This statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of the Common Stock,

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
This statement is being filed on behalf of The Union Labor Life
Insurance Company (referred to herein as the "Reporting Person"), which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of ULLICO Inc. Reporting Person is an insurance company
incorporated in the State of Maryland, which is purchasing securities on behalf
of its Separate Account P ("Separate Account P"), a commingled fund available
for investment by qualified pension plans, and ULLICO Inc. is a corporation
incorporated in the State of Maryland. Both Reporting Person and ULLICO Inc.
have their principal place of business and principal office at 111 Massachusetts
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20001. Reporting Person is engaged in the
principal business of insurance and financial services, and Separate Account P
is engaged in the principal business of investing in special situation equity
investments. ULLICO Inc. is a holding company with subsidiaries and affiliates
engaged in the principal businesses of life, health, and property and casualty
insurance, investment services and third party benefits administration.
The names of the executive officers and directors of Reporting Person
and ULLICO Inc., their citizenship and principal occupations are as set forth in
Exhibit 2.1 attached hereto. All of the persons identified in Exhibit 2.1 have
their business address at 111 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C.,
20001.
To the best knowledge of Reporting Person, none of the persons
identified in Exhibit 2.1 has, during the last five years, been (a) convicted in
a criminal proceeding, or (b) a party to any civil proceeding as a result of
which it has been subject to a judgment, decree, final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws, or finding any violation in respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
As described in Item 4, the Reporting Person has agreed, subject to
certain terms and conditions, to purchase Preferred Shares from the Issuer
which, at the time of issuance, will be convertible into Common Shares. The
source of funds for the purchase of Preferred Shares will be funds provided by
the unit holders of Separate Account P.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
The responses to Items 3, 5 and 6 are incorporated herein by this
reference.
Reporting Person, on behalf of Separate Account P, has entered into a
Stock Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of December 13, 1996 (the
"Assignment Agreement"), with PB Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("PB Capital"), and Issuer, under which PB Capital has assigned to
Reporting Person, and Reporting Person assumed, all of PB Capital's rights and
obligations relating to the purchase of between 32,500 and 37,500 Preferred
Shares pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of July 24, 1996
as amended by letter agreements dated August 21, 1996, September 16, 1996,
September 30, 1996 and October 9, 1996, and by the Second Amendment to Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of November 8, 1996 (as amended, the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"), among PB Capital, Issuer and Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P.
("RCBA"). A copy of the Assignment Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.
Copies of the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of July 24, 1996 and
the Second Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 8, 1996
are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2.
<PAGE>
Upon issuance, each Preferred Share will be convertible into
approximately 20.66 Common Shares (subject to adjustment for certain events
under anti-dilution provisions established by a Certificate of Vote of the Board
of Directors of Issuer under which the Preferred Shares are authorized).
Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, PB Capital agreed to purchase from
Issuer 150,150 Preferred Shares. The consummation of the purchase of these
Preferred Shares under the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Transaction") will
lead to the election to the Issuer's Board of Directors of three individuals
designated by PB Capital, and membership of at least one of these three new
directors on each of the committees of the Board of Directors of Issuer, except
for a five person Executive Committee of the Board of Directors on which all of
three new directors will serve. Also, as reflected in the Stock Purchase
Agreement, consummation of the Transaction will lead to the amendment of the
bylaws of Issuer to provide that no action of the Board of Directors on certain
matters may be taken without the prior favorable recommendation of the Executive
Committee and that the Executive Committee will oversee the chief executive
officer of the Issuer. The consummation of the Transaction is subject to
certain significant contingencies set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement,
including approval of the Transaction and bylaw amendment by the holders of
Common Shares of Issuer.
Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of the Common Shares to
which this statement on Schedule 13D relates by virtue of entering into the
Assignment Agreement and thereby becoming a party to the Stock Purchase
Agreement. Upon issuance of the Preferred Shares that Reporting Person has
agreed to purchase, Reporting Person will acquire these Preferred Shares for
investment purposes. Reporting Person, on behalf of Separate Account P, has
entered into a Shareholders Agreement, dated as of December 13, 1996 (the
"Shareholders Agreement"), with PB Capital under which Reporting Person has
agreed to a five-year restriction on the transfer of the Preferred Shares it
acquires from Issuer (and the Common Shares issued upon the conversion of
Preferred Shares), except that in the event PB Capital proposes to sell or
distribute to its partners any Preferred Shares or Common Shares, Reporting
Person will have the right to participate in such sale or, in the case of such a
distribution, to sell Preferred Shares or such Common Shares on a pro rata
basis. A copy of the Shareholders Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3.
As a result of the Shareholders Agreement, Reporting Person and PB
Capital may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as
an admission that Reporting Person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or
13(g) of the Exchange Act (or pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(1) thereunder), the
beneficial owner of any Common Shares that are beneficially owned by PB Capital.
Reporting Person has been informed by PB Capital that pursuant to a
separate agreement, PB Capital will assign its rights and obligations under the
Stock Purchase Agreement with respect to the purchase of 23,300 shares of
Preferred Stock to The Common Fund for Non-Profit Organizations, a New York
corporation ("The Common Fund").
Except as disclosed in this Item 4, Reporting Person and ULLICO Inc.
have no current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the
events described in Items (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
NOTE: Information below regarding PB Capital and its beneficial ownership of
Preferred Shares and Common Shares has been obtained from the statements on
Schedule 13D as have been or may be filed under the Exchange Act by PB Capital.
(a) (i) As of the date of the filing of this statement, based on
information provided to Reporting Person by the Issuer and by PB Capital, after
giving effect to the closing of the Transaction under the Stock Purchase
Agreement and the assignment by PB Capital to The Common Fund described in Item
4, (i) Reporting Person will beneficially own an aggregate of approximately
twenty two and nine hundred seventy seven one thousandths percent (22.977%) of
the total outstanding Preferred Shares, and PB Capital will beneficially own an
aggregate of approximately sixty one and five hundred five one thousandths
percent (61.505%) of the total outstanding Preferred Shares,
<PAGE>
and (ii) assuming exercise of the conversion privilege attendant to these
Preferred Shares, Reporting Person will beneficially own an aggregate of
approximately twelve and seven hundred two one thousandths percent (12.702%),
and PB Capital will beneficially own an aggregate of approximately twenty
eight and thirty one one thousandths percent (28.031%) of the outstanding Common
Shares. The number of shares and percentage of beneficial ownership of Common
Shares is based upon an assumed 4,898,648 Common Shares being outstanding on the
date hereof (as reported by the Issuer) and, in accordance with Rule 13d-
3(d)(1)(i), for each of Reporting Person and PB Capital that the number of
Common Shares and percentage of beneficial ownership assumes beneficial
ownership of the number of Common Shares underlying the Preferred Shares that
are beneficially owned by such holder.
(ii) As a result of the Shareholders Agreement, Reporting Person and
PB Capital may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-
5 under the Exchange Act. Based upon the assumptions appearing in paragraph
(a)(i) of this Item 5, if such group exists it would be deemed to beneficially
own an aggregate of approximately eighty four and four hundred eighty two one
thousandths percent (84.482%) of the Preferred Shares and an aggregate of
approximately thirty four and eight hundred fifty three one thousandths percent
(34.853%) of the outstanding Common Shares.
(b) (i) Except as discussed in Item 4, the power to direct the
disposition and voting of the Shares held by Reporting Person is vested in its
officers.
(ii) Except as discussed in Item 4, Reporting Person has been informed
by PB Capital that the power to direct the disposition and voting of the
Preferred Shares and Common Shares held by PB Capital is vested as follows:
RCBA is the sole general partner of PB Capital. Richard C. Blum &
Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("RCBA Inc."), is the sole general
partner of RCBA. Richard C. Blum is the Chairman and a substantial Shareholder
of RCBA Inc. Because of the foregoing organizational structure, each of PB
Capital, RCBA, RCBA Inc. and Richard C. Blum are beneficial owners of the
Preferred Shares and Common Shares owned directly by PB Capital.
Ronald Tutor ("Tutor") has had discussions with RCBA about being one
of the investors in PB Capital, possibly serving as one of PB Capital's
designees to the Board of Directors of Issuer. Tutor is the president of Tutor-
Saliba Corp., which is the owner of approximately 351,318 Common Shares or
approximately 7.4% of the outstanding Common Shares. Tutor-Saliba Corp. has
sole voting and dispositive control over those shares and no voting or
dispositive control over the Preferred Shares or Common Shares owned by PB
Capital. Although there is no formal agreement, written or oral, regarding the
acquisition, disposition or voting of the securities of the Issuer as between PB
Capital, Tutor or Tutor-Saliba Corp., PB Capital and Tutor expect that they will
be consulting with each other and thus they and Tutor-Saliba Corp. may, for some
purposes, be deemed to be members of a group with respect to the Issuer. As
Chairman, director and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum
might be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned
by RCBA Inc.
(c) Except as disclosed in Item 3, neither Reporting Person nor any
other person disclosed in response to Item 2 has effected any transactions in
the Preferred Shares or Common Shares in the past sixty days.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERTAKINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Reference is made to Item 4 for a description of the Assignment
Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement.
Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, for two years after the date of
closing of the Transaction, Reporting Person, PB Capital and RCBA have agreed
not to purchase any securities of Issuer, or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for such securities, except for: securities purchased or exchanged
pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, securities issued by the
Issuer pursuant
<PAGE>
to stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations, securities purchased by
any broker-dealer affiliate of Reporting Person, PB Capital or RCBA for the
account of any unaffiliated customer, securities issued pursuant to the exercise
of a warrant, option or other right pursuant to a distribution to stockholders
of Issuer or from Issuer directly, or securities issued pursuant to a business
combination between Issuer and an entity which is not an affiliate of Reporting
Person, PB Capital or RCBA.
Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Reporting Person, PB Capital and
RCBA have agreed (i) for two years after the date of the Closing of the
Transaction, not to transfer the Preferred Shares or the Common Shares to any
person that engages in the construction business in competition with the
business of Issuer, and (ii) after two years after the date of the Closing of
the Transaction, to allow Issuer the right of first refusal to purchase (under
certain circumstances) the Preferred Shares purchased pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement or the Common Shares into which they may be converted.
Reporting Person, on behalf of Separate Account P, and RCBA have
entered into a Services Agreement dated as of December 13, 1996 (the "Services
Agreement") under which Reporting Person has agreed to pay RCBA certain fees for
services rendered by RCBA in finding and structuring Reporting Person's
investment in the Preferred Shares and providing quarterly reports on the
performance of the Preferred Shares. Additionally, RCBA agrees to share with
Reporting Person certain transaction fees, if any, earned by it with respect to
the Preferred Shares and to have PB Capital reimburse Reporting Person for
certain expenses incurred by Reporting Person in making its investment in the
Preferred Shares. Additionally, Reporting Person agrees to bear its pro rata
share of the transaction and due diligence expenses incurred by PB Capital or
RCBA to the extent not reimbursed by Issuer for these expenses. A copy of the
Services Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 6.1.
It is expected that prior to the closing of the Transaction, Reporting
Person, on behalf of Separate Account P, PB Capital and Issuer will enter into a
Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") under which
the Issuer has agreed, among other things, upon the request of the holders of a
majority of the Preferred Shares to prepare and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a registration statement for an offering to be made on a
delayed or continuing basis with respect to the Common Shares or other
securities issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. A copy of the
proposed form of Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit
6.2.
It is further expected that prior to the closing of the Transaction,
Reporting Person, on behalf of Separate Account P, PB Capital, Issuer, The
Common Fund and the holders of certain warrants to purchase shares of common
stock of the Issuer (the "Initial Warrantholders") will enter into a
Securityholders Agreement (the "Securityholders Agreement") under which
Reporting Person, PB Capital and The Common Fund, on the one hand, and the
Initial Warrantholders, on the other hand, have agreed, among other things, that
each of them may participate in a distribution in an underwritten offering under
a shelf registration of certain securities by the other, and that each of them
may under certain circumstances require the other to become subject to a lockup
period with respect to the sale of securities of Issuer. A copy of the proposed
form of Securityholders Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 6.3.
Except as set forth above, and as described in Items 3 and 4 hereto,
the Reporting Person and all other persons listed in Item 2 do not have any
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to any
securities of the issuer.

