GARTNER, INC.        GRANTEE

APPENDIX A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
1.Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee under the Plan at the per
share price of $0.0005, equal to the par value of a Share, the number of
Restricted Stock Units indicated in the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the
terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan.
2.    Payment of Purchase Price. When the Restricted Stock Units are paid out to
the Grantee, the purchase price will be deemed paid by the Grantee for each
Restricted Stock Unit through the past services rendered by the Grantee, and
will be subject to the appropriate tax withholdings.
3.    Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit has a value equal
to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Unless and until the
Restricted Stock Units have vested in the manner set forth in paragraphs 4 or 5,
the Grantee will have no right to payment of such Restricted Stock Units. Prior
to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock
Units will represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company.
Payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units will be made in Shares. In no event
will the Grantee be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable
year of the payment of any Restricted Stock Units payable under this Agreement.
4.    Vesting Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement are scheduled to vest in
accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant.
Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on any such date actually will vest
only if the Grantee remains in Continued Service through such date; provided,
however, that in the event of death, the number of Restricted Stock Units
eligible to vest will be pro-rated to the date of death, and will release on
such date, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
5.    Committee Discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the
vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted
Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated,
such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date
specified by the Committee. If the Committee, in its discretion, accelerates the
vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted
Stock Units and the Restricted Stock Units are “deferred compensation” within
the meaning of Section 409A, the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock
Units nevertheless shall be made at the same time or times as if such Restricted
Stock Units had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the
Notice of Grant (whether or not the Grantee remains in Continued Service through
such date(s)). The immediately preceding sentence may be superseded in a future
agreement or amendment to this Agreement only by direct and specific reference
to the sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Restricted Stock Units
that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A are
accelerated in connection with the Grantee’s termination of Continued Service
(other than due to death), the Restricted Stock Units that vest on account of
the Grantee’s termination of Continued Service will not be considered due or
payable until the Grantee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Section 409A. In addition, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” within the
meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Grantee’s separation from service,
then any such accelerated Restricted Stock Units otherwise payable within the
six (6) month period following the Grantee’s separation from service instead
will be paid on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the
date of the Grantee’s separation from service, unless the Grantee dies following
his or her separation from service, in which case, the accelerated Restricted
Stock Units will be paid to the Grantee’s estate as soon as practicable
following his or her death, subject to paragraph 9. Thereafter, such Restricted
Stock Units shall continue to be paid in accordance with the vesting schedule
set forth on the first page of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Section 409A” means Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and any final Treasury Regulations and other Internal Revenue Service
guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.
6.    Payment after Vesting. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance
with paragraph 4 or paragraph 5 will be paid to the Grantee (or in the event of
the Grantee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares as soon as practicable
following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no event later
than the applicable two and one-half (2-½) month period of the “short-term
deferral” rule set forth in the Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury
Regulations issued under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Restricted Stock Units are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of
Section 409A, the vested Restricted Stock Units will be released to the Grantee
(or in the event of the Grantee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares as soon
as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no
event later than the end of the calendar year that includes the date of vesting
or, if later, the fifteen (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following
the date of vesting (provided that the Grantee will not be permitted, directly
or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment). Further, if some
or all of the Restricted Stock Units that are “deferred compensation” within the
meaning of Section 409A vest on account of the Grantee’s termination of
Continued Service (other than due to death) in accordance with paragraph 4, the
Restricted Stock Units that vest on account of the Grantee’s termination of
Continued Service will not be considered due or payable until the Grantee has a
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if
the Grantee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the
time of the Grantee’s separation from service (other than due to death), then
any accelerated Restricted Stock Units will be paid to the Grantee no earlier
than six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Grantee’s
separation from service unless the Grantee dies following his or her separation
from service, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid to the
Grantee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to
paragraph 9. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with paragraph 5
will be paid to the Grantee (or in the event of the Grantee’s death, to his or
her estate) in Shares in accordance with the provision of such paragraph,
subject to paragraph 9.
7.    Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested pursuant to
paragraphs 4 or 5 at the time the Grantee ceases to be in Continued Service will
be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at
no cost to the Company. The Grantee shall not be entitled to a refund of any of
the price paid for the Restricted Stock Units forfeited to the Company pursuant
to this paragraph 7.
