Attn:    Julian D. Singer
Gentlemen:
This letter (this “Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between (a) Aviat
Networks, Inc. (“Company”) and (b) JDS1, LLC (“JDS1”) and each of the other
related Persons (as defined below) set forth on the signature pages to this
Agreement (collectively with JDS1, the “JDS Group”). The JDS Group and each of
its Affiliates (as defined below) and Associates (as defined below) are
collectively referred to as the “Investors.” Company and the JDS Group are each
a “Party” and collectively the “Parties.”
1.Board Matters.
(a)New Director; Size of the Board. Company agrees that, following the execution
of this Agreement, Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and all applicable
committees of the Board will take all action necessary (including increasing the
size of the Board) to include Wayne Barr, Jr. (the “New Director”) on Company’s
slate of nominees standing for election at Company’s Annual Meeting of
Stockholders in respect of its fiscal year 2016 (the “2016 Annual Meeting”).
Company’s slate of nominees for the 2016 Annual Meeting will consist of a total
of six individuals. During the Restricted Period (as defined below), Company
will not increase the size of the Board to more than six members. Company will
use its reasonable best efforts to hold the 2016 Annual Meeting no later than
November 30, 2016.
(b)2017 Annual Meeting. In the event that Company gives written notice to JDS1
that it intends to re-nominate the New Director for election to the Board at
Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in respect of its fiscal year 2017 (the
“2017 Annual Meeting”) in accordance with the proviso in paragraph 15(f), then
the Board will also include the New Director on Company’s slate of nominees
standing for election at the 2017 Annual Meeting, which slate of nominees will
consist of not more than six individuals. Company will use its reasonable best
efforts to hold the 2017 Annual Meeting within 25 days of the anniversary of the
date of the 2016 Annual Meeting.
2.Committee Assignments. If elected to the Board, the Board will assign the New
Director to one or more committees of the Board in accordance with its customary
practice. During the Restricted Period, Company agrees that it will not form new
committees or subcommittees of the Board to which significant decision-making
authority is delegated that do not have the New Director as a member (unless the
New Director has, in the good faith determination of the Board, a conflict that
would prevent him from serving on such committee or subcommittee).
3.Compliance with Laws and Company Policies. JDS1 will cause the New Director
to, if requested by Company, agree in writing, during the term of any service as
a director of Company, to (a) comply with all laws, policies, procedures,
processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to members of the
Board, including, without limitation, Company’s code of conduct, insider trading
policy, Regulation FD policy, related party transactions policy and corporate
governance guidelines, in each case as amended from time to time; and (b) keep
confidential all confidential information of Company and not impermissibly
disclose any discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board and its
committees, unless previously disclosed publicly by Company.
4.No Fiduciary Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the New Director, during his term of service as a director of
Company, will not be prohibited from acting in his

