The OTC will be solely responsible for the accuracy and content of directory listings it provides and will insure that listings conform to Verizon PA s specifications with respect to its directories. If Verizon PA publishes such listings as submitted by the OTC, the OTC will indemnify Verizon PA and its affiliates, representatives and agents (and the directory publisher if different) from any and all damages (including attorney s fees) arising out of any claim for any reason relating to directory listings it provides to Verizon PA. 3. Verizon PA reserves the right to limit the length of any listing in the directory by the use of abbreviations when, in its judgment, the clearness of the listing or the identification of the customers is not impaired thereby. Where more than one line is required to properly list the customer, no additional charge applies. 4. Each listing must be designated Residential, Government or Business to be placed in the appropriate section of the directory. In order to aid the user of the directory, and to avoid misleading or deceiving the calling party as to the identity of the listed party, only business listings may be placed in the Business section and only residential listings in the Residential section. Verizon PA, upon notification to the OTC, will withdraw any listing which is found to be in violation of its rules.

The OTC will adhere to all practices, standards, and ethical requirements of Verizon PA with regard to listings, and will reasonably warrant to Verizon PA that it has the right to place such listings on behalf of its end users, and that any business or person to be listed is authorized and has the right (1) to provide the product or service offered, and (2) to use any personal or corporate name, trade name or language used in the listing. 11. Verizon PA will give the OTC s end users directory listing information the same level of confidentiality that Verizon PA gives its own directory listing information. 12.