STOCK ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
-----------------------------------------
This Stock Assignment and Assumption Agreement ("Assignment Agreement") is
entered into this 13th day of December 1996, by and among PB Capital Partners,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Assignor"), The Union Labor Life
Insurance Company Separate Account P ("Assignee") and Perini Corporation
("Seller").
WHEREAS, Assignor is a party to a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement by and
among Assignor, Seller, and Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P., dated July 24,
1996, together with all exhibits and schedules thereto and all amendments and
modifications thereof (collectively referred to as the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"), pursuant to which Assignor agreed to purchase 150,150 shares of
newly issued Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00
per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), of Seller for $30,030,000;
WHEREAS, Assignor wishes to assign to Assignee, and Assignee wishes to
accept assignment from Assignor, (i) all of Assignor's rights and obligations
under the Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase from Seller at least 32,500
shares but not more than 37,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of Seller,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the respective
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions contained

(collectively, the "Assigned Rights").
(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions appearing herein, on the
basis of the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller in the Stock
Purchase Agreement, Assignee hereby accepts the foregoing assignment and

(3) Except as hereinafter provided, wherever in the Stock Purchase
Agreement there is any reference to "Purchaser", as defined in the Stock

(5) If Seller requires that Assignee provide an opinion of counsel to

(a) The Assignee has the full corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Assignment Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement as they
relate to the purchase of the Assigned Shares of Series B
Preferred Stock. The Assignee has taken all action required by
law, its charter, its by-laws or otherwise required to be taken
by it to authorize the execution and delivery of this Assignment
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
to be performed by it under the Assignment Agreement and the
Stock Purchase Agreement.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
Assignee (a) has been duly approved by all required corporate
action, (b) will not violate, conflict with, result in a breach
of or constitute a default (with or without notice or passage of
time, or both) under (i) the articles of incorporation, charter,
or by-laws or any governing document of the Assignee, (ii) any
indenture, agreement or other instrument to which Assignee is a
party or by which any of its property may be bound, (iii) any
judgment, order, decree, award or ruling, or (iv) any federal,
state or local law, rule or regulation. No consent, authorization
or approval of, or declaration, filing or registration with, or
exemption by, any governmental or regulatory authority is
required to be obtained by Assignee in connection with the
execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Assignee of
its obligations under, this Assignment Agreement or Stock
Purchase Agreement or the consummation by the Assignee of the
transactions to be performed by it as contemplated hereby and
thereby.

of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Series
B Preferred Stock, (b) fully understands the nature, scope and
duration of the limitations on transfer contained in the Stock
Purchase Agreement, (c) can bear the economic risk of an

that it
-4-
<PAGE>
has received copies of the documents filed by Seller with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC Documents") filed
with the SEC since January 1, 1996, and a copy of the private
placement memorandum prepared by the Assignor for investors in
limited partnership interests of the Assignor, and (y) that it
has read the documents described in clause (x).
(d) There is no claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation
(whether in law or equity, before or by any government entity or
before any arbitrator) pending or, to the knowledge of the
Assignee, threatened against the Assignee, the outcome of which
would in any manner impair the ability of the Assignee to perform
its obligations under the Assignment Agreement or the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
(e) The Assignee has not entered into, nor will enter into, during
the term of the Assignment Agreement or the Stock Purchase
Agreement, any agreement or understanding with any person or
entity that will result in the obligation of the Seller or
Assignor to pay any finder's fee, brokerage commission or similar
payment in connection with the transactions contemplated in the
Assignment Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement.
(f) The Assignee is financially capable and has, or will have at the
time of purchasing the Series B Preferred Stock, sufficient cash
and other resources available to complete the transactions
contemplated by the Assignment Agreement and Stock Purchase
Agreement.
(g) The Assignee understands that the Series B Preferred Stock has
not been registered under the Act or under the securities laws of
any state, and, therefore cannot be transferred, resold, pledged,
hypothecated, assigned, or otherwise disposed of unless it is
subsequently registered or qualified under the Act and under
applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from
registration and/or qualification is available. The Assignee will
not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Series B Preferred
Stock without registration under the Act or pursuant to an
exemption therefrom, and understands and agrees that, except as
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Assignor is
not obliged to register or qualify the Series B Preferred Stock

qualification.

benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh plan, or other
tax-exempt entity,
-5-
<PAGE>
such Assignee is authorized and qualified to enter into the
Agreement and invest in securities such as the Series B Preferred
Stock.
(i) If the Assignee holds assets from employee benefit plans (the
"Plans"), the Assignee represents and warrants that: (i) it is a
fiduciary of the Plans; (ii) the Assignee understands the nature
of the investment in the Series B Preferred Stock; and (iii) the
Assignee has given appropriate consideration to the investment in
the Series B Preferred Stock.
(j) The Assignee is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined
under the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated and
pursuant thereto.

hereunder.
(b) There is no claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation
(whether in law or equity, before or by any government entity or

its obligations under the Assignment Agreement or the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
Assignor (a) has been duly approved by all required partner
action, (b) will not violate, conflict with, result in a breach of

Assignor, (ii) the Stock Purchase Agreement, (iii)
-6-
<PAGE>
any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which Assignor is
a party or by which any of its property may be bound, (iv) any
judgment, order, decree, award or ruling or (v) any federal, state
or local law, rule or regulation. No consent, authorization or

delivery of, and the performance by the Assignor of its
obligations under, this Assignment Agreement or Stock Purchase
Agreement or the consummation by the Assignor of the transactions
to be performed by it as contemplated hereby and thereby.
(d) The Assigned Rights (i) constitute the valid and enforceable right
to purchase the Assigned Shares from Seller under and in
accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, free and clear or
all liens, encumbrances charges and restrictions (other than the
restrictions appearing in this Agreement, the Stock Purchase
Agreement, and those imposed by the Act), and (ii) are being
transferred and assigned to Assignor free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, charges and restrictions (other than the
restrictions appearing in this Agreement, the Stock Purchase
Agreement, and those imposed by the Act).
(e) To the Assignor's actual knowledge, (i) the representations and
warranties of Seller in Article V in and under the Stock Purchase
Agreement are true and correct, (ii) Seller is not in material
breach or default of its obligations under the Stock Purchase

would cause Assignor not to consummate the transactions
contemplated in the Stock Purchase Agreement. At the same time,

of the Seller, the risks involved in investing in a company in
poor financial condition, and the possibility that Seller is in
worse financial condition than Assignor in good faith believes it
to be.
4. Modification. This Assignment Agreement shall not be modified,
------------
discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom any waiver, change, discharge or termination is sought.
5. Notices. Any notice, demand or other communication that any party

administrators, successors and legal representatives, except that such

securities laws or policies underlying such laws.
7. Entire Agreement. This Assignment Agreement, together with the Stock
----------------
Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Certificate of Vote
of Directors with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock and the Shareholders'

the Certificate of Vote of Directors) approves the proposed Action. Seller
intends that such net proceeds will be used for investment in the continuing
businesses of Seller and the Subsidiaries.

-----------------------
date of this Agreement and Closing, it shall and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to:

damages or penalties against any of the parties hereto or Tutor should
he serve as an officer or director of Seller, and, in the reasonable
judgment of RCBA, there shall not be a material risk of such a suit or
action. Seller shall have entered into a management agreement with

Seller and the relationship of a principal of RCBA to a United States
Senator. Therefore, it is a condition to Closing (a) that the Senate
Ethics Committee and regular counsel for the Senator on such matters
shall each have given an opinion concerning RCBA's involvement with
Seller that, in the reason able judgment of RCBA, does not require the
imposition of material restrictions on the business of Seller or upon
the ability of the Senator to vote on matters of concern to her
constituents, and (b) that RCBA be assured by the Executive Committee
of Seller's Board of Directors that it will cause Seller not to bid
for a project when and if advised of RCBA's view that such bid could
create a significant risk of exposing Seller, RCBA, PB, and/or the
Senator to a conflict of interest problem .

Perini Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Massachusetts (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), and having
its principal office in this State at 73 Mt. Wayte Avenue, Framingham,
Massachusetts 01701, hereby certifies to the State Department of Massachusetts

FIRST: Pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter called the "Board of Directors" or the
"Board") in accordance with the provisions of Article ________ of the Restated
Articles of Organization of the Corporation (the "Articles"), the Board of
Directors, at a meeting duly convened and held on ____ __, 1996, regarding the

----------------------
designated as "Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock" and the number
of shares constituting such series shall be 500,000, of which 150,150 shall be
issued initially (the date of such issuance, the "Original Issue Date") and the
remainder shall be reserved for issuance as dividends pursuant to Section 3
below. The number of shares designated as shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock may be decreased (but not increased) by the Board of
Directors without a vote of stockholders; provided, however, that such number

2. Preemptive Rights. Holders of shares of Series B Cumulative
-----------------
Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to any preemptive or subscription

<PAGE>
3. Dividends.
---------
(a) The holders of shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as authorized and
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds at the time legally available
therefor, dividends at the Cash Dividend Rate (defined below) per annum times
the Liquidation Preference (defined below in Section 4(a)) if paid in cash, or
at the In-Kind Dividend Rate (defined below) per annum times the Liquidation
Preference if paid in additional shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock, and no more, which shall be fully cumulative, shall accrue with
respect to any such share from the original date of issuance of such share
without interest and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15,
September 15 and December 15 of each year (a "Dividend Payment Date"),
commencing March 15, 1997 (except that if any such date is a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday, then such dividend shall be payable on the next day that is not a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday) to holders of record as they appear upon the
stock transfer books of the Corporation on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and
December 1 immediately preceding the payment dates, or such other dates as shall
be fixed at the time of the authorization and declaration by the Board of
Directors (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, a duly authorized
committee thereof), which date shall not be less than ten (10) nor more than
sixty (60) days preceding the relevant dividend payment date. For purposes
hereof, the term "legal holiday" shall mean any day on which banking
institutions are authorized to close in New York, New York. The amount of
dividends payable per share of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
for each quarterly dividend period shall be computed by dividing the annual
dividend amount by four and shall include fractional shares. The amount of
dividends payable for the initial dividend period and any period shorter than a
full quarterly period during which shares are outstanding shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of
days elapsed in the period in which payable. No interest shall be payable in
respect of any dividend payment on the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock or any other Parity Dividend Stock (as hereinafter defined) which may be
in arrears. The "Cash Dividend Rate" shall be 9 percent per annum if a Special
Default (defined below) has occurred and is continuing at any time during the
applicable Annual Payment Period (defined below) or Semiannual Payment Period
(defined below), and shall be 7 percent per annum at all other times. The "In-
Kind Dividend Rate" shall be 12 percent per annum if a Special Default has

