          Pursuant to Rule 457(h), the proposed maximum aggregate offering price and the
          registration fee have been computed based on the sum of (a) $347,300, which
          represents the aggregate exercise price of presently outstanding options to
          purchase 32,500 shares of common stock, (b)&nbsp;$451,800, which represents the
          aggregate market price of 45,000 shares of common stock subject to grants of
          restricted stock units based on the closing price, $10.04, on The Nasdaq Stock
          Market on June 15, 2006, the date of grant of the restricted stock units, and
          (c) $10,124,438, which represents the fair market value of 922,500 shares of
          common stock as to which additional awards may be granted under the Plan. This
          latter figure was calculated based on the average of the high and low sales
          prices, $10.975, reported for the common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on
          August 3, 2006. </FONT></TD>

is granted with respect to any action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation) against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred
(including attorney fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts
paid in settlement), if the indemnitee&#146;s conduct was in good faith, the indemnitee
reasonably believed that his or her conduct was in the best interests of the registrant,
or at least not opposed to its best interests, and, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. Indemnification is not permitted in connection with a proceeding in which a
person is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received,
unless indemnification is permitted by a court upon a finding that the person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances. </FONT></P>

of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo

the standard of conduct described above. If wholly successful on the merits of a
proceeding, a person is entitled to indemnity as a matter of right. Because the limits of
indemnity under Oregon law are not clearly defined, Article&nbsp;V and Article&nbsp;10 may
provide indemnity broader than that described above. </FONT></P>

proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided that, if required by Oregon law,
the person seeking advances provides to the registrant an undertaking to repay advanced
amounts if it is determined by a final adjudication that the recipient is not entitled to
indemnity. Any person claiming indemnity is explicitly authorized to sue the registrant
for payment and the registrant will have the burden of proving the claimant failed to meet
the standards of conduct making indemnity permissible. If the person claiming indemnity is
successful in whole or in part in such a suit (or in a suit brought by the registrant to
recover an advancement of expenses), the person claiming indemnity shall also be entitled
to be paid the expense of prosecuting (or defending) the suit. </FONT></P>

eliminate or limit the liability of a director for: (i)&nbsp;any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation

Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, this registration
          statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares reserved for
          issuance under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan as a result of any future stock
          split, stock dividend, or similar adjustment of the outstanding Common Stock.
(2)
Pursuant to Rule 457(h), the proposed maximum aggregate offering price and the
          registration fee have been computed based on the sum of (a) $347,300, which
          represents the aggregate exercise price of presently outstanding options to
          purchase 32,500 shares of common stock, (b) $451,800, which represents the
          aggregate market price of 45,000 shares of common stock subject to grants of
          restricted stock units based on the closing price, $10.04, on The Nasdaq Stock
          Market on June 15, 2006, the date of grant of the restricted stock units, and
          (c) $10,124,438, which represents the fair market value of 922,500 shares of
          common stock as to which additional awards may be granted under the Plan. This
          latter figure was calculated based on the average of the high and low sales
          prices, $10.975, reported for the common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on
          August 3, 2006.

Rights are attached to and trade with the common stock of Rentrak Corporation.
          The value attributable to such Rights, if any, is reflected in the market price
          of the common stock.

Item 4.
          Description of Securities.

Item 5.
          Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
ORS 60.367,
a section of the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the "Act"), provides that any
director held liable for an unlawful distribution in violation of ORS 60.367 is
entitled to contribution from (i) every other director who voted for or assented to
the distribution without complying with the applicable statutory standards of conduct and
(ii) each shareholder for the amount the shareholder accepted knowing the
distribution was made in violation of the Act or the corporation's articles of
incorporation.
Article V,
Section 2, of the registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation
("Article V") and Article 10 of the registrant's Restated Bylaws,
as amended ("Article 10"), require the registrant to indemnify officers,
directors and employees to the fullest extent authorized by the Act. The effect of these
provisions is summarized below but the description is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Act, Article V and Article 10.
II - 1
Indemnification
is granted with respect to any action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation) against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred
(including attorney fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts
paid in settlement), if the indemnitee's conduct was in good faith, the indemnitee
reasonably believed that his or her conduct was in the best interests of the registrant,
or at least not opposed to its best interests, and, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. Indemnification is not permitted in connection with a proceeding in which a
person is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received,
unless indemnification is permitted by a court upon a finding that the person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances.
In
addition, indemnification is granted in respect to any proceeding by or in the right of
the registrant against the expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably
incurred if the person acted in good faith and a manner reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the registrant. No right of indemnity is granted if
the person is adjudged liable to the registrant, unless permitted by the court.
Termination
of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the person did not meet
the standard of conduct described above. If wholly successful on the merits of a
proceeding, a person is entitled to indemnity as a matter of right. Because the limits of
indemnity under Oregon law are not clearly defined, Article V and Article 10 may
provide indemnity broader than that described above.
Article V
and Article 10 provide that the right of indemnification is a contract right and
includes the right to be paid by the registrant the expenses incurred in defending a
proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided that, if required by Oregon law,
the person seeking advances provides to the registrant an undertaking to repay advanced
amounts if it is determined by a final adjudication that the recipient is not entitled to
indemnity. Any person claiming indemnity is explicitly authorized to sue the registrant
for payment and the registrant will have the burden of proving the claimant failed to meet
the standards of conduct making indemnity permissible. If the person claiming indemnity is
successful in whole or in part in such a suit (or in a suit brought by the registrant to
recover an advancement of expenses), the person claiming indemnity shall also be entitled
to be paid the expense of prosecuting (or defending) the suit.
Section
1 of Article V provides for the elimination of personal liability of directors to the
registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director to the full
extent permitted by the Act. Under Section 60.047 of the Act, a corporation may not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director for: (i) any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii) any unlawful distribution under Section 60.367 of the Act, or
(iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article V
and Article 10 provide that the registrant may maintain insurance to protect itself
and its directors, officers, employees or agents against any expense, liability or loss
whether or not the registrant has the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under Oregon law. The registrant currently has liability insurance to
indemnify its directors and officers against expense, liability or loss arising from
claims by reason of their acts or omissions as officers and directors.

Registration Claimed.

Item 9.
          Undertakings.
(a)       
          The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)       
      To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
          post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)                      To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
               Act of 1933 ("Securities Act");
(ii)                      To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
               date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment                thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change                in the information set forth in the registration
statement; and
(iii)                      To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
               previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
to                such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2)                 That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,           each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
          statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
          securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
          thereof.
(3)                 To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
          securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
          offering.
(b)       
          The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
          any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's
          annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
          Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
          plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act)
          that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
          to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
          and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
          initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(h)       
          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
          be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant
          pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above or otherwise, the
          registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
          Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
          Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
          indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
          registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or
II - 3
controlling           person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or           proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in           connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will (unless in           the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent)           submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such           indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities           Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The           undertaking of the
registrant in the preceding sentence does not apply to           insurance against
liability arising under the Securities Act.
