resolve the dispute within ten (10) business day after the
delivery of the Dispute Notice, the dispute shall be submitted to
the CPA for Sellers and the CPA for MasTec for resolution. The
CPAs shall use their best efforts to resolve the dispute within
seven (7) business days after submission. If the CPAs are unable
to agree upon a resolution within said seven (7) business day
period the dispute shall be submitted to the American Arbitration
Association for resolution. The determination of either the
CPAs, on one hand, or the American Arbitration Association, on
the other hand , as to the resolution of any dispute shall be
binding and conclusive upon all parties hereto. All
determinations pursuant to this paragraph 1.6 shall be in writing
and delivered to the parties hereto. Any award made pursuant to

Arbitration Association in connection with the resolution of
disputes pursuant to paragraph (c) above shall be shared equally
by the Sellers and MasTec.

period for giving the Dispute Notice, if no Dispute Notice is
given, or immediately upon the resolution of disputes, if any,
pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted as follows (as so adjusted, the "Adjusted Purchase
Price"):
(i) the amount of the Net Asset Adjustment, if
positive, shall be added to, and if negative, shall be deducted
from, the Purchase Price.
(ii) The difference between the original Purchase Price
and the Adjusted Purchase Price shall be referred to herein as
the "Adjustment Amount".
(f) The Note shall be increased or decreased by the
Adjustment Amount on the date that the Adjusted Purchase Price
has been agreed upon by MasTec and Sellers or the date of
determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price pursuant to
subsection 1.6(c).
(g) Within ten (10) days following written request by
MasTec, Sellers shall pay to MasTec the amount of any account
receivable shown on the Closing Balance Sheet which has not been
collected by December 31, 1994, and which is neither an amount
owed under a public contract, nor secured by a payment bond or a
statutory construction lien right reasonably acceptable to
MasTec. In the event that any amount with respect to any such
uncollected amount is thereafter collected, such amount shall be
paid by MasTec to Sellers within ten (10) days following
collection.

Purchase Price. On or before March 31 for each year following
the end of the period for which Contingent Amounts are determined

setting forth the Contingent Amount due and the calculation of
said amount. (CPA's Contingent Amount Report) MasTec shall pay
to Sellers the Contingent Amount in accordance with their share
ownership due as determined by the CPA's Contingent Amount Report
within ten (10) business days of the issuance of the CPA's
Contingent Amount Report unless Sellers or MasTec dispute same.

forth as in the CPA's Contingent Amount Report, the parties shall
resolve said dispute in the manner set forth in paragraph 1.6 (c)
and (d). The payment shall be made within ten (10) business days
of the resolution of such dispute. Any payment due on any
Contingent Amount Due shall bear interest at the rate of seven

calculated until such amount is paid to Sellers.

Act of 1974, as amended from time to time, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder ("ERISA"); (ii) bonus,
stock option, stock purchase, restricted stock, incentive,

