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

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):

(b)initiate, propose or otherwise “solicit” (as such term is used in the proxy rules of the SEC), directly or indirectly, Company’s stockholders for the approval of any shareholder proposal, whether made pursuant to Rule 14a-4 or Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or otherwise, or cause or encourage any Person to initiate or submit any such shareholder proposal;

(e)other than solely with other Affiliates of the JDS Group with respect to Voting Securities now or subsequently owned by them, (i) form or join (whether or not in writing) in a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group, including, without limitation, a “group” as defined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, with respect to any Voting Securities (other than any group comprised solely of Investors); (ii) deposit any Voting Securities into a voting trust, arrangement or agreement; or (iii) subject any Voting Securities to any voting trust, arrangement or agreement;

(f)(i) make any offer or proposal (with or without conditions) with respect to any merger, acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring, disposition or other business combination involving any Investor and Company; or (ii) solicit a third 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”;

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.

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.

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 and the appropriate confirmation is received; or (ii) if given by any other means, when delivered in
