17B:17-5.  Annuity defined
     "Annuity"  is a contract not coming within the definition of life insurance  as set forth in section 17B:17-3, or health insurance as set forth in section  17B:17-4, under which an insurer obligates itself to make periodic payments for  a specified period of time, such as for a number of years, or until the  happening of an event, or for life, or for a period of time determined by any  combination thereof.  Such a contract which includes extra benefits of the  kinds set forth in sections 17B:17-3 or 17B:17-4 shall nevertheless be deemed  to be an annuity if such extra benefits constitute a subsidiary or incidental  part of the entire contract.
