To qualify as long-term debt security, a debt instrument must be issued by a qualified community development entity, at par value or a premium, with an original maturity date of at least 7 years after the date of its issuance, with no acceleration of repayment, amortization or prepayment features before its original maturity date. The qualified community development entity that issues the debt instrument must not make interest payments in the form of cash on the debt instrument during the period beginning on the date of issuance and ending on the final credit allowance date in an amount that exceeds the cumulative operating income, as defined by regulations adopted under section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 26 U.S.C. § 45D, of the qualified community development entity for that period before giving effect to the interest expense of the long-term debt security. This section does not limit the holder’s ability to accelerate payments on the debt instrument in situations in which the issuer has defaulted on covenants designed to ensure compliance with this chapter or section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 26 U.S.C. § 45D.
