Employment Agreement

Dear Chuck:

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the terms of your continued employment with Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), as well as our understanding with respect to any termination of that employment relationship. This Agreement amends and restates the Employment Agreement, dated August 1, 2010, between the Company and you, effective on July 18, 2011 and is conditioned upon your timely delivery of the General Release of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release Agreement”) which becomes valid and irrevocable according to the terms set forth in the Release Agreement.

1. Position and Duties. As of July 18, 2011 your employment as the Chief Executive Officer shall terminate and, commencing on July 19, 2011, and during the term of this Agreement, you will continue to be employed by the Company on a part-time basis as its Chairman of the Board, reporting to the Board of Directors. This position will be based at our corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California. You will also continue to serve as a director of the Company, and your positions of Chairman of the Board and director will be subject to the normal re-nomination process of the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, and, in the case of your position as a director, election by the Company’s shareholders. You agree to continue providing services to the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and you agree not to engage in any business, other employment or other activities which would conflict with your obligations to the Company or create an actual or the appearance of a conflict of interest with the Company’s interests or your employment relationship with the Company. During the term of this Agreement, your primary responsibilities will be to support investor relations, support the Company’s strategic review process and mentor the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company. These duties will be in addition to the usual and customary obligations you will have as a director and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. From and after the end of the term of this Agreement, you will have no further duties as an employee of the Company, and your sole service relationship to the Company will be that of a director and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, which positions will be subject to the normal re-nomination process of the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and, in the case of your position as a director, election by the Company’s shareholders.

Employment Agreement

2. Term. This Agreement will be effective from July 18, 2011 until July 18, 2012, during which time your employment with the Company will be part-time and at will, which means that your employment may be terminated by you or the Company at any time, with or without cause or notice, subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 4 and 5 below.

3. Compensation. During the term of this Agreement, you will be compensated by the Company for your services as described below. From and after the end of the term of this Agreement, you will be eligible to receive such cash and equity compensation as is usual and customary for similarly situated non-employee directors of the Company (including, as applicable, supplemental compensation for your services as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company), so long as you are serving as a director of the Company.

(a) Salary: You will be paid a base salary at an annual rate of $350,000 (payable in substantially equal installments of $29,166 per month), less applicable withholding, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures and applicable law. Your base salary will not be reduced except as part of a salary reduction program that similarly affects all members of the executive staff reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

(b) Non-Employee Director Equity Awards: Subject to Board approval each year, you will be eligible to participate in the equity award plan for non-employee directors on the same basis and to the same extent as non-employee directors of the Company; provided, however, that you will be eligible to receive a pro rata award under the terms of such equity award plan in respect of the period from the effective date of this Agreement to the date on which annual awards will be made in the ordinary course to all non-employee directors.

(c) Long-Term Incentive Program:

(i) Existing time-based awards: Notwithstanding the terms of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) or any award agreement to the contrary, awards of options and restricted stock that have been granted to you under the terms of the LTIP that are currently outstanding and that vest based on your continued service to the Company (the “Time-based Vesting Awards”) shall continue to vest based upon their respective original vesting schedules during the term of your employment hereunder and during your subsequent service as a non-employee director of the Company; provided that the unvested portions of your Time-based Vesting award granted on February 10, 2011 (the “February Awards”) shall no longer vest on their original vesting dates but shall instead vest on the modified vesting dates as set forth below; and provided, further, that in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs during the term of this Agreement and in connection with such Change of Control your compensation under this Agreement ceases, such outstanding Time-based Vesting Awards shall immediately become fully exercisable or shall cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, as the case may be.

(ii) Existing performance-based awards: Notwithstanding the terms of the LTIP or any award agreement to the contrary, with respect to awards that have been granted to you under the terms of the LTIP that are currently outstanding and that vest based on satisfaction of performance criteria (the “Performance-based Vesting Awards”), the vesting of such Performance-based Vesting Awards will be prorated based on your service as a full-time or part-time employee of the Company from June 28, 2010 to the date of termination of the term hereunder; provided, that no Performance-based Vesting Awards will vest under any circumstances unless the minimum applicable performance threshold has been satisfied.

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

(e) Vacation: During the term of this Agreement, you will accrue paid vacation at the rate of five (5) weeks per year. All accrued unused vacation existing prior to the commencement of the term of this Agreement will carry forward in accordance with the terms of the Company vacation policy.

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

those earned under Paragraph 3 through the date of termination. You agree that if you voluntarily terminate your employment with the Company for any reason, you will provide the Company with at least 10 business days’ written notice of your resignation. The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to make your resignation effective at any time prior to the end of such notice period, provided the Company pays you an amount equal to the base salary and benefits you would have earned through the end of the notice period.

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

(a) Termination by Disability: If, by reason of any physical or mental incapacity, you have been or will be prevented from performing your then-current duties under this Agreement with reasonable accommodation, then, to the extent permitted by law, the Company may terminate your employment without any advance notice. Upon such termination, if you sign a general release of known and unknown claims in a form satisfactory to the Company which becomes valid and irrevocable within 60 days of your termination, and you fully comply with your obligations under Paragraphs 7, 8, and 10, the Company will provide you with the severance payments and benefits described in Paragraph 5(c). Nothing in this paragraph shall affect your rights under any applicable Company disability plan; provided, however, that your severance payments will be offset by any disability income payments received by you so that the total monthly severance and disability income payments during your severance period shall not exceed your then-current base salary.

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

(ii) monthly, taxable payments to you with which you may purchase health insurance under COBRA, to the extent available, or not at all, in an amount not to exceed the monthly cost to provide you with health insurance coverage immediately prior to your termination of employment with the Company, until the earlier of (x) the end of the term of this Agreement; or (y) the date you first became eligible to participate in another employer’s group health insurance plan; or (z) the date on which you are no longer eligible for COBRA coverage; provided, however, that such payment shall be subject to and paid only if and to the extent permitted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, and other applicable law; and

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

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

(d) Following termination of your employment with the Company, if you are eligible to receive a severance benefit, you will be required to timely sign and not revoke a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company in order to receive such severance benefit.

9. Limitation of Payments and Benefits.

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

(a) the full amount of the Payments, or

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

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

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

11. Dispute Resolution. The parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties’ employment relationship, or the termination of that relationship for any reason, shall be brought in the appropriate state or federal court appropriate for disputes arising in Santa Clara, California, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection they may have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. If any one or more provisions of this Paragraph 11 shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.

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

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

For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. With respect to any reimbursement of your expenses, or any provision of in-kind benefits to you, as specified under this Agreement, such reimbursement of expenses or provision of in-kind benefits shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except for any medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section

8

Charles D. Kissner

Employment Agreement

105(b) of the Code; (2) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

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

14. Confirmation of Rights which Are not Dependent Upon Signing a Release. Whether or not you sign a release as provided in Section 5 and Section 8(d) of this Agreement, (a) you will be paid all wages due, including any unused accrued vacation, as of your last day of work, (b) your health care coverage as a primary insured under the Company’s health plan will continue through the end of the month in which your last day of work falls, (c) thereafter, you will be eligible for continuation of health insurance at your own expense if you timely elect coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), and (d) you will receive information regarding your right to continue health insurance under COBRA.

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

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

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

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

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

6. Review Period, Acceptance, ADEA Waiver, Waiting and Revocation Period.

Employee acknowledges and understands that the release of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C.

Employee acknowledges that he has been advised by legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
