                        AGREEMENT FOR PUBLISHING SERVICES

This Agreement for Publishing Services ("Agreement") is entered into as of April
27, 2000 by and between CENDON, LLC ("Publisher"), a Kansas limited liability
company, and R.H. DONNELLEY INC. ("RHD" and, together with Publisher,
collectively, the "Parties" and individually, a "Party"), a Delaware corporation
with principal offices at One Manhattanville Road, Purchase, New York 10577.

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which RHD
will provide certain publishing services to Publisher from and after July 1,
2000 until December 31, 2003;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual covenants and premises contained
herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1.       TERM

This Agreement shall become effective with respect to all directories identified
on Schedule 1 that publish on or after July 1, 2000 and shall remain in full
force and effect with respect to such directories that publish on or before
December 31, 2003 ("Termination Date"), subject to earlier termination in
accordance with Section 20 below.

2.       SCOPE OF WORK

The Parties agree that this Agreement applies to all print directories (whether
classified or white pages or co-bound) published during the term of this
Agreement that are identified on Schedule 1 and any other print directories
published during the term of this Agreement by Publisher in the locations
specified in Schedule 1 (the "Territory") that are identified by mutual
agreement of the parties by updates to Schedule 1. Attachment 1 shall be updated
quarterly to reflect additional directories and locations covered by this
Agreement and directories that will no longer be published. Sections 4 through
13 below describe the publishing services to be provided by RHD with respect to
classified directories (or such portions of co-bound directories) and Section 14
describes the publishing services to be provided by RHD with respect to white
pages directories (or such portions of co-bound directories). RHD shall provide
services hereunder in accordance with the performance standards established
annually as part of the KPI (key performance indicators) process. The Parties
further agree that the basis for this Agreement is the scope, specifications and
characteristics of the directories as they were published during 1999. If
Publisher desires to change the number of directories, their scope or features
and characteristics, such change will be communicated in accordance with the
Work Request Process described in, and the responsibility for the payment of any
additional costs associated with such change will be governed by, Section 18 of
this Agreement.

3.       RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

         The Parties acknowledge that, as of the date of this Agreement,
         Publisher does not provide its own sales, certain sales support,
         customer service or related functions in the Territory, but rather has
         delegated such functions to RHD as Sales agent under a separate
         agreement. At some point during the term hereof, Publisher may perform
         certain of these functions itself or through an affiliate or appoint
         another Sales agent. Accordingly, any rights or obligations allocated
         to Publisher hereunder shall represent only Publisher's rights and
         obligations (as may be delegated by Publisher in accordance with
         Section 23 hereof) and, notwithstanding RHD's role as Sales agent under
         such separate agreement with Publisher, in no way shall any
         responsibility for any such rights or obligations be attributable or
         allocable to RHD under this Agreement. Consequently, when appropriate
         in the context in which it is used herein, "Publisher" shall refer to
         Publisher's Sales agent or its own Sales function, as the case may be,
         all in accordance with existing processes and procedures.

                  ii.      Should service order data provided by Publisher
                           require modifications to the service order interface,
                           and, as a result, RHD is required to handle service
                           orders outside of the existing process, Publisher
                           shall reimburse RHD's additional costs, in accordance

13.      [RESERVED]

14.      WHITE PAGES

RHD will perform the following services for Publisher with respect to White
Pages directories (or such portions of co-bound directories):

         a.       Masthead. Publisher shall provide RHD with any revisions or
                  updates to the White Pages masthead by the service order close
                  date.
<PAGE>
         b.       Listings. RHD will obtain White Pages listings from local
                  telephone companies in camera-ready or electronic format. In
                  addition, RHD will request listings from Publisher's listing
                  database, which shall include listings for local CLECs, if
                  applicable. RHD will provide all such listings (in either
                  format) to RHD's White Pages vendor for processing.

         c.       Page Proofs. RHD's White Pages vendor will provide page proofs
                  to Publisher, the CLECs and RHD as close as possible to the
                  service order close date. Publisher and the CLECs shall
                  provide any revisions or updates to the page proofs to RHD per
                  an agreed upon schedule prior to delivery to the printer. RHD
                  will forward all changes to its White Pages vendor and proof
                  all such changes to ensure the changes are made accurately.
                  RHD will update the publishing database for any such changes
                  to ensure accurate listings.

         d.       Advertising. RHD will provide its White pages vendor with all
                  White Pages advertising and create an extract report against
                  the White Pages listings database to identify discrepancies
                  between the listings and any advertising. RHD will investigate
                  and resolve all such identified discrepancies and provide its
                  White Pages vendor with any required revisions or updates.

         e.       Customer Book Pages. As close as possible to the printing
                  date, RHD's White Pages vendor creates a final set of page
                  proofs, the Customer Book Pages, and forwards it to Publisher
                  and RHD. Modifications will be made only in extreme
                  circumstances at this stage due to the likelihood of delaying
                  the printing schedule. RHD will review the Customer Book Pages
                  and approve the pages to be sent to the printer of the
                  directory.

         f.       Work Request Process. In the event that Publisher would like
                  to change any of the foregoing services or procedures in any
                  way, such change shall be managed in accordance with the Work
                  Request Process described in Section 18.

15.      LATE ACTIVITY

The schedules negotiated between the Parties will include optimum selling time,
whereby the time period between the end of the sales process and the publication
of the directory is minimized. As a result, the ability of RHD to accept late
activity is significantly constrained. If late activity is requested by
Publisher, then Publisher shall reimburse RHD its additional costs reasonably
incurred because of late activity, in accordance with the Work Request Process.

16.      SCHEDULING AND FORECASTING

         a.       Initial Scheduling. Prior to June 1 of each year beginning in
         2000 with respect to 2001, Publisher and RHD will meet and agree upon
         any changes to dates in the directory schedule for publications
         published commencing January 1 of the following year.
<PAGE>
         Thereafter, the Parties shall meet to review and discuss any further
         changes suggested in the publishing schedules as needed. Publisher
         shall reimburse RHD its reasonable costs incurred as a result of
         scheduling changes, in accordance with the Work Request Process.

         b.       Changes in Products and Scheduling. Publisher shall promptly
         inform RHD of changes in sales canvass dates (especially extensions),
         directories published, their scope, units of advertising offered,
         specifications, and other such changes in products and scheduling.
         Publisher shall reimburse RHD for its reasonable costs incurred in
         connection with such changes in products and scheduling, in accordance
         with the Work Request Process.

         c.       Publisher Requirements Forecast. Each Party agrees to provide
         the other Party with all information in its possession or under its
         control reasonably requested or required for publishing directories in
         a timely manner. Further, Publisher will provide RHD with estimates of
         total copy and contract volumes on a weekly basis for the coming year
         by June 1 of the each preceding year (December 31, 1999 for 2000) for
         the following year's directories, or by another mutually agreed upon
         date.

17.      PRICING

         a.       Annual Fee. The fee paid by Publisher to RHD each year during
                  the first three years of this Agreement shall consist of a
                  lump sum base price ("Base Price"), which for July through
                  December of 2000 ("Second Half Base Price") shall be
                  *** (*** for classified directory publishing services
                  plus *** for White Pages directory publishing services), which
                  Base Price in each year shall be adjusted for (i) budgeted
                  volumes ("Budgeted Volumes") expected to be processed during
                  the year versus base line volumes included in the Base Price
                  and (ii) the CPI Factor described in paragraph b. below (as so
                  adjusted, the "Annual Fee"). For each such year (or portion of
                  the year for 2000), following the end of the year, there shall
                  be computed the aggregate price of the actual volumes
                  experienced for each metric (contracts, copysheets, etc.),
                  plus the appropriate variable price adjustment per metric
                  determined using the price band methodology as set forth on
                  Schedule 17(a), times 1 plus the CPI Factor described in
                  paragraph b. below (collectively, the "Actual Price"). Any
                  difference between the Actual Price and the Annual Fee shall
                  be added to, or subtracted from (as the case may be), the
                  Annual Fee for that year and billed or credited to Publisher
                  as part of the annual "true up" as set forth in Section 19.
                  Base line volumes, Base Price, Budgeted Volumes and variable
                  price bands per metric for 2000, as well as definitions of
                  price list metrics and examples of these computations, are
                  detailed in Schedule 17(a). Based upon Publisher's estimates
                  provided pursuant to Section 16 of this Agreement, by January
                  1 of each subsequent year during the term of this Agreement,
                  RHD will provide to Publisher an updated Schedule 17(a) which
                  will set forth updated Base Price and Budgeted Volumes and a
                  projection of an estimated Annual Fee for the ensuing year
                  (the estimated Annual Fee for 2000 is set forth in Schedule
                  17(a)).

