(1) provides for future premium determination, the amounts of which are to be determined by the insurance company based on then estimates of future experience; or
(2) is such that minimum values cannot be determined by a method described by Sections 1105.004-1105.009, Subchapter B, or Subchapter D.
(b) The department must be satisfied that:
(1) the benefits provided under the plan are substantially as favorable to policyholders and insureds as the minimum benefits otherwise required by Sections 1105.004-1105.009, Subchapter B, or Subchapter D; and
(2) the benefits and the pattern of premiums of the plan are not such as to mislead prospective policyholders or insured persons.

(d) Notwithstanding any other law of this state, any policy, contract, or certificate providing life insurance under the plan must be approved by the department before the plan may be marketed, issued, delivered, or used in this state.
