                                  Exhibit B

                           Demand Registration Agreement

December 1, 2003


     Reference is made to that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as
of March 29, 2000 by and among Perini Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
(the "Company"), Blum Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership
("Blum"), PB Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("PB
Capital"), The Common Fund for Non-Profit Organizations, a New York non-profit
corporation ("The Common Fund" and together with Blum and PB Capital, the
"Blum Holders"), and the other parties thereto (the "Registration Rights
Agreement").  Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement.

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Blum Holders
collectively have the right to request one Demand Registration;

     WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain letter dated September 10, 2003 from
the Blum Holders to the Company, the Blum Holders have requested their one
Demand Registration (the "Current Registration");

     WHEREAS, in order to facilitate an orderly sale of Registrable Securities
by the Blum Holders pursuant to the Current Registration, the Blum Holders
have agreed to request registration of only a portion of the Registrable
Securities held by some of them and, in consideration of such agreement, the
Company has agreed to provide the Blum Holders with an additional demand
registration right on the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

     At any time during the period commencing after the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Current Registration and ending on the date on
which the Blum Holders no longer hold any Registrable Securities, the Blum
Holders may collectively request in writing that the Company file a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of
all or a portion of the Registrable Securities then held by the Blum Holders
(a "Blum Registration").  The Blum Holders are entitled to one Blum
Registration under this Agreement, and shall retain all other rights and
obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, including without
limitation, their rights under Section 2.3 of the Registration Rights
Agreement.  The parties hereto agree that their rights and obligations with
respect to the Blum Registration will consist of those set forth in (i)
Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b), 2.2(d), 2.2(e) and 2.2 (f) of the
Registration Rights Agreement, which provisions are incorporated herein by
reference (treating such Blum Registration as if it were a Demand Registration
and treating the Blum Holders as Demand Holders), (ii) the applicable
provisions of Articles IV, V, VI VII and VIII of the Registration Rights
Agreement, which provisions are incorporated herein by reference, and (iii)
the provisions (except for Sections 9.11, 9.12, 9.14  and 9.15(a)) contained
in Article IX of the Registration Rights Agreement, which provisions are
incorporated herein by reference.

     The Blum Holders acknowledge and agree that (i) any exercise of the Blum
Registration will give rise to piggyback registration rights under Section 2.3


CUSIP NO. 713-839108            SCHEDULE 13D                     Page 2 of 3


of the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) any Blum Registration to be
effected on an underwritten basis will be subject to the cutback provisions
contained in Section 3.1(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement.

     This Agreement shall not become effective and the Blum Holders shall have
no right to the Blum Registration unless and until the Registration Statement
relating to the Current Registration has become effective and the Current
Registration constitutes the Blum Holders' one Demand Registration under the
Registration Rights Agreement.  If by March 31, 2004, either (i) the
Registration Statement relating to the Current Registration has not become
effective or (ii) the Blum Holders are not deemed to have exercised their one
Demand Registration under the Registration Rights Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate without becoming effective and shall be of no force
or effect.

     No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by an
instrument in writing signed by the Company and each of the Blum Holders.  The
parties represent and warrant to each other that this Agreement constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of each party, has been appropriately authorized,
and is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

                                  END OF TEXT


     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed as of the date first set forth above.

Dear Sirs:

As an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting
Agreement, pursuant to which an offering will be made that is
intended to result in an orderly market for the common stock,
par value $1.00 (the "Common Stock") of Perini Corporation, and any
successor (by merger or otherwise) thereto, (the "Company"), the
undersigned hereby agrees that from the date hereof and until
90 days after the public offering date set forth on the final
prospectus used to sell the shares of Common Stock (the
"Public Offering Date") pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement
to which you expect to become parties, the undersigned will not
offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares
of Common Stock, enter into a transaction which would have the
same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement
that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences
of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such aforementioned
transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or
such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose
the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition,
or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement,
without, in each case, the prior written consent of Credit Suisse
First Boston LLC ("CSFB").  In addition, the undersigned agrees that,
without the prior written consent of CSFB, it will not, during the
period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the
Public Offering Date, make any demand for or exercise any right with
respect to, the registration of any Common Stock or any security
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Common Stock.

Any Common Stock received upon exercise of options granted to the
undersigned will also be subject to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the restrictions contained in the previous paragraph
shall not apply to (A) the shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold
by the undersigned pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, (B)
transactions by any person relating to shares of Common Stock or
other securities of the Company acquired in open market transactions
after the Public Offering Date; (C) transfers of shares of Common Stock


CUSIP NO. 713-839108            SCHEDULE 13D                     Page 2 of 3

or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock of the Company as a bona fide gift or gifts; (D) transfers or
distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock of the Company to affiliates
(as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (E) if the undersigned
hereto is a partnership or corporation, a distribution to the partners or
shareholders thereof, or (F) transfers by the undersigned or its
distributee or transferee of Common Stock or securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock of the Company to a family
member of the undersigned or such distributee or transferee or trust
created for the benefit of the undersigned or such distributee or
transferee or family member of the undersigned or such distributee or
transferee; provided, that in the case of any transfer or distribution
pursuant to clauses (C) through (F) above, such transferee or distributee
shall execute and deliver to CSFB an agreement to be bound by the
restrictions set forth above prior to such transfer or distribution,
as the case may be.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and
registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of
shares of Common Stock prior to the expiration or earlier termination
date of this Agreement if such transfer would constitute a violation
or breach of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors,
heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.  This
Agreement shall lapse and become null and void on the earlier of the
following two events: (i) March 31, 2004 if the Public Offering Date
shall not have occurred on or before March 31, 2004, or (ii) the date the
Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the proposed offering is
withdrawn.