                  The Base Price for 2001 shall be *** plus the CPI Factor
                  described in paragraph b. below. The Base Price for 2002 shall
                  be computed as (i) the Base Price for 2001 times (ii) 1 plus
                  the CPI Factor described in paragraph b. below. The Base Price
                  for 2003 shall be computed as (i) the Base Price for 2002
                  times (ii) 1 plus the CPI factor described in paragraph b.
                  below.

         b.       CPI Factor. The Base Price and the Annual Fee shall be
                  adjusted as provided in paragraph a. above using the following
                  CPI Factors for each year during the first three years of this
                  Agreement:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Base Price                          Total Annual Fee
----------                          ----------------
<S>                                 <C>
2000: as specified above            2000: ***
2001: ***                           2001: ***
2002: ***                           2002: ***
2003: ***                           2003: ***
</TABLE>

                  The CPI is the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in
                  the United States as published by the United States Bureau of
                  Labor Statistics ("BLS"), but for purposes of the above
                  calculation the CPI shall not exceed *** in any year (such
                  that the CPI adjustment factor for 2000 under Section 17 shall
                  be ***). If the CPI shall be discontinued to be published,
                  the Parties agree to use a comparable index.

         c.       Changes. The Annual Fee set forth in this Section 17 and on
                  Schedule 17(a) does not include any additional costs in
                  connection with changes implemented in connection with the
                  Work Request Process in accordance with Section 18. Such
                  additional costs shall be invoiced separately as described in
                  Section 19.

         d.       Claims Adjustments. As part of the year-end "true up" process,
                  the Actual Price payable under this Section 17 by Publisher
                  with respect to all directories reflected from time to time on
                  Schedule 1 will be reduced by *** of the aggregate annual
                  publishing claims for local advertising attributable to RHD
                  Production Errors (as defined below) with respect to such
                  directories; subject to the following limitations and
                  qualifications:

                  -        Excludes publishing claims related to 10-digit
                           dialing information

                  -        Publishing claims resulting from new products or
                           material product changes would need to be discussed
                           and mutually agreed upon before being included in
                           this adjustment process

                  -        Adjustment process will be renegotiated if Customer
                           Service responsibilities are transferred away from
                           RHD as Sales agent

                  -        Maximum adjustment is *** reduction of Actual
                           Price, excluding portion of Actual Price attributable
                           to White Pages

<PAGE>
                  As used herein, RHD Production Errors means all errors
                  committed by RHD which originated in the publishing process,
                  from order entry (only if performed by RHD at the publishing
                  facility) through final pagination. Graphics errors committed
                  by RHD which originated at the publishing facility shall also
                  be treated as RHD Production Errors. These errors would
                  include:

                  -        Order entry, keying errors from the contract or
                           service order (but excluding sales errors reflected
                           on the order or contract so long as keyed correctly
                           by RHD)

                  -        Graphics errors (see above) in color, art, copy, etc.

                  -        Pagination errors

                  -        Text or copy errors that originate as part of the
                           publishing process

                  -        Listings out of alphabetical order

                  Publisher, as part of its customer service responsibilities,
                  shall make the initial determination with respect to
                  classifying errors between sales errors and RHD Production
                  Errors. RHD shall have the right to dispute any classification
                  of an error as an RHD Production Error by written notice to
                  Publisher. Upon any such dispute, the Parties shall endeavor
                  to resolve such dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved
                  within thirty (30) days, then either Party shall be free to
                  submit such dispute to expedited arbitration under Section
                  25(a).

18.      WORK REQUEST PROCESS

Publisher may request to modify the scope, timing or other characteristic of any
obligation of RHD hereunder, to add obligations of RHD hereunder or to modify
any system, process or procedure used by RHD in performing its obligations
hereunder by submitting a written Work Request Form (in a format reasonably
acceptable to RHD) to RHD detailing the modification sought by Publisher. RHD
shall have *** days to respond in writing to Publisher ("Response") in the case
of ordinary course Work Request Forms and such longer period as reasonably
necessary to respond to more complex Work Request Forms. If RHD fails to respond
as required by the foregoing sentence, the requested modification will be made
without any increase in production time or costs to Publisher. In any response
submitted by RHD, it shall inform Publisher of the additional time, costs, and
other factors that reasonably are expected to result from the requested
modification. In determining such additional time, costs, and other factors, RHD
shall consider and include any offsetting efficiencies and cost savings that
reasonably are expected to result from all modifications contemporaneously
requested by Publisher. After Publisher receives the Response, Publisher shall
then have *** days (or such longer time specified in any Response) to advise RHD
in writing whether Publisher wishes RHD to implement such modification and that
Publisher agrees to incur (and reimburse as the case may be) the additional
time, costs and other factors identified by RHD in the Response. If Publisher
fails to so inform RHD within such time period, then RHD shall not be required
to implement the requested modification. The Parties may modify this Work
Request Process from time to time as the Parties mutually deem appropriate.

19.   INVOICES AND PAYMENT

Based upon Publisher's estimates provided pursuant to Section 16 of this
Agreement, by January 1 of each year during the term of this Agreement, RHD will
provide to Publisher an updated Schedule 17(a) which will set forth updated Base
Price and Budgeted Volumes (which shall be tied to the units of measure
specified in Schedule 17(a)) and a projection of an estimated Annual Fee payable
hereunder for the ensuing year (the estimated Annual Fee for July through
December 2000 is set forth in Schedule 17(a)). On the fifteenth of each month
during July through December of 2000, Publisher will pay to RHD one-sixth
(1/6th) of the estimated Annual Fee with respect to that period. On the
fifteenth of each month during 2001, 2002 and 2003, Publisher will pay to RHD
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated Annual Fee with respect to that year. If
such amount is not paid by the fifteenth of the month, then Publisher shall pay
RHD interest on the overdue amount at a rate equal to 1.0% per month for the
period such payment remains overdue. By March 1 of the following year, RHD will
issue a "true-up" report identifying the Actual Price incurred for that year (or
portion thereof in the case of 2000) computed in accordance with Section 17 and
submit a final invoice for reimbursement by (or credit to) Publisher which will
reflect any differences between the Actual Price and the estimated Annual Fee
identified by the "true up" report and any other items payable by (or subject to
credit to) Publisher.

Invoices for costs that are not included in the estimated Annual Fee to which
RHD is entitled to reimbursement or for which Publisher shall pay the vendor
directly (for example, invoices for printing costs, paper acquisition costs,
Spanish translations, new movers guides, additional costs under the Work Request
Process, etc.) shall be submitted to Publisher by either mail, facsimile, or
electronic transfer, as shall be mutually agreed by the Parties. Publisher shall
have the right to audit the "true-up" reports submitted to RHD to determine the
accuracy of the actual volumes (as compared to Budgeted Volumes), any expenses
not included in the Base Price for that particular calendar year, and RHD's
true-up calculations. RHD shall make available to Publisher or its designated
auditor all of RHD's books and records (e.g., customer contracts and management
reports generated by RHD's systems) that substantiate such volumes, expenses,
and calculations. Publisher shall complete its audit of RHD's "true-up"
calculations within thirty (30) days of receipt of those calculations, unless
RHD fails to make available to Publisher reasonably requested information. If,
after conducting the audit, Publisher disagrees with any portion of the true-up
invoice, Publisher immediately shall notify RHD of the disputed portion and the
parties shall endeavor to resolve the dispute. Publisher shall be required to
pay, or RHD shall be required to refund, the undisputed portion of the true-up
invoice. If the dispute cannot be resolved within fifteen (15) days of
Publisher's notification to RHD of the dispute, then each party shall be free to
submit the dispute for resolution by expedited arbitration in accordance with
the provisions of Section 25(a) of this Agreement. This "true-up" process under
this Section 19 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

20.      TERMINATION
<PAGE>
         a.       Extension. If Publisher wishes to extend the term of this
                  Agreement, it shall notify RHD of the proposed extension on or
                  before June 30, 2003. The parties thereafter shall use
                  commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the
                  terms of the proposed extension. If Publisher does not provide
                  RHD with such notice or the parties are unable to reach
                  agreement on the proposed extension by July 31, 2003, the
                  parties shall negotiate diligently and to agree upon a
                  reasonable transition plan and schedule consistent with the
                  terms governing the "Transition Plan" under subsection 20.c.
                  below and providing for an orderly transition of the services
                  performed under this Agreement to Publisher or its designated
                  vendors.

