Franchisee has, or will acquire during the Term of the Franchise Agreement, certain right, title, and interest in and to those certain telephone numbers and regular, classified, yellowpage, and other telephone directory listings (collectively, the "Numbers and Listings") related to the Franchised Business or the Marks (all of which right, title, and interest is referred to herein as "Franchisee's Interest").
2.2 Transfer. On Termination of the Franchise Agreement, if Franchisor directs Franchisee to do so, Franchisee will immediately direct all telephone companies, telephone directory publishers, and telephone directory listing agencies (collectively, the "Telephone Companies") with which Franchisee has Telephone Numbers and Listings: (i) to transfer all Franchisee's Interest in such Telephone Numbers and Listings to Franchisor; and (ii) to execute such documents and take such actions as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, the Telephone Listing Agreement is dependent on the Franchise Agreement. Dryject would not enter into the Franchise Agreement without the franchisee agreeing to comply with all the terms and provisions of the Telephone Listing Agreement.
Upon termination of the Franchise Agreement, Dryject has the right to direct the franchisee to transfer all rights and interests in telephone numbers and directory listings to Dryject. To facilitate this transfer, the franchisee appoints Dryject as their attorney-in-fact, granting Dryject the power to take necessary actions and execute documents for the transfer of telephone numbers and listings. This appointment is considered irrevocable until the franchisee fulfills all obligations under both the Franchise Agreement and the Telephone Listing Agreement.
Even after the termination of the Franchise Agreement, the Telephone Listing Agreement remains in effect. This means that the obligations outlined in the Telephone Listing Agreement, such as transferring telephone numbers and listings, continue to bind the franchisee even after the franchise relationship ends. Dryject retains the power to direct telephone companies to transfer or terminate the franchisee's telephone numbers and listings, using a written statement as proof of the Franchise Agreement's termination. Once the transfer is complete, the franchisee's interest in and obligations under the telephone numbers and listings cease, although they remain liable for any outstanding payments to the telephone companies incurred before the transfer.
