To facilitate the enlistment of private capital through the sale by public housing agencies of their bonds and other obligations to others than the Administration, in financing low-rent housing projects, and to maintain the low-rent character of housing projects

(a) Contracts for annual contributions; terms and conditions.

Every contract for annual contributions (including contracts which amend or supersede contracts previously made) may provide that—

(1) upon the occurrence of a substantial default in respect to the covenants or conditions to which the public housing agency is subject (as such substantial default shall be defined in such contract), the public housing agency shall be obligated at the option of the Administration, either to convey title in any case where, in the determination of the Administration (which determination shall be final and conclusive), such conveyance of title is necessary to achieve the purposes of this chapter, or to deliver possession to the Administration of the project, as then constituted, to which such contract relates;

(2) the Administration shall be obligated to reconvey or to redeliver possession of the project, as constituted at the time of reconveyance or redelivery, to such public housing agency or to its successor (if such public housing agency or a successor exists) upon such terms as shall be pre

scribed in such contract and as soon as practicable: (i) after the Administration shall be satisfied that all defaults with respect to the project have been cured, and that the project will, in order to fulfill the purposes of this chapter, thereafter be operated in accordance with the terms of such contract; or (ii) after the termination of the obligation to make annual contributions available unless there are any obligations or covenants of the public housing agency to the Administration which are then in default. Any prior conveyances and reconveyances, deliveries and redeliveries of possession shall not exhaust the right to require a conveyance or delivery of possession of the project to the Administration pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection, upon the subsequent occurrence of a substantial default.

(b) Same; fulfillment of conditions; maximum annual contributions.

Whenever such contract for annual contributions shall include provisions which the Administration, in said contract, determines are in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, and the annual contributions, pursuant to such contract, have been pledged by the public housing agency as security for the payment of the principal and interest on any of its obligations, the Administration (notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter) shall continue to make annual contributions available for the project so long as any of such obligations remain outstanding, and may covenant in such contract (in lieu of the provision required by the first sentence of section 1415 (3) of this title and notwithstanding any other provisions of law) that in any event such annual contributions shall in each year be at least equal to an amount which, together with such income or other funds as are actually available from the project for the purpose at the time such annual contribution is made, will suffice for the payment of all installments, falling due within the next succeeding twelve months, of principal and interest on the obligations for which the annual contributions provided for in the contract shall have been pledged as security: Provided, That such annual contributions shall not be in excess of the maximum sum determined pursuant to the first proviso of section 1410 (b) of this title, or, where applicable, the second proviso of section 1410 (c) of this title; and in no case shall such annual contributions be in excess of the maximum sum specified in the contract involved, nor for longer than the remainder of the maximum period fixed by the contract.

(c) Incontestability of obligations; pledge of full faith and credit.

Obligations of a public housing agency which (1) are secured either (A) by a pledge of a loan under an agreement between such public housing agency and the Administration, or (B) by a pledge of annual contributions under an annual contributions contract between such public housing agency and the Administration, and (2) bear, or are accompanied by, a certificate of the Administration that such obligations are so secured, shall be incontestable in the hands of a bearer, and the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged to the payment of all amounts agreed to be paid by the

Administration as security for such obligations. (Sept. 1, 1937, ch. 896, § 22, as added July 15, 1949, ch. 338, title III, § 304 (b), 63 Stat. 424, and amended June 30, 1961, Pub. L. 87-70, title III, § 302(b), 75 Stat. 166.)
