(1) (a) Except as provided in
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this subsection (1), any cash surrender value available under the policy
in the event of default in a premium payment due on any policy anniversary, whether or not
required by section 10-7-302, shall be an amount not less than the excess, if any, of the present
value, on such anniversary, of the future guaranteed benefits which would have been provided
for by the policy, including any existing paid-up additions, if there had been no default, over the
sum of:
(I) The then present value of the adjusted premiums, as defined in sections 10-7-305 and
10-7-305.1, corresponding to premiums which would have fallen due on and after such
anniversary; and
(II) The amount of any indebtedness to the company on the policy.
(b) For any policy issued on or after the operative date of section 10-7-305.1 which
provides supplemental life insurance or annuity benefits at the option of the insured and for an
identifiable additional premium by rider or supplemental policy provision, the cash surrender
value referred to in paragraph (a) of this subsection (1) shall be an amount not less than the sum
of the cash surrender value as defined in said paragraph (a) for an otherwise similar policy issued
at the same age without such rider or supplemental policy provision and the cash surrender value
as defined in said paragraph (a) for a policy which provides only the benefits otherwise provided
by such rider or supplemental policy provision.
(c) For any family policy issued on or after the operative date of section 10-7-305.1
which defines a primary insured and provides term insurance on the life of the spouse of the
primary insured expiring before the spouse reaches age seventy-one, the cash surrender value
referred to in paragraph (a) of this subsection (1) shall be an amount not less than the sum of the
cash surrender value as defined in said paragraph (a) for an otherwise similar policy issued at the
same age without such term insurance on the life of the spouse and the cash surrender value as
defined in said paragraph (a) for a policy which provides only the benefits otherwise provided by
such term insurance on the life of the spouse.
(2) Any cash surrender value available within thirty days after any policy anniversary
under any policy paid up by completion of all premium payments or any policy continued under
any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit, whether or not required by section 10-7-302, shall be an
amount not less than the present value, on such anniversary, of the future guaranteed benefits
provided for by the policy, including any existing paid-up additions, decreased by any
indebtedness to the company on the policy.
