Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     As contemplated by the Formation Agreement (as defined below), Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Harris”), and Harris Stratex Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Newco”), have entered into several agreements in connection with the closing of the Combination (as defined below), including, among others, an investor agreement, a non-competition agreement and a registration rights agreement.
     Investor Agreement
     The investor agreement provides, among other things, that Harris, as the sole holder of Class B common stock of Newco, will have the right to elect separately as a class a number of directors (“Class B Directors”) equal to its proportionate ownership of Newco common stock (rounding down to the next whole number of Class B Directors) and further provides that, so long as Harris holds a majority of the outstanding common stock of Newco, the number of directors of Newco will be nine (9), five (5) of which will be Class B Directors. As an initial matter, Harris has appointed Howard L. Lance, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Harris, Guy M. Campbell, the former President of Harris’ Microwave Communications Division, Eric C. Evans, Dr. Mohsen Sohi and James C. Stoffel, who also serves as a director of Harris, as Class B Directors. Harris has agreed that for two (2) years following the consummation of the Combination, one Class B Director will be required to meet the independence requirements of Rule 4350(d)(2)(A) of the rules promulgated by the NASDAQ Stock Market applicable to those persons listed on the NASDAQ Global Market (the “NASDAQ Rules”) and one Class B Director will not be an employee of Harris. The remaining four (4) initial directors of Newco were appointed by Stratex and include Charles D. Kissner, the former Chairman of Stratex, William A. Hasler, a former director of Stratex, Clifford H. Higgerson, a former director of Stratex, and Edward F. Thompson, a former director of Stratex.
     The investor agreement also includes agreements between Harris and Newco addressing Harris’ ability to purchase or dispose of shares of Newco common stock, including the agreement by Harris that, for two years following the consummation of the Combination, it will not acquire any additional shares of Newco common stock or dispose of any of its interest in Newco, other than pursuant to pre-emptive rights set forth in the investor agreement or unless approved in advance by a majority of the directors of Newco not nominated by Harris. In addition, the investor agreement also includes provisions addressing related party transactions and duties relating to corporate opportunities.
     Non-Competition Agreement
     The non-competition agreement provides, among other things, that for five (5) years after the consummation of the Combination, Harris will not develop, manufacture, distribute or sell any microwave radio systems and related components, systems and services (i) that compete with the identified products of Newco, or (ii) that are substantially similar to such products in form, fit and function when used in terrestrial microwave point-to-point communications networks that provide access and trunking of voice and data for telecommunications networks. This restriction does not apply to the development, manufacture, distribution or sale of microwave radios or related components, systems or services to government entities or resales of non-Harris-branded equipment.
     Registration Rights Agreement
     The registration rights agreement provides that Newco will register shares of Newco common stock held by Harris under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions stated therein.
     The foregoing descriptions of the investor agreement, the non-competition agreement and the registration rights agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each of the investor agreement, non-competition agreement and registration rights agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3 hereto and incorporated into this Item 1.01 of this report by reference.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
     On January 26, 2006, Harris, Newco and Stratex Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Stratex”), completed the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Formation, Contribution and

-1-


 

Merger Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2006 (the “Formation Agreement”), among Harris, Stratex, Newco, and Stratex Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”).
     In accordance with the Formation Agreement, (i) Harris contributed the assets comprising its Microwave Communications Division (“MCD”) and $32.1 million in cash to Newco and, following the allocation (as appropriate and reasonably practicable) by Harris of its liabilities between MCD and its other businesses and divisions, Newco assumed those liabilities primarily resulting from or primarily arising out of MCD, other than certain specified liabilities (the “Contribution”), and (ii) Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Newco, merged with and into Stratex with Stratex surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Newco (the “Merger”). The Contribution and the Merger are herein collectively referred to as the “Combination”.
     In connection with the Combination, (i) each outstanding share of Stratex common stock, par value $0.01 per share, was automatically converted into one-fourth of a share of Newco Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) in connection with the conversion of the Stratex common stock, Newco issued approximately 24,733,114 shares of Newco’s Class A common stock, with cash to be issued to former holders of Stratex common stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Newco Class A common stock to which they would otherwise be entitled, and (iii) Newco issued to Harris a total of 32,850,965 shares of Newco Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As provided in the Formation Agreement, the shares of Newco Class B common stock issued to Harris in connection with the Contribution equal approximately 56% of the outstanding shares of Newco common stock immediately following the consummation of the Combination applying the treasury stock method assuming, solely for this purpose, a fair market value per share of Newco Class A common stock of $20.80 (which is equivalent to $5.20 per share of Stratex common stock prior to the one-for-four exchange effected by the Merger).
     The foregoing description of the Combination, the Contribution and the Formation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Formation Agreement, including the exhibits thereto, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated into this report by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     In connection with the Combination, Guy Campbell, the former president of the Microwave Communications Division of Harris was appointed the president and chief executive officer of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. Because of this transition, Mr. Campbell will no longer be a named executive officer of Harris as contemplated by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

If the Closing proceeds without the Transfer of any Contributed Asset because Harris was not able to make or obtain any Governmental Authorization other than a Required Governmental Authorization or any consent, approval, authorization, license or waiver from a non-Government Entity other than a Harris Required Third Party Consent, then the parties shall cooperate with each other and use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Governmental Authorization or consent, approval, authorization, license or waiver and effect such Transfer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to require any party to pay any consideration therefor other than filing, recordation or similar fees which shall be paid by Newco. Until such Governmental Authorization or consent, approval, authorization, license or waiver is obtained, Newco and Harris shall enter into such arrangements (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the parties hereto the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent, to the extent permitted, of effecting such Transfer.

To the extent the Subsidiary Cash includes amounts in currencies other than U.S. dollars, such amounts shall be deemed to have been converted into U.S. dollars for the purpose of determining whether there is Excess Cash or a Cash Shortfall using the relevant exchange rate prevailing as of the Closing Date.

A-19


 

      (b) Harris shall complete its review of the Cash Statement within 15 days after the date on which it received the Cash Statement. If Harris does not agree with the Cash Statement prepared by Newco, then on or before the last day of such 15-day period Harris shall inform Newco in writing of its objections to the Cash Statement (collectively, the “Harris Objections”), setting forth such objections in reasonable detail and Harris’ proposed adjustments thereto. If no Harris Objections are received by Newco on or before the last day of such 15-day period, then the Excess Cash or Cash Shortfall reflected on the Cash Statement delivered by Newco pursuant to Section 3.8(a) shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Newco shall have 15 days after the date on which it receives the Harris Objections to review and respond to the Harris Objections.
      (c) If Harris and Newco are unable to resolve all of their disagreements as to the amount of the Excess Cash or Cash Shortfall set forth in the Harris Objections within 15 days after the end of Newco’s 15-day review period, then each party may refer any remaining disagreements to an independent certified public accountant to be agreed upon in good faith by Harris and Newco (the “CPA Firm”) which shall determine in accordance with this Section 3.8, and only with respect to the remaining disagreements so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Excess Cash or Cash Shortfall, requires adjustment. Harris and Newco shall instruct the CPA Firm to deliver its written determination to Harris and Newco no later than 15 days after the remaining disagreements with respect to the Harris Objections that are referred to the CPA Firm. The CPA Firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Harris and Newco and their Affiliates. The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be borne equally by Harris and Newco. Harris and Newco shall make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records relating to the Excess Cash, the Cash Shortfall, the Cash Statement and the Harris Objections and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm in connection therewith.
      (d) No amounts shall be paid by any party in the event Harris and Newco determine that the Aggregate Target Cash equals the Subsidiary Amount. In the event there is Excess Cash, Newco shall have a liability to Harris equal to the amount of the Excess Cash, and Newco shall pay to Harris the Excess Cash together with interest thereon from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the payment date at the rate of 5% per annum, such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to such account as Harris shall designate in writing to Newco no later than five Business Days after the date on which the Excess Cash is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.8. In the event there is a Cash Shortfall, Harris shall have a liability to Newco equal to the amount of the Cash Shortfall, and Harris shall pay to Newco the Cash Shortfall together with interest thereon from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the payment date at the rate of 5% per annum, such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to such account as Newco shall designate in writing to Harris no later than five Business Days after the date on which the Cash Shortfall is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.8. Notwithstanding anything else contaend in this Section 3.8, no interest shall be due in respect of any liability, or portion thereof, owed by one party to the other pursuant to this Section 3.8 to the extent that such liability, or portion thereof, represents interest on funds originating in a location where it is unlawful to earn such interest.
      (e) Following any payment by either Harris or Newco pursuant to this Section 3.8, under no circumstance shall the sum of (i) the Cash Contribution, (ii) the Subsidiary Cash and (iii) the Cash Shortfall (treated as a positive number) or the Excess Cash (treated as a negative number), as the case may be, exceed $32.1 million.
      3.9.     Target Cash.
      (a) Prior to the Closing, Harris and Stratex shall agree in good faith the amount of cash (determined in the domestic currency of such Contributed Subsidiary) appropriate for the ordinary course operations of each Contributed Subsidiary (with respect to each Contributed Subsidiary, its “Target Cash”). The sum of the Target Cash for each Contributed Subsidiary is collectively referred to herein as the “Aggregate Target Cash”.
      (b) To the extent the Target Cash of a Contributed Subsidiary is denominated in a currency (or currencies) other than U.S. dollars, such amounts shall be deemed to have been converted into

A-20


 

U.S. dollars for the purpose of determining the Aggregate Target Cash and the Cash Contribution and using the relevant exchange rate prevailing as of the Closing Date.

consideration therefor (except to the extent that such cancellation of any Stratex Excluded Shares held by Newco, Stratex or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries would result in U.S. federal income tax to Newco, Stratex or any of such Subsidiaries, in which case such Stratex Excluded Shares shall not be considered “Stratex Excluded Shares” for any purpose under this Agreement).
      (c) Treatment of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of Merger Sub Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and each certificate which previously represented any shares of Merger Sub Stock shall thereafter be deemed to represent the same number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

At the Effective Time, Newco shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent selected by Harris with Stratex’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Stratex Common Stock, one or more certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable as Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger (collectively, the “Class A Merger Shares”) and any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 6.2(i). In addition, from time to time after the Effective Time, Newco will deposit with the Exchange Agent any dividends or other distributions with respect to the Class A Merger Shares to be paid or issued pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6.2(c) upon due surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 6.2(h)) pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE VI. The certificate(s) representing Class A Merger Shares, together with the amount of cash payable pursuant to Section 6.2(i) in lieu of fractional shares and dividends or other distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 6.2(a), are referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.
      (b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions acceptable to Harris) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing the same number of Class A Merger Shares and any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 6.2(i) and any dividends or other distributions to be paid or issued pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6.2(c). Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent with a duly executed copy of such letter of transmittal and compliance with all such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) one or more certificates representing the number of Class A Merger Shares equal to one-fourth of the number of shares of Stratex Common Stock represented by such Certificate (rounded down to the next full number of such shares), (B) a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings as provided in Section 6.2(g)) of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 6.2(i) plus any cash dividends and distributions such holder is entitled to receive upon such surrender pursuant to Section 6.2(c), and (C) any non-cash dividends or distributions such holder is entitled to receive upon such surrender, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. If the issuance of a certificate representing Class A Merger Shares or any dividends or distributions is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent to such payment that (x) the Certificate so surrendered be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that all transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Certificate have been paid or are not required to be paid.

(i) All Class A Merger Shares shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Newco in respect of the Class A Common Stock with a record date at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all Class A Merger Shares. No such dividends or other distributions in respect of the Class A Merger Shares shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until such Certificate is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this ARTICLE VI. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid and/or issued to the holder of the Class A Merger Shares issued in exchange therefor, in each case without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date prior to the date of such surrender with respect to such Class A Merger Shares and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Class A Merger Shares with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment or delivery date subsequent to surrender.
      (ii) At any meeting of Newco’s stockholders after the Effective Time, holders of unsurrendered Certificates shall be entitled to vote the number of shares of Class A Merger Shares represented by such Certificates, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their Certificates.

Each of the Surviving Corporation and Newco shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable or deliverable pursuant to this ARTICLE VI to any holder of Certificates such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Newco, as the case may be, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of shares of Stratex Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
      (h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person (who is the record holder of such Certificate) claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Newco, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Newco as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, a certificate representing the Class A Merger Shares and any dividends or other distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.
      (i) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional share of Class A Common Stock will be issued and any holder of Stratex Common Stock that would be entitled to

A-23


 

receive a fractional share of Class A Common Stock in the absence of this Section 6.2(i) shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof, which payment shall be calculated by the Exchange Agent and shall represent such holder’s proportionate interest in a share of Class A Common Stock assuming the price of such a share was equal to four (4) times the average of the closing prices per share of Stratex Common Stock on NASDAQ for the five (5) trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the Closing Date.

Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Stratex Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Stratex Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.
      (b) Stratex Awards. At the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive shares of Stratex Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of shares of Stratex Common Stock and each award of any kind consisting of shares of Stratex Common Stock that may be held, awarded, outstanding, payable or reserved for issuance under the Stratex Stock Plans and any other Stratex Benefits Plan, in each case other than Stratex Options (each, a “Stratex Award”), shall be converted into the right to acquire, or the right to receive benefits measured by the value of, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to one-fourth of the number of shares of Stratex Common Stock underlying such Stratex Award (rounded down to the nearest whole number) immediately prior to such conversion, and if such Stratex Award determines such rights by reference to the extent the value of the shares of Stratex Common Stock exceed a specified reference price, at a reference price per share of Class A Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to four (4) times the reference price per share of Stratex Common Stock. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Stratex Award shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the rights under the relevant Stratex Stock Plan or other Stratex Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time.
      (c) Registration. If, in connection with the satisfaction of the obligations set forth in Section 6.4(a) and Section 6.4(b), registration of any interests in the Stratex Stock Plans or other Stratex Benefit Plans or the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b) is required under the Securities Act, Newco shall file with the SEC as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to such interests or Class A Common Stock, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the Stratex Stock Plans or other Stratex Benefit Plans, as applicable, remain in effect and such registration of interests therein or the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable thereunder continues to be required. As soon as practicable after the registration of such interests or shares, as applicable, Newco shall deliver to the holders of Stratex Options and Stratex Awards appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the respective Stratex Stock Plans and agreements evidencing the grants of such

ARTICLE VII
Representations and Warranties
      7.1.     Representations and Warranties of Stratex. Except as set forth in the disclosure letter (subject to Section 13.11(c)) dated as of the Original Formation Agreement Date and delivered to Harris by Stratex prior to entering into the Original Formation Agreement and identified as such (the “Stratex Disclosure Letter”), Stratex hereby represents and warrants to Harris on the Original Formation Agreement Date that:
      (a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of Stratex and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States) and has all requisite corporate or other legal entity power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each jurisdiction where such ownership, operation or conduct requires such qualification (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States), except for any such failures to be so organized, qualified or in good standing or to have such power or authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Stratex Material Adverse Effect. Stratex has made available to Harris a complete and correct copy of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other comparable governing instruments) of Stratex and each of its Subsidiaries, each as amended to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, and each certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or other comparable governing instruments) so delivered is in full force and effect. Stratex is in compliance with the terms of its certificate of incorporation as amended through the date of the Original Formation Agreement (the “Stratex Certificate”) and its bylaws as amended through

A-25


 

the date of the Original Formation Agreement (the “Stratex Bylaws” and, collectively with the Stratex Certificate, the “Stratex Governing Instruments”).
      (b) Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of Stratex consists solely of 150,000,000 shares of Stratex Common Stock, of which 97,690,241 shares were issued and outstanding as of the close of business on September 1, 2006, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock of Stratex, par value $0.01 per share (“Stratex Preferred Stock”), of which no shares were issued or outstanding as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement. Since September 1, 2006, Stratex has not issued any shares of Stratex Common Stock. All of the outstanding shares of Stratex Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. Stratex has no shares of Stratex Common Stock or Stratex Preferred Stock reserved for issuance other than (i) 15,530,000 shares of Stratex Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to those plans of Stratex identified in Section 7.1(b) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter (the “Stratex Stock Plans”), (ii) 200,000 shares of Stratex Preferred Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of November 3, 1998 (the “Rights Agreement”) between Stratex and Mellon Shareholder Services, LLC (formerly ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, LLC), and (iii) 2,581,780 shares of Stratex Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of warrants for shares of Stratex Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.95 per share. The Rights Agreement has expired and no longer has any legal force or effect, and Stratex has not entered into or adopted or implemented any other shareholder rights or similar plan. Section 7.1(b) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter contains a correct and complete list of each outstanding option, restricted stock grant or other right under the Stratex Stock Plans, including the holder, date of grant, term, number of shares of Stratex Common Stock and, where applicable, exercise price and vesting schedule, as well as whether the vesting will be accelerated by the execution of this Agreement or consummation of the Transactions or by termination of employment or change of position following consummation of the Merger. Each of the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interest in, each of Stratex’s Subsidiaries is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and is owned by Stratex or by a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Stratex, free and clear of any Encumbrance. Except as described above in this Section 7.1(b), there are no preemptive or other options, warrants, rights, conversion rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, calls, stock-based performance units, commitments, Contracts, agreements, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound (i) obligating Stratex or any such Subsidiary to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, shares of capital stock or other equity interests in, or any security convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any capital stock of or other equity interest in, Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or any Voting Debt, (ii) obligating Stratex or any such Subsidiary to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, security, commitment, Contract, arrangement or undertaking or (iii) that give any Person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar to or derived from the economic benefits and rights occurring to holders of shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, or any security convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any capital stock of, or other equity interest in, Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or any Voting Debt, and no such obligations, instruments or securities are authorized, issued or outstanding. There are no voting trusts or other arrangements or understandings to which Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the voting, the dividend rights or disposition of any capital stock of, or other equity interest in, Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries. Stratex does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or are convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of Stratex on any matter (“Voting Debt”). Each Stratex Option (i) was granted in compliance with all applicable Laws and all of the terms and conditions of the Stratex Stock Plan pursuant to which it was issued, (ii) has an exercise price per share of Stratex Common Stock equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of Stratex Common Stock on the date of such grant, (iii) has a grant date identical to the date on which the Stratex Board or its compensation committee actually awarded such Stratex Option and (iv) qualifies for the tax and accounting treatment afforded to such Stratex Option in Stratex’s tax returns and the financial statements included in the Stratex Reports, respectively. Stratex does not own, directly or indirectly, any voting interest that may

A-26


 

require a filing by Newco, Harris or any of their Subsidiaries under the HSR Act. Exhibit 21.1 to Stratex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, sets forth all of the Subsidiaries of Stratex as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement.
      (c) Corporate Authority; Approval and Fairness. (i) Stratex has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions to which it is a party (collectively, the “Stratex Transactions”), in each case subject only to adoption of this Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stratex Common Stock (the “Stratex Requisite Vote”). This Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of Stratex enforceable against Stratex in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).
      (ii) At a meeting duly called and held prior to execution of this Agreement, the Stratex Board unanimously adopted resolutions (A) approving, adopting and declaring advisable this Agreement and the Transactions and determining that the terms of the Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, Stratex and the holders of Stratex Common Stock (collectively, the “Board Approval”) and (B) recommending that the holders of Stratex Common Stock vote to adopt this Agreement (the “Board Recommendation”). Such resolutions are sufficient to cause Section 203 of the DGCL not to apply to any of Harris, Newco or Merger Sub with respect to any of the Transactions or any other transaction following the Closing.
      (iii) The Stratex Board has received the written opinion of its financial advisor, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. (“Bear Stearns”), dated as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, to the effect that, on the basis of and subject to the matters set forth therein and assuming the simultaneous consummation of the Contribution Transaction, as of such date the exchange of one share of Class A Common Stock for four (4) outstanding shares of Stratex Common Stock in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Stratex Common Stock. A signed copy of such opinion has been delivered to Harris.
      (d) Governmental Filings; No Violations; Consents; and Approvals.
      (i) Other than the filings or notices (A) pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.3 and Section 3.4, (B) required under the HSR Act or (C) required to be made under the Exchange Act or with NASDAQ, no Governmental Authorizations are required to be obtained or made by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Stratex or the consummation by Stratex of the Stratex Transactions.
      (ii) The execution, delivery and performance by Stratex of this Agreement do not, and the consummation by Stratex of the Stratex Transactions do not and will not, constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the Stratex Governing Documents or the comparable governing instruments of any of its Subsidiaries, (B) a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) or a default under or the acceleration of any obligations or the creation of any Encumbrance on the assets of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) pursuant to, any Contract binding upon Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or, assuming that the necessary consents, approvals and filings referred to in clauses (A) through (C) of Section 7.1(d)(i) are duly obtained and/or made, any Laws, Governmental Authorizations or non governmental permit or license to which Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries is subject or (C) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any such Contracts, Governmental Authorizations, permits or licenses, except, in the case of the foregoing clauses (B) or (C) only, for any breach, violation, termination, default, acceleration, change or creation that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Stratex Material Adverse Effect. Section 7.1(d) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list of Stratex Material Contracts pursuant to which consents or waivers are or may be required prior to consummation of the Transactions (whether or not subject to the exception set forth with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above).

A-27


 

      (iii) Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) above, neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Stratex nor the consummation by Stratex of the Stratex Transactions will require the receipt of any consent pursuant to, or give rise to any right of termination under, any of the Stratex Material Contracts except for any such consents and any such termination rights which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Stratex Material Adverse Effect if not obtained (in the case of such consents) or if exercised (in the case of such termination rights).
      (iv) Section 7.1(d) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list of all material claims held by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, as creditors or claimants, with respect to debtors or debtors-in-possession subject to proceedings under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), together with a correct and complete list of all orders entered by the applicable United States Bankruptcy Court with respect to each such proceeding. None of such orders, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Stratex Material Adverse Effect.
      (e) Stratex Reports; Financial Statements. (i) Stratex has made available to Harris each registration statement, report, form, proxy or information statement or other document filed or furnished by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries with or to the SEC since March 31, 2006 (the “Stratex Audit Date”), including Stratex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006, each in the form (including exhibits, annexes and any amendments thereto) filed with the SEC (collectively with each other, any such registration statements, reports, forms, proxy or information statements or other documents so filed or furnished subsequent to the date of the Original Formation Agreement and any amendments to any of the foregoing, the “Stratex Reports”). Stratex and its Subsidiaries have filed or furnished, as applicable, with or to the SEC all registration statements, reports, forms, proxy or information statements and other documents required to be so filed or furnished by them pursuant to applicable securities statutes, regulations, policies and rules since the Stratex Audit Date. Each of the Stratex Reports, at the time first filed with or furnished to the SEC, complied or will comply (as applicable) in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and complied in all material respects with the then applicable accounting standards. As of their respective dates, the Stratex Reports did not, and any Stratex Reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of the Original Formation Agreement will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Stratex Reports included or will include all certificates required to be included therein pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the SOX Act, and the internal control report and attestation of Stratex’s outside auditors required by Section 404 of the SOX Act.
      (ii) Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Stratex Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents or, in the case of Stratex Reports filed or furnished after the date of the Original Formation Agreement, will fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Stratex and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Stratex Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents or, in the case of Stratex Reports filed or furnished after the date of the Original Formation Agreement, will fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows, respectively, of Stratex and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and normal year-end audit adjustments that will not be material in amount or effect), in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein.
      (iii) Stratex is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the SOX Act and the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of NASDAQ.
      (iv) The management of Stratex has (A) designed and implemented disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) which management reasonably believes

A-28


 

will ensure that material information relating to Stratex, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the management of Stratex by others within those entities and (B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation, to Stratex’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Stratex Board (1) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Stratex’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and (2) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Stratex’s internal controls over financial reporting. Stratex has made available to Harris a summary of any such disclosure made by management since March 31, 2004. Since the Stratex Audit Date, any material change in internal controls over financial reporting required to be disclosed in any Stratex Report has been so disclosed.
      (v) Since the date of their last certification filed with the SEC, neither the chief executive officer nor the chief financial officer of Stratex has become aware of any fact, circumstance or change that is or is reasonably likely to result in a “significant deficiency” or a “material weakness” in Stratex’s internal controls over financial reporting, other than as disclosed in the Stratex Reports filed prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement.
      (vi) Since March 31, 2003, (A) neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of Stratex, any director, officer, employee, auditor, accountant or representative of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, has received or otherwise had or obtained Knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices and (B) no attorney representing Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a material violation of the securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by Stratex or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to the Stratex Board or any committee thereof or, to the Knowledge of any officer of Stratex, to any director or officer of Stratex.
      (vii) Since March 31, 2004, each registration statement of Stratex (including exhibits, annexes and any amendments or supplements thereto) filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, as of the date such registration statement or amendment became effective, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein not misleading.
      (f) Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Stratex for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the registration statement on Form S-4 of Newco (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Registration Statement”), pursuant to which the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger will be registered with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, or the proxy statement/ prospectus (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement/ Prospectus”) included in the Registration Statement which is to be sent to the stockholders of Stratex in connection with the Stratex Stockholder Meeting shall (i) in the case of the Registration Statement, at the time it is filed with the SEC or at the time it is declared effective by the SEC, or becomes effective, or (ii) in the case of the Proxy Statement, at the time it is mailed to the stockholders of Stratex or at the time of the Stratex Stockholder Meeting contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus only, in light of the circumstances under which they are made).
      (g) Absence of Certain Changes. Since the Stratex Audit Date, Stratex and its Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses only in, and have not engaged in any material transaction other than in accordance with, the ordinary course of such businesses. Since the Stratex Audit Date and on or prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, there has not been any event, occurrence, discovery or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a

A-29


 

Stratex Material Adverse Effect. On or after the Stratex Audit Date and on or prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, none of the actions or events described in clauses (a) through (w) of Section 8.1 has been taken or has occurred.
      (h)     Litigation and Liabilities. (i) There are no civil, criminal or administrative actions, suits, demands, claims, hearings, litigations, arbitrations, investigations or other proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Stratex, threatened against Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates by, before or with any Government Entity or any other Person. None of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is a party to, or subject to the provisions of, any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any Government Entity.
      (ii) There are no liabilities or obligations of Stratex or any Subsidiary of Stratex, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not required to be disclosed, or any other facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any obligations or liabilities of, Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, other than those:
        (A) reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of Stratex or readily apparent in the notes thereto, in each case included in Stratex’s annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended March 31, 2006 (but only to the extent so reflected or readily apparent);
 
        (B) incurred in the ordinary course of business since March 31, 2006;
 
        (C) required to be performed after the date of the Original Formation Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Contracts listed in Section 7.1(d) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter or applicable Law; or
 
