(f) A provision that if the age of the person insured, or the age of
any other person considered in determining the premium, has been
misstated, any amount payable or benefit accruing under the policy
shall be such as the premium would have purchased at the correct
age or ages.
(g) If a participating policy, there shall be a provision that the
insurer shall annually ascertain and apportion any divisible surplus
accruing under the policy and that dividends arising from such ap-
portionment shall be credited annually beginning not later than the
fifth policy year; but any dividends arising from such apportionment
shall not be made contingent upon the payment of any further pre-
mium except that if dividends are allowed on an anniversary of the
policy prior to the third, such dividends may be made subject to the
payment of the succeeding year's premium. The insurer shall state
the manner in which such divisible surplus shall be paid to the policy-
holder. The insurer may elect that such payment be made in any
one of the following ways, the manner to be stated in the policy, or it
may grant the policyholder the right to select the manner of pay-

(2) applied to the payment of premiums, or
(3) applied to the purchase of paid-up additions, or

(j) A provision that when the policy becomes a claim by the death
of the insured, settlement shall be made within sixty days after
receipt of due proof of death, or, at the option of the insurer, after
receipt of due proof of death and surrender of the policy.

may be changed by an endorsement signed by a duly authorized
officer of the insurer.
(I) Each such policy shall have the name of the beneficiary desig-