         b.       Material Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement
                  before the Termination Date in the event of a material breach
                  by the other Party. In order to terminate for material breach,
                  the non-breaching Party must give the breaching Party written
                  notice specifying in reasonable detail the breach and
                  requesting that the breach be cured (the "Cure Notice"). If
                  the breaching Party fails to cure the specified breach within
                  sixty (60) (thirty (30) days in the case of a payment default)
                  days of receipt of the Cure Notice, the other Party shall have
                  the right to terminate this Agreement, effective upon thirty
                  (30) days prior written notice to the breaching Party (the
                  "Terminating Notice"); provided, however that if such breach
                  (other than a payment default) cannot reasonably be cured
                  within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Cure Notice, the same
                  shall not constitute a failure to cure hereunder if the
                  breaching Party commences to cure the breach, uses its best
                  efforts to effect a cure, and effects such cure within ninety
                  (90) days of receipt of the Cure Notice. Notwithstanding the
                  above, the Party against whom termination is sought shall have
                  the right to invoke expedited arbitration pursuant to Section
                  25 and to require that the arbitrator determine that a
                  material breach has, in fact, occurred and that the Party
                  against whom termination is sought has been unable to effect
                  or has failed to use its best efforts to effect an adequate
                  cure.

         c.       For Convenience. RHD may terminate this Agreement, without
                  cause, upon written notice to Publisher, such termination to
                  become effective as provided below. Upon delivery of such
                  termination notice, the parties hereby agree to negotiate
                  diligently and to agree upon a reasonable transition plan and
                  schedule ("Transition") to ensure the completion of all
                  publishing and billing services provided by RHD hereunder
                  associated with directories covered by this Agreement at the
                  time of the delivery of the termination notice. The parties
                  hereby agree that the effective date of termination of this
                  Agreement shall be upon completion of this Transition;
                  provided, however, that RHD shall not be required to perform
                  any obligations hereunder after the expiration of 14 months
                  following the date of the termination notice. During the
                  Transition, this Agreement shall remain in full force and
                  effect with respect to those directories for which RHD has not
                  yet completed the services covered by the Transition.

         d.       Turn Over. Upon termination of this Agreement, RHD will turn
                  over to Publisher all Work Product (as defined herein) and any
                  other printed or electronic material
<PAGE>
                  reasonably requested by Publisher as required to transition
                  publishing services to another provider. This turn over will
                  be in a manner mutually satisfactory to the Parties and will
                  occur according to the transition plan agreed to by the
                  Parties. In connection with such turn-over, RHD will assign
                  any copyright or other rights in the turned over materials to
                  Publisher as appropriate and as agreed in the transition plan
                  and in accordance with Section 31. Unless RHD shall terminate
                  this Agreement under paragraph (c) above, RHD's reasonable
                  expenses in turnover as determined by mutual agreement of RHD
                  and Publisher will be born by Publisher, according to the
                  transition plan agreed to by the Parties.

21.      WARRANTY

RHD warrants that (a) its services will conform to the specifications, drawings,
instructions, and standards mutually agreed to by the parties in accordance with
the key performance indicators established jointly by the Parties from
time-to-time, the present KPIs being identified in Schedule 21 attached hereto,
and (b) that RHD will perform the services required hereby in a workmanlike
manner consistent with industry standards.

RHD DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

22.      NEW DEVELOPMENTS

RHD agrees to use reasonable efforts to keep abreast of major developments in
the compilation, composition, graphic arts, and data processing industries
(e.g., new methods, processes, equipment, etc.) and to advise Publisher of any
which might affect the production of end products. RHD agrees to examine
reasonable Publisher ideas to increase efficiency and improve processes in
accordance with the Work Request Process.

23.      ASSIGNMENT

         a.       Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights
                  hereunder nor delegate any of its obligations hereunder
                  (collectively, "assignment") without the prior written consent
                  of the other Party, which consent shall not unreasonably be
                  withheld or delayed. A condition to the effectiveness of any
                  such assignment shall be the prior delivery by the assignor to
                  the other Party of a written confirmation by the assignee of
                  its assumption of the assignor's obligations under the
                  Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may
                  assign any or all of its rights and/or obligations under this
                  Agreement to an Affiliate (as defined
<PAGE>
                  below) of that Party without the consent of the other Party.
                  In addition, as described in Section 3, Publisher's exercise
                  of certain of its rights and performance of certain its
                  obligations hereunder through a Sales or other agent in
                  accordance with existing processes and procedures shall not be
                  deemed an "assignment" under this Section 23(a) and shall not
                  require the prior consent of RHD; provided, however, that any
                  change from the existing processes and procedures would
                  require RHD's consent in accordance with the Work Request
                  Process.

         b.       Publisher agrees that it shall not withhold or delay its
                  consent to any proposed assignment by RHD of this Agreement if
                  (a) the assignee is not a Competitor (as defined below) of
                  Publisher, (b) in the event that the assignee provides print
                  directory publishing or related services to a Competitor of
                  Publisher, that the assignee agrees to (i) maintain the
                  acquired RHD business as a separate unit or line of business
                  or (ii) implement such other screening techniques (such as
                  "Chinese" walls) reasonably acceptable to Publisher to ensure
                  that all competitively sensitive information concerning
                  Publisher is kept confidential and not shared with others in
                  the assignee's organization who have responsibility for such
                  Competitor's business , and (c) in the event that Publisher
                  has reasonable grounds to question the assignee's ability to
                  perform its obligations under this Agreement, then Publisher
                  may require, as a condition to its consent to the proposed
                  assignment, that the assignee or R.H. Donnelley Corporation
                  (or the then-existing parent Company of RHD) provide Publisher
                  with reasonable security or assurance with respect to such
                  assignee's performance obligations under the Agreement. In the
                  event of a proposed assignment by RHD to a Competitor,
                  Publisher may withhold its consent to such assignment and RHD
                  may either (i) choose not to proceed with such assignment or
                  (ii) give Publisher a "Sale Notice" (as defined below) and
                  treat such proposed assignment under the provisions of
                  paragraph (d) below.

         c.       In the event of a proposed assignment by Publisher, if RHD has
                  reasonable grounds to question the assignee's ability to
                  perform its obligations under this Agreement, then RHD may
                  require, as a condition to its consent to the proposed
                  assignment, that the assignee or Sprint Corporation (or the
                  then-existing ultimate parent Company of Publisher) provide
                  RHD with reasonable security or assurance with respect to such
                  assignee's performance obligations under this Agreement.

         d.       Notwithstanding the foregoing, any proposed assignment of this
                  Agreement by RHD in connection with the sale to a
                  non-affiliate of its entire (or substantially all assets
                  comprising its) print directory publishing business ("Sale")
                  will not require the prior written consent of Publisher. RHD
                  shall give written notice ("Sale Notice") to Publisher of such
                  Sale as soon as practicable, but in no event later than
                  promptly following consummation of such Sale. Within 30 days
                  following the date of the Sale Notice (but in no event prior
                  to consummation of the Sale), either RHD (on its own account
                  or on behalf of the purchaser) or Publisher may give written
                  notice of termination ("Sale Termination Notice") of this
                  Agreement to become
<PAGE>
                  effective as set forth below. Upon delivery of a Sale
                  Termination Notice, the parties hereby agree to negotiate
                  diligently and to agree upon a reasonable transition plan and
                  schedule ("Sale Transition") to ensure the completion of all
                  publishing and billing services provided by RHD hereunder
                  associated with directories covered by this Agreement at the
                  time of the delivery of the Sale Notice. The parties hereby
                  agree that the effective date of termination of this Agreement
                  shall be upon completion of this Sale Transition; provided,
                  however, that RHD shall not be required to perform any
                  obligations hereunder after the expiration of 14 months
                  following the date of the Sale Termination Notice. During the
                  Transition, this Agreement shall remain in full force and
                  effect with respect to those directories for which RHD has not
                  yet completed the services covered by the Sale Transition. In
                  the event of delivery of a Sale Termination Notice,
                  notwithstanding the consummation of a Sale, this Agreement
                  shall not be assigned by RHD to the purchaser and RHD shall
                  remain responsible to Publisher for the performance of its
                  obligations during the Sale Transition; provided, however,
                  that Publisher hereby consents to the delegation by RHD to the
                  purchaser of any and all duties and obligations of RHD
                  hereunder and to the assignment by RHD to purchaser of any and
                  all rights to payment from Publisher hereunder.

         e.       As used in this Section 23, the following terms have the
                  following meanings:

                  (i)      "Affiliate" means, in the case of (a) Publisher, any
                  legal entity in which Sprint Corporation, or its successor, or
                  a wholly-owned subsidiary thereof, owns more than 50% of the
                  common or voting stock of the entity; and (b) RHD, any legal
                  entity in which R.H. Donnelley Corporation, or its successor,
                  or any wholly-owned subsidiary thereof, owns more than 50% of
                  the common or voting stock of the entity.

