1.2.1 "Before approving any policy provision providing for a rate of interest in excess of 6%, the Commissioner may require assurances by the insurer that the holders of such policies will benefit from the increased earnings of the insurer resulting from the use of such higher rates, through the use of higher dividends or lower premiums, or both."
