     other instrument to which CFSC is a party or by which CFSC is bound or to
     which any of its properties are subject, or result in the creation or
     imposition of any lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of
     any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument
     (other than the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), or violate any law,
     order, rule or regulation, applicable to CFSC or its properties, of any
     federal or state regulatory body or any court, administrative agency, or
     other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over CFSC or any of
     its properties.

          (g) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
     pending, or, to the knowledge of CFSC, threatened against CFSC, before any
     court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other tribunal or
     governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over CFSC or its
     properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the
     Related Documents, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
     transactions

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

     contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Related Documents, (iii)
     seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely
     affect the performance by CFSC of its obligations under, or the validity or
     enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the Related Documents or (iv)
     that may adversely affect the federal or state income tax attributes of, or
     seeking to impose any excise, franchise, transfer or similar tax upon, the
     transfer and acquisition of the Initial Contracts and the Initial
     Collateral Security hereunder or the transfer of the Initial Contracts and
     the Initial Collateral Security to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and
     Servicing Agreement.

In the event of any breach of a representation and warranty made by CFSC
hereunder, CFC covenants and agrees that it will not take any action to pursue
any remedy that it may have hereunder, in law, in equity or otherwise, until a
year and a day have passed since the later of (i) the date on which all
pass-through certificates or other similar securities issued by the Trust, or a
trust or similar vehicle formed by CFSC, have been paid in full, or (ii) all
Certificates or other similar securities issued by the Trust, or a trust or
similar vehicle formed by CFSC, have been paid in full. CFC and CFSC agree that
damages will not be an adequate remedy for such breach and that this covenant
may be specifically enforced by CFSC or by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                COVENANTS OF CFC

     SECTION 4.1. Transfer of Contracts. On or before the Closing Date, CFC
shall deliver the Land-and-Home Contract files to the Trustee. CFC has filed a
form UCC-1 financing statement regarding the sale of the Contracts to CFSC, and
shall file continuation statements in respect of such UCC-1 financing statement
as if such financing statement were necessary to perfect such sale. CFC shall
take any other actions necessary to maintain the perfection of the sale of the
Contracts to CFSC.

     SECTION 4.2. Costs and Expenses. CFC shall pay all reasonable costs and
disbursements in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder
and under each Subsequent Transfer Agreement and its Related Documents.

     SECTION 4.3. Indemnification.

     (a) CFC will defend and indemnify CFSC against any and all costs, expenses,
losses, damages, claims, and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel and expenses of litigation, arising out of or resulting from any
breach of any of CFC's representations and warranties contained herein or in any
Subsequent Transfer Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the obligation of CFC under this Section 4.3 shall not terminate upon
a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, except that the obligation of CFC under this Section 4.3 shall not
relate to the actions of any subsequent Servicer after a Service Transfer.

     (b) No obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Contracts is
intended to be assumed by CFSC under or as a result of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

hereby and, to the maximum extent permitted and valid under mandatory provisions
of law, CFSC expressly disclaims such assumption.

     (c) CFC agrees to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless CFSC from
any taxes which may at any time be asserted with respect to, and as of the date
of, the transfer of the Contracts to CFSC including, without limitation, any
sales, gross receipts, general corporation, personal property and costs,
expenses and reasonable counsel fees in defending against the same, whether
arising by reason of the acts to be performed by CFC under this Agreement or
imposed against CFSC.

     (d) Indemnification under this Section 4.3 shall include, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.
If the Originator has made any indemnity payments to CFSC pursuant to this
Section and CFSC thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, CFSC will
repay such amounts collected to CFC, as the case may be, without interest.

     SECTION 4.4. Financial Statement Disclosure. CFC's financial statements
will disclose that the Subsequent Contracts have been transferred by CFC to
CFSC, and by CFSC to the Trust, and are not available to satisfy claims of CFC's
creditors.

     SECTION 4.5. Staged-Funding Contracts. The purchase price described in
Section 2.2 includes the amount by which the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal
Balances of the Staged- Funding Contracts exceeds their principal balance as of
the Closing Date. CFC agrees to use its best efforts (consistent with prudent
lending practices) to cause each Staged-Funding Contract to be fully disbursed
on or before the Funding Termination Date. CFC acknowledges its obligations with
respect to the Staged-Funding Contracts under Section 3.06(c) and 3.08 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                   REPURCHASES