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

capacity as a director or from complying with his fiduciary duties as a director
of Company (including, without limitation, voting on any matter submitted for
consideration by the Board, participating in deliberations or discussions of the
Board and making suggestions or raising any issues or recommendations to the
Board).
5.Voting Commitment. At the 2016 Annual Meeting, the Investors will (a) cause
all Voting Securities (as defined below) beneficially owned by them to be
present for quorum purposes; and (b) vote, or cause to be voted, all Voting
Securities beneficially owned by them in favor of the following matters, if they
are presented at the 2016 Annual Meeting: (i) Company’s slate of directors;
(ii) the ratification of Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm; (iii) approval of the Company’s named executive officer compensation;
(iv) the approval of Company’s Tax Benefit Preservation Plan (the “Preservation
Plan”); and (v) approval of certain amendments to the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of Company (the “Charter Amendment”),
which Charter Amendment will generally void transfers of Company’s securities
that would result in either a person (A) becoming the owner of 4.9% or more of
Company’s common stock or (B) who already owns 4.9% or more of Company’s common
stock from increasing its percentage ownership interest, it being understood
that the Investors’ obligation to vote in favor of the matters described in
clauses (iv) and (v) is subject to Company’s compliance with paragraph 11. In
addition, if the Restricted Period is still in effect at the 2017 Annual
Meeting, then at the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Investors will (1) cause all
Voting Securities beneficially owned by them to be present for quorum purposes;
and (2) vote, or cause to be voted, all Voting Securities beneficially owned by
them in favor of Company’s slate of directors.
6.Solicitation by Company. Company will recommend that Company’s stockholders
vote, and will solicit proxies, in favor of the election of the New Director at
the 2016 Annual Meeting (and, if the New Director is re-nominated to the Board
in connection with the 2017 Annual Meeting, at the 2017 Annual Meeting) and
otherwise support the New Director for election in a manner no less rigorous and
favorable than the manner in which Company supports its other nominees.
7.Director Benefits. The New Director will be entitled to the same director
benefits as other members of the Board, including, but not limited to,
(a) compensation for his service as a director and reimbursement for his
expenses on the same basis as all other non-employee directors of Company;
(b) equity-based compensation grants and other benefits on the same basis as all
other non-employee directors of Company; and (c) the same rights of
indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as the
other non-employee directors of Company as such rights may exist from time to
time.
8.Recusal. The JDS Group agrees that the Board or any of its committees, in the
exercise of its fiduciary duties, may recuse the New Director from any Board or
committee meeting or portion thereof at which the Board or such committee is
evaluating or taking action with respect to (a) the exercise of any of Company’s
rights or enforcement of any of the obligations under this Agreement; (b) any
action taken in response to actions taken or proposed by any Investor with
respect to Company; or (c) any proposed transaction between Company and any
Investor.
9.Ownership Requirement. If at any time the Investors cease to be the beneficial
owner of more than 5% of Company’s common stock, then the JDS Group will cause
the New Director to offer his resignation from the Board. The Board will
consider such resignation in accordance with its normal practices. If the Board
accepts such resignation, then the JDS Group will cause the New Director to
resign from the Board. In the event that Company accepts the New Director’s
resignation from the Board pursuant to this paragraph 9, then this Agreement,
and all of the Investors’ obligations hereunder, will immediately terminate.
From time to time, Company may make reasonable requests that the JDS Group
provide a written certification of its ownership of shares of Company’s common
stock, and the JDS Group will do so promptly following such requests.
10.Standstill. During the Restricted Period, none of the Investors or their
respective Affiliates and Associates or their respective principals, directors,
general partners, officers, employees, and agents and representatives acting on
their respective behalf not to, in any way, directly or indirectly (in each
case, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement):

party to, on an unsolicited basis, make an offer or proposal (with or without
conditions) with respect to any merger, acquisition, recapitalization,
restructuring, disposition or other business combination involving Company, or
publicly encourage, initiate or support any third party in making such an offer
or proposal;
(g)with respect to Company or the Voting Securities, (i) communicate with
Company’s stockholders or others pursuant to Rule 14a-1(l)(2)(iv) pursuant to
the Exchange Act; (ii) participate in, or take any action pursuant to, or
encourage any Person to take any action pursuant to, any type of “proxy access”;
or (iii) conduct any nonbinding referendum or “stockholder forum”;
(h)other than through non-public communications with Company that would not
reasonably be expected to trigger public disclosure obligations for any Party,
make or disclose any statement regarding any intent, purpose, plan or proposal
with respect to the Board or Company, its management, policies, affairs or
assets, or the Voting Securities or this Agreement, that is inconsistent with
the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any intent,

