"(f) CERTAIN SALES OF STOCK OF CONSENTING CORPORATIONS."(1) IN GENERAL.-Subsection (a) (1) shall not apply to a sale of stock of a corporation (other than a sale to the issuing corporation) if such corporation (hereinafter in this subsection referred to as 'consenting corporation') consents (at such time and in such manner as the Secretary or his delegate may by regulations prescribe) to have the provisions of paragraph (2) apply. Such consent shall apply with respect to each sale of stock of such corporation made within the 6-month period beginning with the date on which such consent is filed.

"(2) RECOGNITION OF GAIN.-Except as provided in paragraph (3), if a subsection (f) asset (as defined in paragraph (4)) is disposed of at any time by a consenting corporation (or, if paragraph (3) applies, by a transferee corporation), then the amount by which

"(A) in the case of a sale, exchange, or involuntary conversion, the amount realized, or

"(B) in the case of any other disposition, the fair market value of such asset,

exceeds the adjusted basis of such asset shall be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such asset. Such gain shall be recognized notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, but only to the extent such gain is not recognized under any other provision of this subtitle.

(3) EXCEPTION FOR CERTAIN TAX-FREE TRANSACTIONS.-If the basis of a subsection (f) asset in the hands of a transferee is determined by reference to its basis in the hands of the transferor by reason of the application of section 332, 351, 361, 371(a), or 374(a), then the amount of gain taken into account by the transferor under paragraph (2) shall not exceed the amount of gain recognized to the transferor on the transfer of such asset (determined without regard to this subsection). This paragraph shall apply only if the transferee

"(A) is not an organization which is exempt from tax imposed by this chapter, and

"(B) agrees (at such time and in such manner as the Secretary or his delegate may by regulations prescribe) to have the provisions of paragraph (2) apply to any disposition by it of such subsection (f) asset.

"(4) SUBSECTION (f) ASSET DEFINED. For purposes of this subsection

"(A) IN GENERAL.-The term 'subsection (f) asset' means any property which, as of the date of any sale of stock referred to in paragraph (1), is not a capital asset and is property owned by, or subject to an option to acquire held by, the consenting corporation. For purposes of this subparagraph, land or any interest in real property (other than a security interest), and unrealized receivables or fees (as defined in subsection (b) (4)), shall be treated as property which is not a capital asset. "(B) PROPERTY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.-If manufacture, construction, or production with respect to any property described in subparagraph (A) has commenced before any

(f) (added 1964)-Continued

date of sale described therein, the term 'subsection (f) asset' includes the property resulting from such manufacture, construction, or production.

"(C) SPECIAL Rule for land. In the case of land or any interest in real property (other than a security interest) described in subparagraph (A), the term 'subsection (f) asset' includes any improvements resulting from construction with respect to such property if such construction is commenced (by the consenting corporation or by a transferee corporation which has agreed to the application of paragraph (2)) within 2 years after the date of any sale described in subparagraph (A). "(5) 5-YEAR LIMITATION AS TO SHAREHOLDER.-Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the sale of stock of a corporation by a shareholder if, during the 5-year period ending on the date of such sale, such shareholder (or any related person within the meaning of subsection (e) (8) (A)) sold any stock of another consenting corporation within any 6-month period beginning on a date on which a consent was filed under paragraph (1) by such other corporation.

"(6) SPECIAL RULE FOR STOCK OWNERSHIP IN OTHER CORPORATIONS.-If a corporation (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as 'owning corporation') owns 5 percent or more in value of the outstanding stock of another corporation on the date of any sale of stock of the owning corporation during a 6-month period with respect to which a consent under paragraph (1) was filed by the owning corporation, such consent shall not be valid with respect to such sale unless such other corporation has (within the 6-month period ending on the date of such sale) filed a valid consent under paragraph (1) with respect to sales of its stock. For purposes of applying paragraph (4) to such other corporation, a sale of stock of the owning corporation to which paragraph (1) applies shall be treated as a sale of stock of such other corporation. In the case of a chain of corporations connected by the 5-percent ownership requirements of this paragraph, rules similar to the rules of the two preceding sentences shall be applied.

"(7) ADJUSTMENTS TO BASIS.-The Secretary or his delegate shall prescribe such regulations as he may deem necessary to provide for adjustments to the basis of property to reflect gain recognized under paragraph (2)."
