(b) That the acts of the directors or those in control of the corporation are illegal, oppressive or fraudulent; or
(c) That the corporate assets are being misapplied or wasted; or
(d) That the corporation is unable to carry out its purposes.
(2) In an action by a creditor:
(a) When the claim of the creditor has been reduced to judgment and an execution thereon has been returned unsatisfied and it is established that the corporation is insolvent; or
(b) When the corporation has admitted in writing that the claim of the creditor is due and owing and it is established that the corporation is insolvent.
(3) Upon application by a corporation to have its dissolution continued under the supervision of the court.
(4) When an action has been filed by the attorney general to dissolve a corporation under the provisions of this chapter and it is established that liquidation of its affairs should precede the entry of a decree of dissolution.
