SUPPLEMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS

For purposes of Section 2.1(i) of the Second Amendment, the following representations and warranties supersede the representations and warranties contained in the Note Purchase Agreement with the corresponding section references.
The Company represents and warrants to each Noteholder that:
Section 5.4    Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries.
(d)    No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 10.6 to the Second Amendment and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that own outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.
Section 5.8    Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.
(a)    Except as set forth on Schedule 5.8 to these Supplemental Representations, there are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.15    Existing Debt.
(a)    Schedule 10.4 to the Second Amendment sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Second Amendment Effective Date (including a description of the obligors and obligees, principal amount outstanding and collateral therefor, if any, and Guaranty thereof, if any).  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. 
Section 5.16    Existing Investments.  Schedule 5.16 to these Supplemental Resolutions sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Investments of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Second Amendment Effective Date.
Section 5.18    Environmental Matters.
(a)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any claim or has received any notice of any claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets, alleging any damage to the environment or violation of any Environmental Laws, in each case, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any facts which would give rise to any claim, public or private, or violation of Environmental Laws or damage to the environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or to other assets or their use, in each case, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (1) has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws, or (2) has disposed of any Hazardous Materials in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws; in each case in any manner that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) All buildings on all real properties now owned, leased or operated by the Company or any Subsidiary are in material compliance with applicable Environmental Laws except to the extent that failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SCHEDULE 5.8 TO SUPPLEMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS

EXISTING LITIGATION

Grand Avenue Project DBE Issues: On March 6, 2009, the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) served upon our wholly-owned subsidiary, Granite Construction Northeast, Inc. (“Granite Northeast”), a United States District Court Eastern District of New York subpoena to testify before a grand jury by producing documents. The subpoena seeks all documents pertaining to the use of a DBE firm (the “Subcontractor”), and the Subcontractor's use of a non-DBE lower tier subcontractor/consultant, on the Grand Avenue Bus Depot and Central Maintenance Facility for the Borough of Queens Project, a Granite Northeast project.  The subpoena also seeks any documents regarding the use of the Subcontractor as a DBE on any other projects and any other documents related to the Subcontractor or to the lower-tier subcontractor/consultant.  We have received two follow-up requests from the USDOJ for additional information and documents.  We have complied with the subpoena and the requests, and are fully cooperating with the OIG's investigation. To date, Granite Northeast has not been notified that it is either a subject or target of the OIG's investigation. Accordingly, we do not know whether any criminal charges or civil lawsuits will be brought against any party as a result of the investigation. We cannot, however, rule out the possibility of civil or criminal actions or administrative sanctions being brought against Granite Northeast.

1.7    Sections 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be and are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

Section 10.2.    Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.

Section 10.3.    Leverage Ratio; Project Debt and Interest Coverage Ratio.

(a)    Consolidated Leverage Ratio.  The Company will not, at any time, permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to exceed:

4

	
		
	Period
	Ratio

	For the period beginning on the First Amendment Effective Date through and including September 30, 2013
	3.50 to 1.00

	For the period from and after October 1, 2013
	3.25 to 1.00

; provided that during any Collateral Release Period, the Company will not, at any time, permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to exceed 2.50 to 1.00.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the “Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio” permitted by the Bank Credit Agreement for any period is increased or decreased, then, upon receipt of evidence thereof satisfactory to the Required Holders and, in the case of any such increase, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (1) the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio permitted by this Agreement for such period shall be deemed to be increased or decreased by the same incremental amount as the increase or decrease in the “Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio” permitted by the Bank Credit Facility for such period and (2) any changes to the defined terms used in the calculation of the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” under the Bank Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been made to the defined terms used in the calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio permitted by this Agreement for any period ever exceed the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (utilizing all relevant definitions appearing herein as of the First Amendment Effective Date) for such period as set forth in this Agreement as of the First Amendment Effective Date.  The Company will promptly, and in any event within five days of the occurrence thereof, give each of the holders of the Notes notice of any increase or decrease in the “Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio” permitted by the Bank Credit Agreement for any period.  If any party to the Bank Credit Agreement shall receive or become entitled to any fee or other consideration in connection with its agreement to increase or decrease the “Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio” permitted by the Bank Credit Agreement for any period, the holders of the Notes shall receive fees or other consideration in a proportionate amount based upon the relative outstanding principal amount of the Notes and of the Debt outstanding under such Bank Credit Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time there shall be no Bank Credit Agreement in existence, the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (utilizing all relevant definitions appearing herein as of the First Amendment Effective Date) permitted by this Agreement for any period shall be that set forth herein as of the First Amendment Effective Date for such period.