     SECTION 5.1. Repurchase of Contracts Upon Breach of Warranty.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, CFC shall, unless such
breach shall have been cured in all material respects, repurchase such Contract
from the Trust pursuant to Section 3.06 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
subject to the limitation of Section 3.07 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of CFC to repurchase
any Contract as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such
obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against CFC for such breach
available to CFSC, the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the
Trustee a direct right against CFC to demand performance hereunder, and in
connection therewith, CFC waives any requirement of prior demand against CFSC
with respect to such repurchase obligation. Any such purchase shall take place
in the manner specified in Section 306 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Subsequent Transfer
Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the obligation
of CFC under this Section shall not terminate upon a termination of CFC as

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall be performed in
accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the failure of the Servicer or
CFSC to perform any of their respective obligations with respect to such
Contract under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     (b) In lieu of repurchasing a Contract when required by Section 5.1(a) of
this Agreement and Section 3.06(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, CFC
may deliver an Eligible Substitute Contract pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.06(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     (c) In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related
Contract shall have been purchased by CFC, CFC shall indemnify the Trustee, the
Trust and the Certificateholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages,
claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which
may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party
claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such Repurchase Events.

     SECTION 5.2. Reassignment of Purchased Contracts. Upon deposit of the
Repurchase Price of any Contract repurchased or replaced by CFC under Section
5.1, CFSC shall cause the Trustee to take such steps as may be reasonably
requested by CFC in order to assign to CFC all of CFSC's and the Trust's right,
title and interest in and to such Contract and all security and documents and
all Collateral Security conveyed to CFSC and the Trust directly relating
thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty, except as to the absence
of liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising as a result of actions
of CFSC or the Trustee. Such assignment shall be a sale and assignment outright,
and not for security. If, following the reassignment of a Contract, in any
enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held that CFC may not enforce any
such Contract on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a
holder entitled to enforce the Contract, CFSC and the Trustee shall, at the
expense of CFC, take such steps as CFC deems reasonably necessary to enforce the
Contract, including bringing suit in CFSC's or the Trustee's name.

     SECTION 5.3. Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of CFSC, or the
Trustee as assignee of CFSC, in exercising any power, right or remedy under this
Agreement or under any Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
remedy preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other power, right or remedy.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 6.1. Liability of CFC. CFC shall be liable in accordance herewith
only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement or in any Subsequent
Transfer Agreement specifically undertaken by CFC and the representations and
warranties of CFC.

     SECTION 6.2. Merger or Consolidation of CFC or CFSC. Any corporation or
other entity (i) into which CFC or CFSC may be merged or consolidated, (ii)
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which CFC or CFSC is a party or
(iii) succeeding to the business of CFC or

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

CFSC, in the case of CFSC, which corporation has articles of incorporation
containing provisions relating to limitations on business and other matters
substantively identical to those contained in CFSC's articles of incorporation,
shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of CFC or
CFSC, as the case may be, under this Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer
Agreement and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed, shall be
the successor to CFC or CFSC, as the case may be, hereunder and under each such
Subsequent Transfer Agreement (without relieving CFC or CFSC of its
responsibilities hereunder, if it survives such merger or consolidation) without
the execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties
to this Agreement or each Subsequent Transfer Agreement. CFC or CFSC shall
promptly inform the other party and the Trustee of such merger, consolidation or
purchase and assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to the
consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
above, (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
representation or warranty made pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this
Agreement, or similar representation or warranty made in any Subsequent Transfer
Agreement, shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations
and warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation of such
transaction), (y) CFC or CFSC, as applicable, shall have delivered written
notice of such consolidation, merger or purchase and assumption to the relevant
rating agencies prior to the consummation of such transaction and shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each
stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of
assumption comply with this Section 6.2 and that all conditions precedent, if
any, provided for in this Agreement, or in each Subsequent Transfer Agreement,
relating to such transaction have been complied with, and (z) CFC or CFSC, as
applicable, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, stating
that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and
continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that
are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Trustee in the Trust
Property and reciting the details of the filings or (B) no such action shall be
necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

     SECTION 6.3. Limitation on Liability of CFC and Others. CFC shall not be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is
not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, any Subsequent Transfer
Agreement or its Related Documents and that in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability.

     SECTION 6.4. Amendment.

     (a) This Agreement and any Subsequent Transfer Agreement may be amended by
CFC and CFSC and without the consent of the Trustee or any of the
Certificateholders (A) to cure any ambiguity or (B) to correct any provisions in
this Agreement or any such Subsequent Transfer Agreement; provided, however,
that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to
the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Noteholder.

     (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by CFC and CFSC,
with the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Holders of Certificates of
each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating 51% or more for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement,
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the
amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the
Contracts or distributions that are required to be made on any Certificate or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment
or any waiver hereunder, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
then outstanding.

