Employment Agreement

Dear Mike:

This letter
agreement sets forth the terms of your continued employment with Aviat Networks, Inc. (the Company), as well as our understanding with respect to any termination of that employment relationship. This Agreement will become effective
July 18, 2011.

1. Position and Duties. You will be employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive
Officer, reporting to the Board of Directors. This position will be based at our location in Santa Clara, California. You accept employment with the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and you agree during your
employment not to engage in any business, other employment or other activities which would conflict with your obligations to the Company or create an actual or the appearance of a conflict of interest with the Companys interests or your
employment relationship with the Company. The Company will recommend that you be elected as a member of the Board at no additional compensation.

2. Term of Employment. Your employment with the Company is at will, which means that your employment is for no specified term, and may be terminated by you or the Company at any time, with or
without cause or notice, subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 5 and 6 below.

3. Compensation. You will be
compensated by the Company for your services as follows:

(a) Salary: Effective July 18, 2011, you will be paid a
monthly base salary of $45,833.33 ($550,000 per year), less applicable withholding, in accordance with the Companys normal payroll procedures and applicable law. In conjunction with your annual performance review, which will occur at or about
the start of each fiscal year (currently approximately July 1st), your base salary will be reviewed by the Board, and may be subject to adjustment based upon various factors including, but not limited to, your performance and the Companys
profitability. Your base salary will not be reduced except as part of a salary reduction program that similarly affects all members of the executive staff reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

(b) Annual Short-Term Incentive Plan: Subject to the Boards discretion to substitute alternative short-term incentives when deemed advisable, as is anticipated for FY2012, and subject to
approval of such a plan for Company employees each year, you will be eligible to participate in the Companys Annual Incentive Plan with a target annual bonus of 100% of base salary at target, based upon achievement of the same performance
objectives, floors and caps determined by the Board for the Annual Incentive Plan for executives generally. You will participate in any alternative short-term incentive adopted by the Board in lieu of a cash bonus.

(c) Long-Term Incentive Program: Subject to Board approval each year, you will be eligible to participate in a Long-Term Incentive
Plan with a target value, as determined by the Board. The GAAP value of your initial award, as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion, will be $733,333. The timing, structure and vesting will normally be on the same terms, as
determined by the Board, as apply to executives generally.

(d) Benefits: You will have the right, on the same basis as
other employees of the Company, to participate in and to receive benefits under any Company group medical, dental, life, disability or other group insurance plans, as well as under the Companys business expense reimbursement, educational
assistance, holiday, and other benefit plans and policies. You will also be eligible to participate in the Companys 401(k) plan.

(e) Vacation: Effective July 18, 2011, you will accrue paid vacation at the rate of five weeks per year. Maximum accrued vacation will be 160 hours, in accordance with the Companys
vacation policy.

(f) Earned Compensation: For purposes of those Paragraphs of this Agreement pertaining to termination
of the employment relationship, whether involuntary or voluntary, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no part of (i) the Annual Incentive Plan for the year in which the termination occurs, (ii) no part of any performance shares for
any multi-year period or periods in which the termination occurs and (iii) no part of any equity awards that are not vested as of the termination date will be deemed earned as of the date of termination.

4. Relocation.

(a) You agree to relocate your principal residence to temporary or permanent housing in the San Francisco Bay Area by August 31, 2011.

(b) The Company will reimburse you for the reasonable cost of moving your personal possessions from your current principal residence to a
new principal residence in the San Francisco Bay Area, and for transportation of your immediate family members to the San Francisco Bay Area.

(c) The Company will reimburse you and/or pay directly for the reasonable cost of temporary living accommodations in the San Francisco Bay Area for the period starting on the relocation of your principal
residence to the San Francisco Bay Area and ending on the earlier of (x) your establishment of a new permanent principal residence in the San Francisco Bay Area or (y) 12 months after such relocation. If a new permanent principal
residence has not been

Employment Agreement



established for good reason by the end of such 12 months, then the Board will consider potential further assistance with the cost of temporary living accommodations in the San Francisco Bay
Area for a maximum of six months, but it will in no event exceed 50% of the reasonable cost of such temporary living accommodations. To the extent such reimbursements or payments create a taxable liability, the Company will reimburse you for the
approximate amount of such tax liability, to be paid in the year such taxes are payable.

