ITEM 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 17, 2005, MasTec and its bank group amended the loan agreement for its $125 million credit facility. We are required to be in compliance with certain financial covenants measured on a monthly basis. As a result of our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004, we would not have been in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement as of December 31, 2004. The amendment to the credit facility modified this covenant and other covenants and we are in compliance with the credit facility’s financial covenants as of December 31, 2004.

A copy of the amendment is attached and incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit Number   Description
10.31   Amendment No. 10 to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated March 17, 2005.

 

AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT,
AND WAIVER

        THIS AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND WAIVER (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of March 17, 2005, between MasTec, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MasTec”), the Subsidiaries of MasTec identified on the signature pages hereto (together with MasTec, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Borrowers”), the financial institutions party from time to time to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the “Lenders”) and Fleet Capital Corporation, a Rhode Island corporation, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders.

Recitals:

        The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of January 22, 2002 (as amended and in effect on the date hereof, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain revolving credit loans and letter of credit accommodations to or for the benefit of the Borrowers.

        The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders agree to amend the Loan Agreement to, among other things, amend the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.1 of the Loan Agreement.

        The Borrowers have informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that a Default exists under the Loan Agreement (the “Designated Default”) by reason of the granting to DirecTV, Inc. by MasTec North America, Inc. of a second priority lien upon Inventory sold to MasTec North America, Inc. by DirecTV, Inc., in violation of Sections 7.2(a) and 8.7 of the Loan Agreement. The Borrowers have further requested that the Lenders waive the Designated Default.

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Lenders have agreed so to amend the Loan Agreement, to waive the Designated Default.

        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. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

    2.        Amendments to Loan Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 4 of this Amendment, the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

    (a)        By deleting the definitions of “Comcast Concentration Limit,” “DirecTV Concentration Limit,” “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio,” “Letter of Credit Facility,” “Letter of Credit Reserve,” and “Liberty Letter of Credit,” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement and by substituting the following new definitions in lieu thereof:

 

        “Comcast Concentration Percentage” means 15%, or such lesser percentage as the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable credit judgment determine from time to time.


 

         “DirecTV Concentration Percentage” means (a) at any time that DirecTV’s corporate credit rating or senior debt rating (secured or unsecured) by Moody’s is Ba3 or higher and by S&P is BB or higher, 30%; providedthat, if Borrowers maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as reflected on Borrowers’ quarterly financial statements and the related officer’s certificate delivered in accordance with the respective provisions of Section 10.1(b) and 10.3, on average for any period of 4 consecutive Fiscal Quarters ended on or after June 30, 2005, greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00, and no Default or Event of Default exists, then, for the Fiscal Quarter immediately succeeding such 4 consecutive Fiscal Quarter period, so long as DirecTV’s ratings are not less than the levels set forth in this clause (a), 35%; (b) at any time that DirecTV’s corporate credit rating or senior debt rating (secured or unsecured) by Moody’s is lower than Ba3 or by S&P is lower than BB, 20%; or (c) irrespective of DirecTV’s rating, such lesser percentage as the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable credit judgment determine from time to time.


 

        “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, for any specified accounting period, the ratio of EBITDA of MasTec’s NAOperations for such period, adjusted, as appropriate, to add back any Non-Cash Non-Recurring Charge Amounts deducted in computing such EBITDA, less the sum of cash income taxes paid and Restricted Payments (other than to the extent permitted by this Agreement), Restricted Distributions (other than to the extent permitted by this Agreement), and Net Capital Expenditures (other than Financed Capex) made, on a consolidated basis by MasTec’s NAOperations during such period, to the sum of their consolidated interest expense for such period and current maturities of long-term Debt as of the date of determination, provided that for any specified accounting period of less than 12 consecutive months, current maturities of long-term Debt as of the date of determination shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months included in such specified accounting period and the denominator of which is 12.


 

         “Letter of Credit Guarantee Facility” means a subfacility of the Revolving Credit Facility providing for the issuance of (a) Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Guarantees as described in Article 3 in an aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations at any one time outstanding not to exceed $45,000,000, plus (b) the amount available to be drawn from time to time under the Liberty Letter of Credit, plus (c) the amount available to be drawn from time to time under the Canadian Financing Letter of Credit.


 

         “Letter of Credit Reserve” means, at any time, the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations at such time, other than Letter of Credit Obligations that are fully secured by Cash Collateral.

(d) such Account is not owing by an Account Debtor more than 20% (or as to any Approved Account Debtor, 50%) of whose then-existing accounts owing to all the Loan Parties do not meet the requirements set forth in clause (b) above; provided that, any such Account owing by Comcast that is unpaid not more than 60 days after its due date or more than 90 days after the invoice date, net of bad debt allowance, shall be considered an Eligible Account for purposes of (i) Borrowers’ Borrowing Base Certificate that was submitted as of February 28, 2005 (provided that Borrower updates such Borrowing Base Certificate to reflect changes in the Accounts owing by Comcast that have occurred since January 31, 2005, and resubmits such updated Borrowing Base Certificate to the Administrative Agent), and (ii) Borrowers’ Borrowing Base Certificate submitted as of March 25, 2005;


     (c)        By inserting the following new definitions in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement in proper alphabetical sequence:

         “Verizon Concentration Limit” means (a) at any time that Verizon’s corporate credit rating or senior debt rating (secured or unsecured) by Moody’s is Baa3 or higher and by S&P BBB- or higher, 30%; if Borrowers maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as reflected on Borrowers’ quarterly financial statements and the related officer’s certificate delivered in accordance with the respective provisions of Section 10.1(b) and 10.3, on average for any period of 4 consecutive Fiscal Quarters ended on or after June 30, 2005, greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00, and no Default or Event of Default exists, then, for the Fiscal Quarter immediately succeeding such 4 consecutive Fiscal Quarter period, so long as Verizon’s ratings are not less than the levels set forth in this clause (a), 35%; (b) at any time that Verizon’s corporate credit rating or senior debt rating (secured or unsecured) by Moody’s is lower than Baa3 or by S&P is lower than BBB-, 20%; or (c) irrespective of Verizon’s rating, such lesser percentage as the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable credit judgment determine from time to time.

Except as expressly amended hereby, the Loan Agreement and all terms, conditions and provisions thereof remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
