Corporation, that a higher such maximum original principal obligation
limitation is warranted for any particular size or sizes of residences
in such sub-area by higher median home prices in such sub-area, the

the maximum original principal obligation limitation for such size or
sizes of residences for such sub-area that is otherwise in effect
(including pursuant to subsection (a) of this section) for such
Association and Corporation, but in no case to an amount that exceeds
the amount specified in the matter following the comma in section