(d) The Company will reimburse you
for the direct selling costs of your home in Georgia or, at its option, employ the services of a third-party service to effect such transaction.

(e) All reimbursement under this Paragraph 4 will be made in accordance with the Companys expense reimbursement policies and procedures. Such reimbursement shall be made promptly after submission of
required documentation, but in any event, no later than the last day of the year following the year in which the expense is incurred.

5. Voluntary Termination or Death. In the event that you voluntarily resign from your employment with the Company (other than for Good Reason or Good Reason Following a Change of Control as defined
in Paragraphs 6(d) and 7(b)), or in the event that your employment terminates as a result of your death, you will be entitled to no compensation or benefits from the Company other than those earned under Paragraph 3 through the date of termination.
However, if your employment terminates as a result of your death, the Company will pay your estate the prorated portion of any short-term incentive bonus that you would have earned during the incentive bonus period in which your employment
terminates (the pro-ration shall be equal to the percentage of that bonus period that you are actually employed by the Company); such prorated bonus will be paid at the time that such incentive bonuses are paid to other Company employees. You agree
that if you voluntarily terminate your employment with the Company for any reason, you will provide the Company with at least 10 business days written notice of your resignation. The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to
make your resignation effective at any time prior to the end of such notice period, provided the Company pays you an amount equal to the base salary and benefits you would have earned through the end of the notice period.

6. Other Termination. Your employment may be terminated under the circumstances set forth below.

(a) Termination by Disability: If, by reason of any physical or mental incapacity, you have been or will be prevented from
performing your then-current duties under this Agreement with reasonable accommodation, then, to the extent permitted by law, the Company may terminate your employment without any advance notice. Upon such termination, if you sign a general release
of known and unknown claims in a form satisfactory to the Company which becomes valid and irrevocable within 60 days of your termination, and you fully comply with your obligations under Paragraphs 8, 9 and 11, the Company will provide you with the
severance payments and benefits described in Paragraph 6(c). Nothing in this paragraph shall affect your rights under any applicable Company disability plan; provided, however, that your severance payments will be offset by any disability
income payments received by you so that the total monthly severance and disability income payments during your severance period shall not exceed your then-current base salary.

(b) Termination for Cause: The Company may terminate your employment at any time for cause (as described below) without providing any notice (except to the extent expressly provided below). If your
employment is terminated by the Company for cause, you shall be entitled to no compensation or benefits from the Company other than those earned under Paragraph 3 through the date of your termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination
for cause occurs if you are terminated for any of the following reasons: (i) theft, dishonesty, misconduct or falsification of any employment or Company records; (ii) improper disclosure of the Companys confidential or
proprietary information; (iii) any action by you which has a material detrimental effect on the Companys reputation or business; (iv) your refusal or inability to perform any assigned duties (other than as a result of a disability),
after written notice from the Company to you of, and a 30-day opportunity to cure, such refusal or inability; (v) your material breach of this Agreement or of the employee proprietary information/confidentiality/assignment of inventions
agreement not otherwise described in this paragraph, after written notice from the Company to you of, and a 30-day opportunity to cure, such breach; or (vi) your conviction (including any plea of guilty or no contest) for any criminal act that
impairs your ability to perform your duties under this Agreement.

(c) Termination Without Cause: The Company may
terminate your employment without cause at any time with or without advance notice. If your employment is terminated by the Company without cause, and you sign a general release of known and unknown claims in a form satisfactory to the Company
within the applicable review period which thereupon is (or, if any revocation period is required by law, following expiration of such period becomes) valid and irrevocable within 60 days of your termination, and you fully comply with your
obligations under Paragraphs 8, 9 and 11, you will receive the following severance benefits:

(i) payments at your final base
salary rate for a period of twelve (12) months following your termination; such payments will be subject to applicable withholding and made in accordance with the Companys normal payroll practices; provided, however, that any such
payments that would have been paid in accordance with the Companys normal payroll practices before your release becomes valid and irrevocable will accumulate and be paid only if and when both (x) your release becomes valid and irrevocable
and (y) such validity and irrevocability in no event occurs more than 60 days after your termination;

(ii) payment
of the premiums necessary to continue your group health insurance under COBRA provided you have timely elected COBRA coverage until the earlier of (x) twelve (12) months following your termination date; or (y) the date you first
became eligible to participate in another employers group health insurance plan; or (z) the date on which you are no longer eligible for COBRA coverage;