Board of Directors, as follows (for purposes of this determination, the
Designated Directors (defined below in Section 13) shall not vote):
(i) Prior to December 15, 1999:
(1) on or prior to the Original Issue Date and prior to
December 15, 1997 and 1998, the Board of Directors shall determine whether
dividend payments payable on the next four Dividend Payment Dates beginning
December 15 (each, an "Annual Payment Period") shall be paid in (i) cash or (ii)
additional shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock valued at
the Liquidation Preference (but not in any combination of cash and additional
shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock); provided, however,
-------- -------
that the first Annual Payment Period shall commence March 15, 1997, and run for
three Dividend Payment Dates if the Original Issue Date is between December 15,
1996 and March 15, 1997;
(2) in the event that, during an Annual Payment Period when
the Board has elected to pay dividends on the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock in cash, the Corporation fails to authorize, declare and pay in
cash on a Dividend Payment Date the full amount of the cash dividend due at the
Cash Dividend Rate, then, on or prior to such Dividend Payment Date, the Board
shall authorize, declare and pay a supplemental stock dividend in shares of
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (valued at the Liquidation
Preference) equal to the difference between the dividend that would have been
paid in-kind at the In-Kind Dividend Rate (assuming that the Board had elected
to pay dividends for such period in-kind and assuming that a Special Default
existed) and the cash dividend actually declared and paid on such Dividend
Payment Date and on the previous Dividend Payment Date during such Annual
Payment Period, if any.
(ii) On or after December 15, 1999:
(1) On or prior to December 15, 1999 and on or prior to
each June 15 and December 15 thereafter, the Board of Directors shall determine
whether dividend payments accruing on the next two Dividend Payment Dates
beginning on such Dividend Payment Date (each a "Semiannual Payment Period")
shall be paid in (i) cash or (ii) additional shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock valued at the Liquidation Preference (but
-3-
<PAGE>
not in any combination of cash and additional shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock);
(2) in the event that, during a Semiannual Payment Period
when the Board has elected to pay dividends on the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock in cash, the Corporation fails to authorize, declare
and pay in cash on a Dividend Payment Date the full amount of the cash dividend
due at the Cash Dividend Rate, then, on such Dividend Payment Date, the Board
shall authorize, declare and pay a supplemental stock dividend in shares of
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (valued at the Liquidation
Preference) equal to the difference between the dividend that would have been
paid in-kind at the In-Kind Dividend Rate (assuming that the Board had elected
to pay dividends for such period in-kind and assuming that a Special Default
existed) and the cash dividend actually declared and paid on such Dividend
Payment Date and on the previous Dividend Payment Date during such Semiannual
Payment Period, if any.
(iii) All shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock issued as a dividend with respect to the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock shall thereupon be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
(c) In the case of shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date, dividends shall accrue and be
cumulative from such date. In the case of shares of Series B Cumulative Con
vertible Preferred Stock issued as a dividend on shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from the
dividend payment date in respect of which such shares were (or should have been)
issued as a dividend.
(d) Each fractional share of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock outstanding shall be entitled to a ratably proportionate amount
of all dividends accruing with respect to each outstanding share of Series B
Cumula tive Convertible Preferred Stock, and all such dividends with respect to
such outstanding fractional shares shall be cumulative and shall accrue (whether
or not declared), and shall be payable in the same manner and at such times as
provided for above with respect to dividends on each outstanding share of Series
B Cumu lative Convertible Preferred Stock. Each fractional share of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding shall also be entitled to a
ratably propor tionate amount of any other distributions made with respect to
each outstanding share of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and
all such
-4-
<PAGE>
distributions shall be payable in the same manner and at the same time
as distributions on each outstanding share of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock.
(e) No dividends or other distributions shall be authorized,
declared, paid or set apart for payment on any shares of Common Stock or other
stock of the Corporation ranking junior as to dividends to the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Junior Dividend
Stock") except for dividends or distributions that are not Extraordinary Equity
Payments (defined below in Section 8(h)).
(f) If at any time any dividend on the $21.25 Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "$21.25 Preferred Stock") or any other stock
of the Corporation hereafter issued ranking senior as to dividends to the Series
B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively with the $21.25 Preferred
Stock, the "Senior Dividend Stock") shall be in arrears, in whole or in part,
then (except to the extent allowed by the terms of such Senior Dividend Stock)
no cash dividend shall be authorized, declared, paid or set apart for payment on
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock unless and until all accrued
and unpaid dividends with respect to the Senior Dividend Stock for all payment
periods ending on or prior to the date of payment of the current dividend on the
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been authorized,
declared and paid or set apart for payment. Dividends payable in additional
shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are permitted and not
subordinated in payment to payment of dividends on the Senior Dividend Stock.
(g) No dividends or other distributions shall be authorized,
declared, paid or set apart for payment on any class or series of the
Corporation's stock heretofore or hereafter issued ranking, as to dividends, on
a parity with the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Parity
Dividend Stock") for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been, or
contemporaneously are, authorized, declared and paid or set apart in trust for
such payment on the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock for all
dividend payment peri ods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such
full cumulative divi dends. No full dividends (other than dividends payable in
additional shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock) shall be
authorized, declared, paid or set apart for payment on the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock for any period unless full cumulative dividends have
been, or contempora neously are, authorized, declared and paid or set apart for
payment on the Parity Dividend Stock for all dividend periods terminating on or
prior to the date of payment of such full cumulative dividends. When accrued
dividends are not paid
-5-
<PAGE>
in full on the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the Parity
Dividend Stock, all cash dividends authorized, declared and paid or set apart
for payment on the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the
Parity Dividend Stock shall be authorized, declared, paid or set apart for
payment pro rata so that the amount of dividends authorized, declared, paid or
set apart for payment per share on the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock and the Parity Dividend Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the
same ratio that accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the Parity Dividend Stock bear to
each other.
4. Liquidation Preference.
----------------------
(a) The liquidation preference of the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference").
Subject to the full payment of the liquidation preferences of the $21.25
Preferred Stock and the shares of stock of the Corporation hereafter issued
ranking senior as to liquidation rights to the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Senior Liquidation Stock"), in the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary,
the holders of shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation, whether such assets
are stated capital or surplus of any nature, an amount equal to the dividends
accrued and unpaid on such shares on the date of final distribution to such
holders, whether or not declared, without interest, plus a sum equal to the
Liquidation Preference, and no more, before any payment shall be made or any
assets distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class
or series of the Corporation's stock hereafter issued ranking junior as to
liquidation rights to the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
(collectively, the "Junior Liquidation Stock").
(b) The assets of the Corporation available for distribution after
the liquidation preferences of the Senior Liquidation Stock are fully met shall
be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock and any other class or series of the Corporation's stock
hereafter issued ranking on a parity as to liquidation rights with the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in proportion to the respective
preferential amounts to which each is entitled (but only to the extent of such
preferential amounts); provided, however, that after payment in full of the
-------- -------
Liquidation Preferences, the holders of the shares of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further participation
in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. Neither a consolidation or
merger of the Corporation with or into
-6-
<PAGE>
another corporation nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the
Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's
assets for cash, securities or other property, will be considered a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
5. Limitation on Share Repurchase. If at any time any dividends on the
------------------------------
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall be in arrears or the
Corporation shall have failed to make any purchase of shares of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock tendered to it pursuant to Section 7, the
Corporation shall not -- and the Corporation shall not permit any other
corporation or legal entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Corporation
(collectively, the "subsidiaries") to -- repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise
acquire any shares of Junior Dividend Stock, Junior Liquidation Stock, or any
warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into any
shares of Junior Dividend Stock or Junior Liquidation Stock, except by
conversion into or exchange for shares of Junior Dividend Stock or Junior
Liquidation Stock and other than purchases, redemptions, retirements or
acquisitions made pursuant to and as required by the terms of any employee
incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the
Corporation in effect on July 24, 1996 or as amended or adopted by the
Corporation with approval of the Executive Committee of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any subsidiary which is wholly owned by
the Corporation may repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire shares of
its stock.
6. Redemption at Option of the Corporation.
---------------------------------------
(a) So long as shares of Common Stock shall have traded on the
Primary Exchange (defined below) (i) for at least forty (40) of the forty-five
(45) trading days (each of which trading days shall be after the third
anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the "Third Anniversary")) immediately
preceding the Determination Date (defined below), and (ii) on each of the ten
(10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Determination Date
(defined below), at a Closing Price (as hereinafter defined) in excess of the
Hurdle Percentage (defined below) of the conversion price then in effect for the
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock for each such trading day, all,
but not less than all, of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock may
thereafter be redeemed at the election of the Board of Directors made on any
date (the "Determination Date") on or after the Third Anniversary, for the
Redemption Price (defined below in Section 7(b)), plus an amount in cash equal
to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not authorized or declared,
to but excluding the date fixed for redemption. For purposes of the
determination of the Board called for in the
-7-
<PAGE>
preceding sentence, the Designated Directors (defined below in Section 13) shall
not vote. The date on which such shares shall be redeemed shall be a date that
is at least ten (10), but no more than thirty (30), business days after the
Determination Date (during which period the holders of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock may, but shall not be required to, convert such
stock into Common Stock). The Hurdle Percentage shall be 150% from and after the
Third Anniversary, and to the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date;
thereafter, the Hurdle Percentage shall be 125%. "Primary Exchange" shall mean
the American Stock Exchange or such other principal national securities exchange
or quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Corporation is quoted or
listed or admitted to trading.
(b) Not more than thirty (30) nor less than ten (10) business days
prior to the redemption date fixed by the Board of Directors, the Corporation
shall give notice by hand or overnight courier to the holders of record of
shares of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed,
addressed to such holders at their last addresses as shown upon the stock
transfer books of the Corporation. Each such notice of redemption shall specify
the date fixed for redemption; the Redemption Price (defined below in Section
7(b)) plus an amount in cash equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon,
whether or not authorized or declared, to but excluding the date fixed for
redemption; the place or places of payment; that payment will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock; that on and after the redemption date dividends will cease to
accrue on such shares; the then effective conversion price pursuant to Section
8; and that the right of holders to convert shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock shall terminate at the close of business on the
business day prior to the redemption date (unless the Corporation defaults in
the payment of the Redemption Price plus an amount in cash equal to accrued and
unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not authorized or declared, to but
excluding the date fixed for redemption).
(c) Any notice as herein provided shall be deemed to be given when
delivered to the address specified in the preceding section. On or after the
date fixed for redemption as stated in such notice, each holder of the shares
called for redemption, unless such holder has exercised such holder's right to
convert shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock as provided
above, shall surrender the certificate representing such shares to the
Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be
entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price (defined below in Section
7(b)) plus an amount in cash equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon,
whether or not authorized or declared, to but excluding the date fixed for
redemption. If less than all the shares
-8-
<PAGE>
evidenced by any such surrendered certificate are redeemed, a new certificate
shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. Notice having been given as
aforesaid, if, on the date fixed for redemption, funds necessary for the
redemption shall be available therefor and shall have been irrevocably deposited
or set aside in trust for the holders of the shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, then, notwithstanding that the certificates
representing any shares so called for redemption shall not have been
surrendered, dividends with respect to the shares so called shall cease to
accrue after the date fixed for redemption, such shares shall no longer be
deemed outstanding, the holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders of the
Corporation and all rights whatsoever with respect to the shares so called for
redemption (except the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price plus
an amount in cash equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not
authorized or declared, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption, without
interest upon surrender of their certificates therefor) shall terminate. If
funds legally available for such purpose are not sufficient for redemption of
the shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed,
then the certificates representing such shares shall be deemed not to be
surrendered, such shares shall remain outstanding and the rights of holders of
shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter shall
continue to be only those of a holder of shares of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock.
(d) Except as provided in Section 7, the shares of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be subject to the operation of
any mandatory purchase, retirement or sinking fund.
7. Mandatory Repurchase and Repurchase at Option of the Holder.
-----------------------------------------------------------
(a) On the eighth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the
Corporation shall purchase from each holder of shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock one-third of the number of shares of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares held by such holder on such eighth
anniversary. On the ninth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the
Corporation shall purchase from each holder of shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock one-half of the number of shares of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares held by such holder on such ninth
anniversary. On the tenth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the
Corporation shall purchase from each holder of shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock the number of shares of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Shares held by such holder on such tenth anniversary.
Repurchases made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be effected on such
anniversary date (or such other day as the
-9-
<PAGE>
holder and the Corporation may agree) and shall be for the Redemption Price
(defined below in Section 7(b)) plus an amount in cash equal to the accrued and
unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not authorized or declared, to but
excluding the date fixed for repurchase. Any shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock which would have accrued but have not been paid on
any shares tendered for purchase shall be deemed to be tendered for purchase.
(b) (i) If one or more Special Defaults shall occur at any time or
from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date, each holder of shares of
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right, at
such holder's option exercisable at any time within 120 days after the happening
of each such Special Default, to require the Corporation to purchase all or any
part of the shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock then held
by such holder as such holder may elect at the Redemption Price (defined below)
plus, in each case, an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon, whether or not authorized or declared, to but excluding the date fixed
for redemption. Any shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
which would have accrued but have not been paid on any shares tendered for
purchase shall be deemed to be tendered for purchase. The "Redemption Price"
shall be the Liquidation Preference where there have been no Special Defaults,
and -- after there has been one or more Special Defaults -- shall be 130% of the
greater of the Liquidation Preference or the market value of the Common Stock
(valued at the average of the Closing Prices on the preceding twenty (20)
trading days immediately prior to the occurrence of the Special Default) into
which the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock would then be
convertible assuming such shares to be immediately convertible (whether or not
such shares were then actually convertible);
(ii) A "Special Default" shall mean any of the following events
which occur after the Original Issuance Date and while any shares of the Series
B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding:
(1) the disbanding or other restructuring,
reorganization, or reconstitution (including without limitation change in the
number of members) of the Executive Committee of the Board without the prior
written approval of a majority of the members of the Executive Committee who
were members prior to such change (and, for so long as the holders of the Series
B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate more
than one director to the Executive Committee pursuant to Section 13(b) below,
including the members so designated by the holders of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock);
-10-
<PAGE>
(2) the taking of any of the following actions by the
Corporation or the Board without the approval of a majority of the members of
the Executive Committee of the Board (whether or not such action was taken by
the Board in view of its fiduciary duties pursuant to the last sentence of
Section 3.3(A) of the By-Laws of the Corporation, as amended): (A) any borrowing
or guarantee by the Corporation exceeding $15 million, (B) except for issuance
of stock or stock options pursuant to the Corporation's incentive compensation
plans or programs, any issuance of stock (whether common or preferred, whether
voting or non-voting, whether junior, pari passu, or senior to the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock) other than Common Stock of the
Corporation in an aggregate amount not exceeding five percent (5%) of the Common
Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date, (C)
any strategic alliance (other than a construction joint venture) involving a
capital commitment by the Corporation exceeding $5 million, (D) any asset sale
by the Corporation or lease as lessor exceeding $5 million (other than equipment
dispositions in the normal course of business); (E) any redemption or amendment
of the Rights (defined below) or the preferred stock of the Corporation issuable
upon the exercise of such Rights, or any amendment of the Rights Agreement
(defined below), and (F) any termination of (other than a termination upon
expiration) or amendment to the management agreement between the Corporation and
Tutor-Saliba Corporation; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section
-------- -------
8(b)(ii)(2), approval of the Executive Committee shall not be required for any
decision by the Board of Directors to redeem the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a);
(3) any change by the Corporation in the composition of the
Executive Committee of the Board which results in members of such Committee
selected by the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 13(b) below being fewer than the number of directors that
the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are then
entitled to designate pursuant to that provision or the failure of the
Corporation to nominate for director the persons designated by the holders of
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with Section
13(a) below; or
(4) solely for purposes of the right to elect additional
directors pursuant to Section 9(b) and not for purposes of any other Section,
the failure of the Corporation to authorize, declare, and pay dividends payable
in Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock when due in accordance with
Section 3.
-11-
<PAGE>
(c) The date fixed for each such repurchase shall be (x) the
anniversary of the Original Issue Date immediately succeeding the notice given
pursuant to Section 7(a), or (y) the 121st day following the occurrence of the
Special Default giving rise to a repurchase pursuant to Section 7(b). The place
of payment shall be at an office or agency in Boston, Massachusetts fixed
therefor by the Corporation or, if not fixed, at the principal executive office
of the Corporation.
(d) The Corporation shall, within 20 days of the occurrence of a
Special Default, give a written notice thereof by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the holders of record of shares of
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, addressed to such holders
at their last addresses as shown upon the stock transfer books of the
Corporation. Each such notice shall specify the Special Default which has
occurred and the date of such occurrence, the place or places of payment, the
then effective conversion price pursuant to Section 8, the then effective
repurchase price and the date the right of such holder to require such
repurchase shall terminate. Any notice that is mailed as herein provided shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder of
shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock receives such notice;
and failure to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice, to the
holders of any shares shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
repurchase of any other shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock.
(e) (i) On the date fixed for any such repurchase, each holder of
shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock who elects to have
shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock held by it purchased
shall surrender the certificate representing such shares to the Corporation at
the place designated in such notice together with an election to have such
purchase made and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment therefor
provided in this Section 7. If less than all the shares represented by any such
surrendered certificate are repurchased, a new certificate shall be issued
representing the unpurchased shares. Dividends with respect to the shares of
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock so purchased shall cease to
accrue after the date so purchased, such shares shall no longer be deemed
outstanding after such date and the holders thereof shall cease to be
stockholders of the Corporation and all rights whatsoever with respect to the
shares so purchased shall terminate.
-12-
<PAGE>
(ii) If the funds legally available for such purchase are
not sufficient to purchase all the shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock tendered to the Corporation for purchase, the Corporation shall
purchase the greatest number of whole shares for which such funds are so
available on a pro rata basis among all tendering holders based on the ratio of
the number of shares tendered by each of them to the aggregate amount of all
shares so tendered, and the certificates representing the unpurchased shares
shall be deemed not to be surrendered for repurchase, such unpurchased shares
shall remain outstanding and the rights of the holders of shares of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter shall continue to be those of
a holder of shares of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock;
provided, however, the Corporation shall thereafter be required to repurchase
- -------- -------
all such remaining shares at the first date it has sufficient funds legally
available for such purpose at the price it would have paid at the date such
shares were actually tendered and the Corporation shall give notice as aforesaid
to each holder whose shares were not repurchased for such reason and such holder
shall thereafter have the right to elect to have such shares repurchased, such
election to be made within 30 days of receipt of such notice. For purposes of
this Section, the Corporation shall be deemed not to have sufficient funds
legally available for any such purchase if the Board of Directors reasonably
determines that immediately after such repurchase the Corporation would be
insolvent.
(iii) For so long as there remain shares of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock that have been surrendered for repurchase
in accordance with this Section 7 that have not been so repurchased by the
Corporation: (1) the number of members of the Board of Directors shall be
increased by such number as is necessary to allow the election of the directors
specified in clause (2) of this Section, and (2) the holders of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall have
the right to elect an additional number of directors to the Board of Directors
such that the Designated Directors (defined below in Section 13) who are serving
on the Board of Directors, plus the directors elected by such holders voting as
a class under this clause, constitute a majority of Board. The right of the
holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to vote for such
additional directors shall terminate when shares of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock properly tendered for repurchase pursuant to this
Section 7 have been repurchased. The term of office of all directors so elected
shall terminate immediately upon the termination of the right of the holders of
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to vote for such additional
directors, and the number of directors of the Board of Directors shall
immediately thereafter be reduced.
-13-
<PAGE>
(iv) The foregoing right of the holders of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to the election of
additional directors may be exercised at each annual meeting of stockholders or
at any special meeting of stockholders held for such purpose. If the right to
elect additional directors shall have accrued to the holders of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock more than thirty (30) days preceding the
date established for the next annual meeting of stockholders, the President of
the Corporation shall, within five (5) days after the delivery to the
Corporation at its principal office of a written request for a special meeting
signed by the holders of at least 10% of all outstanding shares of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, call a special meeting of the holders of
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be held as promptly as
practicable after the delivery of such request for the purpose of electing such
additional directors.
(v) The holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock voting as a class shall have the right to remove with or without
cause at any time and replace any directors such holders shall have elected
pursuant to this Section 7 and the holders of each other class of stock of the
Corporation shall not have the right to remove any such directors.
8. Conversion.
----------
(a) Right of Conversion. Each share of Series B Cumulative
-------------------
Convertible Preferred Stock, whether issued originally or in-kind as a dividend
payment, shall be convertible at the option of the holder thereof, at any time
(provided, however, that where the Corporation has elected to redeem such stock,
- --------- -------
the option of the holder described in this section must be exercised prior to
the close of business on the business day prior to the date fixed for redemption
of such share as herein provided), into fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock and such other securities and property as hereinafter provided, at
the rate of that number of shares of Common Stock for each full share of Series
B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock that is equal to the Liquidation
Preference plus an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon, whether or not authorized or declared, divided by the conversion price
applicable per share of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 8(a), the
"conversion price" applicable per share of Common Stock shall initially be equal
to Nine Dollars and Sixty-Eight Cents ($9.68), and shall be adjusted from time
to time after the Original Issue Date in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.
-14-
<PAGE>
(b) Conversion Procedures.
---------------------
(i) Any holder of shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock desiring to convert such shares into Common Stock shall
surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at the office of the transfer agent for
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, which certificate or
certificates, if the Corporation shall so require, shall be duly endorsed to the
Corporation or in blank, or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to the
Corporation or in blank, accompanied by irrevocable written notice to the
Corporation that the holder elects so to convert such shares of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and specifying the name or names (with
address or addresses) in which a certificate or certificates evidencing shares
of Common Stock are to be issued.
(ii) Subject to Section 8(k) hereof, no payments or adjustments
in respect of dividends on shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock surrendered for conversion or on account of any dividend on the Common
Stock issued upon conversion shall be made upon the conversion of any shares of
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
(iii) The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such
deposit of certificates representing shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock accompanied by the written notice and compliance with any other
conditions herein contained, deliver at such office of the transfer agent to the
person for whose account such shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock were so surrendered or to the nominee or nominees of such person
certificates representing the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
such person shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with a cash adjustment in
respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock as hereinafter provided.
Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, such conversion shall be
deemed to have been made as of the date of such surrender of the shares of
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person
or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of
such Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock on such date.
(c) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price at which a
------------------------------
share of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into
Common Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
-15-
<PAGE>
(i) (1) In case the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend
or other distribution on its Common Stock exclusively in Common Stock or shall
pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any other class of stock of the
Corporation which dividend or distribution includes Common Stock or shall
exchange outstanding Rights (as defined in Section 8(j) hereof) for shares of
Common Stock, the conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the
day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution or to exchange such Rights shall be
reduced by multiplying such conversion price by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall
be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting
such dividend or other distribution or exchange, such reduction to become
effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the
date fixed for such determination.
(2) In case the Corporation shall issue or otherwise sell
or distribute shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share in cash or
property less than the most recent Closing Price prior to the time of such
issuance (and, if shares are issued, sold, or distributed pursuant to the
exercise or conversion of options, warrants, convertible securities, or other
rights, the exercise or conversion price thereof when such options, warrants,
convertible securities, or rights were granted or issued was less than the
Closing Price (defined below in Section 8(h) at the time of issuance of such
options, warrants, convertible securities, or other rights), the conversion
price then in effect shall be reduced by multiplying such conversion price by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, sale or distribution plus the
number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by
the Corporation for such issuance, sale or distribution (such consideration, if
other than cash, as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination
shall be conclusive and described in a vote of the Board of Directors) would
purchase at the current market price per share and the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effecting
to such issuance, sale or distribution.
(ii) In case the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend or
other distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall
otherwise issue to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, rights
or warrants entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of
-16-
<PAGE>
Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per
share (determined as provided in subparagraph (vii) of this Section 8(c)) of the
Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants, the conversion price in effect at the opening
of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be
reduced by multiplying such conversion price by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares
of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of
shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at
such current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after
the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such
determination. In case any rights or warrants referred to in this subparagraph
(ii) in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire
unexercised, the conversion price shall be readjusted at the time of such
expiration to the conversion price that would have been in effect if no
adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such
expired rights or warrants. For the purposes of this Section 8(c)(ii), if both
a Distribution Date and a Section 11(a)(ii) Event (as such terms are defined in
the Rights Agreement by and between the Corporation and the First National Bank
at Boston, dated as of September 23, 1988, as amended (the "Rights Agreement"))
shall have occurred, then the later to occur of such events shall be deemed to
constitute an issuance of rights to purchase shares of Common Stock.
(iii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the conversion price
in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which
such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and
conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the conversion price in effect
at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction
or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(iv) (1) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or
otherwise, make a Section 8(c)(iv) Distribution (defined below in Section 8(h))
to
-17-
<PAGE>
all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, the conversion price shall
be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
conversion price in effect immediately following the close of business on the
Determination Date (as defined in Section 8(h)) by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in
subparagraph (vii) of this Section 8(c)) of the Common Stock on the
Determination Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution
of the Board of Directors), on the date of such effectiveness, of the portion of
the Section 8(c)(iv) Distribution so distributed applicable to one share of
Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of
the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day following the Determination Date. If the Board of
Directors so determines as aforesaid the fair market value of any distribution
for purposes of this subparagraph (iv) by reference to the actual or when-issued
trading market for any Securities comprising such distribution, it must in doing
so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the
current market price per share of Common Stock pursuant to subparagraph (vii) of
this Section 8(c).
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation
elects to reserve, for distribution to the holders of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock upon the conversion of the shares of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the evidences of the Corporation's
indebtedness, shares of any class of stock, or assets that would have been
distributed to the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock if they had converted their shares into shares of Common Stock so that any
such holder converting shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of the Common Stock
to which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such evidences of the
Corporation's indebtedness, shares of any class of stock, or assets which such
holder would have received if such holder had, immediately prior to the
Determination Date for such distribution of securities, converted its shares of
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the fair
market value of the Securities shall, for purposes of this subparagraph (iv), be
deemed to be zero.
(v) Subject to the last sentence of this subparagraph (v), in
case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to
all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash representing an amount
per share of capital stock of the Corporation to the extent such cash does not
-18-
<PAGE>
constitute an Extraordinary Equity Payment), the conversion price shall be
reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
conversion price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the
conversion price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (v) by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined
as provided in subparagraph (vii) of this Section 8(c)) of the Common Stock on
the Determination Date less the amount of cash so distributed and not excluded
as above provided applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator
shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction
to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the Determination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Corporation elects to reserve the cash to be distributed for distribution to the
holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock upon the
conversion of the shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock so
that any such holder converting shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of
the Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount of cash which such
holder would have received if such holder had, immediately prior to the
Determination Date for such distribution of cash, converted its shares of Series
B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock, then the conversion
price shall not be so reduced.
(vi) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Corporation
or any subsidiary of the Corporation for all or any portion of the Corporation's
Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer shall involve the
payment by the Corporation or such subsidiary of consideration per share of
Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution
of the Board of Directors) at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or
exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it shall
have been amended) that exceeds the current market price per share (determined
as provided in subparagraph (vii) of this Section 8(c)) of the Common Stock on
the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall
be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
conversion price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the Expiration Time
multiplied by the current market price per share (determined as provided in
subparagraph (vii) of this Section 8(c)) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x)
the fair market value (determined as
-19-
<PAGE>
aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the
acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange
offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the
Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being
referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) on the Expiration
Time and the current market price per share (determined as provided in
subparagraph (vii) of this Section 8(c)) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
next succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective
immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration
Time.
(vi) For purposes of any computation under this section, the
current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be
the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Stock for the five-day
period before the earlier of the day in question and the "ex" date with respect
to any issuance or distribution requiring such computation; provided, however,

