On December 9, 2010, Local Insight Media Holdings, Inc. (“LIMH”), the indirect parent of Local Insight Regatta Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), and Zipper Solutions LLC (“Zipper”) entered into an Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which John Sakys, the President of Zipper, will serve as the Interim Controller and Chief Accounting Officer of LIMH and its subsidiaries, including the Company, effective December 17, 2010.

Biographical Information

John Sakys, age 42, has served as President of Zipper, a provider of accounting consulting services, since February 2009. He has served as an accounting consultant to LIMH and its subsidiaries since December 2009. From May 2001 until January 2009, Mr. Sakys held various management positions with Isonics Corporation, including Chief Operating Officer (from February 2007 until January 2009), Interim Chief Executive Officer (from February 2007 until January 2008), Vice President, Chief Financial Officer (from September 2001 until February 2007) and Controller (from May 2001 until September 2001). Mr. Sakys received a BA degree in Business Economics with an emphasis in accounting from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He is a certified public accountant in Colorado.

The Agreement

Under the Agreement, Mr. Sakys will report to LIMH’s Interim Chief Financial Officer. He is required to devote substantially all his working time and efforts to the business and affairs of LIMH and its subsidiaries.

Unless earlier terminated, the term of the Agreement will expire on December 31, 2011. Either party may terminate the Agreement on 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party. LIMH has agreed to file a motion (the “Motion”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware seeking its approval of the Agreement. If the Motion is denied, the Agreement will immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect. In such event, Zipper will be entitled to payment for all services performed through the date of such termination.

Under the Agreement, LIMH will compensate Zipper at the rate of $135 per hour of services rendered. In addition, LIMH will pay Zipper an amount equal to $5,000 by December 24, 2010.
