Events such as the following may not be treated as renegotiations:(a) the addition or return of property in a multiple-item agreement or the substitution of property, if in either case the average payment allocable to a payment period is not changed by more than twenty-five percent;(b) a deferral or extension of one or more periodic payments, or portions of a periodic payment;(c) a reduction in charges in the agreement; or(d) an agreement involving a court proceeding.
