Exhibit 10.1

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND

RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into this 31st day of May, 2011, by and among MASTEC, INC., a Florida corporation (“MasTec”), the Subsidiaries of MasTec identified on the signature pages hereto (together with MasTec, collectively the “Borrowers” and each individually a “Borrower”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, in its capacity as collateral and administrative agent (together with its successors in such capacity, “Agent”) for the financial institutions party from time to time to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Lenders”).

Recitals:

Agent, Lenders and Borrowers are parties to a certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated July 29, 2008, as amended by a letter amendment dated December 16, 2008, a letter amendment dated June 1, 2009, a letter amendment dated November 3, 2009, and a letter amendment dated November 24, 2010 (as so amended and at any other time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Agent and Lenders have made certain revolving credit loans and letter of credit accommodations to or for the benefit of Borrowers.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers have requested a Revolver Commitment increase in an amount of $50,000,000 pursuant to Section 2.1.6 of the Loan Agreement. In response to Borrowers’ request, the existing Lenders have elected not to exercise their first options to fund their Pro Rata shares of the requested increase in the Revolver Commitments, and Agent and Borrowers have instead solicited new Lenders to provide the requested Revolver Commitments.

A condition to the effectiveness of such Revolver Commitment increase is the execution of this Amendment by Borrowers and Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.6 of the Loan Agreement, in order to reflect the updated Revolver Commitments of each Lender after giving effect to the requested Revolver Commitment increase.

NOW, THEREFORE, for 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:

1. Definitions. Each capitalized term used in this Amendment, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Loan Agreement.

2. Amendments to Loan Agreement. Effective as of May 31, 2011 (the “Increase Effective Date”), the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) By deleting the Revolver Commitment amounts set forth opposite each Lender’s name on the signature pages to the Loan Agreement, and by substituting in lieu thereof the Revolver Commitment amounts set forth on Schedule 1 to this Amendment, including the Revolver Commitment amounts of the new Lenders providing the requested Revolver Commitment Increase.

---

(b) By deleting the introductory paragraph of Section 2 of the Loan Agreement, and by substituting in lieu thereof the following new introductory paragraph:

Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lenders severally agree to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth to make their respective shares of the Commitments available to Borrowers in the aggregate amount up to $210,000,000, or after giving effect to the provisions of Section 2.1.6 of this Agreement, $260,000,000, as set forth herein below:

3. Ratification and Reaffirmation.

4. Acknowledgments and Stipulations. To induce Agent to enter into this Amendment and grant the accommodations set forth herein, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and stipulates that (a) the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed by such Borrower, as herein modified, are legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower that are enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with the terms thereof; (b) all of the Obligations are owing and payable without defense, offset or counterclaim (and, to the extent there exists any such defense, offset or counterclaim on the date hereof, the same is hereby waived by such Borrower); (c) the security interests and Liens granted by such Borrower in favor of Agent are duly perfected, first priority security interests and Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens; and (d) as of the open of business on April 6, 2011, the unpaid principal amount of the Revolver Loans totaled $0, and the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit totaled $97,493,011.26.

6. Reference to Loan Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of the amendments set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment, each reference in the Loan Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

7. Breach of Amendment. This Amendment shall be part of the Loan Agreement and any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein shall constitute an Event of Default.

8. Conditions Precedent. The amendments set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment shall become effective on the Increase Effective Date, upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent:
