Employment Agreement Amendment No. 2 

This Employment Agreement Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) is made September 12, 2013 between Harris Interactive Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Al Angrisani (the “Executive”). 
 This Amendment amends the Employment
Agreement made between the Company and the Executive effective as of June 7, 2011, as amended by Employment Agreement Amendment No. 1 dated February 29, 2012 (collectively, the “Employment Agreement”). All terms of the
Employment Agreement, except as amended hereby, remain in full force and effect. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement. 

1. Section 2.2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 

2.2 Performance Bonus 

(a) The Executive shall be entitled to a performance bonus (“Performance Bonus”) for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2013,
pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2. 
 (b) The Executive shall be entitled to receive a quarterly Performance Bonus (the
“Quarterly Bonus”) for each quarter during the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2013, as follows: (i) $100,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2013 if the Company generates during such quarter an amount of cash from
operations, less amounts paid under the Company’s bonus plan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and any other extraordinary and non-recurring items as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Quarterly Cash
Generation”) equivalent to the amount of the Company’s quarterly principal bank payment due previously under its credit agreement (the “Minimum Quarterly Cash Generation”), as evidenced by the Company’s publicly reported
financial statements, (ii) $100,000 for the quarter ending December 31, 2013 if the Quarterly Cash Generation is equivalent to the Minimum Quarterly Cash Generation, as evidenced by the Company’s publicly reported financial
statements, (iii) $100,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2014 if the Quarterly Cash Generation is equivalent to the Minimum Quarterly Cash Generation, as evidenced by the Company’s publicly reported financial statements, and
(iv) $100,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2014 if the Quarterly Cash Generation is equivalent to the Minimum Quarterly Cash Generation, as evidenced by the Company’s publicly reported financial statements; provided, however, the
Quarterly Bonus for a quarter shall increase, on a pro-rata basis, up to a maximum of $150,000 at 200% of the Minimum Quarterly Cash Generation. Each earned Quarterly Bonus shall be paid to the Executive following completion of the Company’s
internal financial close process for the applicable quarter.

 (c) The Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual Performance Bonus in the amount of
$200,000 (the “Annual Bonus”) upon achievement of budgeted adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted to remove the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other charges) for the fiscal year ending June 30,
2014, as approved by the Board (“Budgeted EBITDA), subject to a cutback for attainment above 95% of Budgeted EBITDA and adjustment for any extraordinary and non-recurring items as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The
Annual Bonus shall be paid to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s practice for the payment of annual performance bonuses to its senior executives generally. 

(d) If the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause (as hereinafter defined) or the Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason (as hereinafter defined) prior to June 30, 2014, then the Executive shall be entitled to a pro-rata portion of the Performance Bonus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 based on the level of attainment of the applicable
operating performance goals at the time of termination, payable within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such termination; provided, however, if there is a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) prior to June 30, 2014, then
the Executive shall be entitled to (i) a Quarterly Bonus in the amount of $100,000 for each quarter ending subsequent to the Change in Control, payable on the last business day of each applicable quarter, and (ii) the Annual Bonus, payable
on June 30, 2014, if the Executive’s date of termination has not occurred prior to such date; provided, further, if the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason prior
to the payment of the amounts provided for in clauses (i) and (ii) immediately above, then such amounts shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such termination. 

2. The second and third sentences of Section 3.6(a) of the Employment Agreement, which were added under the February 29, 2012 amendment,
are hereby clarified in part and amended in part to read in their entirety as follows: 
 In the event of a Change in Control on or prior to
June 30, 2014, then the Executive may within the thirty (30) days following the Change in Control terminate his employment by giving the Company (or the successor in interest) ninety (90) days advance written notice. In such event,
or, if during such period the Company (or the successor in interest) terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, Section 3.5(a) shall have no further force or effect and, subject to Section 3.10, the Executive shall be
entitled to a payment of $1,000,000 in a lump sum within thirty (30) days following the date of termination. 
 3. Section 5.1 of
the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 
 5.1 Arbitration; Prevailing Party. Subject to the
right of the Company to enforce the provisions of Section 4 hereof through proceedings brought in a court of competent jurisdiction as contemplated by Section 5.7 hereof, any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in New York County, New York, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in
any court having jurisdiction. The parties consent to the authority of the arbitrator, if the arbitrator so determines, to award fees and expenses (including legal fees) to the prevailing party in the arbitration, subject to the limitations
contained in this Section 5.1. Should either party breach the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party who seeks to enforce the terms and conditions of this 

  
 2 

 Agreement shall be entitled to recover its attorneys fee and disbursements; provided, however, that no award for
legal fees or other fees and expenses shall be made against the Executive unless the arbitrator or court, as applicable, finds that the Executive’s position was frivolous or taken in bad faith. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment has been executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

 Exhibit 10.4.57 

Employment Agreement Amendment No. 1 

This Employment Agreement Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) is made September 12, 2013 between Harris Interactive Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Michael de Vere (“Executive”). 
 This Amendment amends the Employment
Agreement made between the Company and Executive effective as of March 27, 2012 (the “Employment Agreement”). All terms of the Employment Agreement, except as amended hereby, remain in full force and effect. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement. 
 1. Section 3.2 of the Employment
Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 
 3.2 Performance Bonus. As additional cash compensation for the
services rendered by Executive to Company, Executive shall be eligible to receive a target annual performance bonus as part of the Corporate Bonus Plan (“Performance Bonus”) of 60% of Base Compensation (the “Target Performance
Bonus”), payable in full at the same time as payment of other executive bonuses by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Corporate Bonus Plan. The Performance Bonus award criteria and amount shall be those established on an annual
basis by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In the event of a Change in Control, for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs, Executive shall receive, as a minimum guaranteed bonus, a prorated Target Performance Bonus for the
partial-year period prior to the Change in Control, based on achievement of the financial metric(s) as then in effect for calculation of Executive’s Performance Bonus for the fiscal year (for example, net earnings, revenues, or other metrics as
applicable, but not including individual management objectives), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in the fiscal year prior to the Change in Control and the denominator of which is 365, payable in full on
the last day of the fiscal year if the Termination Date has not occurred prior to such date; provided, however, if the financial metric(s) as then in effect for calculation of Executive’s Performance Bonus are achieved through the end of the
quarter in the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs, as budgeted on a quarterly basis but calculated on a cumulative basis, Executive shall receive the Target Performance Bonus as a guaranteed bonus, payable in full on the last day of
the fiscal year if the Termination Date has not occurred prior to such date. 
 2. Section 4.1(d) of the Employment Agreement is hereby
amended to read in its entirety as follows: 
 (d) “Partial Period Performance Bonus Obligations” shall mean, for the
fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, a prorated Target Performance Bonus for the partial-year period ending on the Termination Date, based on achievement of the financial metric(s) as then in effect for calculation of Executive’s
Performance Bonus for the fiscal year (for example, net earnings, revenues, or other metrics as applicable, but not including individual management 

  
 1 

 objectives), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in the fiscal year
prior to the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365; provided, however, if (i) there is a Change in Control and (ii) the financial metric(s) as then in effect for calculation of Executive’s Performance Bonus are achieved
through the end of the quarter in the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs, as budgeted on a quarterly basis but calculated on a cumulative basis, then “Partial Period Performance Bonus Obligations” shall mean, for the
fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, the Target Performance Bonus if the Termination Date occurs within the same fiscal year as the Change in Control. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment has been executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
