all life insurance policies issued on or after January 1, 1986.
(2) Any cash
surrender value available in the event of default in a premium payment due on
any policy anniversary under a life insurance policy to which this section
applies shall be in an amount which does not differ, by more than two-tenths of
one percent of the amount of insurance, if uniform, or the average of the
amounts of insurance at the beginning of each of the first 10 policy years,
from A plus B minus C, where these amounts are defined as follows:
(a) A equals
the basic cash value on such anniversary as defined in subsection (3) of this
section.
(b) B equals
the present value on such anniversary of any existing paid-up additions.
(c) C equals
the amount of any indebtedness to the insurer under the policy on such
anniversary.
(3)(a) The basic
cash value referred to in subsection (2) of this section shall equal the
present value, on a particular subject policy anniversary, of the future
guaranteed benefits which would have been provided for by the policy if there
had been no premium default, excluding any existing paid-up additions and
before deduction of any indebtedness to the insurer, less the present value on
such anniversary of the nonforfeiture factors, as defined in subsection (4) of
this section, corresponding to premiums which would have fallen due on and
after such anniversary. The basic cash value shall be taken as zero if this
calculation produces a negative result.
