available, CMSI may, in lieu of delivering the original or a copy of such title
insurance referred to in clause (a)(v) above, deliver to the Trustee a binder
with respect to such policy (which may be a certificate relating to a master
policy of title insurance) and deliver the original or a copy of such policy
(which may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) to
the Trustee when available, in instances where an original assumption,
modification, buydown or conversion-to-fixed-interest-rate agreement cannot be
delivered by CMSI to the Trustee prior to or concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, CMSI may, in lieu of delivering the original of such
agreement referred to in clause (a)(iii) or (b)(iii) above, 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 agrees, at its own expense, to prepare each assignment referred to
in clause (a)(iv) or (b)(vi) and (b)(ix) above. CMSI shall prepare and deliver a
copy of each such assignment to the Trustee as soon as practicable but not later
than 60 days after the date of initial issuance of the CitiCertificates. In the
case of each Mortgage relating to a Mortgaged Property located in the State of
Maryland, CMSI intends to effect recordation of each such assignment (or to
supply the Trustee with evidence of recordation) as soon as practicable after
the date of initial issuance of the CitiCertificates in the appropriate public
office for real property records. Except as provided in this paragraph, neither
CMSI nor any Originator or Affiliate of any Originator shall have any obligation
to record any assignment of any Mortgage in order to name the Trustee as
mortgagee of record. The preceding sentence shall not be in derogation of the
obligation of CMSI, the Originators and Affiliates of the Originators to record
(and supply the Trustee 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 agrees, at its own expense, to record any UCC-3 financing
statements not previously recorded (and to supply the Trustee with evidence of
such recordation). CMSI intends to effect such recordation as soon as
practicable after the date of initial issuance of the CitiCertificates in the
appropriate public office.
In the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the
Cut-Off Date and prior to the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement,
CMSI, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee, herewith
delivers to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer as set forth in
Section 3.22.
In connection with such transfer and delivery of the balance of the
Trust Fund, CMSI, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, shall deposit into the Certificate Account cash in the amount (if
any) specified in Article XII.
Wherever it is provided in this Section 2.01(c) that any document,
evidence or information relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to
the Trustee, CMSI shall do so by delivery thereof to the Mortgage Document
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee, by execution and
delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt, subject to the review described in the
succeeding sentence, of the documents and other property referred to in Section
2.01 and declares that the Trustee holds and 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
Certificateholders. The Mortgage Document Custodian on behalf of the Trustee
shall, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each
Mortgage File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, 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 Exhibits B-1 and B-2 hereto. If in the course of such review the Mortgage
Document Custodian
39
finds a document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be
defective in any material respect, the Mortgage Document Custodian shall
promptly so notify the Trustee and CMSI, whereupon CMSI shall have a period of
180 days within which to correct or cure any such defect (including correction
or cure by substitution of Mortgage Loans to the extent permitted by Section
2.04). If any such material defect has not been corrected or cured, CMSI will,
not later than 180 days after the Mortgage Document Custodian's notice
respecting such defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at
a price equal to (i) 100% of the Adjusted Balance on such Mortgage Loan, after
taking into account any principal payable thereon on the Due Date in the month
of repurchase, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Mortgage
Note Rate less in the case of a Third Party Mortgage Loan, the applicable
Expense Rate, to the first day of the month in which proceeds of such repurchase
are distributed to the Certificateholders, plus (iii) any unreimbursed payments
with respect to such Mortgage Loan, to the extent not covered in (ii) above, as
part of a Voluntary Advance, a Trustee Advance or an Advance Account Advance
whereupon all Voluntary Advances, Trustee Advances and Advance Account Advances
will be reimbursed to the Trustee or deemed reimbursed to CMSI, as the case may
be, with respect to such Mortgage Loan by such respective amounts.
Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, any material defect that causes a
Mortgage Loan to fail to constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
Code Section 860G(a)(3) shall either be corrected or cured by CMSI or, failing
such correction or cure, CMSI shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the price
described in the preceding sentence (or, if within two years of the Startup Day,
or such other period as may be permitted by the REMIC Provisions, substitute an
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan therefor pursuant to Section 2.04) no later
than 90 days after the discovery of such material defect. Any such repurchase
shall be considered a prepayment in full of such Mortgage Loan on such Due Date
and shall be deposited (net of reimbursed Voluntary Advances, Trustee Advances
and Advance Account Advances) by CMSI in the Certificate Account and, upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by an
Authorized Officer of CMSI, the Trustee shall direct the Mortgage Document
Custodian to release to CMSI the related Mortgage File and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to the Trustee, in
each case without recourse, as CMSI shall reasonably request, to vest in CMSI
any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. Any repurchase by CMSI of a Mortgage
Loan hereunder shall be deemed to include the right to receive any Remittance
thereon payable after the month of repurchase, and the Trustee shall, upon
receipt of any such Remittance, promptly remit the amount of such Remittance to
CMSI. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of CMSI to repurchase any
Mortgage Loan or make a substitution therefor pursuant to Section 2.04 as to
which a material defect in a constituent document exists shall constitute the
sole remedy against CMSI with respect to such defect available to the
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or
at any time thereafter, enter into a Mortgage Document Custodial Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which the Trustee
appoints a Mortgage Document Custodian to hold the Mortgage Documents in trust
for the Trustee and the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future
Certificateholders, which may provide that the Mortgage Document Custodian shall
conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under the first paragraph of
this Section 2.02, provided that, if the Mortgage Document Custodian so
appointed is CMSI or an Affiliate of CMSI, the Trustee shall conduct such
review.
Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties of CMSI. CMSI hereby
represents and warrants to the Trustee that:
(i) The information set forth in Exhibit B hereto was true and
correct in all material respects as of the date or dates respecting which such
information is furnished;

lien on the property securing the related Mortgage Note subject only to (a) the
lien of current real property taxes and assessments
40
as limited in clause (vi) below, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of
recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable
to mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in the
appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage
Loan, (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do
not in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by such Mortgage and (d) in addition, in the case of a
Mortgage on a cooperative apartment in a cooperative housing corporation, 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;
(iii) Immediately prior to the transfer of the Mortgage Loans
to the Trustee, CMSI has good title to, and is the sole legal owner of, each
Mortgage Loan (except as set forth in clause (v) below) and immediately upon the
transfer and assignment herein contemplated, CMSI will have taken all steps
necessary so that the Trustee will have good title to, and will be the sole
legal owner of, each Mortgage Loan (except as set forth in clause (v) below);
(iv) As of the Cut-Off Date, no payment of principal of or
interest on or in respect of any Mortgage Loan was 30 days or more past due (a
Mortgage Loan being considered 30 days past due in a given month when payment
due on the first day of the prior month has not been made on or before the last
day of such prior month) or has been 30 days or more past due more than once for
the twelve months preceding the Cut-Off Date;
(v) As of the Issue Date, there is no mechanics' lien or claim
for work, labor or material affecting the premises subject to any Mortgage which
is or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of such Mortgage except
those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in (x)
below;
(vi) As of the Issue Date, there is no delinquent tax or
assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;
(vii) As of the Issue Date, there is no valid offset, defense

