Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 1, 2008, Marchex, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement providing for a senior secured $30 million revolving credit facility with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent and issuing lender and the several banks and financial institutions time to time parties thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The credit facility matures and all outstanding borrowings are due on the third anniversary of the credit agreement. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility may be used for general business purposes, including to finance permitted acquisitions.

Interest on loans accrues at a rate which will be, at the Company’s option, either: (i) the applicable margin rate (depending on the Company’s leverage) plus the one-month LIBOR rate reset daily, or (b) the applicable margin rate plus the 1, 2, 3, or 6-month LIBOR rate. Voluntary prepayments are permitted at any time without premium or penalty except for the payment of lender’s interest differential in certain circumstances. A default interest rate applies on all obligations during an event of default under the credit facility, at a rate per annum of up to 2.0% above the otherwise applicable interest rate. The credit facility requires the Company to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, as of the end of the previous quarter.

The credit facility contains customary representations and warranties and places certain business operating restrictions on the Company relating to, among other things, indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, dispositions of property, restricted payments and investments. In addition, the credit agreement provides for a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum liquidity amount. The credit facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, material judgments, invalidity of the loan documents and events constituting a change of control. The Company’s obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of assets of the Company and such subsidiaries.

The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s next applicable periodic report or registration statement.
