or options to purchase securities of the Company (other than this Warrant) plus
any shares of Common Stock which may be issuable at such time upon the
conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities convertible or
exchangeable, in whole or part, into shares of Common Stock.
Upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder hereof shall receive, in addition
to the number of shares of Common Stock which it is entitled to receive
hereunder, such additional number of shares of capital stock or other securities
or property (other than cash) distributed by the Company from time to time after
the Grant Date of this Warrant with respect to the Common Stock which the holder
of this Warrant would have received had the holder exercised the Warrant
immediately prior to distribution or issuance of any such shares, securities or
property by the Company with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock
received upon exercise of this Warrant.
2.4 CERTIFICATES. Within a reasonable time but no more than fifteen
(15) days after exercise, certificates for such Warrant Shares shall be
delivered to the Holder.
2.5 SECURITIES ACT COMPLIANCE. Unless the issuance or transfer of the
Warrant Shares shall have been registered under the Securities Act, as a
condition of its delivery of the certificates for the Warrant Shares, the
Company may require the Holder (including any transferee of the Warrant Shares
in whose name the Warrant Shares are to be registered) to deliver to the
Company, in writing, representations regarding the purchaser's sophistication,
investment intent, acquisition for its own account and such other matters as are
reasonable and customary for purchasers of securities in an unregistered private
offering, and the Company may place conspicuously upon each certificate
representing the Warrant Shares a legend substantially in the following form,
the terms of which are agreed to by the Holder (including such transferee):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN
ISSUED WITHOUT REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"),
AND THE BLUE SKY LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION. SUCH
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, BENEFICIALLY OR ON THE RECORDS OF
THE COMPANY, UNLESS THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS OR THERE
HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.
The Company need not register a transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Share
unless the conditions specified in such legend and in Section 8 are satisfied.
Page 4 - WARRANT CERTIFICATE
Section 3. VALIDITY AND RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company
covenants that this Warrant and any Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully
paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. The Company agrees that so
long as this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will have authorized and
reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of
Warrant Shares to provide for exercise in full.
Section 4. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Warrant Share shall be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a Warrant
Share otherwise issuable upon any such exercise, the Company shall pay to the
Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise
Price.
Section 5. LIMITED RIGHTS OF THE WARRANT HOLDER. The Holder shall not,
solely by virtue of being the Holder of this Warrant, have any of the rights of
a holder of Common Stock of the Company, either at law or equity, until such
Warrant shall have been exercised and the Holder shall have been issued
certificates representing the Warrant Shares and the Holder shall be deemed to
be the holder of record of Warrant Shares as provided in this Warrant, at which
time the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or
certificates for Warrant Shares being purchased are to be issued shall be deemed
the holder or holders of record of such shares for all purposes.
Section 6. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CERTAIN EVENTS.
(a) If this Warrant shall be exercised subsequent to any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares of the Company, or
other similar event, occurring after the date hereof, then the Holder
exercising this Warrant shall receive upon the exercise of this Warrant and
payment of no additional consideration other than the Aggregate Exercise
Price, the aggregate number and class of shares which such Holder would
have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, or
other similar event. If any adjustment under this Section 6(a), would
create a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a
fractional share subject to this Warrant shall be the next higher number of
shares, rounding all fractions upward. Whenever there shall be an
adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(a), the Company shall forthwith
notify the Holder or Holders of this Warrant of such adjustment, setting
forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the
method by which such adjustment was calculated.
(b) If this Warrant shall be exercised subsequent to any merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, separation, reorganization, sale of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets, liquidation of the Company,
or other similar event, occurring after the Grant Date, as a result of
which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different
number of shares of the same or another class or classes of securities of
the Company or another entity or are otherwise entitled to receive shares
of stock or other securities or property, then the Holder exercising this
Warrant shall receive, upon the exercise of this Warrant and payment of no
additional consideration other than the Aggregate Exercise Price, the
aggregate number and class of shares or other property which such Holder
would have received if this Warrant had
Page 5 - WARRANT CERTIFICATE
been exercised immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, exchange of
shares, separation, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets, or liquidation, or other similar event. If any adjustment
under this Section 6(b) would create a fractional share of Common Stock or
a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional
share shall be disregarded and the number of shares subject to this Warrant
shall be the next higher number of shares, rounding all fractions upward.
Whenever there shall be an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(b), the
Company shall forthwith notify the Holder or Holders of this Warrant of
such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the
adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated. The
above provisions of this Section 6(b) shall apply to successive events
described above.
Section 7. EXCHANGE, TRANSFER OR LOSS OF WARRANT.
7.1 EXCHANGE. This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense to the
Holder and upon surrender hereof to the Company, for Related Warrants of
different denominations entitling the Holder to purchase Related Warrant Shares
equal in total number and identical in type to the Warrant Shares covered by
this Warrant.
7.2 TRANSFER. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, upon surrender
of this Warrant to the Company with the attached Assignment Form duly executed,

cancelled.
7.3 LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt by the
Company of satisfactory evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of this Warrant and either (in the case of loss, theft or destruction)
indemnification or bond in form and substance acceptable to the Company, or (in
the case of mutilation) the surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, the
Company will execute and deliver to the Holder, without charge, a Related
Warrant of like denomination. Any such Related Warrant executed and delivered
shall constitute an additional obligation of the Company, whether or not this
Warrant, reportedly lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, shall be at any time
presented by anyone to the Company for exercise.
Section 8. TRANSFER RESTRICTION.
8.1 GENERAL. Anything contained hereto to the contrary
notwithstanding, this Warrant may not be assigned, transferred (by operation of
law or otherwise), hypothecated or sold (other than to a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Rentrak), except as set forth in Section 8.2. Any such assignment or transfer
shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of
its transfer agent, if any, with the Form of Assignment annexed hereto duly
executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, whereupon the Company

8.2 Securities Law Compliance. Except pursuant to the requirements of
Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the Warrant and Warrant Shares may not be sold,
transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of except as follows:
(a) to a person who, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to
the Company and in the opinion of the Company's counsel, is a person to whom the
Warrant or Warrant Shares may legally be transferred without registration under
the Securities Act and without the delivery of a current prospectus with respect
thereto; or
(b) to any person upon delivery of a prospectus then meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act relating to such securities (as to which a
registration statement under the Securities Act shall then be in effect) and the
offering thereof for such sale or disposition.
The Holder agrees that it will not at any time offer to sell, sell,
transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or, upon receipt of the
Warrant Shares after exercise hereof, any of such Warrant Shares, except
pursuant to either (a) an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or (b) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that
such registration is not required. The Holder acknowledges that, in taking this
unregistered Warrant, or in taking unregistered Warrant Shares upon exercise
hereof, the Holder must continue to bear the economic risk of such investments
for what may be an indefinite period of time. The Holder further agrees hereby
that, prior to any transfer of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares received upon
any exercise hereof (if such Warrant and/or Warrant Shares are not registered
under the Securities Act), it will give written notice to the Company of its
intention to effect such transfer. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will
promptly present it to counsel for the Company and counsel for the Holder and if
the Company receives the opinion of such counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, that the proposed transfer may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state law, the Holder shall
be promptly notified and shall be entitled to effect the transfer of this
Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms specified in the
notice delivered to the Company. The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall be
binding upon all subsequent Holders of this Warrant and upon all subsequent
holders of the certificates for the Common Stock bearing the legend specified in
Section 2.5 hereof.
8.3 Representations of Holder. The Holder represents that it has
acquired this Warrant for investment purposes only, for its own account, and not

as that term is defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act.
