(4) That the agent has misappropriated or withheld from a burial association or burial agent any money or property received or collected by him for such burial association or burial agent.

(5) Any cause for which issuance the burial agent license could have been refused had it then existed and had been known to the Board.

(6) That the agent has willfully violated any provisions of this act.
