Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MasTec (“MasTec North America”), as buyer,
Wanzek Construction, Inc., a North Dakota corporation (“Wanzek”) and the shareholders of Wanzek
(the “Sellers”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated
as of October 4, 2008 between the parties pursuant to which MasTec North America has agreed to
purchase (the “Acquisition”) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wanzek’s capital stock
(the “Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the parties have agreed to a modification
of the purchase price for the Acquisition. Previously, MasTec North America agreed to acquire the
Shares for $200 million in cash and the assumption of $15 million in debt. Under the terms of the
Amendment, MasTec North America will now pay: (i) $50 million in cash, (ii) 7.5 million shares of
MasTec common stock, (iii) an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $55 million due
December 2013 with interest payments payable in April, August, and December of each year,
commencing in April 2009 (the “Convertible Note”), (iv) the assumption of up to $15 million of
Wanzek’s debt and (v) a two-year earn-out equal to 50% of Wanzek’s EBITDA over $40 million per
year. The Convertible Note is convertible, at the holder’s election, at a $12 conversion price.
Additionally, MasTec can redeem the note by payment of the principal balance, plus accrued but
unpaid interest, subject to the holder’s conversion right, after one year if the average of the
closing prices of MasTec’s common stock during any thirty day period is at or above $16. In
addition, pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, MasTec has agreed to enter into a registration
rights agreement with the Sellers at the closing and has agreed to a modification to the terms of
the escrow which will now be comprised of MasTec common stock valued at 10% of the purchase price.