        (D) that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had since the Stratex Audit Date, and would not reasonably be expected to result in, a Stratex Material Adverse Effect.
      (i)     Employee Benefits.
      (i) All benefit and compensation plans, contracts, policies or arrangements covering current or former employees of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries and current or former directors of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, including any “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, and any deferred compensation, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation rights, stock based, incentive, bonus, workers’ compensation, short term disability, vacation and severance plans and all employment, severance and change in control agreements, and all amendments thereto (the “Stratex Benefit Plans”) are listed in Section 7.1(i)(i) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter, and each Stratex Benefit Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, including any master or prototype plan, has been separately identified. True and complete copies of all Stratex Benefit Plans listed in Section 7.1(i)(i) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter, including any trust instruments, insurance contracts and, with respect to any employee stock ownership plan, loan agreements forming a part of any Stratex Benefit Plans, and all amendments thereto have been provided or made available to Harris.
      (ii) No Stratex Benefit Plan is a “multi-employer plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA (a “Multi-Employer Plan”). All Stratex Benefit Plans are in substantial compliance with ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws. Each Stratex Benefit Plan which is subject to ERISA (the “Stratex ERISA Plans”) that is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Stratex Pension Plan”) and that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for all Tax Law changes prior to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 or has applied to the IRS for such favorable determination letter within the applicable remedial amendment period under Section 401(b) of the Code, and Stratex is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in the loss of the qualification of such Stratex Pension Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. Any voluntary employees’ beneficiary association within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code which provides benefits under a Stratex Benefit Plan has (A) received an opinion letter from the IRS recognizing its exempt status under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code and (B) filed a timely notice with the IRS pursuant

A-30


 

to Section 505(c) of the Code, and Stratex is not aware of circumstances likely to result in the loss of such exempt status under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Stratex ERISA Plan that, assuming the Taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, would subject Stratex or any Subsidiary to a Tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount that would be material. Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred or reasonably expects to incur a Tax or penalty imposed by Section 4980F of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA or any Liability under Section 4071 of ERISA.
      (iii) No Liability under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated “single-employer plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or the single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one employer with Stratex under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code (a “Stratex ERISA Affiliate”). No notice of a “reportable event”, within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30 day reporting requirement has not been waived or extended, other than pursuant to Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) Reg. Section 4043.66, has been required to be filed for any Stratex Pension Plan or by any Stratex ERISA Affiliate within the 12 month period ending on the date of the Original Merger Agreement or will be required to be filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No notices have been required to be sent to participants and beneficiaries or the PBGC under Section 302 or 4011 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code.
      (iv) All contributions required to be made under each Stratex Benefit Plan, as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, have been timely made and all obligations in respect of each Stratex Benefit Plan have been properly accrued and reflected in the most recent consolidated balance sheet filed or incorporated by reference in the Stratex Reports prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement. Neither any Stratex Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of a Stratex ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and neither Stratex nor any Stratex ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. It is not reasonably anticipated that required minimum contributions to any Stratex Pension Plan under Section 412 of the Code will be materially increased by application of Section 412(l) of the Code. Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has provided, or is required to provide, security to any Stratex Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of a Stratex ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.
      (v) Under each Stratex Pension Plan which is a single-employer plan, as of the last day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, the actuarially determined present value of all “benefit liabilities”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in such Stratex Pension Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Stratex Pension Plan, and there has been no material change in the financial condition of such Stratex Pension Plan since the last day of the most recent plan year.
      (vi) Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations for retiree health and life benefits under any Stratex Benefit Plan or collective bargaining agreement. Stratex or its Subsidiaries may amend or terminate any Stratex Benefit Plan providing retiree health or life benefits at any time without incurring any Liability thereunder other than in respect of claims incurred prior to such amendment or termination.
      (vii) There has been no amendment to, or announcement by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Stratex Benefit Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such Stratex Benefit Plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent fiscal year. Neither the execution of this Agreement, stockholder adoption of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will (A) entitle any employees of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or benefits or any increase in severance pay or benefits upon any termination of employment after the date of the Original Formation Agreement, (B) accelerate

A-31


 

the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or result in any other obligation pursuant to, any of the Stratex Benefit Plans, (C) limit or restrict the right of Stratex or, after the consummation of the Transactions, Newco to merge, amend or terminate any of the Stratex Benefit Plans or (D) result in payments under any of the Stratex Benefit Plans which would not be deductible under Section 162(m) or Section 280G of the Code. None of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any contract, agreement or arrangement with any officer or director of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with or in contemplation of any of the Transactions.
      (viii) There are no outstanding loans to any employee of Stratex from Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries other than claims any such employee may have under a Stratex Benefit Plan covering such employee of Stratex. As of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, there is no pending, or the Knowledge of Stratex, threatened investigations or other proceedings by or with any Government Entity or litigation relating to the Stratex Benefit Plans.
      (j)     Compliance with Laws and Regulations; Governmental Authorizations. The businesses of each of Stratex and each of its Subsidiaries have not been, and are not being, conducted in material violation of any applicable Law. To the Knowledge of Stratex, no material change is required in Stratex’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ processes, properties or procedures for them to continue to comply with such Laws, and Stratex has not received any notice or communication of any material noncompliance with any such Laws that has not been cured as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement. Stratex and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained and are in substantial compliance with all material Governmental Authorizations required or necessary for the conduct of their businesses and the use of their properties and assets as presently conducted and used, and neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice from any Government Entity of any material noncompliance with any such Governmental Authorizations that has not been cured as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement.

      (iii) Harris is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the SOX Act to the extent that such compliance will affect Newco’s ability to comply with the provisions of the SOX Act following the Closing.
      (iv) The management of Harris has (a) designed and implemented disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) which management reasonably believes will ensure that material information relating to the MCD Business is made known to the management of Harris by others within Harris and (b) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation, to Harris’ outside auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Harris (A) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Harris’ ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data with respect to the MCD Business and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management of the MCD Business or other employees who have a significant role in Harris’ internal controls over financial reporting to the extent such controls relate to the MCD Business. Harris has made available to Stratex a summary of any such disclosure made by management since July 2, 2004. Since the Harris Audit Date, any material change in internal controls over financial reporting to the extent they relate to the MCD Business required to be disclosed in any Harris Report has been so disclosed.
      (v) Since the date of their last certification filed with the SEC, neither the chief executive officer nor the chief financial officer of Harris has become aware of any fact, circumstance or change that is or is reasonably likely to result in a “significant deficiency” or a “material weakness” in Harris’ internal controls over financial reporting to the extent they relate to the MCD Business.

      (g) Absence of Certain Changes. Since June 30, 2006, Harris and its Subsidiaries have conducted the MCD Business only in, and have not engaged in any material transaction other than in accordance with, the ordinary course of business. Since June 30, 2006 and on or prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, there has not been any event, occurrence, discovery or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have, a Harris Material Adverse Effect. On or after June 30, 2006 and on or prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, none of the actions or events described in clauses (a) through (q) of Section 8.2 has been taken or has occurred; provided, however, that Harris has approved and intends to complete the Harris Restructuring prior to the Closing.
      (h) Litigation and Liabilities. (i) There are no civil, criminal or administrative actions, suits, demands, claims, hearings, litigations, arbitrations, investigations or other proceedings pending, or to the Knowledge of Harris, threatened against Harris or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to the MCD Business, the Contribution Transaction or the other Transactions by, before or with any Government Entity or any other Person. None of Harris or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is a party to, or subject to the provisions of, any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any Government Entity relating to the Contributed Assets, the MCD Business or the Transactions.
      (ii) There are no liabilities or obligations of Harris or any Subsidiary of Harris relating to the Contributed Assets, the MCD Business or the Transactions, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not required to be disclosed, or any other facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any obligations or liabilities of, Harris or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Contributed Assets, the MCD Business or the Transactions, other than those:
        (A) reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of Harris or readily apparent in the notes thereto, in each case included in the Audited Financial Statements (but only to the extent so reflected or readily apparent);
 
        (B) incurred in the ordinary course of business since June 30, 2006;

A-41


 

        (C) required to be performed after the date of the Original Formation Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Contracts listed in Section 7.2(d) of the Harris Disclosure Letter or applicable Law; or
 
        (D) that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had since June 30, 2006, and would not reasonably be expected to result in, a Harris Material Adverse Effect.
      (i) Employee Benefits.
      (i) All benefit and compensation plans, contracts, policies or arrangements covering the MCD Employees, including any “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, any deferred compensation, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation rights, stock based, incentive, bonus, workers’ compensation, short term disability, vacation and severance plans and all employment, severance and change in control agreements, and all amendments thereto (the “MCD Employee Benefit Plans”), are listed in Section 7.2(i)(i) of the Harris Disclosure Letter, and each MCD Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, including any master or prototype plan, has been separately identified. True and complete copies of all MCD Employee Benefit Plans listed in Section 7.2(i)(i) of the Harris Disclosure Letter, including any trust instruments and insurance contracts and all amendments thereto, have been provided or made available to Stratex.
      (ii) No MCD Employee Benefit Plan is a Multi-Employer Plan. All MCD Employee Benefit Plans covering MCD Employees are in substantial compliance with ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws, except to the extent failure to comply would not cause any Liability to Newco. Each MCD Employee Benefit Plan which is subject to ERISA (the “MCD Employee ERISA Plans”) that is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “MCD Employee Pension Plan”) and that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS for all Tax Law changes prior to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 or has applied to the IRS for such favorable determination letter within the applicable remedial amendment period under Section 401(b) of the Code, and Harris is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in the loss of the qualification of such Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. Any voluntary employees’ beneficiary association within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code which provides benefits under a MCD Employee Benefit Plan has (A) received an opinion letter from the IRS recognizing its exempt status under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code and (B) filed a timely notice with the IRS pursuant to Section 505(c) of the Code, and Harris is not aware of circumstances likely to result in the loss of its exempt status under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Neither Harris nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any MCD Employee ERISA Plan that, assuming the Taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, would subject Newco to a Tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount that would be material.
      (iii) No Liability under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Harris or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any terminated “single-employer plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, formerly maintained by any of them, or the terminated single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one employer with Harris under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code (a “Harris ERISA Affiliate”).
      (iv) All contributions required to be made with respect to any MCD Employees under each MCD Employee Benefit Plan, as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, have been timely made and all obligations in respect of each MCD Employee Benefit Plan have been properly accrued and reflected in the Audited Financial Statements. Neither Harris nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any Harris ERISA Affiliate maintains as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement a single-employer plan within the meaning of 4001(a)(15) of ERISA or any plan subject to the requirements of Section 412 of the Code.
      (v) Neither Harris nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations for retiree health and life benefits under any MCD Employee Benefit Plan.

A-42


 

      (vi) There has been no amendment to, or announcement by Harris or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of the MCD Employees relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any MCD Employee Benefit Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such MCD Employee Benefit Plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent fiscal year. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will (A) entitle any MCD Employees to severance pay or benefits or any increase in severance pay or benefits upon any termination of employment after the date of the Original Formation Agreement or (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or result in any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the MCD Employee Benefit Plans to any MCD Employees. None of Harris or any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any contract, agreement or arrangement with any MCD Employee in connection with or in contemplation of any of the Transactions.
      (vii) Section 7.2(i)(vii) of the Harris Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all MCD Employees on September 1, 2006, identifying as to each a job title, years of service and location of employment.
      (viii) There are no outstanding loans to any MCD Employee from any Contributed Subsidiary other than claims any MCD Employee may have under an MCD Employee Benefit Plan covering such MCD Employee. As of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, there is no pending, or to the Knowledge of Harris, threatened investigations or other proceedings by or with any Government Entity or litigation relating to the MCD Employee Benefit Plans.
      (j) Compliance with Laws and Regulations; Governmental Authorizations. The MCD Business has not been, and is not being, conducted in material violation of any applicable Laws. To the Knowledge of Harris, no material change is required in the processes, properties or procedures Related to the MCD Business for them to continue to comply with such Laws, and Harris has not received any notice or communication of any material noncompliance with any such Laws that has not been cured as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement. The MCD Business and the Contributed Assets have obtained, and are in substantial compliance with, all material Governmental Authorizations required or necessary for the conduct of the MCD Business as presently conducted, and neither Harris nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice from any Government Entity of any material noncompliance with any such Governmental Authorizations that has not been cured as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement.

        (i) to the Knowledge of Harris, Harris and its Subsidiaries have materially complied at all times with all applicable Environmental Laws in conducting the MCD Business;
 
        (ii) to the Knowledge of Harris, no property currently owned, leased or operated by Harris or its Subsidiaries which is Related to the MCD Business (including soils, groundwater, surface water buildings or other structures) is contaminated with any Hazardous Substance in a manner that has given or could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Environmental Liability;
 
        (iii) to the Knowledge of Harris, no property formerly owned, leased or operated by Harris or any of its Subsidiaries which is Related to the MCD Business was contaminated with any Hazardous Substance during or prior to such period of ownership, leasehold or operation in a manner that has given or could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Environmental Liability;
 
        (iv) to the Knowledge of Harris, neither Harris nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any Environmental Liabilities concerning any third party property as a result of the conduct of the MCD Business or any condition in, on, under or about the real property set forth in either Section 7.2(q)(i) or Section 7.2(q)(ii) of the Harris Disclosure Letter (the “MCD Real Property”);
 
        (v) neither Harris nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice, demand, letter, claim or request for information alleging that Harris or any of its Subsidiaries may be in violation of or subject

  to liability under any Environmental Law as a result of the conduct of the MCD Business or any condition in, on, under or about the MCD Real Property;
 
        (vi) neither Harris nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any order, decree, injunction or agreement with any Government Entity, or any indemnity or other agreement with any third party, concerning liability or obligations relating to any Environmental Law or otherwise relating to any Hazardous Substance, in each case relating to the conduct of the MCD Business or any condition in, on, under or about the MCD Real Property;
 
        (vii) to the Knowledge of Harris, there are no other circumstances or conditions involving the MCD Business that could reasonably be expected to result in any Environmental Liability for Newco or any of its Subsidiaries; and

Harris has made available to Stratex true and correct copies of the United States federal income Tax Returns (including all schedules and attachments thereto) filed by or on behalf of the Contributed Subsidiaries for each of its fiscal years ended July 1, 2005, July 2, 2004 and June 27, 2003.

