AWARD AGREEMENT

[Name]

(“Grantee”)

1.                                      GRANT OF AWARD.  The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of SuperMedia Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the Company’s 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and 2012 Cash Long Term Incentive Plan, hereby awards to you, the above-named Grantee, effective as of the Date of Award set forth above (the “Date of Award”), an incentive bonus award that entitles you to become eligible to receive cash payment(s) from the Company in the amounts as determined as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Incentive Amounts”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement (this “Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

Under this Agreement, you have an opportunity to earn an incentive cash payment based upon the achievement of the performance goals assigned to you by the Committee for each of the two fiscal years within the two-year period beginning January 1, 2012, and ending December 31, 2013 (such two-year period referred to herein as the “Performance Period,” and each fiscal year during the Performance Period referred to herein as a “Measurement Period”), as compared with the target performance goals established for you by the Committee for the applicable Measurement Period.  The target performance goals for the 2012 Measurement Period are set forth on Exhibit A and the target performance goals for the 2013 Measurement Period shall be established by the Committee on or before March 31, 2013.

The Committee may not increase the amount payable under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in its sole discretion, the Committee may reduce your Target Incentive Amount for a Performance Period and reduce the amount of the award payable under this Agreement.  If the threshold performance goals are not achieved for a Measurement Period then the award pursuant to this Agreement related to such Measurement Period shall lapse and be forfeited as of the end of the applicable Measurement Period. The Committee’s determinations with respect to a Measurement Period or Performance Period for purposes of this Agreement shall be binding upon all persons.

2.                                      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT/CHANGE IN CONTROL.  The following provisions will apply in the event your employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates on or before the end of the Performance Period.

2.1                               Termination Generally.  Except as specified in Sections 2.2 through 2.5 below, if your employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates on or before the payment of the Award hereunder, all of your rights under this Agreement will lapse and be completely forfeited on the date your employment terminates.

2.2                               Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason.  Except as provided in Section 2.3, if the Company terminates your employment without Cause or if you terminate your employment with the Company for Good Reason (a) following the end of the 2012 Measurement Period and before the end of the Performance Period, then the Company shall pay to you in cash an amount equal to the amount, if any, you actually would have received under this Agreement with respect to the 2012 Measurement Period as if your employment with the Company and its Affiliates had not been so terminated; or (b) following the end of the 2013 Measurement Period and before the Incentive Amounts, if any, are paid, then the Company shall pay to you in cash an amount equal to the amount you actually would have received under this Agreement with respect to the 2012 and 2013 Measurement Periods as if your employment with the Company and its Affiliates had not been so terminated.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company terminates your employment without Cause or if you terminate your employment with the Company for Good Reason before January 1, 2013 or a Potential or Actual Change in Control of the Company has not occurred prior to that date, all of your rights under this Agreement with respect to any Incentive Amounts hereunder will lapse and be completely forfeited on the date your employment so terminates.  Any amount payable to you under this Section 2.2 shall be paid to you by the Company at the same time similarly situated employees receive Incentive Amounts for such Measurement Period.

2.3                               Potential or Actual Change in Control of the Company.

(i)                                     Continuous Employment Following a Change in Control of the Company.  If you are employed by the Company upon a Change in Control of the Company and remain continuously employed by the Company for the entirety of the six-month period following the Change in Control of the Company, then on the Payment Date the Company shall pay to you in cash an amount equal to the maximum amount you would have received under this Agreement less any amounts you previously received under this Agreement.

(ii)                                  Termination without Cause or Termination for Good Reason in Connection with a Potential Change in Control of the Company Before the End of the Performance Period.  If the Company terminates your employment without Cause or if you terminate your employment with the Company for Good Reason before the end of the Performance Period and prior to a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in Control of the Company ever occurs), and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control of the Company or is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in Control of the Company ever occurs), then on the Payment Date the Company shall pay to you in cash an amount equal to the maximum amount you would have received under this Agreement less any amounts you previously received under this Agreement.

