SECTION 7. ELECTIONS TO RECEIVE COMMON STOCK OR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

below, may elect to receive, in lieu of a cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson
Fee, Lead Director Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible
Director), a number of shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be
paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid
all in Common Stock)), which is calculated by dividing his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson
Fee, Lead Director Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof), by the Fair Market Value
of one share of Common Stock on the Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as
applicable. To be effective, any such election shall be made by submitting a completed and
executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the relevant Accounting Date
or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable.

     (ii) Restricted Stock Units.

     (A) Each Eligible Director who is not covered by clause (iii) below, may elect
to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Lead
Director Fee and/or Meeting Fees, Restricted Stock Units (including fractional
Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson
Fee, Lead Director Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the
Eligible Director) for services to be performed in the following the calendar year
by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Accounting Date or
Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable. To be effective, any such election relating
to the Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Lead Director Fee or Meeting Fees shall be made
by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company
prior to the calendar year in which the Eligible Director wishes the election to be
in effect and such election shall be irrevocable for such calendar year.

     (B) Each Eligible Director who is not covered by clause (iii) below may elect
to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Meeting Fees (or a portion
thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director), Restricted Stock Units (including
fractional Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Meeting Fees
(or portion thereof) by the Fair Market Value of one share of

5

 

Common Stock on the Quarterly Payment Date. To be effective, any such election
relating to the Meeting Fees shall be made by submitting a completed and executed
Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the calendar year in which
the Eligible Director wishes the election to be in effect and such election shall be
irrevocable for such calendar year.

     (iii) New Directors. Each Eligible Director who joins the Board between annual
meetings of stockholders may elect prior to first becoming an Eligible Director to receive, in lieu
of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee and/or Lead Director Fee, a number of
shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over
to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)) and/or
Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) up to the number which is
calculated by (A) multiplying the sum of his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Lead Director Fee
(or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director) payable with respect to the time prior
to the next annual meeting of stockholders which the Eligible Director is first elected to the
Board by the Proration Fraction and (B) dividing the product resulting from clause (A) by the Fair
Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date that the Eligible Director becomes an
Eligible Director. Each Eligible Director may also elect to receive, in lieu of cash payment for
his or her Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director), Common Stock
(excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if
an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)) Restricted Stock Units (including
fractional Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Meeting Fees (or portion
thereof) by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Quarterly Payment Date. To
be effective, any such election shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form
to the Secretary of the Company prior to the date that the Eligible Director becomes an Director,
and such Election Form shall be irrevocable for that calendar year with respect to any election (or
lack of election) to receive Restricted Stock Units.

     (b) Restricted Stock Units.

     (i) Account. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock Units to an Eligible Director,
such units shall be credited to an account established for such Eligible Director. Each
Eligible Director shall receive an annual statement showing the number of Restricted Stock
Units that have been credited to the Eligible Director’s account under the Program.

     (ii) Dividend Equivalent Credits. An Eligible Director’s account shall be
credited with Dividend Equivalent Credits equivalent to the amount of dividends paid by the
Company to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock based on the number of Restricted
Stock Units credited to the Eligible Director’s account on the dividend record date for
            shares of Common Stock. Such Dividend Equivalent Credit shall be converted into an
equivalent number of Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units)
based on the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the related dividend payment
date and such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same distribution timing as the
underlying Restricted Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalent Credits related. If a
dividend is paid in cash, each Eligible Director shall be credited, as of each applicable
dividend payment date, in accordance with the following formula:

6

 

(A X B) / C

          in which “A” equals the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director
on the dividend record date, “B” equals the cash dividend per share and “C” equals the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the dividend payment date. If a dividend is paid
in property other than cash, Dividend Equivalent Credits shall be credited, as of the
applicable dividend payment date, in accordance with the formula set forth above, except
that “B” shall equal the fair market value per share of the property that the Eligible
Director would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director as of the dividend record
date, had such shares been owned by the Eligible Director as of the record date for such
dividend.

     (iii) Time of Payment. All payments in respect of an Eligible Director’s
Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as practicable following the earlier of (A) the
Eligible Director’s death (B) the occurrence of a Change in Control, and (C) the specific
date the Eligible Director has elected to receive payment pursuant to the applicable
Election Form pursuant to which such Eligible Director elected to receive such Restricted
Stock Units in lieu of cash.

     (iv) Form of Payment. Payment in respect of Restricted Stock Units shall be
made in one lump sum payment in the form of shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, any payment made upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in full or
partial payment of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in cash in an amount equal the
Change in Control Price multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units (including
fractional units).

     (c) Stock Plan.

     All shares of Common Stock and all Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Section 7
shall be awarded under, and in accordance with, the terms of the Stock Plan. Restricted Stock
Units awarded hereunder shall be considered Other Stock-Based Awards under the Plan.

SECTION 8. CHANGE IN CONTROL

     (a) For purposes of this Section 8, the following words and phrases have the meanings
indicated below, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

     (i) “Person” shall have the meaning associated with that term as it is used in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Act.

12b-2 promulgated under Section 12 of the Act.