(a) Stratex agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (any such Persons, including any investment banker, attorney or accountant, a “Representative”) shall, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making or implementation of any proposal or offer with respect to (i) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, reorganization or other business combination transaction involving Stratex, (ii) any acquisition of any equity or other ownership interests in Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries representing, in the aggregate, 15% or more of the total voting power or economic interest of all of the outstanding equity or other ownership interest in Stratex or an economic interest of equivalent value in any Subsidiary of Stratex or (iii) any acquisition of assets of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries representing 15% or more of the total assets of Stratex and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (any such inquiry, proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an “Acquisition Proposal”).

A-53


 

shall prevent Stratex or the Stratex Board from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under Sections 14d-9 and 14e-2 of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder with regard to an Acquisition Proposal or making any disclosures to holders of Stratex Common Stock that the Stratex Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the Stratex Board is required to make in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the holders of Stratex Common Stock under the DGCL (but if any disclosure made to effect such compliance has the substantive effect of withdrawing, or modifying or qualifying in any manner adverse to Harris, the Board Recommendation or Board Approval or recommending or approving another Acquisition Proposal (each, a “Change In Recommendation”), Harris shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(i)) or (ii) at any time prior to, but not after, the Stratex Requisite Vote is obtained: (A) providing confidential or non public information in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (assuming, for this purpose only, that all references to “15% or more” in the definition of such term were changed to “a majority”) which did not result from a breach of this Section 9.1 (a “Qualifying Acquisition Proposal”); (B) engaging or participating in any discussions or negotiations with any Person who has made a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal; or (C) approving or recommending to the holders of shares of Stratex Common Stock a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal (or agreeing to take any such action), if and only to the extent that, (1) in the case of any action described in clause (A), (B) or (C) above, after consulting with outside legal counsel the Stratex Board determines in good faith that failing to take such action would constitute a breach by the directors of Stratex of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (2) prior to taking any action described in clause (A) or (B) above, Stratex and the other Person referred to in such clauses execute and deliver a written confidentiality agreement on terms substantially similar to those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; (3) in the case of any action described in clause (B) or (C) above, the Stratex Board determines in good faith and after consulting with its financial advisors and outside counsel that the Qualifying Acquisition Proposal referred to in such clauses is (x) more favorable from a financial point of view to Stratex’s stockholders than the Transactions after taking into account any Revised Terms offered by Harris before such action is taken and all other relevant factors (including but not limited to the probability that such Qualifying Acquisition Proposal will be consummated and the time required to effect such consummation) and (y) reasonably likely to be consummated taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory (including, without limitation, any antitrust or competition approvals or non objections) and other relevant factors (any such Qualifying Acquisition Proposal, a “Superior Proposal”) or, in the case of clause (B) only, is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal; (4) before taking any of the actions described in clause (B) or (C) above, Stratex shall have provided written notice to Harris of Stratex’s or the Stratex Board’s intention to take such action, at least five (5) Business Days (in the case of the first Qualifying Acquisition Proposal made by such Person) or one (1) Business Day (in the case of any subsequent Qualifying Acquisition Proposal made by such Person) shall have elapsed since the date on which Harris received such notice and Stratex shall have complied with the provisions of Section 9.1(c). Any determination required or permitted to be made by the Stratex Board after the date of the Original Formation Agreement under this Agreement shall be sufficient if approved by a majority of the total number of members thereof at a meeting duly called and held and at which a quorum was present and acting throughout.
      (b) Stratex agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted prior to the Original Formation Agreement Date with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

Stratex agrees that it will take the necessary steps to promptly inform its Representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 9.1. None of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries will waive any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party without the prior written consent of Harris.

A-54


 

      (c) Stratex agrees that it will notify Harris as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within 24 hours) if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal are received by, any information relating thereto is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations relating thereto are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposal or offer and thereafter shall keep Harris informed, on a current basis, as to the status and terms of any such proposal or offer and the status of any such discussions or negotiations. Stratex also agrees to provide any information to Harris that it is providing to another Person pursuant to this Section 9.1 at the same time it provides it to such other Person. Stratex agrees that during the five- and one-Business Day periods described in subclause (4) of clause (ii) of the proviso in Section 9.1(a) and in Section 9.2, Stratex shall negotiate in good faith with Harris with respect to any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Harris. Any such revisions which Harris offers in writing to make which, if accepted by Stratex, would be legally binding on the parties to this Agreement are referred to herein as “Revised Terms”. Stratex agrees that any material amendment to any Qualifying Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Qualifying Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 9.1 and Section 9.2.
      9.2.     Board Recommendation. The Stratex Board shall not make a Change In Recommendation at any time prior to such time that the Stratex Requisite Vote is obtained unless: (i) Stratex shall have provided written notice to Harris that the Stratex Board intends to take such action, at least five (5) Business Days shall have elapsed since the date on which Harris received such notice and Stratex shall have complied with the applicable provisions of Section 9.1(c), (ii) the Stratex Board shall have determined in good faith, after consulting with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors and taking into account any Revised Terms, that failing to take such action would be a breach by the directors of Stratex of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (iii) if the Change In Recommendation is being made primarily as a result of an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (it being agreed and understood by the parties that any Change in Recommendation shall not alter the Stratex Board’s approval of the Transactions (including for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL)). Unless and until the Board Recommendation has been withdrawn as permitted by this Agreement, the Board Approval and Board Recommendation shall be included in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus and the Stratex Board shall take all reasonable and lawful action to solicit the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of shares of Stratex Common Stock by the Stratex Requisite Vote at the Stratex Stockholders Meeting.
      9.3.     SEC Filings; Information Supplied; Stratex Stockholders Meeting.

      (b) Each of Harris and Stratex agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it or any of its Subsidiaries for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the time the Registration Statement or any such amendment becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Prospectus/ Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to the stockholders of Stratex and at the time of the Stratex Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Harris and Stratex will cause the Registration Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

A-55


 

      (c) Each party shall provide to the other party and its counsel (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that such party or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement or Prospectus/ Proxy Statement, promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating in any discussions or meetings with the SEC.
      (d) No amendment or supplement to any of the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus will be made by any party without the approval of the other parties, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as may be required by applicable Law.
      (e) Each party shall advise the other parties and their respective counsel, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the shares of Common Stock in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus/ Proxy Statement of or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information.

In lieu of purchasing D&O Insurance pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Stratex may purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy prior to the Effective Time on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties than the existing D&O Insurance maintained by Stratex; provided, that the amount paid by Stratex shall not exceed two (2) times the Maximum Annual Premium. Stratex shall cooperate with Harris in good faith to explore the possibility of satisfying the obligations of Newco under this Section 9.18(c) by purchasing a “tail” period policy satisfying the requirements of this Section 9.18(c).

      (e) The obligations under this Section 9.18 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party. Each of the D&O Indemnified Parties are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 9.18, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of

A-62


 

the D&O Indemnified Parties under this Section 9.18 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).
      9.19.     Takeover Statute. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the shares of Stratex Common Stock, the Contribution Transaction, the Merger or the other Transactions, Stratex and its Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Statute on shares of Stratex Common Stock, the Contribution Transaction, the Merger or the other Transactions.

A-65


 

  Agreement in any manner that shall have proximately contributed to the occurrence of the event which gave rise to the termination right under this Section 11.1(b);
 
        (c) by Harris, if (i) the Stratex Board shall have made, or agreed to make, a Change In Recommendation or failed to reconfirm its recommendation of this Agreement within five (5) Business Days after a written request by Harris to do so, (ii) there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Stratex in this Agreement, or any such representation or warranty shall have become untrue or incorrect on any date subsequent to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, in each case in a manner that would cause the condition in Section 10.2(a) or 10.2(b), as the case may be, not to be satisfied (assuming, except for cure purposes, any such subsequent date was the Closing Date) and such breach or failure to be true or correct is not curable or, if curable, is not cured within 30 days after written notice thereof is given by Harris to Stratex, (iii) a vote on the adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of Stratex shall not have been taken and completed by February 28, 2007 or (iv) Stratex shall have materially breached any of its obligations under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing Harris may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(iv) or Section 11.1(c)(i)after the Stratex Requisite Vote has been obtained;

        (e) by Stratex, at any time prior to the time the Stratex Requisite Vote has been obtained, in order for Stratex to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal if (i) Stratex has not materially breached any of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Stratex Board has authorized Stratex to enter into a definitive agreement for such Superior Proposal, (iii) Stratex has complied with Section 9.1 and (iv) prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(e), Stratex shall have irrevocably paid to Harris the Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 11.2(d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

      (b) In the event that at any time after the date of the Original Formation Agreement and prior to its termination a bona fide Acquisition Proposal (assuming, for this purpose only, that all references to “15%” in the definition of such term were changed to “a majority” (a “Covered Proposal”)) shall have been made to Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or its stockholders or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Covered Proposal with respect to Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries and thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Harris or Stratex pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(i) (unless (i) any of the conditions set forth in Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.3(other than Section 10.3(g)) shall not have been satisfied (or, in the case of any such condition to be satisfied at the Closing, capable of such satisfaction) at the time of such termination, or (ii) the only condition to Harris’ obligation to effect the Contribution Transaction which is not satisfied at the time of such termination (other than, in the case of any such conditions to be satisfied at the Closing, those that are capable of such satisfaction) is Section 10.2(f) and the events, conditions or circumstances which caused such condition not to be satisfied were not, directly or indirectly, within the control of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries) or Section 11.1(b)(ii) or by Harris pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(ii) or Section 11.1(c)(iii),

A-66


 

then (A) Stratex shall promptly, but in no event later than two days after being notified of such by Harris, reimburse Harris for all of the documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Harris in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions up to a maximum amount of $2 million by wire transfer of immediately available funds and (B) if Stratex (I) consummates any Covered Proposal with any Person within the twelve-month period immediately following the date on which this Agreement has been so terminated (the “Tail Period”) or (II) enters into a definitive agreement for any Covered Proposal with any Person during the Tail Period and (x) consummates any Covered Proposal with such Person within the twelve-month period immediately following the end of the Tail Period or (y) consummates any Covered Proposal with any other Person within the fifteen-month period immediately following the end of the Tail Period, then in each such case Stratex shall pay to Harris on or prior to such consummation of such Covered Proposal by wire transfer of immediately available funds a termination fee equal to $14.5 million (the “Termination Fee”) minus the aggregate amount of expenses previously reimbursed pursuant to clause (A) of this Section 11.2(b).
      (c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Harris pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(i) or Section 11.1(c)(iv), then Stratex shall promptly, but in no event later than two days after the date of such termination, pay to Harris the Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
      (d) In the event that Stratex terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(e), Stratex shall pay to Harris the Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds immediately prior to, and as a condition of, such termination.
      (e) Stratex acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 11.2(b), Section 11.2(c) and Section 11.2(d) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Harris would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Stratex fails to promptly pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 11.2(b), Section 11.2(c) or Section 11.2(d), and, in order to obtain such payment, Harris commences a suit that results in a judgment against Stratex for such amounts, Stratex shall pay to Harris its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit and any amounts payable by Stratex pursuant to this Section 11.2 which are not paid when due shall bear interest from the due date to the payment date at a rate per annum equal to 2% above the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such amounts were due.
ARTICLE XII

      12.1.     No Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Harris and Stratex contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall not survive the Closing.

From and after the Closing Date, Newco shall indemnify and defend and hold Harris and its Subsidiaries, directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives and agents (collectively with Harris, the “Harris Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Harris Indemnified Person (whether or not involving a third-party claim) arising out of or relating to (a) any breach by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries of any covenants of Newco contained in this Agreement to be performed by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing (it being agreed that any action or inaction approved by the Board of Directors of Newco shall not be subject to indemnity under this Section 12.2 if a majority of the directors of Newco at the time of such action or inaction were Class B Directors (as such term is defined in the Investor Agreement), (b) any Assumed Liability, (c) any Liability arising out of or relating to the operation of the businesses or Properties or Liabilities of (i) Stratex prior to the Closing or (ii) Newco and/or any of its Subsidiaries on or after the Closing.
      12.3.     Indemnification by Harris.

A-67


 

all Losses incurred by any Newco Indemnified Person (whether or not involving a third-party claim) arising out of or relating to (a) any breach by Harris or any of its Subsidiaries of any covenants of Harris contained in this Agreement to be performed by Harris or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing or (b) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability.
      12.4.     Third Party Claims. If any claim or action by a third party is made in writing against a Harris Indemnified Person or a Newco Indemnified Person (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement and such Indemnified Party intends to seek such indemnity, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification may be sought hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such claim or action; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Party to such give such notice promptly will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein or, at its election, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE XII for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel provided by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate set of counsel at any time for all Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to their regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. No indemnification shall be available in respect of any settlement of any action or claim effected by an Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
      12.5.     Tax and Insurance Adjustments. Any and all Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder shall be (a) increased to take into account any net Taxes actually payable by the applicable Indemnified Parties attributable to the receipt of such payment (grossed up for such increase) and (b) reduced to take into account any net tax benefit actually realized by the applicable Indemnified Party as a result of incurring such Losses or any insurance proceeds actually recovered in respect of such Losses (net of any cost of recovery or increased premiums resulting therefrom) and each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover all available insurance proceeds.

The conditions to each of the parties’ obligations to consummate the Contribution Transaction or the Merger are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Law. No failure or delay by any party to take any action with respect to a breach by another party of this Agreement or a default by another party hereunder shall constitute a waiver of the former party’s right to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to take action with respect to such breach or default or any subsequent breach or default. Waiver by any party of any breach or failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement by another party shall not be construed as, or constitute, a continuing wavier of such provisions, or a waiver of any other breach of or failure to comply with any other provisions of this Agreement.

