INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
On August 30, 2007, Quanta Services, Inc. (the Company or the Registrant) and InfraSource
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (InfraSource), consummated the merger (the Merger) of
Quanta MS Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
(Merger Sub), with and into InfraSource with InfraSource surviving the Merger and becoming a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as provided by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
March 18, 2007 (the Merger Agreement) by and among the Company, InfraSource and Merger Sub.
InfraSources common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the InfraSource Common Stock), is no
longer transferable, and certificates evidencing shares of InfraSource Common Stock only represent
the right to receive, without interest, shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.00001
per share (Common Stock).
In connection with the Merger, and as of the effective time of the Merger, each option to
purchase shares of InfraSource Common Stock granted under InfraSources 2003 Omnibus Stock
Incentive Plan, as amended, or InfraSources 2004 Omnibus Stock
Incentive Plan, as amended (collectively, the InfraSource
Plans), whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the
effective time of the Merger ceased to represent a right to purchase shares of InfraSource Common
Stock and was converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as applied to
each such InfraSource option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (including,
without limitation, the same vesting conditions), the number of whole shares of the Common Stock
that is equal to the number of shares of InfraSource Common Stock subject to such InfraSource
option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger multiplied by 1.223 (rounded down to
the nearest whole share), at an exercise price per share of Common Stock equal to the exercise price for each such share of InfraSource Common Stock subject to
such InfraSource option immediately prior to the effective time of
the Merger divided by 1.223 (rounded up to the nearest
whole penny). On
August 30, 2007, the Company assumed all rights and obligations under the InfraSource Plans and
renamed the InfraSource 2003 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan the Quanta Services, Inc. 2003 Omnibus
Stock Incentive Plan and the InfraSource 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan the Quanta Services,
Inc. 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (together, the Plans).
The Registrant hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-142279) by filing
this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto on Form S-8 relating to up to 1,986,514 shares
of Common Stock, which are issuable under the Quanta Services, Inc. 2003 Omnibus Stock Incentive
Plan (formerly known as the InfraSource 2003 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan), and the Quanta
Services, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (formerly known as the InfraSource 2004 Omnibus
Stock Incentive Plan). The issuance of all such shares of Common Stock was previously registered
on the Form S-4. All other shares of Common Stock previously registered on the Form S-4 were
issued in connection with the Merger.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit if he or she acted under similar standards to those set forth above, except
that no indemnification may be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that
the court in which such action or suit was
2
brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such
expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that, to the extent a director or officer of a
corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsection (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; that
indemnification provided for by Section 145 of the DGCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability
asserted against such officer or director and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or
arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section 145 of the DGCL.
Article Tenth of the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Article Seven of
the Companys Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions for indemnification of directors and
officers and for the advancements of expenses to any director or officer to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law. Additionally, Article Eleventh of the Companys Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that no director shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law.
Article Seven of the Companys Amended and Restated Bylaws permits the Company to
purchase insurance for directors and officers against liability for expenses, judgments or
settlements, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such persons against such
liabilities. The Company has director and officer insurance in place for its directors and
officers.
In addition, the Company has entered into Indemnity Agreements with its directors and
executive officers. The form of Indemnity Agreement entered into with each director and officer
was previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed
on May 31, 2005. The Companys board of directors may from time to time authorize the Company to
enter into additional indemnity agreements with other of its future directors and officers
utilizing the same form of Indemnity Agreement.
The Indemnity Agreements generally provide that the Company will, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each indemnitee that is, or is threatened to be
made, a party to any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding against all expenses, judgments,
fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee
in connection with any such proceeding. The Indemnity Agreements provide the indemnitee with
indemnification rights in connection with third-party proceedings and proceedings brought by or in
the right of the Company. In addition, the Indemnity Agreements provide for the advancement of
expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered proceeding to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law. The Indemnity Agreements also provide that if the indemnification
rights provided for therein are unavailable for any reason, the Company will pay, in the first
instance, the entire amount incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered proceeding
and waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against the indemnitee.
The rights provided by the Indemnity Agreements are in addition to any other rights to
indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled under applicable
law, the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, or
otherwise.
The above description of the Indemnity Agreements is subject to, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the form of Indemnity Agreement, previously filed
as Exhibit 10.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 31, 2005.
The Merger Agreement provides that:
(i) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of InfraSource shall continue to contain
provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and
exculpation of each former officer, director,
3
manager or partner, as applicable, of InfraSource and its subsidiaries (the InfraSource
Indemnified Directors and Officers) than were set forth in the certificate of incorporation and
bylaws of InfraSource on the date that the Merger Agreement was entered into, which provisions
shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified (unless an amendment, repeal or modification
is required by applicable laws or any InfraSource Indemnified Director and Officer affected thereby
consents in writing thereto) until August 30, 2013 in any manner that would adversely affect the
rights thereunder of any such individuals with respect to any acts or omissions occurring at or
prior to the August 30, 2007;
(ii) the indemnification agreements between InfraSource or any of its subsidiaries and certain
identified directors and officers of InfraSource existing on the date the Merger Agreement was
entered into shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be amended, terminated or
otherwise modified (unless an amendment or modification is required by applicable laws or any
InfraSource Indemnified Director and Officer affected thereby consents in writing thereto) until
August 30, 2013 in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such
individuals with respect to any acts or omissions occurring on or prior to August 30, 2007; and
(iii) subject to certain limitations, Registrant shall cause the former directors and officers
of InfraSource who were previously covered by InfraSources directors and officers liability
insurance policies to be covered by a single premium tail directors and officers liability
insurance policy with limits, terms and conditions at least as favorable to the policies of
InfraSource prior to August 30, 2007 until August 30, 2013 with respect to acts or omissions
occurring prior to August 30, 2007 that were committed by such directors and officers in their
capacities as such, with policy limits, terms and conditions at least as favorable to the limits,
terms and conditions in the policies of InfraSource prior to August 30, 2007.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) |
|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
5
new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
