. A disability policy shall contain a provision which shall
be in the form set forth herein. The last sentence of such provision
may be omitted from a noncancellable policy.
Reinstatement: If any renewal premium be not paid within the time
granted the insured for payment, a subsequent acceptance of premium
by the insurer or by any agent duly authorized by the insurer to
accept such premium, without requiring in connection therewith an
application for reinstatement, shall reinstate the policy; provided,
however, that if the insurer or such agent requires an application
for reinstatement and issues a conditional receipt for the premium
tendered, the policy will be reinstated upon approval of such
application by the insurer or, lacking such approval, upon the
forty-fifth day following the date of such conditional receipt unless
the insurer has previously notified the insured in writing of its
disapproval of such application. The reinstated policy shall cover
only loss resulting from such accidental injury as may be sustained
after the date of reinstatement and loss due to such sickness as may
begin more than 10 days after such date. In all other respects the
insured and insurer shall have the same rights thereunder as they had
under the policy immediately before the due date of the defaulted
premium, subject to any provisions endorsed hereon or attached hereto
in connection with the reinstatement. Any premium accepted in
connection with a reinstatement shall be applied to a period for
which premium has not been previously paid, but not to any period
more than 60 days prior to the date of reinstatement.
