(if performance based):

This Restricted Stock Agreement is between Tetra Tech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and you, the Participant named above, as an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

The Company wishes to award to you shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), subject to certain restrictions as provided in this Agreement, in order to carry out the purpose of the Tetra Tech, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and you hereby agree as follows:

1.Award of Restricted Stock.

The Company hereby grants to you, effective as of the Grant Date indicated above, an Award of Restricted Stock for that number of shares of Common Stock indicated above (the “Shares”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

2.Rights with Respect to the Shares.

With respect to the Shares, you shall be entitled effective as of the Grant Date to exercise the rights of a stockholder of Common Stock of the Company, including the right to vote the Shares and the right, subject to Section 8(b) below, to receive dividends on the Shares, unless and until the Shares are forfeited under Section 5 below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall be subject to the transfer restrictions in Section 6 below.  Your rights with respect to the Shares shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date or dates on which such rights become vested under this Agreement.

3.Vesting.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Shares shall become vested in the amount or amounts set forth herein if you remain continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary until the respective date or dates described in this Agreement.  Vesting or becoming vested entitles you to transfer your Shares, and to retain your Shares after termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, subject to Section 10 below.  Shares that vest under this Agreement are referred to as “Vested Shares.”

4.Change in Control.

In the event of a Change in Control while you are employed hereunder, all of your Shares, to the extent then unvested, shall immediately prior to such Change in Control become Vested Shares.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 10.1 of the Plan.

5.Forfeiture.

Your rights to Shares that become Vested Shares shall not be subject to forfeiture.  Your rights to Shares that are not Vested Shares shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited upon your termination of employment, including the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive cash dividends on such Shares as provided in Section 8(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if your employment terminates due to death or Disability, your Shares, to the extent not then vested, will immediately become Vested Shares.  No transfer by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution of any Shares which vest by reason of your death or Disability shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee administering the Plan shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer and a copy of the will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer.

“Employment” covered under this Agreement shall mean the performance of services for the Company or a Subsidiary as an employee for federal income tax purposes.  You shall be deemed to have terminated employment either upon an actual termination of service with the Company or a Subsidiary, or at the time that the Subsidiary with which you are employed ceases to be a Subsidiary under the terms of the Plan, provided that you are not employed immediately thereafter by the Company.  Your employment with the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have terminated if you take any military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company or the Subsidiary, as applicable, regardless of whether pay is suspended during such leave.

6.Transfer Restrictions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 and 3 of this Agreement, the Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by you (collectively, the “Transfer Restrictions”) during the period commencing on the Grant Date and terminating at the end of the Restricted Period.  The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to accelerate the time at which any or all of the Transfer Restrictions shall lapse with respect to any Shares, or to remove any or all such restrictions, whenever the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate by reason of any changes in circumstances occurring after the commencement of the Restricted Period.

7.Issuance and Custody of Certificates.

(a)The Company shall cause the Shares to be issued in your name, either by book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company.  The Shares shall be restricted from transfer during the Restricted Period and shall be subject to an appropriate stop-transfer order.  If any certificate is issued, the certificate shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to the Shares.

(b)If any certificate is issued, you shall be required to execute and deliver to the Company a stock power or stock powers relating to the Shares.

(c)Upon vesting, the Company shall promptly cause your Vested Shares (less any Shares that may have been withheld to pay taxes) to be delivered to you, free of the restrictions and/or legend described in Section 7(a) hereof, either by book-entry registration or in the form of a certificate or certificates, registered in your name or in the names of your legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as applicable.

8.Distributions and Adjustments.

(a)If any Shares vest subsequent to any change in the number or character of the Common Stock without additional consideration paid to the Company (through any stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or otherwise), you shall then receive upon such vesting the number and type of securities or other consideration which you would have received if such Shares had vested prior to the event changing the number or character of the outstanding Common Stock.

(b)Unless the Committee determines otherwise, payment of any cash dividend, additional shares of Common Stock, any other securities of the Company and any other property distributed with respect to the Shares shall be deferred until such shares become Vested Shares (and shall be subject to forfeiture upon forfeiture under Section 5 above of any unvested Shares to which such deferred dividends relate).  Any deferred payments under this Section 8(b) shall be held by the Company on your behalf and, to the extent practicable, shall be reinvested in Common Stock.  The dividends allocable to the Shares shall be paid to you (without interest) upon the vesting date for such shares.

9.Taxes.

(a)You acknowledge that you will consult with your personal tax advisor regarding the federal, state and local tax consequences of the grant of the Shares, payment of dividends on the Shares, the vesting of the Shares and any other matters related to this Agreement.  You are relying solely on your advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.  You understand that you are responsible for your own tax liability that may arise as a result of this grant of the Shares or any other matters related to this Agreement.  You understand that Section 83 of the Code treats as taxable ordinary income the fair market value of the Shares as of the date the Shares vest hereunder.  Alternatively, you understand that you may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are granted rather than when the Shares vest hereunder by filing an election

3

under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the Grant Date.

(b)In order to comply with all applicable federal, state or local income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all income and payroll taxes, which are your sole and absolute responsibility, are withheld or collected from you at the minimum required withholding rate.

(c)In accordance with the terms of the Plan, and such rules as may be adopted by the Committee administering the Plan, you may elect to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations arising from the receipt of, or the lapse of restrictions relating to, the Shares (including property attributable to the Shares described in Section 8(b) above) by:

(i)delivering cash (including check, draft, money order or wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company),

(ii)having the Company withhold a portion of the Vested Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes, or

(iii)delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes.  The Company will not deliver any fractional Share but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share.  Your election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

10.General Provisions.
