MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"), is dated and effective as of June 1, 2003, between KeyBank National Association, a national banking corporation ("KeyBank"), as seller (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the "Seller"), and Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation ("CSFB Mortgage Securities"), as purchaser (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the "Purchaser"). RECITALS KeyBank desires to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to CSFB Mortgage Securities, without recourse, and CSFB Mortgage Securities desires to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (collectively, the "Mortgage Loans") identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule"), as such schedule may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof. CSFB Mortgage Securities intends to create a trust (the "Trust"), the primary assets of which will be a segregated pool of multifamily and commercial mortgage loans that includes the Mortgage Loans. Beneficial ownership of the assets of the Trust (such assets collectively, the "Trust Fund") will be evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the "Certificates"). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Fitch, Inc. and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (together, the "Rating Agencies"). The Trust will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement dated as of June 1, 2003 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among CSFB Mortgage Securities as depositor, KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets, Inc., as master servicer of the mortgage loans other than those contributed to the Trust Fund by NCB, FSB, ARCap Servicing, Inc., as special servicer of mortgage loans that are not residential cooperative mortgage loans, NCB, FSB, as master servicer of the mortgage loans contributed to the Trust Fund by NCB, FSB, National Consumer Cooperative Bank, as special servicer of the residential cooperative mortgage loans, and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as trustee. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1 hereof). It is anticipated that CSFB Mortgage Securities will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trust contemporaneously with its purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder. CSFB Mortgage Securities intends to sell certain classes of the Certificates (collectively, the "Publicly Offered Certificates") to Credit Suisse First Boston LLC ("CSFB LLC") and the other underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below) (collectively in such capacity, the "Underwriters"), pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated as of June 17, 2003 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), among CSFB Mortgage Securities and the Underwriters, and CSFB Mortgage Securities intends to sell certain classes of the remaining Certificates (the "Privately Offered Certificates") to CSFB LLC, pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement dated as of June 17, 2003 (the "Certificate Purchase Agreement"), between CSFB Mortgage Securities and CSFB LLC. The Publicly Offered Certificates are more fully described in a prospectus dated June 3, 2003 (the "Base Prospectus"), and the supplement to the Base Prospectus dated June 17, 2003 (the "Prospectus Supplement" and, together with the Base Prospectus, the "Prospectus"), as each may be amended or supplemented with the express written consent of the Seller at any time hereafter. The Privately Offered Certificates are more fully described in a confidential offering circular dated June 17, 2003 (the "Confidential Offering Circular"), as it may be amended or supplemented with the express written consent of the Seller at any time hereafter. KeyBank will indemnify CSFB Mortgage Securities, CSFB LLC, the other Underwriters and certain related parties with respect to the disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans contained in the Prospectus, the Confidential Offering Circular and certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement dated as of June 17, 2003 (the "Indemnification Agreement"), among KeyBank, CSFB Mortgage Securities, CSFB LLC, both as an Underwriter and as initial purchaser of the Privately Offered Certificates, and the other Underwriters. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: Section 1. Agreement to Purchase. The Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Seller, subject to the Seller's transfer of the related servicing rights as provided in the Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement dated as of June 1, 2003 (the "Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement") between the Seller and the applicable Master Servicer and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on June 27, 2003 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the "Closing Date"). As of the close of business on the respective Due Dates for the Mortgage Loans in June 2003 (individually and collectively, the "Cut-off Date"), the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received, of $149,918,661, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall consist of cash in the amount specified in the Settlement Statement (as defined in Section 8 hereof), which cash amount includes accrued interest on the Mortgage Loans at their respective Mortgage Rates from and including June 1, 2003 to but not including the Closing Date, and which cash amount the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto. Section 2. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Seller's obligations set forth herein, the Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, subject to the Seller's transfer of the related servicing rights as provided in the Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, without recourse, all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before the Cut-off Date), together with all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the proceeds of any related title, hazard or other insurance policies and any escrow, reserve or other comparable accounts related to the Mortgage Loans. (b) The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after the Cut-off Date (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date, which shall belong to the Seller). (c) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall, at its expense, subject to Section 18, deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Purchaser or its designee the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral (other than reserve funds and escrow payments) with respect to each Mortgage Loan. In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, as to which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to, and vest in, the Trustee (whether by actual assignment or by amendment of the Letter of Credit) the Seller's rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder. The designated recipient of the items described in the second preceding sentence, and the designated beneficiary under each Letter of Credit referred to in the preceding sentence, shall be the Trustee. If the Seller cannot deliver on the Closing Date any original or certified recorded or filed document or original policy of title insurance which is to be delivered as part of the related Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan solely because the Seller is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such original or certified recorded or filed document has not been returned by the appropriate recording or filing office or such original policy of title insurance has not yet been issued, then the Seller shall deliver such documents to the Purchaser or its designee, promptly upon the Seller's receipt thereof. 150144	Best Buy Best Buy Co., Inc.