of material damage and is in good repair;
(ix) Each Mortgage at the time it was originated complied in
all material respects with applicable state and federal laws, including, without
limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, recording and disclosure laws;
(x) A lender's title insurance policy or binder (which shall
have been approved as such by either FNMA or the FHLMC) or other assurance of
title customary in the relevant jurisdiction therefor, was issued on the date of
the origination of each Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan relating to a
cooperative apartment), and, as of the Issue Date, each such policy, binder or
assurance is valid and remains in full force and effect;
(xi) The Mortgage Loans conform in all material respects with
the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement
relating to the Certificates;
41
(xii) Each Mortgage Loan having an original principal amount
exceeding 90% of its Original Value is covered by primary mortgage insurance at
least until the outstanding principal amount thereof is less than or equal to
80% of either the Original Value through principal payments by the Mortgagor or
the value thereof as determined by a new appraisal delivered subsequent to
origination. So long as it is in effect, such primary mortgage insurance covers
the losses arising from defaults in an amount equal to the excess, of the
outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan over 75% of the Original
Value of such Mortgage Loan;
(xiii) The original principal amount of each Mortgage
Loan was not more than 95% of the Original Value of such Mortgage Loan; and
(xiv) With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Buydown
Funds deposited in the Buydown Account, 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.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee. Upon discovery by CMSI or the Trustee of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan
(including any Mortgage Loan substituted for a nonconforming Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.04), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties hereto. If within 60 days of the date of
such notice of breach or, with the prior written consent of a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, such longer period specified in such consent, CMSI does
not cure such breach in all material respects (including by substitution of one
or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans if and to the extent permitted by
Section 2.04), CMSI shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.
Any such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan by CMSI shall be accomplished in
the manner and at the repurchase price set forth in Section 2.02. Any such
repurchase shall be considered a prepayment in full of such Mortgage Loan on
such Due Date and shall be deposited (net of all Voluntary Advances, Trustee
Advances and Advance Amount Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, which
shall be reimbursed to the Trustee or deemed reimbursed to CMSI, as the case may
be) by CMSI in the Certificate Account and, upon receipt by the Trustee of
written notification of such deposit signed by an Authorized Officer of CMSI,
the Trustee shall release to CMSI the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as CMSI shall reasonably request, to vest in CMSI any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. Any repurchase by CMSI of a Mortgage Loan hereunder
shall be deemed to include the right to receive any Remittance thereon payable
after the month of repurchase, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of any such
Remittance, promptly remit the amount of such Remittance to CMSI. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of CMSI to repurchase any Mortgage
Loan as to which a breach occurred and is continuing and the limited indemnity
set forth in the following paragraph shall constitute the sole remedies against
CMSI respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04. Substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for
Nonconforming Mortgage Loans.
(a) CMSI shall have the right, in an event requiring a repurchase
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03, to substitute one or more Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loans for any one or more nonconforming Mortgage Loans, any such
substitution to take place on the day designated by CMSI (the "Substitution
Day")
42
occurring before a date two years after the Startup Day (or, if the Substitution
Day is not a Business Day, the next proceeding Business Day), subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.01 and subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions;
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(ii) the aggregate Adjusted Balance of all Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loans substituted on the Substitution Day (determined with respect to
each Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the Substitution Day) shall not
exceed an amount equal to 40% of the aggregate Adjusted Balance of all Mortgage
Loans as of the Closing Date;
(iii) the Trustee shall have received an Officer's Certificate
(A) stating that all conditions precedent to such substitution specified in this
subsection (a) have been satisfied and attaching as an exhibit a supplemental
Mortgage Loan schedule (the "Supplemental Mortgage Loan Schedule") setting forth
the same type of information as appears on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and
representing as to the accuracy thereof and (B) confirming that the
representations and warranties contained in Section 2.03 (other than paragraphs
(i) and (xi) thereof) are true and correct in all material respects with respect
to the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans on and as of the Substitution Day,
provided that remedies for the inaccuracy of such representation are limited as
set forth in Sections 2.02, 2.03 and this 2.04; and
(iv) the Trustee shall have received, not later than the
Substitution Day, an Opinion of Counsel (who may not be an employee of CMSI or
of an Affiliate of CMSI) and, if required by such counsel, a letter from an
accountant, dated the Substitution Day, to the effect (A) that all conditions to
such substitution specified in this subsection (a) have been satisfied, (B) that
the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans are "qualified replacement mortgages"
within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(4), and (C) that the substitution of
such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans will not result in the disqualification
of any Constituent REMIC as a REMIC under the Code or otherwise subject any
Constituent REMIC to any tax.
(b)......In the event that, on the Substitution Day, any Prepaid
Installments have been received in the Certificate Account with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, the full amount of such Prepaid Installment shall be paid on the
Substitution Day to CMSI from the Certificate Account.
(c)......Concurrently with the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 2.04(a) above and the grant of such Eligible Substitute Mortgage
Loans to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04(a) above, (A) Exhibit B to this
Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to exclude all Mortgage Loans being
replaced by such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans and to include, pursuant to
Section 10.01, the information set forth on the Supplemental Mortgage Loan
Schedule with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, and all
references in this Agreement to Mortgage Loans shall include such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans and (B) the Trustee shall release to CMSI the
nonconforming Mortgage Loan or Loans and execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment as may be required to transfer, without recourse, to CMSI
such nonconforming Mortgage Loan or Loans.
Section 2.05. Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee has
authenticated and delivered or caused to be authenticated and delivered to or
upon the order of CMSI, in accordance with the CMSI Order, in exchange for the
Mortgage Loans, concurrently with the transfer and assignment to the Trustee of
the Mortgage Loans, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee in authorized
denominations evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee
acknowledges that to the extent it holds any Class L Regular Interests, it holds
such Class L Regular Interests as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC.
ARTICLE III
43
CERTIFICATE ACCOUNT; PAYMENTS AND STATEMENTS TO
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS; ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF
MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Collection of Moneys. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Trustee may demand or cause to be demanded payment or
delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or
assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other
property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. The
Trustee shall hold all money and property received by it as part of the Trust
Fund and shall apply it as provided in this Agreement.
CMSI shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for
under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall, to the extent
such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such normal
collection procedures as it deems necessary and advisable. CMSI shall not be
required to institute litigation with respect to collection of any payment if it
reasonably questions its ability to enforce the provision of the Mortgage Loan
under which such payment is required. Consistent with the foregoing, CMSI may in
its discretion (a) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or
penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan or any
assumption fees or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing such Mortgage Loan and (b) arrange with a Mortgagor a schedule for the
payment of principal and interest due and unpaid after the applicable Due Date,
provided, if the arrangement is for a period of more than 90 days, CMSI
reasonably believes that without such arrangement the Mortgagor would default on
the related Mortgage Loan. Regardless of whether any arrangement of the type
described in clause (b) above is made, any such Mortgage Loan shall be
considered delinquent for all purposes of this Pooling Agreement.
Section 3.02. Certificate Account. (a) On or before the Issue Date,
CMSI shall open or cause to be opened with a Depository, Depositories or the
Trustee one or more accounts in the name of the Trustee, which shall
collectively be the "Certificate Account". The Certificate Account will be an
Investment Account if so specified in Article XII; otherwise, the Certificate
Account will be a non-interest bearing account. CMSI, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, daily in the Certificate
Account, within one Business Day following receipt and posting, all Remittances
related to Affiliated Mortgage Loans received by it. Remittances related to the
Third Party Mortgage Loans shall be deposited into the Custodial Accounts for
P&I and the Certificate Account in accordance with Section 3.03. All
Remittances, any amount required to be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 2.01, all other deposits therein pursuant to this Agreement,
and all investments made with such moneys, including all income or other gain
from such investments, shall be held by the Trustee in the Certificate Account
as part of the Trust Fund as herein provided, except for amounts from Buydown
Funds required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.06, which shall be held by
the Trustee in the Buydown Account on behalf of the Mortgagors, subject to
withdrawal by the Trustee or CMSI as servicer for the purposes set forth in
subsections (b) and (c) of Section 3.04. All funds withdrawn from the
Certificate Account pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 3.04 for the purpose
of making distributions to the Certificateholders shall be applied in accordance
with said subsections. The Trustee shall take such steps as CMSI may reasonably
request in order to enable CMSI to make deposits to and withdrawals from the
Certificate Account in accordance with Sections 3.03, 3.14 and 3.16.
Funds in the Certificate Account shall be invested and reinvested by
the Trustee at CMSI's written direction (subject to subsections (c) and (d) of
this Section 3.02) in one or more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold
at discount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no investment of any amount held in
the Certificate Account may mature later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the next Distribution Date; provided, however, that investments
(including repurchase agreements)
44
on which the Trustee, in its commercial capacity, is the obligor, may mature on
a Distribution Date if, under this Section 3.02, such investment could otherwise
mature on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date.
All income from investment of moneys deposited in a Certificate
Account, and all proceeds of disposition of any assets in the Certificate
Account, shall be deposited by the Trustee, the Servicer or the Master Servicer
in such Certificate Account immediately upon receipt, and any loss resulting
from such investment shall be charged to such Certificate Account. The Trustee
shall have no liability for any loss incurred in connection with any investment
or any sale or liquidation thereof pursuant hereto, unless caused by its
negligence or willful misconduct.
CMSI may deposit in each of the Certificate Account, Servicing Account
and Buydown Account the appropriate payments, collections and funds in respect
of one or more series of certificates issued under a registration statement
covering the CitiCertificates or similar certificates; provided that the senior
class of certificates of each such other series and the senior Class of
CitiCertificates are rated "AAA" or its equivalent (with respect to any Insured
Certificates, without regard to the Insurance Policy) or in the category "AA" or
its equivalent and the subordinated class of certificates of each such other
series and the subordinated Class of CitiCertificates are rated in the same
category by each Rating Agency, and provided further that separate accounting is
maintained.
(b) Funds and other property in the Certificate Account shall not
be commingled with any other moneys or property of the Trustee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Trustee may hold any funds or other property received or held
by it as part of the Certificate Account in collective accounts maintained by it
in the normal course of its business and containing funds or property held by it
for other persons; provided that such accounts are under the sole control of the
Trustee and the Trustee maintains adequate records indicating the ownership of
all such funds or property and the portions thereof held for credit to the
Certificate Account.
(c) CMSI will not direct the Trustee to make any investment of any
funds in the Certificate Account or to sell any investment held in the
Investment Account except under the following terms and conditions:
(i) each such investment shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a Qualified Nominee of the
Trustee; and
(ii) each such investment shall be a "cash flow investment" as
defined in Code Section 860G(a)(6).
(d) Generally, no Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior
to its maturity; provided, however, if any amounts are needed for disbursement
from the Certificate Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available
therein to make such disbursement, in the absence of a CMSI Order for the
liquidation of investments held therein in an amount sufficient to provide the
required funds, the Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to
cash a sufficient amount of the investments in the Certificate Account;
provided, further, however, that prior to any such sale or conversion to cash,
the Trustee shall have received (i) an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion may not
be provided by an employee of CMSI or of an Affiliate of CMSI) that such sale or
conversion to cash shall not constitute a "prohibited transaction" under Code
Section 860F(a), or (ii) (a) if such sale or conversion to cash constitutes such
a "prohibited transaction", 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 such transaction and (b) an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion
may not be provided by an employee of CMSI or of an Affiliate of CMSI) that such
transaction will not disqualify any Constituent REMIC as a REMIC.
45
(e) The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of
any insufficiency in the Certificate Account or the Buydown Account except for
losses on investments which are liabilities of the Trustee in its commercial
capacity.
(f) Unless it shall have otherwise agreed in writing with CMSI,
the Trustee shall not be required to enter into repurchase obligations for the
investment of funds in the Investment Account with any Person whose repurchase
obligations would be Eligible Investments only if the requirements of subclause
(B) of clause (iii) of the definition of the term "Eligible Investments" were
complied with in connection with such investment.
Section 3.03. Third Party Mortgage Loans; Custodial Accounts for P&I
and Certificate Account Deposits.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be established and
maintained segregated Custodial Accounts for P&I and segregated Escrow Accounts
in accordance with the requirements of the Guide and shall deposit or cause to
be deposited therein within two Business Days the amounts related to the Third
Party Mortgage Loans required by the Third Party Servicing Agreements to be so
deposited. Proceeds received with respect to individual Third Party Mortgage
Loans from any title, hazard or other insurance policy covering such Mortgage
Loan other than any Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificate shall 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 any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Certificate shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for
P&I and shall be applied to the balances of the related Third Party Mortgage
Loans as payments of interest and principal. Third Party Servicers are
authorized to make withdrawals from the Custodial Accounts for P&I for the
purposes required or permitted by this Agreement and in accordance with the
Guide. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for monitoring such withdrawals.
The Custodial Accounts for P&I shall each bear a designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Servicer and/or
the owners of the Third Party Mortgage Loans. Amounts deposited in any Custodial
Account for P&I shall be fully insured by the FDIC or the National Credit Union
Share Insurance Fund. To the extent amounts received for deposit in any
Custodial Account for P&I will not be fully insured, such excess shall either,
at the option of the Master Servicer, be secured by one or more Eligible
Investments maturing not later than the Determination Date with respect to such
amounts or in every other case be promptly remitted to the Certificate Account
or the account referred to in Subsection (d) below, such Eligible Investments as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered and acceptable to the Trustee to
the effect that the Master Servicer has either a claim to the funds held by the
institution or a perfected first security interest against any such Eligible
Investments superior to the claims of any other depositor or general creditor of
such institution.
The Master Servicer shall advance 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 or the Third Party Master Servicer on the date when such
tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the
Master Servicer shall be required to so advance only to the extent that such
advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable
by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or
otherwise from the related Third Party Mortgage Loans.
Any amounts received by a Third Party Servicer with respect to a Third
Party Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have been received by the Master Servicer
for purposes of this Agreement. In the event a Third Party Servicer fails to
remit any amounts received by the Third Party Servicer and required to be
remitted hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to transmit the
required amounts to the Trustee regardless of the failure of the Third Party
Servicer.
46
The Master Servicer shall keep, or cause to be kept, and maintain, or
cause to be maintained, separate accounting on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan
basis, for any remittances to or payments from the Custodial Accounts for P&I.
(b) Not later than the Determination Date, the Master Servicer
shall withdraw or direct the withdrawal from any funds in the Custodial Accounts
for P&I and deposit into the Certificate Account the following amounts:
(i) Scheduled installments of principal and interest on the
Third Party Mortgage Loans received or advanced by the Third Party
Servicers or the Third Party Master Servicer which were due the first
day of the current month, net of Third Party Servicing Fees due Third
Party Servicers;
(ii) Principal Prepayments in full and Liquidation and
Insurance Proceeds net of Third Party Servicing Fees due Third Party Servicers;
(iii) Partial prepayments of principal received by the Third
Party Servicer for such Mortgage Loans in the immediately preceding
calendar month, or the current month in the case of partial prepayments
received with the scheduled installments of principal and interest
which were due on the first day of the current month; and
(iv) Payments for repurchase of Third Party Mortgage Loans
by Third Party Servicers.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, the following payments
and collections received or made by the Master Servicer shall be deposited into
the Certificate Account on the Certificate Account Deposit Date (other than in
respect of principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the
Cut-Off Date):
Not later than the Certificate Account Deposit Date, the foregoing
withdrawals and any amounts remitted to the Third Party Servicers pursuant to
paragraph (a) and (b) above shall be deposited into the Certificate Account;
provided, however, that (x) any Principal Prepayments in full, Liquidation or
Insurance Proceeds with respect to the Third Party Mortgage Loans shall not be
required to be deposited in the Certificate Account earlier than the Certificate
Account Deposit Date in the month succeeding the month in which such amount was
received by the related Third Party Servicer and (y) the Substitution Adjustment
Amount in connection with any Substitute Mortgage Loan and the proceeds from the
repurchase of a Third Party Mortgage Loan shall not be required to be deposited
in the Certificate Account earlier than the Certificate Account Deposit Date in
the month following the month during which the circumstances which gave rise to
such substitution or repurchase occurred.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall deposit (or cause to be
deposited) in the Certificate Account not later than the third Business Day
preceding each Certificate Account Deposit Date, in the case of clause (i) and
in the case of clauses (ii) through (iv) below on the Certificate Account
Deposit Date:
(i) Any Voluntary Advances with respect to the Third Party
Mortgage Loans in respect of such Distribution Date;
(ii) The amount, if any, with respect to a Third Party
Mortgage Loan which was prepaid in full by the Mortgagor or for which a
final liquidation has occurred during the preceding calendar month
required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.25 hereof;
47
(iii) All Liquidation Proceeds received in the preceding month
by the Master Servicer in connection with the liquidation of defaulted
Third Party Mortgage Loans, net of related Liquidation Expenses;
(iv) All Insurance Proceeds with respect to a Third Party
Mortgage Loan received in the preceding month by the Master Servicer,
other than proceeds applied to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property; and
(v) With respect to the Third Party Mortgage Loans, any amount
required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.21.
CMSI shall deposit in the Certificate Account not later than the
Certificate Account Deposit Date the Substitution Adjustment Amount in
connection with any Substitute Mortgage Loan being substituted and the amount
specified in Sections 2.02 and 2.03 paid by CMSI in respect of any Third Party
Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof as to which the
circumstances giving rise to substitution or purchase occurred during the month
preceding such Certificate Account Deposit Date (and not substituted or
purchased by a Third Party Servicer for which a deposit has already been made to
such Third Party Servicer's Custodial Account for P&I or otherwise deposited by
the Master Servicer).
(d) Prior to the Certificate Account Deposit Date the Master
Servicer may deposit the amounts described in Section 3.03(b) in a separate
account in the name of the Master Servicer and the Trustee (such account shall
be maintained in the trust department of a Depositor and shall 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
Certificateholders) (the "Investment Account") for investment only in one or
more Eligible Investments. The Master Servicer shall bear any and all losses
incurred on any investments made with such funds and shall 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 shall be deposited in the Investment Account by the Master
Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized. Any successor master
servicer appointed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be responsible for
losses attributable to its predecessor. No investments held in the Investment
Account shall mature later than the Certificate Account Deposit Date.
Section 3.04. Distributions. (a) By 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed from the
Certificate Account (or, to the extent provided in Articles XII and XIII, the
Upper-Tier REMIC Account) or shall cause the Paying Agent to distribute from a
designated account to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution)
by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address appearing in the
Certificate Register; if eligible for wire transfer as set forth in Article XII
and if the Trustee has received wiring instructions from the Certificateholder
by wire transfer; or by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder,
CMSI, the Paying Agent and the Trustee (if it is making payments directly to the
Certificateholders) shall agree, the amount required to be distributed to such
Certificateholder pursuant to the Certificates and this Agreement. If wiring
instructions are received by the Trustee, such instructions will remain in
effect until changed by such Certificateholder by written notice to the Paying
Agent and the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to a subsequent
Distribution Date.
In the event CMSI appoints a Paying Agent, the Trustee will, on or
prior to each Distribution Date, deposit, in immediately available funds from
funds available in the Certificate Account, in an account designated by the
Paying Agent the amount required to be distributed to the Certificateholders on
such Distribution Date pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 3.04
and, unless such Paying Agent is CMSI, the Trustee will promptly notify CMSI of
its deposit or its failure to make such deposit. CMSI will
48
cause any Paying Agent which is not the Trustee to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent agrees with the Trustee that
such Paying Agent will:
(1) hold all amounts deposited with it by CMSI or the Trustee for
payment on the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders
until such amounts are paid to such Certificateholders or otherwise disposed of
as herein provided;
(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by CMSI the making of
any such deposit; and
(3) at any time during the continuance of any default of CMSI in
making such a deposit, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to
the Trustee all amounts so held in trust by such Paying Agent.
For each distribution to the Certificateholders or deposit with the
Paying Agent, the Servicer will use Affiliated Uncommitted Cash to make an
Affiliated Certificate Account Advance and the Master Servicer will use Third
Party Uncommitted Cash to make a Third Party Certificate Account Advance to
cover any Remittance Delinquencies relating to the Affiliated Mortgage Loans or
Third Party Mortgage Loans, respectively, prior to making any Voluntary Advances
or requesting that the Trustee (in its individual capacity) make a Third Party
Trustee Advance or Affiliated Trustee Advance (or an Advance Account Advance).
(b) Based on payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loans,
on each Determination Date the Servicer shall determine:
(i) the Pool Distribution Amount;
(ii) the Class A Interest Amount, the Class A Unpaid Interest
Shortfall, the Class M Interest Amount, the Class M Unpaid Interest Shortfall,
the Class B Subclass Interest Amount for each Class B Subclass and the Class
B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5 Unpaid Interest Shortfall for
each Class B Subclass;
(iii) the Class A Optimal Principal Amount, the Class A Non-PO
Principal Amount, the Class A PO Principal Amount, Class M Optimal Principal
Amount and the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5 Optimal
Principal Amounts;
(iv) the Class A Principal Distribution Amount, the Class M
Principal Distribution Amount and the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4
and Class B-5 Principal Distribution Amount;
(v) the PO Loss Amount;
(vi) the Available PO Loss Funds;
(vii) the Insurance Premium, if any, and
(viii) Such other information as may be required to determine
the distributions to be made to Certificateholders in accordance with Article
XII.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute or cause to be
distributed from funds on deposit in the Certificate Account (or, to the extent
provided in Articles XII and XIII, the Upper-Tier REMIC Account) to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date such
Certificateholder's share
49
(based on the denomination represented by Certificates of the applicable Class
held by such Holder) of the amounts distributable to such Class or Subclass in
accordance with the priorities set forth in Articles XII and XIII, each such
amount being the amount thereof set forth in the applicable Distribution Date
Statement. Any such amount withdrawn for application to amounts distributable in
respect of interest or in reduction of Principal Amount pursuant to subsection
(d) of this Section 3.04, but not distributed because of the non-presentation of
the related Certificates, or because the check for such payment is returned
undelivered, shall be set aside and held by the Trustee in a separate trust
account for the benefit of the Holders of such Certificates, and all such
amounts will be deemed to have been distributed to such 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; provided, that
after two years, any such amount that remains in such separate account shall be
paid to the Holder of the Class LR or Class R Certificate, as appropriate
(except that any amounts representing reimbursement for Insured Payments shall
be paid to the Insurer), and after such payment the Holders of such Certificates
shall be required to seek payments as unsecured general creditors from the
Holder of the Class LR or Class R Certificate, as the case may be.
(c) On each Distribution Date, so long as CMSI shall have prepared
and delivered to the Trustee a Distribution Date Statement in respect of such
Distribution Date and the Trustee (based on such statement) shall have made, or,
in accordance with this Section 3.03, set aside from amounts in the Certificate
Account an amount sufficient to make the distributions on the Certificates then
required to be made as indicated in such Distribution Date Statement, plus an
amount equal to the Affiliated Uncommitted Cash and the Third Party Uncommitted
Cash, if any, to be in the Certificate Account as of such Distribution Date (to
the extent not required for either a Third Party Certificate Account Advance or
an Affiliated Certificate Account Advance), the amount of which unremitted cash
shall have been certified to the Trustee by CMSI, the cash balance, if any, then
remaining in the related Certificate Account shall be withdrawn from such
Certificate Account by or on behalf of the Trustee and applied to the payment of
the CMSI Fee, if any (to the extent not already retained by the Servicer or
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.23), the amount of such payment being set
forth in a certificate of a Servicing Officer or a Responsible Officer, as the
case may be. The balance, if any, of the amount so withdrawn shall be paid on
such Distribution Date by or on behalf of the Trustee to the Holder of the Class
LR Certificate. The Trustee is hereby authorized by CMSI to authorize, and the
Trustee hereby authorizes, the Depository to withdraw the amount of such balance
from the Certificate Account and pay it to the Holder of the Class LR
Certificate, on its behalf in accordance with such Servicer's Certificate.
(d) All reductions in Principal Amount of a Certificate (or one or
more Predecessor Certificates) effected by distributions made on any
Distribution Date or reductions thereof without distributions pursuant to
Article XIII or otherwise in accordance with this Pooling Agreement shall 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 such distribution is noted on such Certificate. The final
distribution on each Certificate (including the final distribution on any
Certificate receiving a distribution in connection with a termination pursuant
to Section 9.01) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender thereof
on or after the Distribution Date therefor at the office or agency of the
Trustee maintained by the Trustee for such purpose pursuant to Article XII.
Whenever, on the basis of distributions on the Mortgage Loans received
and expected to be received since the preceding Determination Date, CMSI expects
that the Principal Amount of any Class of CitiCertificates will be reduced to
zero on the next Distribution Date it shall, not later than the third day
preceding such Distribution Date, mail or cause to be mailed to the Trustee and
each such Person in whose name a CitiCertificate to be so retired is registered
at the close of business on the applicable Record Date a notice to the effect
that:
50
(i) CMSI expects that funds sufficient to reduce such
Principal Amount to zero will be available in the Certificate Account on such
Distribution Date, and
(ii) if such funds are available, (A) such final distribution
will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender
of such CitiCertificate at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Article XII (the address of which shall be set forth in
such notice), and (B) no interest shall accrue on such CitiCertificate after the
end of the related Interest Accrual Period with respect to such Distribution
Date.
(e) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each
Certificate delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer of or
in exchange for or in lieu of any other Certificate shall carry the rights to
unpaid distributions that were carried by such other Certificate. Any checks
mailed pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3.04 and returned undelivered
shall be held in accordance with Section 3.04(b).
(f) Not later than the third Business Day next preceding each
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall prepare or cause to be prepared a
statement (a "Distribution Date Statement") with respect to such Distribution
Date setting forth:
(i) the Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date
(including the portion thereof which represents any Reimbursable Class A Non-PO
Losses, Reimbursable Class A PO Losses, Reimbursable Class M Losses and
Reimbursable Class B Losses for such Distribution Date);
(ii) the aggregate amount of interest accrued during the
related Interest Accrual Period on all Outstanding CitiCertificates and
Certificates and any Non-Supported Interest Shortfalls;
(iii) the aggregate amount of interest to be distributed on
each Class of CitiCertificates then Outstanding, identifying the portion thereof
attributable to Class A Unpaid Interest Shortfalls, Class M Unpaid Interest
Shortfalls or Class B Unpaid Interest Shortfalls;
(iv) the aggregate distribution in reduction of Principal
Amount to be made in respect of each Class of CitiCertificates then Outstanding;
(v) the amount in reduction of Principal Amount of the
CitiCertificates not the result of distributions in reduction of Principal
Amount;
(vi) whether the amount expected to be available in the
Certificate Account on such Distribution Date will be sufficient to pay on such
Distribution Date all amounts specified in clauses (iii) and (iv) above and, if
not, the percentages of each such amount which may be paid in accordance with
the priorities set forth in Section 3.04(b) from the amounts expected to be
available in the Certificate Account;
(vii) the amounts included in such statement pursuant to
clauses (iii) and (iv) above, expressed in each case per $1,000 Initial
Principal Amount (or initial notional amount) to be paid on such Distribution
Date,
(viii) the aggregate amounts of Servicing Fee and Master
Servicing Fee, if any, to be paid pursuant to Section 3.04(c);
(ix) the Special Hazard Loss Amount, Fraud Loss Amount and
Bankruptcy Loss Amount after giving effect to any changes thereto in respect of
the applicable Distribution Date;
51
(x) the amount, if any, to be withdrawn from the Certificate
Account and paid over to the Holder of the Class LR Certificate on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.04(c); and
(xi) the Principal Amount of the CitiCertificates which will
remain Outstanding after giving effect to the distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date, expressed both on an aggregate basis and per $1,000 Initial
Principal Amount.
Each Distribution Date Statement shall be delivered, by 10:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on the date on which it is due to be prepared, by or on behalf of
CMSI, to the Trustee. The foregoing requirements shall be satisfied by timely
delivery of the reports to Certificateholders required pursuant to Section 3.05,
which collectively shall then be deemed a "Distribution Date Statement" for
purposes of this Agreement, with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent.
(g) In the event that a Voluntary Advance is to be made on any
Distribution Date, the advancing Person shall deposit, in the case of an
Affiliated Mortgage Loan, in the Certificate Account not later than the Business
Day next preceding the Distribution Date an amount equal to such Voluntary
Advance or, in the case of a Third Party Mortgage Loan, an amount equal to such
advance in accordance with Section 3.03. It is understood and agreed that the
election of the Servicer or the Master Servicer or the Third Party Master
Servicer or a Third Party Servicer to make any such advance as permitted by this
subsection (g) of Section 3.04 is based upon its good faith judgment that the
amount of such advance will be recoverable from future payments and proceeds on
the related Mortgage Loan, and that no obligation, express or implied, exists
respecting any such advance.
Section 3.05. Reports to Certificateholders. The Trustee will include,
or will cause to be included, with each distribution to Holders of
CitiCertificates and will send, or cause to be sent to the Rating Agencies and

