  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 letter agreement, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.      Borrowers have advised the Agent and the Lenders that MasTec North America, Inc., a Florida corporation ("MasTec North America"), has entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of October 4, 2008, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 2, 2008, and that certain Second Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 13, 2008 (the "Purchase Agreement"), with Wanzek Construction, Inc., a North Dakota corporation ("Wanzek"), Trust B under the Amended and Restated Living Trust of Leo Wanzek dated February 2, 2000, a North Dakota trust ("Wanzek QTIP"), Janet L.

The foregoing transaction is hereinafter referred to as the "Wanzek Acquisition".      Borrowers acknowledge that pursuant to Section 10.2.13 of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers may not consummate the Wanzek 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 the amount of the Purchase Price, the Wanzek Acquisition will constitute a Permitted Acquisition under the Loan Agreement and have requested, notwithstanding the fact that the Purchase Price of the Wanzek Acquisition exceeds the amount permitted under the Loan Agreement, that the Agent and the Lenders acknowledge and consent to the Wanzek Acquisition as a Permitted Acquisition under the Loan Agreement.      The Agent and the Lenders are willing to acknowledge and consent to the Wanzek Acquisition as a Permitted Acquisition, 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:
