			Dear Gary,
		

		
			I am pleased to acknowledge that we have reached an agreement for you to become the new Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Tutor Perini Corporation.  Your start date will be approximately September 15, 2015, subject to your confirmation after your review with Fluor.  The following should adequately summarize the financial terms of our agreement:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						1)

					
					
						 

					
					
						Your salary will be $29,166.67 semi-monthly, which is equivalent to $700,000 per year.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						2)

					
					
						 

					
					
						Your bonus opportunity will be 100% of salary based on the Company meeting its corporate targets based on earnings per share.  Your bonus will be prorated for the balance of 2015.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						3)

					
					
						 

					
					
						You will be given 15,000 shares of stock grants and 15,000 shares of stock options, again directly related to meeting earnings per share targets for each of the next three years of your employment.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						4)

					
					
						 

					
					
						You will receive a $250,000 signing bonus upon the commencement of your employment.  You also will receive a $700,000 special bonus, which will be paid to you no later than January 7, 2016.  When determining the amount of any future bonuses earned by you, the Company will take into account the payment of the special bonus and may reduce, but not below $0, the gross amount of future bonuses until the total amount of such future bonuses exceeds the gross amount of the special bonus.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						5)

					
					
						 

					
					
						You will receive a new car with a budget amount of approximately $60,000 plus the appropriate gasoline credit card and corporate credit card for entertaining, when applicable.
