WARRANT TO PURCHASE PREFERRED STOCK
of
LOCAL MATTERS, INC.

This Warrant (the "Warrant") is issued to Dex Media, Inc. ("Holder") by Local Matters, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), on September 8, 2005 (the "Warrant Issue Date") in accordance with the terms of that certain Letter of Intent, dated December 19, 2004, attached as Appendix 4 to the "Dex—Aptas Work Order Number Two to the Professional Services Agreement," entered into by and among the parties on or about December 20, 2004.

1. Purchase Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company, 239,554 shares of the Company's Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Warrant Shares") at the exercise price (defined below) subject to adjustments as provided in Section 6.

2. Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Warrant Shares shall be $4.01 per Warrant Share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 6 hereof (the "Exercise Price").

3. Exercise Period. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 3, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the Warrant Issue Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the seventh anniversary of the date hereof, (ii) three (3) years after closing of the sale and issuance of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock") in a firmly underwritten initial public offering, pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10,000,000 (the "Initial Public Offering"), or (iii) immediately preceding a Change of Control. The term "Change of Control" shall mean (a) the acquisition of the Company pursuant to a consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company with or into any other person in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a reincorporation); or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person. In the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall provide the Holder with thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the event constituting the Change of Control. Further, in the event of a Change of Control whereby (x) the consideration to be received by Holder in the event of a Change of Control in respect of the Warrant Shares exceeds the exercise price of this Warrant and (y) Holder has not notified the Company of Holder's intent to exercise this Warrant within the 30-days notice provision contained in this Section 3, then, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised as of the closing of the event constituting the Change of Control in accordance with the terms of Section 5 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall be exercisable as to up to 80% of the Warrant Shares as of the date hereof, and shall be exercisable as to the remaining 20% of the Warrant Shares only after the date on which the Holder has made gross payments to the Company in connection with the Professional Services Agreement amounting to an aggregate of at least $3,000,000 in any 12 month period.

4. Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 3 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

(a) the surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and

(b) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares being purchased.

5. Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 above, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the Notice of Exercise attached hereto indicating such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder hereof a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

		X =	Y (A - B)
			A
X	=	The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to the net exercise.
Y	=	The number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the net exercise election is made.
A	=	The fair market value of one Warrant Share at the time the net exercise election is made.
B	=	The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of the net exercise).

For purposes of this Section 5, the fair market value of one Warrant Share as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (i) if traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market, the value shall be deemed to be the closing price of the securities on such exchange on the date of the exercise of this Warrant; (ii) if traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the net exercise; (iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, that if this Warrant is being exercised upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the value will be the initial "Price to Public" of the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Warrant Share is convertible as specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering; and (iv) if this Warrant is being exercised in connection with a merger or acquisition, the fair market value of a Warrant Share will be the value offered per such share in such merger or acquisition, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

6. Adjustment.

(a) Subdivision, Combination and Recapitalization. If the Company shall at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the Warrant Shares subject to acquisition hereunder, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Preferred Stock subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) the shares of Preferred Stock subject to acquisition hereunder, then, after the date of record for

effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Preferred Stock subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased. In the event of changes in the Warrant Shares by reason of recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment; provided, however, that such adjustment shall not be made with respect to, and this Warrant shall terminate if not exercised prior to, a Change of Control. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.

(b) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of any Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

7. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Warrant Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter (with appropriate restrictive legends, if applicable), and in any event within ten (10) days of the delivery of the subscription notice.

8. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that the Warrant Shares, when issued pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

9. Investment Representations.