     (c) This Agreement shall not be amended under this Section without the
consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholders if
such amendment would result in the disqualification of the Trust as a REMIC
under the Code.

     (d) Concurrently with the solicitation of any consent pursuant to this
Section 6.4, CFSC shall furnish written notification to the Rating Agencies.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment or consent pursuant to this
Section 6.4, CFSC shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment to the Ratings Agencies, each Certificateholder and the Class C
Certificateholders.

     (e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe, including
the establishment of record dates. The consent of any Holder of a Certificate
given pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other provision of this
Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future
Holders of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of
such consent is made upon the Certificate.

     SECTION 6.5. Notices. All demands, notices and communications to CFC or
CFSC hereunder shall be in writing, personally delivered, or sent by telecopier
(subsequently confirmed in writing), reputable overnight courier or mailed by
certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have been given

Paul, Minnesota 55102-1639, Attention: Chief Financial Officer or to such other
address of which notice shall have been given in accordance with this Section
6.5.

     SECTION 6.6. Merger and Integration. Except as specifically stated
otherwise herein, this Agreement and the Related Documents set forth the entire
understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and all
prior understandings, written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement and the
Related Documents. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived or
supplemented except as provided herein.

     SECTION 6.7. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason
whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, provisions or terms shall be
deemed severable from the remaining covenants, provisions

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

     SECTION 6.8. Intention of the Parties. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and of each Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall constitute an
acknowledgment by CFC and CFSC that they intend that each assignment and
transfer herein and therein contemplated constitute a sale and assignment
outright, and not for security, of the Initial Contracts and the Initial
Collateral Security and the Subsequent Contracts and Subsequent Collateral
Security, as the case may be, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens, from CFC to CFSC, and that the Initial Contracts and the Initial
Collateral Security and the Subsequent Contracts and Subsequent Collateral
Security shall not be a part of CFC's estate in the event of the bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other
proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, or the
occurrence of another similar event, of, or with respect to, CFC. In the event
that such conveyance is determined to be made as security for a Contract made by
CFSC, the Trust or the Certificateholders to CFC, the parties intend that this
Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law and that CFC shall have granted to CFSC a
security interest in all of CFC's right, title and interest in and to (i) the
Contracts, including the Collateral Security and all rights to receive payments
on or with respect to the Contracts (other than principal and interest due on
the Contracts on or before the applicable Cut-off Date or Subsequent Cut-off
Date), (ii) all rights under every Hazard Insurance Policy relating to a
Manufactured Home securing a Contract for the benefit of the creditor of such
Contract, (iii) all rights under all FHA/VA Regulations pertaining to any
Contract that is an FHA/VA Contract, (iv) the proceeds from the Errors and
Omissions Protection Policy and all rights under any blanket hazard insurance
policy to the extent they relate to a Manufactured Home securing a Contract, (v)
all documents contained in the Contract Files and the Land-and-Home Contract
Files, (vi) $8,308,281.36 paid by the underwriters of the Certificates to the
Trustee by order of the Seller out of the proceeds of the sale of the
Certificates (which such underwriters shall, by order of the Trust, remit
directly to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.01(c)), (vii) amounts on deposit in
the Capitalized Interest Account, (viii) amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account and (ix) all proceeds and products in any way derived from any of the
foregoing.

     SECTION 6.9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to the principles of
conflicts of laws thereof, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

     SECTION 6.10. Counterparts. For the purpose of facilitating the execution
of this Agreement and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but
one and the same instrument.

     SECTION 6.11. Conveyance of the Initial Contracts and the Initial
Collateral Security to the Trust. CFC acknowledges that CFSC intends, pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to convey the Initial Contracts and the
Initial Collateral Security, together with its rights under this Agreement, to
the Trust on the date hereof. CFC acknowledges and consents to such conveyance
and waives any further notice thereof and covenants and agrees that the
representations

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

and warranties of CFC contained in this Agreement and the rights of CFSC
hereunder are intended to benefit the Trustee, the Trust, and the
Certificateholders. In furtherance of the foregoing, CFC covenants and agrees to
perform its duties and obligations hereunder, in accordance with the terms
hereof for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust, and the Certificateholders and
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, CFC shall be
directly liable to the Trustee and the Trust (notwithstanding any failure by the
Servicer or CFSC to perform its duties and obligations hereunder or under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and that the Trustee may enforce the duties and
obligations of CFC under this Agreement against CFC for the benefit of the Trust
and the Certificateholders.

