In the case of any plan of life insurance which provides for future premium determination, the amounts of which are to be determined by the insurer based on then estimates of future experience, or in the case of any plan of life insurance which is of such a nature that minimum values cannot be determined by the methods described in §§ 58-15-31 to 58-15-38 , inclusive, and §§ 58-15-43.1 to 58-15-43.11 , inclusive, then the director of the Division of Insurance must be satisfied that the benefits provided under the plan are substantially as favorable to policy holders and insureds as the minimum benefits otherwise required by those sections.
Further, the director must be satisfied that the benefits and the pattern of premiums of that plan do not mislead prospective policyholders or insureds. In addition the cash surrender values and paid - up nonforfeiture benefits provided by the plan may not be less than the minimum values and benefits required for the plan computed by a method consistent with the principles of this chapter, as determined by regulations promulgated by the director.
