Hypothetical Monthly Pension Benefit -

Service at freeze date (7/1/2014) : 27.5 years

Average Monthly Compensation: $4,000**

Monthly Annuity Benefit: $4,000 x 1.22% x 27.5 =

YP Proposed Plan Overview

– Commission Timing

The full commission for the canvass year is calculated each time an

commissionable event occurs

Days due is at the total customer level and includes all activity for

that customer (even if sold by other reps)

Any already earned payments are trued up based on the new total

commission amount

o Ex. If earn more commission for a later add-on sale and account

has already billed on any NISD for that cycle, you would earn

55% at the point of sale date for the add’l sale

Once a Days Due milestone is reached and paid, it can’t be taken

back if account later goes beyond 90 days past due. Any missed

milestones will be paid at any later points where the days due goes

under 90 days. The event status is checked daily.

Includes a transition plan of add’l fixed pay for year one and for new

hires. This transition pay offsets any negative cash flow impact to

the rep

Implementing a new commission system to help the reps manage

their accounts (see next page)

As earned for Premise, Key,

and New Media

As Earned plan better aligned with job responsibilities, and Transition Pay negates

any negative cash flow impact

At Point of Sale 40%

If < 90 Days Due:

YP Plan Overview – Rep Monthly Commission

Plan pays each month based on rep’s overall NISD / BOTS % per the

payment scale.

The payout percentage is applied to closed NISD to calculate the

amount to pay.

The plan is for the calendar year, and runs Feb-Jan.

The payment amount is trued up each month based on total YTD

results.

Eliminates the need for non-pay chargebacks

Other Information:

Target is for this element to represent 15%-20% of total target comp.

This plan element, along with Incentives, is considered a Flexible Plan

Element that can be modified over the course of the contract as long as

certain payout and timing conditions are met.

Rates are for illustrative

purposes - Note each

channel would have a

unique set of rates

New element uncaps earnings and improves correlation between a rep’s earnings

and results

YP Modeling Methodology Used

•Pull 2013 canvass level data at account level

•Determine full year reps based on assignment and time worked

•Use Dec-13 Average Earnings reports as baseline earnings

•Adjusted Avg Earnings for commission overpayments and any non-

recurring payments

•Not an exact match due to timing differences between canvass and

calendar year

•Run proposed plan through “AVCO” model to calculate earnings

•Present output on rep modeling Excel file

•Shows results and comparisons by reps

•Allows ‘what-if’ calculation on results changes

Bargaining 2014 Commission Plan

34

The monthly commission cycle shall begin on February 1st and end on

January 31st of the calendar year.

The monthly commission is paid based on results in the system as of the

last day of each month and shall be paid in the payroll period in which the

last day of the month falls.

The monthly commission includes all sales results posting for the year-to-

date regardless of cycle year, product, etc. Payout of Monthly Commissions

earned above the cap for remaining commissions will paid out at the end of

the annual cycle, following final true-up.

The payment amount is trued up each month based on total year-to-date

results.

If at the end of the plan year, a rep has been over paid, final true-up will

occur, and the amount to be debited or paid shall be determined. If a debit is

required, it will be recovered pursuant to normal processes, which may

include the debit protection provisions of this agreement.

Such true-up payments or debits will occur on the first MC pay date

following the beginning of the new plan year.

The purpose of the Monthly Commissions (“MC”) element of the Sales Compensation plan

is to focus selling behaviors on net revenue results by account. It is intended to be a

substantial component of sales representatives’ compensation going forward and YP is

confident that it will drive the intended sales performance.

However, given that it is a new compensation approach for our business and the results are

not guaranteed, YP agrees that it shall pay representatives at least pursuant to the MC and

cash sales incentives payout assurances detailed below. In exchange for providing the

following assurances, YP shall have the ability during the term of the contract to revise

elements of the MC (“NISD/BOTS” and/or “% of NISD Paid”) and any other cash

incentives, in order to ensure that the Company is achieving its sales goals.

It is expressly understood that the “NISD/BOTS” and “% of NISD Paid” elements of the

MC shall not be increased or decreased more than one time per 12 month period, per

channel,

and only at the start of a new commission plan year, unless the Company

determines that an “unscheduled” change is necessary to increase rates in

order to ensure that below average guarantees are met.

Further, it is agreed and understood that no changes to the MC/Incentive

plans shall be made during the term of this contract that are projected to

pay out less than 100% of the target average annual MC pay listed below

($23,000 for Key, $19,000 for Premise, and $6,000 for Telephone), by

channel and the targets shall not be changed during the life of this

agreement.

