businesses in the United States. InfoUSA also entered into an Interim Services
Agreement with Seller Parent whereby Seller Parent agreed to provide certain
transition services to Donnelley Marketing and infoUSA agreed that Donnelley
Marketing will provide certain transition services to Seller Parent. In
addition, Donnelley Marketing entered into an Amended and Restated Database
License Agreement with First Data Resources, Inc. whereby it granted First Data
Resources, Inc. a license to use its consumer information database, a Database
License Agreement with Hogan Information Services, Inc. whereby Hogan
