(b) Payment of any annual pure endowment benefits shall not be made contingent upon the payment of premiums falling due on or after the time the annual pure endowment benefit has matured.

(2) This section shall not apply to Educational Endowment-type policies in which the amounts of annual pure endowments, payable during the endowment period, are greater than the annual premiums for the respective years in which such endowments are paid.