(iii) the Company will pay you the prorated portion of any incentive bonus that you would have earned, if any, during the incentive bonus period in which your employment terminates (the pro-ration shall
be equal to the percentage of that bonus period that you are actually employed by the Company), and such prorated bonus will be paid to you at the time that such incentive bonuses are paid to other Company employees, or at any earlier time required
by applicable law;

(iv) with respect to any stock options or other equity-related awards granted to you by the Company, you will cease vesting upon your termination date; however, you will be entitled to purchase any vested
shares of stock that are subject to those options until the earlier of (x) twelve (12) months following your termination date, or (y) the date on which the applicable option(s) expire(s); except as set forth in this subparagraph, your
Company stock options and other equity-related awards will continue to be subject to and governed by the Plan and the applicable agreements between you and the Company; and

(v) reasonable outplacement assistance selected and paid for by the Company.

(d)
Resignation for Good Reason: If you resign from your employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined in this paragraph), and such resignation does not qualify as a resignation for Good Reason Following a Change of Control (as defined
in Paragraph 7(b), and you sign a general release of known and unknown claims in a form satisfactory to the Company within the applicable review period which thereupon is (or, if any revocation period is required by law, following expiration of
such period becomes) valid and irrevocable within 60 days of your termination, and you fully comply with your obligations under Paragraphs 8, 9 and 11, you shall receive the severance benefits described in Paragraph 6(c). For purposes of this
Paragraph, Good Reason means any of the following conditions, which condition(s) remain in effect 60 days after written notice from you to the Chairman of said condition(s):

(i) a reduction in your base salary, other than a reduction that is similarly applicable to all members of the Companys executive
staff; or

the members of the Companys executive staff; or

(iii) a material breach by the Company of any material provision of
this Agreement, after written notice from you to the Company of, and a 30-day opportunity to cure, such breach; or

(iv) the
relocation of the Companys workplace to a location that is more than 75 miles from your current Company workplace in Santa Clara, California.

The foregoing condition(s) shall not constitute Good Reason if you do not provide the Chairman with the written notice described above within 45 days after you first become aware of the
condition(s).

(e) Termination or Resignation For Good Reason Following a Change of Control: If, within 18 months
following any Change of Control (as defined below), your employment is terminated by the Company without cause, or if you resign from your employment with the Company for Good Reason Following a Change of Control (as defined below), and you sign a
general release of known and unknown claims in a form satisfactory to the Company within the applicable review period which thereupon is (or, if any revocation period is required by law, following expiration of such period becomes) valid and
irrevocable within 60 days of your

termination, and you fully comply with your obligations under Paragraphs 8, 9 and 11, you shall receive the severance benefits described in Paragraph 6(c); provided, that the time periods set
forth in subparagraphs 6(c)(i), (ii), and (iv) shall each be increased by an additional twelve (12) months. In addition, if such termination occurs, you shall receive a payment (in lieu of any payment under subparagraph 6(c)(iii))
equal to the greater of (i) the average of the annual incentive bonus payments received by you, if any, for the previous three years, or (ii) your target incentive bonus for the year in which your employment terminates. Such payment will
be made to you within 15 days following the date on which the general release of claims described above becomes irrevocable. The Company will also accelerate the vesting of all unvested stock options granted to you by the Company, and all other
then-unvested equity-related awards that vest based solely on continued employment by the Company or its affiliates (unless the terms of such other equity-related awards expressly provide that there is not to be any such acceleration).

or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (C) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or

(b) Upon your termination for any reason, and as a condition of your receipt of any severance benefits hereunder, you will promptly resign in writing from all offices and directorships then held with the
Company or any affiliate of the Company.

(c) Following the termination of your employment with the Company for any reason,
you shall fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to the winding up of pending work on behalf of the Company and the orderly transfer of work to other employees of the Company. You shall also cooperate in the defense of any action
brought by any third party against the Company.

10. Limitation of Payments and Benefits.

To the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to you (the Payments)
constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), the amount of such Payments shall be either:

(a) the full amount of the Payments, or

(b) a reduced amount that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (the Excise Tax),

whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt
by you, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefit. In the event that any Excise Tax is imposed on the Payments, you will be fully responsible for the payment of any and all Excise Tax, and the Company will not be obligated to pay all
or any portion of any Excise Tax.