                  (ii)     "Competitor" means any entity, other than RHD or its
                  Affiliates, substantially engaged in the publication of either
                  print yellow pages or other related directory services that
                  directly and substantially competes with Publisher. Without
                  limiting the generality of the foregoing, any person or entity
                  that directly or indirectly publishes a classified telephone
                  directory that is distributed within 10% or more of the
                  primary distribution area of any of the directories for which
                  RHD provides services hereunder shall be deemed a Competitor.

24.      [RESERVED]

25.      DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         a.       Expedited Arbitration. Any dispute arising under or related to
                  this Agreement that, (i) by the terms hereof, must be resolved
                  by arbitration, or (ii) the Parties, in each of their sole and
                  absolute discretion, elect to submit to arbitration, shall be
                  governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
                  Arbitration Association (the "Arbitration Rules"). Any such
                  arbitration shall be conducted in
<PAGE>
                  accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in
                  Paragraphs E-1 through E-10 of the Arbitration Rules. The
                  decision of, and any award made by, the arbitrator shall be
                  final and binding on the Parties and may be entered as a
                  judgment in any court having competent jurisdiction over the
                  Parties.

         b.       Litigation. For all other disputes arising under or related to
                  this Agreement, each Party shall have the right to bring an
                  action in any court having competent jurisdiction over the
                  Parties and the subject matter in dispute, subject to the
                  dispute resolution covenants set forth in this Section 25(b).
                  If one or more disputes subject to arbitration under Section
                  25(a) require the resolution of issues of fact or law common
                  with, or related to, issues raised in a dispute governed by
                  this Section 25(b), then all such disputes shall be resolved
                  in accordance with this Section 25(b), and the arbitration
                  requirements of Section 25(a) shall not apply to them. The
                  following dispute resolution covenants shall govern all
                  actions subject to this Section 25(b):

                  1.       Governing Law. This agreement and the rights and
                           obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be
                           governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, without
                           regard to its conflict of laws principles.

                  2.       Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party waives its right to
                           a jury trial in any court action among the Parties
                           arising under or related to this Agreement, whether
                           made by claim, counter-claim, third party claim, or
                           otherwise. If for any reason this jury waiver is held
                           to be unenforceable, the Parties agree to binding
                           arbitration for any dispute arising under or related
                           to this Agreement, pursuant to the Arbitration Rules,
                           except that the expedited procedures referred to in
                           Section 25(a) shall not apply. The Parties' agreement
                           to arbitrate any dispute under this provision shall
                           extend to any claim by or against any third party
                           that could have been brought in a court action
                           between the Parties, whether as a claim,
                           counterclaim, or third-party claim, subject to the
                           agreement of such third Parties. The agreement of
                           each Party to waive its right to a jury trial will be
                           binding on its successors and assigns and will
                           survive the termination of this Agreement.

                  3.       Attorney's Fees. The prevailing Party in any dispute
                           adjudicated by lawsuit or arbitration will be
                           entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs,
                           including reasonable expert fees and costs. This
                           provision will not apply if the prevailing Party
                           rejected a written settlement offer that exceeds the
                           prevailing Party's recovery.

26.      INFORMATION ACCESS AND AUDIT RIGHTS

         a.       Access to Information. Subject to the confidentiality and
                  nondisclosure provisions contained in this Agreement, each
                  Party hereby agrees to provide to the other Party such
                  information within its possession or under its control related
                  to
<PAGE>
                  the performance of this Agreement. Without limiting the
                  generality of the foregoing, such information shall include
                  all information relating to Work Product and any derivatives
                  thereto. Such information shall be provided promptly upon
                  request in the format as is reasonably requested.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, RHD shall not be required to
                  provide Publisher with access to (i) RHD's employment files,
                  (ii) RHD's data on its internal production costs, or (iii)
                  RHD's internal budgets and financial projections.

         b.       Audit Provisions. Each party (the "auditing party") shall have
                  the right, upon written notice, to audit all records and data
                  within the possession or under the control of the other party
                  related to the other party's performance under this Agreement.
                  Any such audit shall be conducted during normal business
                  hours, subject to the other party's reasonable security
                  measures, and at the auditing party's expense. The auditing
                  party may, at its expense, engage independent auditors to
                  audit and certify, such records and data, provided such
                  independent auditor shall be what is commonly known as a "Big
                  Five Accounting Firm" or its equivalent. Each party agrees to
                  pay the other party any amount determined by the audit to be
                  owed to the other party within forty-five (45) days following
                  notification of the auditor's determination, unless one or
                  both parties elect to dispute the independent's auditor's
                  determination, in which case the dispute shall be submitted to
                  arbitration for resolution in accordance with the expedited
                  arbitration procedures outlined in Section 25(a) of this
                  Agreement.

27.      FORCE MAJEURE

         a.       Except as provided below, if any Party is prevented from
                  performing any of its obligations (other than payment
                  obligations) under this Agreement because of any act of God,
                  lockout, strike or other labor dispute, riot or civil
                  commotion, act of public enemy, law, order or act of
                  government, whether federal, state or local, or other similar
                  event beyond the Party's control (a "Force Majeure Event"),
                  then that Party will be excused from performing any of its
                  obligations which are so prevented. However, the Party so
                  excused is responsible for performing those obligations of
                  which it had been relieved due to the Force Majeure Event as
                  soon as the Force Majeure Event has ceased to prevent the
                  Party's performance. During the pendency of the Force Majeure
                  Event, the other party shall also be excused from performing
                  its obligations hereunder, including any payment obligations
                  that relate to the work not performed because of the Force
                  Majeure Event.

         b.       If a Force Majeure Event excuses RHD from performing its
                  duties under this Agreement, Publisher may procure substitute
                  performance for the duration of the Force Majeure Event;
                  however, as soon as commercially practicable upon RHD's
                  providing notice that the Force Majeure Event has ceased to
                  prevent its performance both parties shall be entitled and
                  obligated to resume performance of their respective
                  obligations under this Agreement.

28.      INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

RHD agrees to defend, at RHD's expense, and hold Publisher (and its Indemnified
Persons (as defined below)) harmless from and against all suits against
Publisher for infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or
any other proprietary right, by any third party relating to services provided by
RHD under this Agreement, except to the extent any claim of infringement arises
from RHD's adherence to copy, contracts, specifications, drawings or similar
materials submitted or approved by Publisher (or Publisher's agents), provided
RHD has properly performed technical specification reviews of such materials
according to Publisher's standards as set forth in Section 7 above. Publisher
agrees to defend, at Publisher's expense, and hold RHD (and its Indemnified
Persons) harmless from and against all suits against RHD for infringement of any
patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or any other proprietary right, by
any third party arising from Publisher's acts or omissions and/or from RHD's
adherence to copy, contracts, specifications, drawings or other materials
submitted or approved by Publisher (or its agents). Each Party agrees to give
the other prompt written notice of claims of infringement for which the other
may be responsible under this Agreement and full opportunity and authority to
assume the sole defense including appeals, and, upon such other's request, and
at its expense, to furnish reasonable information and assistance available to it
for such defense.

29.      MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION.

Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party and the other
party's officers, agents, employees and Affiliates from and against any and all
Eligible Claims (as defined herein) and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in
the defense of Eligible Claims. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party and
the other party's officers, agents, employees and Affiliates from and against
all Eligible Claims, arising from injury to their respective agents and
employees incurred while working on the premises of the other party, provided
such injury is not the result of the other party's negligence or deliberate
acts. Each party shall promptly notify the other of any claims made upon it for
which the other may be liable under this Section 29, and both parties shall
cooperate in the handling of any and all such Eligible Claims. As used herein,
"Eligible Claims" means any claims and causes of action of third parties (a)
arising from the other party's negligence, failure to perform in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement or any breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant made hereunder, that, when considered together with all other claims
and causes of action of third parties arising from, or relating to, the same
acts, facts, or circumstances, exceed $50,000 in claimed or incurred losses,
damages and costs, provided, however, that with respect to claims, actions,
losses, damages and costs that are required to be covered by insurance pursuant
to Section 36 hereof, the $50,000 limitation set forth above shall not apply, or
(b) that in whole or in part are predicated upon the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of a party, regardless of the amount of claimed or incurred losses,
damages, or costs.

30.      LICENSES
<PAGE>
Subject to Section 31 below, no licenses, express or implied, under any patents,
trademarks or copyright, are granted by either Party hereunder.