former employee medical, life, disability or accident benefits
(whether or not insured), accrued leave, vacation, sick pay,
sick leave, supplemental retirement or unemployment benefit
plans, programs, arrangements or practices; and (iii)
employment, termination, and severance contracts or
agreements, whether or not any such plans, programs,
arrangements, contracts, agreements or practices (referred to
in clause (i), (ii) or (iii)) are in writing or are otherwise
exempt from the provisions of ERISA, established, maintained
or contributed to (or with respect to which an obligation to
contribute has been undertaken) by DT (including, for this
purpose and for the purpose of all of the representations in
this Section 2.12, all employers (whether or not incorporated)
which by reason of common control are treated together with DT
as a single employer within the meaning of Section 414 of the
Code) since September 2, 1974 ("Employee Benefit Plans").
Status of Plans. Except as set forth in
Section 2.12 of the Disclosure Schedule, each Employee Benefit
Plan has at all times been maintained and operated in substan
tial compliance with its terms and the requirements of all
applicable laws, including, without limitation, ERISA and the
Code. Except as set forth in Section 2.12 of the Disclosure
Schedule, no complete or partial termination of any Employee
Benefit Plan has occurred or is expected to occur and DT has
no commitment, or understanding to create, modify or terminate
any Employee Benefit Plan. Except as required by applicable
law, no condition or circumstance exists that would prevent
the amendment or termination of any Employee Benefit Plan. No
event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has
existed that could result in a material increase in the
benefits under or the expense of maintaining any Employee
Benefit Plan from the level of benefits or expense incurred
for the most current fiscal year thereof. Except as set forth
in Section 2.12 of the Disclosure Schedule, DT (i) is not or
has ever been a party to, contributed to, or had a legal
obligation with respect to a multiemployer plan, as defined in
Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA, or (ii) is not a party to, or
maintains or contributes to, any employee benefit plan subject
to Title IV of ERISA and/or Section 412 of the Code.
Liabilities. No Employee Benefit Plan subject to
Section 412 or 418B of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has
incurred any accumulated funding deficiency within the meaning
of Section 412 or 418B of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA,
respectively, or has applied for or obtained a waiver from the
IRS of any minimum funding requirement under Section 412 of
the Code. DT has not incurred any liability to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") in connection with any
Employee Benefit Plan covering any employees or former
employees of DT, including any liability under Section 4069 or
4212(c) of ERISA or any penalty imposed under Section 4071 of
ERISA, or ceased operations at any facility or withdrawn from
any such Employee Benefit Plan in a manner which could subject
it to liability under Section 4062, 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, or
knows of any facts or circumstances that might give rise to
any liability of DT to the PBGC under Title IV of ERISA that
could reasonably be anticipated to result in any claims being
made against MasTec by the PBGC.
DT does not maintain any Employee Benefit Plan which is
a "group health plan" (as such term is defined in Section
5000(b)(1) of the Code) that has not been administered and
operated in all respects in compliance with the applicable
requirements of Section 601 of ERISA and Section 4980B(f) of the
Code and DT is not subject to any liability, including, without
limitation, additional contributions, fines, penalties or loss of
tax deduction as a result of such administration and operation.
DT maintains no Employee Benefit Plan (whether qualified or non
qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code)
providing for retiree health and/or life benefits and having
unfunded liabilities. DT maintains no Employee Benefit Plan
which is an "employee welfare benefit plan" (as such term is
defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) that has provided any
"disqualified benefit" (as such term is defined in Section
4976(b) of the Code) with respect to which an excise tax could be
imposed.
Except as set forth in Section 2.12 of the Disclosure
Schedule, DT has no unfunded liabilities pursuant to any Employee
