Oklahoma Pawnshop Act has failed to pay any fee or charge properly

imposed by the Administrator under the authority of the Oklahoma

Pawnshop Act;

2. The licensee, either knowingly or without the exercise of

due care to prevent the same, has violated any provision of the

Oklahoma Pawnshop Act or any rule or order lawfully made pursuant to

and within the authority of the Oklahoma Pawnshop Act; or

3. Any fact or condition exists which, if it had existed or had

been known to exist at the time of the original application for a

license, clearly would have justified the Administrator in refusing

the license.

C. Any licensee may surrender any license by delivering it to

the Administrator with written notice of its surrender, but such

surrender shall not affect the licensee's civil or criminal

liability for acts committed prior thereto.
