of the name given to the charge or fee, payable directly or indirectly by the customer

and imposed directly or indirectly by the lender must be included in calculating the

annual percentage rate, including, without limitation: (a) Interest; (b) Application fees, regardless of whether such fees are charged to all applicants

or credit is actually extended; (c) Fees charged for participation in a credit plan, whether assessed on an annual,

periodic or nonperiodic basis; and (d) Prepaid finance charges. 2. The following charges and fees must be excluded from the calculation of the annual

percentage rate pursuant to subsection 1: (a) Any fees allowed pursuant to NRS 604A.5061 or 675.365 for a check not paid upon presentment or an electronic transfer of money that fails; (b) Interest accrued after default pursuant to paragraph (c) of subsection 1 of NRS 604A.5058 ; (c) Charges for an unanticipated late payment, exceeding a credit limit, or a delinquency,

subsection 2 of NRS 604A.504 or any other provisions of this chapter requiring disclosure of an annual percentage

rate in the making of a loan.
