RECITALS

A. Corporation wishes to afford Employee the opportunity to purchase Shares of its $.001 par value Common Stock (the “Common Stock”).

B. Corporation has adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan of Rentrak Corporation (the “Plan”).

C. The Committee appointed to administer the Plan has determined that it would be to the advantage and best interest of Corporation and its shareholders to grant the Non-Qualified Stock Option Award (the “Option”) provided for in this Agreement to Employee as an inducement to accept employment as Chief Executive Officer of Corporation and as an incentive to provide high quality services during such employment.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. GRANT OF OPTION

1.1 Grant of Option. In consideration of Employee’s agreement to become an employee of Corporation or its Subsidiaries and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the date of this Agreement, Corporation irrevocably grants to Employee an Option to purchase any part or all of an aggregate of 200,000 Shares of Common Stock upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Shares covered by the Option is $14.50 per Share, without commission or other charge, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

1.3 Consideration to Corporation. In consideration of the granting of this Option by Corporation, Employee agrees to render faithful and efficient services to Corporation or any Subsidiary, with such duties and responsibilities as set forth in Employee’s employment agreement with Corporation. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan confers upon Employee any right to continue in the employ of Corporation or any Subsidiary or will interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Corporation and its Subsidiaries, which are expressly reserved, to discharge Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except as provided in Employee’s employment agreement with Corporation.

1.4 Cause and Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” and “Good Reason” for termination of employment have the meanings set forth in Employee’s employment agreement.

1.5 Adjustments in Option. The Option is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

2. PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

2.1 Commencement of Exercisability.

(a) Unless the Option is otherwise terminated or the time of its exercisability is accelerated in accordance with this Agreement, the Option may be exercised from time to time beginning on the dates indicated to purchase Shares up to the following limits (including any Shares previously purchased pursuant to the Option):

1

(i) Beginning April 1, 2010 – 50,000 Shares;

(ii) Beginning April 1, 2011 – an additional 50,000 Shares;

(iii) Beginning April 1, 2012 – an additional 50,000 Shares; and

(iv) Beginning April 1, 2013 – 100 percent of the Shares.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), if Employee’s employment is terminated by Corporation without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason, the Option will become exercisable, to the extent it is not then exercisable, as to the installment scheduled to become exercisable in the calendar year in which termination of Employee’s employment occurs and the installment scheduled to become exercisable in the following calendar year. Acceleration of vesting under this Section 2.1(b) is conditioned upon execution of the release described in Section 6.2 of the Employee’s employment agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), the Option will become fully and immediately exercisable if an event occurs on or after six months following the Grant Date that constitutes a Change in Control of Corporation before the Option expires pursuant to Section 2.3. If the Change in Control occurs before six months has elapsed following the Grant Date, the Option will become fully and immediately exercisable as to an aggregate of 100,000 Shares, and the Option shall terminate and be unexercisable as to the remaining 100,000 Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” is defined as the first occurrence of any of the following:

(i) Any person (including any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust, group, association, or other “person,” as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of Corporation, is or becomes a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Corporation representing more than 50 percent of the combined voting power of Corporation’s then outstanding securities;

(ii) A majority of the directors elected at any annual or special meeting of shareholders are not individuals nominated by Corporation’s then incumbent Board; or

(iii) The shareholders of Corporation approve (i) a merger or consolidation of Corporation with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities (defined as all issued and outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at elections of Corporation’s directors) of Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such transaction continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Voting Securities of Corporation or of such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) a plan of complete liquidation of Corporation, or (iii) an agreement for the sale or disposition by Corporation of all or substantially all of its assets.

(d) No portion of the Option which is unexercisable upon termination of Employee’s employment with Corporation or any Subsidiary will subsequently become exercisable.

2.2 Duration of Exercisability. Once the Option becomes exercisable pursuant to Section 2.1, it will remain exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3.

2.3 Expiration of Option. To the extent the Option had previously become exercisable, the Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

(a) June 15, 2019;

2

(b) Immediately upon termination of Employee’s employment with Corporation or any Subsidiary for Cause;

(c) One year following Employee’s death or disability;

(d) Six months following termination of employment for any reason other than Cause, death, or disability; or

(e) On the date specified in Section 2.4(b) in connection with a Terminating Event (as that term is defined in Section 2.4(b)).

2.4 Adjustments to and/or Cancellation of the Option

(a) Neither (i) the issuance of additional shares of stock of Corporation in exchange for adequate consideration (including services), nor (ii) the conversion of outstanding preferred shares of Corporation into Common Stock, will be deemed to require an adjustment in the Shares covered by the Option or in the purchase price of Shares subject to the Option pursuant to Section 13 of the Plan. In the event the Committee determines that an event has occurred affecting Corporation such that an adjustment to the Option under Section 13 of the Plan should be made but that it is not practical or feasible to make such an adjustment, such event will be deemed a Terminating Event subject to the following subsection.

(b) Subject to Section 13 of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control or the occurrence of an event in accordance with the last sentence of the previous subsection (any of such events is herein referred to as a “Terminating Event”), the Committee will determine whether a provision will be made in connection with the Terminating Event for an appropriate assumption of the Option by, or substitution of appropriate new options covering stock of, a successor corporation employing Employee or stock of an affiliate of such successor employer corporation. If the Committee determines that such an appropriate assumption or substitution will be made, the Committee will give notice of the determination to Employee and the terms of such assumption or substitution, and any adjustments made (i) to the number and kind of shares subject to the Option outstanding under the Plan (or to options issued in substitution therefor), (ii) to the Option purchase price, and (iii) to the terms and conditions of the Option, will be binding upon Employee. If the Committee determines that no assumption or substitution will be made, the Committee will give notice of this determination to Employee, whereupon Employee will have the right for a period of 30 days following the notice to exercise in full or in part the unexercised and unexpired portion of this Option, which will become exercisable as specified in Section 2.1(c) above. Upon the expiration of this 30-day period, the Option will expire to the extent not earlier exercised.

(c) The Committee will exercise its discretion in connection with the determinations under this Section 2.4 in good faith and in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner with respect to all participants under the Plan.