that for purposes of clause (3) of this paragraph, the current market price per
share shall be deemed to be the volume-weighted average trading price of the
Common Stock for the five-day period after the "ex date." For purposes of this
subparagraph (vii), the term "ex" date, (1) when used with respect to any
issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades
regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the
Closing Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or
distribution, (2) when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of
shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades
regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such
subdivision or combination becomes effective, and (3) when used with respect to
any tender or exchange offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock
trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time
of such offer.
(viii) The Corporation may make such reductions in the conversion
price, in addition to those required by subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv),
(v) and (vi) of this Section 8(c), as it considers to be advisable to avoid or
diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common
Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire
stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
(ix) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required
unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in
the conversion price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by
-------- -------
-20-
<PAGE>
reason of this subparagraph (ix) are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(x) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8 and
without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, no issuance,
dividend or distribution requiring adjustment of the conversion price pursuant
to Section 8(c) hereof shall be deemed to have occurred in the event that, upon,
following or in connection with the redemption or expiration of the Rights or
the termination of the Rights Agreement or otherwise, the Corporation enters
into a new agreement that is comparable in purpose and effect to the Rights
Agreement (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclu sive) and distributes rights to purchase Preferred Stock (or other
similar stock purchase rights under such agreement that are attached to the
Common Stock) to the holders of Common Stock.
(xi) Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein
provided:
(1) the Corporation shall compute the adjusted conversion
price and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Treasurer of the Corporation
setting forth the adjusted conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the
acts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith
be filed with the transfer agent for the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock; and
(2) a notice stating the conversion price has been
adjusted and setting forth the adjusted conversion price shall forthwith be
required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be
mailed by the Corporation to all record holders of shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock at their last addresses as they shall appear upon
the stock transfer books of the Corporation.
(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing
--------------------
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. If more than one certificate
representing shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full
shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate number of shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock so
surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would
otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series B Cumulative
-21-
<PAGE>
Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the same fraction of
the market price per share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board of
Directors or in any manner prescribed by the Board of Directors, which, so long
as the Common Stock is listed on the Primary Exchange, shall be the reported
last sale price regular way on the Primary Exchange) at the close of business on
the day of conversion.
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets. If
----------------------------------------------------------
any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the
Corporation, or consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other property with respect to
or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision
shall be made whereby the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock shall have the right to acquire and receive upon conversion of
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, which right shall be pari
----
passu with the rights of holders of Parity Dividend Stock and senior to the
- -----
rights of the holders of Junior Dividend Stock and Junior Liquidation Stock (but
after and subject to the rights of holders of Senior Dividend Stock and Senior
Liquidation Stock, if any), such shares of stock, securities, cash or other
property issuable or payable (as part of the reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale) with respect to or in exchange for such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as would have been received upon conversion
of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at the conversion price
then in effect, whether or not such stock is then convertible. The Corporation
will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the
consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation)
resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such
assets shall assume by written instrument in reasonable and customary form
mailed or delivered to the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock at the last address of each such holder appearing on the books
of the Corporation, the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of
stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such holder may be entitled to purchase.
-22-
<PAGE>
(f) Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes; Etc.
------------------------------------------
(i) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available, out of its authorized and unissued stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock,
such number of shares of its Common Stock or Common Stock free of preemptive
rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock from time to time
outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance with the
laws of the State of Massachusetts, increase the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of authorized and unissued
Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all the then
outstanding shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
(ii) If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for
purposes of conversion of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority
under any Federal or State law before such shares may be issued upon conversion,
the Corporation will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to
cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. If the
Common Stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange or any other national
securities exchange or national quotation service, the Corporation will list and
keep listed on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock.
(iii) The Corporation shall pay any and all issue or other taxes
that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common
Stock on conversion of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The
Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable
in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Common Stock (or
other securities or assets) in a name other than that in which the shares of
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered,
and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person
requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or has
established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been
paid.

