(2) The policy provision set forth in subsection (1) of this section shall not be so construed as to affect any legal requirement for avoidance of a policy or denial of a claim during such initial two-year period, or to limit the application of ORS 743.450 to 743.462 in the event of misstatement with respect to age or occupation or other insurance.
(3) A policy which the insured has the right to continue in force subject to its terms by the timely payment of premium until at least age 50 or, in the case of a policy issued after age 44, for at least five years from its date of issue, may contain in lieu of the provision set forth in subsection (1) of this section the following provision, from which the clause in parentheses may be omitted at the insurer’s option: "INCONTESTABLE: After this policy has been in force for a period of two years during the lifetime of the insured (excluding any period during which the insured is disabled), it shall become incontestable as to the statements contained in the application."
(4) The policy shall contain a provision as follows, which shall be a separate paragraph under the same caption as, and immediately following, the provision set forth in subsection (1) or (3) of this section: "No claim for loss incurred or disability, as defined in the policy, commencing after two years from the date of issue of this policy shall be reduced or denied on the ground that a disease or physical condition not excluded from coverage by name or specific description effective on the date of loss had existed prior to the effective date of coverage of this policy."
