(a) There shall be a provision that unless the policy has been surrendered for its cash value, or its cash surrender value has been exhausted or the period of any extended insurance provided by the policy has expired, the policy will be reinstated at any time within two years after the date of premium default upon written application therefor, the production of evidence of insurability satisfactory to the insurer, the payment of all overdue premiums and payment or, within the limits permitted by the then cash value of the policy, reinstatement of any other indebtedness to the insurer upon the policy with interest as to both premiums and indebtedness at a rate not exceeding six percent per annum compounded annually.
(b) If for the purpose of or toward reinstatement of a policy after its lapse the insurer receives a payment or tender of premium or other funds in amount less than as required to effectuate the reinstatement so as to place the policy currently in full force, then, within 60 days after the receipt of such payment or tender, the insurer shall either:
(1) Collect whatever amount is necessary to effectuate the reinstatement and place the policy in full force and effect currently;
(2) Refund to the person entitled thereto all such payments and amounts tendered and refuse the reinstatement; or
(3) In the absence of action referred to in subdivisions (1) or (2) of this subsection the insurer shall be deemed as a matter of law to have effectuated reinstatement of the policy so that it is in full force and effect currently as of the end of such 60-day period and to have forever waived the payment or collection of all premiums and amounts theretofore due and unpaid under the policy.
(c) The provisions made in subsection (b) of this section need not be contained in the policy.