monthly payment
53
under the buydown agreement, CMSI will withdraw from the Buydown Account and
deposit, or cause to be deposited. in immediately available funds in the

CMSI will deposit, or cause to be deposited, in 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 with
respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan.
If a Buydown Mortgage is fully prepaid while Buydown Funds remain in
the Buydown Account, the unpaid principal balance of such Buydown Mortgage Loan
will be reduced by the amount of such Buydown Funds (which reduction shall
constitute a Principal Prepayment) and, on the Business Day next following the
date of such Principal Prepayment, CMSI shall deposit, or cause to be deposited,
in the Certificate Account, such Buydown Funds. If the property securing a
Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in liquidation of the Buydown Mortgage Loan

Certificate) while Buydown Funds remain in the Buydown Account, such Buydown
Funds shall be (i) deposited in the Certificate Account on the Business Day next
following such liquidation as a reduction of the unpaid principal balance of
such Buydown Mortgage Loan or (ii) if and to the extent required under any
applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificate, paid to the insurer of the
Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.07. Tax Returns and Reports to Certificateholders.
(a) For federal income tax purposes, each of the Constituent
REMICs shall have a calendar year taxable year and shall maintain its books on
the accrual method of accounting.

authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect
to each Constituent REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in
the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders, the schedules, statements or information at such times and
in such manner as may be required thereby. Within 30 days of the Startup Day,
the Servicer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Form 8811 or as may otherwise be required by the Code, the name,
title, address, and telephone number of the person that the Holders of the
CitiCertificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
such additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall update
such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.
Such federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed
by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by
the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations or rules.
(c) In the first federal income tax return of each of the
Constituent REMICs for its short taxable year ending December 31 in the year in
which the Startup Day occurs, REMIC status shall be elected for such taxable
year and all succeeding taxable years.
(d) The Servicer will maintain such records relating to each of
the Constituent REMICs, including but not limited to the income, expenses,
assets and liabilities thereof, and the adjusted basis of the property thereof
determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary
to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information.
(e) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall be deemed to have
agreed, by acceptance thereof, to be bound by this Section 3.07 and by Section

54
Section 3.08. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 3.09. Reports by Independent Accountants. (a) CMSI hereby
appoints KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as its Independent Accountants for purposes of
preparing and delivering the reports or certificates required by this Section
3.09. Upon any resignation by such firm, CMSI shall promptly appoint a successor
thereto that shall also be a firm of Independent Accountants of recognized
national reputation. If CMSI shall fall to appoint a successor to a firm of
Independent Accountants which has resigned within 15 days after such
resignation, CMSI shall promptly notify the Trustee of such failure in writing.
If CMSI shall not have appointed a successor within 10 days thereafter, the
Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor firm of Independent Accountants of
recognized national reputation. The fees of such Independent Accountants and any
such successor shall be payable by CMSI as Servicer, or any successor Servicer.
(b) On or before March 31 in relation to the Affiliated Mortgage
Loans and September 30 in relation to the Third Party Mortgage Loans of each
year (each, a "Report Date"), beginning with the March 31 and September 30,
respectively in the year which begins not less than three months after the date
of the initial issuance of the Certificates, CMSI, at its expense, shall cause
the firm of Independent Accountants appointed pursuant to Section 3.09(a) (who
may also render other services to CMSI) to furnish a report to the Trustee and
to the Insurer to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and
records relating to the servicing of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing
agreements substantially similar to this Pooling Agreement (which agreements
shall be described in a schedule to such statement), and that such examination,
which has been conducted substantially in compliance with the audit guide for
audits of non-supervised mortgagees approved by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers
or the Audit Program for Mortgage serviced by FHLMC for use by independent
public accountants (to the extent that the procedures in such audit guide are
applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in such agreements), has
disclosed no items of noncompliance with the provisions of this Pooling
Agreement which, in the opinion of such firm, are material, except for such
items of noncompliance as shall be set forth in such report. For purposes of
such report, such firm may conclusively presume that any pooling and servicing
agreement which governs certificates offered under a common registration
statement under the Act, covering the CitiCertificates or similar certificates
with the CitiCertificates is substantially similar to the Pooling Agreement,
unless such other pooling and servicing agreement expressly states otherwise.
Section 3.10. CMSI to Act as Servicer of Affiliated Mortgage Loans.
CMSI (or any subservicer to whom such duties are delegated pursuant to Section
6.06 hereof) shall service and administer the Affiliated Mortgage Loans and
shall have the power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. The Servicer shall service the Affiliated Mortgage Loans in
accordance with its normal servicing procedures for mortgage loans held in its
own portfolio. CMSI may perform its servicing responsibilities in connection
with the Affiliated Mortgage Loans through agents or independent contractors as
set forth in Section 6.06. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
CMSI shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Certificateholders and the Trustee
or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Affiliated Mortgage Loans and with respect to the properties
subject to their respective Mortgages. The Trustee shall furnish CMSI with any
powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable CMSI
to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
All costs incurred by CMSI in effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the properties related to the Affiliated Mortgage Loans subject
to the Mortgages shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions
to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related
55
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit,
and such costs shall be recoverable by CMSI pursuant to Section 3.16.
The relationship of CMSI (and of any successor to CMSI as servicer or
Master Servicer under this Pooling Agreement) to the Trustee under this Pooling
Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and
not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
Section 3.11. CMSI to Act as Master Servicer of Third Party Mortgage
Loans. CMSI, as Master Servicer, shall service and administer the Third Party
Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through a Third Party Master Servicer and Third Party Servicers, to do any and
all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may
deem necessary or desirable in connection therewith. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Third Party Mortgage Loans
and with respect to the properties subject to the Mortgages. The Trustee shall
furnish the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents
reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out
its servicing and administrative duties of the Third Party Mortgage Loans.
Unless otherwise specified herein with respect to specific obligations
of the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the
Third Party Mortgage Loans in the best interests of, and for the benefit of, the
Certificateholders, in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards
and procedures accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with
the Guide. The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of
any event, circumstance or occurrence which may adversely affect the ability of
the Master Servicer to service any Third Party Mortgage Loan or to otherwise
perform and carry out its duties, responsibilities and obligations under and
accordance with this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall at all times maintain
accurate records and books of account and an adequate system of audit and
internal controls. All accounting and loan servicing records pertaining to each
Third Party Mortgage Loan shall be maintained in such manner as 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 shall be maintained for the period required by the Guide
or such longer period as is required by law.
The Master Servicer intends to perform its servicing and administration
functions, as Master Servicer, pursuant to this Agreement through the Third
Party Master Servicer and the Third Party Servicers. All actions by the Third
Party Servicers or the Third Party Master Servicer with respect to the servicing
and administration of the Third Party Mortgage Loans shall be treated as though
done by the Master Servicer itself. All documents, instruments or contracts
executed by the Third Party Servicers on behalf of the Master Servicer shall be
treated by the Trustee as though executed by the Master Servicer itself.
All costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by the Third Party Master
Servicer or any Third Party Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes
and assessments on the properties subject to the Third Party Mortgage Loans
shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Third Party
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Third Party Mortgage Loan
so permit, and such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer to the
extent permitted by Section 3.16.
Section 3.12. Servicing Agreements between Master Servicer and Third
Party Servicers; Enforcement of Third Party Servicers. (a) The Master Servicer
may enter into Third Party Servicing
56
Agreements with Third Party Servicers for the servicing and administration of
certain of the Third Party Mortgage Loans. References in this Agreement to
actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Third Party
Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Third Party Servicer on
behalf of the Master Servicer. Each Third Party Servicing Agreement will be upon
such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the
Master Servicer and the Third Party Servicer have agreed and shall be effective
as of the date of conveyance of the Third Party Mortgage Loans by CMSI to the
Trustee. With the approval of the Master Servicer, a Third Party Servicer may
delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such Third
Party Servicers will remain obligated under the related Third Party Servicing
Agreement. The Master Servicer and any Third Party Servicer may enter into
amendments thereto; provided, however, that any such amendments shall be
consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Third Party Servicer under the related Servicing
Agreement including, without limitation, the obligation to make advances in
respect of delinquent payments as required by a Servicing Agreement, to purchase
a Mortgage Loan on account of defective documentation, as described in Section
2.02, or on account of a breach of a representation or warranty, as described in
Section 2.03. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of
other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, but
shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from
such enforcement only to the extent. if any, that such recovery exceeds all
amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific
recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom
such enforcement is directed. The Mater Servicer may perform its obligations
under this Subsection (b) directly or through the Third Party Master Servicer.
Section 3.13. Liability of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding any
Third Party Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement
relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Third
Party Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Third Party Servicer or
otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee
and Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Third Party
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of indemnification from the
Third Party Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as though the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Third Party Mortgage Loans. For purposes of making distributions to
Certificateholders all amounts received by a Third Party Servicer in connection
with the Third Party Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to have been received by the
Master Servicer, and with respect to any successor Master Servicer from the time
such successor Master Xxxxxxxx becomes the Master Servicer, whether or not such
amounts are actually remitted by the Third Party Servicer to the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with
a Third Party Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.14. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments with respect
to an Affiliated Mortgage Loan; Certificate Account. The Servicer shall deposit
or cause to be deposited in the Certificate Account for Affiliated Mortgage
Loans the following amounts:
(i) All payments (other than payments due and payable, and
Principal Prepayments received, on or before the Cut-Off Date) on account of
principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Affiliated Mortgage Loans;
57
(ii) All payments (other than those due and payable on or before
the Cut-Off Date) on account of interest on the Affiliated Mortgage Loans, net
of any Servicing Fee retained by it pursuant to Section 3.23;
(iii) Any Buydown Funds required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.06;
(iv) All Liquidation Proceeds with respect to Affiliated Mortgage
Loans other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the related Mortgagor in
accordance with normal servicing procedures;
(v) All proceeds of any Affiliated Mortgage Loans or property
acquired in respect thereof repurchased pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or
9.01 (including any reserve funds established pursuant to Section 2.02);
(vi) Any Voluntary Advance with respect to an Affiliated Mortgage
Loan or Affiliated Trustee Advance;
(vii) Any Advance Account Advance with respect to an Affiliated
Mortgage Loan; and
(viii) The amount the Servicer is required to pay into the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.25 with respect to an Affiliated
Mortgage Loan.
CMSI shall cause all amounts collected with respect to the Affiliated Mortgage
Loans to be deposited in immediately available funds on the Business Day
following CMSI's receipt of cash or a check or other instrument representing
payment of any such amount. In the event that CMSI must repay any such amount,
by reason of the reversal of a provisional credit owing to the dishonor of a
Mortgagor's check or otherwise, CMSI shall promptly (x) withhold (or cause to be
withheld) a corresponding amount from a subsequent deposit into the Certificate
Account, and (y) restate (or cause to be restated) its accounts appropriately.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Certificate Account shall be
exclusive (except with respect to payments of Voluntary Advances made with
respect to Affiliated Mortgages pursuant to Section 3.04(g) and any Advance
Account Advance pursuant to Section 8.14), it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, amounts required to be
deposited into the Servicing Account, amounts in the nature of prepayment
charges, late payment charges, assumption fees and other fees and proceeds of
reimbursements of Property Protection Expenses received with respect to
Affiliated Mortgage Loans need not be deposited by CMSI in the Certificate
Account.
Section 3.15. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Other Items,
Servicing Account. In addition to the Certificate Account, Escrow Accounts,
Custodial Accounts for P&I and the Buydown Account, CMSI shall establish and
maintain or cause to be established and maintained with Depositories Servicing
Accounts and shall deposit therein all collections of taxes, assessments,
primary mortgage or hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the
account of the Mortgagors. Withdrawals from the Servicing Account may be made
only to effect payment of taxes, assessments, primary mortgage or hazard
insurance premiums or comparable items, to reimburse CMSI out of related
collections for any payments made pursuant to Section 3.10 regarding taxes and
assessments, Section 3.17 regarding premiums on Primary Mortgage Insurance
Certificates and Section 3.18 regarding premiums on standard hazard insurance
policies, to refund to any Mortgagors any sums 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 9.01.
58

