(b) The licensee, either knowingly or without any exercise of due care to prevent it, has violated any provision of this chapter or any lawful regulation adopted under it;
(c) The licensee has failed to pay a tax as required pursuant to the provisions of chapter 363A or 363C of NRS;
(d) Any fact or condition exists which would have justified the Commissioner in denying the licensee’s original application for a license hereunder; or
(e) The applicant failed to open an office for the conduct of the business authorized under this chapter within 120 days after the date the license was issued, or has failed to remain open for the conduct of the business for a period of 120 days without good cause therefor.
