Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 17, 2016, Marchex Sales LLC (“Marchex Sales”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marchex, Inc. (“Marchex”) and YellowPages.com LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly doing business as AT&T Interactive or ATTi (“YP”) entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Master Services and License Agreement dated December 15, 2016 (“Amendment 4 to the Master Services and License Agreement”), which amends the Master Services and License Agreement originally dated as of October 1, 2007, by and between Marchex Sales and YP and as amended to date. Amendment 4 to the Master Services and License Agreement extends the term through December 31, 2018 and provides YP with certain termination rights beginning January 1, 2018 upon four (4) months prior notice.

On December 17, 2016, Marchex Sales and YP entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Pay-for-Call Distribution Agreement dated December 15, 2016 (“Amendment 3 to the Pay-for-Call Distribution Agreement”), which amends the Pay-For-Call Distribution Agreement originally effective as of January 1, 2011, by and between Marchex Sales and YP and as amended to date. Amendment 3 to the Pay-For-Call Distribution Agreement extends the term through December 31, 2018 and modifies the parameters for certain quarterly rebate credits that YP may earn based on level of spend during the term.

The above summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to Amendment 4 to the Master Services and License Agreement and Amendment No. 3 to the Pay-For-Call Distribution Agreement, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to Marchex’s next applicable periodic report or registration statement.

 

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 19, 2016, Marchex terminated its Credit Agreement originally dated as of April 1, 2008 and as amended to date (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association as administrative agent thereunder (“US Bank”) which provided for a secured revolving credit facility of up to $30.0 million. Marchex never borrowed funds under the Credit Agreement.  Marchex’s management determined that the credit facility was no longer needed and therefore was not cost beneficial to Marchex. Marchex did not incur any early termination penalties associated with the termination of the Credit Agreement.  In connection with such termination, all liens that US Bank held on the assets of Marchex were released and terminated.