negative (i.e. less than zero), for purposes of determining the 2010 Earn-Out
Payment, the Company’s 2010 EBITDA shall be reduced by the amount by which the
Company’s 2009 EBITDA was less than zero.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.9, “EBITDA” means for calendar year 2009 or
calendar year 2010 the sum of (A) the net income or loss generated by the Company’s
operations as they exist on the Effective Date and as they may grow or contract
after the Effective Date in the normal course of business through internal growth
and not through acquisitions or other extraordinary or non-recurring transactions
(the “Existing Operations”), after deduction of all costs, expenses, interest,
taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other proper charges (including without
limitation (i) the cost of any bonuses or incentive payments earned with respect to
the applicable period (excluding any Earn-Out Payment), (ii) the cost of any equity
granted to employees (other than equity granted to the employees pursuant to the
employment agreements to be entered into pursuant to Section 8.9 hereof), or other
derivative securities granted during the applicable period, valued in accordance
with the Black-Scholl model and amortized over the vesting period of any equity
granted, (iii) the cost of capitalized leases, amortized over the lease term,
calculated in accordance with GAAP and (iv) all interest and amortization with
respect to the Company’s Indebtedness) plus (B) (i) total interest expense with
respect to all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company, but only to the extent that
such interest was deducted in determining the Company’s net income or loss, (ii)
federal, state, or local income taxes and state franchise taxes to the extent
calculated based upon net income and not revenue, in each case of income and
franchise taxes attributable to the Existing Operations for such period and
determined in accordance with GAAP, but only to the extent that such taxes were
deducted in determining the Company’s net income or loss, (iii) all depreciation
with respect to the Company’s assets, but only to the extent that such depreciation
was deducted in determining the Company’s net income or loss, (iv) all amortization,
but only to the extent that such amortization was deducted in determining the
Company’s net income or loss, and (v) any retention bonus
5
payments paid to employees of the Company pursuant to those retention bonus
agreements set forth in Section 4.14(i) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule to the
extent that such bonuses were deducted in determining the Company’s net income or
loss; provided that no deduction shall be made for overhead expenses of Buyer or its
Affiliates other than for services and other expenses provided by Buyer and its
Affiliates to the Existing Operations such as group insurance policies which cover
the Existing Operations, legal, human resources, accounting or other services
provided to the Existing Operations.
(c) Except if there is a disagreement as described in subsection (e), Buyer
will pay to Sellers the Earn-Out Payments with respect to 2009 and 2010, if any
Earn-Out Payments are owed, no later than April 15th of the next
succeeding year in cash in immediately available funds.
(d) Sellers will be entitled to the Earn-Out Payments, if earned, whether or
not the Sellers’ Representative remains employed by Buyer or the Company; provided
that nothing in this Section 2.9 constitutes an agreement or understanding to employ
the Sellers’ Representative for a term of years or otherwise to guarantee the
Sellers’ Representative employment with Buyer or the Company.
(e) On or prior to March 15th of 2010 and 2011, Buyer will calculate
the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for the prior calendar year and provide the Sellers’
Representative with Buyer’s calculation of the Earn-Out Payment together with
reasonable supporting documentation. For thirty (30) days following the delivery of
the Earn-Out Payment calculation to the Sellers’ Representative (the “Earn-Out
Review Period”), the Sellers’ Representative may review the Earn-Out Payment
calculation and other documentation. The Sellers’ Representative must notify Buyer,
in writing, of any disagreement with the Earn-Out Payment calculation or
documentation and the basis for the disagreement no later than the end of the
Earn-Out Review Period. If Sellers’ Representative does not notify Buyer of a
disagreement by the end of the Earn-Out Review Period, the Earn-Out Payment
calculation prepared by Buyer will be conclusive. If the Sellers’ Representative
timely notifies Buyer of a disagreement regarding the Earn-Out calculation and the
parties are unable, through good faith negotiation, to resolve the disagreement
within thirty (30) days after the end of the Earn-Out Review Period, Buyer and the
Sellers’ Representative shall submit the items in dispute to the Neutral Accountant
(which shall act as experts and not as arbitrators) for resolution. Buyer and the
Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Neutral Accountant to deliver its written
determination to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative no later than 30 days after
the dispute is referred to the Neutral Accountant. The Neutral Accountant’s
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and the Sellers’
Representative. In resolving any disputed item, the CPA Firm may not assign a value
to the disputed item that is greater than the greatest value claimed by either party
or less than the smallest value claimed by either party for the item. The fees and
disbursements of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne (i) by the Sellers’
Representative in the proportion that
6
the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that are unsuccessfully
disputed by the Sellers’ Representative (as finally determined by the Neutral
Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items and (ii) by
Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that
are successfully disputed by the Sellers’ Representative (as finally determined by
the Neutral Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items.
For example, if the parties dispute $1,000,000 of an Earn-Out Payment, the Neutral
Accountant determines that $400,000 should be included in the Earn-Out Payment and
$600,000 should be excluded and the Neutral Accountant’s fees are $50,000, then (i)
the Sellers’ Representative shall pay $30,000 (60%) of such fees and (ii) Buyer
shall pay $20,000 (40%) of such fees. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall
make readily available to the Neutral Accountant all relevant books and records and
any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective accountants, to the
extent permitted by such accountants) relating to the determination of the Earn-Out
Payment and all other items reasonably requested by the Neutral Accountant in
connection therewith.
(f) Following the Closing Date, Buyer will continue to operate the Company
during the period for which the Sellers are entitled to Earn-Out Payments
substantially as previously operated, subject to the business requirements of Buyer
and its Affiliates taken as a whole. Buyer will be permitted, following the Closing
Date, to make changes in its sole discretion to the operations, corporate
organization, personnel, accounting practices, and other aspects of the Company and
the Business so long as such changes are made in good faith, in the best interests
of the Company, Buyer, and their respective Affiliates or to conform to standard
practices applicable generally to Guarantor and its Affiliates, and not with the
specific intent of reducing amounts that otherwise would be payable to Sellers.
(g) No Earn-Out Payments will accrue or be payable for any time period
commencing on the earliest date that the Sellers’ Representative violates any of the
provisions of Sections 7.1 or 7.2.”
9. Section 3.1 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“3.1. Closing. The purchase and sale (the “Closing”) provided for in this
Agreement will take place at 9:00 a.m. local time at Buyer’s offices at 800 S.

the ninetieth day after the date hereof (the “Ninetieth Day”) or (ii) a

at such other time as the Parties may agree in writing. For purposes of clarity, if
the Satisfaction Date has occurred at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
Ninetieth Day and the Buyer has not set a prior date for Closing pursuant to clause
(ii) set forth in the previous sentence, then all of the parties shall be obligated
to Close on the Ninetieth Day and any party which has not carried out its
obligations on such date shall be in breach of this Agreement. By agreement of the
parties the Closing may take place by delivery of this Agreement and the other
documents to be delivered at the Closing by facsimile or other electronic
transmission. 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.”

