Re: Employment and Option Agreement Amendment

Dear Marilyn:

This Letter Agreement confirms the understanding reached between you and Dex Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any successor thereto, the “Company”), regarding the terms of your continued employment with the Company. This Letter Agreement constitutes an amendment to that certain Employment Agreement by and between you and the Company originally entered into as of November 8, 2002 and as amended and restated as of July 15, 2004 (the “Employment Agreement”), and an amendment to all Option Agreements by and between you and the Company (the “Option Agreements”) including without limitation those certain Option Agreements dated as of November 8, 2002, September 9, 2003, and November 11, 2003, in each case as amended prior to the date hereof. Capitalized terms used in this Letter Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the Employment Agreement or Option Agreements, as applicable. This Letter Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and, for the avoidance of doubt, you and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Term of the Employment Agreement shall be extended through November 8, 2006, unless earlier terminated as provided herein.

1. Working Arrangements. Effective as of January 1, 2006, you will be available to work on such schedule as shall be reasonably agreed upon by you and the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay or reimburse you for reasonable relocation and home-sale expenses incurred in connection with your relocation from the Denver metropolitan area to Florida, up to a maximum of $250,000. In the event you are unable to sell your Colorado residence by the earlier of the Effective Time (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, R.H. Donnelley Corporation (“Donnelley”) and Forward Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Donnelley) (the “Merger Agreement”) or April 1, 2006, you shall receive a lump sum payment of $250,000 and release the Company from any further relocation responsibility (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any relocation or home-sale expenses described in the preceding sentence).

2. Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Employment Agreement, if your employment with the Company is terminated (x) by the Company without Cause, (y) by you for Good Reason or (z) by you for any other reason upon not less than 60 days written notice to the Company, then the Company shall (subject to your entering into a waiver and release of claims agreement in the Company’s customary form):

(a) Pay to you a lump sum cash amount equal to the product of (i) the sum of (A) your then-current Annual Base Salary (which shall not be less than $325,000) and (B) your then-current target annual bonus (which shall not be less than 75% of your Annual Base Salary) and (ii) 1.5;

(b) Pay to you a pro-rata portion of your target annual bonus for the year of termination based upon the number of days employed with the Company during the calendar year in which your termination of employment occurs;

(c) Provide that you will be eligible to continue to receive health and welfare benefits from the Company for three years following your termination of employment (for which you will pay full premium costs). Following the expiration of such three year period, you shall be eligible to elect to receive COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s applicable group health plan in accordance with the Company’s customary terms and procedures.

For the avoidance of doubt, you and the Company acknowledge and agree that the payments and benefits described in this Paragraph 2 shall be made in lieu of, and not in addition to, the payments and benefits described in Section 5 of the Employment Agreement.

3. Stock Options

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Option Agreement (but subject to Paragraph 3(b), below), all options evidenced by the Option Agreements (the “Options”) that have not vested prior to the date of your termination of employment (the “Termination Date”) shall, as of the Termination Date, become vested and exercisable with respect to all shares of the Company’s common stock covered thereby. Prior to the Termination Date, all Options shall continue to become vested and exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreements. Following the Termination Date, all Options shall expire on (i) the 15^th day of the third month following the date at which, or December 31 of the calendar year in which, the Option would otherwise have expired if the Option had not been extended pursuant to this Paragraph 3(a)(i); or (ii) the first anniversary of the Termination Date, if your termination of employment is due to death or disability.

(b) Notwithstanding Paragraph 3(a), above, or anything to the contrary in any Option Agreement, (i) all Options will become vested and exercisable with respect to all shares of the Company’s common stock covered thereby immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (ii) each Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a fully vested Donnelley option with an economic value that is substantially identical to the value of the Options immediately prior to the Effective Time and each such Option shall expire on the first to occur of (A) the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date thereof, (B) the first anniversary of your termination of employment due to death or disability, or (C) the 15^th day of the third month following the date at which, or December 31 of the calendar year in which, the Option would otherwise have expired if the Option had not been extended pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b)(ii)(C).

