innocent successor corporation may establish the fair market value
of total gross assets for the purpose of the limitations under
Section 5 of this act through any method reasonable under the
circumstances, including:
1. By reference to the going concern value of the assets or to
the purchase price attributable to or paid for the assets in an
arm's-length transaction; or
2. In the absence of other readily available information from
which fair market value can be determined, by reference to the value
of the assets recorded on a balance sheet.
B. Total gross assets include intangible assets.
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 76. Torts Page 72
C. To the extent total gross assets include any liability
insurance issued to the transferor whose assets are being valued for
the purposes of this section, the applicability, terms, conditions,
and limits of such insurance shall not be affected by this act, nor
shall the Innocent Successor Asbestos-Related Liability Fairness Act
otherwise affect the rights and obligations of a transferor,
successor, or insurer under any insurance contract and/or any
related agreements, including, without limitation, rights and
obligations under preenactment settlements between a transferor or
successor and its insurers resolving liability insurance coverage,
and the rights of an insurer to seek payment for applicable
deductibles, retrospective premiums or self-insured retentions or to
seek contribution from a successor for uninsured or self-insured
periods or periods where insurance is uncollectible or otherwise
unavailable. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent total
gross assets include any such liability insurance, a settlement of a
dispute concerning any such liability insurance coverage entered
into by a transferor or successor with the insurers of the
transferor before the effective date of the Innocent Successor
Asbestos-Related Liability Fairness Act shall be determinative of
the total coverage of such liability insurance to be included in the
calculation of the transferor's total gross assets.
