The Companies and the Principal Stockholder, jointly and severally,
represent and warrant to Tetra Tech as follows:
3.1 Organization and Good Standing. Each Company is a corporation
------------------------------
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware. Each Company is duly qualified to transact business and is
in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the character of its business
makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to be so qualified
would have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of
the Companies on a combined basis, except that occurrences as a result of the
announcement of the execution of this Agreement or the transactions proposed to
be consummated by this Agreement shall be excluded from consideration for
purposes of the effect of an action or an inaction on the Companies on a
combined basis (a "Xxxxxx Material Adverse Effect"), all of which jurisdictions
are listed on a disclosure schedule which has been delivered to Tetra Tech by
the Companies and the Principal Stockholder prior to execution of this Agreement
(the "Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule"). Each Company has all necessary corporate
power and authority to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and
to own or lease and operate its properties and assets. Complete, current and
correct copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, all as amended to
date, stock ledgers, minute books and all other organizational documents of each
Company have been made available to Tetra Tech prior to the date hereof, and no
changes have been made
8
thereto since the date of Tetra Tech's inspection except to reflect actions
taken by the Companies that had not been documented as of such date and which
are described on the Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule or will be made thereto as of
the Effective Date. Neither Company is in violation of any provision of its
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.
3.2 Investments. Except as set forth on the Xxxxxx Disclosure
-----------
Schedule, neither Company, directly or indirectly, jointly or separately, owns
or controls any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any foreign
or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, business organization,
trust or other entity (a "Subsidiary").
3.3 Capital Structure of the Companies. The authorized capital stock
----------------------------------
of WhalenCo consists of 150,000 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, of
which 100 shares are issued and outstanding, and all of such shares are owned of
record and beneficially by the Stockholders in the proportions set forth on
Exhibit 2.5A. The authorized capital stock of Xxxxxx Service consists of 3,000
------------
shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, of which 100 shares are issued and
outstanding, and all of such shares are owned of record and beneficially by the
Stockholders in the proportions set forth on Exhibit 2.5A. Except for any of
------------
the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement and as set forth on the
Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding options, warrants,
convertible debt or securities, calls, agreements, arrangements, commitments,
understandings or other rights to purchase any of either Company's capital
stock. All shares of Company Common Stock have been issued in transactions
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and neither Company has violated the Securities Act or any
state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the issuance of any such
shares. All of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have been validly
issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.
3.4 Authorizations and Approvals. Each Company has all requisite
----------------------------
corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
each Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each
Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to judicial
discretion regarding specific performance or other equitable remedies, and
except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium
or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and
remedies generally. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by and
approved by all requisite corporate action on the part of each Company and the
Stockholders. Except as set forth in the Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule, no further
approvals or consents by, or filings with, any federal, state, municipal,
foreign or other court or governmental or administrative body, agency or other
third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery by either
Company of this Agreement, or the consummation by either Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except for filing the Certificate
of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State, the filing required under the
HSR Act, and those approvals, consents and filings which, if not made or
obtained, would not have a Xxxxxx Material Adverse Effect or materially
adversely affect the ability of either Company
9
to execute and deliver this Agreement or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.
3.5 No Violations. Except as set forth on the Xxxxxx Disclosure
-------------
Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (a) violate any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of either Company,

adequately reserved for (as taxes payable or as accrued taxes) on the Financial
Statements and such Company and Subsidiary will not accrue a Tax liability from
the date of the Financial Statements up to and including the Effective Date
other than a Tax liability accrued on operating income in the ordinary course of
business in accordance with past practices.
(c) Neither a Company nor any Subsidiary has taken any action that
would require an adjustment pursuant to Section 481 of the Code, by reason of a
change in accounting method or otherwise. Neither a Company nor any Subsidiary

provisions of Section 341(f)(2) of
10
the Code apply to any disposition of "subsection (f) assets" as such term is
defined in Section 341(f)(4) of the Code.
(d) No Tax assessment or deficiency which has not been paid or for
which an adequate reserve has not been set aside, has been made or proposed
against either Company or any Subsidiary, nor are any of the Tax Returns now
being or, to the knowledge of the Companies and the Principal Stockholder,
threatened to be examined or audited, and no consents waiving or extending any
applicable statutes of limitations for the Tax Returns, or any Taxes required to

Tech of any notice of pending action or proceeding involving taxes relating to
such Company or any Subsidiary between the date of this Agreement and the
Effective Date. All Tax deficiencies determined as a result of any past
completed audit have been satisfied. Each Company has delivered to Tetra Tech
complete and correct copies of all audit reports and statements of deficiencies

plans, programs, agreements or arrangements;
that is maintained or contributed to by each Company for the benefit of its
employees (or former employees) and/or their beneficiaries. Both of these types
of plans shall be collectively referred to as "Benefit Plans." An arrangement
will not fail to be a Benefit Plan simply because it only covers one individual,
or because either Company's obligations under the plan arise by reason of its
being a "successor employer" under applicable law. Except as set forth on the
Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule, neither Company has any material unwritten
compensation arrangement which is enforceable and, if put into writing, would
constitute a Benefit Plan.
(b) Each Company has delivered or made available to Tetra Tech a

(e.g., trust agreements or insurance contracts), including all
amendments (and the Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule includes a description

that is subject to Section 302 of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code or Title IV to

(d) No Benefit Plan is a "multi-employer plan", as defined in
Section 3(37) of ERISA, nor is any Benefit Plan a plan described in Section
4063(a) of ERISA.
(e) No liability under Title IV of ERISA has been incurred by
either Company or by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, that
together with that Company would be deemed a "single employer" within the
meaning of Section 4001 of ERISA ("ERISA Affiliate"), since the effective date
of ERISA that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that
presents a risk to either Company or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a
liability under such Title other than liability for premiums due the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation (which premiums have been paid when due). To the
extent
20
this representation applies to Section 4064, 4069 or 4204 of Title IV of ERISA,
it is made with respect to each Benefit Plan and with respect to any employee
benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement subject to Title IV of ERISA to
which either Company or an ERISA Affiliate made, or was required to make,
contributions during the six year period ending on the Effective Date.
(f) All contributions required to be made by each Company to each
Benefit Plan under the terms of that Benefit Plan, ERISA, the Code or any other

not reported claims) for the current plan year of the Benefit Plan have been
recorded on the applicable Company's books.
(g) Except as set forth on the Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule and to
the knowledge of the Companies and the Principal Stockholder, (i) each Benefit
Plan complies currently, and has complied in the past, both in form and
operation, with all law applicable at the relevant time, including but not
limited to ERISA and the Code, and (ii) each Benefit Plan has been operated in
accordance with its terms. Furthermore, the Internal Revenue Service has issued
a favorable determination letter with respect to each Benefit Plan that is
intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, and, to the knowledge of
the Companies and the Principal Stockholder, no event had occurred (either
before or after the date of the letter) that would disqualify the plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no violation of ERISA or the Code shall be deemed
a violation of this subparagraph (g) if it can be remedied under a compliance
----------------
program or policy of the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor
(including, without limitation, the Voluntary Compliance Resolution Program).
(h) Each Benefit Plan that is intended to meet currently
applicable requirements for tax-favored treatment under Subchapter B of Chapter
1 of the Code is in compliance with such requirements and, if applicable, with
the requirements of Sections 419 and 419A of the Code, and no "disqualified
benefits" (within the meaning of Section 4976(a) of the Code) have been paid
which would subject either Company to a tax under Code Section 4976.

Stockholder, no prohibited transaction has occurred with respect to any of the
Benefit Plans which is not exempt under Section 4975 of the Code and Section 406
of ERISA. Neither Company has engaged in any transaction with respect to any
Benefit Plan which could subject it to either a material civil penalty assessed

pursuant to Section 4975 or 4976 of the Code.
(j) Except as set forth on the Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule,

are no proceedings or lawsuits, and to the knowledge of the Companies and the
Principal Stockholder, there are no investigations, either currently in progress
or expected to be instituted in the future, relating to any Benefit Plan, by any
administrative agency, whether local, state, federal or foreign.
(l) Except as set forth on the Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule, there
are no pending or threatened lawsuits or other claims (other than routine claims
for benefits under the plan) against or involving (i) any Benefit Plan or (ii)
any Fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21)(A) of ERISA) of such Benefit
Plan brought on behalf of any participant, beneficiary or Fiduciary thereunder,
nor to the knowledge of the Companies and the Principal Stockholder is there any
reasonable basis for any such claim.
(m) Neither Company has any legally binding commitment to create
any additional Benefit Plan, or to modify or change any existing Benefit Plan
except as required by law. The benefits under all Benefit Plans are as
represented, and except in the ordinary course of business and consistent with
past practices or as required by law, have not been, and will not be increased
subsequent to the date documents are provided to Tetra Tech.
(n) Except as set forth on the Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule and
Section 6.2 hereof, none of the Benefit Plans or any other employment agreement

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
--------------------------------------------------
The Stockholders represent and warrant to Tetra Tech as follows:
4.1 Title to Shares. The Stockholders are the record and beneficial
---------------
owners of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, free and clear of any
liens, encumbrances, security interests, restrictions or claims whatsoever, with
full power and authority to convey such shares in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
4.2 Authorization and Approvals. The Stockholders have all requisite
---------------------------
legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform their
obligations hereunder. The Principal Stockholder has all requisite legal power
and authority to enter into the Employment Agreement, the Noncompetition
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and to perform his obligations
thereunder. This Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the Noncompetition
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been, or will be prior to
the Effective Date, duly executed and delivered by those Stockholder(s) party to
such agreements and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such
Stockholder(s), enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject
to judicial discretion regarding specific performance or other equitable
remedies, and except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights and remedies generally.
24
4.3 No Violations. Neither the execution and delivery of this
-------------
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (as to all Stockholders) and the
Employment Agreement and the Noncompetition Agreement (as to the Principal
Stockholder), nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby will (a) violate, or be in conflict with, or constitute a default (or
other event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute a default) under, or give rise to any right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of
any material lease, license, promissory note, contract, agreement, mortgage,
deed of trust or other instrument or document to which the Stockholders are
parties or by which the Stockholders or any of their properties or assets may be
bound, other than obligations to be discharged on or immediately after Closing,
(b) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, law, statute, rule or
regulation of any court or governmental authority applicable to the Stockholders
or any of their properties or assets or (c) give rise to a declaration or
imposition of any claim, lien, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any
nature whatsoever upon the shares of Company Common Stock held by the
Stockholders or upon any of the assets of either Company.
4.4 Securities Law Matters. The Stockholders hereby confirm that the
----------------------
Stockholders have been informed that the Exchange Shares being issued pursuant
to this Agreement are restricted securities under the Securities Act and may not
be resold or transferred unless first registered under the federal securities
laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly,
the Stockholders hereby acknowledge that they are prepared to hold the Exchange
Shares for an indefinite period and that they are aware that, due to a one year
holding period requirement set forth in Rule 144(d), Rule 144 of the SEC issued
under the Securities Act is not presently available to exempt the offer and sale
of the Exchange Shares from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The Stockholders are aware of the adoption of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act by the SEC, which permits limited public resales of securities
acquired in a nonpublic offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. The Stockholders understand that Rule 144 is conditioned upon,
among other things: (i) the availability of certain current public information
about Tetra Tech, (ii) the resale occurring not less than one (1) year after the
party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold, (iii) the sale being
made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction", and (iv) the
amount of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding
specified limitations. The Stockholders understand that Tetra Tech may not be
satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time
the Stockholders wish to sell the Exchange Shares or other conditions under Rule
144 which are required of Tetra Tech. If so, the Stockholders understand that
they will be precluded from selling the securities under Rule 144 even if the
one-year holding period of said Rule has been satisfied. Prior to the
Stockholders' acquisition of the Exchange Shares, the Stockholders acquired
sufficient information about Tetra Tech to reach an informed and knowledgeable
decision to acquire the Exchange Shares. The Stockholders have such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters so as to make the Stockholders
capable of utilizing such information to evaluate the risks of the prospective
investment and to make an informed investment decision. The Stockholders are
acquiring
25
the Exchange Shares for investment purposes without a view to or for sale in
connection with such shares, and are able to bear the economic risk of the
Stockholders' investment in the Exchange Shares.

