The purchase price for the Assets will be $26,000,000 plus the Earn-Out to be paid post-Closing (such sum, as so adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Purchase Price”). On the Closing Date, Buyer shall make payment on account of the Purchase Price as follows:

          (a) $18,500,000 by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller as set forth on Schedule 1.4(a); and

          (b) the issuance to Seller of that number of shares of common stock, $0.10 par value, of MasTec (the “MasTec Shares”), a Florida corporation, as shall equal $7,500,000 divided by the per share closing sales price on the New York Stock Exchange of the MasTec Shares two Business Days preceding the Closing Date rounded up to the nearest whole number.

The MasTec Shares will be unregistered with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Closing, however, MasTec will use its best efforts to register for resale the MasTec Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the MasTec Shares are not registered within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, then Seller’s

sole remedy for such failure shall be to receive, within two (2) Business Days of the return to MasTec of the MasTec Shares free and clear of any liens, a cash payment equal to the product of the Average MasTec Share Price multiplied by the number of MasTec Shares transferred to Seller on the Closing Date.

     1.5 Earn-Out.

          (a) As additional consideration for the Contemplated Transactions, the Buyer shall pay Seller the contingent price payments set forth in this Section 1.5 (the “Earn-Out”). The amount of the Earn-Out will equal 5% of EBIT for the Business solely with respect to the Existing DMAs for the years ending December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010; provided that the Earn-Out for 2006 shall begin to accrue on the day after the Closing Date. Buyer shall pay Seller the Earn-Out payments annually within 10 days of MasTec filing its 10-K for the respective fiscal year by wire transfer of next day funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller. For purposes of this Agreement, “EBIT” means the Net Income of the Business solely with respect to the Existing DMAs for the respective twelve-month period in the applicable fiscal year, plus (a) income Taxes deducted in determining Net Income, and (b) any interest on indebtedness incurred to finance the acquisition of the Assets contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any original issue discount). For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Income” means, for any of the foregoing periods, the net income (or loss) of the Business solely with respect to the Existing DMAs, determined in accordance with GAAP consistent with MasTec’s other Advanced Tech Service Group divisions and as set forth in Schedule 1.5; provided however, that Net Income shall not be adjusted for any intra-company transfers to or from the Business with respect to MasTec or its Affiliates unless those transfers relate to a business transaction between the Business and MasTec or its Affiliates that would have occurred in the ordinary course of conducting business had Buyer not acquired the Assets. For purposes of clarification, Net Income shall only be derived from the operation of the Business in the Existing DMAs and only to the extent the Business is being conducted in such Existing DMAs during the applicable period, from the services the Business is offering in the Existing DMAs, and from customers (i.e., DirecTV) that the Business is generating orders from as of the date of this Agreement. Any revenue and expenses resulting from new customers, new DMAs or new services shall not be included in the definition of Net Income; however, MasTec shall pay Mr. Phillips a bonus if earned pursuant to the terms of the Executive Employment Agreement from the successful oversight of such new customers, DMAs or services as any such incremental oversight responsibilities may be assigned by MasTec in its reasonable discretion.

          (b) If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of an Earn-Out payment by Buyer to Seller, Seller has not given Buyer written notice of its objection as to the Earn-Out payment amount (which notice shall state in reasonable detail the basis of Seller’s objection), then the Earn-Out payment amount calculated by Buyer shall be binding and conclusive on the parties. If Seller duly gives Buyer such notice of objection, and if Seller and Buyer fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the calculation of the Earn-Out payment within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s objection notice, Seller and Buyer shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to a mutually agreed upon, independent public accountant firm (the “Independent Accountants”) for resolution applying the principles, policies and practices referred to in this Section 1.5(b). If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (i) Seller and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent

Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; and (ii) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Seller and Buyer within sixty (60) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall be used in the calculation of the Earn-Out payment. The costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants in a dispute regarding any Earn-Out payment shall be paid by Seller if (A) the difference between (i) the Earn-Out payment resulting from determination of the Independent Accountants, and (ii) the Earn-Out payment set forth in Seller’s notice of objection, is greater than (B) the difference between (i) the Earn-Out payment resulting from determination of the Independent Accountants, and (ii) Buyer’s calculation of the Earn-Out payment as delivered to Seller; otherwise, such costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants will be paid by Buyer. The Independent Accountants will be entitled to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators.