(a) Each Seller acknowledges that the MasTec Shares, the Convertible Note, any
shares of Guarantor common stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note and
any other shares of Guarantor’s common stock that may be acquired by Sellers
pursuant to this Agreement (the “Acquired Securities”) are restricted shares that
are not registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws
and are being issued by the Guarantor to the Sellers in reliance upon the Section
4(2) private placement exemption contained in the Securities Act.
(b) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Acquired Securities are being
acquired for such Seller’s own account and not with a view to, or intention of,
distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state
securities laws, and the Acquired Securities will not be disposed of by Sellers in
contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.
(c) Each Seller is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act, and is, or in the case of any Seller which is a trust, is directed
by a person who is, sophisticated in financial matters and has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that he or she is able to evaluate the
risks and benefits of the investment in the Acquired Securities and make an informed
investment decision.
(d) Each Seller has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
concerning Buyer, Guarantor and the Acquired Securities and has had full access to
such other information concerning Buyer, Guarantor and the Acquired Securities as
such Seller has requested or which has been filed by Guarantor with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
(e) Each Seller has discussed with and relied upon the advice of its
independent legal counsel, tax and financial advisors with regard to the meaning and
legal consequences of such Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this
Section 4.33 and the considerations involved in making an investment in the Acquired
Securities, and such Seller understands that Buyer and Guarantor are relying on the
information set forth herein.
9
(f) Each Seller understands that he she or it must bear the economic risk of
his, her or its acquisition of the Acquired Securities for an indefinite period of
time because (i) the acquisition of Acquired Securities pursuant to this Agreement
has not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws; and (ii) the Acquired Securities may therefore not be sold, transferred,
pledged, or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently so registered or, in the
opinion (reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Guarantor) of counsel (reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer and Guarantor) registration under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws is not required.
(g) Each Seller understands that the Acquired Securities will bear a
restrictive legend prohibiting the transfer thereof except in compliance with the
applicable state and federal securities laws, this Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement, if applicable, and may not be transferred of record except in compliance
therewith.

Shares, the Convertible Note and any other shares of Guarantor common stock issued
upon conversion of the Convertible Note may bear one or all of the following

