(1) Check charges;

(2) Monthly maintenance charges;

(3) Checkbook charges;

(4) Charges for checks drawn in excess of an available line of credit; or

(5) Any similar charges.

(c) The amount of any charge imposed on the account may be charged to the account under the plan as a loan and may be included in the outstanding unpaid indebtedness under the terms of the agreement governing the revolving credit plan, to the extent the balance in the demand deposit or other transaction account is insufficient to pay the charge.
