No such company, officer, agent or broker shall at any time pay or allow, or offer to pay or allow, any rebate of any premium paid or payable on any policy of insurance or any annuity or pure endowment contract. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent any life company from making supplemental agreements, not specified in the policy, which give the policy owner or insured the right to borrow money from the life company in connection with a student loan insurance program, pursuant to United States Public Law 89: 329, or pursuant to any similar federal statute; provided, however, that such loans are to be made, issued, assumed or guaranteed by the United States of America or any instrumentality thereof, or by any state of the United States. For purposes of this Section conducting promotional or advertising programs whereby prizes, goods, wares, gift cards, gift certificates, event tickets, merchandise and other items not exceeding $100.00 in value per customer or prospective customer in the aggregate in any one calendar year does not violate this Section.
