(b) sold or disposed of any property of the insurer without consideration or for an inadequate
consideration;
(c) acquired any property or rights for an excessive consideration;
(d) entered into or varied any agreement so as to require an excessive consideration to be paid or

(f) if a composite insurer, transferred any property from his life department to his general
department without consideration or for an inadequate consideration;