(g) Prior Notice of Certain Events. In case:
------------------------------
(i) the Corporation shall declare or authorize a redemption or
repurchase of in excess of five percent of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock; or
(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all
holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or of any other rights or warrants (other than
pursuant to the Rights Agreement or, following the redemption or expiration of
the Rights or the termination of the Rights Agreement, any new shareholder
rights agreement that is comparable in purpose and effect to the Rights
Agreement); or
(iii) of any reclassification of Common Stock (other than a
subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or
of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which
approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required, or of the
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or
of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or other property; or
(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Corporation;
then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the transfer agent for the
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to
the holders of record of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, at
their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock transfer books of the

or granting of rights or warrants or, if no record date is to be set, the date
as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or
(y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to
become effective, and the date, if any, as of which it is expected that holders
of shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares
of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share

that purpose.
(ii) "Determination Date" shall mean, with respect to any
dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of
Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or
assets or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged
for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the

dividend paid or distribution made, net of applicable withholding taxes, is
received by the Corporation, or such recipient subsidiary;
(B) any regularly scheduled (whether or not overdue)
periodic cash dividend on the $21.25 Preferred Stock and Series B
-25-

or constitute solely the right to receive cash, securities, property or other
assets (whether by means of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer,
consolidation, merger, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or
otherwise); provided, however, in the case of a plan involving more than one
-------- -------

such Fundamental Change shall be deemed to have occurred when substantially all
of the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be exchanged for,
converted into or acquired for or constitute solely the right to receive cash,
securities, property or other assets, but the adjustment shall be based upon the
consideration which the holders of Common Stock received in such transaction or
event as a result of which more than 50% of the shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation shall have been exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for or
constitute solely the right to receive cash, securities, property or other

acquired or otherwise issued in such transaction or event, or (ii) any such
transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock receive securities of

foregoing provisions, the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any
plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on
securities of the Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts

warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security issued or
outstanding on the Original Issue Date (except as expressly provided in Section
8(c)(i) or 8(c)(ii) with respect to certain events under the Rights Agreement),
and any issuance of Rights (defined below) or other rights referred to in
Section 8(c)(x), shall not be deemed to constitute an issuance of Common Stock,
options, warrants, rights, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible
securities by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to which any of the
adjustment provisions described above in this Section 8 applies. There shall
also be no adjustment of the conversion price in case of the issuance of any
stock (or options, warrants, rights, or securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for stock) of the Corporation except as specifically
described in this Section 8. If any action would require adjustment of the
conversion price pursuant to more than one of the provisions described above,
only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of
adjustment which has the highest absolute value to the holders of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
(j) Preferred Share Purchase Rights. So long as Preferred Share
-------------------------------
Purchase Rights, of the kind authorized and declared on September 23, 1988 and
distributed by the Corporation in September 1988 as the same have been
-27-
<PAGE>
and may hereafter be amended ("Rights"), are attached to the outstanding shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation, each share of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
prior to the earliest of any Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights
Agreement), the date of redemption of the Rights or the date of expiration of
the Rights shall be issued with Rights in an amount equal to the amount of
Rights then attached to each such outstanding share of Common Stock.
(k) Certain Additional Rights. In case the Corporation shall, by
-------------------------
dividend or otherwise, authorize, declare or make a distribution on its Common
Stock referred to in Section 8(c)(iv) or Section 8(c)(v), the holder of each
share of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, upon the conversion
thereof subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to
the effectiveness of the conversion price adjustment in respect of such
distribution pursuant to Section 8(c)(iv) or Section 8(c)(v), shall be entitled
to receive for each share of Common Stock into which such share of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock is converted, the portion of the
evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, cash and assets so distributed
applicable to one share of Common Stock; provided, however, that, at the
-------- -------
election of the Corporation (whose election shall be evidenced by a vote of the
Board of Directors) with respect to all holders so converting, the Corporation
may, in lieu of distributing to such holder any portion of such distribution not
consisting of cash or securities of the Corporation, pay such holder an amount
in cash equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a vote of
the Board of Directors). If any conversion of a share of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock described in the immediately preceding sentence
occurs prior to the payment date for a distribution to holders of Common Stock
which the holder of the share of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
so converted is entitled to receive in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence, the Corporation may elect (such election to be evidenced by a
resolution of the Board of Directors) to distribute to such holder a due bill
for the evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, cash or assets to which such
holder is so entitled; provided that such due bill (i) meets any applicable
requirements of the principal national securities exchange or other market on
which the Common Stock is then traded and (ii) requires payment or delivery of
such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, cash or assets no later than
the date of payment or delivery thereof to holders of Common Stock receiving
such distribution. The rights provided in this Section 8(k) with respect to
distribution referred to in Section 8(c)(iv) or
-28-
<PAGE>
Section 8(c)(v) shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the rights accorded
to holders of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in those Sections.
(l) Other. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 8 to
-----
the contrary, if the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, authorize,
declare or make a distribution on its Common Stock referred to in Section
8(c)(iv) and such distribution shall include shares of stock of one or more
corporations that immediately prior to such distribution was or would have been
a subsidiary (a "Spin-Off"), the holder of each share of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share of
the securities distributed in the Spin-Off as if such holder had been the holder
of record of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock would be convertible (but for any
restrictions on convertibility contained in this Certificate of Vote) as of the
record date for such distribution. The rights provided in this Section 8(l)
with respect to Spin-Offs shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the
rights accorded to holders of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
with respect to Spin-Offs in Section 8(c)(iv).
9. Voting Rights.
-------------
(a) General. The holders of shares of Series B Cumulative
-------
Convertible Preferred Stock shall each initially have Twenty and Sixty-Five
Thousand Six Hundred and Forty-Eight Hundred-Thousandths (20.65648) votes for
each share held, which such shares shall be voted as a class with the holders of
the Common Stock on all matters on which the Common Stock may vote, except as
set forth below. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes an adjustment to
the conversion price pursuant to Section 8(c), the number of votes possessed by
each share of Series B Cumulative Convertible Stock shall be adjusted such that
the number of votes possessed by each such share immediately after the event
giving rise to the adjustment under Section 8(c) shall be equal to (x) the
number of votes possessed by such share immediately preceding such event,
multiplied by (y) the conversion price immediately preceding such event, divided
by (z) the conversion price immediately after such event. Any shares of Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Corporation or any entity
controlled by the Corporation shall not have voting rights hereunder and shall
not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum.
-29-
<PAGE>
(b) Special Default Voting Rights.
-----------------------------
(i) Whenever a Special Default exists, (1) the number of
members of the Board of Directors shall be increased by such number as is
necessary to allow the election of the directors specified in clause (2), and
(2) the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, voting
separately as a class, shall have the right to elect an additional number of
directors to the Board of Directors such that Designated Directors selected by
the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, plus the
directors elected by such holders voting as a class under this clause,
constitute a majority of Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the
holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (voting
separately as a class) will not have the right to vote for additional directors
pursuant to this Section 9(b) where (x) such holders have exercised their right
to elect additional directors pursuant to Section 7(e)(iii), and (y) such
additional directors continue to serve as such. The right of the holders of the
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to vote for such additional
directors shall terminate at the earlier to occur of (A) when such Special
Default no longer exists or (ii) two years after the election of directors
pursuant to clause (2) of the first sentence of this Section. The term of office
of all directors so elected shall terminate immediately upon the termination of
the right of the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
to vote for such additional directors, and the number of directors of the Board
of Directors shall immediately thereafter be reduced.
(ii) The foregoing right of the holders of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to the election of
additional directors may be exercised at each annual meeting of stockholders or
at any special meeting of stockholders held for such purpose. If the right to
elect directors shall have accrued to the holders of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock more than thirty (30) days preceding the date
established for the next annual meeting of stockholders, the President of the
Corporation shall, within five (5) days after the delivery to the Corporation at
its principal office of a written request for a special meeting signed by the
holders of at least 10% of all outstanding shares of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, call a special meeting of the holders of the Series
B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be held as promptly as practicable
after the delivery of such request for the purpose of electing such additional
directors.
(iii) The holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock referred to above voting as a class shall have the right to
remove
-30-
<PAGE>
with or without cause at any time and replace any directors such holders shall
have elected pursuant to this Section 9(c) and the holders of each other class
of stock of the Corporation shall not have the right to remove any such
directors.
(c) Class Voting Rights. So long as any shares of the Series B
-------------------
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall
not, directly or indirectly, without the affirmative vote or consent of the
holders of at least 66 2/3% (unless a higher percentage shall then be required
by applicable law or the Corporation's Articles) of all outstanding shares of
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock voting separately as a
class: (i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles, Certificate of
Vote, or the bylaws of the Corporation, if such amendment, alteration or repeal
would alter the contract rights, as expressly set forth herein, of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock or otherwise to adversely affect the
rights of the holders thereof or the holders of the Common Stock, (ii) create,
authorize or issue, or amend the terms of in a manner adversely affect the
rights of the holders the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or
reclassify shares of any authorized stock of the Corporation into, or increase
the authorized amount of, any Senior Dividend Stock, Senior Liquidation Stock,
Parity Dividend Stock, or Parity Liquidation Stock or any security convertible
into such senior or Parity Stock, or (iii) approve a Fundamental Change.
10. Outstanding Shares. For purposes of this Certificate of Vote, all
------------------
shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock issued by the

Convertible Preferred Stock that have been so called for redemption under
Section 6, to the extent provided thereunder; (ii) from the date of surrender of
certificates representing shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock, all shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock converted

13. Special Covenants.
-----------------
(a) Nomination of Directors. Effective as of the Original Issue
-----------------------
Date, the Corporation shall elect to the board of directors three directors
designated by the holders of such stock (such directors, together with their
replacements as provided below, the "Designated Directors"), one of whom shall
be a Class I director, one of whom shall be a Class II director, and one of whom
shall be a Class III director. The holders of a majority of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall designate the classes of such
initial Designated Directors.
(i) In the event that any Designated Director shall resign, be
unable to serve, or be removed (a "Replaced Designated Director"), the holders
of a majority of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall have
the right to designate a replacement to serve as Designated Director until the
next meeting of shareholders at which directors of the same class as the

from the Board, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
(ii) Except as provided below, at any time when the term of a
Designated Director shall have ended and there shall be a meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation to elect directors, the Corporation shall

(66-2/3%) and less than or equal to eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of
the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue
Date (plus any payment-in-kind dividends paid thereon), the number of Designated
Directors shall be reduced to two. If there are then more than two Designated
Directors serving on the board, the holders of a majority of the Series B

and the holders of such stock shall not have any right, pursuant to clause (ii)
or otherwise, to cause the Corporation to nominate a designated successor to
such removed director.
(iv) In the event that the holders of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock dispose of such stock or Conversion Shares
representing more than eighty percent (80%) and less than or equal ninety
percent (90%) of the voting power of the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date (plus any payment-in-kind
dividends paid thereon), the number of Designated Directors shall be reduced to
one. If there is then more than one Designated Director serving on the board,
the holders of a majority of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
shall remove all but one such Designated Director and the holders of such stock
shall not have any right, pursuant to clause (ii) or otherwise, to cause the
Corporation to nominate a designated successor to such removed director(s).
(v) In the event that the holders of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock dispose of such stock or Conversion Shares
representing more than ninety percent (90%) of the voting power of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date (plus
any payment-in-kind dividends paid thereon), there shall be no Designated
Directors and any Designated Directors then serving on the board shall be
removed, and their terms in office shall immediately expire, without any further
action of the holders of such stock.
(vi) The right to nominate directors pursuant to this provision
is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights and powers of the
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. Directors nominated by the
holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in their capacity
as holders of capital stock of the Corporation and not pursuant to clause (i),
(ii), or (iii) above are not Designated Directors for purposes of this
Certificate of Vote.
(vii) The vote of the holders of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock referred to in this Section may be exercised at a
-34-
<PAGE>
meeting of such holders or by written consent of holders with the requisite
percentage of the voting power outstanding.
(viii) Upon the reasonable request of the Corporation, the
holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall certify in
writing to the Corporation their holding of Conversion Shares.
(ix) For purposes of this Section:
(1) "voting power" shall mean the number of votes each
such share possesses in the election of directors; and
(2) "Conversion Shares" shall mean the shares of Common
Stock which are both (A) issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate
of Vote of Directors, and (B) held by a person who either (x) acquired the
shares of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock from which the
shares referred to in clause (A) of this definition were converted and has held
such Common Stock continuously thereafter, or (y) acquired the shares referred
to in clause (A) of this definition from a person referred to in clause (B)(x)
of this definition through a distribution to the partners by, or dissolution of,
a partnership.
(b) Appointment to Executive Committee. At any time at which the
----------------------------------
holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the
right to nominate directors for election to the board pursuant to Section 13(a)
hereof, such holders shall also have the right to designate a like number of
persons from among the members of the board of directors to be members of the
Executive Committee of the board (the "Designated Executive Committee Members").
In the event that any Designated Executive Committee Member shall resign, be
unable to serve, or be removed, the holders of a majority of the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate a
replacement Designated Executive Committee Member. Any Designated Executive
Committee Member may be removed from the Executive Committee, with or without
cause, by the holders of a majority of the Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock.
(c) Approval of Certain Actions. Neither the Corporation nor the
---------------------------
Board shall take any of the following actions without the approval of a majority
of the members of the Executive Committee of the Board: (A) any borrowing or
guarantee by the Corporation exceeding $15 million, (B) except for
-35-
<PAGE>
issuance of stock or stock options pursuant to (x) the Corporation's incentive
compensation plans and programs, (y) any warrants outstanding on the Original
Issue Date, or (z) the Rights, any issuance of stock (whether common or
preferred, whether voting or non-voting, whether junior, pari passu, or senior
to the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock) other than Common Stock
in an aggre gate amount not exceeding five percent (5%) of the Common Stock
issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date, (C) any strategic alliance
(other than a construction joint venture) involving a capital commitment by the
Corporation exceeding $5 million, (D) any asset sale by the Corporation or lease
by it as lessor exceeding $5 million (other than equipment dispositions in the
normal course of business); (E) any redemption or amendment of the Rights or the
preferred stock of the Corporation issuable upon the exercise of such Rights, or
any amendment of the Rights Agreement; and (F) any termination of (other than a
termination upon expiration) or amendment to the management agreement between
the Corporation and Tutor-Saliba Corporation; provided, however, that for
-------- -------
purposes of this Section 13(c), approval of the Executive Committee shall not be
required for any decision by the Board of Directors to redeem the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a).
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the board of directors of the
Corporation may take any of the actions specified in the preceding sentence if,
after having consulted with and considered the advice of outside counsel, it has
reasonably determined in good faith that the failure of the board to take such
action would be likely to cause the members of such board to breach their
fiduciary duties under applicable law.
14. Severability of Provisions. Whenever possible, each provision hereof
--------------------------
shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting
the remaining provisions hereof. If a court of competent jurisdiction should
determine that a provision hereof would be valid or enforceable if a period of
time were extended or shortened or a particular percentage were increased or
-36-
<PAGE>
decreased, then such court may make such change as shall be necessary to render
the provision in question effective and valid under applicable law.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