In the event that the Company determines that elements of the MC need to

be changed during the term of the contract, it shall notify the Union at least

15 days in advance of the implementation of such changes, in order to

explain the reasons for and impacts of such changes, and to allow the

Union an opportunity to discuss potential alternatives. Following such

discussions, the Company shall have the right to implement the announced

Billing Milestone Date (BMD)

The date any item that is part of the NISD for the current year canvass/cycle is considered ready to bill.

This is the earlier of the Internet Live Date or the Effective Bill Date. This date becomes the baseline

to calculate future milestone dates for that customer. This date will be locked and never move to a

later date as long as the item actually bills on that date (i.e., does not “wash”). This date could move

earlier if an early-up billing item was sold as subsequent activity. as year. The “total commission

Subsequent Activity Any sales activity after the initial account close that results in a change to BOTS

or NISD and therefore the Total Commission due. This transaction can be representative or system

generated.

Total Commission The “total commission” earned on an account at any point during the canvas year.

The “total commission will continue to recalculate based on subsequent activity.

All commissions are advanced in accordance with commission schedules defined in Section x.x,

except where they are “earned” under the “As Earned” provisions of this Agreement, upon attainment

of Billing Milestone Dates..

NOTE: As Earned (AEC) commissions are still subject to proration and normalization.

Payments of commissions for Key Account Representatives, Advertising Sales

Representatives, New Media Representatives, and Digital Sales Representatives will be a

combination of a.) 50% advanced biweekly and b.) 50% deferred, based on milestones.

Any subsequent activity on an account (including the determination of the actual start date)

that occurs after the payment of any Milestone will result in the entire total commissions being

recalculated.

Subsequent payments or commissions adjustments occur biweekly and as long as activity

occurs on the account, including, but not limited to errors, account associations, etc.

In the event the Company agrees to place next issue advertising for a customer who does not

meet normal requirements (i.e., a waiver is given to a customer who is more than 90 days past

due) the rep will be entitled to receive the next commission earned under the normal milestone

plan at the point next issue advertising starts billing).

Employees who are service pension eligible and retire from the business will be paid for all

milestones for accounts that are closed but have not yet reached such milestones.

Once an account reaches 540 days from the Billing Milestone Date, any unreleased

commissions are forfeited. Sales reps must be employed at the time a Milestone is reached in

order to earn and be paid any commission.

No such commissions shall be deemed earned, nor further BMDs shall be attained,

following a Sales rep’s final date of employment.

For a period of 100 days following an employee’s final date of employment, account activity

shall be processed for the purpose of chargebacks and payment of Bi-weekly commissions

and Monthly Commissions only. Following that period, no account activity shall be

processed.

In the event that a customer pays for an account 100% in advance, all bi-weekly

commissions shall be deemed “as earned” under this Article and the Company’s intent shall

be to pay out 100% of such commissions following the first BMD.

In the event a new customer pays an advance payment equal to 16% of the total contract

value sold the representative will receive the Milestone 2 commission at the same time as the

Milestone 1 commission.

Term contracts: For 3, 6, or 9 months, all commissions due on those agreements shall be paid

out in full, provided that all revenue has been collected by YP on such contract, and the

commission system has the capability to make such payments.

less than 16% two (2) months of the total original contract

FIND IT – KEEP IT GUIDELINES

Ms. Kathryn A. Brown

President/Business Manager

Union Local 2139

155 N,. Riverview Dr. Suite 106

Anaheim Hills, CA 92808

Dear Ms. Brown:

This confirms our understanding to allow Advertising Sales Representatives, Digital Sales Executives, Account Executives-New Media,

Directory Sales Representatives, Key Account Representatives the opportunity to sell advertising to businesses identified as “I Find It – I

Keep It” (IFIIKI) accounts consistent with this agreement. “I Find It – I keep It” accounts will be initially identified by the sales

representative. It will be the sales Representative’s responsibility to purify the listing including using “name search” and “telephone number

search” to ensure that it qualifies for this assignment.

These accounts must be loaded into and dispositioned in SalesForce.com.

The intent of this agreement is to encourage all sales employees to find customers, who otherwise would not come into our “computer

system” or customers that are not identified by the Company who would like to purchase any advertising program, offered by the company.

Eligible accounts are:

• Home Based Businesses

• 800#’s not in CSS

• Pagers not in CSS

• Cellular phones not in CSS

• Out of State customers, not in AT&T YP territories. (IYP cannot be sold)

• Other numbers that would not ever be in CSS

• Any number with a RCF that forwards to a business line will not qualify.

Bargaining 2014

Letters of Agreement-IFIIKI continued

In all cases the number that is identified as the “I Find It I Keep It” number must appear prominently in an in-column or a display-

advertising program in the book on the street. In all cases if the number does not appear prominently in the in-column or display-

advertising program in the book on the street, the account will be taken from the sales employee with applicable commission debited.

