Board of Directors

5711 South 86^th Circle
Omaha, NE 68127

Gentlemen:

Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter, Vin Gupta & Company, LLC., an entity in which I am the manager and principal shareholder proposes to purchase all of the outstanding common stock of infoUSA INC. (“infoUSA” or the “Company”) that I don’t presently own for $11.75 per share in cash. This proposed price represents a 25% premium to today’s closing share price. It also represents a substantial premium to the volume-weighted average closing prices for the Company’s common stock for the 30 day, 60 day, 90 day and one year periods ending today.

In this transaction, I would contribute my entire equity ownership interest in infoUSA. The funds necessary to provide for the cash portion of this transaction would be obtained solely from debt financing, so that I do not intend to have any other equity investors in this transaction other than certain members of management. I and our financial advisors have had confidential discussions with several global financial institutions and we are confident that this transaction will be completed expeditiously and consistent with the terms proposed herein. These lenders have each advised us that they are committed to dedicate the resources and time required to successfully complete the process in a timely manner.

Closing of this transaction would be subject to a number of customary conditions, including but not limited to finalizing the debt financing, including completion of definitive documentation on mutually acceptable terms, and receipt of necessary approvals, all of which we believe will be received in a timely manner. Assuming full cooperation from the Board of Directors of the Company, we believe that this transaction may be closed within 90 days.

This letter of course constitutes a non-binding proposal and no party shall be bound in any way in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby until the parties execute mutually acceptable definitive documents.

It is my belief that this proposal offers infoUSA’s shareholders the best opportunity to realize a very attractive value for their shares. It also offers employees of infoUSA the opportunity to remain with the Company and continue serving our customers. As the Board considers its response to this proposal, it should be aware that I do not desire to dispose of any of my shares of infoUSA common stock, nor do I intend to vote in favor of any transaction involving a change in control of the Company other than the proposed transaction.

We look forward to your response to this proposal. Please feel free to contact me (at the number set forth herein) or Rick Massey of Stephens Inc., our lead financial advisor (at 501-377-3461) if you would like to discuss further any aspect of our proposal.

Sincerely,

/s/ Vin Gupta
