and as Trustee (the "Trustee"), and Citibank, N.A., in its individual capacity
and as Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Authentication Agent, relating to
the issuance of Citicorp Mortgage Securities Trust, Series 2008-1 REMIC
Pass-Through Certificates class A, class B and residual
certificates.  Terms used without definition herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling Agreement or, if not defined
therein, in the Senior Underwriting Agreement dated January 10, 2008 among CMSI,
Citigroup Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the "Senior Underwriter") (the
"Senior Underwriting Agreement") and in the Subordinated Underwriting Agreement
dated February 20, 2008 among CMSI, Citigroup Inc. and Banc of America
Securities LLC (the "Subordinated Underwriter" and, together with the Senior
Underwriter, the "Underwriters") (the "Subordinated Underwriting Agreement" and,
together with the Senior Underwriting Agreement, the "Underwriting
Agreements").

      


      1.           Purchase
Price.  The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the
mortgage loans shall consist of (a) cash in the amount of __________% of the
aggregate scheduled principal balance thereof as of the cut-off date, plus
accrued interest thereon at the rate of 6.25% per annum on the mortgage loans in
pool I and 5.75% per annum on the mortgage loans in pool II, from and including
the cut-off date to but excluding the closing date, (b) the class IA-IO and
IIA-IO certificates, (c) the class LR certificates, and (d) the class PR
certificates.  Such cash shall be payable by CMSI to the Seller on the
closing date in same-day funds, and the Seller will receive on the closing date:
(a) the class IA-IO and IIA-IO certificates and (b) the class LR and class PR
certificates evidencing the residual interests in the lower-tier REMIC and the
pooling REMIC, respectively.  If CMSI for any reason shall repay to
any Underwriter any portion of the price paid to CMSI by any Underwriter
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements, the Seller shall simultaneously and in
the same manner repay to CMSI a proportionate amount of the Purchase Price as
such repayment to any Underwriter.

      


      Upon
payment of the Purchase Price, the Seller shall transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to CMSI without recourse all of the Seller's right, title and
interest in and to the mortgage loans, including all interest and principal
received or receivable by the Seller on or with respect to the mortgage loans
(other than payments of principal and interest due and payable on the mortgage
loans on or before the cut-off date and prepayments of principal on the mortgage
loans received or posted prior to the close of business on the cut-off date),
together with all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
proceeds of any related title, hazard or other insurance policies and Primary
Mortgage Insurance Certificates.  The Seller agrees to deliver to CMSI
all documents, instruments and agreements required to be delivered by CMSI to
the Trustee under the Pooling Agreement and such other documents, instruments
and agreements as CMSI shall reasonably request.

      CMSI
hereby directs the Seller to execute and deliver to the Trustee assignments of
the Mortgages to the Trustee (and endorsements of any Mortgage Notes relating
thereto) in recordable form.  Such assignments and endorsements shall
not affect the rights of the parties hereto or to the Pooling
Agreement.

      


      2.           Representations.  The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to CMSI (i) that CMSI's representations
and warranties pursuant to the Pooling Agreement to the Trustee with respect to
the mortgage loans are true and correct and (ii) that the Seller has not dealt
with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than CMSI and
the Underwriters) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in
connection with the sale of the related mortgage loans.  The Seller
hereby agrees to cure any breach of such representations and warranties in
accordance with the terms of the Pooling Agreement.

      


      3.      Underwriting.  The
Seller hereby agrees to furnish any and all information, documents,
certificates, letters or opinions reasonably requested by CMSI in order to
perform any of its obligations or satisfy any of the conditions on its part to
be performed or satisfied at or prior to the closing date.

      


      4.      Costs.  CMSI
shall pay all expenses incidental to the performance of its obligations under
the Underwriting Agreements, including without limitation (i) any recording fees
or fees for title policy endorsements and continuations, (ii) the expenses of
preparing, printing and reproducing the Registration Statement, the Prospectus,
the Underwriting Agreements, the Pooling Agreement and the certificates and
(iii) the cost of delivering the certificates to the offices of The Depository
Trust Company or the Underwriters, as the case may be.

      


      5.      Indemnification.  The
Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless CMSI against any and
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) resulting from the Seller's
failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) resulting from the
inaccuracy of the Seller's representations and warranties herein or of CMSI's
representations and warranties in the Pooling Agreement or (iii) insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or demands for reimbursement
or contribution in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon information
relating to the Seller or the mortgage loans pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreements.

      


      6.      Purchase and Sale; Security
Interest.  The parties hereto intend the conveyance by the
Seller to CMSI of all of its right, title and interest in and to the mortgage
loans pursuant to this Agreement to constitute a purchase and sale and not a
loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such conveyance is held
not to constitute a sale under applicable law, it is intended that this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and that
the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to CMSI a first priority security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the mortgage
loans.

      


      7.      Notices.  All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be
effective only upon receipt and shall, if sent to CMSI be addressed to it at
1000 Technology Drive, O’Fallon, Missouri 63368, Attn: Daniel P. Hoffman or if
sent to Seller be addressed to it at 1000 Technology Drive, O’Fallon, Missouri

Beneficiary.  The representations and agreements made by the
Seller in this Agreement are made for the benefit of, and may be enforced by,

the Pooling Agreement in respect of representations and agreements made by CMSI
therein.

State of New York.  Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a writing signed by the
party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought.  This Agreement may not be changed in any manner which
would have a material adverse affect on holders of any class of certificates
without the prior written consent of the Trustee.  The Trustee shall
be protected in consenting to any such change to the same extent provided in
section 10 of the Pooling Agreement. This Agreement may be signed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, which taken together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement shall

their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that this
Agreement cannot be assigned by either party without the consent of the other
party hereto, and any assignment hereof without such consent shall be
void.