Benefit Plan that is not intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code.
DT has not incurred any liability for any tax or excise
tax arising under Section 4977, 4978, 4978B, 4979, 4980 or 4980B
of the Code, and no event has occurred and no condition or
circumstance has existed that could give rise to any such
liability.
There are no actions, suits or claims pending, or, to
the best knowledge of Sellers, threatened, anticipated or
expected to be asserted against any Employee Benefit Plan or the
assets of any such plan (other than routine claims for benefits
and appeals of denied routine claims). No civil or criminal
action brought pursuant to the provisions of Title I, Subtitle B,
Part 5 of ERISA is pending, threatened, anticipated, or expected
to be asserted against DT or any fiduciary of any Employee
Benefit Plan, in any case with respect to any Employee Benefit
Plan. No Employee Benefit Plan has been the direct or indirect
subject of an audit, investigation or examination by any
governmental or quasi-governmental agency.
Contributions. Full payment has been made of all
amounts which DT is required, under applicable law or under
any Employee Benefit Plan or any agreement relating to any
Employee Benefit Plan to which DT is a party, to have paid as
contributions thereto as of the last day of the most recent
fiscal year of such Employee Benefit Plan ended prior to the
date hereof. All such contributions have been fully deducted
for income tax purposes and no such deduction has been
challenged or disallowed by any governmental entity, and no
event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has
existed that could give rise to any such challenge or
disallowance. Except as set forth in Section 2.12 of the
Disclosure Schedule, DT has made adequate provision for
reserves to meet contributions that have not been made because
they are not yet due under the terms of any Employee Benefit
Plan or related agreements. Benefits under all Employee
Benefit Plans are as represented and have not been increased
subsequent to the date as of which documents have been
provided.
Tax Qualification. Each Employee Benefit Plan
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has
been determined to be so qualified by the IRS. Except as set
forth in Section 2.12 of the Disclosure Schedule, each trust
established in connection with any Employee Benefit Plan which
is intended to be exempt from Federal income taxation under
Section 501(a) of the Code has been determined to be so exempt
by the IRS. Since the date of each most recent determination
referred to in this paragraph (e), no event has occurred and
no condition or circumstance has existed that resulted or is
likely to result in the revocation of any such determination
or that could adversely affect the qualified status of any
such Employee Benefit Plan or the exempt status of any such
trust.
Transactions. Neither DT nor any of its
directors, officers, employees or other Persons who partic
ipate in the operation of any Employee Benefit Plan or related
trust or funding vehicle, has engaged in any transaction with
respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or breached any
applicable fiduciary responsibilities or obligations under
Title I of ERISA that would subject any of them to a tax,
penalty or liability for prohibited transactions under ERISA
or the Code or would result in any claim being made under, by
or on behalf of any such Employee Benefit Plan by any Person
with standing to make such claim.
Triggering Events. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions con
templated hereby, do not constitute a triggering event under
any Employee Benefit Plan, policy, arrangement, statement,
commitment or agreement, whether or not legally enforceable,
which (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional
or subsequent event) will or may result in any payment
(whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, vesting
or increase in benefits to any employee or former employee or
director of DT. Except as set forth in Section 2.12 of the
Disclosure Schedule, no Employee Benefit Plan provides for the
payment of severance benefits upon the termination of an
employee's employment.
Documents. Sellers have, or by June 18, 1994,
shall have delivered, or caused to be delivered, to MasTec and
their counsel true and complete copies of all material
documents in connection with each Employee Benefit Plan,
including, without limitation (where applicable): (i) all
Employee Benefit Plans as in effect on the date hereof,
together with all amendments thereto, including, in the case
of any Employee Benefit Plan not set forth in writing, a

