Martin Operating sued for breach of contract in connection with this transaction; it sought indemnification from QEP Marine for the purchased.company’s state excise tax liability, an uncollectible account receivable, and federally mandated overtime pay obligations. The trial court signed a take-nothing summary judgment in favor of QEP Marine, which Martin Operating now challenges on appeal.
