(2) If the debts of the transferor are not to be paid in full as they fall due or if the transferee is in doubt on that point then the notice shall state further: (a) the location and general description of the property to be transferred and the estimated total of the transferor's debts; (b) the address where the schedule of property and list of creditors (section 28:6—104) may be inspected; (c) whether the transfer is to pay existing debts and if so the amount of such debts and to whom owing; (d) whether the transfer is for new consideration and if so the amount of such consideration and the time and place of payment.