31.      OWNERSHIP AND USE OF INFORMATION

RHD acknowledges and agrees that all of the Work Product (as defined below) is
provided under this Agreement to Publisher on a works made for hire basis. RHD
hereby assigns to Publisher all of its rights, title, and interest in and to the
Work Product, including any copyrights therein and the right to sue and recover
for any infringement thereof. It is understood that RHD makes no representation
or warranty of any kind that the Work Product provided to Publisher is subject
to copyright. Some or all of the Work Product may be subject to copyright and to
the extent that such copyright exists and belongs to RHD then this provision
shall be applicable. RHD further agrees to take such actions and to execute such
instruments as may be reasonably requested by Publisher from time-to-time to
ensure that the ownership of the Work Product, including without limitation the
ownership of any copyrights that may exist therein, vests in Publisher.

As used herein, the term "Work Product" shall mean and include all: (i)
compilations of information, (ii) collective works (including without limitation
the directories), (iii) advertising copy, (iv) display advertising, (v)
classified headings, (vi) reports, (vii) surveys, (viii) studies (ix) service

information provided by Publisher to RHD that is owned exclusively by Publisher,
(xxi) any and all such work product developed or owned by the Partnership prior
to the date hereof and any derivative works thereof, and (xxii) modifications
made by Publisher or RHD to any of the foregoing and all other materials
developed by RHD on behalf of Publisher, as work performed directly for or
required in connection with the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement. Work Product shall not include that portion of materials prepared by
RHD solely in connection with its internal reporting on the management of its
affairs or that relates solely to other RHD businesses or customers but in no
event shall it refer to any software or related technology owned or licensed
from any third party by RHD used directly or indirectly by RHD in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement. To the extent that such
materials are confidential and have been identified in writing as such by
Publisher, RHD shall keep such materials confidential in accordance with Section
32. All RHD specifications, drawings, sketches, models, samples, listings,
master information, and products or data, written,
<PAGE>
oral or otherwise, including any software and software documentation furnished
by RHD to Publisher hereunder, or in contemplation hereof, shall be considered
by Publisher to be confidential and proprietary information of RHD, and
Publisher agrees to protect such information in accordance with Section 32.

32.      CONFIDENTIALITY

The Parties agree to keep and cause their employees to keep the existence of
this Agreement and the nature of the Parties' obligations hereunder strictly
confidential and not to disclose any information with respect hereto to any
third party or entity, except as may be necessary and required in conducting the
business of either of the Parties or as required by law.

In connection with the work performed under this Agreement, each Party may
provide the other with certain confidential or proprietary information
("Confidential Information"), the disclosure of which would seriously and
irreparably harm the providing Party. Accordingly, each Party agrees:

         a.       To use Confidential Information only for the purpose of this
                  Agreement;

         b.       To treat Confidential Information with the same degree of care
                  as it gives its own confidential information;

         c.       To limit access to Confidential Information only to those
                  employees having a need to know under this Agreement; and

         d.       To return the other Party, or at the furnishing Party's
                  direction, destroy, the other Party's Confidential
                  Information, and all copies thereof, in its possession or
                  under its control upon termination of this Agreement or at
                  such earlier time as the Party furnishing the Confidential
                  Information may request, provided however that such
                  Confidential Information is no longer needed for the
                  fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations, in which case
                  the Confidential Information shall be held solely and
                  exclusively for such purposes (which shall be communicated in
                  writing to the Party that furnished the Confidential
                  Information) and then relinquished or destroyed as soon as
                  such identified purposes cease. In the event the destruction
                  of Confidential Information is made, the Party responsible for
                  the destruction will furnish to the other Party an affidavit
                  that the Confidential Information has been destroyed.

Each Party agrees that, in addition to its remedies available at law, the party
providing Confidential Information shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief
against the other party to prevent an actual or threatened disclosure of
Confidential Information in breach of its obligations under this Section 32. The
Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that all information provided by the other
Party or obtained with respect to the other Party in connection with its
performance of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information, except
that the following information shall not be deemed either Publisher's or RHD's
Confidential Information: (a) information that can be shown to have been in the
public domain at the time of the disclosure, or (b) information in the
recipient's possession at the time of disclosure to the recipient (as shown in
the recipient's files
<PAGE>
and records prior to the time of disclosure), or (c) information independently
developed by the recipient's employees or agents that had no access to the
Confidential Information received hereunder, or (d) information which, though
originally confidential information, subsequently becomes part of the public
knowledge or literature (though not as a result of any inappropriate action or
inaction on the part of the recipient, its employees or agents), or (e)
information which is specifically approved for release by written authorization
of an officer of the Party having a proprietary interest in the information, or
(f) information readily known or ascertainable by anyone engaged in the print
classified directory industry, or (g) information disclosed pursuant to an order
of a court having competent jurisdiction; however, recipient will use reasonable
efforts to assist the other Party in obtaining a protective order or other
appropriate relief or remedy.

33.      TAX

Federal Manufacturer's and Retailer's Excise, State or Municipal Sales and Use
Taxes, when applicable, shall be billed to Publisher as separate items.

34.      EMPLOYMENT STATUS

RHD and Publisher are independent contracting parties and nothing in this
Agreement will make either Party the partner, joint venturer, agent or legal
representative of other for any purpose whatsoever, nor does it grant either
Party any authority to assume or to create any obligation on behalf of or in the
name of the other. In addition, Publisher will not withhold employment taxes or
similar assessments from the compensation owed RHD under this Agreement.

35.      NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this Agreement is
intended for the benefit of, or to create any rights in favor of, any other
party. The Parties hereby expressly disclaim any intent to create third-party
beneficiary rights under this Agreement.

36.      INSURANCE.

         a.       Insurance on Work-in-Process. The Parties acknowledge that, in
                  providing services under this Agreement each Party will have
                  in its possession and control materials and data critical to
                  the publication of the directories. Each Party agrees to take
                  reasonable measures to protect such materials and data from
                  loss or destruction due to theft, casualty or otherwise,
                  including without limitation the maintenance of back-up copies
                  thereof as much as practicable. In the event such materials or
                  data are lost or destroyed, each Party shall be obligated at
                  its expense to replace or reconstruct such materials and data
                  on an expedited basis, it being understood that time is of the
                  essence in publishing and distributing the directories. Each
                  Party shall maintain adequate business interruption insurance
                  coverage (subject to such deductibles as it shall in its sole
                  discretion deem appropriate) to cover any loss for which it is
                  responsible hereunder.

         b.       General Liability Insurance. RHD and Publisher each shall be
                  obligated to carry general liability insurance coverage with
                  coverage limits of not less than three million dollars
                  ($3,000,000.00) per occurrence, containing appropriate
                  contractual liability endorsements, which may be subject to
                  such deductibles as each Party shall in its sole discretion
                  deem appropriate.

         c.       Workers Compensation Insurance. RHD, as an independent
                  contractor to Publisher, agrees to maintain and pay for
                  workers compensation insurance coverage applicable to RHD's
                  employees in accordance with the requirements of applicable
                  law.

37.      NON-WAIVER

other Party of any provision of this Agreement will in no way affect the right
to require such strict performance at any time thereafter nor will the waiver by
either Party of a breach of any provision constitute a waiver of any succeeding
breach of the same or any other provision.

      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT effective as of May 1, 2002 (the "Effective Date") by
and between R.H. Donnelley Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"),
and David C. Swanson (the "EXECUTIVE").

      WHEREAS, Executive is presently serving as President and Chief Operating
Officer of the Company pursuant to an Employment Agreement dated September 28,
1998 ("Prior Agreement");

      WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has appointed Executive as
Chief Executive Officer effective immediately following the 2002 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders;

      WHEREAS, Executive desires to continue his employment with the Company
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this agreement (this
"AGREEMENT");

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the validity and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

      1. Term of Employment. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Agreement, Executive shall be employed by the Company for a period (the
"EMPLOYMENT TERM") commencing on the date hereof (the "COMMENCEMENT DATE") and
ending on April 30, 2003. On May 1, 2003 and each succeeding anniversary
thereof, the Employment Term shall automatically be extended for one additional
year unless, not later than ninety days prior to such anniversary, the Company
or the Executive shall have given notice of its or his intention not to extend
the Employment Term. Any such non-renewal of this Agreement by the Company shall
be treated as a termination of Executive's employment without Cause, as
hereinafter defined. This Agreement shall replace and supercede the Prior
Agreement, which shall be of no further force or effect after the date hereof.

