No insurance premium shall be charged to or collected from a borrower prior to the effective date of such insurance. However, in the event of refinancing of a loan, existing insurance may be extended to the maturity date of the new loan and the additional premium may be charged to or collected from the borrower at the time the loan is refinanced. The cost of the insurance to replace the unexpired insurance shall not exceed the original premium cost of such unexpired insurance. The cost of the insurance for the additional term may be computed at rates currently in effect.
