                   VARIANCES TO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         The Company represents and warrants to each holder that except as
hereinafter set forth in this Schedule 2, each of the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement is true and
correct as of the date hereof. The Section references hereinafter set forth
correspond to the similar sections of the Note Purchase Agreement which are
supplemented hereby:

         Section 5.4.      Organization and Ownership of Shares of
Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a) Schedule 5.4 to the First Amendment contains
(except as noted therein) complete and correct lists (1) of the Company's
Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the
jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of
its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Company
and each other Subsidiary, (2) of the Company's Affiliates, other than
Subsidiaries and (3) of the Company's directors and senior officers.

         (b)      All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar
equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 to the First Amendment
as being owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are
fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary
free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4 to the
First Amendment).

         (c)      Each Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 to the First
Amendment is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal
entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification
is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be
so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary
has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the
properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business
it transacts and proposes to transact.

         (d)      No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any
legal restriction or any agreement or instrument (other than this Agreement, the
agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 to the First Amendment and customary
limitations imposed by corporate law 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 disclosed in Schedule 5.8 to the First Amendment, there
are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or

                                   SCHEDULE 2
                              (to First Amendment)



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. Except as described therein,
Schedule 5.15 to the First Amendment sets forth a complete and correct list of
all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2003
(other than with respect to the Debt of Wilder and Presidio Vista which are as
of April 30, 2003), since which date there has been no Material change in the
amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of
the Debt of the Company or its Subsidiaries. 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 the First
Amendment sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Investments
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2003, since which date there

Material claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any Material 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. Except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.18 to the First Amendment:

                  (a)      neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has knowledge
         of any facts which would give rise to any Material claim, public or
         private, or Material 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;

                  (b)      neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
         (1)has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or
         formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or (2) has disposed
         of any Hazardous Materials in a manner contrary to any Environmental

                  (c)      all buildings on all real properties now owned,
         leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are in

                              ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

5.18(a)

Granite Construction in the normal course of business utilizes petroleum
(hydrocarbon) products which may be considered hazardous materials when
encountered at regulatory levels established by the Federal EPA or the Regional
State EPA. The utilization of these asphalt products, diesel, and gasoline over
the years of operations have the potential of creating exposure to environmental
clean up requirements. All underground tanks meet current requirements. There
are no pending governmental ordered clean up requirements. However, the
following represents estimates based on construction industry housekeeping
practices as encountered during our normal course of business. Except as
indicated with an " * ", these costs do not represent actual identified
exposures. Items indicated with an " * " are carried on the books as a
liability.