      2. Position. (a) Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. In such position, Executive shall have such duties and authority
commensurate with such position and, to the extent not inconsistent with the
foregoing, as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "BOARD"). Executive shall be employed as the senior most
officer of the Company and shall report directly to the Board.

      (b) During the Employment Term, Executive will devote substantially all of
his business time and best efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder
and will not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for
compensation or otherwise which would conflict with the rendition of such
services either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the
Board; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude Executive from
serving
<PAGE>
on business, civic or charitable boards or committees, as long as such
activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive's
duties hereunder.

      3. Base Salary. Company shall pay Executive an annual base salary (the
"BASE SALARY") at the initial annual rate of $475,000 payable in equal
bi-monthly installments or otherwise in accordance with the payroll and
personnel practices of the Company in effect from time to time. Base Salary
shall be reviewed annually by the Board or a committee thereof to which the
Board may from time to time have delegated such authority (the "COMMITTEE") for
possible increase (but not decrease) in the sole discretion of the Board or the
Committee, as the case may be.

      4. Bonus. With respect to each fiscal year all or part of which is
contained in the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in
the Company's Annual Incentive Program under the 2001 Stock Award and Incentive
Plan or any successor program or plan thereto or thereunder, with a target bonus
opportunity of 70% of Base Salary and a maximum bonus opportunity not less than
that for which he is eligible on the Effective Date (the "BONUS").

      5. Additional Compensation. As further compensation, Executive will be
eligible for participation in all other bonuses, long-term incentive
compensation and stock options and other equity participation arrangements made
available generally to senior executives of the Company, on terms and conditions
no less favorable than those offered to other senior executives of the Company,
and at no less attractive a level in the aggregate as that for which he is
eligible on the Effective Date.

      6. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be
eligible for employee benefits (including perquisites, fringe benefits,
vacation, pension and profit sharing plan participation and life, health,
accident and disability insurance) made available generally to senior executives
of the Company, on terms and conditions no less favorable than those offered to
other senior executives of the Company, and at no less attractive a level in the
aggregate as that for which he is eligible on the Effective Date.

      7.   Business Expenses.  Reasonable travel, entertainment and other
business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of his duties
hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Company in accordance with Company
policies in effect from time to time.

      8. Termination of Employment. Each of Executive and the Company may
terminate the employment of Executive hereunder at any time in accordance with
this Section 8. Executive's entitlements hereunder in the event of any such
termination shall be as set forth in this Section 8. The provisions of this
Section 8 (and any related provision of Section 10) shall survive any
non-renewal of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 1. With respect
to any termination of employment (voluntary or otherwise), any and all (i)
accrued but unused vacation and (ii) earned but unpaid bonus (with respect to
any full performance period) will be paid at the same time as other payments
provided for herein.

                                       2
<PAGE>
      (a) For Cause by the Company. If Executive's employment is terminated by
the Company for Cause, he shall be entitled to receive his Base Salary through
the Date of Termination, as hereinafter defined. All other benefits due
Executive following Executive's termination of employment pursuant to this
Section 8(a) shall be determined in accordance with the then-existing plans,
policies and practices of the Company.

      (b) Death or Disability. Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate
upon his death and may be terminated by the Company upon his Disability during
the Employment Term. Upon termination of Executive's employment hereunder upon
the Executive's Disability or death, Executive or his estate (as the case may
be) shall be entitled to receive Base Salary through the Date of Termination,
plus a pro-rata portion of target Bonus, based on the number of whole or partial
months from the beginning of the bonus period to the Date of Termination. In
addition, if Executive's employment is terminated as a result of Disability,
Executive shall continue to be eligible to participate in all health, medical
and dental benefit plans of the Company, until age 65 in accordance with the
terms, conditions and elections, if any, applicable to or in effect with respect
to Executive at the Date of Termination.

      (c) Termination Not Following a Change in Control. If, during the
Employment Term and prior to a Change in Control or more than two years after a
Change in Control, Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without
Cause, or by Executive under subclauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of
Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to the following:

            (i) Base Salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in
      effect at the time of Notice of Termination, as defined in Section 8(g)
      herein, is given, or if higher, at the rate in effect immediately prior to
      the event or circumstance leading to the termination of employment, plus a
      pro rata (number of days employed during calendar year divided by 360)
      portion of target Bonus, plus all other amounts to which Executive is
      entitled under any then-existing compensation or benefit plan of the
      Company.

            (ii) In lieu of any further salary payments to Executive for periods
      subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay as severance
      pay, not later than the fifth business day following the Date of
      Termination, a severance payment (the "SEVERANCE PAYMENT") equal to two
      times the sum of (A) Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date Notice
      of Termination is given, or if higher, at the rate in effect immediately
      prior to the event or circumstance leading to the termination of
      employment, plus (B) target Bonus at the rate in effect on the date of the
      Notice of Termination is given, or if higher, at the rate in effect
      immediately prior to the event or circumstance leading to the termination
      of employment without Cause, paid in lump sum without reduction for time
      value of money.

            (iii) Continued eligibility to participate in all health, medical
      and dental benefit plans of the Company for which Executive was eligible
      immediately prior to the time of the Notice of Termination, or comparable
      coverage, for two years, or, if sooner, until comparable health insurance
      coverage is available to Executive in connection with subsequent
      employment or self-employment. The coverage for which Executive shall
      continue to be eligible under this Section shall be made available at no
      greater cost or tax

                                       3
<PAGE>
      cost to Executive than that applicable to Executive at the time of
      termination of employment.

            (iv) Term life insurance equivalent in coverage, and at no greater
      cost or tax cost to Executive, to that elected by Executive at the time of
      the Notice of Termination, until the last day of the second calendar year
      beginning after termination of employment, or, if sooner, until comparable
      life insurance coverage is available to Executive in connection with
      subsequent employment or self-employment.

      (d) Termination Within Two Years Following a Change in Control. If, during
the Employment Term and within two years following a Change in Control,
Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by the
Executive for Good Reason, as hereinafter defined, Executive shall be entitled
to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 8(c), except that for purposes
of this Section 8(d), references in such Section to "two times" or " two years"
shall be changed to "three times" and "three years." In addition, Executive
shall be entitled to receive, for the three years following termination of
employment or, if sooner, until subsequently employed or self-employed, (i) all
perquisites and similar benefits he was receiving immediately prior to the time
of Notice of Termination, (ii) reimbursement of expenses relating to financial
planning services, up to a maximum amount per year equal to the average of such
amounts paid to Executive for the two calendar years preceding the Date of
Termination and (iii) reimbursement of expenses relating to outplacement
services, subject to a maximum reimbursement under this clause (iii) of $25,000.
For purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment after the commencement
of negotiations with a potential acquiror or business combination partner but
prior to an actual Change of Control shall be deemed to be a termination of
employment within two years following a Change in Control if such negotiations
subsequently result in a transaction with such acquiror or business combination
partner which constitutes a Change in Control.

      (e) Retirement. If during the Employment Term, Executive retires at normal
retirement age under the Company's qualified pension plan or any successor plan,
Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits specified in Section
8(b) as if his employment had terminated as a result of Disability.

      (f) Voluntary Termination of Employment. If during the Employment Term,
Executive terminates his employment under circumstances other than those
specified elsewhere in this Section 8, Executive shall be entitled to the
payments and benefits specified in Section 8(a).

      (g) Notice and Date of Termination. (i) Any purported termination of
employment by the Company or by Executive shall be communicated by written
Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 17(i)
hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a "NOTICE OF TERMINATION" shall mean a
notice which shall indicate (by reference to specific Section and sub-section
numbers and letters, for example, Section 8(d)) the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
employment under the provision so indicated. If the event or circumstance on
which the proposed termination of employment is

                                       4
<PAGE>
based is susceptible of cure, the Notice of Termination shall not be deemed
effective until Executive or the Company, as the case may be, has had at least
30 days to effect such cure, and unless such event or circumstance persists at
the end of such cure period.

            (ii) "DATE OF TERMINATION" shall mean (A) if employment is
      terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is
      given (provided that Executive shall not have returned to the full-time
      performance of his duties during such thirty (30) day period), (B) if
      employment is terminated by reason of death, the date of death, and (C) if
      employment is terminated for any other reason, subject to the
      effectiveness of notice and "cure" provisions of clause (i) above, the
      date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a
      termination of employment by the Company for Cause shall not be less than
      ten (10) days after the date such Notice of Termination is given);
      provided that if within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination
      is given the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other
      party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of
      Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is finally determined,
      either by mutual written agreement of the parties, by a binding
      arbitration award, or by a final judgment, order or decree of a court of
      competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or the time for appeal
      therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected); provided
      further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of
      dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving
      such notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable
      diligence; and provided, further that in the event Executive gives Notice
      of Termination for Good Reason based upon any matter referred to in clause
      (ii) of the definition of Good Reason, and it is thereafter determined
      that said grounds do not constitute Good Reason, then so long as Executive
      reasonably believed in good faith that he had grounds for termination of
      employment for Good Reason, the Company may not terminate Executive's
      employment for Cause based upon such matters.