     SECTION 6.12. Nonpetition Covenant. Neither CFSC nor CFC shall petition or
otherwise invoke the process of any court or government authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Trust (or, in the case of
CFC, against CFSC) under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Trust (or CFSC) or any substantial
part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs
of the Trust (or CFSC).

Security from CFC to CFSC, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens, and the Subsequent Contracts and the Collateral Security shall not be
part of CFC's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or
against CFC under any bankruptcy or similar law. CFC's financial statements will
disclose that the Subsequent Contracts have been transferred by CFC to CFSC, and
by CFSC to the Trust, and are not available to satisfy claims of CFC's
creditors.

Contracts and the Subsequent Collateral Security to CFSC, CFSC has paid or
caused to be paid to or upon the order of CFC, by wire transfer of immediately

Certificates on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account), the amount of funds as
specified below:

        (i)  Principal Balance of Subsequent Contracts:   $________

enforced by CFSC or by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

          In  recognition of the pending  Auction of the  Danskammer  Generating
Station,  and to provide the new  ownership  with  maximum  flexibility,  Seller
agrees to forgo  deliveries  under this AGREEMENT in Contract Year 2001 upon six

            Section 1. Quantities/Delivery  Schedule: Except for as provided for
below, the quantity of coal sold and purchased hereunder shall be a Firm tonnage
of XXX,XXX  Metric Tons (+ or - 10%) per year. In addition,  there will be up to
XX,XXX Metric Tons (+ or - 10%) per year called  Incremental  Tonnage which will
be sold and purchased  hereunder  provided  that the delivered  cost per million
Btu's of oil, natural gas or spot coal usable at Buyer's Danskammer Plant or the
equivalent  price of replacement  electric  energy  exceeds the applicable  Base
Price of coal in delivered cost per million Btu's at appropriately  applied heat
rates.
       The Sales Agent/Seller will assume that one Vessel per month of a nominal
XX,XXX Metric Tons (+ or - 10%) will be shipped under this Agreement.  The third
Vessel in the first and

                                       3

fourth quarter will deliver  Incremental Tonnage provided (1) Buyer requires the
tonnage and (2) Buyer and Seller  have  agreed on the price for said  tonnage as
per the notification procedure described herein.
            On or before  the the  first day of the  Notice  Month,  Buyer  will
provide to Seller the fifteen (15) day  delivery  window for each Vessel for the
following  quarter  as well as a notice of the  Incremental  Price for the third
Vessel to be shipped if the schedule is for the first or the fourth quarter. The
Seller is obligated to deliver Incremental Tonnage quoted at the Base Price . On
the first working day of each month of the quarter or fifteen (15) days prior to
each  Vessel's ETA,  whichever is sooner,  the lay days will be reduced to a ten
(10) day window and fifteen  (15) days prior to ETA the lay days will be reduced

time in the ensuing twelve (12) months (commencing with the quarter during which
the unshipped Incremental Tonnage would otherwise have been shipped) at the Base
Price.  In each such  instance,  Buyer will then have the option to accept  that
Incremental Tonnage or permanently cancel that Incremental Tonnage.

            Section 3.  Delivery  Schedule  Limitations:  All Firm  Tonnage in a
quarter will be delivered before any Incremental Tonnage is delivered. Both Firm

Seller's Vessel fail to offload cargo at a minimum rate of X,XXX Metric Tons per

delivered  by said  Vessel.  This  reduction  is over and above  any  allowances
previously provided herein.

            BUYER and SELLER agree that SELLER's Norte de Santander  (Santander)
coal shall be the primary  component (XX % minimum) for each shipment under this
agreement.  Tachira coal shall be the secondary component (XX% maximum). Blend A
above will be shipped unless another blend (B or other) is mutually agreed.  The
prices for coal  shipped as provided  in Article VI will  prevail  provided  the
secondary  coal is  limited to a maximum  of 30% of the two coal  blend.  Higher
percentages  of  Santander in blend A will command the same price per short ton.
Coal loadings with greater than XX% of the secondary coal or those using a three
coal  blend  that  results  in a lower  price  per net ton will be priced at the
weighted  component  price per MMBtu (See  Attachment III) provided the cargo is
accepted by Central Hudson.

      The two incremental cargoes will be priced in accordance with the contract
provisions  for  incremental  tonnage  which will be subject  to  adjustment  as
provided above if the secondary coal is greater than XX%. The difference between
the Base Price of coal and the weighted  component  price shall be deducted from
the agreed  incremental  price.  Mutually  agreed  shipments  of coal blends not
provided herein shall be priced at the weighted  component price per MMBtu or as
mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller.
