Subject to the provisions of ARTICLE 10, 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 3.1 will not result in the termination of this Agreement and will not relieve any party of any obligation under this Agreement. Upon consummation, for financial accounting purposes the Closing will be deemed and treated consummated and shall be given effect as though consummated and occurred on, as of and from 11:59 p.m. Coral Gables, Florida time on November 30, 2008 (the “Effective Closing Date”), and from the Effective Closing Date through the actual Closing, the Shares shall be deemed to have been owned by the Sellers on behalf of and for the account of the Buyer, and all benefits, burdens, obligations and expenses of the Company, including all cash flow, shall inure to the Buyer as the beneficial owner of the Shares.”

          (c) With respect to any Tax Claim, the Tax Indemnifying Party may assume and control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim and, without limiting the foregoing, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any applicable governmental Persons with respect thereto, and may, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, however, that the Tax Indemnifying Party will consult with the Tax Indemnified Party in the negotiation and settlement of any Tax Claim and the Tax Indemnifying Party will not, without the written consent of the Tax Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, settle or compromise any Tax Claim in any manner if such settlement or compromise would have the effect of increasing the Taxes of the Tax Indemnified Party (“Indemnified Party Tax Increase”); provided, that, to the extent that a Tax Claim relates to a Straddle Period, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer will jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any such Tax Claim.
          (d) The Tax Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Tax Indemnifying Party in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation will include the retention and (upon the Tax Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Tax Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to the foregoing restrictions, the Escrow Shares shall not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed until released from the Escrow Account at the end of the Escrow Period.

Reg. §1.1502-6 or similar provisions of foreign, state or local Tax law for Taxes of the any other corporation affiliated with the Company on or prior to the Closing Date and (iii) any breach or misrepresentation with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.12 of this Agreement.

To the extent the Escrow Account is insufficient to satisfy all such amounts owed, any excess shall be satisfied, at the election of the Sellers’ Representative in one or more of the following: (i) from the MasTec Shares, (ii) by reduction of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes (to the extent held by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers, or the Wanzek Foundation), or (iii) in cash (or if no election is made by the Sellers’ Representative, in one or more of the foregoing at the option of Buyer). Any amount satisfied in MasTec Shares shall be valued at the average closing price of such shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten trading days immediately prior to the delivery of such shares to the Buyer Indemnified Person. Any amount satisfied by reduction of the principal amount of either Convertible Note, shall be satisfied by a dollar for dollar reduction to the principal amount of such note.
