The complaint in any action authorized by this article shall state whether or not the local organization obtained from the parent organization or any of its affiliated organizations a loan or grant of funds with which to defray, in whole or in part, the cost of constructing or acquiring any of the buildings or real estate included in the fraternal property sought to be withdrawn, and if the loan or grant was obtained within 20 years prior to filing the complaint, then it shall aver the amount thereof and the date the loan or grant was obtained and whether, if it be a loan, it is secured by a lien instrument.
