following:
(a) The applicant was previously the holder of a license, which license was revoked for cause and never reissued, or which license was suspended for cause and the terms of suspension have not been fulfilled.

(a) The applicant was previously the holder of a license, which license was revoked for cause and never reissued, or which license was suspended for cause and the terms of suspension have not been fulfilled.