     1.6 Closing. The purchase and sale of the Assets provided for in this Agreement (the “Closing”) will be effective as of 12:01 a.m. EST on the day after the Closing Date and shall take place at the offices of Buyer’s counsel at Greenberg Traurig, P.A., 1221 Brickell Avenue, Miami, Florida 33131, commencing at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on or before January 31, 2006, or such other time, date or place, as Seller and Buyer may agree to in writing. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, failure to consummate the purchase and sale provided for in this Agreement on the date and time and at the place determined pursuant to this Section 1.6 will not result in the termination of this Agreement and will not relieve any party of any obligation under this Agreement. In such a situation, the Closing will occur as soon as practicable, subject to Section 8.

The cash available to Seller, the Shareholders and any of their respective Affiliates who own Assets after taking into account all other anticipated uses of the cash, will be sufficient to pay all such debts and judgments promptly in accordance with their terms.

     4.9 Environmental Review.

          (a) The Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, may undertake “Phase I” environmental site assessments (the “Phase I ESA(s)”) of any Asset that is real property. Each Phase I ESA that Buyer elects to undertake shall be conducted by a reputable environmental consultant with appropriate licenses, certificates, experience and training selected by the Buyer (the “Environmental Consultant”). The Environmental Consultant shall conduct the Phase I ESAs in accordance with the ASTM E1527-00 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (as such practice may have been updated or revised as of the date hereof, the “ASTM Phase I ESA Standard”) and may include such non-scope considerations reasonably specified by he Buyer. The Phase I ESAs, however, shall not include testing of any environmental medium, or any materials, of any structure on any real property without the express written approval of Seller, the Shareholders or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if the Environmental Consultant determines in its professional opinion that such testing is advisable and appropriate and Seller, any Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, fails to grant such written approval within five (5) Business Days, then the Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of such determination by the Environmental Consultant by delivering written notice to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any such testing of any environmental medium, or materials, of any structure on any real property during any Phase I ESA shall not unreasonably interfere with the ability of Seller, the Shareholder or any of their Affiliates to conduct its business or result in any material damage to any such structure.

          (b) Should any Phase I ESA reveal a “recognized environmental condition,” as defined in the ASTM Phase I ESA Standard, for which the Environmental Consultant recommends a Phase II ESA (as defined below), then Buyer may cause the Environmental Consultant to undertake a reasonable and appropriate subsurface investigation of any such recognized environmental condition at any such real property in a “Phase II” environmental site assessment (the “Phase II ESA(s)”) in accordance with ASTM E1903-97 (2002) (as such practice may have been updated or revised as of the date hereof, the “ASTM Phase II ESA Standard”). The Environmental Consultant shall prepare a separate scope of work and cost estimate for each Phase II ESA of each real property that Buyer reasonably deems necessary and that is consistent with the agreement of the Buyer and Seller regarding the extent and parameters of the subsurface investigation. The performance of such Phase II ESAs shall not unreasonably interfere with the ability of Seller, any Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to conduct its business. Only the Phase II ESA(s) contemplated under, and authorized

in accordance with the terms of, this Section 4.9(b) shall be permissible under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 4.9(b) shall be construed as requiring Buyer to conduct any Phase II ESAs prior to Buyer’s exercise of its termination rights under this Section 4.9.

