RE: Acquisition by MasTec North America, Inc. of DirectStar TV, LLC
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as at any
time amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”), dated May 10,
2005, by and among MasTec North America, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MasTec NA”), MasTec,
Inc., a Florida corporation (“MasTec”), and certain subsidiaries of MasTec (together with
MasTec NA and MasTec, hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Borrowers”), the various
financial institutions named in the Loan Agreement (collectively, “Lenders”), and Bank of
America, N.A., a national banking association, in its capacity as collateral and administrative
agent for the Lenders (together with its successors in such capacity, “Agent”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to
such terms in the Loan Agreement.
MasTec NA currently owns forty-nine percent (49%) of the issued and outstanding membership
interests of DirectStar TV, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (the
“Company”). Borrowers have advised Agent and Lenders of MasTec NA’s desire to purchase the
remaining fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the
Company, all of which are currently owned by Red Ventures, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability
company (the “Seller”), pursuant to a certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the
“DirectStar Purchase Agreement”) dated February 6, 2007, by and among MasTec NA, MasTec,
the Company, the Seller, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, and Xxxx Xxxxxxx (collectively,
the “Seller Parties”) (the acquisition by MasTec NA of the membership interests of the
Company pursuant to the terms of the DirectStar Purchase Agreement is hereinafter referred to as
the “DirectStar Acquisition”).
Pursuant to Section 10.2.13 of the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers are restricted from acquiring
the stock or membership interests of any Person, except in certain limited circumstances including,
without limitation, pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition.
As a result, Borrowers have requested that Agent and Xxxxxxx (i) acknowledge that the
DirectStar Acquisition constitutes a Permitted Acquisition under the Loan Agreement, and (ii) agree
to amend the Loan Agreement in certain respects in connection therewith.
Agent and Lenders are willing to (i) acknowledge that the DirectStar Acquisition constitutes a
Permitted Acquisition under the Loan Agreement, and (ii) agree to amend the Loan Agreement in
connection therewith, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending
to be bound hereby, agree as follows:
1
1. Acknowledgment of DirectStar Acquisition as a Permitted Acquisition; Waiver.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Agreement, Agent and Lenders hereby
acknowledge that the DirectStar Acquisition constitutes a Permitted Acquisition under the Loan
Agreement effective upon (i) the satisfaction of all of the conditions thereto set forth in the
definition of “Permitted Acquisition” contained in the Loan Agreement (other than conditions, (c),
(d) and (j) thereof), and (ii) the satisfaction of each of the following conditions, in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent:
(a) the Purchase Price of such Acquisition does not exceed $100,000,000,
and the cash portion of such Purchase Price does not exceed $85,000,000;
(b) The Liquidity Amount after giving effect to the DirectStar
Acquisition is at least $25,000,000;
(c) Agent receives (i) from MasTec and MasTec NA, a collateral assignment of
all rights and sums due to MasTec and MasTec NA under the DirectStar Purchase
Agreement, and (ii) from the Seller and Seller Parties, an acknowledgment of such
collateral assignment;
(d) Agent receives from MasTec NA, the Seller and Seller Parties, a tri-party
agreement with respect to the Earn-Out Payments under (and as defined in) the
DirectStar Purchase Agreement; and
(e) Agent receives the amendment fee described in Section 5 hereof in
immediately available funds.
To the extent that any of the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents (other than this letter agreement and the terms and conditions set forth herein) would
otherwise restrict the Borrowers’ ability to enter into or consummate the DirectStar Acquisition,
Agent and Lenders hereby waive the same with respect to the DirectStar Acquisition. The foregoing
waiver shall not extend to, or be deemed a waiver with respect to, any Acquisition other than the
DirectStar Acquisition.
2. Amendments to Loan Agreement. In addition to the foregoing consents, the parties
hereto agree to amend the Loan Agreement as follows:
(a) By adding the following new definitions to Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement in
proper alphabetical sequence:

calculation thereof provided by MasTec to Agent on or prior to the closing
