The innocent successor corporation does not have responsibility for successor asbestos-related liabilities in excess of this limitation.2. If the transferor had assumed or incurred successor asbestos-related liabilities or liabilities in connection with a prior merger or consolidation with a prior transferor, then the fair market value of the total assets of the prior transferor determined as of the time of the earlier merger or consolidation must be substituted for the limitation set forth in subsection 1 for purposes of determining the limitation of liability of an innocent successor corporation.
