(2) Practices fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation;
(3) Makes a material misstatement in the application for or renewal of the license; or
(4) Commits any act that would disqualify the qualifying agent.
(b) After the licensee has exhausted the right of appeal or, if the licensee does not seek a hearing, the licensee shall immediately cease to operate the business for the time period provided in the order of suspension or permanently in the case of revocation and shall notify all of its clients of the revocation or suspension and maintain a copy of the notices in its business records.