      (h) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
Executive shall be obligated to execute a general release of claims in favor of
the Company, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, as a
condition to receiving benefits and payments under Sections 8(c) or (d) of this
Agreement.

      (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the
following provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination of
Executive's employment hereunder and/or termination of this Agreement: Sections
8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17(f) and (g).

      9. Definitions. (a) "CAUSE" shall mean (i) Executive's willful and
continued failure substantially to perform the duties of his position (other
than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental
illness or as a result of a termination by Executive for Good Reason, as
hereinafter defined), (ii) any willful act or omission by the Executive
constituting dishonesty, fraud or other malfeasance, which in any such case is
demonstrably (and, in the case of other malfeasance, materially) injurious to
the financial condition or business reputation of the Company or any of its
affiliates, or (iii) the Executive's conviction of a felony under the laws of

                                       5
<PAGE>
the United States or any state thereof or any other jurisdiction in which the
Company or any of its subsidiaries conducts business which materially impairs
the value of Executive's services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. For
purposes of this definition, no act or failure to act shall be deemed "willful"
unless effected by Executive not in good faith and without a reasonable belief
that such action or failure to act was in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Company.

      (b) "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following
events:

            (i) Any "person," as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of

      (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
      under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned
      directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in substantially
      the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company), is or
      becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
      Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
      representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's
      then outstanding securities;

            (ii) During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at
      the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director
      (other than a director designated by a person (as defined above) who has
      entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction
      described in subsections (i), (iii) or (iv) of this definition) whose
      election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's
      shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
      directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning
      of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously
      so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority
      thereof;

            (iii) The shareholders of the Company have approved a merger or
      consolidation of the Company with any other company and all other required
      governmental approvals of such merger or consolidation have been obtained,
      other than (A) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
      securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing
      to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
      voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 60% of the combined
      voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving
      entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (B) a
      merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the
      Company (or similar transaction) in which no person (as defined above)
      becomes the beneficial owner (as defined above) of more than 20% of the
      combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or

            (iv) The shareholders of the Company have approved a plan of
      complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
      disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's
      assets, and all other required governmental approvals of such transaction
      have been obtained.

                                       6
<PAGE>
      (c) "DISABILITY" shall mean the Executive's inability, as a result of
physical or mental incapacity, to perform the duties of his position for a
period of six (6) consecutive months or for an aggregate of six (6) months in
any twelve (12) consecutive month period. Any question as to the existence of
the Disability of Executive as to which Executive and the Company cannot agree
shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually
acceptable to Executive and the Company. If Executive and the Company cannot
agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a
physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such
determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the
Company and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the
Agreement.

      (d) "GOOD REASON" means:

            (i) Removal from, or failure to be reappointed or reelected to,
      Executive's position as specified in Section 2 (other than as a result of
      a promotion); or

            (ii) Material diminution in Executive's title, position, duties or
      responsibilities, re-assignment of Executive's reporting relationship to
      anyone other than the Board of Directors, or the assignment to Executive
      of duties that are inconsistent, in a material respect, with the scope of
      duties and responsibilities associated with Executive's position as
      specified in Section 2; or

            (iii) Reduction in Base Salary or target or maximum Bonus
      opportunity, reduction in level of participation in long term incentive,
      stock option and other equity award, benefit and other plans for executive
      officers; or

            (iv) Relocation of the executive's principal workplace without his
      consent to a location outside the New York metropolitan area; or

            (v) Other material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

            10. Certain Payments. (a) If any of the payments or benefits
      received or to be received by Executive in connection with a Change in
      Control or Executive's termination of employment, whether or not pursuant
      to this Agreement (such payments or benefits, excluding the Gross-Up
      Payment, as hereinafter defined, shall hereinafter be referred to as the
      "TOTAL PAYMENTS") will be subject to an excise tax as provided for in
      Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "CODE") (the "EXCISE TAX"),
      the Company shall pay to Executive an additional amount no later than the
      due date for Executive's tax return with respect to such Excise Tax (the
      "GROSS-UP PAYMENT") such that the net amount retained by the Executive,
      after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and any federal,
      state and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the
      Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments; provided, however,
      that if the Total Payments are less than 360% of the Executive's Base
      Amount, as defined in

                                       7
<PAGE>
      Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, the Executive shall not be entitled to the
      Gross-Up Payment, and the Total Payments shall be reduced as provided for
      in Section 10(d) below.

      (b) For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be
subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) all of the
Total Payments shall be treated as "parachute payments" (within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) unless, in the opinion of tax counsel ("TAX
COUNSEL") reasonably acceptable to Executive and selected by the accounting firm
acting as the "Auditor", as defined below, such payments or benefits (in whole
or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, including by reason of
Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (ii) all "Excess parachute payments" within
the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the
Excise Tax unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments
(in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually
rendered (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code) in excess of
the Base Amount allocable to such reasonable compensation, or are otherwise not
subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the value of any noncash benefits or any
deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Auditor in accordance
with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. For purposes of
determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to
pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation
in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and
local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and
locality of Executive's residence or, if higher, in the state and locality of
Executive's principal place of employment, on the date of termination (or if
there is no date of termination, then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is
calculated for purposes of this Section 10), net of the maximum reduction in
federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and
local taxes.

      (c) In the event that the Excise Tax is finally determined to be less than
the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment,
Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such
reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up
Payment attributable to such reduction (including that portion of the Gross-Up
Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income and
employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Executive
to the extent that such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a
federal, state or local income or employment tax deduction). In the event that
the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder
in calculating the Gross-Up Payment (including by reason of any payment the
existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up
Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of
such excess (plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by the Executive
with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is
finally determined. The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably
cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial
proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with
respect to the Total Payments.

      (d) If the Total Payments would constitute an excess parachute payment,
but are less than 360% of the Base Amount, such payments shall be reduced to the
largest amount that may be paid to the Executive without the imposition of the
Excise Tax or the disallowance as

                                       8
<PAGE>
deductions to the Company under Section 280G of the Code of any such payments.
Unless Executive shall have given prior written notice to the Company specifying
a different order, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the payments or
benefits by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the payments or
benefits that are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash
payments, in each case, in reverse chronological order, starting with payments
or benefits that are to be paid farthest in time from the applicable
determination of the Auditor (as defined below). Any written notice given by
Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the
provisions of any plan, agreement or arrangement governing Executive's
entitlement and rights to such payments or benefits.

      (e) All determinations under this Section 10 shall be made by a nationally
recognized accounting firm selected by the Executive (the "AUDITOR"), and the
Company shall pay all costs and expenses of the Auditor. The Company shall
cooperate in good faith in making such determinations and in providing the
necessary information for this purpose.

      11. Indemnification. The Company will indemnify Executive (and his legal
representative or other successors) to the fullest extent permitted (including a
payment of expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding) by
applicable law, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission, or by
the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, as in effect at
such time or on the Commencement Date, or by the terms of any indemnification
agreement between the Company and Executive, whichever affords or afforded
greatest protection to Executive, and Executive shall be entitled to the
protection of any insurance policies the Company may elect to maintain generally
for the benefit of its directors and officers (and to the extent the Company
maintains such an insurance policy or policies, Executive shall be covered by
such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum
extent of the coverage available for any Company officer or director), against
all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by him or his
legal representatives (including but not limited to any judgment entered by a
court of law) at the time such costs, charges and expenses are incurred or
sustained, in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which Executive
(or his legal representatives or other successors) may be made a party by reason
of his having accepted employment with the Company or by reason of his being or
having been a director, officer or employee of the Company, or any subsidiary of
the Company, or his serving or having served any other enterprise as a director,
officer or employee at the request of the Company. Executive's rights under this
Section 11 shall continue without time limit for so long as he may be subject to
any such liability, whether or not the Employment Term may have ended.