          (c) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller prior to the Closing Date if there is a Material Environmental Effect. “Material Environmental Effect” means the existence of any “recognized environmental condition” (as defined in the ASTM Phase I ESA Standard) at any Asset that is real property or the failure of any Asset that is real property to comply with applicable Environmental Laws that, in the Environmental Consultant’s professional opinion, would reasonably be expected to result in an aggregate cost in excess of $150,000 to Buyer to remediate the “recognized environmental condition” or comply with such applicable Environmental Laws, including the payment of any fines and penalties. Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of Material Environmental Effect, the Environmental Consultant may also include in its estimate of aggregate cost for purposes of determining a Material Environmental Effect the cost of removal of any existing asbestos containing materials in any structure on any Asset that is real property provided, however, that such removal is required under applicable Environmental Laws, including any Environmental Laws requiring asbestos removal in connection with planned demolition, renovation, construction or repair activities. In the event of a Material Environmental Effect, the parties hereto shall promptly and diligently negotiate in good faith a mutually agreeable solution with respect to the Material Environmental Effect until the earlier of the following events to occur:

(i) the parties enter into a mutual written agreement related thereto;

(ii) the Closing; or

(iii) Buyer terminates this Agreement in connection with a Material Environmental Effect or in accordance with Section 4.9(a).

     Buyer will engage an inventory audit firm to count all Inventory Physically Present in Seller’s Facilities as of Closing. Buyer will be responsible for the costs of this physical inventory audit and Seller agrees to allow access to and cooperate with Buyer and the firm to allow the audit to be completed prior to Closing. Seller agrees that the invoiced amount from DirecTV for new Major Inventory received by Seller within 30 days of Closing and Physically Present in Seller’s Facilities at Closing will be at least $2.5 million. Seller will communicate on a regular basis to Buyer its Inventory ordering process from the date hereof to the Closing.

     4.12 Environmental Remediation.

     9.4 Time Limitations. A claim with respect to Sections 2.7, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.23, 2.25, and 2.30 may be made at any time before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation (as they might be extended with by the agreement of the Seller and Buyer). A claim with respect to Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.8, 2.11, 2.26. 2.27, or 2.28, or a claim for indemnification or reimbursement not based upon any representation or warranty or any covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, may be made at any time. Except as set forth in the two preceding sentences, if the Closing occurs, Seller and the Shareholders will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any other representation or warranty, or covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, unless on or before the five year anniversary of the date hereof Buyer notifies Seller of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer. If the Closing occurs, Buyer or MasTec will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation or warranty, or covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, unless on or before the five year anniversary of the date hereof Seller notifies Buyer of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller.

     9.5 Limitations.

          (a) If the Closing occurs, Seller and Shareholders will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 9.2 unless the total of all Damages with respect to such matters is at least $100,000, it being understood that such $100,000 amount is to serve as a “deductible” (for example, if the indemnity claims for which Seller would, but for the provisions of this paragraph (a), be liable equal $120,000, Seller would then be liable for just $20,000). However, this Section 9.5(a) will

not apply to any Breach of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.7, 2.8, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.16, 2.26 or 2.32 or of which Seller, any Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates had Knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional Breach by Seller or any Shareholder of any covenant or obligation.

          (b) If the Closing occurs, Buyer will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clause (a) of Section 9.3 unless the total of all Damages with respect to such matters is at least $100,000, it being understood that such $100,000 amount is to serve as a “deductible” (for example, if the indemnity claims for which the Buyer would, but for the provisions of this paragraph (b), be liable equal $120,000, the Buyer and MasTec would then be liable for just $20,000). However, this Section 9.5(b) will not apply to any Breach of any of Buyer’s or MasTec’s representations and warranties of which Buyer or MasTec had Knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional Breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation, and Buyer and MasTec will be liable for all Damages with respect to such Breaches.

          (c) If the Closing occurs, the total Liability of Seller and the Shareholders with respect to claims under Section 9.2(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap Limitation”). However, this Section 9.5(c) will not apply to any Breach of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.7, 2.8, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.16, 2.26 and 2.32 or of which Seller, any Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates had Knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional Breach by Seller or any Shareholder of any covenant or obligation.

          (d) The amount of any Damages shall be reduced or reimbursed, as the case may be, by any amount received by the Indemnified Person with respect thereto under any insurance coverage or for any other party alleged to be responsible therefor. If an indemnified person receives an amount under insurance coverage with respect to Damages at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided by an indemnifying party, then such indemnified person shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by the indemnified person.