8.    Death of Grantee. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Grantee
under this Agreement will, if the Grantee is then deceased, be made to the
administrator or executor of the Grantee’s estate (or such other person to whom
the Restricted Stock Units are transferred pursuant to the Grantee’s will or in
accordance with the laws of descent and distribution). Any such transferee must
furnish the Company (a) written notice of his or her status as a transferee,
(b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the
transfer of these Restricted Stock Units and compliance with any laws or
regulations pertaining to such transfer, and (c) written acceptance of the terms
and conditions of this Restricted Stock Unit grant as set forth in this
Agreement.
9.    Withholding of Taxes. When the Shares are issued as payment for vested
Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee will recognize immediate U.S. taxable income
if the Grantee is a U.S. taxpayer. If the Grantee is a non-U.S. taxpayer, the
Grantee may be subject to applicable taxes in his or her jurisdiction. All
income and other taxes related to the Restricted Stock Unit award and any Shares
delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Grantee. In no
event will the Company reimburse the Grantee for any taxes that may be imposed
on the Grantee as result of Section 409A.
10.    Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Grantee nor any person claiming under
or through the Grantee shall have any of the rights or privileges of a
stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless
and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry
form) shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its
transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Grantee (including through
electronic delivery to a brokerage account). Notwithstanding any other part of
this Agreement, any quarterly or other regular, periodic dividends or
distributions (as determined by the Company) paid on Shares will accrue with
respect to (i) unvested Restricted Stock Units, and (ii) Restricted Stock Units
that are vested but unpaid pursuant to paragraph 5, and in each case will be
subject to the same forfeiture provisions (if any), and be paid out at the same
time or time(s), as the underlying Restricted Stock Units on which such
dividends or other distributions have accrued. After such issuance, recordation
and delivery, the Grantee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the
Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and
distributions on such Shares.
11.    No Effect on Service. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer
upon the Grantee any right to continuation of service as a director of the
Company or any right to nomination as a director of the Company or shall
interfere with or restrict in any way the rights the Grantee or the Company may
have to terminate his or her directorship at any time, which rights are hereby
expressly reserved.
12.    Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the
terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company, in care of its
Secretary at the Company’s headquarters, P.O. Box 10212, 56 Top Gallant Road,
Stamford, CT 06902-7700, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter
designate in writing.
13.    Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in
Paragraph 8 above, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby
shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether
by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under
execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or of any right or
privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution,
attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges
conferred hereby immediately shall become null and void. Notwithstanding the
preceding, the Grantee may transfer (not for consideration and for bona fide
estate planning purposes) the Restricted Stock Units awarded under this
Agreement to a revocable estate planning trust that is established solely for
the benefit of Grantee and his or her immediate family. Any such transfer will
be permitted only if it is in compliance with such rules and procedures as the
Company may establish from time to time. Among other things, Grantee must
acknowledge and agree that (a) for U.S. income tax purposes, all taxable income
from the Restricted Stock Units will be reported to Grantee alone, (b) if
Grantee proposes to change the nature or character of the transferee trust,
Grantee first must inform the Company and the Company may require that the
Restricted Stock Units be transferred back to Grantee alone, and (c) no
additional other or further transfers of the Restricted Stock Units will be
permitted under any circumstance.
14.    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under
the Award Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Award Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. The
rights and obligations of the Grantee under this Award Agreement may be assigned
only with the prior written consent of the Company.
15.    Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued as payment for
vested Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement will be registered
under the federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt.
However, the Grantee’s subsequent sale of the Shares will be subject to any
market blackout-period that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with
the Company’s insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities
laws.
16.    Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of
this grant contained herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and
assigns of the parties hereto.
17.    Conditions for Issuance of Stock. The shares of stock deliverable to the
Grantee may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares
which have been reacquired by the Company. The Company shall not be required to
transfer on its books or list in street name with a brokerage company or
otherwise issue any certificate or certificates for Shares hereunder prior to
fulfillment of all the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to
listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; and
(b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares
under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body,
which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or
advisable; and (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any
state or federal governmental agency, which the Committee shall, in its absolute

actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee
shall be final and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other persons,
and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. No member of the
Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or
interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.
