Section 2.2 Successor Restrictions.

(a) Subject to the exclusions, exceptions and limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, following a Change of Control of Verizon whereby Verizon is no longer directly bound as a Party to this Agreement (e.g., because the Change of Control is a sale or transfer of assets or is the result of a transaction pursuant to which the successor, surviving or acquiring entity (the “Verizon Successor”) does not automatically succeed to the obligations of Verizon by operation of law), Verizon shall require the Verizon Successor to agree in writing to assume this Agreement on substantially similar terms as are then in effect hereunder.

(b) Subject to the exclusions, exceptions and limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, if Verizon exits any Service Area in the Publisher Region as a result of (i) a sale, assignment or other transfer of access lines, (ii) a merger or other business combination transaction with a Person in respect of access lines, or (iii) any other agreement with any third Person pursuant to which such Person shall provide local telephone service in lieu of Verizon in such Service Area (or portion thereof), and, in any of the foregoing cases, such event does not constitute a Change of Control: (A) Verizon shall, if Publisher has entered into with the acquiring Person binding agreements on terms substantially similar to the Publishing Agreement and Branding Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 3.8(c) of the Publishing Agreement), require the acquiring Person to agree to enter into with Publisher, and Publisher shall enter into with such Person, a binding agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, excluding Section 2.1(b), with respect to the relevant Service Area(s) and (B) neither Publisher nor Verizon shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement other than with respect to such Service Area or portion thereof.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Verizon or any its Affiliates from acting as a sales agent or entering into a joint venture, strategic alliance, product bundling, revenue sharing or similar relationship with an entity that is engaged in a Verizon Restricted Activity or any activity that would constitute a violation of the IYP Restrictions so long as Verizon or such Affiliate (it being understood that no Person with which Verizon or any of its Affiliates enters into any relationship contemplated by this Section 2.3(e) shall be considered an Affiliate of Verizon or any of its Affiliates) is not itself engaged in any activity in connection with such relationship that is a Verizon Restricted Activity or a violation of the IYP Restrictions.

ARTICLE III

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 3.1 Notice. Publisher shall promptly notify Verizon of any activity it believes violates or will violate any of its rights under Article II (a “Restricted Activity Notice”), which Restricted Activity Notice shall indicate whether Publisher reasonably believes the alleged or threatened breach is capable of cure. Verizon shall respond in writing within 15 Business Days to any Restricted Activity Notice it receives, describing any objection to the assertions set forth in such Restricted Activity Notice or, if such matters are not objected to, describing its intentions regarding the cure of such violation(s).

Section 3.2 Cure. If a breach or threatened breach of Verizon’s obligations under Article II is capable of cure (a “Remediable Breach”), Verizon shall have 90 days after its receipt of a Restricted Activity Notice with respect to such Remediable Breach to cure such Remediable Breach (“Covenant Cure Period”); provided, however, that such Covenant Cure Period shall be extended for such additional period of time as shall be reasonably necessary to permit Verizon to cure or cause to be cured such Remediable Breach if such Remediable Breach has not been remedied within the initial Covenant Cure Period, so long as during the initial Covenant Cure Period Verizon diligently endeavors to cure or cause to be cured such Remediable Breach, and if such extension would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Publisher. If the existence of a Remediable Breach is disputed in good faith and a timely manner, but it is then determined pursuant to Section 3.3 that such Remediable Breach exists, Verizon shall then have 60 days from the date of such determination (or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to cure or caused to be cured such Remediable Breach as may be permitted on the same terms and conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence) to cure or caused to be cured such Remediable Breach.

Section 3.3 Escalation. If there is any continuing objection or dispute in connection with a Restricted Activity Notice following the Covenant Cure Period, if applicable, the Parties shall refer such dispute to a senior executive officer of each of Verizon and Publisher, who shall for 15 Business Days attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute and determine the appropriate remedial action.

ARTICLE IV

REMEDIES AND ENFORCEMENT

Section 4.1 Injunctive Relief. Verizon recognizes and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of any of its obligations under Article II would cause irreparable harm to Publisher and its Affiliates, that Publisher’s remedies at law in the event of such breach or threatened breach would be inadequate. Accordingly, if Verizon fails to cure or cause to be cured any breach or threatened breach after notice thereof and, if applicable, expiration of the Covenant Cure Period (and any extension thereof as contemplated by Section 3.2), a restraining order or injunction or both may be issued against Verizon, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy that may be available to Publisher, without posting any bond or other form of security and without the necessity of proving actual damages. In connection with any such action or proceeding for injunctive relief, Verizon hereby agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each provision of this Section 4.1 specifically enforced against it, and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against it, enforcing or restraining any breach or threatened breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 4.2 Term and Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective at the Effective Time and remain in effect until the 30^th anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated in whole or in part as provided herein; provided, however, that the restrictions in Section 2.1 applicable to the Independent Markets will terminate on the 5^th anniversary of the Effective Date unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4.2(e) or any other provision of this Agreement.

(b) If the Publishing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately.

(c) If the Publishing Agreement is terminated with respect to one or more Service Areas pursuant to any of the provisions of Section 6.2 thereof, Verizon may terminate the restrictions under Article II with respect to such Service Area(s).

