Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On June 28, 2005, URS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a $650 million Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Credit Suisse, New York Branch (“CSFB”), as a co-lead arranger and administrative agent for a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (together with CSFB, the “Lenders”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“WFB”), as a co-lead arranger and syndicate agent for the Lenders.

     The Credit Agreement provides for a six-year senior term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million (the “Term Facility”) and a five-year senior revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Senior Facilities”), of which up to $200 million will be available in the form of letters of credit. Company borrowings under the Senior Facilities will bear interest at either a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus, in each case, an interest margin that varies with the Company’s senior implied credit rating, corporate credit rating or equivalent rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) (the “Credit Rating”).

     All obligations of the Company under the Senior Facilities will be unconditionally guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantees”). So long as the Company’s Credit Rating is Ba1 from Moody’s and BB+ from S&P, the Senior Facilities and the Guarantees will be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the capital stock of certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Security Interest”). The Security Interest will terminate if the Company attains an investment grade credit rating from Moody’s (Baa3) and S&P (BBB-). If the Company’s Credit Rating is Ba2 or lower from Moody’s or BB or lower from S&P, the Senior Facilities and the Guarantees will be secured by the capital stock and assets of certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company.

     The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and other restrictions. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default including the following: nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect; cross default and cross acceleration; bankruptcy; material judgments; ERISA events; actual or asserted invalidity of guarantees or security documents; and change of control. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 4.1 below.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On June 28, 2005, the Company terminated the Credit Agreement executed as of August 22, 2002, as amended, by and among the Company, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, as co-lead arranger and administrative agent, WFB, as a co-lead arranger and syndicate agent, and the lenders named therein.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
