                            court;

                            Any publicity given by the organization to its

                            his name, address, and telephone number and such
                            other information as may be required to facilitate
                            the access of member to the services of the lawyer;
                            and any publicity disseminated by the organization
                            to non-members will not identify the lawyer;
                            The agreement will be terminated in the event of
                            any substantial violation of the foregoing