the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

declaration or imposition of any claim, lien, charge, security interest or
encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the assets of Tetra Tech's
business.

----- ----
As of their respective dates, the Tetra Tech SEC Reports did not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements (including
any related notes) of Tetra Tech included in the Tetra Tech SEC Reports were
prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, and present
fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows

(c) Tetra Tech has not received notice and otherwise is not aware
that it is in violation of or in default under any order, judgment, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental or administrative body or

5.7 Employee Benefits.
-----------------
(a) The Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and
complete list of each Benefit Plan that is maintained or contributed to by Tetra
Tech for the benefit of its employees (or former employees) and/or their
beneficiaries. Except as set forth on the Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule, Tetra
Tech has no material unwritten compensation arrangement which is enforceable
and, if put into writing, would constitute a Benefit Plan.
(b) Tetra Tech has delivered or made available to the Companies a
true and complete copy of:
28
(i) Each Benefit Plan and any related funding agreements
(e.g., trust agreements or insurance contracts), including all
amendments (and the Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule includes a
description of any such amendment that is not in writing);
(ii) The current draft of the Summary Plan Description of
each Benefit Plan (if applicable); and
(iii) The most recent Internal Revenue Service
determination letter (if applicable) for each Benefit Plan, which
determination letter, except as set forth on the Tetra Tech Disclosure
Schedule, reflects all amendments that have been made to the Benefit
Plan.
(c) Tetra Tech does not maintain or contribute to any Benefit
Plan that is subject to Section 302 of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code or Title
IV of ERISA.
(d) No Benefit Plan is a "multi-employer plan", as defined in
Section 3(37) of ERISA, nor is any Benefit Plan a plan described in Section
4063(a) of ERISA.
(e) No liability under Title IV of ERISA has been incurred by
Tetra Tech or by any ERISA Affiliate of Tetra Tech since the effective date of
ERISA that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that presents
a risk to Tetra Tech or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a liability under such
Title other than liability for premiums due the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (which premiums have been paid when due). To the extent this
representation applies to Section 4064, 4069 or 4204 of Title IV of ERISA, it is
made with respect to each Benefit Plan and with respect to any employee benefit
plan, program, agreement or arrangement subject to Title IV of ERISA to which
Tetra Tech or an ERISA Affiliate made, or was required to make, contributions
during the six year period ending on the Effective Date.
(f) All contributions required to be made by Tetra Tech to each
Benefit Plan under the terms of that Benefit Plan, ERISA, the Code or any other
applicable law have been timely made, and are fully deductible. All amounts
properly accrued to date as liabilities of Tetra Tech under or with respect to
each Benefit Plan (including administrative expenses and incurred but not
reported claims) for the current plan year of the Benefit Plan have been
recorded on Tetra Tech's books.
(g) Except as set forth on the Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule and
to the knowledge of Tetra Tech, (i) each Benefit Plan complies currently, and
has complied in the past, both in form and operation, with all law applicable at
the relevant time, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code and (ii) each
Benefit Plan has been operated in accordance with its terms. Furthermore, the
Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable determination letter with
respect to each Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under
29
Section 401(a) of the Code, and, to the knowledge of Tetra Tech, no event had
occurred (either before or after the date of the letter) that would disqualify
the plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no violation of ERISA or the Code
shall be deemed a violation of this subparagraph (g) if it can be remedied under
----------------
a compliance program or policy of the Internal Revenue Service or the Department
of Labor (including, without limitation, the Voluntary Compliance Resolution
Program).
(h) Each Benefit Plan that is intended to meet currently
applicable requirements for tax-favored treatment under Subchapter B of Chapter
1 of the Code is in compliance with such requirements and, if applicable, with
the requirements of Sections 419 and 419A of the Code, and no "disqualified
benefits" (within the meaning of Section 4976(a) of the Code) have been paid
which would subject Tetra Tech to a tax under Code Section 4976.
(i) To the knowledge of Tetra Tech, no prohibited transaction has
occurred with respect to any of the Benefit Plans which is not exempt under
Section 4975 of the Code and Section 406 of ERISA. Tetra Tech has not engaged
in any transaction with respect to any Benefit Plan which could subject it to
either a material civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 409, 502(i) or
502(l) of ERISA, or a material tax imposed pursuant to Section 4975 or 4976 of
the Code.
(j) Except as set forth on the Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule,
Tetra Tech does not maintain any plan that provides (or provides entitlement to)
medical or death benefits to one or more former employees (including retirees)
beyond their retirement or other termination of service, other than benefits
that are required under COBRA.
(k) Except as set forth on the Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule,
there are no proceedings or lawsuits, and to the knowledge of Tetra Tech, there
are no investigations, either currently in progress or expected to be instituted
in the future, relating to any Benefit Plan, by any administrative agency,
whether local, state, federal or foreign.
(l) Except as set forth on the Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule,
there are no pending or threatened lawsuits or other claims (other than routine
claims for benefits under the plan) against or involving (i) any Benefit Plan or
(ii) any Fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21)(A) of ERISA) of such
Benefit Plan brought on behalf of any participant, beneficiary or Fiduciary
thereunder, nor to the knowledge of Tetra Tech is there any reasonable basis for
any such claim.
(m) Tetra Tech has no legally binding commitment to create any
additional Benefit Plan, or to modify or change any existing Benefit Plan except
as required by law. The benefits under all Benefit Plans are as represented,
and except in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices
or as required by law, have not been, and will not be increased subsequent to
the date documents are provided to the Companies.
30
(n) Except as set forth on the Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule and
Section 6.2 hereof, none of the Benefit Plans or any other employment agreement
-----------
or arrangement entered into by Tetra Tech will entitle any current or former
employee to any benefits or other compensation that become payable solely as a
result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(o) None of the Benefit Plans has any liability for tax on
unrelated business taxable income or unrelated debt-financed income under
Section 511 of the Code.
(p) Tetra Tech has complied (to the extent applicable) with the
provisions of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
(q) Except as set forth on the Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule,
all reports, notices and other disclosure relating to Benefit Plans required to
be filed with, or furnished to, governmental entities, plan participants or plan
beneficiaries have been timely filed and furnished in accordance with applicable
law, including, but not limited to, notices required to be furnished to
employees under COBRA upon the occurrence of a "qualifying event", as defined at
Section 4980B of the Code.
(r) Except as set forth on the Tetra Tech Disclosure Schedule, no
Benefit Plan has any interest in any annuity contract or other investment or
insurance contract issued by an insurance company that is the subject of
bankruptcy, conservatorship, rehabilitation or similar proceeding.
(s) To the knowledge of Tetra Tech, none of the persons
performing services for Tetra Tech has been improperly classified as independent
contractors or as being exempt from the payment of wages for overtime.
5.8 Purchase for Investment. Tetra Tech acknowledges that the
-----------------------
Company Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or under
any state securities laws. Tetra Tech is not an "underwriter" (as such term is
defined under the Securities Act), and is acquiring the Company Common Stock
solely for investment with no present intention to distribute any of the Company
Common Stock to any person, and Tetra Tech will not sell or otherwise dispose of
any of the Company Common Stock, except in compliance with the registration
requirements or exemption provisions under the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and any other applicable securities laws.
5.9 Brokers and Finders. Tetra Tech has not engaged or authorized
-------------------
any broker, finder, investment banker or other third party to act on behalf of
Tetra Tech, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder, investment banker or in
any other like capacity in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, nor has Tetra Tech consented to or acquiesced in anyone so
acting, and Tetra Tech does not know of any claim for compensation from any such
broker, finder, investment banker or other third party for so acting on behalf
of Tetra Tech or of any basis for such a claim.
31
5.10 Exchange Shares. The Exchange Shares to be issued and delivered

pursuant to this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger will, on delivery of
certificates therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the
Certificate of Merger, be fully paid and nonassessable shares, validly issued
and outstanding.

occurred any event, nor has there been the development of any condition, which
has had or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Tetra
Tech's financial condition, results of operations or business.
5.12 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. No representation or
------------------------------------------
warranty made in this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection
herewith, by or on behalf of Tetra Tech to the Companies or the Principal
Stockholder, with respect to Tetra Tech, contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements so made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading.

commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the stockholder approval required to
amend its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of
shares of Tetra Tech Common Stock so as to permit the conversion of the shares
of Tetra Tech Preferred Stock issued to the Stockholders into shares of Tetra
Tech Common Stock (the "Conversion"). In the event that the Conversion has not
occurred on or before the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, the
Principal Stockholder shall have the option to cause Tetra Tech to purchase
34
the Tetra Tech Preferred Stock held by all Stockholders (the "Put Option") at
the average closing price of Tetra Tech Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market
on the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the Principal
Stockholder's exercise of the Put Option.
6.4 Refunds; Tax Credit. To the extent that Tetra Tech receives a
-------------------
refund or credit of and with respect to any Taxes for which the Principal
Stockholder is liable hereunder or any Taxes that were paid by the Principal
Stockholder or the Company prior to the Closing Date, Tetra Tech shall pay or
reimburse the Principal Stockholder for the amount of such refund or credit.
The Principal Stockholder and his duly appointed counsel shall have the sole
right to supervise or otherwise coordinate any examination process to negotiate,
resolve, settle or contest any asserted disallowance and to assert and prosecute
any claim for refund with respect to refunds for Taxes described in the
preceding sentence.
6.5 Cooperation in Audit. The Principal Stockholder acknowledges

that, following the Closing, Tetra Tech's auditors will commence an audit of the
Companies' financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1996,
and for the interim periods of January 1, 1997 through March 31, 1997 and

in preparing for such audit and make himself available, as reasonably requested,

6.6 Agreement Regarding Accounts Receivable. The parties acknowledge
---------------------------------------
that the A/R Distribution, pursuant to which the Stockholders received accounts
receivable of the Companies (the "Receivables") having a gross value of
$21,455,838 and a net value of $18,455,838 (the "Net Value"), was made on June
10, 1997. The parties hereby agree that upon the collection by the Stockholders
of payments with respect to the Receivables in the aggregate amount of the Net
Value, the Stockholders shall sell to Tetra Tech all of their right, title and
interest in and to the uncollected Receivables for a purchase price of $1.00;
provided, that if such collections have not been received by June 11, 1998 (the
--------
"Final Repurchase Date"), the Stockholders shall sell to Tetra Tech for $1.00
such uncollected Receivables as the Stockholders shall select in the aggregate
face amount of $3,000,000, less writeoffs or other amounts compromised with
respect to the Receivables from and after June 11, 1997 through the date of
repurchase by Tetra Tech. The Final Repurchase Date may be extended for up to
two three-month periods upon the mutual agreement of the parties, which
agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Stockholders further agree
that they will not writeoff or otherwise compromise any Receivables without
Tetra Tech's prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tetra
Tech shall indemnify and hold harmless the Principal Stockholder from any Tax
imposed by reason of being required to include in gross income for any taxable
period or periods any amount or amounts which, in the aggregate, exceed the Net
Value. Tetra Tech's indemnity obligation shall be limited to the amount of Tax
attributable to the excess described in the preceding sentence.

extent that the aggregate amount of Tetra Tech's Recoverable Losses for

which case all Tetra Tech's Recoverable Losses for Stockholder Purchase
Agreement Breaches in excess of the Basket which are covered by clauses (a) and
-----------
(b) hereinabove shall be paid by the Principal Stockholder; provided, however,
--- -------- -------
that the Basket shall not apply to claims for payment of Tetra Tech's

relating to Section 6.1 hereof; and (d) shall not exceed $72,000,000.

