This percentage must: (A) Be uniform for each policy year between the second policy anniversary and the later of: (i) The fifth policy anniversary; and (ii) The first policy anniversary at which there is available under the policy a cash surrender value in an amount, before including any paid-up additions and before deducting any indebtedness, at least equal to two-tenths of one percent of the amount of insurance, if uniform, or of the average of the amounts of insurance at the beginning of each of the first 10 policy years; and (B) Be such that no percentage after the later policy anniversary defined in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph applies to fewer than five consecutive policy years. (b) No basic cash value may be less than the value which would be obtained if the adjusted premiums for the policy as defined in ORS 743.215 or 743.216, whichever is applicable to the policy, were substituted for the nonforfeiture factors defined in this subsection in the calculation of the basic cash value. (5) All adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this section shall for a particular policy be calculated on the same mortality and interest bases as are used in demonstrating the compliance of the policy with the Standard Nonforfeiture Law for Life Insurance. The cash surrender values referred to in this section shall include any endowment benefits provided for by the policy. (6)(a) Any cash surrender value available other than in the event of default in a premium payment due on a policy anniversary, and the amount of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit available under the policy in the event of default in a premium payment, shall be determined in a manner consistent with the manner specified for determining the analogous minimum amounts under the Standard Nonforfeiture Law for Life Insurance. (b) The amounts of any cash surrender values and any paid-up nonforfeiture benefits granted in connection with additional benefits such as those described in ORS 743.222 shall conform with the principles of this section.