If the advertising program, as defined above, publishes and the customer does not change their telephone service or add a telephone

service to a business line prior to publication the sales account, including foreign, will remain with the “I Find It I Keep It” sales

representative.

Sales representatives with an “I Find It I Keep” sale will keep the customer as a new connect prospect type. The IFIIKI customer will

be placed into the sales representative’s current working canvass and the HBD will not be changed based on the customers “real”

location.

Any change to business service or add a telephone service (service order) prior to the sale of the product (customer signature on the

contract date) with the above stated rules will result in the “I Find I Keep It” sales representative losing the account. In these cases the

account will be associated, Miscellaneous Next-Up to another sales employee.

Once the purification process is completed and the “lead” is determined to be valid, the sales representative will then complete a

D1810 (Directory Office Memorandum). IFIIKI’s will be assigned to a sales representative once a contract signature is secured and

signed off by a manager. If the Company determines that a sales representative failed to properly purify the lead, commissions paid to

the representative will be debited and commissions paid to the appropriate sales representative, as defined above. The Company will

not pay dual commissions.

Dear Ms. Brown:

In an effort to improve the customer contact and overall integrity of existing and new business relationships with our

customers we are implementing the following Open Market and Recanvass guidelines. These guidelines must be followed

for all Advertisers, Non-Advertisers and New Connect contacts.

•When contacting a customer during the open market period, sales representatives are required to ask the customer if they

are working with any other YP Advertising Solutions representative. If the customer indicates that they are, the

representative should back out of the customer contact.

•Open Market selling periods do not give a sales representative the right to go into an account after someone else has

already made a presentation or set an appointment to make a presentation and current detailed notes are in the system. A

sales presentation shall be considered an actual sales call with the decision maker and not someone stopping by, phoning, or

mailing collateral materials or a business card.

Process: Once the qualified sales employee finds an account:

1.Begin discussions with the customer. Only after the sales employee has a signed contract from the customer on the

account can the employee have the account reassigned to them. Sales employee who secures the signature on the

contract first is the owner designated rep of record on of the account.

2.Have the manager sign the reassignment form to reassign the entire account, including multi, to the sales employee.

The sales employee will now have the opportunity to sell the customer any Company products, including, but not

Responsibility for Normalized BOTS

Ms. Kathryn A. Brown

President/Business Manager

155 N. Riverview Dr. 106

Anaheim Hills, CA 92808

Dear Ms. Brown:

YP and the Union agree that BOTS will roll-forward pursuant to company standard business rules. In

general, this means the amount of NISD recognized in the previous year canvass will become BOTS in the

current canvass if an IYP item comes down for any reason after PCP. This is regardless of whether the

account is currently billing. BOTS shall be assigned to the sales rep of record in the subsequent sales cycle

and such reps shall remain responsible for the revenue. In cases where the account is not currently billing,

the account may be appealed for a base revenue adjustment. Items early downed prior to PCP will have

normalized BOTS in the subsequent cycle.

In the event that the rep of record leaves the business, if any amount of billing has been collected on the

account, the BOTS shall be reassigned and the subsequent rep shall be responsible for the revenue in the

following sales cycle. If the account currently is not billing, YP shall have the right to send such accounts

for recovery by a third party, by management, by a sales channel outside of the region, or the Company may

attempt to recover the revenue through any other means.

Keith Halpern

Dear Ms. Brown:

This letter shall confirm the agreement between IBEW Local 2139 and YP regarding revised commission plans for accounts that include

the Union and YP have agreed to the following:

All SearchPro Accounts:

Up to $3,000 of monthly net revenue from a SearchPro product shall be counted toward a sales representative’s Monthly

Commissions (“MCs”) for any single account;

The account-level commission rate (bi-weekly) for SearchPro products shall be as follows:

$6,000 < $11,999 of monthly SearchPro revenue = 20% commission;

$12,000 < $18,999 of monthly SearchPro revenue = 24% commission;

$19,000 < $24,999 of monthly SearchPro revenue = 28% commission;

$25,000 ≤ of monthly SearchPro revenue = 32% commission;

For all Digital Express Accounts with revenue of $836 per month or more:

Up to $3,000 of monthly net revenue from a Digital Express product shall be counted toward a sales representative’s Monthly

Commissions (“MCs”) for any single account;

The account-level commission rate (bi-weekly) for Digital Express products with revenue of $836 monthly or more shall be as

follows: A 26% commission shall be applied to the Digital Express products of $836 or more per month.

It is therefore agreed and understood that the above commission adjustments shall be made following training of sales reps by YP, and

implementation of the changes in the commission system. YP shall notify the Union upon such implementation.

into this role, shall not apply to Transfer DSEs.
