1. | Term - Section 7.1. In accordance with the language in Section 7.1 of the Agreement, the Parties hereby agree to renew the Agreement through and including December 31, 2016.

In the event that the MCM Network Integration is successfully completed and fully operational (with purchases able to be made through the network) by March 31, 2016, then during such period of operation following the MCM Network Integration through the end of the Term of this Agreement, subject to the applicable terms set forth below, Marchex shall provide to YP the *** described below and in Schedule A in relation to any purchases made by YP on the MCM Network for fulfillment of In-House Services (or non-Covered Services).

[***] | Certain information in this agreement has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing MCM Network Integration shall enable, subject to other parameters to be mutually agreed between the Parties, YP to purchase inventory on MCM alongside other media and campaign options available in YPs platform in the form such other options are generally made available for the purpose of YPs fulfillment of its own products and services that are In-House Services or are not Covered Services, as those terms are defined in the Master Services and License Agreement entered between the Parties October 1, 2007 (as amended by all Amendments, Change Rule Sheets, and Project Addenda (as amended), thereto, and including all attachments, collectively the MSLA), such as ypSearch and any other relevant YP products. Purchases on the MCM Networks shall not be considered a Covered Service.
b. ***.
c. ypSearch Marketplace Network Integration. Marchex will also work in good faith with YP to integrate YP owned and operated media, adjusted for network or customer conflicts that may exist, into the MCM purchasing option platform Marchex may use for similarly situated media, provided that Marchex may not purchase inventory on the ypSearch Marketplace to fulfill any clicks or calls for Covered Services, nor spend any portion of the Media Spend for Covered Services on ypSearch Marketplace, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing signed by both Parties. Marchex may in its discretion determine the appropriate volume levels of any purchases of inventory on ypSearch Marketplace based on customer experience, pricing, inventory quality and quantity factors and other relevant matters relevant to the MCM customer base, in the professional discretion of Marchex.
