(3) Is not fulfilling its contracts in good faith; or

After such notice the society shall have a thirty-day period in which to comply with the director's request for correction, and if the society fails to comply, the director shall notify the society of such findings of noncompliance and require the society to show cause on a date named why its license should not be suspended, revoked or refused. If on such a date the society does not present good and sufficient reason why its authority to do business in this state should not be suspended, revoked or refused, the director may suspend or refuse the license of the society to do business in this state until satisfactory evidence is furnished to the director that such suspension or refusal should be withdrawn or the director may revoke the authority of the society to do business in this state.

2. Nothing contained in this section shall be taken or construed as preventing any such society from continuing in good faith all contracts made in this state during the time such society was legally authorized to transact business herein.
