I have read the Franchise Agreement between BOULDER DESIGNS FRANCHISING, LLC and (the "Franchisee").
I own a beneficial interest in the Franchisee, and would be considered an "Owner" within the definition contained in Franchise Agreement.
I understand that, were it not for this Guaranty and Assumption of Obligation ("Guaranty"), Franchisor would not have agreed to enter into the Franchise Agreement with the Franchisee.
