This section does not apply to policies issued on or after the operative date of SECTION 38-63-600 as defined therein. Except as provided in the third paragraph of this section the adjusted premiums for any policy must be calculated on an annual basis and must be the uniform percentage of the respective premiums specified in the policy for each policy year, excluding any extra premiums charged because of impairments or special hazards, that the present value, at the date of issue of the policy, of all such adjusted premiums must be equal to the sum of: (a) the then present value of the future guaranteed benefits provided for by the policy; (b) two percent of the amount of insurance, if the insurance is uniform in amount, or of the equivalent uniform amount as defined in this section if the amount of insurance varies with duration of the policy; (c) forty percent of the adjusted premium for the first policy year; and (d) twenty-five percent of either the adjusted premium for the first policy year or the adjusted premium for a whole life policy of the same uniform or equivalent uniform amount with uniform premiums for the whole of life issued at the same age for the same amount of insurance, whichever is less. However, in applying the percentages specified in terms (c) and (d) above no adjusted premium may be considered to exceed four percent of the amount of insurance or uniform amount equivalent thereto. The date of issue of a policy for the purpose of this section is the date as of which the rated age of the insured is determined. In the case of a policy providing an amount of insurance varying with duration of the policy, the equivalent uniform amount thereof for the purpose of this section is considered to be the uniform amount of insurance provided by an otherwise similar policy, containing the same endowment benefit or benefits, if any, issued at the same age and for the same term, the amount of which does not vary with duration and the benefits under which have the same present value at the inception of the insurance as the benefits under the policy. However, in the case of a policy providing a varying amount of insurance issued on the life of a child under the age ten, the equivalent uniform amount may be computed as though the amount of insurance provided by the policy prior to the attainment of age ten were the amount provided by the policy at age ten. The adjusted premiums for any policy providing term insurance benefits by rider or supplemental policy provision is equal to (i) the adjusted premiums for an otherwise similar policy issued at the same age without the term insurance benefits, increased, during the period for which premiums for the term insurance benefits are payable, by (ii) the adjusted premiums for the term insurance, the foregoing items (i) and (ii) being calculated separately and as specified in the first two paragraphs of this section except that, for the purposes of (b), (c), and (d) of the first such paragraph, the amount of insurance or equivalent uniform amount of insurance used in the calculation of the adjusted premiums referred to in (ii) must be equal to the excess of the corresponding amount determined for the entire policy over the amount used in the calculation of the adjusted premiums in (i).