may, from time to time, make (or cause to be made) payments from the Certificate
Account for the following purposes, in order of priority listed:
(i) To pay itself the Servicing Fee and Expenses (to the extent
not withheld from payments of interest received on the Mortgage Loans);
(ii) To effect reimbursement for Liquidation Expenses theretofore
incurred in respect of any Mortgage Loan in an amount not to exceed the amount
of Liquidation Proceeds deposited in respect of such Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Sections 3.04 and 3.10, net of the Servicing Fee or, Expenses, as applicable, as
hereinafter specified, and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such
reimbursement are excess of the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Mortgage Note Rate to
the date of purchase at the foreclosure sale, liquidation proceeding or
otherwise, pay to itself an amount equal to such excess and to pay itself the
amounts due the Servicer under Section 3.21 relating to deficiency actions;
(iii) To effect reimbursement for Voluntary Advances, or to
reimburse the Trustee for Third Party Trustee Advances or Affiliated Trustee
Advances, with respect to Mortgage Loans the right to reimbursement pursuant to
this clause (iii) being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans
(including, for this purpose, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) that
represent late recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest respecting
which any such advance was made;
(iv) To effect reimbursement for any Voluntary Advances or Trustee
Advance, as applicable (or portion thereof) that the advancing Person has
determined in good faith to have become Nonrecoverable Advances;
(v) To effect reimbursement for advances made with respect to any
Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Section 3.10 in payment of taxes or
assessments, pursuant to Section 3.17 in payment of premiums on Primary Mortgage
Insurance Certificates, and pursuant to Section 3.18 in payment of hazard
insurance premiums (except premiums on the blanket policy referred to in Section
3.18) in any amount not heretofore reimbursed out of the Servicing Account, in
each case to the extent and only to the extent that reimbursements of such
advances with respect to such Mortgage Loans have been deposited in the
Certificate Account pursuant to Sections 3.03 or 3.14;
(vi) To make payments permitted pursuant to the last sentence of
Section 6.03;
(vii) To effect reimbursement for Voluntary Advances, to reimburse
the Trustee for Third Party Trustee Advances and Affiliated Trustee Advances, to

Account and not required to be distributed to the Certificateholders (including,
for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds covering the
property subject to the related Mortgage);
(viii) To make payments in the amounts and in the manner provided in
Sections 3.04, 12.01 and 13.01;
(ix) To clear and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant to

