	 	Re:	Consent to Precision Acquisition, Acknowledgment of Precision Convertible Notes Issuance and Amendments to Loan Agreement 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We refer
to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated July 29, 2008 (as at any time amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among MasTec, Inc., a Florida corporation
(“MasTec”), certain of the Subsidiaries of MasTec which are identified on the signature pages hereto (together with MasTec, collectively, “Borrowers”), the financial institutions party thereto from time to time (the
“Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). All capitalized terms used in this consent letter, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Loan Agreement. 
 Borrowers have advised the Agent and the Lenders that Precision Acquisition, LLC, a
Wisconsin limited liability company and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of MasTec (“Precision Holdco”), has entered into that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated November     , 2009 (the
“Purchase Agreement”), among Precision Holdco; MasTec; Precision Pipeline LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Precision Pipeline”); Precision Transport Company, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company
(“Precision Transport”); Steven R. Rooney, an individual resident of the State of Wisconsin (“Steven Rooney”); Michael Dan Murphy, an individual resident of the State of Wisconsin (“Dan Murphy”);
PPL Management, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“PPL”; Steven Rooney, Dan Murphy and PPL are collectively referred to herein as “Sellers” and individually as “Seller”), and the other parties thereto,
pursuant to which Precision Holdco has agreed to purchase from Sellers and Sellers have agreed to sell to Precision Holdco all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each of Prevision Pipeline and Precision Transport. The foregoing
transaction is hereinafter referred to as the “Precision Acquisition”. 
 Borrowers have further advised the
Agent and Lenders that, prior to or concurrently with the consummation of the Precision Acquisition, and in order to finance a portion of the Purchase Price thereof, MasTec intends to issue, either through a public offering or a private placement,
new convertible notes in the original principal amount of up to $100,000,000, but not less than $75,000,000, pursuant to a second supplemental indenture to the existing New Convertible Notes Indenture. 
 Borrowers acknowledge that pursuant to Section 10.2.13 of the Loan Agreement, Precision Holdco and MasTec may not consummate the
Precision Acquisition unless such Acquisition constitutes a Permitted Acquisition under the Loan Agreement. Borrowers have represented to the Agent and the Lenders that, with the exception of (i) the amount of the Purchase Price, and
(ii) MasTec’s request that the Debt incurred by Borrowers to finance the Precision Acquisition not be required to constitute Subordinated Debt payable to the Sellers, the Precision Acquisition will constitute a Permitted Acquisition under
the Loan Agreement. 







 Notwithstanding (i) the fact that the Purchase Price of the Precision Acquisition
exceeds the amount permitted under the Loan Agreement, and (ii) MasTec’s request that the Debt used to finance the Precision Acquisition not constitute Subordinated Debt payable to the Sellers, Borrowers and Guarantors have requested that
the Agent and the Lenders acknowledge and consent to the Precision Acquisition as a Permitted Acquisition under the Loan Agreement. 
 Borrowers acknowledge that, pursuant to Section 10.2.3 of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers may not create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any Debt, except for, among other exceptions, unsecured Debt to the extent that
(i) such Debt is not scheduled to amortize or mature prior to the last day of the Term, and (ii) the aggregate amount of such Debt, together with all other Debt of MasTec, does not exceed the maximum aggregate amount of Debt that any of
the Obligors are permitted to incur under the Indenture or the New Convertible Notes Indenture. 
 The Agent and the Lenders are
willing to acknowledge and consent to the Precision Acquisition as a Permitted Acquisition, and to acknowledge the incurrence of Debt by Borrowers under the proposed convertible notes, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein. 
 The parties also desire to amend the Loan Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 NOW, THEREFORE, for the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
 1. Acknowledgment of and Consent to Precision Acquisition as a Permitted Acquisition. At the request of Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and consent to the Precision Acquisition as a Permitted

(B) the assumption or guaranty of certain existing equipment loans of up to $20,000,000 in the aggregate, provided that any existing equipment loans assumed in excess of $20,000,000 will accordingly reduce the cash portion of the Purchase Price
on a dollar-for-dollar basis; 
 (iii) Borrowers shall have delivered to the Agent a duly executed Certificate Regarding
Permitted Acquisition, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, together with all attachments thereto and other documents referenced therein and required to be delivered in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the Purchase