(iii)                               Termination without Cause or Termination for Good Reason in Connection with an Actual Change in Control of the Company Before the End of the Performance Period.  If the Company terminates your employment without Cause or if you terminate your employment with the Company for Good Reason before the end of the Performance Period but less than six months after a Change in Control of the Company occurs, then on the Payment Date the Company shall pay to you in cash an amount equal to the maximum amount you would have received under this Agreement less any amounts you previously received under this Agreement.

(iv)                              Payment Date.  An amount payable to you under Section 2.3(i) shall be paid to you by the Company on the first regular payroll date next following the six-month anniversary of the applicable Change in Control of the Company.   An amount payable to you under Section 2.3(ii)

or 2.3(iii) shall be paid to you by the Company on the first regular payroll date next following your termination of employment or such later date as may be required under Section 5.

2.4                               Disability.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if your employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates because you incur a Disability before the end of the Performance Period and while in the active employ of the Company or its Affiliates, then on the Payment Date the Company will pay you in cash an amount equal to the amount, if any, you would have received under this Agreement if your employment with the Company and its Affiliates had not been terminated before the end of the Performance Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period commencing on January 1, 2012 and ending on the date of your termination due to a Disability and the denominator of which is 730, less any amounts you previously received under this Agreement.  If you are eligible for a payment under this Section 2.4 and die prior to receiving such payment, the Company shall pay your estate the amount as determined in the preceding sentence.   For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” means, as determined by the Committee in its discretion exercised in good faith, any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months and that would entitle you to payment of disability income payments under the Company’s long-term disability insurance policy or plan for employees as then in effect for a period of not less than three months; or in the event that you are not covered, for whatever reason, under the Company’s long-term disability insurance policy or plan for employees or in the event the Company does not maintain such a long-term disability insurance policy, “Disability” means you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months.  A determination of Disability may be made by a physician selected or approved by the Committee and, in this respect, you shall submit to an examination by such physician upon request by the Committee.

2.5                               Death.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if you die before the end of the Performance Period and while in the active employ of the Company, then on the Payment Date the Company will pay your estate in cash an amount equal to the amount, if any, you would have received under this Agreement if your employment with the Company and its Affiliates had not terminated due to your death before the end of the Performance Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period commencing on January 1, 2012 and ending on the date of your death and the denominator of which is 730, less any amounts you previously received under this Agreement.

Exhibit A
Incentive Amounts

The Incentive Amounts actually payable to you for the 2012 and 2013 Measurement Periods shall be determined based on the Company’s relative achievement during the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years of the performance metrics established by the Committee for EBITDA and multi-product ad sales, as set forth below.

The amount payable to you under this Agreement as your award for the applicable Measurement Period is equal to an amount calculated as [(A x B) + (A x C)], where:

A = one-half of your Target Incentive Amount for the applicable Measurement Period

B = the applicable EBITDA Incentive Multiplier for such Measurement Period

C = the applicable Multi-product Ad Sales Incentive Multiplier for such Measurement Period

The EBITDA target performance objective for the 2012 Measurement Period is [·] (the “EBITDA Target”).  The EBITDA Incentive Multiplier will be a percentage that results from interpolating actual Company results from Column 1A below with the incentive multiplier range in Column 1B for the applicable Measurement Period:

The Multi-product Ad Sales target performance objective for the 2012 Measurement Period is [·] (the “Multi-product Ad Sales Target”).  The Multi-product Ad Sales Incentive Multiplier will be the percentage that results from interpolating on a straight-line basis the actual Company results from Column 2A with the incentive multiplier range in Column 2B for the applicable Measurement Period:

Calculation of the Company’s EBITDA and Multi-product Ad Sales results for each Measurement Period, and any Incentive Amounts payable to you for each Measurement Period and the Performance Period, will be as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.

The EBITDA Target and Multi-product Ad Sales Target, along with threshold and maximum performance levels and fixed points of performance achievement that correspond to specified incentive multipliers for the 2013 Measurement Period, shall be established by the Committee on or before March 31, 2013.  You will be informed of the EBITDA Target and Multi-product Ad Sales Target, along with threshold and maximum performance levels and fixed points of performance achievement that correspond to specified incentive multipliers for the 2013 Measurement Period as soon as practicable following the Committee’s establishment of the targets and performance and payout ranges.
