PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL
Board of Directors
infoUSA Inc.
Gentlemen:
     I am writing this letter to inform the Board of Director that, for a period
ending on July 21, 2007 (the “Covered Period”), I will not directly or
indirectly acquire any additional securities of the infoUSA Inc. (the
“Company”), except that I may exercise stock options that have been granted to
me by the Company. This letter will not apply, however, if the Company
(a) announces that it has entered into an agreement with a third party that
contemplates a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of the assets or
business combination involving the Company, or (b) the Company announces that it
has entered into an agreement with a third party that contemplates a change of
control of the Company by tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise or the Board
of Directors has publicly recommended such a transaction.
     The Company and I acknowledge and agree that during the Covered Period, so
long as I am in compliance with my obligations under this letter, the Company
shall not take any action to modify, extend or amend the Company’s Preferred
Shares Rights Agreement with Norwest Bank N.A. Minnesota, (as amended, the
“Rights Agreement”) to directly or indirectly include me in the definition of
“Acquiring Person” as such term is used in the Rights Agreement or take any
action including amending the Rights Agreement or adopting any other rights
agreement, plan or other arrangement that has the direct or indirect effect of
including me within the purview of the Rights Agreement or such other rights
agreement, plan or arrangement.
Best regards,
/s/ VINOD GUPTA
Vinod Gupta
