In the case of contracts issued on or after the operative date of this part as defined in 33-20-513, no contract of annuity except as stated in 33-20-502 shall be delivered or issued for delivery in this state unless it contains in substance the following provisions or corresponding provisions which in the opinion of the commissioner are at least as favorable to the contract holder, upon cessation of payment of considerations under the contract:
(1) that upon cessation of payment of considerations under a contract the company will grant a paid-up annuity benefit on a plan stipulated in the contract of such value as is specified in 33-20-506 through 33-20-509 and 33-20-511;
(2) that if a contract provides for a lump-sum settlement at maturity or at any other time, than upon surrender of the contract at or prior to the commencement of any annuity payments, the company will pay in lieu of any paid-up annuity benefit a cash surrender benefit of such amount as is specified in 33-20-506, 33-20-507, 33-20-509, and 33-20-511. The company shall reserve the right to defer the payment of such cash surrender benefit for a period of 6 months after demand therefor with surrender of the contract.
(3) a statement of the mortality table, if any, and interest rates used in calculating any minimum paid-up annuity, cash surrender, or death benefits that are guaranteed under the contract, together with sufficient information to determine the amounts of such benefits;
(4) a statement that any paid-up annuity, cash surrender, or death benefits that may be available under the contract are not less than the minimum benefits required by any statute of the state in which the contract is delivered and an explanation of the manner in which such benefits are altered by the existence of any additional amounts credited by the company to the contract, any indebtedness to the company on the contract, or any prior withdrawals from or partial surrenders of the contract.
