(i) Insurance on his own interests or those of his family or of his employer; or

(ii) Insurance or annuity contracts covering himself or members of his family, or the officers, directors, stockholders, partners or employees of a partnership, association or corporation of which he or a member of his family is an officer, director, stockholder, partner, associate or employee.

(b) A license is deemed to have been or intended to be used principally for the purpose of writing controlled business if the commissioner finds that during any twelve (12) month period the aggregate commissions earned from controlled business as specified in this section have exceeded or probably will exceed the aggregate commissions to be earned on other business written by an applicant or licensee during the same period.
