(2) Has refused to pay its depositors or obligations in accordance with the terms under which such deposits or obligations were incurred.
(3) Has refused to submit its records and affairs for inspection or examination by federal or state banking authorities.

(5) Requests through its board of directors that the commissioner take possession for the benefit of depositors, other creditors, and stockholders.
(6) Has had its deposit insurance contract with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation terminated or is subject to an agreement or a final order to terminate that insurance.
