6)	A determination by the Superintendent of Insurance that continuation of the present premium volume of the COMPANY would jeopardize the COMPANY's policyholders, creditors or the public, or continuing the bond itself would place the COMPANY in violation of any provision of the New York Insurance Code; or
(7)	Where the COMPANY has reason to believe, in good faith and with sufficient cause, that there is a probable risk or danger that the Property will be destroyed by the ASSURED for the purpose of collecting the insurance proceeds.
