(1) Any reversionary annuity contract shall contain the provisions specified in 23-81-122 -- 23-81-126, except that under 23-81-122 the insurer may at its option provide for an equitable reduction of the amount of the annuity payments in settlement of an overdue or deferred payment in lieu of providing for deduction of the payments from an amount payable upon settlement under the contract; and