4. Assignment and Successors. As of the Effective Time, the Company shall assign, and Donnelley shall assume, all rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Employment Agreement and the Option Agreements. If Donnelley does not so assume this Agreement, the Employment Agreement and the Option Agreements, the Company shall provide you with the payments and benefits described in Paragraph 2 of this Letter Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Time.

5. Section 409A. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that, to the extent applicable, this Letter Agreement, the Employment Agreement and the Option Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Letter Agreement, the Employment Agreement or the Option Agreements to the contrary, in the event that any amounts payable to you could reasonably be expected to be immediately taxable to you under Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, you and the Company shall cooperate in good faith and shall take such reasonable actions as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that, to the extent provided by the Merger Agreement, the conversion of your Options pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Merger Agreement may be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to comply with Section 409A of the Code and to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Options.

6. 280G Excise Tax Gross-Up

(a) If it is determined by the nationally recognized United States public accounting firm used by the Company immediately prior to any Change of Control (or such other nationally recognized United States public accounting firm as may be agreed to in writing by you and the Company) (the “Auditors”) that any payment or benefit made or provided to you in connection with this Letter Agreement or otherwise (including without limitation any Option or other equity compensation award vesting) (collectively, a “Payment”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Parachute Tax”), then the Company shall pay to you, prior to the time the Parachute Tax is payable with respect to such Payment, an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after you pay all taxes (including any Parachute Tax) imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, you retain an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Parachute Tax imposed upon the Payment. The amount of any Gross-Up Payment shall be determined by the Auditors, subject to adjustment, as necessary, as a result of any Internal Revenue Service position. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Letter Agreement, the Auditors may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, provided that the Auditors’ determinations must be made with substantial authority (within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code). To the extent that the Company obtains a written opinion from the Auditors with respect to Parachute Tax issues, the Company shall direct the Auditors to extend such opinion to you (to the extent that such extension is permitted by the Auditors).

(b) The federal tax returns filed by you (and any filing made by a consolidated tax group which includes the Company) shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with the determination of the Auditors with respect to the Parachute Tax payable by you. You shall make proper payment of the amount of any Parachute Tax based on such determination, and at the request of the Company, provide to the Company true and correct copies (with any amendments) of your federal income tax return as filed with the Internal Revenue Service, and such other documents reasonably requested by the Company, evidencing such payment, provided that any information unrelated to the Parachute Tax may be deleted from the copies of the returns and documents delivered to the Company. If, after the Company’s payment to you of the Gross-Up Payment, the Auditors determine in good faith that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment should be reduced or increased, or a determination is made by the Internal Revenue Service that would make the prior Gross-Up Payment amount not accurate, then within ten (10) business days of such determination, you shall pay to the Company the

amount of any such reduction, or the Company shall pay to you the amount of any such increase; provided, however, that in no event shall you have any such refund obligation if it is determined by the Company that to do so would be a violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as it may be amended from time to time; and provided, further, that if you have prior thereto paid such amounts to the Internal Revenue Service, such refund shall be due only to the extent that a refund of such amount is received by you; and provided, further, that (i) the fees and expenses of the Auditors (and any other legal and accounting fees) incurred for services rendered, in connection with the Auditors’ determination of the Parachute Tax or any challenge by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority relating to such determination shall be paid by the Company and (ii) the Company shall indemnify and hold you harmless on an after-tax basis for any interest and penalties imposed upon you to the extent that such interest and penalties are related to the Auditors’ determination of the Parachute Tax or the Gross-Up Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, your rights under this Paragraph 6 shall survive the termination of your employment for any reason and the termination or expiration of this Letter Agreement for any reason.

7. Employment and Option Agreements. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that, except as provided by this Letter Agreement, the Employment Agreement and the Option Agreements shall remain in full force and effect.

8. Further Assurances. You and the Company agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the terms of this Letter Agreement.