been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 9.01, all
59
amounts received thereon following such purchase and not distributed as of the
date on which the related Adjusted Balance or Purchase Price is determined.
CMSI shall keep and maintain (or cause to be kept and maintained)
separate accounting records, on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis, for the
purpose of accounting for withdrawals from the Certificate Account pursuant to
clauses (ii), (iii), (iv),(vi), (vii), (viii) and (xi) of this Section;
provided, however. that it is understood and agreed that such records need not
be retained by CMSI for a period longer than its five most recent fiscal years.
Section 3.17. Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificates.
CMSI covenants and agrees to exercise its best reasonable efforts to cause to be
maintained and kept in full force and effect each Primary Mortgage Insurance
Certificate in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance
Certificate. CMSI agrees to effect the timely payment of the premium on each
Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificate, and such costs not otherwise recoverable
shall be recoverable by CMSI pursuant to Section 3.16. In connection with its
activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, CMSI agrees to
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to
the insurer under each Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificate and, in this
regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery
under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificate respecting a defaulted Mortgage
Loan. Pursuant to Section 3.16, any amounts collected by CMSI under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Certificate shall be deposited in the Certificate Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.16. CMSI shall have the power to
substitute for any Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificate another substantially
equivalent policy issued by another insurer, provided that no such substitution
shall be made unless (i) CMSI shall have been advised by each Rating Agency that
such substitution will not negatively affect the then-current rating by such
Rating Agency of the CitiCertificates (with respect to any Insured Certificates,
without regard to the Insurance Policy) or (ii) the claims-paying ability of the
primary mortgage insurer is, at the time of such substitution, rated by each
Rating Agency rating the CitiCertificates at least in the category of "AA" or
its equivalent.
Section 3.18. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance, Property Protection
Expenses. CMSI shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a
Mortgage Loan relating to a cooperative apartment) hazard insurance with
extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to (a) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan if such amount
is less than the unpaid principal balance on the related Mortgage Loan, (b) the
principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan if such amount is greater than or
equal to 80% but is less than or equal to 100% of the insurable value or (c) 80%
of the insurable value if principal balance the Mortgage Loan is less than 80%
of the insurable value. Except in the case of cooperative apartments, CMSI shall
also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, hazard fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is
at least equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum insurable value from time to
time of the improvements which are a part of such property or (b) the unpaid
principal balance from time to time on such Mortgage Loan at the time of such
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure plus accrued interest at the Mortgage
Note Rate and the good-faith estimate of CMSI of related Liquidation Expenses to
be incurred in connection therewith. To the extent provided in Sections 3.10 and
3.04, amounts collected by CMSI under any such policies shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account (other than in the case of Third Party Mortgage Loans,
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repairs of the related Mortgaged
Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Guide). Any cost incurred by CMSI in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage
Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan may so permit. Such
costs shall be recoverable by CMSI pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.16. In cases
in which property securing any Mortgage Loan is located in a federally
designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for such Mortgage
Loan shall include flood insurance. It is understood and agreed
60
that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan,
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If CMSI shall obtain
and maintain a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the
Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.16, it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which
case CMSI shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this
Section, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such
policy, deposit in the Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable
under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause.
Section 3.19. Assumption and Modification Agreements Relating to
Mortgage Loans. In any case in which property relating to a Mortgage Loan
subject to a Mortgage has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, CMSI
shall exercise (or cause to be exercised) the right to accelerate the maturity
of such Mortgage Loan under any due-on-sale clause applicable thereto to the
extent of its contractual arrangements with such Mortgagor. If it is prevented,
as provided in the last paragraph of this Section, from enforcing any such
clause or if the Mortgage Loan does not contain an enforceable due-on-sale
provision, CMSI is authorized to take or enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such property has been or
is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the
related Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor remains liable thereon; provided, that
such Mortgage Loan as assumed or modified meets the requirements set forth in
this Pooling Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans initially included in
the Trust Fund and that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered by my
related Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificate and hazard insurance policy. CMSI
shall notify the Trustee that any assumption and modification agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Mortgage Document Custodian (with a copy to the
Trustee) an original thereof, which original shall be added by the Mortgage
Document Custodian to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In connection with any
such agreement, the interest rate of the related Mortgage Note shall not be
changed nor shall any other term affecting the amount or timing of payment on
the Mortgage Loan be changed. Any fee collected by CMSI for entering into any
such agreement will be retained by CMSI as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph of this Section or any other
provision of this Pooling Agreement, CMSI shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan, or transfer of the property subject to a Mortgage
without the assumption thereof, by operation of law or by reason of any
assumption or transfer which CMSI reasonably believes it may be restricted by
law from preventing or which would result in non-coverage of any resulting loss
that would otherwise be covered under the Mortgage Pool Insurance Policy and any
related Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificate, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.20. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 3.21. Realization on Defaulted Mortgage Loans. CMSI shall use
its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.01. Consistent with the foregoing, CMSI shall use
reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as
will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Certificateholders,
taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings.
In the event a deficiency action is available against the Mortgagor or any other
person, CMSI may proceed for the deficiency. The Servicer
61
or Master Servicer may retain twenty-five percent of the net proceeds received
from a Mortgagor pursuant to a deficiency action as compensation for entering
into such deficiency action. Foreclosure on shares issued by cooperative housing
corporations shall be by sale in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the applicable jurisdiction.
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee on behalf of the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related
Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01) be
considered to be an Outstanding Mortgage Loan such time as the Mortgaged
Property shall be sold and such Mortgage Loan becomes a Liquidated Loan.
Consistent with the foregoing for purposes of all calculations hereunder so long
as such Mortgage Loan shall be considered to be an Outstanding Mortgage Loan, it
shall be assumed that the related Mortgage Note and its amortization schedule in
effect on and after such 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 evidence by such Mortgage Note shall have
been discharged), subject to adjustment to reflect the application of REO
Proceeds received in any month. Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be
deemed to have been received first in payment of the accrued interest that
remained unpaid on the date that such Mortgage Loan became an REO Mortgage Loan,
with the excess thereof, if any, being deemed to have been received in respect
of the delinquent principal installments that remained unpaid on such date.
Thereafter, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the
payment of installments of principal and accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan
deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note
and such amortization schedule. If such Net REO Proceeds exceed the then
delinquent principal and interest installments on such Mortgage Loan, the excess
shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment received in respect of such Mortgage
Loan.
In connection with any Liquidated Loan as to which CMSI has accepted a
deed in lieu of foreclosure, CMSI shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior
to the close of the third calendar year beginning after the year of acquisition
by the applicable Constituent REMIC unless (i) the Trustee shall have been
supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the
applicable Constituent REMIC of such 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 Code Section 860F,
or cause any of the Constituent REMICs to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any CitiCertificates 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 (ii) CMSI shall have
applied for, prior to the expiration of such period, an extension of such period
in the manner contemplated by Code Section 856(e)(3), in which case such period
shall 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 shall be (x)
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 at any time as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
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 Code Section
860G(c), or (3) cause the sale of such Mortgaged Property to result in the
receipt by any of the applicable Constituent REMICs of any income from
non-permitted assets as described in Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B) or (y) sold in
such manner or pursuant to any 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 Code Section 860G(c), unless
62
CMSI has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless each Constituent REMIC with
respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which
property subject to a Mortgage shall have suffered damage, whether from an
Uninsured Cause or otherwise, CMSI shall not be required to expend its own funds
in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of such property
unless it shall determine in its discretion (a) that such restoration and/or
foreclosure will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan to the Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such
expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by CMSI through either
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds (with respect to each of which it
shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.16 from the related property, as contemplated in Section
3.16.) CMSI shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it
in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section
3.16. Notwithstanding the above, CMSI shall not be entitled to recover legal
expenses incurred in connection with liquidation proceedings where the Mortgagor
pays all delinquent payments and expenses and such proceedings are terminated
prior to liquidation, other than sums received from the Mortgagor for such
expenses.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
3.21, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to foreclose upon or otherwise
convert the ownership of any Mortgaged Property which it believes may be
contaminated with or affected by pollutants, contamination, hazardous wastes or
hazardous substances. The Servicer shall not be liable to the Certificateholders
if, based on its belief that no such contamination or effect exists, the
Servicer forecloses on a Mortgaged Property and takes title to such Mortgaged
Property, and thereafter such Mortgaged Property is determined to be so
contaminated or affected.
In the event CMSI does not elect to foreclose on a Mortgaged Property,
CMSI may, in the exercise of its judgment, elect to accept a payment or
payments, in connection with the sale by the Mortgagor of such Mortgaged
Property or the retention by the Mortgagor of such Mortgaged Property, in
aggregate amount less than the outstanding balance of the related Mortgage Loan
and accrued interest thereon.
The Trustee shall furnish CMSI with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary, or appropriate to enable CMSI to carry out its efforts in
realizing upon defaulted Mortgage Loans hereunder.
Section 3.22. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or upon the receipt by CMSI of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purpose, CMSI will immediately notify the Trustee by a certification (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received,
and all amounts required to be paid by CMSI pursuant to either Section 3.03 or
3.14 hereof, in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited
to the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.14 have been or will be
so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee shall
promptly direct the Mortgage Document Custodian to release the related Mortgage
Documents to CMSI. Upon any such payment in full, CMSI is authorized to execute,
pursuant to the authorization contained in Section 3.10, 3.11 or 3.14 as
applicable, an instrument of satisfaction regarding such Mortgage, which
instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by CMSI if required by applicable
law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto, it being understood and
agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of
satisfaction shall be withdrawn from the Certificate Account. From time to time
and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
including for this purpose collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Certificate, the Trustee shall, upon request of CMSI and delivery to the Trustee
of a receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, direct the Mortgage Document
Custodian to release the related Mortgage Documents to CMSI and shall execute
such
63
documents furnished to the Trustee as shall be necessary to the prosecution
of any such proceedings. Such receipt shall obligate CMSI to return the Mortgage
Documents to the Trustee or the Mortgage Document Custodian, as the case may be,
when the need therefor by CMSI no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall
have been prepaid or liquidated in the interim, in which case, upon receipt of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified to such
effect, the receipt shall be released by the Trustee to CMSI.
Section 3.23. Servicing Fee, Payment of Certain Expenses by CMSI. In
lieu of receiving the Servicing Fee for the Affiliated Mortgage Loans pursuant
to Section 3.04(c), CMSI as Servicer shall be entitled, prior to the payment of
the amounts described in Section 3.04(b), to withhold and pay to itself out of
each payment received by it on account of interest on each Affiliated Mortgage
Loan (subject to the other provisions of this Section) up to an amount which,
when deducted, will make the portion of interest on each Affiliated Mortgage
Loan being deposited in the Certificate Account for the applicable period equal
to the Pass-Through Rate. In addition, CMSI shall be entitled to receive the

Article XII. Prepayment charges, assumption fees, late payment or other similar
charges shall be retained by CMSI as additional servicing compensation. Any
amounts that CMSI shall be required to deposit in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.25 shall be deemed to reduce the Servicing Fee to which
CMSI is entitled pursuant to this Section.
The Third Party Master Servicer, as compensation for its activities,
shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date an amount with respect to
each Third Party Mortgage Loan as to which a monthly installment of principal
and interest has been received equal to one-twelfth of the Third Party Master
Servicing Fee Rate for such Mortgage Loan multiplied by the Adjusted Balance on
which such installment of interest accrued.

Agreements, each Third Party Servicer shall be entitled to an amount with
respect to each Third Party Mortgage Loan as to which a monthly installment of

of premiums for Primary Mortgage Insurance Certificates, if required) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in the
Third Party Servicing Agreement and not inconsistent with this Agreement.

equal to the difference between (a) the product of (i) all such Principal
Prepayments related to the Affiliated Mortgage Loans received in the month prior
to the month in which the Distribution Date for such Determination Date falls
and (ii) the Pass-Through Rate divided by (iii) twelve (calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year, each month being assumed to have 30 days) less (b) the amount
of interest on such Principal Prepayments related to the Affiliated Mortgage
Loans required to be paid by the Mortgagors (adjusted to the Pass-Through Rate).
Such deposit shall be paid from, and limited to, the Servicing Fee received with
respect to scheduled interest payments due on the Affiliated Mortgage Loans on
the Due Date in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs or Principal
Prepayments related to the Affiliated Mortgage Loans received in the preceding
calendar month and other Servicing Fees received with respect to the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such deposit
shall be applied first to interest with respect to partial Principal Prepayments
related to the Affiliated Mortgage Loans and second to interest with respect to
Principal Prepayments related to the Affiliated Mortgage Loans in full. No such
deposit shall be considered to be a Voluntary Advance by CMSI or be reimbursable
to CMSI, from cash in the Certificate Account or otherwise.
For each Third Party Mortgage Loan CMSI, as Master Servicer shall cause
to be deposited an amount equal to (x) the amount by which the annual interest
at the related Mortgage Note Rate (net of the related Expense Rate) on the
prepaid Adjusted Balance of such Third Party Mortgage Loan divided by twelve
exceeds (y) the interest paid by Mortgagor from the due date of the last
scheduled payment of principal and interest on such Mortgage Loan to the date of
such prepayment (adjusted to the Mortgage Note Rate (net of the related Expense
Rate). Not later than the Distribution Date immediately succeeding such

from its own funds the amount determined by aggregating, for each such Mortgage
Loan for which the amount determined pursuant to (x) above exceeds the amount
determined pursuant to (y) above, the amount of each such excess, but only to
the extent of (and in reduction of) the Master Servicer Fee payable to it
pursuant to Section 3.23 for the calendar month in which such prepaid principal
balance is received.
Section 3.26. Refinancings of Mortgage Loans. In addition to waivers
and arrangements permitted by Section 3.01, CMSI reserves the right to offer
refinancings of any Affiliated Mortgage Loan or Third Party Mortgage Loan, if
such refinancing arises out of a request by the related Mortgagor for a
refinancing or a modification, or for other relief from the provisions of the
related Mortgage Loan.
On the Deposit Date in the month next following the effective date of
the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section, CMSI shall
deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Collection Account an amount equal
to the prepayment in full of such Mortgage Loan (net of all Voluntary Advances
and Trustee Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, which shall be
reimbursed to the Trustee or deemed reimbursed to CMSI, as the case may be) and,
upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of
65
such deposit signed by an Authorized Officer of CMSI, the related Mortgage File
shall be released, and the Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section
3.22.
For the purposes of this Section, a "refinancing" will include any
process with a Mortgagor that results in the refinanced Mortgage Loan be
identified and serviced as a "new mortgage loan" in the books, records and
servicing files of the Servicer.

or any portion of a Residual Certificate may be transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a "disqualified organization" win the meaning of 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 shall
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

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 or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder, 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.

