Item 6.
  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
  Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     The Issuer’s executive officers, directors and the holders of substantially all of the Shares issued prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering signed lock-up agreements under which they agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, hedge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, for a period of 90 days after December 9, 2004. UBS Securities LLC, in its sole discretion, may release some or all of these Shares before the 90-day lockup period ends. This description of the lock-up agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lock-Up Agreements entered into between Fund VII, Friends Fund VII, Mr. Liebeck and the Issuer, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 2 and 3.

     Certain of the Issuer’s stockholders hold rights to cause the Issuer to register the sale of their Shares under the Securities Act of 1933. These Shares are referred to as registrable securities. A holder or holders of at least a majority of the registrable securities may require the Issuer to prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act at the Issuer’s expense covering all or a portion of the registrable securities if the Shares to be included in that registration will generate anticipated aggregate net proceeds of at least $5.0 million. Registration rights terminate no later than five years after the Issuer’s initial public offering. Registration of these Shares under the Securities Act would result in these Shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. This Registration Rights Agreement was amended to amend and clarify the operative dates relating to the registration and share sale restriction processes. This description of the Registration Rights Agreement, as amended, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement entered into between LECG Holding Company, LLC, TCEP/LECG Funding Corporation, David J. Teece, David Kaplan, Frog & Peach Investors, LLC and other persons, and the amendment thereto, copies of which have been incorporated herein by reference to Exhibits 4 and 5.
