(ii) the transaction was precomputed, in the case of a transaction entered into before July 1, 2020, the amount which the buyer would have been required to pay upon prepayment pursuant to the provisions on rebate upon prepayment (IC 24-4.5-2-210) on the date of refinancing.

(b) Appropriate additional charges (IC 24-4.5-2-202), payment of which is deferred.
