      (b)      The Commissioner must be satisfied that:

            (1)      the benefits provided under the plan described in subsection (a) of this section are substantially as favorable to policyholders and insureds as the minimum benefits otherwise required by §§ 16-303 through 16-309 of this subtitle; and

            (2)      the benefits and the pattern of premiums under the plan do not mislead prospective policyholders or insureds.

      (c)      The cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits provided by a plan subject to this section may not be less than the minimum values and benefits required for the plan calculated by a method consistent with the principles of this subtitle, as determined by regulations adopted by the Commissioner.