(the "Filing Date") that is sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of a
-----------
written request by the holder or holders of a majority of all outstanding
Conversion Shares and Series B Preferred Stock (such majority determined, for
purposes of this Section 2.1, based on the aggregate number of Conversion Shares
then outstanding plus the number of Conversion Shares into which any outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock are then convertible) (the "Initiating
----------
Holders"), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration
- -------
Statement for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (a "Shelf Registration") registering the
------------------
resale from time to time by the holders thereof of all of the Registrable
Securities upon and following conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (the
"Initial Shelf Registration"). The Registration Statement for any Shelf
- ---------------------------
Registration shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting
registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such holders in the
manner or manners designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more
Underwritten Offerings). The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause
the Initial Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as
promptly as is practicable and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration
continuously effective under the Securities Act until the end of the
Effectiveness Period.
(b) If the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf
Registration (as defined below) ceases to be effective for any reason at any
time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because all Registrable
Securities shall have been sold or shall have ceased to be Registrable
Securities), the Company shall use all
5
<PAGE>
reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within thirty days of such
cessation of effectiveness amend the Shelf Registration in a manner reasonably
expected to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness
thereof, or file an additional Shelf Registration covering all of the
Registrable Securities (a "Subsequent Shelf Registration"). If a Subsequent
-----------------------------
Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to
cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective as promptly as is
practicable after such filing and to keep such Registration Statement
continuously effective until the end of the Effectiveness Period.
(c) The Company shall supplement and amend the Shelf Registration if
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration, if required
by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested by any holder of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or by any Managing
Underwriter of such Registrable Securities.
(d) Each Series B Securityholder agrees that if it wishes to sell any
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration and related Prospectus,
it will do so only in accordance with this Section 2.1(d). Each holder of
Registrable Securities agrees to give written notice to the Company at least six
Business Days prior to any intended distribution of Registrable Securities under
the Shelf Registration, which notice shall specify the date on which such holder
intends to begin such distribution and any information with respect to such
holder and the intended distribution of Registrable Securities by such holder
required to amend or supplement the Registration Statement with respect to such
intended distribution of Registrable Securities by such holder; provided that no
--------
holder may give such notice unless such notice, together with notices given by
other holders of Registrable Securities joining in such notice or giving similar
notices, covers at least 30,000 Conversion Shares. As promptly as is
practicable after the date such notice is provided, and in any event within five
Business Days after such date, the Company shall either:
(i) (A) prepare and file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the
Shelf Registration or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement
or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or any other
required document, so that such Registration Statement will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the
Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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; (B)
provide each Notice Holder a copy of any documents filed pursuant to Section
2.1(d)(i)(A); and (C) inform each Notice Holder that the Company has complied
with its obligations in Section 2.1(d)(i)(A) and that the
6
<PAGE>
Registration Statement and related Prospectus may be used for the purpose of
selling all or any of such Registrable Securities (or that, if the Company has
filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration which has not yet
been declared effective, the Company will notify each Notice Holder to that
effect, will use all reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such
post-effective amendment and will immediately so notify each Notice Holder
when the amendment has become effective); each Notice Holder will sell all or
any or such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration and
related Prospectus only during the 45-day period commencing with the date on
which the Company gives notice, pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(i)(C), that the
Registration Statement and Prospectus may be used for such purpose (such 45-
day period is referred to as a "Selling Period"); each Notice Holder agrees
--------------
that it will not sell any Restricted Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus after such Selling Period without giving a new notice
of intention to sell pursuant to Section 2.1(d) hereof and receiving a further
notice from the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(i)(C) hereof; or
(ii) if, in the judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of
the Prospectus for a period of time due to pending material corporate
developments or similar material events that have not yet been publicly
disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure will be
prejudicial to the Company, the Company shall deliver a certificate in
writing, signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or
General Counsel, to the Notice Holders, the Special Counsel and the Managing
Underwriters, if any, to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such
certificate, each such Notice Holder's Selling Period will not commence until
such Notice Holder's receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus provided for in Section 2.1(d)(i)(A) hereof, or until it is advised
in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received
copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The Company will use all
reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed,
and the Selling Period will commence, upon the earlier of (x) public
disclosure of such pending material corporate development or similar material
event or (y) a determination by the Company that, in the judgment of the
Company, public disclosure of such material corporate development or similar
material event would not be prejudicial to the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not under any circumstances be entitled to
exercise its right under this Section 2.1(d) to defer the commencement of a
Selling Period more than one time in any three-month period or two times in
any twelve-month period, and the period in which a Selling Period is suspended
shall not exceed fifteen days unless the Company shall deliver to such Notice
Holders a second certificate to the effect set forth above, which shall have
the effect of extending the period during which such Selling Period is
deferred by up to an additional fifteen days, or such shorter period of time
as is specified in such second
7
<PAGE>
certificate. In no event shall the Company be permitted to extend the period
during which such Selling Period is deferred from and after the date a Notice
Holder provides notice to the Company in accordance with this Section 2.1(d)
of its intention to distribute Registrable Securities (a "Deferral Period")
---------------
beyond such 30-day period.
SECTION 2.2. Registration Procedures. In connection with the
-----------------------
Company's registration obligations under Section 2.1 hereof, the Company shall

effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided, that before filing
--------
any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto (other than documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference and that the Company is required by applicable
securities laws or stock exchange requirements to file) the Company shall
furnish to the Initial Stockholders, the Initiating Holders, the Special Counsel
and the Managing Underwriters of such offering, if any, copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of
the Initial Stockholders, the Initiating Holders, the Special Counsel and such
Managing Underwriters, and the Company shall not file any such Registration
Statement or amendment thereto or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto
(other than such documents which, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference therein and that the Company is required by
applicable securities laws or stock exchange requirements to file) to which the
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement, the Initial Stockholders, the Initiating Holders or the Special
Counsel shall reasonably object in writing within two full Business Days.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable period
specified in Section 2.1; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any
required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and

of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable
period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers
thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or such
Prospectus as so supplemented.

qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the existence of any fact or happening of
any event which makes any statement of a material fact in such Registration
Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue or which would require the making of
any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus in order that, in the
case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case
of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact or omit to state any material fact required

therein as required by applicable law, and (ii) make all required filings of
such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as promptly as is
practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be
incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
provided, that

the Company and its subsidiaries made pursuant to clause (i) above and to
evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting
agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company.

SECTION 2.3. Holder's Obligations.
--------------------
(a) Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees, by becoming a
transferee of any Registrable Securities, that no holder of Registrable
Securities shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless
such holder has furnished the Company with the notice required pursuant to
Section 2.1(d) hereof (including the information required to accompany such
notice) and, promptly after the Company's request, such other information
regarding such holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the
Company may from time to time reasonably request. The Company may exclude from
such registration the Registrable Securities of any holder who does not furnish
such information provided above for so long as such information is not so
furnished. Each holder of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration
Statement is being effected agrees promptly to furnish to the Company all
information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously
furnished to the Company by such holder not misleading. Any sale of any
Registrable Securities by any holder shall constitute a representation and
warranty by such holder that the information relating to such holder and its
plan of distribution is as set forth in the Prospectus delivered by such holder
in connection with such disposition, that such Prospectus does not as of the
time of such sale contain any untrue statement of a material fact relating to
such holder or its plan of distribution and that such Prospectus does not as of
the time of such sale omit to state any material fact relating to such holder or
its plan of distribution necessary to make the statements in such Prospectus, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(b) The Company agrees (x) that if any holder of Registrable
Securities shall send a written notice to the Company of an intended
distribution of
13
<PAGE>
Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(d),
the Company shall not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option
for the purchase of, effect any public sale or distribution of or otherwise
dispose of its equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for any of such securities during the period from first day of
the applicable Selling Period until the date that is 90 days after the date when
such holder shall have made such distribution of Registrable Securities under
the Shelf Registration, as the holder or managing underwriter (in the case of an
Underwritten Offering) shall advise the Company (provided that if the holder or
--------
managing underwriter shall fail to advise the Company of any such date prior to
the end of the applicable Selling Period, such period shall end on the last day
of the applicable Selling Period), except (i) as part of such registration, (ii)
pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms
thereto or (iii) as otherwise permitted by the managing underwriter of such
offering (if any), and (y) to use all reasonable efforts to cause each holder of
its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for any of such securities, in each case purchased from the Company
at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a public offering)
to agree not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the
purchase of, effect any public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of
such securities during such period except as part of such underwritten
registration; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any
--------
underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or
warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and
warranties regarding such holder and such holder's intended method of
distribution.
SECTION 2.4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident
---------------------
to the Company's performance of or compliance with this Agreement shall be borne
by the Company whether or not any of the Registration Statements become
effective. Such fees and expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) all
registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
(x) with respect to filings required to be made with the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. and (y) of compliance with federal securities or Blue
Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of Special
Counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities
laws of such jurisdictions as the Managing Underwriters, if any, or holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold may designate), (ii) printing
expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for
Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depositary Trust
Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is
requested by the Special Counsel or the holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities included in any Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone
and delivery expenses, (iv) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company and the Special Counsel in connection with the Registration, (v) fees
and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants referred to in
Section 2.2(k)(iii) hereof (including the expenses of any special audit and
"comfort" letters required by or incident to such performance) and (vi)
Securities Act liability insurance obtained by the Company in its sole
discretion. In
14
<PAGE>
addition, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing
legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be
registered on any securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed and the fees and expenses of any person, including
special experts, retained by the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 2.4, each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay all registration
expenses to the extent the Company is prohibited by applicable Blue Sky laws
from paying for or on behalf of such seller of Registrable Securities.
SECTION 2.5. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of
Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are covered by any
registration statement, its directors and officers and each other Person, if
any, who controls such holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any such
indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any registration statement under which such
securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse each such indemnified
party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability,
action or proceeding; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such
--------
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or
proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
such holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof. In addition, the
Company shall indemnify any underwriter of such offering and each other Person,
if any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act in substantially the same manner and to substantially the same extent as the
indemnity herein provided to each Indemnified Party. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of such holder or any such director, officer, underwriter or controlling
person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder.
(b) Each prospective seller of Registrable Securities hereunder
shall indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as
set forth in
15
<PAGE>
subdivision (a) of this Section 2.5) the Company, each director of the Company,
each officer of the Company and each other person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement
or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration
statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, if such statement or
alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf
of such seller specifically for use in the preparation of such registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus,
amendment or supplement. Any such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or
any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer
of such securities by such seller. The amount payable by any prospective seller
of Registrable Securities with respect to the indemnification set forth in this
subsection (b) in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities will
not exceed the amount of the gain realized by such prospective seller pursuant
to such offering.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the
preceding subdivisions of this Section 2.5, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give
written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that
--------
the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding
subdivisions of this Section 2.5, except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such
action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified
party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and
indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that the
indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the
defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the
indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from
all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. No indemnified party
shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such
action the defense of which has been assumed by an indemnifying party without
the consent of such indemnifying party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in the preceding
subdivisions of this Section 2.5 is unavailable to an indemnified party in
respect of any expense, loss,
16
<PAGE>
claim, damage or liability referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such expense, loss, claim,
damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder or
underwriter, as the case may be, on the other from the distribution of the
Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder or underwriter,
as the case may be, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such expense, loss, damage or liability, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company
on the one hand and the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other
in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the product of the Liquidation
Preference (as defined in Exhibit 1.7 of the Stock Agreement) multiplied by the
number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock into which the Conversion Shares
subject to the relevant distribution were converted, bears to (ii) the gain
realized by the selling holder or the underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the underwriter, as the case may be. The relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on
the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, by the holder or
by the underwriter and parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;
provided that the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the
- --------
benefit of any indemnified party if indemnification would be unavailable to such
indemnified party by reason of the proviso contained in the first sentence of
subdivision (a) of this Section 2.5, and in no event shall the obligation of any
indemnifying party to contribute under this subdivision (d) exceed the amount
that such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of
indemnification if the indemnification provided for under subdivisions (a) or
(b) of this Section 2.5 had been available under the circumstances.
The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subdivision (d)
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders and any underwriters
--- ----
were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph and subdivision (c) of this Section
2.5. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
17
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subdivision (d), no holder of
Registrable Securities or underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of any such holder, the gain
realized by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities or (ii) in the
case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable Securities
purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public
exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that such holder or
underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission. 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.
SECTION 2.6. Rule 144; Rule 144A; Form S-3.
-----------------------------
(a) The Company will file all reports required to be filed by it under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by
the Commission thereunder and will take such further action as any holder of
Registrable Securities may reasonably request, 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 exemptions
provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended
from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by
the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the
Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements. The Company further covenants that it will
cooperate with any holder of Registrable Securities and take such further
reasonable action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request
(including, without limitation, making such reasonable representations as any
such holder may reasonably request), 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 exemptions provided by
Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
(b) For so long as any shares of Registrable Securities are
restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities
Act, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which
it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, make available to
any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with the sale of such holder
Registrable Securities and any prospective purchaser of Registrable Securities
from such, in each case upon request, the information specified in, and meeting
the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
(c) The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it
under the Exchange Act and shall comply with all other eligibility requirements
for use of Form S-3 set forth in the instructions to Form S-3 (other than
Registration Requirement A.5).

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of
November __, 1996 by and among Perini Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
("Perini"), Tutor-Saliba Corporation, a California corporation ("Tutor-Saliba")
and Ronald N. Tutor ("Tutor"), an individual and President of Tutor-Saliba.
WHEREAS, Perini has had some difficulty meeting its cash requirements for
the past year due to, inter alia, its high level of capital-intensive civil
construction work and the cash support required by its real estate assets;
WHEREAS, Perini's financial condition has impeded its ability to perform on
existing projects and to bid on new projects;
WHEREAS, during the course of 1996, Perini engaged in an extensive search
for new capital to support its cash needs and to provide it the opportunity to
improve operations and improve its competitiveness in the general contracting
and construction industry;
WHEREAS, as a result of its search for capital, Perini entered into a Stock
Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 24, 1996 by and among Perini, PB Capital
Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("PB Capital Partners"), and
Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P., a California limited partnership ("RCBA")
(as amended through the date hereof, the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), pursuant
to which it is contemplated that Perini will issue convertible preferred stock
to PB Capital Partners in exchange for an investment by PB Capital Partners of
$30,030,000 (the "Investment");
WHEREAS, Tutor-Saliba is a limited partner of PB Capital Partners;
WHEREAS, Tutor-Saliba directly owns approximately 7.24% of the outstanding
common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock") of Perini;
WHEREAS, Tutor-Saliba has from time to time engaged in construction joint
ventures with Perini under the name Tutor-Saliba/Perini;
WHEREAS, considering the existing and potential relationships, direct and
indirect, between Tutor-Saliba and Perini, as well as Tutor's expertise and
achievements in the construction industry, the parties hereto desire, in
connection with and contingent upon the Investment, that Tutor-Saliba provide
the services of Tutor to Perini, for the purpose of providing direction to
Perini with respect to its ongoing and future construction operations and
improving Perini's operating efficiency and thus its ability to successfully
compete for new projects and in new areas;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:
<PAGE>
1. Effectiveness. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 6 hereof,
-------------
this Agreement shall become effective on the date of the closing of the
Investment (the "Effective Date").