11. Other Activities. In order to protect the Companys valuable proprietary
information, you agree that during your employment you will not, as a compensated or uncompensated officer, director, consultant, advisor, partner, joint venturer, investor, independent contractor, employee or otherwise, provide any labor, services,
advice or assistance to any entity or its successor involved in the design, manufacture, distribution (directly or indirectly), or integration of any digital microwave products and used in terrestrial microwave point-to-point telecommunications
networks anywhere in the world. You acknowledge and agree that the restrictions contained in the preceding sentence are reasonable and necessary. You also agree that for a period of twelve (12) months after your employment terminates, you will
not solicit any employee of the Company directly or indirectly to leave employment with the Company for any purpose, including but not limited to for purposes of providing labor, services, advice or assistance to any entity or individual. In the
event of your breach of this Paragraph, the Company shall not be obligated to provide you with any further severance payments or benefits subsequent to such breach, in addition to other remedies available under applicable laws.

12. Dispute Resolution. The parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the
parties employment relationship, or the termination of that relationship for any reason, shall be brought in the appropriate state or federal court



8

Michael Pangia

Employment Agreement



appropriate for disputes arising in Santa Clara, California, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any objection they may have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. If any one or more provisions of this Paragraph 12 shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific
intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.

13. Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. This Agreement is intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, Section 409A). However, the Company has not made and is making no representation to you relating to the tax treatment of any payment pursuant to this Agreement under Section 409A and
the corresponding provisions of any applicable State income tax laws.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, any payments or benefits due hereunder upon a termination of employment which are a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A shall only be payable or provided to you upon a separation from
service as defined for purposes of Section 409A. In addition, if you are a specified employee as determined pursuant to Section 409A as of the date of your separation from service, as so defined, and if any payments or
entitlements provided for in this Agreement constitute a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A and cannot be paid or provided in the manner provided herein without subjecting you to additional tax, interest or
penalties under Section 409A, then any such payment or entitlement which is otherwise payable during the first six months following your separation from service shall be paid or provided to you in a lump sum on the earlier of (i) the first
business day of the seventh calendar month immediately following the month in which your separation from service occurs or (ii) the date of your death. To the extent required to satisfy the provisions of the foregoing sentence with respect to
any benefit to be provided in-kind, the Company shall bill you, and you shall promptly pay, the value for tax purposes of any such benefit and the Company shall therefore promptly refund the amount so paid by you as soon as allowed by the foregoing
sentence.

For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be
treated as a right to a series of separate payments. With respect to any reimbursement of your expenses, or any provision of in-kind benefits to you, as specified under this Agreement, such reimbursement of expenses or provision of in-kind benefits
shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits
provided in any other taxable year, except for any medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code; (2) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later
than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected.

15.
Confirmation of Rights which Are not Dependent Upon Signing a Release. Whether or not you sign a release as provided in certain provisions of this Agreement, (a) you will be paid all wages due, including any unused accrued vacation, as
of your last day of work, (b) your health care coverage as a primary insured under the Companys health plan will continue through the end of the month in which your last day of work falls, (c) thereafter, you will be eligible for
continuation of health insurance at your own expense if you timely elect coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), and (d) you will receive information regarding your right to continue health
insurance under COBRA.

16. Applicable Withholding. All salary, bonus, severance and other payments identified in this
Agreement are subject to applicable withholding by the Company.

17. Assignment. In view of the personal nature of the
services to be performed under this Agreement by you, you cannot assign or transfer any of your obligations under this Agreement.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the agreements referred to above constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the terms and conditions of your employment, and they
supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements between you and the Company regarding your employment, whether written or oral. This Agreement sets forth our entire agreement regarding the Companys obligation to provide you
with severance benefits upon any termination of your employment, and you shall not be entitled to receive any other severance benefits from the Company pursuant to any Company severance plan, policy or practice.

19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of California.

20. Modification. This Agreement may only be modified or amended by a supplemental written agreement signed by you and
an authorized representative of the Board.

21. Legal Fees. The Company will reimburse you for the reasonable fees and
expenses of your attorney in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, up to a maximum of $7,500, subject to the Companys expense reimbursement policies and procedures.