     (iii) “Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

7

 

     (iv) “Continuing Directors” means directors whose appointment or election is endorsed
by a majority of the members of the Company’s Board prior to the date of the appointment or
election of such member.

     (b) For purposes of the Program, a Change in Control of the Company shall be deemed to have
occurred if:

     (i) any Person (together with its Affiliates and Associates), other than a trustee or
other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, acquires
(or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such Person (together with its Affiliates and Associates) or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing thirty-five percent (35%)
or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

     (ii) the Continuing Directors of the Company’s Board shall at any time fail to
constitute a majority of the members of such Board.

SECTION 9. AMENDMENT; TERMINATION

          The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the
Program in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment which requires stockholder
approval in order for the exemptions available under Rule 16b-3 to be applicable to the Program and
the Eligible Directors shall be effective unless the same shall be approved by the stockholders of
the Company entitled to vote thereon.

SECTION 10. RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE DIRECTORS

          Nothing contained in the Program or with respect to any grant shall interfere with or limit in
any way the right of the stockholders of the Company to remove any Eligible Director from the Board
pursuant to the bylaws of the Company, nor confer upon any Eligible Director any right to continue
in the service of the Company as a director.

SECTION 11. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS

     (a) Investment Representations. The Company may require any Eligible Director to whom
Common Stock is issued, as a condition of receiving such Common Stock, to give written assurances
in substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that such person is
acquiring the Common Stock for his or her own account for investment and not with any present
intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the Company
deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with federal and applicable state securities
laws.

     (b) Compliance with Securities Laws. Each issuance shall be subject to the
requirement that, if at any time counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing,
registration or qualification of the shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or
federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as a
condition of, or in

8

 

connection with, the issuance of shares thereunder, such issuance may not be accepted or
exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval
shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Committee. Nothing herein
shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or
qualification.

     (c) Nontransferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Restricted
Stock Units under this Program shall not be transferable by an Eligible Director other than by the
laws of descent and distribution.

     (d) No Acceleration of Distribution of Restricted Stock Units. The distribution of
Restricted Stock Units may not be accelerated, including upon termination of the Program, if such
acceleration would cause the distribution to become subject to tax under Code Section 409A.

SECTION 12. WITHHOLDING

          The Company may defer making payments or delivering shares of Common Stock under the Program
until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of any federal, state or local
income or employment taxes required which the Company reasonably determines in its sole discretion
are to be withheld with respect to such payment or delivery.

SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW

          The Program and all rights hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 14. UNFUNDED PROGRAM

          The Program shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a
separate fund or funds. The Program shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the
Company and any Eligible Director or other person. To the extent any person holds any rights by
virtue of a grant under the Program, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured
general creditor of the Company.

SECTION 15. HEADINGS

The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference
and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Program.

                               OPTION CERTIFICATE
                     INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION (NON-ASSIGNABLE)

                                                      FOR [INSERT NUMBER] SHARES

              TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF FORRESTER RESEARCH, INC.

    ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 1996 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN OF
                        FORRESTER RESEARCH, INC. ("PLAN")

      THIS CERTIFIES that on [insert date] ("Issuance Date") First Last (the
"Holder") was granted an option (the "Option") to purchase at the option price
$[insert amount] per share all or any part of [insert amount] fully paid and
non-assessable shares ("Shares") of Common Stock (par value of $.01 per share)
of Forrester Research, Inc. (the "Company") upon and subject to the following
terms and conditions:

      1. Nature of Option. The Option is intended to constitute an "incentive
stock option" within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Code") to the maximum extent permitted under the Code. Any portion of
this Option that does not constitute an "incentive stock option" shall
constitute a non-qualified option. The right and option to purchase shares
hereby granted shall be exercisable as provided in Paragraph 3 hereof, in
accordance with the determination made by the Compensation and Nominating
Committee (the "Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors administering
the Plan.

      2. Expiration. This Option shall expire on [insert date] ("Expiration
Date").

      3. Vesting and Exercise. This Option may be exercised or surrendered
during the Holder's lifetime only by the Holder. This Option shall not be
transferable by the Holder otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.

      Except as provided below in this Paragraph 3, this Option will not vest
and may not be exercised unless the following conditions have been met. [Note:
This paragraph will generally provide that the Option will become exercisable on
certain specified dates determined by the Committee. As determined by the
Committee, specified Options may become exercisable upon the achievement of
specific performance goals, which may relate to Company performance, individual
performance or both, and may have multiple vesting dates, goals and portions of
Shares that are subject to such vesting.] Except as otherwise permitted herein,
if the Holder's employment is terminated prior to the full vesting of the
Option, all rights with respect to any unvested portion shall be forfeited.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Option shall vest and become
exercisable in whole upon the 20th day prior to the date upon which there is
scheduled to occur a consolidation or merger in which the Company is not the
surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of substantially all
of the Company's outstanding Common Stock by a single person or entity or by a
group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or the sale or transfer of
substantially all the Company's assets.

