Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 13, 2010, Tutor Perini Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated September 8, 2008, as amended by a First Amendment dated February 23, 2009 (collectively, the “Existing Agreement”).

The Amendment increases the Company’s borrowing capacity by $50 million over the Existing Agreement, allowing the Company to borrow up to $205 million on a revolving basis. The Amendment maintains the Company’s ability to increase the base facility, under certain circumstances, by up to an additional $45 million and provides favorable modifications to certain financial and other covenants in place under the Existing Agreement.  Amounts outstanding under the Amendment bear interest at rates determined by the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and are defined in the Amendment.  There has been no change to the Company’s supplementary credit facility as a result of the Amendment.

The forgoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