----------
(a) Tutor-Saliba and Tutor each hereby agree to provide to Perini the
management services of Tutor, to assist Perini from time to time (but for no
more than ten (10) days in any calendar month, unless the parties otherwise
agree in writing) as described in Section 2(b) hereof or as the parties hereto
may otherwise agree.
(b) Tutor shall initially serve as acting Chief Operating Officer of
Perini, and will provide direction with respect to Perini's ongoing and future
construction operations, with the goal of achieving greater operating
efficiencies, reducing Perini's need for working capital, reducing Perini's
exposure to risk by negotiating and bidding on construction projects that will
yield higher profit margins than current projects, negotiating with Perini's
lenders, bonding companies and insurers, and generally improving Perini's cash
flow situation and competitive position in the general contracting and
construction industry.
(c) Perini hereby agrees to take all action which may be required to:
(i) appoint Tutor acting Chief Operating Officer of Perini; (ii) provide Tutor
with the use of an office at Perini's principal executive offices and
administrative and other support services as may be reasonably necessary in
connection with the performance of Tutor's services under Section 2(b) hereof;
(iii) make available to Tutor the services of such of its employees and
consultants as may be reasonably necessary to the performance of the services
described in Section 2(b) above; and (iv) issue the Option (as defined below)
and otherwise pay the management fee pursuant to Section 3 hereof.
3. Compensation. In return for the provision of Tutor's services, Perini
------------
shall pay a management fee as follows:
(a) On the Effective Date, Perini shall issue to Tutor, pursuant to
Perini's 1982 Stock Option and Long-Term Performance Incentive Compensation
Plan, as amended (the "Plan") (or, in the event options are unavailable for
issuance under such plan, with similar terms and conditions as under the Plan),
an option (the "Option") exercisable for 150,000 shares of Common Stock, with an
exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the
American Stock Exchange on the day prior to the Effective Date. The Option will
first become exercisable forty months after the Effective Date.
(b) Beginning on the Effective Date, Perini shall pay a fee to Tutor-
Saliba at the rate of $150,000 per year, such amount to be paid in twelve equal
monthly installments in arrears on the 15th of each month, or as the parties
hereto shall otherwise agree in writing.

representation, warranty or guaranty to Perini relating to the services to be
performed by Tutor pursuant to this Agreement or the quality or results of such
services.
(b) Neither Tutor nor Tutor-Saliba shall be liable to Perini or to any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates or to any third party for failure to perform
the services to be performed by either of them pursuant to this Agreement for
any expense, claim, loss or damage, including, without limitation, indirect,
special, consequential or exemplary damages, suffered other than by reason of
such party's intentional failure to perform the services to be performed by such
party pursuant to this Agreement, or by reason of action taken or omitted to be
taken by such party which was in bad faith and in a manner not reasonably
believed by such party to be in the best interests of Perini.

---------------
Saliba harmless against all loss, cost, liability and expense arising out of the

shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) December 31, 1998, (ii)
Tutor's inability to perform the services contemplated hereby, whether because
of death, disability or otherwise, (iii) written notice from Perini to Tutor
after, in the determination of a majority of the Executive Committee of the
Board of Directors of Perini, Tutor has failed to perform his obligations under
this Agreement, and (iv) the reasonable determination by the Board of Directors
or Executive Committee of Perini, and written notice thereof to Tutor, that it
would be inadvisable for Tutor to continue performing the services contemplated
by this Agreement.

AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS OF PERINI CORPORATION
------------------------------------------
1. Section 3.3 of the By-Laws shall be amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:
"3.3 Executive Committee and Other Committees. The directors,
----------------------------------------
by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, shall elect from
their number an Executive Committee composed of five members and may elect
such other committees the directors shall determine, and delegate to them
authority to act as and for the Board to the extent permitted by law and as
provided herein.
"(A) Neither the board of directors nor the Corporation
shall take any of the following actions without the prior approval of a
majority of the members of the Executive Committee: (a) any borrowing or
guarantee by the corporation exceeding $15 million, (b) except for
issuances of stock or stock options pursuant to the corporation's incentive
compensation plans or programs, any issu ance of stock (whether common or
preferred, whether voting or non-voting, whether junior or senior to the
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock) other than Common Stock of
the corporation in an amount not exceeding five percent (5%) of the issued
and outstanding Common Stock on September __, 1996, (c) any strategic
alliance (other than a construction joint venture) involving a capital
commitment exceeding $5 million, (d) any asset sale or lease exceeding $5
million (other than equipment dispositions in the normal course of
business); (e) any redemption or amendment of the Preferred Share Purchase
Rights, of the kind authorized and declared on September 23, 1988 and
distributed by the Corporation in September 1988 as the same have been
amended prior to September __, 1996 ('Rights'), or the preferred stock of
the Corporation issuable upon the exercise of such Rights, or any amendment
of the Rights Agreement by and between the Corporation and the First
National Bank at Boston, dated as of September 23, 1988, as amended; and
(f) any termination of (other than a termination upon expiration) or
amendment to the management agreement between the Corporation and Tutor-
Saliba Corporation; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section
-------- -------
3.3(A) of the By-Laws, approval of the Executive Committee shall not be
required for any decision by the Board of Directors to redeem the Series B
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a) of the
terms thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the board of
directors of the Corporation may take any of the actions specified in the
preceding sentence if, after having consulted with and considered the
advice of outside counsel, it has reasonably determined in good faith that
the failure of the board to take such action would be likely to cause the
members of such board to breach their fiduciary duties under applicable
law.
"(B) The Executive Committee shall make the rules for the
conduct of its business; provided, however, that it shall have no permanent
-------- -------
<PAGE>
chairman, shall report its actions to the board of directors, and shall
keep minutes of its meetings. Other Committees created and elected by the
directors may exercise such powers other than those powers delegated to the
Executive Committee, as the directors determine. Except as the directors
may otherwise determine, any such other committee may make the rules for
the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors
or waived, its business shall be conducted, or its actions taken as nearly
as may be the same manner as is provided for by these by-laws with respect
to meetings or for the conduct of business or the taking of action by the
directors.
"(C) All members of such committees shall hold such
offices, and all such committees shall exist, solely at the pleasure of the
board of directors; provided, however, that the Executive Committee may not
-------- -------
be disbanded, reorganized, or reconstituted without the prior written
approval of a majority of the members of the Executive Committee as
constituted prior to such change (if the holders of the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock then have the right to designate more than one
member of the Executive Committee pursuant to the Certificate of Vote
establishing such series, including the members so designated by the
holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock); provided
--------
further, however, that the board shall not take any action that would
------- -------
result in there being fewer members of the Executive Committee designated
by the holders of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock than
such holders are entitled to designate pursuant to the Certificate of Vote
establishing such series. The board shall have the power to rescind any
action of any committee (other than decisions or actions of the Executive
Committee pursuant to Section 3.3(A) or 4.5 hereof); provided, however,
-------- -------
that no such rescission shall have any retroactive effect."
2. Section 4.5 of the By-Laws shall be amended by replacing the
phrase "subject to the direction of the directors" each time it appears therein
with "subject to the direction of the Executive Committee for so long as it
exists and thereafter subject to the direction of the directors."

before any arbitrator) pending or, to the knowledge of such Party,

its respective obligations under the Shareholders' Agreement.

for identifying and structuring Account P's investment until such time as the
ultimate worth can be determined;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the respective
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, each of the parties agrees as follows:
1. Services. RCBA has negotiated the terms of the Stock Purchase
--------
Agreement and the structure of the Series B Preferred Stock (a portion of which
Account P desires to acquire). RCBA in the future shall provide Account P with
quarterly reports on the performance of the Series B Preferred Stock. RCBA
shall have no discretion over the acquisition or disposition of Account P's
shares of the Series B Preferred Stock.
2. Fee for Reporting Services. For providing quarterly reports on the
--------------------------
performance of
<PAGE>
the Series B Preferred Stock, Account P shall pay RCBA a fee of 0.875% per annum
of the amount invested. Account P shall have the right to terminate the
reporting services at any time and to cease paying for those services.
3. Fee for Finding and Structuring. Upon the disposition of all the
-------------------------------
Shares, Account P shall pay RCBA a fee for finding and structuring the
investment equal to:
(a) five percent (5%) of the Realized Profits. "Realized Profits"
shall mean the number, not less than zero, equal to (i) the gross
proceeds of any and all dispositions of the Shares by Account P,
minus (ii) the sum of (x) the amount of capital invested
(including transaction fees and expenses incurred by Account P to
the extent not reimbursed by Seller), plus (y) an amount equal to
the reporting fees paid pursuant to paragraph 2, above, plus (z)
in the case of this section 3(a) only, an amount of profit
necessary to attain an internal rate of return on invested capital
equal to nine percent (9%) per annum;
(b) an additional five percent (5%) of Realized Profits if the Shares
generate an internal rate of return in excess of fifteen percent
(15%) per annum;
(c) an additional five percent (5%) of Realized Profits if the Shares
generate an internal rate of return in excess of twenty-two and
one-half percent (22.5%) per annum; and
(d) an additional five percent (5%) of Realized Profits if the Shares
generate an internal rate of return in excess of thirty percent
(30%) per annum.
For purposes of sections (a) through (d) of this paragraph 3, the internal rate
of return shall be calculated: (x) after deducting (i) the amount of reporting
fees paid pursuant to paragraph 2, above, plus (ii) transaction fees and
expenses incurred by Account P to the extent not reimbursed by Seller or
capitalized, but (y) without first deducting the finding and structuring fees to
be paid pursuant to sections (a) through (d) of this paragraph 3. If Account P
has not disposed of all its Shares on or before the date which is the fifth
anniversary of the date on which Account P purchased the Series B Preferred
Stock, the finding and structuring fee provided for in this paragraph 3 shall be
calculated by (i) treating the shares of Series B Preferred Stock that have not
been converted into common stock of Seller as having been converted into common
stock of Seller and (ii) that all Shares not previously disposed of as having
been disposed of on such fifth anniversary date for a price equal to the average
of the closing price of such common stock for the preceding thirty (30) trading
days.
4. Transaction Fees. Any and all fees earned by RCBA or any of its
----------------
officers, directors and Affiliates which are paid by the Seller relating to the
Series B Preferred Stock, including but not limited to, origination fees,
investment banking fees, management fees, and
-2-
<PAGE>
exit fees shall be paid to Account P on a pro rata basis, unless the parties
hereto otherwise agree. For purposes of this provision, "pro rata" shall mean
the fraction the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by Account P
(assuming that all such Shares have been converted into common stock of Seller)
and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares owned by PB Capital
and Account P (assuming that all such Shares have been converted into common
stock of Seller).
5. Expenses. Account P shall be reimbursed by PB for up to $45,000 of
--------
its expenses in connection with its purchase of the Series B Preferred Stock.
Such amounts reimbursed by PB shall be treated as expenses of PB for purposes of
the following sentence. Account P shall bear its proportionate share of
transaction and due diligence expenses, including legal fees, incurred by RCBA
or PB, to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by Seller.
6. Further Representations and Warranties of Account P. In addition to
---------------------------------------------------
the obligations undertaken herein, Account P hereby represents and warrants to,
and agrees with, RCBA (which representations and warranties shall be true and
complete on he date hereof and on the Closing Date, as defined in the Stock
Purchase Agreement) as follows:
(a) Account P has the full power and authority to execute and deliver
this Services Agreement. Account P has taken all action required
by law, its charter, its by-laws or otherwise required to be taken
by it to authorize the execution and delivery of this Services
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated to
be performed by it under the Services Agreement.
(b) The execution and delivery of the Services Agreement will not (i)
conflict with, or result in a breach of, any provision of Account
P's charter or by-laws or any other governing document or (ii) to
the knowledge of Account P, violate any judgment, order, writ,
injunction, or decree applicable to Account P. No consent,
authorization or approval of, or declaration, filing or
registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or regulatory
authority is required in connection with the execution and
delivery of, and the performance by Account P of its obligations
under this Services Agreement.
(c) There is no claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation
(whether in law or equity, before or by any government entity or
before any arbitrator) pending or, to the knowledge of Account P,
threatened against or affecting Account P, the outcome of which
would in any manner impair the ability of Account P to perform its
obligations under the Services Agreement.
7. Representations and Warranties of RCBA. In addition to RCBA's
--------------------------------------
obligations as provided herein, RCBA hereby represents and warrants, and agrees
with Account P (which
-3-
<PAGE>
representations and warranties shall be true and complete on he date hereof and
on the Closing Date, as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) as follows:
(a) RCBA is a limited partnership duly formed, validly existing and in

authority to execute and deliver this Services Agreement and own
its properties and carry on its business as described its

against RCBA which, if adversely determined, would materially

not result in the violation of or constitute a default under or
breach of any contract, indenture, agreement, instrument or
mortgage applicable to RCBA.

------------
discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom any waiver, change, discharge or termination is sought.