      12. Non-Competition. Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly
competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its affiliates and
accordingly agrees that

      (a) during the Employment Term:

            (i) Executive will not directly or indirectly engage in any business
      which is in competition with any line of business then conducted by the
      Company or its affiliates (including without limitation by performing or
      soliciting the performance of services for

                                       9
<PAGE>
      any person who is a customer or client of the Company or any of its
      affiliates) whether such engagement is as an officer, director,
      proprietor, employee, partner, investor (other than as a holder of less
      than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of a publicly traded
      corporation), consultant, advisor, agent, sales representative or other
      participant, in any location in which the Company or any of its affiliates
      then conducts any such competing line of business; and

            (ii) Executive will not directly or indirectly induce any employee
      of the Company or any of its affiliates to engage in any activity in which
      Executive is prohibited to engage by this Section, or to terminate his or
      her employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, and will not
      directly or indirectly employ or offer employment to any person who was
      employed by the Company or any of its affiliates unless such person shall
      have ceased to be employed by the Company or any of its affiliates for a
      period of at least 12 months; and

            (iii) Executive will not directly or indirectly solicit customers or
      suppliers of the Company or its affiliates or induce any such person to
      materially reduce or terminate its relationship with the Company.

      (b) for one year following the Employment Term:

            (i) Executive will not directly or indirectly engage in any local
      directional advertising or marketing (whether in print, electronic,
      wireless or other format) business or provide pre-press publishing or
      utilize digital and intranet technologies to repurpose print directory
      information for electronic, wireless or related distribution, in each case
      which is in competition with the business then conducted by the Company or
      its affiliates, whether such engagement is as an officer, director,
      proprietor, employee, partner, investor (other than as a holder of less
      than 5% of the outstanding capital stock of a publicly traded
      corporation), consultant, advisor, agent, sales representative or other
      participant, in any location in which the Company or any of its affiliates
      then conducts any such competing line of business; and

            (ii) Executive will not directly or indirectly induce any employee
      of the Company or any of its affiliates to engage in any activity in which
      Executive is prohibited to engage by this Section, or to terminate his or
      her employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, and will not
      directly or indirectly employ or offer employment to any person who was
      employed by the Company or any of its affiliates unless such person shall
      have ceased to be employed by the Company or any of its affiliates for a
      period of at least 12 months; and

            (iii) Executive will not directly or indirectly solicit customers or
      suppliers of the Company or its affiliates or induce any such person to
      materially reduce or terminate its relationship with the Company.

                                       10
<PAGE>
For purposes of this Agreement, "directional advertising or marketing" shall
mean advertising or marketing primarily (1) designed for purposes of directing
consumers who are seeking a product or service to providers of that product or
service in order to satisfy such consumer's previously recognized need or desire
for such product or service and (2) generally delivered by non-intrusive means;
and shall be distinguished from "creative advertising or marketing," which is
primarily (1) designed to stimulate (as opposed to direct) demand for products
or services in consumers who did not previously recognize such need or desire
for such products or services and (2) generally delivered by intrusive means.

It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company
consider the restrictions contained in this Section 12 to be reasonable, if a
final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that
the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an
unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Agreement
shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such
maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may
judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court
of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement
is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it
enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the
other restrictions contained herein.

      13. Confidentiality; Nondisparagement. (a) Executive will not at any time
(whether during or after his employment with the Company) disclose or use for
his own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other person,
firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business
organization, entity or enterprise other than the Company and any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, any trade secrets, information, data, or other
confidential information relating to customers, development programs, costs,
marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and
financial data, manufacturing processes, financing methods, plans, employees,
organizational structure or the business and affairs of the Company generally,
or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to information which is not unique to the Company or which is
generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of
Executive's breach of this covenant. Executive agrees that upon termination of
his employment with the Company for any reason, he will return to the Company
immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other
data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the business
of the Company and its affiliates, except that he may retain personal notes,
notebooks, rolodexes and diaries. Executive further agrees that he will not
retain or use for his account at any time any trade names, trademark or other
proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business
of the Company or its affiliates.

      (b) Executive will not knowingly disparage the reputation of the Company
in a manner that causes or is reasonably likely to cause material harm to its
business; provided, however, that Executive may (i) express his own opinions
about the Company to other senior executives of the Company or to the Board and
(ii) comply with applicable legal process without being deemed to have violated
this provision.

                                       11
<PAGE>
      14. Material Inducement; Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and
agrees that the covenants entered into by Executive in Sections 12 and 13(a) are
essential elements of the parties' agreement as expressed herein, are a material
inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement and the breach thereof
would be a material breach of this Agreement. Executive further acknowledges and
agrees that the Company's remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of
any of the provisions of Sections 12 or Section 13(a) would be inadequate and,
in recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a
breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company,
without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the
form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or
permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

      15. Litigation Support. Executive agrees that he will assist and cooperate
with the Company, at the Company's sole cost and expense and, in the case of
post-termination, in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with any other
employment obligations of Executive, in connection with the defense or
prosecution of any claim that may be made against or by the Company or its
affiliates, or in connection with any ongoing or future investigation or dispute
or claim of any kind involving the Company or its affiliates, including any
proceeding before any arbitral, administrative, judicial, legislative, or other
body or agency, including testifying in any proceeding, to the extent such
claims, investigations or proceedings relate to services performed or required
to be performed by Executive, pertinent knowledge possessed by Executive, or any
act or omission by Executive. Executive further agrees to perform all acts and
to execute and deliver any documents that may be reasonably necessary to carry
out the provisions of this Section, at the Company's sole cost and expense and,
in the case of post-termination, in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere
with any other employment obligations of Executive. If Executive determines in
good faith that separate counsel is necessary in connection with its compliance
with this Section 15, then the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel retained by Executive in connection herewith. Following
Executive's termination of employment, this covenant shall expire and be of no
further force or effect upon the later to occur of (a) one year following such
termination of employment and (b) in the event of termination of employment
under Sections 8(c) or (d), the maximum number of years following such
termination specified in the applicable sub-section during which Executive is
eligible to continue to participate in the Company's benefit plans.

      16. Legal Fees. The Company will pay or reimburse Executive, as incurred,
all legal fees and costs incurred by Executive in enforcing his rights under the
Agreement, if Executive's position substantially prevails. Following a Change in
Control, the Company will pay or reimburse Executive, as incurred, for all such
fees and costs unless Executive's claim was frivolous or was brought or pursued
by Executive in bad faith.

      17. Miscellaneous. (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

      (b) Entire Agreement/Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the employment of Executive by the
Company. There are no

                                       12
<PAGE>
restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings
between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those
expressly set forth herein and in the incentive compensation and other employee
benefit plans and arrangements of the Company referenced herein. This Agreement
may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by
the parties hereto.

      (c) No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to
any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of
such party's rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon
strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

      (d) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

      (e) Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Executive and
shall be assignable by the Company only with the consent of Executive except as
set forth in Section 17(h); provided that no such assignment by the Company
shall relieve the Company of any liability hereunder, whether accrued before or
after such assignment.

      (f) No Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount
of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise, and no such employment, if obtained, or compensation or benefits
payable in connection therewith, shall reduce any amounts or benefits to which
Executive is entitled hereunder except as provided for in Sections 8(c) and (d).

      (g) Arbitration. Any dispute between the parties to this Agreement arising
from or relating to the terms of this Agreement (other than as specified under
Section 14 with respect to Sections 12 and 13(a) hereof) or the employment of
Executive by the Company shall be submitted to arbitration in New York, New York
under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association.

      (h) Successors; Binding Agreement

            (i) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
      indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
      substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to
      expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner
      and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if
      no such succession had taken place. Such assumption and agreement shall be
      obtained prior to the effectiveness of any such succession. As used in
      this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined
      and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes
      and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.
      Prior to a Change in Control, the term "Company" shall also mean any
      affiliate of the Company to which Executive may be transferred and the
      Company shall cause such successor employer to be considered the "Company"
      bound by the terms of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be amended
      to so provide. Following a Change in Control the term "Company" shall not
      mean any affiliate of the Company to which Executive may be transferred
      unless Executive shall have previously approved of such transfer in
      writing, in which case the Company shall cause such successor employer to
      be considered the "Company" bound by the terms of this Agreement and this
      Agreement shall be amended to so provide.

            (ii) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
      upon personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
      successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive
      should die while any amount would still be payable to Executive hereunder
      if Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise
      provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this
      Agreement to the devisee, legatee or other designee of Executive or, if
      there is no such designee, to the estate of Executive.

      (i) Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the
Executive at the address appearing from time to time in the personnel records of
the Company and to the Company at the address of its corporate headquarters,
directed to the attention of the Board with a copy to the Secretary of the
Company, or in either case to such other address as either party may have
furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of
change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

      (j) Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable
under this Agreement such Federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to
be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

      (k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto
and hereto were upon the same instrument.

                                       14