      (c) Each of Stratex and Harris has or may have set forth information in its respective disclosure letter in a section thereof that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. A matter set forth in one section of a disclosure letter need not be set forth in any other section of the disclosure letter so long as its relevance to the latter section of the disclosure letter or section of this Agreement is readily apparent on the face of the information disclosed in the disclosure letter to the Person to which such disclosure is being made.

ARTICLE II
Scope of Agreement
      2.1.     Scope of Agreement. Harris and the Company desire to set forth in this Agreement certain terms and conditions upon which Harris will hold its equity interests in the Company, including but not limited its rights as a holder of Class B Common Stock. Solely with respect to Harris’ rights as a holder of Class B Common Stock, if there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Governing Instruments as a result of any amendment of this Agreement or otherwise, the parties agree to take promptly all necessary action to amend the Governing Instruments to eliminate such inconsistency to the fullest extent permitted by Law.
      2.2.     Governing Instruments and Class B Common Stock. On or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Harris and Stratex have caused the Company to be incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware with Governing Instruments in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B. As of the date of this Agreement, Harris owns, directly or indirectly through its Affiliates, all the outstanding Class B Common Stock and the shareholders of Stratex immediately prior to the Effective Time own all the outstanding Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the Governing Instruments, the rights and privileges of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are identical in all respects except that the holders of the Class B Common Stock have the additional right to vote separately as a class to elect, remove and replace the Class B Directors (the “Additional Voting Rights”), the right to receive Class B Common Stock instead of Class A Common Stock in certain circumstances, the absence of certain duties and obligations with respect to Corporate Opportunities (as defined in the Governing Instruments) and preemptive rights consistent with those granted in Section 4.5 hereof. The holders of Class B Common Stock also have the right at any time to exchange (a) any outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock held by such holder for an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock or (b) any outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock for an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case as provided in the Governing Instruments. Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into one outstanding share of Class A Common Stock automatically and without any further action by the Company or any other Person if: (i) the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (assuming that all the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock which are then exchangeable for Class B Common Stock have been so exchanged) are collectively entitled to cast less than 10% of the Total Voting Power or (ii) such Class B Common Stock is transferred by a holder to any Person who is not an Affiliate of such holder or a Nominee of such holder or one of its Affiliates; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no such conversion shall occur if such transfer is part of a transfer by such holder and its Affiliates of all of the shares of Class B Common Stock then owned by them (either directly or through a Nominee (as defined below)) to any other Person or to any other Person and its Affiliates. As of the date of this Agreement, the Class B Common Stock represents 56% of the outstanding Common Stock determined on a fully diluted basis using the treasury stock method assuming a market price per share of Class A Common Stock equal to $20.80.
ARTICLE III
Boards of Directors
      3.1.     Role and Composition of the Board. (a) As of the date of this Agreement, the Board is comprised of nine directors of which the Initial Harris Directors are the five Class B Directors and the Initial Stratex Directors are the four Class A Directors. Of the Initial Harris Directors, Eric C. Evans is an Audit Independent Director, James C. Stoffel is not an employee of Harris or any of its Subsidiaries and Guy M. Campbell is the chief executive officer of the Company, in each case as of the date of this Agreement. Of the Initial Stratex Directors, William A. Hasler and Edward F. Thompson are Audit Independent Directors and Charles D. Kissner is the Chairman of the Board, in each case as of the date of this Agreement. All Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders and the Initial Directors shall serve until their successors are elected at the first such annual meeting. Until the second anniversary of the date of this

Table of Contents

Agreement, one of the Class B Directors must be an Audit Independent Director and one of the other Class B Directors must not be an employee of Harris or any of its Subsidiaries.
      (b) At all times when the holders of all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (assuming that all the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock which are then exchangeable for Class B Common Stock have been so exchanged) are collectively entitled to cast a majority of the Total Voting Power, (i) the Company will rely on the Controlled Company exemption contained in Rule 4350(c)(5) of the NASDAQ Rules, (ii) the Board will be comprised of nine Directors, (iii) the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to elect five of the Directors pursuant to the Additional Voting Rights and the quorum for action by the Board shall be a majority of the Board, which majority shall include at least four Class B Directors and (iv) the remaining four Directors will be Class A Directors nominated by a nominating committee consisting solely of the Class A Directors then in office (the “Nominating Committee”), and elected by the holders of the Common Stock, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that at all times when Rule 4350(d)(2)(A) of the NASDAQ Rules applies to the Company a sufficient number of the Class A Directors must satisfy the requirements of that Rule with respect to the Company so that, together with any Class B Directors which are required or otherwise satisfy such requirements with respect to the Company, there are enough Directors to constitute an audit committee of the Board which complies with the requirements of Rule 4350(d) of the NASDAQ Rules. Harris agrees to vote, or caused to be voted, all Voting Securities owned by it, its Affiliates and their respective Nominees in favor of the election of the Class A Directors nominated by the Nominating Committee pursuant to this Section 3.1(b).
      (c) At all times when the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (assuming that all the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock which are then exchangeable for Class B Common Stock have been so exchanged) are collectively entitled to cast a percentage of the Total Voting Power (the “Voting Percentage”) which is less than a majority but equal to or greater than 10% of the Total Voting Power (i) the Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to elect pursuant to the Additional Voting Rights a number of Class B Directors which represents the Voting Percentage of the total number of Directors then comprising the entire Board (rounded down to the next whole number of Directors), and (ii) the remaining Directors will be Class A Directors nominated by the Nominating Committee (the composition of which shall comply with the requirements of Rule 4350(c)(4) of the NASDAQ Rules) and elected by the holders of the Common Stock, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that at all times when such rules apply to the Company a sufficient number of the Class A Directors must (A) qualify as an Independent Director with respect to the Company as such term is defined in Rule 4200(15) of the NASDAQ Rules so that Board complies with Rule 4350(c)(1) of the NASD Rules and (B) satisfy the requirements of Rule 4350(d)(2)(A) of the NASDAQ Rules with respect to the Company so that, together with any Class B Directors which are required to or otherwise satisfy such requirements with respect to the Company, there are enough Directors to constitute an audit committee which complies with the requirements of Rule 4350(d) of the NASDAQ Rules. The Nominating Committee will nominate individuals for election as Class A Directors who comply with the foregoing requirements and Harris agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Voting Securities owned by it, its Affiliates and their respective Nominees in favor of the election of such nominees.
      3.2.     Removal and Vacancies. (a) Without limiting Harris’ obligations under Section 3.1(a), the holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class, shall have the sole right to remove the Class B Directors with or without cause at any time and for any reason and the sole right to elect successor Directors to fill any vacancies on the Board caused by any such removals. Any vacancy created by any resignation, death or incapacity of any Class B Director shall be filled by the remaining Class B Directors then in office or, if there are none, by the holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class.
      (b) The holders of the Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a class, shall have the sole right to remove the Class A Directors without cause and the sole right to appoint successor Directors to fill any vacancies on the Board caused by any such removals. Any vacancy created by the resignation, death or incapacity of any Class A Director shall be filled by the remaining Class A Directors then in office or, if

E-8


Table of Contents

there are none, by the holders of the Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a class. Harris agrees that none of the shares of Class A Common Stock owned by it, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Nominees will be voted for the removal of any Class A Director without cause and all such shares will be voted for the election of the individual nominated by the Nominating Committee to replace any Class A Director who has been removed with or without cause.
      (c) The holders of the Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the sole right to remove the Class A Directors for cause and the sole right to elect successor Directors to fill any vacancies on the Board caused by any such removals.
      3.3.     Committees. At all times, the audit, nominating and compensation committees of the Board shall comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 4350 of the NASDAQ Rules (after taking advantage of all available exemptions for Controlled Companies under such Rules).
      3.4.     Voting Requirements. All actions of the Board must be approved by a majority of a quorum.
      3.5.     Determination of Total Voting Power. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any transaction or transactions occur which entitle the holders of Class B Common Stock to preemptive rights under Section 4.5, then no determination of the percentage of the Total Voting Power collectively entitled to be cast by the holders of all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (assuming that all the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock which are then exchangeable for Class B Common Stock have been so exchanged) shall be made for any purpose under this Agreement until after the exercise or expiration of all such preemptive rights in respect of all such transactions by such holders.
ARTICLE IV
Covenants
      4.1.     Standstill Provisions. For a period of two years from the Closing Date, Harris may not acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership of any Voting Securities of the Company through open-market transactions, third party purchases, business combinations or otherwise except (i) pursuant to Section 4.5, (ii) as a result of any actions taken by the Company that do not increase or decrease the percentage of Voting Power which Harris and its Affiliates are entitled to cast in respect of all Voting Securities beneficially owned by Harris or (iii) with the prior approval of a majority of the Class A Directors. From the second to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, Harris may not beneficially own Voting Securities which entitle Harris and its Affiliates to cast more than 80% of the Voting Power without the prior approval of a majority of the Class A Directors. From the second until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, Harris may not Transfer Voting Securities entitled to cast a majority of the Voting Power in a single transaction or series of related transactions if a single Person would acquire beneficial ownership of all of such Voting Securities or a portion of such Voting Securities that would entitle such Person to cast a majority of the Total Voting Power unless (i) such Transfer is approved in advance by a majority of the Class A Directors or (ii) such Person offers to acquire all the Voting Securities then owned by each other holder of Voting Securities at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Transfer from Harris. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.1 shall prohibit or restrict any pro rata dividend or other pro rata distributions of Voting Securities to Harris’ shareholders or any bona fide sale to the public of Voting Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or a bona fide registered public offering. For all purposes of this Agreement, Harris shall be deemed to beneficially own all Voting Securities beneficially owned by any of its Affiliates.
      4.2.     Access to Information, Audit and Inspection. As long as Harris continues to beneficially own Voting Securities that entitle it to cast at least 20% of the Total Voting Power:
      (a) Harris and its Representatives shall have (and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide Harris and its Representatives with) full access at reasonable times and during normal business hours to all the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses (including those books and records pertaining to periods prior to the Closing Date), including the right to

E-9


Table of Contents

examine and audit any of such books and records and to make copies and extracts therefrom. Harris shall bear all expenses incurred by it or its Representatives in making any such examination or audit and will reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it or its Subsidiaries in connection therewith. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make arrangements for Harris and its Representatives to have prompt access at reasonable times and during normal business hours to its officers, directors and employees to discuss the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the books and records pertaining thereto. The provisions of this Section 4.2(a) shall continue to apply to the Company and its Subsidiaries and be enforceable by Harris after Harris ceases to beneficially own any Voting Securities of the Company or Voting Securities of the Company that entitle it to cast at least 20% of the Voting Power, but only to the extent, in each case, that such books and records and such access to officers, directors and other employees are reasonably requested by Harris in connection with any pending or threatened Litigation, proceeding or investigation involving Harris or any of its Affiliates insofar as such matter relates to the business or affairs of the Company or such Subsidiary (including any matters relating to the business and affairs of any predecessor businesses, including relating to periods prior to the Closing Date).
      (b) The Company shall provide Harris with copies of each completed tax return required to be filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by applicable Law (each, a “Tax Return”) at least 20 Business Days prior to the due date (including any extensions of such due date) of the filing of such Tax Return, and Harris may review such Tax Return prior to its filing with the appropriate Government Entity. The Company shall consult with Harris and negotiate in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of the Harris’ review of such Tax Return. Harris, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use all reasonable good faith efforts to resolve any issue in dispute as promptly as possible, but in any event prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return. In the event an issue resulting from the review by Harris of such Tax Return remains in dispute as of the due date for the filing of such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed with the appropriate Government Entity in accordance with the recommendation of the Company’s external tax advisors.
      4.3.     Related Party Transactions. Harris will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or series of related transactions (including any Transfer of any assets or the provision of any goods or services) with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on Arm’s Length Terms and (ii) if the Affiliate Transaction has a Fair Market Value of more than $5 million, such Affiliate Transaction shall have been approved in advance by a majority of the Class A Directors. The foregoing shall not apply to:
        (i) any issuance of securities to, or other payments, awards or grants of in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, employee benefits, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Board,
 
        (ii) the payment of reasonable and customary fees to Directors who are not employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
 
        (iii) indemnification or insurance arrangements covering directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and
 
        (iv) any payments or other transactions pursuant to any tax-sharing agreement between the Company and any other Person with which the Company files a consolidated tax return or with which the Company is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes.
      4.4.     Freedom of Action. (a) Nothing in this Section 4.4 will impair the Company’s ability to enter into contractual arrangements with a shareholder of the Company which restrict the shareholder from engaging in activities otherwise allowed by this Section and the following provisions shall be subject to the terms of any such contractual arrangements.
      (b) Except as expressly provided in the Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, Harris and Stratex (the “Non-Competition Agreement”) or the proviso at the end of Section 4.4(c), Harris and its Affiliates shall have the right to, and none of them shall have any

