We are confident that you will continue to play a key role in comScore’s continued success while helping us remain a leader in the provision of innovative and valuable marketing solutions.
You will continue working from comScore’s offices located in Reston, VA.
Effective as of May 15, 2009, your base salary will be $10,000 Semi-Monthly (equivalent to an annual salary of $240,000.00), payable in accordance with comScore’s standard payroll practice and subject to applicable payroll deductions and withholdings. Consistent with other senior comScore management, this amount will be reduced by 7.5% effective on May 15, 2009, and will continue indefinitely until the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) provides otherwise.

The One-Time Restricted Stock Award will be governed by the comScore, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and related award agreement.
In connection with the execution of this offer letter, you and comScore are entering into amendments to certain of your outstanding stock option and restricted stock awards.

In the event your employment with comScore ends before your Transition Restricted Stock Award is fully vested, you will forfeit the unvested portion as of the date of your separation. The Transition Restricted Stock Award will be governed by the 2007 Plan and related award agreement.
In addition, subject to approval by the Committee, during the Committee meeting at which the approval of discretionary performance-based equity incentive awards for calendar year 2009 is scheduled to take place, you will be eligible for an award of restricted shares of comScore’s

common stock (the “Performance Restricted Stock Award”) with the value of up to 75% of the actual earned salary you earned during 2009 in the position of Executive Vice President, Human Capital, after giving effect to the 7.5% reduction. The Performance Restricted Stock Award shall vest in equal yearly installments over three (3) years, with the initial 25% tranche vesting on the date your equity incentive award is approved by the Committee. In the event your employment with comScore ends before your Performance Restricted Stock Award is fully vested, you will forfeit the unvested portion as of the date of your separation. The Performance Restricted Stock Award will be subject to the applicable comScore bonus plan, the 2007 Plan, and related award agreement.

By signing below, you acknowledge that you have apprised comScore of any and all contractual obligations that you may have that would prevent you from working at comScore, or limit your activities with comScore, including but not limited to any non-competition obligations to past employers.
The terms described in this letter will be the terms of your employment and supersede any other agreements or promises made to you by anyone from comScore regarding these terms, including any offer letter you may have entered into as Chief Financial Officer, except that your previous awards of stock options and restricted will continue to be governed by their terms, as they may have been amended by the amendments you are entering concurrently with this offer letter. This letter can only be modified by a written agreement signed by you and an authorized official of comScore.
Please return a signed copy of this letter to me as soon as possible.
We are very excited about your continuing role with comScore. We hope that you will continue to help us in making comScore all it can be, to the lasting credit and economic benefit of us all.
