(1) Reserves for any category of policies or
benefits as established by the commissioner may be calculated, at the option of the
company, according to any standards that produce greater aggregate reserves for
the category than those calculated according to the minimum standard provided in
this part 3, but the rate or rates of interest used for policies and contracts, other
than annuity and pure endowment contracts, must not be greater than the
corresponding rate or rates of interest used in calculating any nonforfeiture
benefits provided for in the policies or contracts.

(2) Any company that at any time has adopted any standard of valuation
producing greater aggregate reserves than those calculated according to the
minimum standard provided in this part 3 may adopt a lower standard of valuation
with the approval of the commissioner, but not lower than the minimum provided in
this part 3; except that, for the purposes of this part 3, the holding of additional
reserves previously determined by the appointed actuary to be necessary to render
the opinion required by section 10-7-114 shall not be deemed to be the adoption of a
higher standard of valuation.
