Notwithstanding any provision therein to the contrary and except as provided in Code Section 53-12-181, the articles of incorporation of any corporation which is a private foundation shall be amended automatically as of the later of the date of incorporation or January 1, 1972, to provide that the corporation shall:

(2) Not retain any excess business holdings, as defined in Section 4943(c) of the federal Internal Revenue Code, which would give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4943 of the federal Internal Revenue Code;

(3) Not make any investments which would jeopardize the carrying out of any of the exempt purposes of the corporation, within the meaning of Section 4944 of the federal Internal Revenue Code, so as to give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4944 of the federal Internal Revenue Code;

(4) Not make any taxable expenditures, as defined in Section 4945(d) of the federal Internal Revenue Code, which would give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4945 of the federal Internal Revenue Code; and