If Harris or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their directors, officers or employees, including any such individuals who are also directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Harris Entities”) acquires knowledge of a potential opportunity, transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both Harris or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, (each, a “Corporate Opportunity”), then each of the Harris Entities shall have the right to, and none of them shall have any fiduciary duty or other obligation not to, pursue such Corporate Opportunity for itself or to direct such Corporate Opportunity to any of its Affiliates or to any third party and none of the Harris Entities (i) shall have any duty to communicate, offer or present such Corporate Opportunity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, directors, officers or employees, (ii) shall have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty or other duty, as a shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, (iii) shall be deemed to have acted (x) in bad faith, (y) in a manner inconsistent with the best interests of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their shareholders or (z) in a manner inconsistent with, or opposed to, any fiduciary duty owed by them to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their shareholders, in each case by reason of the fact that any Harris Entity pursues or acquires such Corporate Opportunity for itself, directs such Corporate Opportunity to any of its Affiliates or any third party, or does not communicate information regarding such Corporate Opportunity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, directors, officers or employees; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary a Corporate Opportunity offered to a person who is a director or officer of both the Company and Harris shall belong to the Company if such Corporate Opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company.
      (d) The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law and are not intended to be enforceable to any further extent.
      4.5.     Preemptive Right. (a) If the Company proposes to issue (a “Proposed Issuance”) any capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such capital stock (collectively, the “Offered Securities”) at any time when the holders of all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (assuming that all the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock which are then exchangeable for Class B Common Stock have been so exchanged) are collectively entitled to cast a

E-11


Table of Contents

majority of the Total Voting Power, the Company shall give written notice of the Proposed Issuance to the holders of Class B Common Stock (the “Offer Notice”) at least 30 days prior to such issuance. Such notice shall describe all the material terms and conditions of such Proposed Issuance. Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall have the right to acquire at the same price and on the same terms and conditions, an additional amount of the Offered Securities so that the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock and Total Voting Power then owned by such holder shall not change as a result of such acquisition and Proposed Issuance; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing (i) such holder may elect to acquire a lesser number of additional Offered Securities as it may determine in its sole discretion and (ii) if the Offered Securities are, or are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, Class A Common Stock, then in lieu thereof such holder shall be entitled to purchase Class B Common Stock or Offered Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class B Common Stock, as applicable. If any holder of Class B Common Stock fails to accept such offer by written notice received by the Company within fifteen (15) days following the date on which such holder received the Offer Notice, the Proposed Issuance may be consummated free and clear of the preemptive right granted to the holders of Class B Common Stock under this Section 4.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the purchase price for any Proposed Issuance is to be paid in whole or in part other than in cash, then the holders of Class B Common Stock may pay the purchase price in cash in an amount per Offered Security equal to the fair market value of the aggregate non-cash consideration so payable, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board, divided by the total number of Offered Securities to be issued without giving effect to the preemptive right granted by this Section 4.5.
      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preemptive right granted by this Section 4.5 shall not apply to any Proposed Issuance pursuant to any stock option, restricted stock or employee benefit plan of the Company; provided, however, at the end of each month the Company shall give the holders of Class B Common Stock written notice of all such Proposed Issuances during such month (the “Monthly Offer Notice”) and each holder of Class B Common Stock shall have the right, exercisable by delivering written notice to the Company (each, a “Monthly Exercise Notice”) within fifteen days after the date on which such holder received the Monthly Offer Notice, to purchase for cash a sufficient number of shares of Class B Common Stock so that the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock and Total Voting Power then owned by such holder shall not change as a result of such acquisition and Proposed Issuances; provided, however, that such holder may elect to acquire a lesser number of such shares of Class B Common Stock as it may determine it its sole discretion. The per share purchase price for any purchase of Class B Common Stock pursuant to a Monthly Exercise Notice shall be (i) if the Class A Common Stock is then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated inter-dealer quotation system, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company received the Monthly Exercise Notice or (ii) in all other cases, the fair market value of one share of Class A Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board.
      4.6.     Covenants Relating to Financial, Accounting and Disclosure Matters. (a) The Company agrees to comply with the requirements of all of the following paragraphs of this Section 4.6 other than paragraph (m) at all times when Harris is required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to consolidate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company agrees to comply with the requirements of paragraphs (d), (e), (f), (j), (m) and (n) of this Section 4.6 at all time when Harris is required by GAAP to account for its investment in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting.
      (b) Disclosure and Internal Controls. The Company will (and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to) maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act or any similar or successor rule applicable to Harris. The Company shall cause each of its principal executive and principal financial officers to (i) sign and deliver certifications to its periodic reports and shall include the certifications in its periodic reports, as and when required pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 and Item 601 of Regulation S-K or any similar or successor rule applicable to Harris and (ii) sign and deliver to Harris such certification and representation documents, and to participate in discussions of related matters, with respect to Harris’ periodic reports

E-12

under the Exchange Act as Harris may reasonably request. The Company shall cause its management to evaluate its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (including any change in internal control over financial reporting) as and when required pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or any similar or successor rule applicable to Harris. The Company shall disclose in its periodic reports filed with the SEC information concerning its management’s responsibilities for and evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (including the annual management report and attestation report of its independent auditors relating to internal control over financial reporting) as and when required under Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K and other applicable SEC rules. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) maintain internal systems and procedures which provide reasonable assurance that (i) its financial statements are reliable and timely prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable Law, (ii) all transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of their respective financial statements, (iii) the receipts and expenditures of the Company and its Subsidiaries are authorized at the appropriate internal level, and (iv) unauthorized use or disposition of the assets of any the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could have material effect on their financial statements is prevented or detected in a timely manner. The Company shall report in reasonable detail to Harris any of the following events or circumstances promptly after any executive officer of the Company or any Director becomes aware of such matter: (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting that is reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (iii) any illegal act within the meaning of Section 10A(b) and (f) of the Exchange Act, and (iv) any report of a material violation of Law that an attorney representing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has formally made to any officers or directors of the Company pursuant to the SEC’s attorney conduct rules (17 C.F.R. Part 205).
      (c)     Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Monthly Accounting Periods. The Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) maintain the same fiscal year, fiscal quarter and fiscal monthly accounting periods as Harris as they may change from time to time.
      (d)     Quarterly and Annual Information. The Company shall cooperate with Harris and use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Harris consolidated quarterly and annual financial statements of the Company by such dates as Harris shall reasonably determine in order to give Harris reasonable time to review and include such information in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as applicable. The Company hereby acknowledges that Harris’ internal policies and procedures will impose certain requirements on its divisions and subsidiaries with respect to the type and format of financial information provided to Harris’ management at the end of each fiscal quarter and fiscal year end and that Harris currently requires such information to be so provided no later than the eighth (8th) Business Day following the end of each fiscal quarter and fiscal year end. The Company acknowledges that Harris is a Large Accelerated Filer (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and is required to file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K with the SEC on an accelerated basis and must make file such reports with the SEC before the Company is currently required to file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Annual Reports on Form 10-K or may be required to file such reports in the future. Senior employees of the Company and Harris with responsibility for preparation and review of SEC filings will actively consult with each other regarding the details of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K to be filed by the Company and in particular review any changes (whether or not substantive) that the Company is considering or plans to make to the most recent draft provided to Harris before such documents are filed with the SEC.
      (e)     Other SEC Filings. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries which files any information with the SEC (each, a “Filing Party”) shall promptly deliver to Harris: preliminary and substantially final drafts, as soon as the same are prepared, of (i) all reports, notices and proxy and information statements to be sent or made available by such Filing Party to its security holders, (ii) all

E-13


Table of Contents

regular, periodic and other reports (other than those on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q) to be filed or furnished by such Filing Party under Sections 13, 14 and 15 of the Exchange Act, and (iii) all registration statements and prospectuses to be filed by such Filing Party with the SEC or any securities exchange pursuant to the listed company manual (or similar requirements) of such exchange. Thereafter, senior employees of the Company and Harris with responsibility for preparation and review of SEC filings will actively consult with each other regarding any changes (whether or not substantive) that the Company may consider making to such documents before they are filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
      (f)     Earnings Releases and Financial Guidance. Senior employees from the Company and Harris with responsibility for such matters shall consult with each other as to the timing of their annual and quarterly earnings releases and any interim financial guidance for a current or future period and the Company shall give Harris the opportunity to review and comment on the information contained in such releases or guidance. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to issue its respective annual and quarterly earnings releases at approximately the same time on the same date as Harris. No later than eight hours prior to the time and date (or, if the same will be published before noon, no later than 5 p.m. Melbourne, Florida time on the previous Business Day) on which the Company intends to publish its regular annual or quarterly earnings release, any financial guidance for a current or future period or any other matters that could be reasonably likely to have a material financial impact on the earnings, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Harris copies of substantially final drafts of all press releases and other statements relating thereto which will be made available by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to employees or public and senior employees with responsibility for such maters shall consult regarding any changes (other than typographical or other similar minor changes) to such substantially final drafts. Immediately following the issuance thereof, the Company shall deliver to Harris copies of final versions of all such press releases and other public statements.
      (g)     Harris Public Filings. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and to cause its auditors to cooperate with Harris to the extent reasonably requested by Harris in the preparation of Harris public earnings or other press releases, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports to Shareholders, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any other proxy, information and registration statements, reports, notices, prospectuses and any other filings made by Harris with the SEC or any national securities exchange or otherwise made publicly available by or on behalf of Harris (collectively, the “Harris Public Filings”) and Harris shall reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection therewith. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Harris all information Harris reasonably requests in connection with any Harris Public Filings or that, in the reasonable judgment of legal advisors to Harris, is required to be disclosed or incorporated by reference therein under applicable Law. The Company shall provide such information in a timely manner on the dates requested by Harris (which may be earlier than the dates on which the Company otherwise would be required hereunder to have such information available) to enable Harris to prepare, print and release all Harris Public Filings on such dates as Harris shall reasonably determine but in no event later than as required by applicable Law. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company Auditors to consent to any reference to them as experts in any Harris Public Filings if required under applicable Law. If and to the extent requested by Harris, the Company shall diligently and promptly review all drafts of such Harris Public Filings and prepare in a diligent and timely fashion any portion of such Harris Public Filing pertaining to the Company. Prior to any printing or public release of any Harris Public Filing, an appropriate executive officer of the Company shall, if requested by Harris, certify that the information relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their businesses in such Harris Public Filing is accurate, true, complete and correct in all material respects. Unless required by Law, the Company shall not publicly release any financial or other information that conflicts with the information with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses that is included in any Harris Public Filing without Harris’ prior written consent. Prior to the release or filing thereof, Harris shall provide the Company with a draft of any portion of a Harris Public Filing containing information relating

E-14


Table of Contents

to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their businesses and shall give the Company an opportunity to review such information and comment thereon.
      (h)     Company Disclosures. Nothing in Section 4.6(d), Section 4.6(e), Section 4.6(f) or Section 4.6(n) shall prevent or otherwise limit the ability of the Company to make any disclosure which the Company reasonably believes is necessary to comply with applicable Law, including any changes to drafts previously furnished to Harris. Nothing in Section 4.6(d), Section 4.6(e), Section 4.6(f) or Section 4.6(n) shall prevent or otherwise limit the ability of Harris to make any disclosure which Harris reasonably believes is necessary to comply with applicable Law, including any changes to drafts previously furnished to the Company.
      (i)     Consistency of Accounting Principles, Policies and Practices. All information to be provided to Harris by, or with respect to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement shall be consistent in terms of format, detail and otherwise with the accounting principles, policies and practices of Harris, with such changes therein as may be requested by Harris from time to time consistent with changes in such accounting principles, policies and practices. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall give Harris as much prior notice as reasonably practicable of any proposed determination of, or any significant changes in, the Company’s accounting estimates or accounting principles. Senior employees of Harris and the Company with responsibility for accounting and financial reporting shall consult with each other (and their respective auditors, if requested) with respect to any such proposed determination or change. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the Company shall not make any such determination or changes without the prior written consent of Harris if such a determination or change would be sufficiently material to be required to be disclosed in financial statements or other disclosure documents filed by the Company or Harris with the SEC.
      (j)     Auditors. Ernst & Young shall initially serve as the independent certified public accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Auditors”). The Company shall thereafter maintain as the Company Auditors the same firm (and its affiliated firms) as Harris appoints to act as the independent certified public accountants for Harris and its Subsidiaries, unless and until the audit committee of the Company determines in good faith that it is required by Law or that it is in the best interest of the stockholders of the Company to appoint a different independent certified public accountant for the Company than that appointed by Harris for Harris and its Subsidiaries. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable the Company Auditors to complete their audit such that they may date their opinion on the audited financial statements of the Company (the “Annual Financial Statements”) on the same date that Harris’ independent certified public accountants (the “Harris Auditors”) date their opinion on the audited annual financial statements of Harris (the “Harris Annual Statements”) and to enable Harris to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of the Harris Annual Statements, all in accordance with this Agreement and as required by applicable Law. The Company shall request that the Company Auditors date their opinion on the Annual Financial Statements on the same date that the Harris Auditors date their opinion on the Harris Annual Statements. The Company shall provide to Harris on a timely basis all information Harris reasonably requires to meet its schedule for the preparation, printing, filing and public dissemination of the Harris Annual Statements in accordance with this Agreement and as required by applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall provide all required financial information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Company Auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit the Company Auditors to take all steps and perform all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to Harris Auditors with respect to information to be included or contained in the Harris Annual Statements. The Company shall authorize the Company Auditors to make available to the Harris Auditors both the personnel who performed, or are performing, the annual audit of the Company and work papers related to the annual audit of the Company, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to the opinion date for the Company Auditors, so that the Harris Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of the Company Auditors as it relates to the report of the Harris Auditors on the Harris financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable Harris to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of the Harris Annual Statements.

