For all the years in question, so long as the adjustment of Contract Rents by the

AAAF does not exceed 120% of the sum of Comparable Rent plus the Initial Difference, the adjustment does not result in a Material Difference and does not exceed the Overall Limitation in the HAP Contracts. See HUD Memo dated January 14, 1986 attached as Appendix 1 to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment. 14. The sum of Comparable Rent and the Initial Difference when multiplied by 120%

result in the following sums for Quarrytown, Severance and Ambleside for anniversary years 1995-2001. Year/Project 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 15. Quarrytown n/a $5762/ $5603/ $590 $602 $638 n/a Severance n/a $582 $661 $703 $733 $757 n/a Ambleside n/a $585 $708 $756 $780 $804 $816

and to adjust the Contract Rent for Severance and Ambleside for 1996 to $582 and $585 respectively. CMHA has agreed to accept those rents as a full adjustment for those years. Defendant agrees.4/ 17. The steps in annually adjusting Contract Rents are: (a) apply the turnover automatic adjustment factors in Proposed Finding 10 to the agreed Contract Rents for 1995 for Quarrytown and for 1996 for Severance and Ambleside; (b) determine whether the resulting amount exceeds the corresponding figure in the Table in Proposed Finding 14. If it does not exceed this figure, use the resulting amount; if it does exceed, use the figure from the table in Proposed Finding 14, unless same is less than the figure for the prior year in the table set forth in Proposed Finding 18. In the latter event, use the prior year's figure; (c) apply the appropriate factor for each next year thereafter to the Contract Rent determined for the prior year. (d) follow the same procedure as set forth in (b) for amounts calculated in (c). 18. The following table represents the Contract Rents calculated pursuant to the steps set

forth in Proposed Finding 17: Year/Project 1995 Quarrytown $576 Severance n/a Ambleside n/a