Residual Certificate has been transferred, directly or indirectly, to a
disqualified organization or an Agent in contravention of the foregoing
restrictions, the Trustee shall furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and the
transferor of such Residual
68
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 Code Section
860E(e) as may be required by the Code, including but not limited to the present
value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to 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 shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information. Every
holder of a Residual Certificate shall be deemed to have consented to such
amendments to the Pooling 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 shall also contain

that the transferor has no knowledge or reason to know that the statements made
by the transferee with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding
sentence are false. Each Residual Certificate shall bear a legend referring to
the restrictions contained in this paragraph and the preceding paragraph.

may be made unless such Private Certificate has been registered under the Act
and applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, or an exemption from the Act

not accept surrender for transfer or registration of transfer of, or register
the transfer of, any Private Certificate and (2) CMSI shall not execute, and the

requirements of the Act and applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws are
available, and the transferee delivers to the Issuer and the Trustee a letter
substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit E to this Agreement and (1) if
such transferee is not a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" within the meaning of
Rule 144A of the Act, and if so requested by CMSI, in its sole discretion, an
opinion of counsel acceptable to CMSI shall have been delivered to CMSI and the
Trustee to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with either subclause
(A) or subclause (B) of this clause (i) of this Section 5.02; 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 Act), has a net worth
(exclusive of primary residence) of at least $1,000,000 as confirmed in writing

any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
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 Code (collectively, a
"Plan") or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such purchase or (b) as
to the Class M or Class B CitiCertificates only, it is an insurance company and
the source of funds used to purchase the Class M CitiCertificates or the Class B
CitiCertificates is an "insurance company general account" (as such term is
defined in 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 with respect
to 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
69
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 or
(ii) provides (A) an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Issuer that the purchase or holding of ERISA Restricted
CitiCertificate 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 Code or Similar Law and will not subject
the Master Servicer, Servicer, CMSI or the Trustee to any obligation in addition
to those undertaken in this Agreement and (B) such other opinions of counsel,
officers' certificates and agreements as Citicorp, CMSI or the Trustee may
require in connection with such transfer.

Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to CMSI, the

required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee that such Certificate has been

Authenticating Agent shall 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 Amount, initial notional amount or Percentage
Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 5.03, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued on

Trustee, (ii) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with
other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or
under the Certificates and (iii) provide a copy of the communication which such

receipt of such Certificateholders' request, the Trustee shall promptly request
from CMSI or the Certificate Registrar a current list and shall afford such
Certificateholders access to such list promptly upon its receipt by the Trustee.

Section 7.01. Events of Default. If any one of the following events
("Events of Default") shall occur and be continuing:
(a) Any failure by CMSI, if CMSI is the Paying Agent, to
distribute to Certificateholders any payment required under the terms of this
Agreement (including any payment required to be made by CMSI pursuant to Section

paid over to the Paying Agent for such distribution, any payment so required or
to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account any payment
required to be made under the terms of this Agreement (including any payment
required to be made by CMSI pursuant to Section 3.25 hereof) which failure
continues unremedied for a period of (A) 10 Business Days after the date on
which written notice of such failure shall have been given to CMSI by or on
behalf of the Trustee, or to CMSI and the Trustee, by the Holders of the
Required Amount of the Certificates if CMSI falls to distribute or remit the
full amount of a required payment as the result of an error in calculating the
amount of such required payment or (B) 3 Business Days after written notice of
such failure shall have been given to CMSI as provided above if CMSI falls to
distribute or remit the full amount of a required payment for any reason other
than as a result of an error in calculation; or
(b) Failure on the part of CMSI to repurchase any Mortgage Loan as
required pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or to reimburse any Trustee Advance as
required pursuant to 8.13 hereof which continues unremedied for a period of 60
Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall
have been given to CMSI by or on behalf of the Trustee, or to CMSI and the
Trustee, by the Holders of the Required Amount of Certificates; or
(c) Failure on the part of CMSI duty to observe or perform in any
material respect any other covenants or agreements of CMSI set forth in the
Certificates or in this Agreement, which failure (A) materially affects the
rights of the Certificateholders and (B) continues unremedied for a period of 60
Business Days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring
the same to be remedied, shall have been given to CMSI by or on behalf of the
Trustee, or to CMSI and the Trustee, by the Holders of the Required Amount of
CitiCertificates; or
(d) The entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of
a conservator, receiver or liquidator for CMSI in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree
or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(e) CMSI shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to CMSI or of or
relating to substantially all of its property, or CMSI shall admit in writing
its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to
take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of
its obligations;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, the Trustee or the Holders of the Required Amount of
Certificates, by notice then given in writing to CMSI (and to the Trustee if
given by the Certificateholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations
of CMSI as Servicer of the Affiliated Mortgage Loans and as Master Servicer of
the Third Party Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. On and after the receipt by
CMSI of such written notice, all authority and power of CMSI under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of CMSI as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise,
73
any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Mortgage
Loans and related documents or otherwise. CMSI agrees to cooperate with the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of CMSI
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor servicer
for the administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held
by CMSI for deposit, or have been deposited by CMSI, in the Certificate Account
or Servicing Account or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. In addition to any other amounts which are then payable, or,
notwithstanding the termination of its activities as servicer and master
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, may become payable to CMSI under this Agreement
CMSI shall be entitled to receive out of any delinquent payment on account of
interest on a Mortgage Loan, due during the period prior to the notice pursuant
to this Section 7.01 which terminates the obligation and rights of CMSI
hereunder and received after such notice, that portion of such payment which it
would have received if such notice had not been given.
Section 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after
the time CMSI receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the
Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to CMSI in its capacity as
servicer and master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties,
limitations on liabilities and liabilities relating thereto placed on CMSI by
the terms and provisions hereof As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall,
except as provided in Section 7.01, be entitled to such compensation (whether
payable out of the Certificate Account or otherwise) as CMSI would have been
entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given.
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act,
or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing finance institution
having a net worth of not less than $5,000,000 and approved as seller/servicer
by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC as the successor to CMSI hereunder in the assumption of
all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of CMSI
hereunder. The Trustee or successor to CMSI appointed hereunder shall not,
however, be required to advance funds held in the Certificate Account or
elsewhere, or to repurchase Mortgage Loans. Pending appointment of a successor
to CMSI hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the
Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
be in excess of that permitted CMSI hereunder. The Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession.
Any successor to CMSI as servicer and master servicer shall during the
term of its service as servicer and Master Servicer maintain in force the policy
or policies which CMSI is required to maintain pursuant to Section 6.07.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any, termination
or appointment of a successor to CMSI pursuant to this Article VII, the Trustee
shall give or cause to be given prompt written notice thereof to the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.

THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Duties of the Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default
which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and
74
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of
Default has occurred (which has not been cured), the Trustee shall exercise such
of the 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 or use
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 or are not prudent in the circumstances, to the
extent applicable, the Trustee shall consider the matters enumerated in Section
126(2)(a) through (e) of the New York Real Property Law, as such law is in
effect on the date of this Agreement, and in addition, the Trustee shall comply
with the provisions of subdivisions (3),(4) and (5) of Section 126 of the New
York Real Property Law, as such law is in effect on the date of this Agreement,
which provisions are hereby incorporated by reference in this Agreement if
herein set forth in full.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(a) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon if any certificates, statements, or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement;
(b) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it
shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts;
(c) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith 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;
(d) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default
(other than a default in payment to the Trustee) specified in clauses (i), (ii)
and (iii) of Section 7.01 or an Event of Default under clause (iv) or (v) unless
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate
Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives
written notice of such failure at its Corporate Trust Office from CMSI or the
Holders of the Required Amount of Certificates.
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, mid
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
of the obligations of CMSI under this Agreement, except during such time, if
any, as the Trustee shall be the
75
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of,
CMSI in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting, or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate
of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instruments, opinion. report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(c) Whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Trustee
or its agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, including any
action by the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof, the Trustee or its agent
(unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may request and, in
the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon any Officer's Certificate;
(d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs;
(e) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement;
(f) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval bond or other paper or documents, unless
requested in writing so to do by the Holders of the Required Amount of
Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to
the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in
the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost,
expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense
of every such examination shall be paid by CMSI or, if paid by the Trustee,
shall be reimbursed by CMSI upon demand. Nothing in this clause (vi) shall
derogate the obligation of CMSI to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;
(g) The Trustee may appoint agents (which may include the Issuer
and its affiliates) to perform any of the responsibilities of the Trustee, which
agents shall have any or all of the rights, powers, duties and
76
obligations of the Trustee conferred on them by such appointment, provided that
the Trustee shall continue to be responsible for its duties and obligations
under this Agreement; and
(h) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the selection of the
Mortgage Document Custodian or Mortgage Note Custodian, nor for the acts or
omissions by either of them in performance of their respective responsibilities
and obligations specified herein or in the Mortgage Document Custodial Agreement
or any other applicable agreement.
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
certificate of authentication on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of CMSI 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 certificate of authentication on the
Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by CMSI of any of the Certificates or
of the proceeds of such Certificates or for the use or application of any funds
paid to CMSI in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from
the Certificate Account or Servicing Account by CMSI. The Trustee shall have no
liability for any losses incurred as a result of (i) any failure of the Trust
Fund to qualify as the specified separate Constituent REMICs, (ii) any
termination, inadvertent or otherwise, of the status of the Trust Fund as the
specified separate Constituent REMICs, (iii) any tax on prohibited transactions
imposed by Code Section 860F(a)(1), (iv) any tax on net income from foreclosure
property imposed by Code Section 860G(c), (v) any tax on contributions to any
Constituent REMIC after the Startup Day imposed by Code Section 860G(d), (vi)
any erroneous calculation or determination or any act or omission of CMSI
hereunder or (vii) any erroneous information included in any federal, state or
local income tax or information return prepared pursuant to Section 3.06;
provided, that the Trustee shall not be excused hereby from liability for its
own negligence, bad faith or failure to perform its duties as specified herein.
Section 8.04. 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 CMSI or any of its Affiliates as if it were not the
Trustee.
Section 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses. Trustee's fees and expenses
(and those of any co-trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.10), any
Co-Certificate Registrar, any Mortgage Document, Custodian, Depository, any
Co-Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.12 and
any agent of the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.02(g) shall be paid by
CMSI, as Servicer, in accordance with Article XII. In consideration of paying
the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.05, CMSI may retain the Trustee
Fee payable with respect to the Third Party Mortgage Loans. The Trustee (and any
such co-trustee) shall be entitled to reasonable compensation (which shall 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 CMSI, the Trustee
will be paid or reimbursed by CMSI 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
Certificateholders hereunder.
The Trustee, each Co-Certificate Registrar, each Note Custodian, each
Mortgage Document Custodian, each Depository, each Co-Paying Agent, each
Authenticating Agent and any agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.02 are
entitled to indemnification from CMSI, as Servicer or Master Servicer, and will
77
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 shall survive the payment of the Certificates
and termination of the Trust Fund, as well as the resignation or removal of CMSI
as Servicer (if such action which caused the need for the indemnification
occurred while CMSI 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 shall be imputed to, or adversely affect, the right of any
other enumerated person to be entitled to indemnification.
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national banking association,
other than an Affiliate of CMSI, having its principal office in the same state
as that in which the initial Trustee under this Agreement has its principal
office (or in the State of New York) and organized and doing business under the
laws of such State or the United States of America, authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $30,000,000 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 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or national
banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any
time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written
notice thereof to CMSI. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, CMSI shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument , in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall 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 Xxxxxxx.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provision of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by CMSI, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable
to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conversion or liquidation, then CMSI may remove the Trustee.
If it removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding
sentence, CMSI shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument,
in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.
The Trustee may also be removed at any time (i) by the Issuer, (a) if
the Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as such under the Pooling
Agreement or if the Trustee becomes insolvent, (b) if the Trustee breaches any
of its duties under the Pooling Agreement which materially adversely affects the
Certificateholders, (c) if through the performance or nonperformance of certain
actions by the Trustee, the rating assigned to the CitiCertificates 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 CitiCertificates to be lowered;
or (ii) by the holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting
Interest of the CitiCertificates then outstanding and more than 50% of the
Percentage Interests of the Residual Certificates.
78
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to CMSI and to
its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder
(including the duties of the Trustee, in its individual capacity, as stated in
Section 8.13 and, if applicable, Section 8.14 herein), and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
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 shall 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 Custodial Agreement,
the predecessor Trustee and the Mortgage Note Custodian or the Mortgage Document
Custodian, as the case may be, shall amend such Custodial Agreement to make the
successor Trustee the successor to the predecessor Trustee thereunder; and CMSI
and the predecessor Trustee shall 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 shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, CMSI shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register. If CMSI fails to mail such notice within 10 days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of CMSI.
Section 8.09. 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 shall be a party, or any corporation or national banking association
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation or national banking association shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06, 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.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, 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, CMSI and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
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 part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, 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 CMSI and the Trustee may consider necessary
and desirable. If CMSI shall 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 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee
79
under Section 8.06 and no notice to the Certificateholders of the appointment of
any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, 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 shall 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 CMSI hereunder), the
Trustee shall 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)
shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(b) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(c) CMSI and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the
resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall 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 shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall 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 shall be filed with the Trustee and a
copy thereof given to CMSI.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, 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
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11. Tax Returns. The Trustee, upon request, will furnish CMSI
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 shall sign the federal and, if applicable,
state and local income tax returns of each Constituent REMIC.
Section 8.12. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any
of the Certificates remain outstanding the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating
Agent or Agents (which may include CMSI or any of its affiliates) which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Certificates, and
Certificates so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefit of this Agreement
and shall 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
certificate of
80
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and
delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate
of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to CMSI and shall 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 $15,000,000, authorized under such
laws to do 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 shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.12, such Authenticating
Agent shall 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 shall
be a party, or any corporation or national banking association succeeding to the
corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall
continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation or national
banking association shall 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

