The dispute concerned whether an agreement transferring rights to an asset also transferred the obligation to pay an associated pre-existing debt, where the written document was ambiguous regarding the assumption of liabilities. The court reasoned that when the document was silent on the assumption of liabilities, the overall nature of the transaction and the conduct of the parties could be examined to determine their intent, concluding that the transfer of the asset, which was the primary subject of the agreement, implied the assumption of the related debt as a necessary incident of the transfer, despite the lack of explicit language assuming the liability.
