payment due on any policy anniversary, whether or not required by section 2529, shall be an amount
not less than the excess, if any, of the present value, on that 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:
A. Present value of adjusted premiums. The then present value of the adjusted premiums as defined
in sections 2532 and 2532-A, corresponding to premiums which would have fallen due on and after
that anniversary; and [PL 1983, c. 346, §11 (NEW).]

2. For any policy issued on or after the operative date of section 2532-A as defined therein, 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 subsection 1 shall be an amount not less than the sum of the cash surrender value as
defined in that subsection for an otherwise similar policy issued at the same age without that rider or
supplemental policy provision and the cash surrender value as defined in that subsection for a policy
which provides only the benefits otherwise provided by that rider or supplemental policy provision.

which defines a primary insured and provides term insurance on the life of the spouse of the primary
insured expiring before the spouse's age 71, the cash surrender value referred to in subsection 1 shall
be an amount not less than the sum of the cash surrender value as defined in that subsection for an
otherwise similar policy issued at the same age without that term insurance on the life of the spouse
and the cash surrender value as defined in that subsection for a policy which provides only the benefits
otherwise provided by that term insurance on the life of the spouse.

paid-up by completion of all premium payments or any policy continued under any paid-up
nonforfeiture benefit, whether or not required by section 2529, shall be an amount not less than the
present value, on that anniversary, of the future guaranteed benefits provided for by the policy,
including any existing paid-up additions, decreased by any indebtedness to the insurer on the policy.
