Directories Including Service Area LEC's Listings. Nothing in the Publishing Agreement, including without limitation this Branding Exhibit, will, or is intended to, affect the rights of QC or any other Person under applicable law to use trademarks, service marks, and/or trade names in a descriptive sense, including, without limitation, use permitted by applicable law without a license (e.g., to identify and refer to a carrier whose subscribers or subscribers' advertisements are included in a Directory Product published by a directory publisher other than Publishing Agreement for Official Listing/Directories Execution Copy Publisher), provided that nothing in the foregoing will (a) permit QC to imply, or authorize any other Person to imply (subject to Section 2.3), that QC or such other Person is an official publisher of QC for Primary Directories or authorized Secondary Directories, or (b) permit QC's name (or the name of QC's Affiliates that use or include the same name as the Service Area LEC ) to appear on the cover of Primary Directories or Secondary Directories in breach of QC's obligations under the Noncompetition Agreement except in a descriptive sense. For the avoidance of doubt, QC shall not authorize (either directly or indirectly) any third party to claim to be the official directory publisher of, to be the endorsed or preferred publisher of, or to have any similar status with respect to Primary Directories or Secondary Directories for a Service Area in the Exclusive Field for so long as Publisher has the right to refer to itself as the official publisher of Primary Directories or Secondary Directories for such Service Area pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of this Branding Exhibit.