(d) If the Branding Agreement is terminated with respect to one or more Service Areas pursuant to Section 11(d)(v) thereof, Verizon may terminate the restrictions under Article II with respect to such Service Area(s).

(e) The provisions of this Agreement will cease to apply to any Independent Markets if any of Verizon or its Affiliates (i) becomes a LEC in such Independent Market by merger, acquisition of assets or stock or otherwise and is subject to Publishing Obligations with respect to such Independent Market, or (ii) acquires a business not more than 20% of the revenues of which are derived from the publication of print telephone directories and such business publishes one or more telephone directories which are primarily distributed in such Independent Market.

(f) If this Agreement is terminated with respect to one or more Independent Markets pursuant to Section 4.2(e), Publisher’s rights under Section 2(b) of the Branding Agreement with respect to such Independent Market(s) shall terminate on the 18-month anniversary of such termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.3 Acknowledgments. Verizon expressly agrees that the duration, scope and geographic area of the restrictions set forth in each of Article II are reasonable. Verizon acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and restrictions above are necessary, fundamental and required for the protection of Publisher’s business, that such covenants and restrictions relate to matters that are of a special, unique and extraordinary value and that the Parties would not enter into the Distribution Agreement or the Publishing Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby, without the protection provided by this Agreement.

Section 4.4 Enforcement. The covenants set forth in Article II shall be construed as divided in separate and distinct covenants with respect to each jurisdiction. If any provision or covenant in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any jurisdiction in which either Party seeks enforcement hereof, such provision shall be limited to the extent required to permit enforcement under such laws. If, in any proceeding, a court or arbitral panel refuses to enforce any of the separate covenants

contained herein, then such unenforceable covenant shall be deemed eliminated from this Agreement for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. If the provisions of this Agreement are ever deemed to exceed the duration, geographical limitations or scope permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time or geographic limitations in scope, as the case may be, permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 5.1 Confidentiality. Each Party may disclose to the other Confidential Information. Each Party agrees to keep Confidential Information of the other Party confidential, and not to disclose such information to any third Party, except to those of its employees, subcontractors, consultants and agents with a need to know such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing the receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Commercial Agreements and as otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the other Commercial Agreements; provided, that any such employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents shall first be informed by the recipient Party of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and agree to be bound by confidentiality terms no less restrictive than those set forth herein. The recipient of Confidential Information may use the Confidential Information and make copies of Confidential Information only as reasonably necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Commercial Agreements and as otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the other Commercial Agreements. All such copies will be subject to the same restrictions and protections as the original. Each Party will safeguard such Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure with at least the same degree of care with which the recipient Party safeguards its own Confidential Information. The recipient Party will be responsible for any breach of the obligations set forth herein by the recipient’s employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents. Confidential Information belonging to a Party that is in the possession of the other Party will be returned, or destroyed at the disclosing Party’s request, within 30 days after a written request is delivered to the recipient, including any copies made by the recipient Party. If either Party loses or makes an unauthorized disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information, it will notify such other Party immediately and use commercially reasonable efforts to retrieve the lost or wrongfully disclosed information. A Party may disclose Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed by law, a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental or administrative agency so long as the disclosing Party has been notified of the requirement promptly after the receiving Party becomes aware of the requirement and so long as the receiving Party undertakes all lawful measures to avoid disclosing such information until the disclosing Party has had reasonable time to seek a protective order and complies with any protective order that covers the Confidential Information to be disclosed.

Section 5.2 Further Assurances. Each Party shall take such other actions as any other Party may reasonably request or as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate or implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to evidence such events or matters.

Section 5.3 No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement, and no action of or inaction by any of the Parties, shall be deemed or construed to constitute an agency relationship between the Parties. Each Party is acting independently of the other and neither Party has the authority to act on behalf of or bind the other Party.

Section 5.4 Governing Law; Service of Process; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations between the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof to the extent such rules would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

No waiver of any provision nor consent to any exception to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by all Parties and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance so provided. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise or delay in exercising any right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any further or other exercise of such or any other right.

Section 5.7 No Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder are assignable by one Party without the express prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that:

(i) either Party may assign this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party to any of its Affiliates without the consent of the other Party if the assigning Party requires such Affiliate to agree in writing to assume this Agreement and the assigning Party remains liable for its obligations under each such agreement;

(ii) a Change of Control of either Party shall not be deemed to be an assignment of this Agreement, provided that if the relevant Party is no longer directly bound as a Party to this Agreement (e.g., because the Change of Control is a sale or transfer of assets or is the result of a transaction pursuant to which the successor, surviving or acquiring entity does not automatically succeed to the obligations of such Party by operation of law), the successor, surviving or acquiring entity shall agree in writing (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party) to assume this Agreement; and

(iii) Publisher may assign this Agreement as to the Primary Directories with respect to any Service Areas to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Publisher), provided that such Person shall agree in writing (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Verizon) to assume this Agreement to the extent of the relevant Service Area(s) and Verizon consents in writing to such assignment (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld).

This Agreement, including any schedules attached hereto, and the Commercial Agreements constitute the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.

Section 5.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, to achieve the intent of the Parties. All other provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the extent possible.

Section 5.11 Headings. The descriptive headings of the Articles, Sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
