This obligation extends not only to the Master Franchisee's own actions but also to the actions of specific individuals associated with the Master Franchisee's operations.
The parties whose actions the Master Franchisee must indemnify Bhc against include any Principal Equity Operator and the Master Franchisee's General Manager.