8.7 Claims for Indemnification; Disputes.
------------------------------------
(a) Claims for Indemnification. Any party hereto (individually
--------------------------
or with others, collectively, the "Indemnitee") shall give the Principal
Stockholder or Tetra Tech, as the case may be (the "Indemnitor"), written notice
(the "Claim Notice") of any claim (including the receipt of any demand) or the
commencement of any action with respect to which indemnity may be sought by the
Indemnitee (individually, a "Claim" and collectively, "Claims"); provided,
--------
however, that if the Indemnitee fails to give such Claim Notice prior to the
-------
expiration of the General Liability Period or the Tax Liability Period, as
applicable, all rights of the Indemnitee to assert any such Claims for a Tetra
Tech Purchase Agreement Breach or Stockholder Purchase Agreement Breach, as the
case may be, shall terminate and be forever waived. The Claim Notice shall
state (i) the aggregate amount of Tetra Tech's Recoverable Losses or the
Stockholders' Recoverable Losses (in either case,
40
"Recoverable Losses") as to which indemnification is being sought (which amount
may be estimated and updated from time to time); (ii) the components of the
amount of Recoverable Losses for which indemnification is being sought (which
components may be estimated and updated from time to time); and (iii) the
specific grounds upon which the Claim for indemnification is being made. The
right of the Indemnitee to indemnification for a Claim shall be deemed to be
accepted by the Indemnitor unless, within 30 days after the Indemnitor's receipt
of the Claim Notice, the Indemnitor shall notify the Indemnitee in writing that
it objects to the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification with respect to the
Claim.
(b) Control of Litigation; Mutual Cooperation. If a Claim is based
-----------------------------------------
upon a claim asserted by a third party against the Indemnitee (a "Third Party
Claim") and the Indemnitor denies liability for the Claim hereunder, the
Indemnitee shall be entitled to control the defense of the Third Party Claim,
including, without limitation, the employment of counsel and the right to settle
the Third Party Claim without any participation by or consent from the
Indemnitor. All fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee to
defend such Third Party Claim, expert witness fees and other costs incurred in
such action, shall be payable by the Indemnitee defending such Third Party
Claim; provided, however, that if such Third Party Claim results in a
-------- -------
Recoverable Loss for which the Indemnitor, notwithstanding any denial of
liability, is found to be liable hereunder, such reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel, expert witness fees and other reasonable costs incurred in such action
shall be deemed to be included in such Recoverable Loss and payable by the
Indemnitor to the extent and under the limitations provided in this Article 8.
---------
If the Indemnitor does not deny liability for the Claim hereunder, the
Indemnitor shall be entitled, in his or its discretion, to assume the defense of
the Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that until the
-------- -------
amount of Tetra Tech's Recoverable Losses exceeds the Basket in the case of a
Stockholder Purchase Agreement Breach (other than a Stockholder Purchase
Agreement Breach relating to Section 6.1 in which case the Basket shall not
-----------
apply), the Indemnitee, if Tetra Tech or a Tetra Tech Indemnitee, shall be
entitled to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, including, without
limitation, employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Principal
Stockholder. If the Indemnitor does not deny liability for the Claim hereunder,
but does not elect to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, the
Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim.
Regardless of which party is controlling the defense of the Third Party Claim
for which the Indemnitor admits liability hereunder, (i) the Indemnitor and the
Indemnitee shall act in good faith; (ii) no settlement of the Third Party Claim
may be agreed to without the written consents of the Indemnitor and the
Indemnitee, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld; (iii) the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained to defend the Third Party
Claim, expert witness fees and other costs incurred in such action shall be
deemed to be included in such Recoverable Losses and shall be payable by the
Indemnitor to the extent and under the limitations provided in this Article 8;
---------
and (iv) the party controlling the defense of the Third Party Claim shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the other party copies of all
correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals or other written statements
relating to or
41
submitted in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, and timely
notices of, and the right to participate in (as an observer), any hearing or
other court proceeding relating to the Third Party Claim.
(c) Resolution of Disputes. The Indemnitor and the Indemnitee
----------------------
shall undertake in good faith to or to have their representatives promptly meet
and attempt to resolve all disputes regarding indemnification. If the Indemnitor
and the Indemnitee are unable to resolve such disputes within 20 days, the
resolution of the disputes shall be referred to and settled by arbitration to be
held in Los Angeles, California and conducted in accordance with the then
current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction or
application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and
an order of enforcement, as the case may be. The successful or prevailing party
or parties, as determined by the arbitrators, shall be entitled to recover all
attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other costs incurred in such action, in
addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled. Such
attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other costs shall be payable in cash.
8.8 Indemnity as Exclusive Remedy. Each party hereto acknowledges
-----------------------------
and agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, his or its sole and exclusive
remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in
Section 6.1 and this Article 8, except that nothing in this Agreement shall be
----------- ---------
deemed to constitute a waiver of any tort claims of, or causes of action arising
from, intentionally fraudulent misrepresentation or deceit. In furtherance of
the foregoing, each party hereto waives, from and after the Closing Date, to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all claims, rights and
causes of action (other than tort claims of, or causes of action arising from,
intentionally fraudulent misrepresentation or deceit, and claims arising under
Section 6.1 or Article 8) it may have relating to the subject matter of this
----------- ---------
Agreement arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF
PREFERENCES OF THE
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
OF TETRA TECH, INC.
-----------------------------
Pursuant to Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware
-----------------------------
The undersigned, Li-San Hwang and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, hereby certify as
follows:
A. That Li-San Hwang is, and at all times herein mentioned was, the
duly elected and acting Chief Executive Officer of Tetra Tech, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Corporation"), and that Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx is, and at all times
herein mentioned was, the duly elected and acting Secretary of the Corporation.
B. That the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of
Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, there is
hereby created a series of preferred stock of the Corporation, designated as
"Series A Preferred Stock", which series shall consist of One Million Two
Hundred Thirty-One Thousand Eight Hundred Forty (1,231,840) shares, $0.01 par
value per share. In addition to those set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall
have the powers and preferences, the participating, optional or other special
rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions set forth below:
1. Definitions. As used in this resolution, the following terms
-----------
shall have the meanings indicated:
(a) "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.
(b) "Common Stock" shall mean the Common Stock, $0.01 par value,
per share issued or to be issued by the Corporation.
(c) "Corporation" shall mean Tetra Tech, Inc.
(d) "Series A Preferred Stock" shall mean the Series A Preferred
Stock, $0.01 par value per share, issued or to be issued by the Corporation.
2. Dividends.
---------
(a) The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive, out of funds legally available therefor, such cash dividends as the
Board in its discretion may declare from time to time, at such rate and on such
date as the Board may determine with respect to any such dividend, pari passu
with any dividends paid on the Common Stock, in an amount per share equal to the
per share amount paid with respect to the Common Stock, calculated as if each
share of Series A Preferred Stock represented the number of shares of Common
Stock into which it is or would be convertible (assuming such shares of Series A
Preferred Stock were then convertible) as of the record date fixed for
determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation then entitled to
receive such distribution. No cash dividend shall be declared or paid to
holders of the Common Stock unless at the same time a cash dividend is declared
and paid with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.
(b) In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution
payable in (i) securities of other persons, (ii) evidences of indebtedness
issued by the Corporation or other persons, (iii) assets (excluding cash
dividends), or (iv) options or rights to purchase capital stock or evidences of
indebtedness in the Corporation of other persons, then, in each such case for
the purpose of this Section 2(b), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
------------
shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as if they
were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into
which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock are or would be convertible
(assuming such shares of Series A Preferred Stock were then convertible) as of
the record date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock of the
Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
3. Liquidation Rights.
------------------
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to be paid out of the
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders,
whether such assets are capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment or
declaration and setting apart for payment of any amount shall be made in respect
of the outstanding shares of any other class or series of the Corporation's
capital stock, including without limitation, shares of Common Stock, an amount
equal to $19.75 per share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, times
the Conversion Ratio (as defined in Section 5(a) below), plus all accrued but
------------
unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation (whether or not
declared), and no more. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets to be distributed
among the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
insufficient to permit the payment to such stockholders of the full preferential
amounts aforesaid, then the entire assets of the Corporation to be distributed
shall be distributed ratably among the holders of outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock based on the full preferential amounts for the number of
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder.
2.
(b) After the payment or setting apart of the payment to the
holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the preferential
amounts aforesaid, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution pro
rata with the other holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation as
though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock are or would be
convertible (assuming such shares of Series A Preferred Stock were then
convertible) as of the record date applicable to such distribution, but only to
the extent that the amount payable pursuant to this Section 3(b) exceeds the
------------
amount payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock under Section 3(a)
------------
above.
(c) Neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or
into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation into the
Corporation, nor the purchase or redemption of all or part of the outstanding
shares of any class or classes of stock of the Corporation, nor a sale or
transfer of all or any part of its assets, shall be considered a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section
-------
3(c).
----
4. Voting Rights. At all meetings of the stockholders of the
-------------
Corporation and in the case of any actions of stockholders in lieu of a meeting,
each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to that
number of votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock held to which such holder
would be entitled if such holder were the holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock are or
would be convertible (assuming such shares of Series A Preferred Stock were then
convertible) as of the record date applicable to such stockholder vote. Except
as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6 below or as required by law, the
---------
holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a
single class in accordance with the preceding sentence, and neither the Common
Stock nor the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote as a separate
class on any matter to be voted on by stockholders of the Corporation.
5. Automatic Conversion.
--------------------
(a) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically
be converted (the "Conversion") into one share of Common Stock, subject to
adjustment as described herein ("Conversion Ratio"), immediately upon the filing
of an amendment to the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation which
increases the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to a number sufficient
to permit the Conversion of all the then outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock.
(b) Upon the occurrence of the event specified in Section 5(a)
------------
above the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted
automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and
whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the
Corporation or its transfer agent, from and after the date of automatic
conversion, certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred
3.
Stock shall be deemed to represent the number of shares of Common Stock shown on
the face of such stock certificates, times the Conversion Ratio; provided,
--------
however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates
-------
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion unless the
certificates evidencing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are either
delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the
holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates
have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to
the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in
connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of the Conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the
Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock or Common
Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly
at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or
certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
Stock into which the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock surrendered were
convertible on the date on which the Conversion occurred, and the Corporation
shall promptly pay in cash all declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock being converted, to and including the date of
Conversion.
(c) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Whether or not fractional shares
would be issuable upon such Conversion shall be determined on the basis of the
total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted into Common
Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate
Conversion. In lieu of any fractional share to which the holder would otherwise
be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to the product of such
fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock
Market on the date of Conversion.
6. Adjustments.
-----------
(a) The Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment as
follows:
(i) In the event the Corporation shall at any time (A)
pay a dividend or make a distribution to holders of Common Stock in
shares of capital stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or
(D) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares
of the Corporation, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted as provided below so that the holder of any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for
Conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of the
Corporation which such holder would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any of the events described above,
had such share of Series A Preferred Stock been converted immediately
prior to the happening of such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to
this subparagraph (i) shall become effective retroactively immediately
----------------
after the record date in the case of a
4.
dividend and shall become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(ii) In case the Corporation shall issue rights or
warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share
less than the current market price (as hereinafter defined) per share
of Common Stock at the record date mentioned below, the number of
shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share
of Series A Preferred Stock was theretofore convertible by a fraction,
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus
the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance
of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered
would purchase at such current market price. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become
effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants.
(iii) In case the Corporation shall distribute to all
holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets or
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities issued by
the Corporation or property of the Corporation (excluding those
referred to in subparagraph (ii) above), then in each such case the
-----------------
number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share
of Series A Preferred Stock was theretofore convertible by a fraction,
of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of
the Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current
market price per share of Common Stock, less the then fair market
value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the assets
or evidence of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or
warrants applicable to one share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become
effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(iv) If any such rights or warrants referred to above
shall expire without having been exercised, the Conversion Ratio as
theretofore adjusted because of the issue of such rights or warrants
shall forthwith be readjusted to the Conversion Ratio which would have
been in effect had an
5.
adjustment been made on the basis that only the rights or warrants so
issued or sold were those rights or warrants actually exercised and
that with respect to any such rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase securities issued by the Corporation, other than Common Stock
or property of the Corporation, the fair market value thereof shall be
the fair market value of the rights or warrants actually exercised.
If any such rights or warrants shall expire without having been
exercised, the Conversion Ratio as theretofore adjusted because of the
issue of such rights or warrants shall forthwith be readjusted to the
Conversion Ratio which would have been in effect had an adjustment
been made on the basis that the only rights or warrants, so issued or
sold, were those rights or warrants actually exercised and that with
respect to any such rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
securities issued by the Corporation, other than Common Stock, or
property of the Corporation the fair market value thereof shall be the
fair market value of the rights or warrants actually exercised.
For the purpose of any computation under this Section 6(a), the
------------
current market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be
the average of the daily closing prices for the 15 consecutive business days
commencing 30 business days before the day in question. The closing price for
each day shall be the last reported sale price or, in the case no such reported
sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked
prices, in either case on the Nasdaq National Market System, or, if the Common
Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq National Market System,
the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by any New York
Stock Exchange firm selected from time to time by the Corporation for the
purpose.
All calculations under this Section 6(a) shall be made to the nearest
------------
cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share as the case may be.
(b) No adjustment of the Conversion Ratio shall be made as a
result of or in connection with the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to options
or stock purchase agreements now or hereafter granted or entered into with
directors, officers or employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries in
connection with their employment, whether entered into at the beginning of the
employment or at any time thereafter.
(c) In case of:
(i) any capital reorganization of the Corporation, or
(ii) the consolidation or merger of the Corporation
with or into another corporation, or
(iii) a statutory share exchange whereby the
Corporation's Common Stock is converted into property other than cash,
or
6.
(iv) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the property, assets or business of the
Corporation as a result of which sale, transfer or other disposition
property other than cash shall be payable or distributable to the
holders of the Common Stock, then, in each such case, each share of
Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the
number and class of shares or other securities or property of the
Corporation, or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation
or merger or with or to which such statutory share exchange, sale,
transfer or other disposition shall have been made, to which the
Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion of such shares of
Series A Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such
reorganization, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, or
sale, transfer or other disposition if outstanding at the time
thereof; and in any such case appropriate adjustment, as determined by
the Board of Directors, shall be made in the application of the
provisions set forth in this Section 6 with respect to the conversion
---------
rights thereafter of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, to
the end that such provisions shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or securities or other
property thereafter issuable or deliverable upon the conversion of
Series A Preferred Stock. Proper provision shall be made as a part of
the terms of any such reorganization, consolidation, merger, statutory
share exchange or sale, transfer or other disposition whereby the
conversion rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
protected and preserved in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6(c). The provisions of this Section 6(c) shall similarly
------------ ------------
apply to successive capital reorganizations, consolidations, mergers,
statutory share exchanges, sales, transfers or other dispositions of
property as aforesaid.
(d) Whenever the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted as herein
provided, the Corporation shall cause to be mailed by first class mail, postage
prepaid, as soon as practicable to each holder of record of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock a notice stating that the Conversion Ratio has been adjusted and
setting forth the adjusted Conversion Ratio, together with an explanation of the
calculation of the same.
(e) If the Corporation shall be party to, or shall have
announced or entered into an agreement for, any transaction (including, without
limitation, a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or sale of all or
substantially all of its assets (each of the foregoing, a "Transaction") in each
case as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be converted into the
right to receive stock, securities or other property (including cash or any
combination thereof), the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall
have the right after such Transaction to convert such shares into the number and
kind of shares of stock or other securities and the amount and kind of property
receivable upon such Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock
immediately prior to such Transaction. The Corporation shall not be party to any
Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the
provisions of this Section 6(e), and it shall not consent to or agree to the
------------
7.
occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an
agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the
benefit of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, thereby enabling the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock to receive the benefits of this Section 6(e)
------------
and the other provisions of this Certificate of Designation. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, provision shall be made for adjustments in the
Conversion Ratio which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to
the adjustments provided for in Section 6(a). The provisions of this Section
------------ -------
6(e) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.
----
(f) In the event that the Corporation shall propose to effect
any Transaction which would result in an adjustment under Section 6(e), the
------------
Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the holders of record of Series A
Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
specified a notice stating the date on which such Transaction is expected to
become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common
Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such Transaction. Failure to give
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of
such Transaction.
7. Other.
-----
(a) The Corporation shall pay any taxes that may be payable in
respect of the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, but the Corporation shall not be required to pay any
taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock or any transfer involved in the issuance of shares of Common
Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
so converted are registered, and the Corporation shall not be required to
transfer any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock or to issue or deliver any
such shares of Common Stock unless and until the person(s) requesting such
transfer or issuance shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of any such
taxes, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that
such taxes have been paid.
(b) The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but
will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of
this Certificate of Designations and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the

