serve method), less a specified maximum percentage (not more than two
and one-half) of the maximum amount insured by the policy and of exist-
ing dividend additions thereto, if any, and less any existing indebtedness to
the company on or secured by the policy; provided a company may, in lieu
of the provision herein permitted for the deduction from the reserve of a
sum not more than two and one-half per centum of the amount insured by
the policy and of any dividend additions thereto, insert in the policy a pro-

purchase of insurance as aforesaid; and provided, further, that the com-
pany may defer payment for not more than six months after the
application therefor is made. In the event that such application is not

form of insurance shall automatically become effective. This provision shall
not be required in Term insurance of twenty years or less.

F of this section.

(J) Any policy may be issued or delivered in this State which, in
the opinion of the Commissioner, contains provisions on any one or more
of the several foregoing requirements more favorable to the policyholder
than hereinbefore required.

laws of any other State, territory, or foreign government, may contain,
when issued or delivered in this State, any provision which may be required
by the laws of the State or government under which the company is organ-
ized, and the policies of a life insurance company, organized under the laws

foreign country, may contain any provision required by the laws of such
State, territory, or foreign country, to be contained in the policies issued
therein.
