(h) The value of the consideration received by the debtor was reasonably equivalent to the value of the asset transferred or the amount of the obligation incurred;
(i) The debtor was insolvent or became insolvent shortly after the transfer was made or the obligation was incurred;
(j) The transfer had occurred shortly before or shortly after a substantial debt was incurred; and
(k) The debtor had transferred the essential assets of the business to a lienor who had transferred the assets to an insider of the debtor.
(3) A creditor making a claim for relief under this section has the burden of proving the elements of the claim for relief by preponderance of the evidence.