Re: Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Xxxxxx & Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("WhalenCo") and Xxxxxx Service Corps Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Xxxxxx
-------- ------
Service," and together with WhalenCo, the "Companies"), in connection with the
------- ---------
execution and delivery of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the
"Agreement") by and among Tetra Tech, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Tetra
---------- -----
Tech"), the Companies, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, an individual (the "Principal
---------
Stockholder") and the other stockholders of the Companies (together with the
-----------
Principal Stockholder, the "Stockholders"), and the consummation of the
------------
transactions contemplated thereby. Each of the capitalized terms used herein
without definition has the meaning specified in the Agreement. This opinion is
rendered pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) of the Agreement.
In our capacity as counsel to the Companies, we have examined the following
documents (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"): (i) a copy of the
---------------------
Agreement substantially in the form to be executed; (ii) a copy of the
Employment Agreement substantially in the form to be executed; (iii) a copy of
the Noncompetition and Nondisclosure Agreement substantially in the form to be
executed; (iv) a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the
form to be executed; (v) a copy of the Certificate of Merger substantially in
the form to be executed; and (vi) a copy of the Investment Letter substantially
in the form to be executed.
In addition to the foregoing documents, we have examined the originals or
certified copies of the following:
(a) The Certificate of Incorporation of WhalenCo certified by the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware;
Teta Tech, Inc.
June 11, 1997
Page 2
(b) The Certificate of Incorporation of Xxxxxx Service certified by the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;
(c) Bylaws of WhalenCo certified by an officer of WhalenCo;
(d) Bylaws of Xxxxxx Service certified by an officer of Xxxxxx Service;
(e) Certificates of Good Standing for the Companies issued by the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware;
(f) Certificates of the relevant state authorities evidencing the
qualification and good standing of WhalenCo in the following jurisdictions:
Arizona, California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland (d/b/a Xxxxxx Project Management, Inc.),
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio (d/b/a Xxxxxx
Project Management, Inc.), Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah,
Virginia and Washington.
(g) An Officer's Certificate of WhalenCo as to resolutions of the board of
directors of WhalenCo approving the execution, delivery and performance of, and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Transaction Documents
and as to other factual matters (the "WhalenCo Officer's Certificate");
------------------------------
(h) An Officer's Certificate of Xxxxxx Service as to resolutions of the
board of directors of Xxxxxx Service approving the execution, delivery and
performance of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the
Transaction Documents and as to other factual matters (together with the
WhalenCo Officer's Certificate, the "Officers' Certificates").
----------------------
In our examination of the referenced documents, we have assumed, without
independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the authority of all individuals
executing the Transaction Documents on behalf of persons other than the
Companies, the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to
us as certified or photographic copies and the legal capacity of all natural
persons executing such documents, whether on behalf of themselves or other
persons. As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have
relied upon the Officers' Certificates and have assumed that each such
certificate and the representations contained therein continue to remain true
and complete as of the date of this opinion. In rendering this opinion, we have
not examined any court records,
Teta Tech, Inc.
June 11, 1997
Page 3
dockets or other public records and we have made no investigation as to the
Companies' history or other transactions except as specifically set forth
herein.
Based upon the foregoing, and having regard for such legal considerations
as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion and advise you as follows:
1. Each Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all necessary
corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Except as set forth in the
Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule, each Company is duly qualified to transact business
and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of its
business makes such qualification necessary, except for such jurisdictions where
the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operation or business of such Company.
2. Each Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver the Agreement and the Certificate of Merger and to
consummate the transactions and to perform its obligations contemplated thereby.
Each Company has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution
and filing of the Certificate of Merger and to authorize the execution and
delivery of the Agreement, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the
consummation of the Merger pursuant thereto. The Agreement and the Certificate
of Merger have been duly executed and delivered by each Company, and are the
valid and binding obligations of each Company, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms.
3. The authorized capital stock of WhalenCo consists of 150,000 shares of
common stock, $1.00 par value ("WC Common Stock"), of which 100 shares are
---------------
issued and outstanding; and the authorized capital stock of Xxxxxx Service
consists of 3,000 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value ("WS Common Stock"),
---------------
of which 100 shares are issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares
of WC Common Stock and WS Common Stock are duly authorized and are validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, to the best of our knowledge, have not
been issued in violation of any preemptive rights of stockholders of either
Company. To the best of our knowledge, the outstanding shares of WC Common
Stock and WS Common Stock are free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
options, rights of first refusal or limitations or agreements regarding voting
rights of any nature, other than restrictions on sale or transfer imposed by
applicable securities laws. To the best of our knowledge, other than the
Agreement, there
Teta Tech, Inc.
June 11, 1997
Page 4
are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible debt or securities, calls,
agreements, arrangements, commitments, understandings or other rights to
purchase any of either Company's capital stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for any such capital stock.
4. To the best of our knowledge, neither Company, directly or indirectly,
owns or controls any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any
corporation, partnership, joint venture, business organization, trust or other
entity, other than the Companies' interest in Xxxxxx Management Services
Company, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company.
5. The execution and delivery by each Company of the Agreement and the
Certificate of Merger and the consummation by each Company of the transactions
contemplated thereby will not (i) violate any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of either Company, (ii) violate, or be in conflict with,
or constitute a default (or other event which, with the giving of notice or
lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or give rise to any
right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of any material lease, license, promissory note,
contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument or document
known to us to which either Company is a party or by which such Company or any
of its properties or assets may be bound, other than obligations to be
discharged on or immediately after Closing or obligations disclosed in the
Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule, (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree
known to us without investigation, or any law, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to such Company or any of its properties or assets, or (iv) to the
best of our knowledge, give rise to a declaration or imposition of any claim,
lien, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any
of the assets of such Company, except for such violations, conflicts, breaches,
liens, charges or encumbrances referred to in clauses (ii) through (iv) above as
would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of
operations or business of such Company.
6. No approvals or consents by, or filings with, any federal, state,
municipal, foreign or other court or governmental or administrative body, agency
or other third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery
by each Company of the Agreement and the Certificate of Merger, or the
consummation by such Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, except
for (i) the filing of the Certificate of Designation and Certificate of Merger
with the Delaware Secretary of State, (ii) the filing
Teta Tech, Inc.
June 11, 1997
Page 5
required under the HSR Act and (iii) those approvals, consents and filings
which, if not obtained, would not have a material adverse impact on the ability
of such Company to perform its business as currently conducted or the ability of
such Company to execute and deliver the Agreement and the Certificate of Merger,
or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.
7. To the best of our knowledge, relying solely on the Officers'
Certificates, and except as set forth in the Xxxxxx Disclosure Schedule, there
is no pending or threatened action, suit, arbitration proceeding, investigation
or inquiry before any court or governmental or administrative body or agency, or
any private arbitration tribunal, against, relating to or affecting (i) either
Company or any director, officer or employee of such Company in his or her
capacity as such, or the assets, properties or business of such Company, which
would, if decided adversely, have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations or business of such Company or (ii) the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
8. The Stockholders are the record owners of all outstanding shares of WC
Common Stock and WS Common Stock, and have full power and authority to convey
such shares in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. To the best of our
knowledge, the Stockholders are the beneficial owners (as such term is defined
in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of all of the
outstanding shares of WC Common Stock and WS Common Stock, free and clear of any
liens, encumbrances, security interests, restrictions or claims whatsoever.
9. The Stockholders have the requisite legal power and authority to enter
into the Agreement and the Employment Agreement, the Noncompetition Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement, to the extent that the Stockholders are
parties thereto (collectively, the "Related Agreements"). The Stockholders have
------------------
duly executed and delivered the Agreement and the Related Agreements, and such
agreements constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Stockholders, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to the
rights and remedies of creditors generally or (ii) general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in law or in
equity).
In addition to the qualifications set forth above, the foregoing opinions
are further qualified as follows:
Teta Tech, Inc.
June 11, 1997
Page 6
(a) We have made no investigation as to, and we express no opinion
concerning, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the States of Delaware and
Maryland.
(b) We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable
laws change after the date hereof or if we become aware of any facts that might
change the opinions expressed herein after the date hereof.
(c) In basing the opinions and other matters set forth herein on "to our
knowledge,"the words "to our knowledge" signify that, in the course of our
representation of the Companies for the purposes of this transaction, no
information has come to our attention that would give us actual knowledge or
actual notice that any such opinions or other matters are not accurate. The
words "to our knowledge" and similar language used herein are intended to be
limited to the knowledge of the lawyers within our firm who have represented the
Companies in connection with the Agreement, without independent check or
verification, and do not necessarily refer to such knowledge as might be
acquired by a review of all our files with respect to matters involving the
Companies.
The opinions expressed in this letter are solely for your use in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. This opinion may not be
relied on by any other person or in any other connection without our prior
written consent. The opinions expressed in this letter are limited to the
matters set forth herein, and no other opinions should be inferred beyond the
matters expressly stated.
Very truly yours,