(b)    Limitation on Project Debt.  The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Project Debt other than (1) Project Debt outstanding on the First Amendment Effective Date as set forth on Schedule 5 and (2) in addition thereto, an additional amount of Project Debt not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time outstanding.

(c)    Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio.  The Company will not, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, permit the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio to be less than 4.00 to 1.00.

Section 10.4    Priority Debt.  The Company will not (a) at any time other than during a Collateral Release Period, permit the aggregate amount of all Priority Debt to exceed $15,000,000 and (b) at any time during a Collateral Release Period, permit the aggregate amount of all Priority Debt to exceed an amount equal to 20% of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth determined as of the end of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company.

1.8.    Section 10.5 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be and is hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 10.5    Liens.  The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or permit to exist (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any Lien on or with respect to any property or asset (including, without limitation, any document or instrument in respect

SUPPLEMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS

For purposes of Section 2.1(i) of the First Amendment, the following representations and warranties supersede the representations and warranties contained in the Note Purchase Agreement with the corresponding section references.
The Company represents and warrants to each Noteholder that:
Section 5.4    Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries.
(d)    No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 10.6 to the First Amendment and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that own outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.
Section 5.8    Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.
(a)    Except as set forth on Schedule 5.8 to these Supplemental Representations, there are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.15    Existing Debt.
(a)    Schedule 10.4 to the First Amendment sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the First Amendment Effective Date (including a description of the obligors and obligees, principal amount outstanding and collateral therefor, if any, and Guaranty thereof, if any).  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. 
Section 5.16    Existing Investments.  Schedule 5.16 to these Supplemental Resolutions sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Investments of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the First Amendment Effective Date.
Section 5.19    Environmental Matters.
(a)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any claim or has received any notice of any claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets, alleging any damage to the environment or violation of any Environmental Laws, in each case, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any facts which would give rise to any claim, public or private, or violation of Environmental Laws or damage to the environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or to other assets or their use, in each case, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (1) has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws, or (2) has disposed of any Hazardous Materials in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws; in each case in any manner that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) All buildings on all real properties now owned, leased or operated by the Company or any Subsidiary are in material compliance with applicable Environmental Laws except to the extent that failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SCHEDULE 5.8 TO SUPPLEMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS

EXISTING LITIGATION

Grand Avenue Project DBE Issues: On March 6, 2009, the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) served upon our wholly-owned subsidiary, Granite Construction Northeast, Inc. (“Granite Northeast”), a United States District Court Eastern District of New York subpoena to testify before a grand jury by producing documents. The subpoena seeks all documents pertaining to the use of a DBE firm (the “Subcontractor”), and the Subcontractor's use of a non-DBE lower tier subcontractor/consultant, on the Grand Avenue Bus Depot and Central Maintenance Facility for the Borough of Queens Project, a Granite Northeast project.  The subpoena also seeks any documents regarding the use of the Subcontractor as a DBE on any other projects and any other documents related to the Subcontractor or to the lower-tier subcontractor/consultant.  We have received two follow-up requests from the USDOJ for additional information and documents.  We have complied with the subpoena and the requests, and are fully cooperating with the OIG’s investigation. To date, Granite Northeast has not been notified that it is either a subject or target of the OIG’s investigation. Accordingly, we do not know whether any criminal charges or civil lawsuits will be brought against any party as a result of the investigation. We cannot, however, rule out the possibility of civil or criminal actions or administrative sanctions being brought against Granite Northeast.
