                                 URS CORPORATION
                           1999 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

                        RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

         Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice ("Grant Notice")
and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (collectively, the "Award") and in
consideration of your past services, URS Corporation (the "Company") has awarded
you a restricted stock award under its 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
for the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to the Award
indicated in the Grant Notice. Except where indicated otherwise, defined terms
not explicitly defined in this Restricted Stock Award Agreement but defined in
the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

         The details of your Award are as follows:

         1. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein and the
provisions contained in the employment agreement that you entered into with the
Company on December 16, 1991, as amended from time to time (the "Employment
Agreement"), and subject to acceleration under certain circumstances set forth
below, your Award shall vest as provided in the Grant Notice. The shares subject
to your Award will be held by the Company until your interest in such shares
vests. As each portion of your interest in the shares vests, the Company shall
issue you a stock certificate covering such vested shares.

         2. NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of shares subject to your Award may be
adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in the
Plan.

         3. PAYMENT. This Award was granted in consideration of your past
services to the Company. You will not be required to make any payment to the
Company with respect to your receipt of the Award or the vesting thereof.

         4. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You will not be issued any shares under
your Award unless the shares are either (a) then registered under the Securities
Act or (b) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply
with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not
receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in
material compliance with such laws and regulations.

         5. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Prior to the time that they have vested, you
may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of the shares subject to the
Award. For example, you may not use shares subject to the Award that have not
vested as security for a loan. In addition, you may not transfer, pledge, sell
or otherwise dispose of the shares subject to the Award that have vested at any
time when applicable securities laws or Company policies would prohibit such a
transfer. This restriction on the transfer of vested shares will lapse upon your
termination of Continuous Service.

         6. TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE.

            (a) Except as may be provided in your Employment Agreement (subject,
however, to Section 8 hereof), in the event your Continuous Service terminates
for reasons other than your death or Disability (as that term is defined in your
Employment Agreement), you will be credited with the vesting that has accrued
under your Award as of the date of your termination of Continuous Service.
Except as may be provided in your Employment Agreement (subject, however, to
Section 8 hereof), you will accrue no additional vesting of your Award following
your termination of Continuous Service. To the extent your Award is not vested
on the date of your termination, it shall automatically lapse on such date.

            (b) In the event your Continuous Service terminates due to your
death, the Award automatically shall become vested in full as of the date of
your death and your rights under the Award shall pass by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.

            (c) In the event your Continuous Service terminates due to your
Disability (as that term is defined in your Employment Agreement), the Award
automatically shall become vested in full as of the date of your termination of
Continuous Service.

         7. ATTAINMENT OF AGE 65. In the event that you attain age sixty-five
(65) prior to the date on which your Continuous Service terminates, the Award
automatically shall become vested in full as of your sixty-fifth (65th)
birthday.

         8. CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined
below) prior to the date on which your Continuous Service terminates, the Award
automatically shall become vested in full as of the effective date of the Change
in Control. For purposes of the Award, "Change in Control" means that one of the
following events has occurred after the Date of Grant:

            (a) A change in control of the Company required to be reported
         pursuant to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");

            (b) A change in the composition of the Company's Board of Directors
         (the "Board"), as a result of which fewer than two-thirds of the
         incumbent directors were either (A) directors of the Company
         twenty-four (24) months prior to such change or (B) elected, or
         nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at
         least a majority of the directors who were directors of the Company
         twenty-four (24) months prior to such change and who were still in
         office at the time of the election or nomination; or

            (c) Any person is or becomes the beneficial owner of securities of
         the Company representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company's
         Base Capital Stock. Notwithstanding the preceding clause:

                (i)   the beneficial ownership by a person of twenty percent
            (20%) or more, but less than a majority, of the Base Capital Stock
            shall not constitute a Change in Control if such beneficial
            ownership was acquired in the ordinary


                                       28

            course of such person's business and not with the purpose or effect
            of changing or influencing the control of the Company and if such
            person is eligible to file a short-form statement on Schedule 13G
            under Rule 13d-1 under the Exchange Act with respect to such
            beneficial ownership;

                (ii)  the beneficial ownership by a person of twenty percent
            (20%) or more of the Base Capital Stock directly as a result of a
            reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Base
            Capital Stock shall not constitute a Change in Control unless and
            until, subsequent to such reduction, such person increases in any
            manner such person's beneficial ownership of Base Capital Stock; and

                (iii) the beneficial ownership by the RCBA Group of twenty
            percent (20%) or more of the Base Capital Stock shall not constitute
            a Change in Control unless and until either (a) the RCBA Group is or
            becomes the beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the
            Base Capital Stock, excluding from the numerator for purposes of
            such calculation the RCBA Preferred Investment Shares, (b) the RCBA
            Group is or becomes the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent
            (50%) of the Base Capital Stock, including in the numerator for
            purposes of such calculation the RCBA Preferred Investment Shares,
            or (c) a third person not affiliated with the RCBA Group as of the
            date of this Agreement directly or indirectly acquires control of
            the RCBA Group.

         For purposes of this clause (c):

                      (1) "Base Capital Stock" means the combined voting power
                of the Company's then outstanding securities ordinarily (and
                apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having
                the right to vote at elections of directors;

                      (2) "Beneficial owner," "beneficial ownership" and
                "person" have the meanings as such terms are used in Sections
                13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act;

                      (3) "RCBA Group" means Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc.
                ("RCBA") and any person "affiliated" with RCBA (within the
                meaning of the Exchange Act); and

                      (4) "RCBA Preferred Investment Shares" means (i) shares of
                the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) additional shares
                of Series B Preferred Stock issued in payment of dividends on
                the Series B Preferred Stock, (iii) shares of the Company's
                Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Series B
                Preferred Stock in accordance with its terms, and (iv) shares of
                other securities of the Company issued in exchange for the
                Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with its terms.

         9. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The shares issued under your Award shall be
endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company.

         10. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. You shall exercise all rights and
privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares subject to
your Award. You shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares for purposes of
receiving any dividends which may be paid with respect to such shares and for
purposes of exercising any voting rights relating to such shares, even if some
or all of such shares have not yet vested.

         11. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or
service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to (i) alter the
terms of your Employment Agreement or (ii) create in any way whatsoever any
obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or any
affiliate thereof, or on the part of the Company or any affiliate thereof to
continue your employment or service. In addition, nothing in your Award shall
obligate the Company or any affiliate thereof, their respective stockholders,
boards of directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you
might have as a director or consultant for the Company or any affiliate thereof.

         12. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

             (a) At the time your Award is made, or at any time thereafter as
requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any
other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for
any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Company or any affiliate thereof, if any, which
arise in connection with your Award. Such withholding obligations may be
satisfied by your relinquishment of your right to receive a portion of the
shares otherwise issuable to you pursuant to the Award; provided, however, that
you shall not be authorized to relinquish your right to shares with a fair
market value in excess of the amount required to satisfy the minimum amount of
tax required to be withheld by law.

             (b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or
any affiliate thereof are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to
issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow
provided for herein.

         13. TAX CONSEQUENCES. The acquisition and vesting of the shares may
have adverse tax consequences to you that may be mitigated by filing an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code. Such election must be filed within thirty (30)
days after the date of the grant of your Award. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR
OWN RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE
SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY TO MAKE THE FILING ON YOUR
BEHALF.

         14. NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall
be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in
the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit
in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address
you provided to the Company.

Award may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.

             (b) You agree upon request to execute any further documents or