------------------------------------------
This Noncompetition and Nondisclosure Agreement (the "Agreement") is
made and entered into as of this 11th day of June, 1997 by and between Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxx, a California resident ("Xxxxxx"), and Tetra Tech, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Tetra Tech").
R E C I T A L S
- - - - - - - -
A. Section 16601 of the California Business and Professions Code
("Section 16601") provides that any shareholder of a corporation which sells or
otherwise disposes of all such shareholder's shares in the corporation may agree
with the buyer of such shares to refrain from carrying on a similar business
under the circumstances contemplated by Section 16601.
B. Concurrently herewith, Xxxxxx, Tetra Tech, Xxxxxx & Company,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Xxxxxx Service Corps Inc., a Delaware
corporation (collectively, the "Xxxxxx Companies"), are consummating the
transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
made and entered into as of June 11, 1997 (the "Reorganization Agreement"),
pursuant to which the Xxxxxx Companies will be merged with and into Tetra Tech,
C. This Agreement is the Noncompetition and Nondisclosure Agreement
referred to in Section 7.2 of the Reorganization Agreement, and pursuant
-----------
thereto, must be entered into by the parties hereto as a condition to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement.
The execution and performance of this Agreement is a substantial inducement to
Tetra Tech to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement.
X. Xxxxxx, in connection with the Reorganization Agreement and this
Agreement, shall be compensated for the covenants contained herein, and Xxxxxx
is willing to refrain from competing with Tetra Tech as provided herein.
A G R E E M E N T
- - - - - - - - -
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and the
agreements hereinafter set forth, and in consideration of Tetra Tech
consummating the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, the
parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. Covenant Against Competition; Confidentiality and Nondisclosure.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Xxxxxx acknowledges that (i) the Xxxxxx Companies are engaged in the
telecommunications business (hereinafter referred to as the "Business"); (ii)
Xxxxxx is the founder and the principal stockholder of the Xxxxxx Companies;
(iii) Xxxxxx'x work for the Xxxxxx Companies has brought Xxxxxx, and Xxxxxx'x
employment with Tetra Tech pursuant to that certain Employment Agreement of even
date (the "Employment Agreement") will continue to bring Xxxxxx, into close
contact with many confidential affairs not readily available to the public; and
(iv) Tetra Tech would not have consummated the transactions contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement unless Xxxxxx entered into this Agreement.
Accordingly, Xxxxxx covenants and agrees, that:
(a) Until the fourth anniversary date of the date hereof (the
"Restricted Period"), Xxxxxx will not, within the Geographic Area (as defined
below), without the prior written consent of Tetra Tech (1) compete directly or
indirectly, as agent, employee, consultant, representative or otherwise, or as a
stockholder, partner, member or joint venturer, or have any direct or indirect
financial interest, including, without limitation, the interest of a creditor,
in any enterprise engaging within the Geographic Area in the Business; provided,
--------
however, that Xxxxxx may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment,
-------
securities of any entity which are traded on any national securities exchange if
Xxxxxx, (A) is not a controlling person of or a member of a group which controls
such entity and (B) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any
class of securities of such entity; or (2) engage in the Business for Xxxxxx'x
own account.
(b) During and after the Restricted Period, Xxxxxx shall keep
secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall not use for the benefit of
Xxxxxx or others except in connection with the business and affairs of Tetra
Tech and its subsidiaries and affiliates, all non-public matters relating to the
Xxxxxx Companies and to Tetra Tech and its subsidiaries and affiliates,
including, without limitation, and to the extent confidential, trade "know-how,"
secrets, client lists, subscription lists, details of contracts, pricing
policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, business
acquisition, disposition or reorganization plans, requisition forms or
procedures, software programs, new personnel acquisition plans, technical
processes, designs and design projects, inventions and research projects,
technical services, and other business affairs relating to, arising from or in
connection with the Xxxxxx Companies or to Tetra Tech and its subsidiaries and
affiliates learned by Xxxxxx heretofore or hereafter, and shall not disclose
them to anyone outside of Tetra Tech and its subsidiaries and affiliates, either
during or after retention as an employee by Tetra Tech or any of its
subsidiaries and affiliates, except as required in the course of performing
duties hereunder, by law, or with Tetra Tech's express written consent. For
purposes of this Agreement, confidential information concerning the Xxxxxx
Companies and Tetra Tech shall not include any information which (i) at the time
of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and known by the public
(other than as a result of the disclosure directly or indirectly by Xxxxxx) or
(ii) has been independently acquired or developed by Xxxxxx without violating
any of Xxxxxx'x obligations under this Agreement.
2.
(c) During the Restricted Period, Xxxxxx shall not, directly or
indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage to leave the employment or service of Tetra
Tech or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, any employee or consultant of
Tetra Tech or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, to engage in the Business
or (ii) hire or retain any employee or consultant who is employed or retained
by, or who, within one year prior to the date of hire, has left the employment
or service of, Tetra Tech or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to engage in
the Business.
(d) The parties agree that due to the nature of the Xxxxxx
Companies' business operations as a service provider throughout the United
States, due to the fact that such services can be performed throughout the world
and due to the nature of Tetra Tech's business operations as a service provider
throughout the world and its intention to extend the Xxxxxx Companies' business
throughout the world in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement, in order for this Agreement to be meaningful it must
restrict Xxxxxx from competing with or engaging in the Business throughout the
United States and the world. Therefore, the parties agree that for the purposes
of this Agreement, "Geographic Area" shall mean (i) the District of Columbia and
each and every county of each and every state, commonwealth and territory of the
United States, and (ii) each and every country and territory throughout the
world in which Tetra Tech or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof engages in the
Business at any time during the Restricted Period.
2. Rights and Remedies Upon Breach of the Restrictive Covenants.
------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Xxxxxx recognizes that Tetra Tech does not have an adequate
remedy at law to protect its rights hereunder. Accordingly, Xxxxxx agrees that
Tetra Tech shall have the right to an injunction without bond in any court of
competent jurisdiction permanently enjoining Xxxxxx from a violation of
Section 1 hereof (the "Restrictive Covenants").
---------
(b) Xxxxxx recognizes and agrees that in the event of a
violation of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the period during which Xxxxxx
shall not compete shall be suspended during the period Xxxxxx is engaged in
conduct constituting such violation and shall resume after such violation has
been remedied to the satisfaction of Tetra Tech.
(c) Tetra Tech shall provide notice to Xxxxxx, in the manner
provided in Section 4 hereof, at such time as (i) a suspension is in effect and
---------
(ii) the violation has been remedied to the satisfaction of Tetra Tech.
(d) The remedies set forth in subparagraph (a) above shall not
limit, eliminate, prohibit or restrict any other rights that Tetra Tech may have
under law for violation by Xxxxxx of this Agreement and shall not be mutually
exclusive and any one or all may be pursued without the pursuit of one impairing
or precluding the pursuit of another.
3.
3. Severability of Restrictive Covenants. It is understood and
-------------------------------------
agreed by the parties hereto that the provisions of each of the preceding
sections of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each other and
the invalidity of any section or any portion thereof shall not affect the
validity or hinder the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. The parties expressly agree and declare that the time limitation and
geographic scope set forth in Section 1 hereof are reasonable, are properly
---------
required for the adequate protection of the business of Tetra Tech and that in
the event such time limitation and/or geographic scope is deemed to be
unreasonable by the final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, Tetra
Tech and Xxxxxx agree to submit to such revision or modification thereof as said
court shall deem reasonable.
4. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted
-------
hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed sufficiently given only if
delivered in person or sent by registered airmail letter, postage prepaid, or by
facsimile transmission followed by U.S. Mail, addressed as follows:

its own account or for the account of any stockholder (other than a registration
relating to the sale of securities to employees of Tetra Tech pursuant to an

145 under the Securities Act), the Holders shall be entitled to include
Registrable Securities in such registration (and related underwritten offering,

for such underwritten offering; and
(f) Tetra Tech shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any
registration initiated by it under this Section 2 prior to the effective date of

such registration.

