A G R E E M E N T
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement, the following terms
shall have the following respective meanings:
"EXCHANGE ACT" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended from time to time.
"FORM S-3" shall mean such form under the Securities Act as in
effect on the date hereof or any successor registration form under the
Securities Act subsequently adopted by the SEC which permits inclusion or
incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed
by Tetra Tech with the SEC.
"PROSPECTUS" shall mean the prospectus included in any Registration
Statement, as amended or supplemented by any prospectus supplement, with respect
to the terms of the offering of any portion of the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement and by all other amendments and
supplements to the prospectus, including post-effective amendments and all
material incorporated by reference in such Prospectus.
"REGISTER", "REGISTERED" and "REGISTRATION" shall mean and refer to
a registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement and

therewith, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such Registration
Statement by the SEC.

SECTION 4.
"REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" shall mean the shares of Tetra Tech Common
Stock (i) issued pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, and (ii) issued as a
dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in
replacement of the shares referenced in (i) above; provided, however, that
Registrable Securities shall not include any shares of Tetra Tech Common Stock
that have previously been registered or sold to the public or have been sold
pursuant to Rule 144 ( or similar successor Rule).
"REGISTRATION STATEMENT" shall mean any registration statement of
Tetra Tech in compliance with the Securities Act that covers Registrable

2
<PAGE>
"UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING" shall mean a registration in which
securities of Tetra Tech are sold to an underwriter or through an underwriter as
agent for reoffering to the public.
2. REGISTRATION FOR HOLDERS.
(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. Tetra Tech
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement
to become effective on or before January 21, 2001, subject to review by the SEC,
and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for a period
ending on the date on which all such Holders are eligible to sell Registrable
Securities under Rule 144 (or similar successor rule) without any volume
limitation. Tetra Tech represents and warrants that it is currently eligible to
file a Registration Statement on Form S-3. However, if, at the time Tetra Tech
is required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to this SECTION 3(a),
Tetra Tech is not eligible to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to
register resales by stockholders, Tetra Tech shall initially file a Registration
Statement on Form S-1 and shall comply with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence. Upon becoming eligible to use the Registration Statement on
Form S-3 to register resales by stockholders (whether pursuant to a ruling or
waiver from the SEC or otherwise), Tetra Tech shall promptly file a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 or convert the existing Registration Statement to Form S-3
relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by the Holders from
time to time. Thereafter, Tetra Tech shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause such new or amended Registration Statement to be declared effective by
the SEC as promptly as practicable.
(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 reasonably requests in connection with such Registration
Statement.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period not to exceed 90
days, Tetra Tech shall not be obligated to prepare and file the Registration
Statement required hereunder if Tetra Tech, in its good faith judgment,
reasonably believes that the filing 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
(i) a pending or scheduled public offering or private placement of securities of
Tetra Tech, (ii) an acquisition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction by
or of Tetra Tech, (iii) preexisting and continuing negotiations, discussions or
pending proposals with respect to any of the foregoing transactions, or (iv) the
financial condition of Tetra Tech in view of the disclosure of any pending or
3
<PAGE>
threatened litigation, claim, assessment or governmental investigation which
might be required thereby.
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.
In the event of any delay in the filing of the Registration Statement
pursuant to this subparagraph (c), Tetra Tech will effect such filing as soon as
practicable.
3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with Tetra Tech's
registration obligations pursuant to SECTION 2 hereof, Tetra Tech will use
commercially reasonable 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 commercially reasonable
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;
(c) 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
4
<PAGE>
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 commercially reasonable effort to obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement at the earliest possible moment;
(e) 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;
(f) 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
commercially 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 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;
(g) cooperate with the selling Holders 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 Holders may request;
(h) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by SECTION 3(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
5
<PAGE>
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading;
(i) 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) 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;
(j) 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;
(k) 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; and
(l) 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
(m) 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 3(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 3(h) 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 3 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.

4. 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 and disbursements of one counsel and one accountant
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.
5. 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, (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
7
<PAGE>
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 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
8
<PAGE>
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 fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party
or by such indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. The parties acknowledge and agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this SECTION 5(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into
account the equitable considerations referred to in this SECTION 5(d).
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 5(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 5(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
SECTION 5 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 5 shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of Tetra Tech, a participating Holder, its
officers, directors, partners, attorneys, agents or any person, if any, who
controls Tetra Tech or such Holder as aforesaid, and shall survive the transfer
of such Registrable Securities by such Holder.
6. PREPARATION; REASONABLE INVESTIGATION. In connection with the
preparation and filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement:
9
<PAGE>
(a) Tetra Tech shall, with respect to a Registration Statement filed
pursuant to SECTION 2, 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 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.
7. 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 promptly deliver to such Holder a written statement verifying
that it has complied with such information and requirements.
8. 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 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.
9. 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
10
<PAGE>
Holder in writing. All such notices and other written communications shall be
effective on the date of mailing, facsimile transfer or delivery.
10. 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 2
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.
11. 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.
12. 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 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.
13. 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.
14. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
11
<PAGE>
15. 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.
