Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 27, 2007, Andrew Corporation entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment), effective as of June 30, 2007, with certain financial institutions named in the Third Amendment and Bank of America, National Association, as Administrative Agent, for the Lenders and as L/C Issuer. The Third Amendment amends in certain respects Andrew’s Credit Agreement dated as of September 29, 2005, which was filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Andrew’s Form 8-K filed on October 5, 2005, as amended by a First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of June 16, 2006, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Andrew’s Form 8-K filed on June 20, 2006, and a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 13, 2007, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Andrew’s Form 8-K filed on July 18, 2007 (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”). The Third Amendment amended the Credit Agreement in order to revise the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” solely for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.2.2 of the Credit Agreement.

In addition, the Administrative Agent and Lenders also waived any event of default under the Credit Facility occurring due to a change of control of Andrew resulting from any agreement entered into between Andrew and CommScope in furtherance of the CommScope Merger Transaction until the earlier to occur of the date of the consummation of the CommScope Merger Transaction and March 31, 2008 (unless the agreements concerning the CommScope Merger Transaction have been previously terminated).

The foregoing description of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated into this report by reference.