---------------------
(a) Tetra Tech shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-3
providing for the sale by the Holders, pursuant to Rule 415, and/or any similar
rule that may be adopted by the SEC, of the Registrable Securities, and Tetra
Tech shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective on or before December 10, 1997 and to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the date on
which all Holders are eligible to sell Registrable Securities under Rule 144(k)
(or similar successor Rule).
(b) No Holder shall have the right to register securities under
this Agreement unless such Holder provides and/or confirms in writing prior to
or after the filing of the Registration Statement such information (including,
without limitation, information as to the number of Registrable Securities that
such Holder has sold pursuant to any such Registration Statement from time to
time) as Tetra Tech requests in connection with such Registration Statement.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period not to exceed 90
days in any 12-month period, Tetra Tech shall not be obligated to prepare and
file, or be prevented from delaying or abandoning, the Registration Statement
required hereunder if Tetra Tech, in its good faith judgment, reasonably
believes that the filing or maintenance of such Registration Statement would
require the disclosure of material non-public information regarding Tetra Tech
and, accordingly, that the filing thereof, at the time requested, or the
offering of Tetra Tech Common Stock pursuant thereto, would materially and
adversely affect (A) a pending or scheduled public offering or private placement
of securities of Tetra Tech, (B) an acquisition, merger, consolidation or
similar transaction by or of Tetra Tech, (C) preexisting and continuing
negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect to any of the
foregoing transactions, or (D) the financial condition of Tetra Tech in view of
the disclosure of any pending or threatened litigation, claim, assessment or
governmental investigation which might be required thereby.
4.
In the event that Tetra Tech, in good faith, reasonably believes that
such conditions are continuing after such 90-day period, it may, with the
consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities subject (or
to be subject) to the Registration Statement, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, extend such 90-day period for an additional 30 days. Any
further delay shall require the consent of the Holders of all such shares.
4. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included (in whole or in part) in a
Registration Statement filed by Tetra Tech under Section 2 for sale in an
---------
underwritten offering agrees, if requested by the managing underwriter of such
offering, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the
purchase of, dispose of or effect any public sale or distribution of securities
of the same series and class as (or securities exchangeable or exercisable for
or convertible into securities of the same series and class as) the Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement, including a sale pursuant to
Rule 144 (except as part of such underwritten registration), during the ten day
period prior to, and during the 180 day period (or shorter period requested by
the underwriter) beginning on the closing date of such underwritten offering, to
the extent timely notified in writing by Tetra Tech or the managing underwriter.
5. Registration Procedures. In connection with Tetra Tech's
-----------------------
registration obligations pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, Tetra Tech will use
---------- -
its diligent efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the
Registrable Securities covered thereby in accordance with the intended method or
methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto Tetra Tech will:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its diligent efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to become effective; provided that, before filing
--------
any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto, Tetra Tech will furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement and their counsel, copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed at least ten days prior thereto, and Tetra Tech
will not file any such Registration Statement or amendment thereto or any
Prospectus or any supplement thereto to which any such Holder shall reasonably
object within such ten day period; provided, further, that Tetra Tech will not
-------- -------
name or otherwise provide any information with respect to any Holder in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus without the express written consent of such
Holder, unless required to do so by the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, post-
effective amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the disposition of
all securities covered by such Registration Statement;
5.
(c) promptly notify the selling Holders (i) when the Prospectus
or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and,
with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when
the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or
supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional
information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by Tetra Tech of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for
sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose and (v) of the happening of any event which makes any statement
made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated
therein by reference untrue or which requires the making of any changes in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing;
(d) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest
possible moment;
(e) furnish to each selling Holder, without charge, at least one
signed copy of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated
by reference);
(f) deliver to each selling Holder, without charge, such
reasonable number of conformed copies of the Registration Statement (and any
post-effective amendment thereto) and such number of copies of the Prospectus
(including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto
(and any documents incorporated by reference therein) as such Holder may
reasonably request; Tetra Tech consents to the use of the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection
with the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto;
(g) prior to any offering of Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement, register or qualify or cooperate with the selling
Holders in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as any such selling Holder reasonably requests, and use its
reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective,
including through new filings, or amendments or renewals, during the period such
Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement; and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable
to enable the disposition in all such jurisdictions reasonably requested by the
Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement,
provided that under no circumstances shall
--------
6.
Tetra Tech be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereof to
qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any
such states or jurisdictions;
(h) cooperate with the selling Holders and the managing
underwriter or underwriters to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold, free of any and all
restrictive legends, such certificates to be in such denominations and
registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or
such Holders may request;
(i) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
Section 5(c)(v) above, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the
---------------
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered
to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, the Prospectus will not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading;
(j) make generally available to the holders of Tetra Tech's
outstanding securities earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 60 days after the end of any 12 month
period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end
of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters
in a firm or best efforts underwritten offering, or, if not sold to underwriters
in such an offering, (ii) beginning with the first month of Tetra Tech's first
fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration
Statement, which statements shall cover said 12 month period;
(k) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and
registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement
from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration
Statement;
(l) use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
covered by each Registration Statement to be listed, subject to notice of
issuance, prior to the date of the first sale of such Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement, on each securities exchange on which
the Tetra Tech Common Stock is then listed, and admitted to trading on the
Nasdaq Stock Market, if the Tetra Tech Common Stock is then admitted to trading
on the Nasdaq Stock Market;
(m) enter into such agreements (including underwriting
agreements in customary form containing, among other things, reasonable and
customary indemnities) and take such other actions as a majority of the Holders
shall reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of
such Registrable Securities; and
7.
(n) cooperate with the selling Holders and the managing
underwriter or underwriters in their marketing efforts with respect to the sale
of the Registrable Securities, including participation by Tetra Tech management
in "road show" presentations.
Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from Tetra Tech of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5(c)(v) hereof, such
---------------
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities under
the Prospectus related to the applicable Registration Statement until such
Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 5(i) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by Tetra
------------
Tech that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. It shall be a condition
precedent to the obligations of Tetra Tech to take any action pursuant to this
Section 5 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that
---------
such Holder shall furnish to Tetra Tech such information regarding itself and
the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be required by the Securities Act
to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities.
6. Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to any registration
---------------------
to be effected hereunder and incident to Tetra Tech's performance of or
compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation all registration
and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky
laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc., stock exchange and qualification fees, fees and
disbursements of Tetra Tech's counsel and of independent certified public
accountants of Tetra Tech (including the expenses of any special audit required
by or incident to such performance), the fees of one counsel representing the
Holders in such offering, expenses of the underwriters that are customarily
requested in similar circumstances by such underwriters (excluding discounts,
commissions or fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar
securities industry professionals relating to the distribution of the
Registrable Securities, which will be borne by the Holders), all such expenses
being herein called "Registration Expenses," will be borne by Tetra Tech. Tetra
Tech will also pay its internal expenses, the expense of any annual audit and
the fees and expenses of any person retained by Tetra Tech.
7. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) Indemnification by Tetra Tech. Tetra Tech agrees to
-----------------------------
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers,
directors, partners and employees and each person who controls such Holder
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any
----------
and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any investigation,
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount
paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted)
(collectively, "Damages") to which such Holder may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state securities law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Damages arise out of or
are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto,
8.
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) any
violation or alleged violation by Tetra Tech of the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or any state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the Registration
Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, provided that Tetra Tech will not be liable to any Holder to the extent
--------
that such Damages arise from or are based upon any untrue statement or omission
(x) based upon written information furnished to Tetra Tech by such Holder
expressly for the inclusion in such Registration Statement, (y) made in any
preliminary prospectus if such Holder failed to deliver a copy of the Prospectus
with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Holder
to the party asserting the claim underlying such Damages and such Prospectus
would have corrected such untrue statement or omission and (z) made in any
Prospectus if such untrue statement or omission was corrected in an amendment or
supplement to such Prospectus and such Holder failed to deliver such amendment
or supplement prior to or concurrently with the sale of Registrable Securities
to the party asserting the claim underlying such Damages.
(b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. Each
---------------------------------------------------
Holder of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are sold under a
Prospectus which is a part of a Registration Statement agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Tetra Tech, its directors and each officer who signed such
Registration Statement and each person who controls Tetra Tech (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), and each other Holder of
Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are sold under the
Prospectus which is a part of such Registration Statement (and such Holder's
officers, directors and employees and each person who controls such Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), under the same
circumstances as the foregoing indemnity from Tetra Tech to each Holder of
Registrable Securities to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a
material fact or omission of a material fact that was made in the Prospectus,
the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance
upon and in conformity with information relating to such Holder furnished in
writing to Tetra Tech by such Holder expressly for use therein, provided that in
--------
no event shall the aggregate liability of any selling Holder of Registrable
Securities exceed the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon
the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification
obligation. Tetra Tech and the selling Holders shall be entitled to receive
indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar
securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same
extent as customarily furnished by such persons in similar circumstances.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled
--------------------------------------
to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying
party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii)
permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any
-------- -------
person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have
9.
the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such
claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
person and not of the indemnifying party unless (A) the indemnifying party has
agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have
failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such person or (C) in the reasonable judgment of such person and
the indemnifying party, based upon advice of their respective counsel, a
conflict of interest may exist between such person and the indemnifying party
with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the
indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel
at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have
the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person). If
such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent
(but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnified party will
be required to consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by all
claimants or plaintiffs to such indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Any indemnifying party who is
not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties
indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim. As used in
this Section 7(c), the terms "indemnifying party", "indemnified party" and other
------------
terms of similar import are intended to include only Tetra Tech (and its
officers, directors and control persons as set forth above) on the one hand, and
the Holders (and their officers, directors, partners, employees, attorneys and
control persons as set forth above) on the other hand, as applicable.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is
------------
unavailable, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the
indemnified party on the other, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
----------
above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the
indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the
indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other but
also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount such Holder would have been required to pay to an indemnified party if
the indemnity under Section 7(b) hereof was available. No person guilty of
------------
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligation of any person to
contribute pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall be several and not joint.
------------
(e) Timing of Payments. An indemnifying party shall make
------------------
payments of all amounts required to be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this
10.
Section 7 to or for the account of the indemnified party from time to time
---------
promptly upon receipt of bills or invoices relating thereto or when otherwise
due or payable.
(f) Survival. The indemnity and contribution agreements
--------
contained in this Section 7 shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of
---------
any investigation made by or on behalf of a participating Holder, its officers,
directors, partners, attorneys, agents or any person, if any, who controls such
Holder as aforesaid, and shall survive the transfer of such Registrable
Securities by such Holder.
8. Preparation; Reasonable Investigation. In connection with the
-------------------------------------
preparation and filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement:
(a) Tetra Tech shall, with respect to a Registration Statement
filed pursuant to Section 3, give the Holders of such Registrable Securities so
---------
registered, their underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and
accountants the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such
Registration Statement (other than reports and proxy statements incorporated
therein by reference and lawfully and properly filed with the SEC) and each
Prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC, and each amendment thereof or
supplement thereto; and
(b) Tetra Tech shall give the Holders of such Registrable
Securities so registered, their underwriters, if any, and their respective
counsel and accountants such reasonable access to its books and records and such
opportunities to discuss the business of Tetra Tech with its officers and the
independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as
shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders or such underwriters, to
conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11(b)(3) of the
Securities Act.
9. Rule 144. Tetra Tech covenants that it will use commercially
--------
reasonable efforts to file, on a timely basis, the reports required to be filed
by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and it will take such further action
as any Holder may reasonably request (including, without limitation, compliance
with the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) and Rule 144A),
all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the conditions provided by Rule 144, Rule 144A or any similar rule
or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder,
Tetra Tech will deliver to such holder a written statement verifying that it has
complied with such information and requirements.
10. Specific Performance. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled
--------------------
to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of
damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this
Agreement. Tetra Tech agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a
11.
breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the
defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
11. Notices. All notices and other communications required or
-------
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by United States
first-class mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or delivered personally by
hand or nationally recognized courier addressed (a) if to a Holder, as indicated
on the list of Holders attached hereto as Schedule A, or at such other address
----------
as such Holder or permitted assignee shall have furnished to Tetra Tech in
writing, or (b) if to Tetra Tech, at such address or facsimile number as Tetra
Tech shall have furnished to each Holder in writing. All such notices and other
written communications shall be effective on the date of mailing, facsimile
transfer or delivery.
12. Successors and Assigns: Assignment of Rights. The rights and
--------------------------------------------
benefits of a Holder hereunder may not be assigned to a transferee or assignee,
without the consent of Tetra Tech; provided, however, that, no later than the
-------- -------
10th day prior to the filing of the Registration Statement under Section 3
---------
hereof, the rights and benefits of a Holder hereunder may be transferred in
connection with a transfer or assignment of any Registrable Securities held by
such Holder (i) by gift to immediate family members of such Holder, or trusts or
other entities for the sole benefit thereof, or (ii) by gift to any entity in
which such Holder, his or her immediate family members, or trusts or other
entities for the sole benefit thereof beneficially own all of the voting
securities; provided, however, that in each case, the transferee executes an
-------- -------
instrument pursuant to which the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and
conditions hereof as a Holder, and such other documents as Tetra Tech or its
counsel may reasonably require, after which, such transferee shall be deemed a
"Holder" hereunder. Any transfer of Registrable Securities, and rights
hereunder, shall be subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and
the restrictions contained in the Investment Letter executed by each Holder
pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
13. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
------------
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
14. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement, the
-----------------------------------
Reorganization Agreement and the other agreements contemplated thereby
constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties
with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof. Without limiting the foregoing,
the rights of the Holders to registration pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be subject to the limitations on resale contained in the
Investment Letter (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement). Neither this
Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated,
except by a written instrument signed by Tetra Tech and the holders of at least
51% of the Registrable Securities and any such amendment, waiver, discharge or
termination shall be
12.
binding upon all the parties hereto, but in no event shall the obligation of any
party hereto be materially increased, except upon the written consent of such
party.
15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be original, and all of which together shall
constitute one instrument.
16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
-------------
in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
17. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The covenants and agreements set
----------------------------
forth herein are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns and such covenants and agreements shall
not be construed as conferring, and are not intended to confer, any rights or
benefits upon any other persons.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the day and year first above written.

Investment Letter
-----------------
June 11, 1997
Tetra Tech, Inc.
630 N. Rosemead Boulevard
Pasadena, California 91107-2190
Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to that certain Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated as of June 11, 1997 (the "Reorganization Agreement") among
the undersigned, Tetra Tech, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Tetra Tech"), Whalen
& Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("WhalenCo"), and Whalen Service Corps
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Whalen Service") (WhalenCo and Whalen Service are
sometimes referred to collectively as the "Whalen Companies"). Pursuant to the
Agreement, the Whalen Companies will be merged with and into Tetra Tech (the
"Merger").
Pursuant to the Agreement and the Merger, the undersigned will receive
shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Tetra Tech ("Tetra Tech
Common Stock") and shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share,
of Tetra Tech ("Tetra Tech Preferred Stock") (Tetra Tech Common Stock and Tetra
Tech Preferred Stock are sometimes referred to collectively as "Tetra Tech
Capital Stock") which have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act"). The undersigned will receive such shares of Tetra Tech
Capital Stock in exchange for shares owned by the undersigned of (i) common
stock, par value $1.00 per share, of WhalenCo ("WC Common Stock") and (ii)
common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Whalen Service ("WS Common Stock").
The sale and issuance of shares of Tetra Tech Capital Stock to the undersigned
pursuant to the Agreement will not be registered under the Act.
In order to permit Tetra Tech and its counsel to determine that the
undersigned's execution of the Agreement satisfies the requirements of Section
4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Act, the undersigned
represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
Tetra Tech, Inc.
June 11, 1997
Page 2
1. The undersigned shall not make any sale, transfer or other
disposition of Tetra Tech Capital Stock in violation of the Act or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").
2. The undersigned has carefully read this letter and the Agreement
and discussed the requirements of such documents and other applicable
limitations upon the undersigned's ability to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of Tetra Tech Capital Stock, to the extent the undersigned felt
necessary, with counsel for the Companies.
3. The undersigned has been advised that because the sale and
issuance of the shares of Tetra Tech Capital Stock being issued under the
Agreement have not been registered under the Act, and because the distribution
by the undersigned of Tetra Tech Capital Stock has not been registered under the
Act, the undersigned may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Tetra Tech
Capital Stock issued to the undersigned pursuant to the Agreement unless (i)
such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Act, (ii)
such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the volume
and other limitations of Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the Act,
or (iii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Tetra Tech, such
sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise exempt from registration under
the Act.
4. The undersigned has received and carefully read the documents
provided by Tetra Tech pursuant to Section 5.5 of the Agreement, and understands

Re: Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated June 11, 1997 by and
among Tetra Tech, Inc., Whalen & Company, Inc., Whalen Service
Corps Inc., and the Stockholders named therein (the "Agreement")
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Tetra Tech, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Tetra Tech"), in connection with the merger of Whalen & Company, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("WhalenCo"), and Whalen Service Corps Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Whalen Service"), with and into Tetra Tech pursuant to the
Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. This opinion is rendered
pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(ii).
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the following
documents:
(a) an originally executed counterpart of the Agreement;
(b) an originally executed Certificate of Merger;
(c) an originally executed counterpart of the Noncompetition
Agreement;
(d) an originally executed counterpart of the Registration Rights
Agreement;
(e) an originally executed counterpart of the Employment Agreement;
Whalen & Company, Inc.

and their Stockholders
June 11, 1997
Page 2
(f) the Certificate of Incorporation of Tetra Tech and all amendments
thereto, including but not limited to the Certificate of Designation, and the
Bylaws of Tetra Tech, Inc. and all amendments thereto;
(g) the Articles of Incorporation of HSI GeoTrans, Inc., a Virginia
corporation ("HSI GeoTrans"), and all amendments thereto, and the Bylaws of HSI
GeoTrans and all amendments thereto;
(h) the Certificate of Incorporation of Tetra Tech EM Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("EMI"), and all amendments thereto, and the Bylaws of EMI and all
amendments thereto;
(i) the Articles of Incorporation of KCM, Inc., a Washington
corporation ("KCM"), and all amendments thereto, and the Bylaws of KCM and all
amendments thereto; and
(j) a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors of Tetra Tech authorizing the execution and delivery by Tetra Tech of
the Agreement and all other documents executed and delivered by Tetra Tech in
connection therewith and the transactions contemplated thereby.
We have also examined such other documents as we have deemed necessary
or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below. In our examination,
we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all
natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,
the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such
copies. As to any facts relevant to this opinion, we have relied upon
certificates, statements and representations of Tetra Tech and certificates and
other advices of public officials.
We have also assumed, for purposes of the opinions expressed herein,
that each of WhalenCo and Whalen Service, and each of the Stockholders, as
applicable, has the power, authority and capacity to enter into and perform the
Agreement, the Noncompetition Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and
the Employment Agreement, as applicable, and that the Agreement, the
Noncompetition Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Employment
Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of WhalenCo
and Whalen Service, and each of the Stockholders, as
Whalen & Company, Inc.
Whalen Service Corps Inc.
and their Stockholders
June 11, 1997
Page 3
applicable, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of
WhalenCo and Whalen Service, and each of the Stockholders, as applicable,
enforceable against each of them, as applicable, in accordance with their
respective terms.
We have investigated such questions of law for the purposes of
rendering this opinion as we have deemed necessary. We are attorneys duly
admitted and qualified to practice in the State of California and we are only
opining herein as to the effect on the subject transactions of United States
federal law, the law of the State of California and the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation Law"), as such laws are in effect on
the date of this opinion. We are not opining on, and assume no responsibility
as to, the applicability to or the effect on any of the matters covered herein
of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We note that the Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement provide that they shall be governed by, and
construed and interpreted in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws, and that we are not
opining herein under the laws of the State of Delaware (other than the
Corporation Law). Accordingly, we are delivering the opinion expressed in
paragraph 2 assuming that the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
are governed by the internal laws of the State of California (without giving
effect to conflict of law principles). In particular, we express no opinion
with respect to (i) state securities or "blue sky" laws, or (ii) federal or
state antifraud laws (whether arising under federal or state securities laws or
otherwise). In our opinion expressed in paragraph 1 with respect to foreign
qualifications, we have relied solely upon certain standard compilations of the
applicable statutes of states other than California which we believe are current
and which may be subject to judicial or regulatory interpretations and
modifications, and such opinions are expressly qualified to the extent that such
compilations are not fully current or do not reflect such judicial or regulatory
interpretations or modifications. The opinions set forth herein are given as of
the date hereof, and we assume no responsibility to update such opinions for
events that may occur after such date.
On the basis of the foregoing and in reliance thereon, we are of the
opinion that:
1. Each of Tetra Tech and each of HSI GeoTrans, EMI and KCM (each,
a "Significant Subsidiary" as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation and has the requisite corporate power and
authority to own, lease and operate its properties, and to carry on its
Whalen & Company, Inc.
Whalen Service Corps Inc.
and their Stockholders
June 11, 1997
Page 4
business as such is now being conducted. Each of Tetra Tech and each
Significant Subsidiary is duly qualified to transact business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of its business makes such
qualification necessary, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to be
so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations or business of Tetra Tech and its subsidiaries,
considered as a whole (a "Material Adverse Effect").
2. Tetra Tech has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver the Agreement and the Certificate of Merger, and the
Employment Agreement, the Noncompetition Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement (collectively, the "Related Agreements"), and to consummate the
transactions and to perform its obligations contemplated thereby. Tetra Tech
has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution and delivery
of the Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the Related Agreements, the
performance of its obligations thereunder and the consummation of the Merger
pursuant thereto. Pursuant to Section 251(f) of the Corporation Law, and in
reliance upon a statement by U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, Tetra Tech's
transfer agent, as to the number of shares of Tetra Tech Common Stock
outstanding on June 2, 1997, the vote of the stockholders of Tetra Tech is not
required in connection with the Merger. Each of the Agreement and the Related
Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by Tetra Tech and each is the
valid and binding obligation of Tetra Tech, enforceable against Tetra Tech in
accordance with its respective terms.
3. The authorized capital stock of Tetra Tech is as set forth in
Section 5.2 of the Agreement. All of the outstanding shares of Tetra Tech
Common Stock are duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. To the best of our knowledge, except for (i) the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement, (ii) stock options granted or to be granted to
Tetra Tech's officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors pursuant
to any Tetra Tech stock option plan listed on the Tetra Tech Disclosure
Schedule, or (iii) shares to be issued under Tetra Tech's Employee Stock
Purchase Plan, there are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible debt or
securities, calls, agreements, arrangements, commitments, understandings or
other rights to purchase any of Tetra Tech's capital stock, or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for any such capital stock. The shares of
Tetra Tech Common Stock and Tetra Tech Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to
the Agreement will, upon the effectiveness of the Certificate of Designation and
the Certificate of Merger, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

4. The execution and delivery by Tetra Tech of the Agreement, the
Certificate of Merger and the Related Agreements, and the consummation by Tetra
Tech of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not (i) violate any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Tetra Tech, (ii)
violate, or be in conflict with, or constitute a default (or other event which,
with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default)
under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration
under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, any material lease,
license, promissory note, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other
instrument or document known to us to which Tetra Tech is a party or by which
Tetra Tech or any of its properties or assets may be bound, (iii) violate any
order, writ, injunction or decree known to us, or any law, statute, rule or
regulation of the State of California, the United States or the Corporation Law
applicable to Tetra Tech or any of its properties or assets, or (iv) to the best
of our knowledge, give rise to a declaration or imposition of any claim, lien,
charge, security interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of
the assets of Tetra Tech's businesses, except for such violations, conflicts,
breaches, liens, charges or encumbrances referred to in clauses (ii) through
(iv) above as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
5. No approvals or consents by, or filings with, any federal,
state, municipal, foreign or other court or governmental or administrative body,
agency or other third party is required in connection with the execution and
delivery by Tetra Tech of the Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the
Related Agreements, as applicable, or the consummation by Tetra Tech of the
transactions contemplated thereby, except for (i) the filing of the Certificate
of Designation and Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State,
(ii) the filing required under the HSR Act, and (iii) those approvals, consents
and filings which, if not obtained, would not have a material adverse impact on
the ability of Tetra Tech to perform its business as currently conducted or on
the ability of Tetra Tech to execute and deliver the Agreement, the Certificate
of Merger and the Related Agreements, as applicable, or to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereby.
6. To the best of our knowledge, there is no pending or threatened
action, suit, arbitration proceeding, investigation or inquiry before any court
or governmental or administrative body or agency, or any private arbitration
tribunal, against, relating to or affecting (i) Tetra Tech or any director,
officer or employee of Tetra Tech in his or her capacity as such, or the assets,
properties or business of Tetra Tech, which would, if decided adversely, have a
Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

7. Pursuant to the terms of the Corporation Law, the Certificate of
Merger is in a form suitable for filing in the Office of the Delaware Secretary
of State, and upon filing and acceptance of the Certificate of Merger in such
office, the Merger will be effective under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Our opinions expressed in paragraph 2 are subject to and limited by
the following:
(i) the effect of (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent
transfer and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally, and (B) principles of equity, regardless of whether the
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity;
(ii) the effect of court decisions, invoking statutes or
principles of equity, which have held that certain covenants and
provisions of agreements are unenforceable where enforcement of such
covenants or provisions under the circumstances would violate the
enforcing party's implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing or
which subject the enforceability of such covenants or provisions
under such circumstances to notions of materiality, reasonableness or
impairment of security;
(iii) the enforceability under certain circumstances of
any provision in any document expressly or by implication waiving
broadly or vaguely stated rights, unknown future rights, or defenses
to obligations or rights granted by law, when such waivers are
against public policy or prohibited by law;
(iv) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of
any provision in any document to the effect that rights or remedies
are not exclusive, that rights or remedies may be exercised without
notice, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised
in addition to or with any other right or remedy, that election of a
particular remedy or remedies does not preclude recourse to one or
more remedies, or that failure to exercise or delay in exercising
rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or
remedy;

June 11, 1997

(v) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of any
provision in any document indemnifying a party against, or requiring
contributions toward, that party's liability for its own wrongful or
negligent acts, or where indemnification or contribution is contrary
to public policy;
(vi) the unenforceability of any provision in any document
relating to payment or reimbursement of attorneys' fees in excess of
statutory limits or an amount determined to be reasonable by any
court or other tribunal;
(vii) the effect on enforceability of rights and remedies
resulting from certain procedural requirements, such as statutes of
limitation, the required format and timing of service of process,
court filings, recordation and notices which must meet the minimum
statutory requirements; and
(viii) the unenforceability of any provisions regarding
covenants not to compete which conflict with Section 16600 et seq. of
the California Business and Professions Code relating to the
invalidity of contracts by which a party is restrained from engaging
in a lawful profession, trade or business of any kind.
As used in this opinion, the expression "to the best of our
knowledge," "known to us" or similar language with reference to matters of fact
means that, during the course of our representation of Tetra Tech, no
information that would give us current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of
such statement has come to our attention. Further, the expression "to the best
of our knowledge," "known to us" or similar language with reference to matters
of fact refers to the current actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who
have worked on matters for Tetra Tech solely in connection with the Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby. Except to the extent expressly set
forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine
the existence or absence of any fact, and no inference as to our knowledge of
the existence or absence of any fact should be drawn from our representation of
Tetra Tech or the rendering of the opinions set forth herein.
We advise you that certain principals and other persons associated
with this firm own shares of Tetra Tech Common Stock.
