Right, and we give them the right to use it for the agreed purpose etc.

But it's not used by ourselves and it's not used by company XYZ, but by 
a particular company we engaged with, validated and probably signed a 
contract and which uses it for the agreed purpose using some mechanism. 
The root CA still issued the intermediate CA to that company....

I believe Mozilla defines this as a managed/controlled CA which doesn't 
require disclosure of the CA as compared to an intermediate CA that 
controls the private key (some lose recollection from memory).