BEST BUY RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN 2003 AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT INTRODUCTION Best Buy Co., Inc., a Minnesota corporation having its principal place of business at Richfield, Minnesota, and herein called Plan Sponsor, hereby amends and restates in this document its existing 401(k) profit sharing plan and related trust, which was first adopted, effective October 1, 1990, was most recently amended and restated on February 27, 2002, in an instrument entitled Best Buy Co., Inc. Retirement Savings Plan, and has been amended by a First Amendment dated September 27, 2002 (collectively, the Plan). As herein amended and restated, the Plan is now called the Best Buy Retirement Savings Plan. When the Plan Sponsor amended and restated the Plan on February 27, 2002, it intended to (a) make changes required by the Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), the Uruguay Round Agreements Act of 94 (GATT), the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (SBJPA 96), the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (TRA 97), Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 and other applicable laws, regulations and administrative authority in effect through December 31, 2001 (collectively known as GUST); (b) to make certain changes required by the Economic Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA), but not certain optional changes permitted under EGTRRA; and (c) to make certain other changes in the terms of the Plan. The First Amendment dated September 27, 2002, was intended to (a) increase certain limitations on Participant savings deferrals as of October 1, 2002, as permitted by EGTRRA; (b) make other desirable amendments required or permitted by EGTRRA, but not included in the amended and restated Plan document dated February 27, 2002; and (c) to adopt an Internal Revenue Service Model Amendment changing the Plans distribution rules in accordance with Treasury Regulations issued after February 2002. The amended and restated Plan document dated February 27, 2002, and its First Amendment dated September 27, 2002, were submitted to the Internal Revenue Service in 2002 for a favorable determination letter. Upon review of those documents, the Internal Revenue Service requested further amendments to comply with the GUST requirement described above; and the Plan Sponsor intends to make those changes and incorporate into this Plan document the First Amendment to the Plan dated September 27, 2002. As of December 31, 2001, the Musicland Groups Capital Accumulation Plan, in which eligible employees of Musicland Stores Corporation and its subsidiaries participated, was merged into the Plan pursuant to a written agreement between them and the Plan Sponsor; and Musicland Stores Corporation and its subsidiaries adopted this Plan as participating Affiliated Employers, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor. This Plan document and the Plan document dated February 27, 2002, are intended to retroactively amend the Musicland Groups Capital Accumulation Plan, to the extent necessary to comply with GUST for applicable periods ending on or before December 31, 2001, when that plan was merged into this Plan. 1 Section 10.3 of the Plan provides for its amendment by the Plan Sponsor in the manner and upon the terms and conditions stated therein. Therefore, effective January 1, 2002, except as otherwise stated in this Plan document, the Plan Sponsor hereby amends and restates its existing 401(k) profit-sharing plan as follows: ARTICLE I PURPOSE *1.1* Exclusive Benefit This Plan has been executed for the exclusive benefit of the Participants hereunder and their Beneficiaries. This Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent; and with the intention of the Employer that this Plan satisfy sections 401 and 501 of the IRC. Under no circumstances shall the Trust Fund ever revert to or be used or enjoyed by the Employer, except as provided in Section 12.5. *1.2* No Rights of Employment Granted The establishment of this Plan shall not be considered as giving any employee the right to be retained in the service of the Employer or any Affiliated Employer not participating in this Plan. ARTICLE II DEFINITIONS *2.1* Accrued Benefit The Accrued Benefit of a Participant is the amount credited to the Elective Deferrals Account, Matching Contributions Account, Qualified Matching Contributions Account, Qualified Nonelective Contributions Account and Rollover Account (collectively the Accounts) of the Participant, as applicable. *2.2* Actual Deferral Percentage The Actual Deferral Percentage of each Highly Compensated Employee who is a Participant is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (1) the amount of Elective Deferrals actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of such Participant for the current Plan Year to (2) the Participants Compensation for such Plan Year (whether or not the Employee was a Participant for the entire Plan Year). The Actual Deferral Percentage of each Nonhighly Compensated Employee (as of the current Plan Year) who is a Participant is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (1) the amount of Elective Deferrals actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of such Participant for the current Plan Year to (2) the Participants Compensation for such current Plan Year (whether or not the Employee was a Participant for the entire Plan Year). Employer contributions on behalf of any Participant shall include: (1) any Elective Deferrals made pursuant to the Participants deferral election (including Excess Deferral Amounts of Highly Compensated Employees), but excluding (a) Excess Deferral Amounts of Nonhighly Compensated Employees that arise solely from Elective Deferrals made under the Plan or plans 177264	Best Buy Best Buy Co., Inc.