          (e) Any indemnification payments required to be made hereunder with respect to any matter shall be reduced by the amount of any economic benefits (including, income tax benefits) that are readily quantifiable and can be demonstrated to have been received by the Indemnified Person as a result of the same matter.

     9.6 Set-off. Upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis for any Damages Buyer or MasTec may have pursuant to this Section 9, Buyer or MasTec may only set-off such Damages against any Earn-Out payments and Excluded Assets. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to give notice of a claim with respect to Damages satisfied by set-off in accordance with this Section 9.6 will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer or MasTec in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it. If Seller disagrees that any such Damages are owed to Buyer or MasTec, Seller shall be entitled to, upon

notice to Buyer or MasTec, as applicable, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for any such disagreement, an expedited resolution of such dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.6(b) (with “MasTec” being substituted for “Buyer” if Seller’s notice is addressed to MasTec).

     9.7 Procedure For Indemnification — Third Party Claims.

          (a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Sections 9.2, or 9.3 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such notice.

          (b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 9.7(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith based upon a written and reasonable opinion of legal counsel that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 9 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the indemnifying party may participate in its own defense with respect to any Proceeding even though the indemnified party is permitted to defend itself under this section. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person which would adversely affect the operation of the Business, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten Business Days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound to the indemnified party by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party. If any indemnified party or indemnifying party disagrees with the manner in which the other is applying this Section 9.7(b), such party shall be entitled to, upon notice to the other, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for any such

disagreement, an expedited resolution of such dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.6(b).

          (c) The indemnifying party hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any indemnified person for purposes of any claim that an indemnified person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on the indemnifying person with respect to such a claim.

     9.8 Procedure For Indemnification — Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

     9.9 Payment of Indemnification Obligations. Except as set forth in Section 9.6, all indemnification amounts payable to any party hereto in connection with a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 shall be effected immediately upon determination of the amount of the indemnification liability by payment of cash or delivery of a cashier’s check in the amount of the indemnification liability.

     9.10 No Circular Recovery. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that it will not make any claim for indemnification against the Buyer or the Business by reason of the fact that such Shareholder was a controlling person, director, employee or Representative of the Seller or the Business or was serving as such for another Person at the request of the Buyer, the Seller or the Business (whether such claim is for Losses of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, organizational document, contractual obligation or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnified Person against the Seller or any Shareholder relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions. With respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnified Person against the Seller or any Shareholder relating to this Agreement and any of the Contemplated Transactions, the Seller and each Shareholder expressly waives any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against the Buyer or the Business with respect to any amounts owed by such Seller or Shareholder pursuant to this Section 9.

This Section 10.1 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 10.1(d) is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Business and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Shareholder.

     10.2 Customer and Other Business Relationships.

          (a) After the Closing, Seller, the Shareholders and their respective Affiliates will cooperate with Buyer in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those business relationships of Seller, any Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates existing prior to the Closing and relating to the Business, including relationships with lessors, employees, regulatory authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others, and Seller will satisfy the Retained Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. Seller, each Shareholder and their respective Affiliates will refer to Buyer all inquiries relating to the Business and will on or prior to the Closing instruct each customer to make all future payments to Buyer.

Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 10.3 by a party or its representatives and that any such breach would cause the disclosing party and its representatives irreparable harm. Accordingly, each party to this Agreement also agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching party and its representatives shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance.

     10.6 Payment of Other Retained Liabilities; Arbitration.

          (a) Seller shall pay, or make adequate provision for the payment, in full of all of the Retained Liabilities and other Liabilities of Seller under this Agreement.

If the Arbitrator determines that the Seller is not responsible for any payments asserted in Buyer’s notice or Damages objected to in Seller’s notice, as applicable, then the Buyer shall pay all costs and expenses of the Arbitrator.

The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of a Breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching party would be irreparably damaged and could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which the non-breaching party may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.
