ITEM 1.01   ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

Renewed Line of Credit

            On January 3, 2005, Rentrak  Corporation (the "Company") renewed its
secured  revolving  line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank,  National  Association
(the "Line of Credit").  The Line of Credit was to expire September 1, 2004, but
was extended,  pursuant to its terms,  through  January 3, 2005,  and renewed at
that time with a maturity date of December 1, 2005.


            The Line of Credit was increased from $2,000,000 to $6,000,000.  The
renewed  Line of Credit  continues  to be  secured by  substantially  all of the
Company's assets,  and interest on the Line of Credit continues to be calculated
at the Company's  choice of the bank's prime  interest rate minus 0.5 percent or
LIBOR plus 2 percent.  The terms of the renewed Line of Credit  include  certain
financial covenants requiring:  (1) consolidated pre-tax income of not less than
$1.00 for each fiscal  quarter  beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2005,
and  consolidated  after-tax  income of not less than $1.00 on an annual  basis,
determined at fiscal year end; (2) a minimum current ratio of 1.5:1.0,  measured
quarterly;  and (3) a  maximum  debt-to-tangible  net  worth  ratio of  1.5:1.0,
measured quarterly.

            On February 9, 2005,  the Company  granted  Paul A.  Rosenbaum,  the
Company's  Chairman,  President,  and Chief Executive Officer, an employee stock
option to purchase  75,000 shares of the  Company's  common stock at an exercise
