(1) Refurbishing, conversion, or modification within this state and which is not used or intended for use in this state, and the presence of such tangible personal property within this state shall not be construed as storage, use, or consumption in this state for the purpose of this subchapter if the aircraft, aircraft equipment, and railroad parts, cars, and equipment, or tangible personal property is removed from this state within sixty (60) days from the date of the completion of the refurbishing, conversion, or modification; or

(2) Storage for use outside or inside the State of Arkansas regardless of the length of time any such property is so stored in the State of Arkansas.
