1. Policies providing for uniform insurance and uniform premiums. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 and section 957, reserves according to the commissioners reserve valuation method, for the life insurance and endowment benefits of policies providing for a uniform amount of insurance and requiring the payment of uniform premiums, shall be the excess, if any, of the present value, at the date of valuation, of such future guaranteed benefits provided for by such policies, over the then present value of any future modified net premiums therefor. The modified net premiums for any such policy shall be such uniform percentage of the respective contract premiums for such benefits that the present value, at the date of issue of the policy, of all such modified net premiums shall be equal to the sum of the then present value of such benefits provided for by the policy and the excess of paragraph A over paragraph B as follows:

1-A. Reserve. For any life insurance policy issued on or after January 1, 1987, for which the contract premium in the first policy year exceeds that of the 2nd year and for which no comparable additional benefit is provided in the first year for that excess and which provides an endowment benefit or a cash surrender value, or a combination thereof, in an amount greater than that excess premium, the reserve according to the commissioners reserve valuation method as of any policy anniversary occurring on or before the assumed ending date, defined in this subsection as the first policy anniversary on which the sum of any endowment benefit and any cash surrender value then available is greater than that excess premium, shall, except as otherwise provided in section 957, be the greater of the reserve as of that policy anniversary calculated as described in subsection 1 and the reserve as of that policy anniversary calculated as described in subsection 1, but with the value defined in subsection 1, paragraph A, being reduced by 15% of the amount of that excess first year premium, all present values of benefits and premiums being determined without reference to premiums or benefits provided for by the policy after the assumed ending date, the policy being assumed to mature on that date as an endowment, and the cash surrender value provided on that date being considered as an endowment benefit. In making this comparison, the mortality and interest bases stated in sections 953 and 953?A shall be used.

2. Annuity and pure endowment contracts. This subsection shall apply to all annuity and pure endowment contracts other than group annuity and pure endowment contracts purchased under a retirement plan or plan of deferred compensation, established or maintained by an employer (including a partnership or sole proprietorship) or by an employee organization, or by both, other than a plan providing individual retirement accounts or individual retirement annuities under the United States Internal Revenue Code, Section 408, as now or hereafter amended.
