Sec. 83.
In addition to other requirements of law, the articles of incorporation of any limited dividend housing corporation shall provide all of the following:
(a) That the limited dividend housing corporation has been organized exclusively to provide housing facilities for persons of low and moderate income, or for persons whose income does not exceed limits established in this act, and for social, recreational, commercial, and communal facilities as may be necessary to serve and improve a residential area in which authority-aided or federally-aided housing is located or is planned to be located, thereby enhancing the viability of the housing.
(b) That every stockholder of the limited dividend housing corporation shall be deemed, by the subscription to or receipt of stock in the corporation, to have agreed that he or she at no time shall receive from the corporation in repayment of his or her investment any sums in excess of the face value of the investment plus cumulative dividends at a rate which the authority determines to be reasonable and proper, computed from the initial date on which money was paid or property delivered in consideration for the proprietary interest of the stockholder; and that upon the dissolution of the limited dividend housing corporation, any surplus in excess of those amounts shall be paid to the authority or to any other regulating governmental body as the authority directs.
(c) That the operations of the limited dividend housing corporation may be supervised by the authority or by any other governmental body as the authority directs, and that the limited dividend housing corporation shall enter into agreements with the authority or with the governmental body as the authority from time to time requires. These agreements shall provide for regulation by the authority or the governmental body of the planning, development, and management of any housing project undertaken by the limited housing corporation and the disposition of the property and franchises of the corporation.