(in its individual capacity and not as Trustee) shall deposit funds equal to the
Delinquent Amount for the related Determination Date into the Certificate
Account; provided that the Trustee (in such individual capacity) shall be
obligated to make such deposit only to the extent of funds determined by it (in
its sole discretion) to be recoverable from future Remittances, Net Recoveries
and other proceeds or collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans,
provided, however, the Trustee may only recover funds for Delinquent Amounts
relating to Third Party Mortgage Loans or Affiliated Mortgage Loans from
Remittances, Net Recoveries and other proceeds relating to Third Party Mortgage
Loans or Affiliated Mortgage Loans, respectively. CMSI shall pay to the Trustee
a servicing administration fee of $100 in respect of each Deposit Date on which

Trustee for the amount of any such deposit on the Business Day CMSI receives
notice from the Trustee of the amount thereof, provided that if such notice is
received after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, such
reimbursement shall be made to the Trustee on the next following Business Day,
not later than 1:00 p.m. To the extent the Trustee receives an amount on or in
respect of the Third Party Mortgage Loans or Affiliated Mortgage Loans,

capacity) shall reimburse CMSI for the amount of Third Party Trustee Advances or
Affiliated Trustee Advances not so recovered and repaid to CMSI on the next
Business Day after its receipt of notice thereof. CMSI shall furnish to the
Trustee such information within CMSI's possession with respect to the Mortgage
Loans as the Trustee may require, in order to make a determination that any
advance made by the Trustee will be recoverable.
Section 8.14. Advance Account, Trustee Failure Advances. If the
Advance Account Trigger Applicability is specified in Article XII as applicable
to the CitiCertificates, then:
(a) In the event that an Advance Account Trigger Date occurs, the
Servicer will notify the Trustee in writing of such occurrence and, the
Servicer, the Trustee, in both its individual capacity and as Trustee, shall
enter into an agreement in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
with the Advance Account Depository on or prior to the Advance Account Funding
Date. The Advance Account shall be in the name of the Advance Account
Depository, as trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and the Trustee, in its
individual capacity, and its permitted successors in interest ("permitted
successors"), as their interest may appear.
(b) On or prior to the Advance Account Funding Date, the Trustee,
in its individual capacity, shall pay to the Advance Account Depository, for
deposit into the Advance Account an amount in cash equal to (i) the product of
(A) 0.20% and (B) the Adjusted Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the close of
business on the Advance Account Trigger Date or (ii) such lesser amount as
Moody's may specify.
(c) The Trustee shall, no later than 3:00 p.m., New York time, on
the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date occurring subsequent to the

the Advance Account Depository requesting a Trustee Failure Advance from the
Advance Account.

Account Advance from future Remittances, Net Recoveries or other proceeds or
collections or in respect of the Third Party Mortgage Loans or Affiliated
Mortgage Loans, as provided for in this Agreement (the aggregate of such amounts
as to any Distribution Date, the "Advance Account Reimbursement Amount").
(e) On or before each Distribution Date occurring on or after the
Advance Account Funding Date, the Servicer shall pay, to the extent of funds
available, to the Advance Account by wire transfer of immediately available
funds the Advance Account Reimbursement Amount with respect to such Distribution
Date as provided in the Agreement.
(f) On each Distribution Date, the amount in the Advance Account
will be reduced and released to the extent permitted in the Advance Account
Depository Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an alternative method of
limited support for the Trustee's obligation to make advances in respect of the
Mortgage Loans may be provided, if such change does not cause the then current
ratings of the CitiCertificates or any outstanding Class or Subclass thereof to
be lowered by Moody's.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01. Termination upon Repurchase by CMSI or Liquidation of all
Mortgage Loans. The respective obligations and responsibilities of CMSI and the
Trustee created hereby and the Trust Fund created hereby shall 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 at a price
equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Adjusted 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) plus accrued interest at the Investor Rate for
each Mortgage Loan to but not including the Due Date in the month in which the
related distribution is made to Certificateholders, after the deduction of
unreimbursed Voluntary Advances, Advance Account Advances (other than such
payments and advances in respect of interest in excess of the Investor Rate on
the Mortgage Loans, Third Party Trustee Advances and Affiliated Trustee Advances
made prior to the month of repurchase, whereupon such Voluntary Advances,
Advance Account Advances Third Party Trustee Advances and Affiliated Trustee
Advances will be reimbursed to the Trustee or deemed reimbursed to CMSI, as the
case may be, by such deductions, and (ii) the appraised value of any acquired
property in the Trust Fund (less the good faith estimate of CMSI of liquidation
expenses to be incurred in connection with its disposal thereof), such appraisal
to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by CMSI and the Trustee, 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 Certificateholders
and to the Insurer, as subrogee of any Insured Certificates, of all amounts
required to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that
in no event shall 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. Such termination shall occur only
in connection with a "qualified liquidation" of each Constituent REMIC within
the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A), pursuant to which the Trustee shall
sell or otherwise dispose of all of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund and
make all required distributions to Certificateholders within 90 days of the
adoption of a plan of complete liquidation. For this purpose, the notice of
termination described in the next paragraph shall be the adoption of a plan of
complete liquidation described in Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A)(i), which shall be
deemed to occur on the date the first such notice is mailed. Such date shall be
specified in the final federal income tax return of each Constituent REMIC
constituted by the Trust Fund. The right of CMSI to repurchase all of the
Mortgage Loans on any Distribution Date pursuant to clause (a) above shall be
conditioned upon (A) the aggregate Adjusted Balances of such Mortgage Loans, at
the time of any such repurchase and after giving effect to distributions to be
made on such Distribution Date, aggregating an amount less than 5% of the
aggregate Adjusted Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, which
amount is set forth in Article XII and (B) any other condition set forth in the
related Pooling Agreement. Any other method of termination or repurchase of the
Trust Fund than as set forth 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 Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A), will
not adversely affect the status of the Trust Fund as the separate Constituent
REMICs under the Code and will not otherwise subject the Trust Fund to any tax.
CMSI shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to transfer its
right to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to clause (a) above to
any third party of choice.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
the Trustee by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than 30 days
nor more than 60
84
days prior to such Distribution Date specifying (A) the Distribution Date upon
which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation arid
surrender of the Certificates at the office therein designated, (B) the amount
of such final payment and (C) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein
specified. CMSI shall give such notice to the Trustee and, if applicable, the
Certificate Registrar, the Mortgage Document Custodian and the Paying Agent at
the time such notice given to the Certificateholders. In the event such notice
is given, CMSI shall deposit in the Certificate Account or the account
designated by the Paying Agent if CMSI is not the Paying Agent, on the Business
Day next preceding the Distribution Date with respect to such final
distribution, an amount equal to the final payment in respect of 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 Article IX have been met, the
Trustee shall promptly release to CMSI the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage
Loans. Any such repurchase shall occur only during the month of, and prior to
the Determination Date relating to, the Distribution Date on which such amounts
will be distributed to Certificateholders.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified
in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may
appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject
hereto. Interest shall 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 herewith.

the day a Depository or CMSI, as the case may be, pledges securities pursuant to
this subsection (C), CMSI, any Insurer and the Trustee shall 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 CitiCertificates (with respect
to any Insured Certificates, without reference to the 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, CMSI, any Insurer and the
Trustee shall have received 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
89
credit or some other form of credit support will not result in a reduction or
