constituting the basis for its exemption under section 501 (or, in the case of an organization described in section 511(a)(2)(B), to the exercise or performance of any purpose or function designated in section
501(c)(3)), or
I.R.C. § 514(b)(1)(A)(ii) —

land (commencing within 10 years of the time of acquisition) in the manner described
in paragraph (1)(A) and at the time of acquisition the property is in the neighborhood
of other property owned by the organization which is used in such manner, the real
property acquired for such future use shall not be treated as debt-financed property
so long as the organization does not abandon its intent to so use the land within
the 10-year period. The preceding sentence shall not apply for any period after
the expiration of the 10-year period, and shall apply after the first 5 years of
the 10-year period only if the organization establishes to the satisfaction of the

the acquired land is not in the neighborhood referred to in subparagraph (A), or
I.R.C. § 514(b)(3)(B)(ii) —

(subject to the provisions of subparagraph (D)) shall not be treated as debt-financed
property for any period before such conversion. For purposes of this subparagraph,

reason of the use made of any structure which was on the land when acquired by the
organization.

be demolished or removed in order to use the land in such manner;
I.R.C. § 514(b)(3)(C)(ii) —
shall not apply to structures erected on the land after the acquisition of the land;
and

If an organization for any taxable year has not used land in the manner to satisfy
the actual use condition of subparagraph
(B) before the time prescribed by law (including extensions thereof)
for filing the return for such taxable year, the tax for such year shall be computed
without regard to the application of subparagraph
(B), but if and when such use condition is satisfied, the provisions of subparagraph
(B) shall then be applied to such taxable year. If the actual use condition of subparagraph
(B) is satisfied for any taxable year after such time for filing the return, and
if credit or refund of any overpayment for the taxable year resulting from
the satisfaction of such use condition is prevented at the close of the taxable year
in which the use condition is satisfied, by the operation of any law or rule of law
(other than chapter 74, relating to closing agreements and compromises), credit or
refund of such overpayment may nevertheless be allowed or made if claim therefor
is filed before the expiration of 1 year after the close of the taxable year in which
the use condition is satisfied.

an organization acquires property by gift subject to a mortgage which was placed
on the property more than 5 years before the gift, which property was held by the
donor more than 5 years before the gift, the indebtedness secured by such mortgage

has had an opportunity to pay such taxes or assessments in accordance with State
law.
I.R.C. § 514(c)(3) Extension Of Obligations —
For purposes of this section, an extension, renewal, or refinancing of an obligation
evidencing a pre-existing indebtedness shall not be treated as the creation of a

taxable year with respect to a debt-financed property means the average amount, determined
under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the acquisition indebtedness during

means the highest amount of the acquisition indebtedness with respect to such property
during the 12-month period ending with the date of the sale or other disposition.
