 Exhibit 10.18 

FORM OF DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 

This Form of Director Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into this 8th day of May, 2009 between Marchex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
and                     (the “Participant”). 

WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors of the Company has agreed to grant to the Participant,      shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares” or “Common Stock”) in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2003 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and 

WHEREAS, the Shares are subject to certain restrictions; and 

WHEREAS, a condition to the grant of the Shares to the Participant is that the Participant execute this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Shares. Subject to the
terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby awards to the Participant,      Shares on May 8, 2009 (the “Grant Date”). To the extent required by law, the Participant
shall pay the Company the par value ($0.01) (the “Purchase Price”) for each Share awarded to the Participant simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement in cash or cash equivalents payable to the order of the Company.
Pursuant to the Plan and Section 4 of this Agreement, the Shares are subject to certain restrictions, which restrictions shall expire in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and Section 4 hereof. While such restrictions are in
effect, the Shares subject to such restrictions shall be referred to herein as “Restricted Stock”, and Shares as to which such restrictions have expired shall be referred to herein as “Vested Shares.” 

2. Right to Repurchase Upon Termination of Director Relationship. In the event Participant’s relationship with the Company as a
director terminates, for any reason whatsoever, whether due to voluntary or involuntary action, death, disability or otherwise, the Company shall have the right to repurchase at the original price paid therefor all or any portion of the Restricted
Stock, which right may be exercised at any time and from time to time within ninety (90) days after the date of such termination. 
 3.
Exercise of Right of Repurchase. The Company may exercise its right of repurchase by providing written notice to the Participant stating the number of Shares of Restricted Stock to be repurchased, the aggregate price to be paid (the
“Repurchase Price”) and the date (the “Repurchase Date”) such repurchase shall occur (which shall be a date not fewer than ten (10) and not more than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice). On the
Repurchase Date, the Company shall deliver the Repurchase Price to the Participant, by check or 







 
wire of immediately available funds, against delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be repurchased and duly endorsed stock powers. 

4. Vesting of Shares. So long as the Participant continues as a director of the Company, the Shares will be deemed to become
“Vested Shares” as follows: one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares shall vest on the one (1) year anniversary of the Grant Date. One hundred percent (100%) of the Shares not already vested as of the date of a Change
of Control, shall become immediately vested upon such Change of Control. For the purposes hereof, “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: 

 

	 	(i)	an acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the “Voting Securities”) by any “Person” or “Group” (as such terms are
used for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) immediately after which such Person or Group has Beneficial Ownership (within the meaning of Rule l3d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, in determining whether or not a Change of Control has occurred, Voting
Securities which are acquired in a “Non-Control Acquisition” (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would constitute a Change of Control. A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an
acquisition by (i) any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any affiliate of the Company, (ii) the Company, (iii) any Person in connection with a Non-Control Transaction (as hereinafter
defined), or (iv) any holder of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of the date hereof; 

  

	 	(ii)	individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming
a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though
such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of
directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or 

  

	 	(iii)	the consummation of: 

  

	 	(a)	 A merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued, unless such merger, consolidation
or reorganization is a “Non-Control Transaction”. A 



  
 -2- 









	 	
“Non-Control Transaction” is a merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued where: 


 

	 	A.	the shareholders of the Company immediately before such merger, consolidation, or reorganization, own, directly or indirectly, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of the corporation resulting form such merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger,
consolidation or reorganization, 

  

	 	B.	the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such merger, consolidation or reorganization constitute at least a majority of the members of the
board of directors of the Surviving Corporation or a corporation owning directly or indirectly fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the Voting Securities of the Surviving Corporation, and 


 

	 	C.	no Person or Group, other than (i) the Company, (ii) any subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company immediately prior to
such merger, consolidation, or reorganization, or (iv) any holder of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of the date hereof, owns twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation’s
then-outstanding voting securities; or 

  

	 	(b)	a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or 

  

	 	(c)	the sale of disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person. 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject
Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities outstanding,
increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided that if a Change of Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) and after such acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company, the
Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities, then a Change of Control shall occur. 
 There shall be no
proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to the applicable vesting dates and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate vesting date. Fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from any vesting hereunder shall be aggregated until,
and eliminated 

  
 -3- 








 
at, the time of vesting by rounding-down for fractions less than one-half and rounding-up for fractions equal to or greater than one-half. Cash settlements shall be made with respect to
fractional shares of Common Stock eliminated by rounding in accordance with the Plan. 
 5. Transfers. No Participant shall, directly
or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or dispose of (either voluntarily or by operation of law or otherwise) all or any of his or her Restricted Stock (or any interest therein or any option, warrant or other
right with respect thereto). 
 6. Rights as a Holder of Restricted Stock. From and after the Grant Date, the Participant shall have,
with respect to the Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to receive and retain all regular cash dividends payable to holders of shares of record on and after the Grant
Date (although such dividends will be treated, to the extent required by applicable law, as additional compensation for tax purposes), voting rights and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of shares with respect to the
Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that (i) the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock until such shares are no longer Restricted Stock; and (ii) the
Company (or its designated agent) will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock. 
 7.
Taxes; Section 83(b) Election. The Participant acknowledges that (i) no later than the date on which any Restricted Stock shall have become vested or upon the filing of an election under Section 83(b) as provided below, the
Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any Restricted Stock which shall have become so
vested; and (ii) the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect
to any Restricted Stock which shall have become so vested or other withholding taxes that are required by law, including that the Company may, but shall not be required to, sell a number of Shares sufficient to cover applicable withholding taxes.
Subject to the Participant’s compliance with the Company’s policy on Insider Trading (as in effect from time to time), the Participant may elect to pay the Company his or her obligations for the payment of such taxes through a special sale
and remittance procedure commonly referred to as a “cashless exercise” or “sell to cover” transaction pursuant to which the Participant shall concurrently provide irrevocable written instructions: (i) to the
Company’s designated stock plan administrator to effect the immediate sale of a sufficient number of the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Shares to enable the Company’s designated stock plan administrator to remit, out of the sales
proceeds available upon the settlement date, sufficient funds to the Company to cover all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason of such vesting and/or sale; and (ii) to
the Company to deliver any certificate(s) or other evidence of ownership for such sold Shares directly to the Company’s designated stock plan administrator in order to complete the sale transaction. The Participant also acknowledges that it is
his or her sole responsibility, and not the Company’s, to file timely and properly any election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any corresponding provisions of state tax laws, if the Participant
wishes to utilize such election.
