one percent of:(A)
the amount of insurance, if the insurance is uniform in amount; or(B)
the average amount of insurance at the beginning of each of the first 10 policy years; and(3)

The nonforfeiture net level premium must be equal to the present value, at the date of issue of the policy, of the guaranteed benefits available under the policy divided by the present value, on the date of issue of the policy, of an annuity of one per year payable on the date of issue of the policy and on each anniversary of the policy on which a premium becomes due.