For Immediate Release
MasTec Announces Revised Terms for Wanzek Construction
Inc. Acquisition and Reaffirms 2008 and 2009 Guidance
Inc. Acquisition and Reaffirms 2008 and 2009 Guidance
Coral Gables, FL (December 3, 2008) — MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced that it has revised
the terms of its proposed acquisition of Wanzek Construction, Inc. Under the revised terms, MasTec
will pay $50 million in cash, 7.5 million shares of MasTec common stock, $55 million in the form of
a convertible note and assume $15 million of Wanzek’s debt and pay a two year earnout equal to 50%
of Wanzek’s EBITDA in excess of $40 million per year. The convertible note matures in December
2013, has an annual coupon rate of 8% and converts into MasTec stock at a $12 conversion price. The
stock initially issued to the seller in the transaction will be subject to a six month no sale
lock-up provision. Under the original terms, MasTec had agreed to pay $200 million in cash and
would have assumed $15 million of Wanzek’s debt. The revised transaction is expected to close
before year end.
Wanzek has experienced significant growth over the past several years, and had revenue of $192
million in 2007 and trailing twelve month revenue, as of September 30, 2008, of $387 million.
Wanzek anticipates 2008 annual revenue of approximately $400 million, up from the previous
estimates of $340 million. Wanzek’s EBITDA for 2008 is now expected to be approximately $45
million, up from our previous estimate of $34 million.
Jose Mas, MasTec’s President and CEO noted, “Wanzek is a great fit with MasTec. This transaction
positions MasTec as a major player in numerous markets which are expected to grow dramatically as
the new administration focuses on alternative energy and infrastructure investments to stimulate
the economy and create up to 2.5 million
new jobs. With Wanzek’s capabilities in wind power, natural gas, industrial processing,
heavy/civil and road and bridge construction infrastructure, we believe that the business
combination will produce excellent financial synergies for 2009 and beyond.”
Wanzek’s President and CEO Jon Wanzek added, “We are delighted to join the MasTec team and look
forward to serving our growing customer base. We continue to experience strong demand for our
services and are excited about the new
administration’s focus on our end markets as a critical
component for improving the economy.”
MasTec is also reaffirming its recently issued revenue and earnings guidance for 2008 and 2009.
MasTec expects 2008 revenue to be between $1.325 billion and $1.345 billion, with earnings of $0.93
to $0.96 per diluted share. Growth in earnings per share is expected to range from 39 to 43
percent over pro-forma adjusted earnings for 2007, which excluded a $39 million charge for the
settlement of legacy legal issues, claims and other disputes.
For 2009, MasTec expects revenue between $1.95 and $2.0 billion, a 45 to 51 percent growth rate
over expected revenue for 2008. Earnings for 2009 are expected to be between $1.05 and $1.15 per
diluted share.
Despite strong revenue growth in 2009, book income will be burdened by a significantly higher
non-cash book tax rate. Due to MasTec’s $193 million Federal tax net operating loss carryforward
and related tax benefits deferred for book purposes, MasTec has not had any significant amounts of
book tax expense in recent years. With the improved earnings outlook, the Company expects to use up
its deferred tax valuation allowance in 2009 and start accruing a significant amount of taxes after
recording approximately $77 million in pre-tax earnings from September 30, 2008 forward. Regarding
cash taxes, based upon current projections, the Company may pay several million dollars of
alternative minimum tax payments in 2009, should pay a partial year of cash taxes in 2010 and then
be a full cash taxpayer in 2011.
EBITDA for 2008 is estimated to be in the range $105 to $109 million, which compares to $73 million
for 2007, a 44 to 49 percent growth rate. 2009 EBITDA is estimated to be $180 to $200 million,
which is a 65 to 90 percent growth rate over 2008 expectations. EBITDA margin, based on the
Company’s guidance, is estimated to improve from 7.0 percent for 2007 to 7.9 to 8.1 percent for
2008 to 9.2 to 10.0 percent for 2009.
The Company’s guidance assumes continuation of today’s soft economy and is not dependent on a
fourth quarter or 2009 recovery. Guidance also does not include any additional impact of legacy
litigation, or any mark-to-market valuation adjustments on auction rate securities, either positive
or negative.
MasTec’s senior management will be in New York City presenting at the 2008 FBR Capital Markets Fall
Investor Conference on Wednesday, December 3, at approximately 1:35 p.m. Eastern time and will
address the revised acquisition terms in their presentation.
The presentation audio and slides will be webcast live on the Internet at
http://www.wsw.com/webcast/fbr22/mtz/. The presentation may be accessed through a link on the
investor relations page of MasTec’s website at www.mastec.com. Interested parties should check the
Company’s website for any schedule updates or time changes. The presentation will also be
available for replay on the MasTec website for an additional 30 days.
MasTec is a leading specialty contractor operating mainly throughout the United States across a
range of industries. The Company’s core activities are the building, installation, maintenance and
upgrade of communication and utility infrastructure systems. The Company’s corporate website is

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act. These statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to
risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, that are difficult
to predict, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted
in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in forward-looking statements include; our ability to obtain financing or
otherwise consummate the Wanzek acquisition on a timely basis or at all, retain qualified personnel
and key management, integrate Wanzek and Nsoro with MasTec within the expected timeframes and
achieve the revenue, cost savings and earnings levels from the acquisitions at or above the levels
projected; that in connection with the acquisition of Nsoro, we will be able to maintain and grow
the customer relationship with Nsoro’s principal customer; our ability to raise the funds necessary
to purchase Wanzek on terms at least at as favorable as those assumed in our financing plans;
economic downturns, reduced capital expenditures, reduced financing availability, consolidation and
technological and regulatory changes in the industries we serve; public response to and the
potential expiration or extension of the federal production tax credit and any similar local or
state regulations affecting renewable energy projects; increases in fuel, maintenance, materials
and other costs; any liquidity issues related to our securities held for sale; adverse
determinations on any claim, lawsuit or proceeding; the highly competitive nature of our industry;
our dependence on a limited number of customers; the ability of our and Wanzek’s customers to
terminate or reduce the amount of work, or in some cases prices paid for services under many of our
contracts; the adequacy of our insurance, legal and other reserves and allowances for doubtful
accounts; any exposure related to our divested state Department of Transportation projects and
assets; the restrictions imposed by our credit facility, senior notes and any future loans or
securities; the outcome of our plans for future operations, growth and services, including backlog
and acquisitions; any dilution or stock price volatility which shareholders may experience in
connection with shares we may issue as consideration for earn-out obligations entered into in
connection with past or future acquisitions; and the other factors referenced in the reports we
furnish to and file with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking
statements.