descriptions, summaries of material modifications, and
material communications; (iii) all current trust agreements,

contemplated by this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section
3.3 of the MasTec Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and

MasTec of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance
with any of the provisions hereof or thereof will (i) conflict
with or result in any breach of any provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation or By-Laws of MasTec, (ii) result in a violation

decision and that it has the ability to bear the economic risks
of its investment. Nothing set forth in this Section 3.4 shall
in any manner whatsoever effect MasTec's right to rely upon the
representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in this

or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the
Acquisition by the Directors of MasTec:
by mutual written consent of MasTec and
Sellers;
by MasTec on or prior to June 18, 1994, based

absolute discretion;
by MasTec or the Sellers if the Closing shall
not have occurred on or before June 30, 1994 (unless the
failure to consummate the Acquisition by such date shall have
resulted primarily from MasTec or Sellers breaching any
warranty or covenant in this Agreement);
Section Effect of Termination. In the event of the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof,
this Agreement shall forthwith terminate without any liability on
the part of any party hereto or its affiliates, directors,

construed as a waiver of any default or any acquiescence thereto.
No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege shall preclude the further exercise of such right,
power or privilege, or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. No extension of time in which to perform and no
waiver shall be valid against any party hereto, unless made in

ARTICLE

severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold MasTec, each
MasTec Subsidiary and their respective officers, directors,
agents and representatives harmless from all claims, losses,
damages, costs and expenses incurred by any of them, directly
or indirectly, including, without limitation, all reasonable
legal fees incurred in investigating, litigating (at trial or
appellate level) or otherwise resolving any dispute
(collectively, "Damages"), arising out of or in connection
with any of the following:
any misrepresentation or
breach of any warranty made by any Seller
in this Agreement or any certificate or
document delivered to MasTec pursuant
hereto;
any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation to be performed by
any Seller contained in this Agreement; or
any transfer taxes payable
with respect to the transfer of the Shares
to MasTec pursuant hereto.
Indemnification by MasTec. MasTec shall
indemnify, defend and hold Sellers, DT and their respective
officers, directors, agents and representatives harmless from
all Damages incurred by any of them arising out of or in
connection with any of the following:
any misrepresentation or
breach of any warranty made by MasTec in
this Agreement or any certificate or
document delivered to Sellers pursuant
hereto; or
any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation to be performed by
MasTec contained in this Agreement.
Liability. Except for any liability arising
from Taxes or any liability arising from Employee Benefit
Plans, for purposes of this Section 10.1, Sellers shall be
deemed to have made a misrepresentation or to have breached a
warranty only if the Damages suffered by MasTec as a result
thereof shall exceed $10,000. For purposes of this Section
10.1, Sellers shall be deemed to have made a misrepresentation
or to have breached a warranty related to Taxes or Employee
Benefit Plans if the Damages suffered by MasTec as a result
thereof shall exceed One hundred dollars ($100.00) MasTec
shall be deemed to have made a misrepresentation or to have
breached a warranty only if the Damages suffered by Sellers
shall exceed $10,000. No claim for indemnification shall be
made under this Agreement for any cost or expense to the
extent such is reimbursed by any insurance coverage.
Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the
parties hereto to indemnify, defend and hold harmless pursuant
to this Article IX shall survive the Closing and shall
continue for as long as the representation, warranty,
covenant, agreement or obligation giving rise to the
obligation to indemnify shall survive pursuant hereto.
Section Third Party Claim Procedure. If a third
party (including, without limitation, a Governmental Entity)
asserts a claim against a party to this Agreement and
indemnification in respect of such claim is sought under the
provisions of this Article IX by such party against another party
to this Agreement, the indemnified party shall promptly (but not
later than 15 business days prior to the time when an answer or
other responsive pleading or notice with respect to the claim is
required) give written notice to the indemnifying party of such
claim. The indemnifying party shall have the right at its
election to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by
giving prompt written notice to the indemnified party at least
five business days prior to the time when an answer or other
responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required.
If the indemnifying party makes such election, it may conduct the
defense of such claim through counsel or representatives of its
choosing (subject to the indemnified party's approval of such
counsel or representatives, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), shall be responsible for the expenses of
such defense, and shall be bound by the results of its defense or
settlement of claim to the extent it produces Damages to the
indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not settle any
such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the
indemnified party and no such settlement involving any equitable
relief or which might have a material and adverse effect on the
indemnified party shall be agreed to without the written consent
of the indemnified party. So long as the indemnifying party is
diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the
indemnified party may pay or settle such claim only at its own
expense. Within 20 business days after the receipt by the
indemnifying party of written request made by the indemnified
party at any time, the indemnifying party shall make financial
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party,
such as the posting of a bond or a letter of credit, to secure
the payment of its obligations under this Article IX in respect
of such claims. If the indemnifying party does not make such
election, or having made such election does not proceed
diligently to defend such claim, or does not continue diligently
to contest such claim, or does not make the financial
arrangements described in the immediately preceding sentence,
then the indemnified party may, upon 10 business days' written
notice and at the expense of the indemnifying party, take over
the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its exclusive
discretion and the indemnifying party shall be bound by any
defense or settlement that the indemnified party may make in good
faith with respect to such claim. The parties shall cooperate in
defending such third party claims and the defending party shall
have access to records, information and personnel in control of
the other party or parties which are pertinent to the defense
thereof.
Section Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 9.4 and elsewhere herein, the rights and
remedies expressly provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which the parties hereto may
otherwise have at law or in equity. Nothing herein shall be
construed to require any of the parties hereto to elect among
remedies.
and
and 6.3(d) shall not have been satisfied or waived or because
MasTec fails to close, MasTec shall pay the sum of $100,000 to
Sellers, provided that all of the conditions set forth in
Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall have been satisfied or waived. If the
transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated because any
one or more of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.2(a),
6.2(b) and 6.2(c) and 6.2(d) shall not have been satisfied or
waived or because any Seller fails to close, Sellers, jointly and
severally, shall pay the sum of $100,000 to MasTec, provided that
all of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 shall
have been satisfied or waived. The parties hereto acknowledge
that their damages resulting from a failure to close in the
circumstances described in this Section 9.4 are impossible to
determine as of the date hereof and that the sum of $100,000 is a
reasonable estimate of such damages. In the event either party
fails to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the
other parties hereto shall have no rights or remedies on account
of any misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant by
the defaulting party, other than as provided in this Section 9.4
and in Section 10.7.
Section 9.5 Payment of Indemnification Obligation.
In the event either party to this Agreement shall obtain against
the other a final arbitration award or judgement of any court
having jurisdiction over the parties hereto, the amount of such
award or judgement may be set off against any payments otherwise
due to such party in connection with this Agreement, the Note or
the transactions contemplated hereby. All indemnification by
MasTec, on the one hand, or the Sellers, on the other hand (to
the extent not satisfied in the manner specified in the preceding
sentence), shall be effected by payment of cash or delivery of a
cashiers' or certified check in the amount of the indemnification
liability.
