(f) The following terms are used in the

				  liability coverage. The definitions are intended to assist in the understanding
				  of these rules and are not intended to limit the meanings of terms in a way
				  that conflicts with generally accepted accounting practices.
"Assets'' means all existing and all probable future
					 economic benefits obtained or controlled by a particular entity.
"Current assets'' means cash or other assets or resources
					 commonly identified as those which are reasonably expected to be realized in
					 cash or sold or consumed during the normal operating cycle of the
					 business.
"Current liabilities'' means obligations whose liquidation
					 is reasonably expected to require the use of existing resources properly
					 classifiable as current assets or the creation of other current
					 liabilities.
"Current plugging and abandonment cost estimate'' means
					 the most recent of the estimates prepared in accordance with
					 40 CFR
					 144.62(a), (b), and

(g) In the liability insurance requirements
				  the terms ''bodily injury'' and ''property damage'' shall have the meanings
				  given these terms by applicable State law. However, these terms do not include
				  those liabilities which, consistent with standard industry practice, are
				  excluded from coverage in liability policies for bodily injury and property
				  damage. The department intends the meanings of other terms used in the
				  liability insurance requirements to be consistent with their common meanings
				  within the insurance industry. The definitions given below of several of the
				  terms are intended to assist in the understanding of these rules and are not
				  intended to limit their meanings in a way that conflicts with general insurance
				  industry usage.

					 continuous or repeated exposure to conditions, which results in bodily injury
					 or property damage neither expected nor intended from the standpoint of the
					 insured.
"Legal defense costs'' means any expenses that an insurer

					 conditions of an insurance policy.

					 is not continuous or repeated in nature.
(h) "Substantial business relationship''
				  means the extent of a business relationship necessary under applicable State
				  law to make a guarantee contract issued incident to that relationship valid and
				  enforceable. A substantial business relationship'' must arise from a pattern of
				  recent or ongoing business transactions, in addition to the guarantee itself,
				  such that a currently existing business relationship between the guarantor and
				  the owner or operator is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
				  director.
