� 5.1 Refinance Restriction. Owner may not, during the term of this Agreement, refinance the loan(s) used to purchase the Affordable Unit ("Original Loan"), without the express written approval of the City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The City's decision to approve or disapprove such refinancing shall be based upon such factors as whether the replacement loan (the "New Loan") provides a reasonable and tangible net benefit to Owner such as a reduction in the interest rate and monthly mortgage payment, or frustrates the City's ability to administer the covenants contained in this Agreement. Any New Loan approved by the City shall remain subject to this Refinance Restriction for the balance of the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall permit a prepayment and refinance of the Original Loan and shall agree to subordinate this Agreement and the City Deed of Trust to the New Loan provided that: (a) following such refinance, the principal amount of all debt secured by the Property does not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the Affordable Sales Price; (b) the New Loan is a fully amortized fixed rate loan, is fully documented, and requires no balloon payments; (c) if the remaining balance of the Original Loan exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the Affordable Sales Price, then the New Loan reduces the Owner's principal and interest payments; and (d) the total new housing cost to the Owner after the refinance does not exceed the Owner's ability to pay. 5.2 Home Equitv Loan/Line of Credit Prohibition.