over-the-counter options with respect to the Voting Securities; and

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(j)other than with other Investors, have any discussions or communications, or
enter into any agreements, understandings or arrangements (whether written or
oral), with, or advise, finance, assist or encourage, any Person, in connection
with any of the foregoing.
11.Ownership Limitation. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the
Board will take all action necessary to permit the Investors to increase their
aggregate ownership to no more than 7.9% of Company’s common stock. These
actions will include, but not be limited to, (a) waiving the Preservation Plan
such that the Investors will not become an “Acquiring Person” as defined by the
Preservation Plan as a result of such an ownership increase; and (b) ensuring
that the Charter Amendment will not prohibit the Investors from increasing their
ownership in accordance with the previous sentence. The Board will consider in
good faith any request by the Investors to increase the ownership limitation in
this paragraph 11, taking into account, among other things, whether the
Investors increasing their ownership in Company would reasonably be expected to
adversely impact in any material respect the time period in which Company could
use the Tax Benefits (as defined in the Preservation Plan) or limit or impair
the availability to Company of the Tax Benefits.
12.Non-Disparagement. Subject to applicable law, each of the Parties covenants
and agrees that, during the Restricted Period, neither it nor any of its
respective Affiliates, Associates, agents, subsidiaries, successors, assigns,
officers, key employees or directors will in any way publicly criticize,
disparage, call into disrepute or otherwise defame or slander the other Party or
such other Party’s Affiliates, Associates, subsidiaries, successors, assigns,
officers (including any current or former officer of a Party or a Party’s
subsidiaries), directors (including any current or former director of a Party or
a Party’s subsidiaries), employees, stockholders, agents, attorneys or
representatives, or any of their businesses, products or services, in any manner
that would reasonably be expected to damage the business or reputation of such
other Party, their businesses, products or services or their subsidiaries,
affiliates, successors, assigns, officers (or former officers), directors (or
former directors), employees, stockholders, agents, attorneys or
representatives.
13.Compliance with this Agreement. JDS1 will cause the other Investors to comply
with the terms of this Agreement and will be responsible for any breach of the
terms of this Agreement by any Investor, whether or not such Investor is a party
to this Agreement.
14.Public Disclosure.

affecting the rights of creditors and subject to general equity principles;
(b) this Agreement does not and will not violate any law, any order of any court

or threatened breach of this Agreement, (a) the Party seeking specific
performance will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief, without
proof of actual damages; (b) the Party against whom specific performance is

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

applicable right or requirement that a bond be posted. Such remedies will not be
the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition
to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
19.Entire Agreement; Binding Nature; Assignment; Waiver. This Agreement and the
Exhibit constitute the only agreement between the Investors and Company with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior
agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or
written. This Agreement binds, and will inure to the benefit, of the Parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Company nor any
member of the JDS Group may assign or otherwise transfer either this Agreement
or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior
written approval of the other Party. Any purported transfer requiring consent
without such consent is void. No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by the Party affected thereby, and then only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose stated therein. Any waiver by any Party of a breach of
any provision of this Agreement will not operate as or be construed to be a
waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other
provision of this Agreement. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict
adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions will not be
considered a waiver or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon
strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
20.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the other provisions
of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this
Agreement that is held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will
remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable,
and this Agreement will otherwise be construed so as to effectuate the original
intention of the Parties reflected in this Agreement. The Parties further agree
to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a
valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the
purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.
21.Governing Law; Forum. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of Company and the JDS
Group (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive personal
jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any
appellate court thereof (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction
over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District
of Delaware will have exclusive personal jurisdiction); (b) agrees that it will
not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
request for leave from any such court; (c) agrees that it will not bring any
action relating to this Agreement or otherwise in any court other than the such
courts; and (d) waives any claim of improper venue or any claim that those
courts are an inconvenient forum. The Parties agree that mailing of process or
other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner
provided in paragraph 24 or in such other manner as may be permitted by
applicable law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.
22.Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION
BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR
AGREEMENT, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, OR ANY COURSE OF
CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY OF
THEM. No Party will seek to consolidate, by counterclaim or otherwise, any
action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which a
jury trial cannot be or has not been waived.
23.Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the
Parties and is not enforceable by any other Person.
24.Notices. All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and other
communications provided for in, and all legal process in regard to, this
Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed validly given, made or served if
(i) given by fax, when such fax is transmitted to the fax number set forth below

Aviat Networks Reaches Agreement with JDS1, LLC

SANTA CLARA, Calif., September [13], 2016 - Aviat Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW),
the leading expert in microwave networking solutions, today announced that it
has reached an agreement with JDS1, LLC and certain other investors
(collectively, the “JDS Group”) related to Aviat’s fiscal 2016 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders (the “2016 Annual Meeting”). Under the agreement, Aviat agreed to
include Wayne Barr, Jr. in its slate of director nominees for election at the
2016 Annual Meeting.
 
In connection with the agreement, the members of the JDS1 Group have agreed,
among other things, to vote all of their shares of Aviat’s stock in favor of
each of the Board of Directors’ nominees at the 2016 Annual Meeting. If the
Board of Directors chooses to re-nominate Mr. Barr to stand for election at
Aviat’s fiscal 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then the JDS1 Group must
