Such new bond or rider shall be filed within 10 days from the date of the authority's order. Failure of the licensee to comply shall constitute good and sufficient cause for the revocation, cancellation, suspension, recall or nonrenewal of the license. The requirements of this subdivision shall not apply when the license period during which the surety bond was effective has expired.
