b. The amounts of such purchases from participating merchants and loans are charged to the borrower's account under the revolving credit plan;

(3) “Loan” means cash advances or loans to be paid to or for the account of the borrower.
(4) “Credit device” means any card, check, identification code or other means of identification contemplated by the agreement governing the plan.
(5) “Outstanding unpaid indebtedness” means on any day an amount not in excess of the total amount of purchases from participating merchants and loans charged to the borrower's account under the plan which is outstanding and unpaid at the end of the day, after adding the aggregate amount of any new purchases from participating merchants and loans charged to the account as of that day and deducting the aggregate amount of any payments and credits applied to that indebtedness as of any day and, if the agreement providing the plan so provides, may include the amount of any interest and additional charges, including late or delinquency charges, which have accrued to the account and which are unpaid at the end of the day.
