The SDO suspended Herley Industries, Inc. effective 26 June 2007 pending the outcome of the investigation. Upon conclusion of its investigation, Herley terminated two of the employees for cause effective 20 July 2007. Herley suspended the third employee without pay for a period of 30 working days effective 23 July 2007, with a return to active employment on 4 September 2007 under a six month probationary period. During this probationary period, any infraction will be cause for termination. 2. Modifications. The Agreement Between Herley Industries, Inc. and the Department of the Navy dated October 12, 2006 (the "Administrative Agreement") regarding the present responsibility of Herley Industries, Inc. to contract with the Federal Government is amended to reflect the following: a.
