If the incorporators fail to complete the organization of a State association and to cause it to commence business within 6 months from the date when authority is granted to them to do so, the said certificate of incorporation shall ipso facto become null and void; except that, for good cause shown, the commissioner may, in his discretion, on application of the State association extend for additional periods, not in excess of 6 months each, the time within which such State association may complete its organization and commence business provided that the initial application shall be made before the expiration of 6 months from the date authority is granted to commence business and any subsequent application shall be made before the expiration of any subsequent period for which permission to extend has been granted by the commissioner.
