a temporary license is issued to him. Such temporary license may
be issued with restrictions or conditions [; provided, however, that
if such temporary license or notice of refusal thereof is not received
from the Commissioner within ten days from the date the applica-
tion was sent to the Commissioner, the insurer may assume that the
temporary license will be issued in due course and the applicant may

may be issued a temporary license for such period of time as the
Commissioner may deem necessary for the continuation of the busi-
ness of the agent or broker [; temporary licenses for industrial life
insurance collectors shall be issued, provided that such license would
permit the selling of only industrial life insurance and remain in
effect for six months, subject to renewal for a period of 60 days
unless the Commissioner finds that the temporary licensee has
violated any of the provisions of Section 175 of this article].