      (k) Inaccuracies. If Harris determines in good faith that there may be an inaccuracy in any financial statements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any deficiency in the internal accounting controls or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could materially impact Harris’ financial statements, then upon request the Company shall provide to Harris’ internal auditors access to the books and records of Harris and its Subsidiaries so that Harris may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements provided by the Company under this Agreement as well as to the internal accounting controls and operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Harris shall be responsible for the fees and expense of its internal auditors in connection with such audits but shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any expenses incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection therewith.
      (l) Information for Equity Accounting Periods. The Company shall provide to Harris on a timely basis all information Harris reasonably requires to meet its schedule for the preparation, printing, filing and public dissemination of the Harris Annual Statements in accordance with this Agreement and as required by applicable Law, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall provide all required financial information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Company Auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit the Company Auditors to take all steps and perform all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to Harris Auditors with respect to information to be included or contained in the Harris Annual Statements.
      (m) Certifications. The Company shall provide to Harris certifications from appropriate employees of the Company, at the times and in form and substance reasonably requested by Harris, to provide backup support for any certifications by any officers of Harris which are required to be included as part of, or as an exhibit to, any report filed by Harris under the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act, Item 601 of Regulation S-K or any successor or additional rule or regulation; provided, however, that such employees need only provide such certifications to the extent they believe they accurately characterize the matters described therein.
      (n) Nonpublic Information. Each party recognizes that information shared pursuant to this Article IV may constitute material nonpublic inside information, and will use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to treat such material nonpublic information as confidential, (ii) in the case of Stratex only, not to disclose it to any Person who is not an employee or director of such party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their advisers who need to know such information for purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.6. and (iii) in the case of Harris only, not to disclose it to any Person who is not an employee or director of such party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their advisers who need to know such information for purposes of advising Harris with respect to its investment in the Company or carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.6.
      4.7.     Option Exercise. If and to the extent the Company shall determine to use the proceeds from the exercise of any options to acquire Common Stock to repurchase shares of Class A Common Stock in the market at the then prevailing market price, at the request of Harris or otherwise, such determination or repurchase shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate Transaction or a breach by Harris or any Class B Director of any duty or obligation they may have to the Company or its stockholders.
ARTICLE V
Miscellaneous
      5.1.     Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the first time at which the Total Voting Power of Voting Securities owned by Harris, its Affiliates and their respective Nominees collectively represent less than 10% of the Total Voting Power.
      5.2.     Governing Law and Venue; Waiver Of Jury Trial. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. The

The parties hereby consent to and grant any Delaware Court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 5.7 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
      (b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

      5.3.     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If necessary to effect the intent of the parties, the parties will negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to replace the unenforceable language with enforceable language which as closely as possible reflects such intent.
      5.4.     Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or any performance, term or condition waived in whole or in part only by a writing signed by persons authorized to so bind each party (in the case of an amendment) or the waiving party (in the case of a waiver). Any such amendment or waiver by the Company shall require the prior approval of a majority of the Class A Directors. No failure or delay by any party to take any action with respect to a breach by another party of this Agreement or a default by another party hereunder shall constitute a waiver of the former party’s right to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to take action with respect to such breach or default or any subsequent breach or default. Waiver by any party of any breach or failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement by another party shall not be construed as, or constitute, a continuing wavier of such provisions, or a waiver of any other breach of or failure to comply with any other provisions of this Agreement.
      5.5.     Assignment. Harris shall be entitled to assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person to whom it transfers all of the ownership interests in the Company then owned by Harris and its Affiliates if such Person delivers a written undertaking to the Company in which such Person expressly assumes all of Harris’ obligations under this Agreement, and from and after such a

transfer all references herein to Harris shall be deemed to be references to such Person. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no party may assign this Agreement or any rights, benefits, obligations or remedies hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that no such consent shall be required for a transfer by operation of Law in connection with a merger or consolidation of such party. Any attempt so to assign or to delegate any of the foregoing without such consent shall be void and of no effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. All certificates representing shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall bear an appropriate legend with respect thereto.
      5.6.     No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
      NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT, dated as of January 26, 2007 (this “Agreement”), among HARRIS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Harris”), STRATEX NETWORKS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Stratex”), and HARRIS STRATEX NETWORKS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
      WHEREAS, Harris, Stratex, the Company and Stratex Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company have entered into an Amended and Restated Formation, Contribution and Merger Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2006, as amended by that certain letter agreement, dated January 26, 2007 (the “Formation Agreement”), among the parties thereto pursuant to which the Company was formed to acquire Stratex pursuant to the Merger and to receive the Contributed Assets from Harris in the Contribution Transaction, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Formation Agreement;
      WHEREAS, because of the importance of preserving the value of the business being contributed by Harris as a going concern, Stratex was not willing to enter into the Formation Agreement without the undertakings of Harris contained in this Agreement; and
      WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to closing under the Formation Agreement.
      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants in the Agreements, the parties agree as follows:
      1. Definitions. The term “Restricted Business” means the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of any microwave radio systems and related components, systems and services which are (i) competitive with the products listed in Schedule 1 hereto, or (ii) which are substantially similar to such products in form, fit and function when used in terrestrial microwave point-to-point communications networks that provide access and trunking of voice and data for telecommunications networks anywhere in the world. In addition, all capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Formation Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a Subsidiary or Affiliate of Harris or any of its other Subsidiaries or Affiliates for purposes of this Agreement.
      2. Non-Competition. In consideration for the issuance to Harris of shares of the Company pursuant to the Formation Agreement and the performance by Stratex of its obligations under the Agreements (collectively, the “Non-Compete Consideration”), Harris agrees that, during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, Harris will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to (a) engage, directly or indirectly, in the Restricted Business, (b) form any Person other than the Company and its Subsidiaries (a “Covered Person”) or change or extend the current business activities of any existing Covered Person for the purpose of engaging, directly or indirectly, in the Restricted Business or (c) invest, directly or indirectly, in any Covered Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in the Restricted Business in any material respect; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing Harris and/or its Subsidiaries may (i) collectively own less than 20% of the total equity interests in any Covered Person engaged in the Restricted Business as long as none of the employees of Harris or any of its Subsidiaries is involved in the management of such Covered Person, (ii) participate as a passive investor with no management rights in any investment fund that holds an ownership interests in Covered Persons engaged in the Restricted Business which is managed by Persons that are not Affiliates of Harris (each, an “Unaffiliated Person”) (x) with any employee benefit or retirement plan funds and (y) with any other funds subject, in the case of this clause (y) only, to a maximum interest in such investment fund of 15% and (iii) acquire a Covered Person or business unit of a Covered Person engaged in the Restricted Business if (x) the Restricted Business contributed less than 20% of such Covered Person’s or business unit’s, as applicable, total revenues (based on its latest annual audited financial statements, if available) and (y) such Covered Person or Harris, as applicable, divests or ceases to conduct the Restricted Business within 18 months after the acquisition date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the defined term “Restricted Business” shall not include, and the prohibition contained in this Section 2 shall in no way prohibit Harris and/or its Subsidiaries from,

F-2


 

(a) purchasing and reselling products produced by, and marked with the brands of, an Unaffiliated Person in connection with the sale, service, design or maintenance of a system that contains or uses microwave radios or related components, systems or services or (b) developing, manufacturing, distributing or selling microwave radios or related components, systems or services for use by Government Entities.
      3. Sufficiency of Consideration. Each of the parties acknowledges that the Non-Compete Consideration is sufficient consideration for the duration and scope of the non-competition agreement contained herein and that such duration and scope are reasonable in all respects.
      4. Severability; Enforceability. If any provision of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court or authority making such determination will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision or to delete specific words or phrases as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such provision or part to be valid and enforceable. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, in so far as possible, reflect the original intent of this Agreement without violating applicable law.
      5. Availability of Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto acknowledge and recognize that irreparable damage could result to the Company and its Subsidiaries, businesses and properties if Harris fails or refuses to perform its obligations under this Agreement and that no adequate remedy at law will exist for any breach by Harris of this Agreement. In addition to any other rights or remedies and damages available, the Company shall be entitled to appropriate injunctive relief, including preliminary and mandatory injunctive relief, enjoining or restraining Harris or any of its Subsidiaries from any violation or threatened violation of this Agreement.
      6. Governing Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware (collectively, the “Delaware Courts”) solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in any Delaware Court or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any Delaware Court; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing each party agrees that any claim which primarily seeks injunctive relief and related monetary claims that cannot be brought in any Delaware Court for jurisdiction reasons may be commenced, heard and determined in any other court having proper jurisdiction over such claim. The parties hereby consent to and grant any Delaware Court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 12 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
      (b) Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) each party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) each party makes this waiver voluntarily, and

F-3


 

(iv) each party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 6.
      7. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or any performance, term or condition waived in whole or in part only by a writing signed by persons authorized to so bind each party (in the case of an amendment) or the waiving party (in the case of a waiver). No failure or delay by any party to take any action with respect to a breach by another party of this Agreement or a default by another party hereunder shall constitute a waiver of the former party’s right to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to take action with respect to such breach or default or any subsequent breach or default. Waiver by any party of any breach or failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement by another party shall not be construed as, or constitute, a continuing wavier of such provisions, or a waiver of any other breach of or failure to comply with any other provisions of this Agreement.
      8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
      9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).
      10. Successors in Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon and enforceable against the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party hereto.
      11. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall not confer upon any other person any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement or other right. The Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any third party beneficiaries or to provide to any third parties with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right or privilege.
      12. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the others shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail or by overnight courier, postage prepaid, or by facsimile:

In order to exercise such right, the Holder (the “Demanding Holder”) must give written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”) requesting that the Company register under the Securities Act the offer and sale of Registrable Securities (i)

-4-


 

having a market value on the date the Demand Notice is received (the “Demand Date”) of at least $50 million based on the then prevailing market price, (ii) representing at least 5% of the outstanding Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) or (iii) representing all of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder and its Affiliates. Upon receipt of the Demand Notice, the Company shall (i) promptly notify the other Holders of the receipt of such Demand Notice, (ii) prepare and file with the Commission as soon as practicable and in no event later than 90 days after the Demand Date a Demand Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Applicable Securities on any available form requested by the Demanding Holder (which may include a “shelf” Registration Statement under Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act solely for use in connection with delayed underwritten offerings under Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act) and (iii) use reasonable efforts to cause such Demand Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to have each Demand Registration Statement remain effective until the earlier of (i) two years (in the case of a shelf Demand Registration Statement) or 90 days (in the case of any other Demand Registration Statement) from the Effective Time of such Registration Statement and (ii) such time as all of the Applicable Securities have been disposed of by the Electing Holders.
     (b) The Company shall have the right to postpone (or, if necessary or advisable, withdraw) the filing, or to delay the effectiveness, of a Registration Statement or offers and sales of Applicable Securities registered under a shelf Demand Registration Statement if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that such Registration would interfere with any pending financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or would otherwise be seriously detrimental to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and furnishes to the Electing Holders a copy of a resolution of the board of directors of the Company setting forth such determination; provided, however, that the Company may postpone a Demand Registration or offers and sales of Applicable Securities under a shelf Demand Registration Statement no more than once in any 12 month period and that no single postponement shall exceed 90 days in the aggregate. The Company shall advise the Electing Holders of any such determination as promptly as practicable.
     (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action under this Section 2:
  (i)   with respect to more than four non-shelf Demand Registration Statements relating to underwritten offerings which have become effective and which covered all the Registrable Securities requesting to be included therein, or
 
  (ii)   with respect to more than two shelf Demand Registration Statements which have become and remained effective as required by this Agreement.
     (d) The Company may include in any registration requested pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof other securities for sale for its own account or for the account of another Person, subject to the following sentence. In connection with an underwritten offering, if the managing

-5-


 

underwriter advises the Company and the Electing Holders in writing that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be registered exceeds the maximum number which can be sold in such offering without materially adversely affecting the pricing, timing or likely success of the offering (with respect to any offering, the “Maximum Number”), the Company shall include such Maximum Number in such Registration as follows: (i) first, the Applicable Securities requested to be registered by the Demanding Holder, (ii) second, the Applicable Securities requested to be included by any other Electing Holders, if any, (iii) third, any securities proposed to be included by the Company and (iv) fourth, any other securities requested to be included in such Registration. For purposes of this Agreement, an “underwritten offering” shall be an offering pursuant to which securities are sold to a broker-dealer or other financial institution or group thereof for resale by them to investors.
     (e) The Demanding Holder shall have the right to withdraw its Demand Notice (in which case such Demand Notice shall be deemed never to have been given for purposes of Section 2(a)) (i) at any time prior to the time the Demand Registration Statement has been declared or becomes effective if the Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it prior to such withdrawal in effecting such Registration, (ii) upon the issuance by the Commission or any court or other governmental agency or authority of a stop order, injunction or other order which prohibits or interferes with such Registration, (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied other than as a result of default by the Demanding Holder, (iv) there has been a material adverse change in market conditions or in the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects since the date of such Demand Notice, or (v) if the Company exercises any of its rights under Section 2(b) of this Agreement. If the Holders withdraw a Demand Notice pursuant to this Section 2(e) and the Company nevertheless decides to continue with the Registration as to securities other than the Applicable Securities, then the Holders shall be entitled to participate in such Registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof, but in such case the Intended Offering Notice must be given to the Holders at least 10 business days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement and the Holders shall be required to give the Piggyback Notice no later than five business days after the Company’s delivery of such Intended Offering Notice.
     (f) If any Registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall relate to an underwritten offering, the Demanding Holder shall select the managing underwriter or underwriters with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the right of any other Holder to participate therein shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in the underwriting agreements and arrangements required by this Agreement.
     3. Piggyback Registrations. (a) If at any time the Company intends to file on its behalf or on behalf of any holder of its securities a Registration Statement under the Securities Act in connection with a public offering of any securities of the Company (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or their successor forms), then the Company shall give written notice of such intention (an “Intended Offering Notice”) to each Holder at least

-6-


 

