1. The addition or return of property in a multiple-item agreement or the substitution of the lease property, if in either case the average payment allocable to a payment period is not changed by more than twenty-five percent;
2. A deferral or extension of one or more periodic payments, or portions of a periodic payment;
B. No disclosures are required for any extension of a lease-purchase agreement.