      This Option shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice duly
signed by the Holder, together with this Option certificate, and the full
purchase price of the Shares purchased

                                                                          page 1
<PAGE>

pursuant to the exercise of this Option, to the Committee or an officer of the
Company appointed by the Committee for the purpose of receiving the same. This
Option may not be exercised at any time when such Option, or the exercise or
payment thereof, may result in the violation of any law or governmental order or
regulation.

      Payment for the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Option
shall be made in full at the time of the exercise of the Option (a) by check
payable to the Company, or (b) at such time as the Common Stock is registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by delivery of an unconditional and
irrevocable undertaking by a broker to deliver promptly to the Company
sufficient funds to pay the exercise price.

      4. Delivery of Share Certificates. Within a reasonable time after the
exercise of the Option, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the person
entitled thereto the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the
Option.

      5. Withholding. In the event that the Holder elects to exercise this
Option or any part thereof, and if the Company or its subsidiaries shall be
required to withhold any amount by reason of any federal, state, or local tax
rules or regulations in respect of the issuance of Shares to the Holder pursuant
to the Option, the Company or any such subsidiary shall be entitled to satisfy
such withholding obligations in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 9 of the
Plan. The holder of this Option agrees to notify the Company prior to
undertaking any sale or disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the
exercise of this Option for the one-year period beginning on the date of
exercise.

      6. Termination. Notwithstanding Paragraph 3 above, all or any part of this
Option, to the extent unexercised, shall terminate immediately upon the earliest
to occur of the following:

      (a) [include provision for termination if established goals are not met,
if applicable];

      (b) The expiration date of the Option;

      (c) The expiration of three months from the date of termination of the
Holder's employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than a
termination described in subparagraph (d), (e), or (f) below); provided, that if
the Holder shall die during such three month period, the time of termination of
the unexercised portion of the Option shall be determined under the provisions
of subparagraph (e) below;

      (d) The expiration of three months from the date of termination of the
employment of the Holder due to permanent and total disability within the
meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(other than a termination described in subparagraph (e) below);

      (e) The expiration of one year following the Holder's death if it occurs
while Holder is employed by the Company or its subsidiaries; or

      (f) The termination of the Holder's employment by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries if such termination constitutes or is attributable to a breach
by the Holder of an employment agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries,
or if the Holder is discharged for cause. The Committee shall have the right to
determine whether the Holder has been discharged

                                                                          page 2
<PAGE>

for breach or for cause and the date of such discharge, and such determination
of the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

      7. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of the Option
such number of Shares as shall be required for issuance or delivery upon
exercise hereof.

      8. Rights of Holder. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer
upon the Holder any right to be continued in the employ of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, or derogate from the right of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to retire, request the resignation of, or discharge the Holder at
any time, with or without cause. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company or its subsidiaries,
either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those
expressed herein and in the Plan and are not enforceable against the Company or
its subsidiaries, except to the extent set forth herein.

      9. Exclusion from Pension Computations. By acceptance of the grant of the
Option, the Holder hereby agrees that any income realized upon the receipt or
exercise hereof, or upon the disposition of the Shares received upon its
exercise, is special incentive compensation and will not be taken into account
as "wages," "salary," or "compensation" in determining the amount of any payment
under any pension, retirement, incentive, profit-sharing, bonus, or deferred
compensation plan of the Company, or its subsidiaries.

      10. Registration; Legend. The Company may postpone the issuance and
delivery of Shares upon any exercise of the Option until (a) the admission of
such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or exchanges on which Shares of the
Company of the same classes are then listed and (b) the completion of such
registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal
law, rule or regulation as the Company shall determine to be necessary or
advisable. The Holder shall make such representations and furnish such
information as, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, may be appropriate to
permit the Company to issue the Shares in compliance with the provisions of the
Act or any comparable act. The Company may cause an appropriate legend to be set
forth on each certificate representing Shares or any other security issued or
issuable upon exercise of the Option unless counsel for the Company is of the
opinion as to any such certificate that a legend is unnecessary.

      11. Amendment. The Committee may, with the consent of the Holder, at any
time or from time to time, amend the terms and conditions of the Option.

      12. Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or
permitted to give to the other shall be in writing, and may be delivered
personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows: to the Company, at
its office at 400 Technology Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, or at such
other address as the Company by notice to the Holder may designate in writing
from time to time; to the Holder, at the address shown below his signature on
this Option certificate, or at such other address as the Holder by notice to the
Company may designate in writing from time to time. Notices shall be effective
upon receipt.

      13. Incorporation of Plan; Interpretation. The Option and this Option
certificate are issued pursuant to and are subject to all of the terms and
conditions of the Plan, the terms, conditions, and definitions of which are
hereby incorporated as though set forth at length, and the receipt of a copy of
which the Holder hereby acknowledges by his signature below. A

<PAGE>

determination of the Committee as to any questions which may arise with respect
to the interpretation of the provisions of this Option and of the Plan shall be
final. The Committee may authorize and establish such rules, regulations, and
revisions thereof not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as it may
deem advisable.

      Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein, defined terms used in
this Option certificate shall have the same meaning as used in the Plan.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this certificate on the date
first above written.