20 business days prior to the date such Registration Statement is filed. Such Intended Offering Notice shall offer to include in such Registration Statement for offer to the public the number or amount of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request, subject to the conditions set forth herein, and shall specify, to the extent then known, the number and class of securities proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement, any proposed means of distribution of such securities, any proposed managing underwriter or underwriters of such securities, together with a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed maximum offering price of such securities. Any Holder that elects to have its Registrable Securities offered and sold pursuant to such Registration Statement shall so advise the Company in writing (such written notice from any such Holder being a “Piggyback Notice”) not later than seven business days after the date on which such Holder received the Intended Offering Notice, setting forth the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder desires to have offered and sold pursuant to such Registration Statement. Upon the request of the Company, the Electing Holders shall enter into such underwriting, custody and other agreements as shall be customary in connection with registered secondary offerings or necessary or appropriate in connection with the offering. Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its Applicable Securities from any Registration pursuant to this Section 3 at any time prior to the sale thereof (or, if applicable, the entry into a binding agreement for such sale). If any Registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall relate to an underwritten offering, the right of any Holder to participate therein shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in the underwriting agreements and arrangements required by this Agreement.
     (b) In connection with an underwritten offering, if the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Company in writing that in its or their opinion the number of securities proposed to be registered exceeds the Maximum Number with respect to such offering, the Company shall include in such Registration such Maximum Number as follows: (i) first, the securities that the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Applicable Securities requested to be included in such Registration pro rata among the Electing Holders thereof based on the respective amount of Applicable Securities owned by them and (iii) third, if any, securities held by other holders of securities of the Company who have requested that their securities be included in such Registration Statement and who hold contractual registration rights with respect to such securities.
     (c) The rights of the Holders pursuant to Section 2 hereof and this Section 3 are cumulative, and the exercise of rights under one such Section shall not exclude the subsequent exercise of rights under the other such Section (except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may abandon and/or withdraw any registration as to which rights under Section 3 may exist (or have been exercised) at any time and for any reason without liability hereunder. In such event, the Company shall notify each Holder that has delivered a Piggyback Notice to participate therein. No Registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Section 3 shall be deemed to be, or shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect, a Registration upon request under Section 2 hereof. The Company may enter into other registration rights agreements; provided,

-7-


 

however, that the rights and benefits of a holder of securities of the Company with respect to registration of such securities as contained in any such other agreement shall not be inconsistent with, or adversely affect, the rights and benefits of holders of Registrable Securities as contained in this Agreement.
     4. Registration Procedures. In connection with a Registration Statement, the following provisions shall apply:
     (a) Each Electing Holder shall in a timely manner (i) deliver to the Company and its counsel a duly completed copy of any form of notice and questionnaire reasonably requested by the Company and (ii) provide the Company and its counsel with such other information as to itself as may be required by law for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
     (b) The Company shall furnish to each Electing Holder, prior to the Effective Time, a copy of the Registration Statement initially filed with the Commission, and shall furnish to such Electing Holders copies of each amendment thereto and each amendment or supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein.
     (c) The Company shall promptly take such action as may be reasonably necessary so that (i) each of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and the Prospectus forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto (and each report or other document incorporated therein by reference in each case), when it becomes effective, complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the respective rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) each of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) each of the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, does not at any time during the period during which the Company is required to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective under Section 2(a) (other than any period during which it is entitled and elects to postpone offers and sales under Section 2(b) (each, a “Postponement Period”)) include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
     (d) The Company shall, promptly upon learning thereof, advise each Electing Holder, and shall confirm such advice in writing if so requested by any such Electing Holder:
  (i)   when the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
 
  (ii)   of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein or for additional information;

-8-


 

  (iii)   of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
 
  (iv)   of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the securities included in the Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose;
 
  (v)   following the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, of the happening of any event or the existence of any state of facts that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein so that, as of such date, such Registration Statement and Prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (which advice shall be accompanied by an instruction to such Electing Holders to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made which instruction such Electing Holders agree to follow); and
 
  (vi)   if at any time any of the representations and warranties of the Company contemplated by paragraph (l) below cease to be true and correct or will not be true and correct as of the closing date for the offering.
     (e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance, and if issued to obtain the withdrawal, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time.
     (f) The Company shall furnish to each Electing Holder, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement and all post-effective amendments thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if such Electing Holder so requests in writing, all reports, other documents and exhibits that are filed with or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
     (g) The Company shall, during the period during which the Company is required to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective under Section 2(a) or elects to keep effective under Section 3(a), deliver to each Electing Holder and any managing underwriter or agent, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) included in the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto and other documents as they may reasonably request to facilitate the distribution of the Registrable Securities; and the Company consents (except during the continuance of any event described in Section 4(d)(v) hereof) to the use of the Prospectus, with any amendment or supplement thereto, by each of the Electing Holders and any managing underwriter or agent in connection with the

-9-


 

offering and sale of the Applicable Securities covered by the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto during such period.
     (h) Prior to any offering of Applicable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company shall (i) use reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Electing Holders and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Applicable Securities for offer and sale under any applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Electing Holder may reasonably request, (ii) use reasonable efforts to keep such registrations or qualifications in effect and comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of offers and sales in such jurisdictions for the period during which the Company is required to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective under Section 2(a) or elects to keep effective under Section 3(a) and (iii) take any and all other actions reasonably requested by an Electing Holder which are necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Applicable Securities; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 4(h) shall require the Company to (A) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(h) or (B) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not then so subject.
     (i) The Company shall, if requested by the Electing Holders, use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Applicable Securities to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement to be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation service on which securities of the Company are listed or quoted.
     (j) The Company shall cooperate with the Electing Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Applicable Securities to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall comply with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation service on which any securities of the Company are listed and quoted, and which certificates shall be free of any restrictive legends and in such permitted denominations and registered in such names as Electing Holders or any managing underwriter or agent may request in connection with the sale of Applicable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
     (k) Upon the occurrence of any fact or event contemplated by Section 4(d)(v) hereof, the Company shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, after such amendment or supplement, such Registration Statement and Prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any such action during a Postponement Period (but it shall promptly thereafter). In the event that the Company notifies the Electing Holders of the occurrence of any fact or event contemplated by Section

-10-


 

4(d)(v) hereof, each Electing Holder agrees, as a condition of the inclusion of any of such Electing Holder’s Applicable Securities in the Registration Statement, to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes to the Prospectus have been made.
     (l) The Company shall, together with all Electing Holders, enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form in the event of an underwritten offering) and take all other reasonable and appropriate action in order to expedite and facilitate the registration and disposition of the Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification provisions and procedures substantially similar to those set forth in Section 6 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6 hereof. In addition, in such agreements, the Company will make such representations and warranties to the Electing Holder(s) and the underwriters or agents, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in primary equity offerings. The Electing Holder(s) shall be party to such agreements and may, at their option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of the Electing Holders and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of the Electing Holders. No Electing Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters or agents other than representations, warranties or agreements relating to such Electing Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution or any other representations required by law.
     (m) If requested by the managing underwriter in any underwritten offering, the Company and each Holder (whether or not an Electing Holder) will agree to such limitations on sale, transfer, short sale, hedging, option, swap and other transactions as are then customary in underwriting agreements for registered underwritten offerings; provided, however, that such limitations shall not continue beyond the 180th day after the effective date of the Registration Statement in question or, if later, the commencement of the public distribution of securities to the extent timely notified in writing by the managing underwriters.
     (n) The Company shall use best efforts to:
  (i)   (A) make reasonably available for inspection by Electing Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (B) cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to participate in road shows or other customary marketing activities and to supply all information reasonably requested by such Electing Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Registration Statement as is customary for similar due

-11-


 

      diligence examinations; provided, however, that all records, information and documents that are designated by the Company, in good faith, as confidential shall be kept confidential by such Holders and any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is required in connection with a court proceeding after such advance notice to the Company (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) so as to permit the Company to contest the same, or required by law, or such records, information or documents become available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality; and provided further that, the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall, to the greatest extent possible, be coordinated on behalf of the Electing Holders and the other parties entitled thereto by one counsel designated by and on behalf of the Electing Holders and such other parties;
  (ii)   in connection with any underwritten offering, obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters) addressed to the underwriters, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in secondary underwritten offerings of equity securities, to the extent reasonably required by the applicable underwriting agreement;
 
  (iii)   in connection with any underwritten offering, obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, from the independent public accountants of any Subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to each Electing Holder participating in such underwritten offering (if such Electing Holder has provided such letter, representations or documentation, if any, required for such cold comfort letter to be so addressed) and the underwriters, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with secondary underwritten offerings of equity securities;
 
  (iv)   in connection with any underwritten offering, deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by any Electing Holders participating in such underwritten offering and the underwriters, if any, including, without limitation, certificates to evidence compliance with any conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreements entered into by the Company; and
 
  (v)   use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security holders, as

-12-


 

      soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than fifteen months) after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
     (o) Not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company shall provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities and provide the applicable transfer agent with printed certificates for the Registrable Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.
     (p) The Company shall cooperate with each Electing Holder and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD.
     (q) As promptly as practicable after filing with the Commission of any document which is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company shall provide copies of such document to counsel for each Electing Holder and to the managing underwriters and agents, if any.
     (r) The Company shall provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.
     (s) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the timely registration, offering and sale of the Applicable Securities covered by the Registration Statements contemplated hereby.
     5. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all of the Registration Expenses and all other expenses incurred by it in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The Electing Holders shall bear all other expenses relating to any Registration or sale in which such Electing Holders participate, including without limitation the fees and expenses of counsel to such Electing Holders and any applicable underwriting discounts or commissions.
     6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Upon the Registration of Applicable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 hereof, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Electing Holder and each underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional, if any, which facilitates the disposition of Applicable Securities, and each of their respective officers and directors and each person who controls such Electing Holder, underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such Person, an “Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue

-13-


 

statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Applicable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act, or any Prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any Indemnified Person, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person or its agent expressly for use therein; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon the use of any Prospectus after such time as the Company has advised the Electing Holder in writing that a post-effective amendment or supplement thereto is required, except such Prospectus as so amended or supplemented.
     (b) Each Electing Holder agrees, as a consequence of the inclusion of any of such Holder’s Applicable Securities in such Registration Statement, and shall cause each underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional, if any, which facilitates the disposition of Applicable Securities shall agree, as a consequence of facilitating such disposition of Applicable Securities, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder, underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional, as applicable, expressly for use therein; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the maximum aggregate amount that any Electing Holder shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 6 in respect of any Registration shall be the net proceeds received by such Electing Holder from sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration.
     (c) Promptly after receipt by any Person entitled to indemnity under Section 6(a) or (b) hereof (an “Indemnitee”) of any notice of the commencement of any action or claim, such

-14-


 

Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person under this Section 6 (an “Indemnitor”), notify such Indemnitor in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnitee except to the extent the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnitee and it shall notify an Indemnitor of the commencement thereof, such Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other Indemnitor similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee (which shall not be counsel to the Indemnitor without the consent of the Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). After notice from the Indemnitor to such Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such Indemnitor shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Section 6 or otherwise for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee, in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless the Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that representation of the Indemnitee by counsel provided by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel at any time for all Indemnitees, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to their regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action. No Indemnitor shall, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. No indemnification shall be available in respect of any settlement of any action or claim effected by an Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee under Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each Indemnitor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or

-15-


 

alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnitor or by such Indemnitee, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Electing Holders or any underwriters, selling agents or other securities professionals or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnitee as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Electing Holders and any underwriters, selling agents or other securities professionals in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the percentage of Applicable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint.
     7. Miscellaneous. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware State or Federal court. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 7(d) or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
     (b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT,

-16-


 

OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7(A) AND SECTION 7(B).
     (c) This Agreement may be amended, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given, only by a written instrument duly executed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, or in the case of a waiver or consent, by the party against whom such waiver or consent is to be effective. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 7(c), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment, waiver or consent appears on the Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder. Waiver by any party of any breach in accordance with this Section 7(c) or failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement by another party shall not be construed as, or constitute, a continuing wavier of such provisions, or a waiver of any other breach of or failure to comply with any other provisions of this Agreement.
     (d) All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be effective (a) when delivered, (b) when transmitted via telecopy (or other facsimile device) to the number set out below if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (c) the day following the day on which the same has been delivered prepaid to a reputable national overnight air courier service or (d) the third Business Day following the day on which the same is sent by certified or registered mail or by overnight courier, postage prepaid, in each case to the respective parties at the address set forth below, or at such other address as such party may specify by written notice to the other party hereto:

     (e) Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to assign all or any part of its rights hereunder to any person in connection with any transfer to such person of Registrable Securities permitted by Law and the Investor Agreement and upon any such assignment and transfer such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits so assigned, and shall be bound by the terms and provisions of, this Agreement; provided, however, that no such assignment of rights hereunder may be made if it would result in their being more than four Holders (treating any Holder and its Affiliates collectively as one Holders). Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable and there shall be no third party beneficiaries hereto. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the legal successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto and any Holder.
     (f) This Agreement may be executed by the parties in any number of separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
     (g) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
     (h) In any action or proceeding related to or arising out of the enforcement of, or defense against, any provision of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall pay, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to, all reasonable out-of-pocket

-18-


 

costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the prevailing party incurred in connection with such action or proceeding.
     (i) The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or entity or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (i) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable the intent of such provision and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons, entities or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
     (j) The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other provisions set forth in this Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Electing Holder, any director, officer or partner of such Electing Holder, any agent or underwriter, any director, officer or partner of such agent or underwriter, or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive the transfer and registration of the Applicable Securities of such Holder.
     (k) This Agreement has been negotiated by the parties and their respective counsel in good faith and will be fairly interpreted in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against any party. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
     (l) Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that because the obligations undertaken by them hereunder are unique and the breach of any such obligations would cause irreparable harm and significant injury that would be difficult to ascertain and would not be adequately compensable by damages alone, each party will have the right to enforce such provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies the enforcing party may have.
