and I read somewhere that this may be refundable at closing?
Also, are there laws for prepayment penalties in NC?

A committment fee?
That sounds synonymous with "Junk Fee" to me.

Prepayment penalties typically are legal and are spelled out in your mortgage contract.
It is common, and reasonable, for a lender to recoup some costs if you get a teaser rate mortgage and then refinance to pay off before the rate escalates.
Some lenders charge them. Some don't.
The specifics vary, just like loans vary. You may have a prepayment penalty within the first year or two, if you are getting a very attractive ARM.

Don't hesitate to have your attorney review your loan documents if you do not understand them, or you don't get good clarification from the lender rep.
