1. His conviction of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, in which case the record of conviction is conclusive evidence.
2. Wilful disobedience or violation of an order of the court, requiring him to do or forbear an act connected with or in course of his profession, and any violation of the oath taken by him or his duties as such attorney and counselor.
3. Corruptly and without authority appearing as attorney for a party to an action or proceeding.
4. Lending his name to be used as an attorney and counselor by any other person who is not an attorney and counselor.
5. Failure for ten (10) days after written demand, and payment or tender of the fees and expenses due him from his client to pay over or deliver any money or other property belonging to his client which he shall have received in his office of attorney or counselor in the course of collection or settlement of any claim or demand.
