Provisions from the covenants which are attached to the current form of 242 regulatory agreement were inserted, as well as language consistent with the Security Instrument and current Housing policies. Industry is very familiar with these covenants so new policy concepts are not being introduced with the insertion of those provisions. Definitions were added as an exhibit C to the Agreement in order to make the document easier to read without having to page through numerous definitions. Significant terminology now used in the new 242 regulatory agreement is the concept of "Program Obligations" as used in Multifamily and 232; definition of "Revenue" to replace the definition of "Rent"; and the definition of "Waste".
