      Each non-employee director of Forrester Research, Inc. receives an annual
retainer of $10,000, payable quarterly in arrears, and members of the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors receive $1,500 for each meeting they attend,
with the Chairman of the Audit Committee receiving an additional $5,000 per

exercise price equal to the fair market value on that date. These options vest
in four equal annual installments on the first, second, third and fourth
anniversary of the grant date. Each newly elected, non-employee director
receives an option to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
equal to the fair market value on the date he or she is first elected as a
director. These options also vest in four equal annual installments, with the
first installment vested on the date of grant.