(the "Filing Date") that is sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of a
-----------
written request by the holder or holders of a majority of all outstanding
Conversion Shares and Series B Preferred Stock (such majority determined, for
purposes of this Section 2.1, based on the aggregate number of Conversion Shares
then outstanding plus the number of Conversion Shares into which any outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock are then convertible) (the "Initiating
----------
Holders"), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration
- -------
Statement for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (a "Shelf Registration") registering the
------------------
resale from time to time by the holders thereof of all of the Registrable
Securities upon and following conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (the
"Initial Shelf Registration"). The Registration Statement for any Shelf
- ---------------------------
Registration shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting
registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such holders in the
manner or manners designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more
Underwritten Offerings). The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause
the Initial Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as
promptly as is practicable and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration
continuously effective under the Securities Act until the end of the
Effectiveness Period.
(b) If the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf
Registration (as defined below) ceases to be effective for any reason at any
time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because all Registrable
Securities shall have been sold or shall have ceased to be Registrable
Securities), the Company shall use all
5
<PAGE>
reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within thirty days of such
cessation of effectiveness amend the Shelf Registration in a manner reasonably
expected to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness
thereof, or file an additional Shelf Registration covering all of the
Registrable Securities (a "Subsequent Shelf Registration"). If a Subsequent
-----------------------------
Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to
cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective as promptly as is
practicable after such filing and to keep such Registration Statement
continuously effective until the end of the Effectiveness Period.
(c) The Company shall supplement and amend the Shelf Registration if
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration, if required
by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested by any holder of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or by any Managing
Underwriter of such Registrable Securities.
(d) Each Series B Securityholder agrees that if it wishes to sell any
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration and related Prospectus,
it will do so only in accordance with this Section 2.1(d). Each holder of
Registrable Securities agrees to give written notice to the Company at least six
Business Days prior to any intended distribution of Registrable Securities under
the Shelf Registration, which notice shall specify the date on which such holder
intends to begin such distribution and any information with respect to such
holder and the intended distribution of Registrable Securities by such holder
required to amend or supplement the Registration Statement with respect to such
intended distribution of Registrable Securities by such holder; provided that no
--------
holder may give such notice unless such notice, together with notices given by
other holders of Registrable Securities joining in such notice or giving similar
notices, covers at least 30,000 Conversion Shares. As promptly as is
practicable after the date such notice is provided, and in any event within five
Business Days after such date, the Company shall either:
(i) (A) prepare and file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the
Shelf Registration or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement
or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or any other
required document, so that such Registration Statement will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the
Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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; (B)
provide each Notice Holder a copy of any documents filed pursuant to Section
2.1(d)(i)(A); and (C) inform each Notice Holder that the Company has complied
with its obligations in Section 2.1(d)(i)(A) and that the
6
<PAGE>
Registration Statement and related Prospectus may be used for the purpose of
selling all or any of such Registrable Securities (or that, if the Company has
filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration which has not yet
been declared effective, the Company will notify each Notice Holder to that
effect, will use all reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such
post-effective amendment and will immediately so notify each Notice Holder
when the amendment has become effective); each Notice Holder will sell all or
any or such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration and
related Prospectus only during the 45-day period commencing with the date on
which the Company gives notice, pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(i)(C), that the
Registration Statement and Prospectus may be used for such purpose (such 45-
day period is referred to as a "Selling Period"); each Notice Holder agrees
--------------
that it will not sell any Restricted Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus after such Selling Period without giving a new notice
of intention to sell pursuant to Section 2.1(d) hereof and receiving a further
notice from the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(i)(C) hereof; or
(ii) if, in the judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of
the Prospectus for a period of time due to pending material corporate
developments or similar material events that have not yet been publicly
disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure will be
prejudicial to the Company, the Company shall deliver a certificate in
writing, signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or
General Counsel, to the Notice Holders, the Special Counsel and the Managing
Underwriters, if any, to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such
certificate, each such Notice Holder's Selling Period will not commence until
such Notice Holder's receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus provided for in Section 2.1(d)(i)(A) hereof, or until it is advised
in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received
copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The Company will use all
reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed,
and the Selling Period will commence, upon the earlier of (x) public
disclosure of such pending material corporate development or similar material
event or (y) a determination by the Company that, in the judgment of the
Company, public disclosure of such material corporate development or similar
material event would not be prejudicial to the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not under any circumstances be entitled to
exercise its right under this Section 2.1(d) to defer the commencement of a
Selling Period more than one time in any three-month period or two times in
any twelve-month period, and the period in which a Selling Period is suspended
shall not exceed fifteen days unless the Company shall deliver to such Notice
Holders a second certificate to the effect set forth above, which shall have
the effect of extending the period during which such Selling Period is
deferred by up to an additional fifteen days, or such shorter period of time
as is specified in such second
7
<PAGE>
certificate. In no event shall the Company be permitted to extend the period
during which such Selling Period is deferred from and after the date a Notice
Holder provides notice to the Company in accordance with this Section 2.1(d)
of its intention to distribute Registrable Securities (a "Deferral Period")
---------------
beyond such 30-day period.
SECTION 2.2. Registration Procedures. In connection with the
-----------------------
Company's registration obligations under Section 2.1 hereof, the Company shall
effect such registrations to permit the sale of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and
pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or
Registration Statements on any appropriate form under the Securities Act
available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders thereof in
accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and use
its reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become
effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided, that before filing
--------
any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto (other than documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference and that the Company is required by applicable
securities laws or stock exchange requirements to file) the Company shall
furnish to the Initial Stockholders, the Initiating Holders, the Special Counsel
and the Managing Underwriters of such offering, if any, copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of
the Initial Stockholders, the Initiating Holders, the Special Counsel and such
Managing Underwriters, and the Company shall not file any such Registration
Statement or amendment thereto or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto
(other than such documents which, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference therein and that the Company is required by
applicable securities laws or stock exchange requirements to file) to which the
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement, the Initial Stockholders, the Initiating Holders or the Special
Counsel shall reasonably object in writing within two full Business Days.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable period
specified in Section 2.1; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any
required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable
period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers
thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or such
Prospectus as so supplemented.

<PAGE>
(c) Notify the selling Series B Securityholders, the Initial Stock
holders, the Initiating Holders, the Special Counsel and the Managing
Underwriters, if any, promptly, and (if requested by any such person) confirm
such notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus, any Prospectus supplement, a
Registration Statement or a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement
has been filed with the SEC, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any
request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for

qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable

proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the existence of any fact or happening of
any event which makes any statement of a material fact in such Registration
Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue or which would require the making of
any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus in order that, in the
case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case
of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact or omit to state any material fact required

exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is
required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things necessary

such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(i) Cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other

reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the
granting of such approvals, as may be necessary to enable the selling
10
<PAGE>
holder or holders thereof or the Managing Underwriters, if any, to consummate
the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
(j) During any Selling Period (other than during a Deferral Period),

untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and so that the Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold
thereunder, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement, use all reasonable efforts to cause it to become effective as
promptly as is practicable.
(k) Enter into such agreements (including, in the event of an

is customary in Underwritten Offerings) and take all such other actions in
connection therewith (including, in the event of an underwritten offering, those
reasonably requested by the Managing Underwriters, if any, or the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold) in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and in such
connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into, and if the

warranties, subject to the Company's ability to do so, to the holders of such

requested; (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof
(which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any, Special Counsel and the

requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably
requested by such Special Counsel and Managing Underwriters; (iii) obtain
"comfort"
11
<PAGE>
letters and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of
the Company (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountants of any
subsidiary of the Company or any business acquired or to be acquired by the
Company for which financial statements and financial data is, or is required to

Underwriters, if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters

Underwritten Offerings; and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may
be reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities being sold, the Special Counsel and the Managing Underwriters, if
any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of
the Company and its subsidiaries made pursuant to clause (i) above and to
evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting
agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company.
(l) If requested in connection with a disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, make available for inspection
by a representative of the holders of Registrable Securities being sold, any
Managing Underwriter participating in any disposition of Registrable Securities,
if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such selling holders or
underwriter, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the executive
officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply
all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Managing
Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such disposition; subject
to reasonable written assurances by each such person that such information will
only be used in connection with matters relating to such Registration Statement.
(m) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and
make generally available to its securityholders earning statements (which need
not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities
Act) no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days
after the end of any 12-month period 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 commitment or best efforts underwritten offering,

first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company commencing after the

the extent applicable, to make such filings under the Exchange Act (e.g., the
filing of a Registration Statement on Form 8-A) and to have such filings
declared effective thereunder.
(q) Cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(r) Provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar
for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement from and

SECTION 2.3. Holder's Obligations.
--------------------
(a) Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees, by becoming a
transferee of any Registrable Securities, that no holder of Registrable
Securities shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless
such holder has furnished the Company with the notice required pursuant to
Section 2.1(d) hereof (including the information required to accompany such
notice) and, promptly after the Company's request, such other information
regarding such holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the
Company may from time to time reasonably request. The Company may exclude from
such registration the Registrable Securities of any holder who does not furnish
such information provided above for so long as such information is not so
furnished. Each holder of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration
Statement is being effected agrees promptly to furnish to the Company all
information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously
furnished to the Company by such holder not misleading. Any sale of any
Registrable Securities by any holder shall constitute a representation and
warranty by such holder that the information relating to such holder and its
plan of distribution is as set forth in the Prospectus delivered by such holder
in connection with such disposition, that such Prospectus does not as of the
time of such sale contain any untrue statement of a material fact relating to
such holder or its plan of distribution and that such Prospectus does not as of
the time of such sale omit to state any material fact relating to such holder or
its plan of distribution necessary to make the statements in such Prospectus, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(b) The Company agrees (x) that if any holder of Registrable
Securities shall send a written notice to the Company of an intended
distribution of
13
<PAGE>
Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(d),
the Company shall not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option
for the purchase of, effect any public sale or distribution of or otherwise
dispose of its equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for any of such securities during the period from first day of
the applicable Selling Period until the date that is 90 days after the date when
such holder shall have made such distribution of Registrable Securities under
the Shelf Registration, as the holder or managing underwriter (in the case of an
Underwritten Offering) shall advise the Company (provided that if the holder or
--------
managing underwriter shall fail to advise the Company of any such date prior to
the end of the applicable Selling Period, such period shall end on the last day
of the applicable Selling Period), except (i) as part of such registration, (ii)
pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms
thereto or (iii) as otherwise permitted by the managing underwriter of such
offering (if any), and (y) to use all reasonable efforts to cause each holder of
its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for any of such securities, in each case purchased from the Company
at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a public offering)
to agree not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the
purchase of, effect any public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of
such securities during such period except as part of such underwritten
registration; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any
--------
underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or
warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and
warranties regarding such holder and such holder's intended method of
distribution.
SECTION 2.4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident
---------------------
to the Company's performance of or compliance with this Agreement shall be borne
by the Company whether or not any of the Registration Statements become
effective. Such fees and expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) all
registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
(x) with respect to filings required to be made with the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. and (y) of compliance with federal securities or Blue
Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of Special
Counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities
laws of such jurisdictions as the Managing Underwriters, if any, or holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold may designate), (ii) printing
expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for
Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depositary Trust
Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is
requested by the Special Counsel or the holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities included in any Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone
and delivery expenses, (iv) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company and the Special Counsel in connection with the Registration, (v) fees
and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants referred to in
Section 2.2(k)(iii) hereof (including the expenses of any special audit and
"comfort" letters required by or incident to such performance) and (vi)
Securities Act liability insurance obtained by the Company in its sole
discretion. In
14
<PAGE>
addition, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing
legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be
registered on any securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed and the fees and expenses of any person, including
special experts, retained by the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 2.4, each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay all registration
expenses to the extent the Company is prohibited by applicable Blue Sky laws
from paying for or on behalf of such seller of Registrable Securities.
SECTION 2.5. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of
Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are covered by any
registration statement, its directors and officers and each other Person, if
any, who controls such holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any such
indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any registration statement under which such
securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse each such indemnified
party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability,
action or proceeding; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such
--------
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or
proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
such holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof. In addition, the
Company shall indemnify any underwriter of such offering and each other Person,
if any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act in substantially the same manner and to substantially the same extent as the
indemnity herein provided to each Indemnified Party. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of such holder or any such director, officer, underwriter or controlling
person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder.
(b) Each prospective seller of Registrable Securities hereunder
shall indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as
set forth in
15
<PAGE>
subdivision (a) of this Section 2.5) the Company, each director of the Company,
each officer of the Company and each other person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement
or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration
statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, if such statement or
alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf
of such seller specifically for use in the preparation of such registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus,
amendment or supplement. Any such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or
any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer
of such securities by such seller. The amount payable by any prospective seller
of Registrable Securities with respect to the indemnification set forth in this
subsection (b) in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities will
not exceed the amount of the gain realized by such prospective seller pursuant
to such offering.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the
preceding subdivisions of this Section 2.5, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give
written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that
--------
the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding
subdivisions of this Section 2.5, except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such
action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified
party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and
indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that the
indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the
defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the
indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from
all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. No indemnified party
shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such
action the defense of which has been assumed by an indemnifying party without
the consent of such indemnifying party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in the preceding
subdivisions of this Section 2.5 is unavailable to an indemnified party in
respect of any expense, loss,
16
<PAGE>
claim, damage or liability referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such expense, loss, claim,
damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder or
underwriter, as the case may be, on the other from the distribution of the
Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder or underwriter,
as the case may be, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such expense, loss, damage or liability, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company
on the one hand and the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other
in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the product of the Liquidation
Preference (as defined in Exhibit 1.7 of the Stock Agreement) multiplied by the
number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock into which the Conversion Shares
subject to the relevant distribution were converted, bears to (ii) the gain
realized by the selling holder or the underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the underwriter, as the case may be. The relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on
the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, by the holder or
by the underwriter and parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;
provided that the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the
- --------
benefit of any indemnified party if indemnification would be unavailable to such
indemnified party by reason of the proviso contained in the first sentence of
subdivision (a) of this Section 2.5, and in no event shall the obligation of any
indemnifying party to contribute under this subdivision (d) exceed the amount
that such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of
indemnification if the indemnification provided for under subdivisions (a) or
(b) of this Section 2.5 had been available under the circumstances.
The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subdivision (d)
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders and any underwriters
--- ----
were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph and subdivision (c) of this Section
2.5. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
17
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subdivision (d), no holder of
Registrable Securities or underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of any such holder, the gain
realized by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities or (ii) in the
case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable Securities
purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public
exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that such holder or
underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission. 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.
SECTION 2.6. Rule 144; Rule 144A; Form S-3.
-----------------------------
(a) The Company will file all reports required to be filed by it under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by
the Commission thereunder and will take such further action as any holder of
Registrable Securities may reasonably request, 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 exemptions
provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended
from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by
the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the
Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements. The Company further covenants that it will
cooperate with any holder of Registrable Securities and take such further
reasonable action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request
(including, without limitation, making such reasonable representations as any
such holder may reasonably request), 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 exemptions provided by
Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
(b) For so long as any shares of Registrable Securities are
restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities
Act, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which
it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, make available to
any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with the sale of such holder
Registrable Securities and any prospective purchaser of Registrable Securities
from such, in each case upon request, the information specified in, and meeting
the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
(c) The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it
under the Exchange Act and shall comply with all other eligibility requirements
for use of Form S-3 set forth in the instructions to Form S-3 (other than
Registration Requirement A.5).
