▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Stratex Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to issue and sell 2,581,780 Units (the “Units”), consisting of (i) 10,327,120 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) warrants to purchase 2,581,780 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”), directly to certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”). The Company desires to engage you as its placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with such issuance and sale. The Units are more fully described in the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined).

The Company has prepared and filed in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the published rules and regulations thereunder (the “Rules”) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) on Form S-3 (No. 333-50820) which became effective as of December 7, 2000 (the “Effective Date”), including a base prospectus relating to the Units (the “Base Prospectus”), and such amendments thereof as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. Copies of such Registration Statement (including all amendments thereof) and of the related Base Prospectus have heretofore been delivered by the Company to you. The term “Registration Statement” as used in this Agreement means the initial registration statement (including all exhibits, financial schedules and all documents and information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement through incorporation by reference or otherwise), as amended to the date of this Agreement, including the Base Prospectus. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement to register additional Units pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Rules (the “462(b) Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the Registration Statement shall also be deemed to include such 462(b) Registration Statement. The prospectus supplement relating to the Units as filed with the

Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus Supplement.” The term “Prospectus” as used in this Agreement means the Base Prospectus together with the Prospectus Supplement. As used herein, the terms “Base Prospectus,” “Prospectus,” “Registration Statement,” “Rule 462 Registration Statement,” and “Prospectus Supplement” shall include any documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act on or before the date of this Agreement, and any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after the date of the Base Prospectus by the Company with the Commission, that are deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

In connection with its obligations as Placement Agent hereunder, the Company hereby confirms that the Placement Agent is authorized to distribute the Prospectus (as from time to time amended or supplemented if the Company furnishes amendments or supplements thereto to the Placement Agent).

1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agent; Delivery and Payment. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement:

(a) The Placement Agent agrees to act as the Company’s exclusive Placement Agent in connection with the issuance and sale, on a reasonable efforts basis, by the Company of the Units to the Investors. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder is not an agreement by the Placement Agent or any of their affiliates to underwrite or purchase any securities or otherwise provide any financing. As compensation for their services hereunder, the Company agrees to pay on the Closing Date (as defined below) the Placement Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Units.

(b) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of the Units shall be made at a closing (the “Closing”) at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ at 9:00 a.m., California time, on the Closing Date to take place on the third or fourth business day (as permitted under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) after the determination of the public offering price of the Units (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called the “Closing Date”). All actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously.

(c) Payment of the purchase price for the Units shall be made to or upon the order of the Company by wire transfer in Federal (same day) funds to the Company, upon delivery the Shares, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company and the issuance of certificates for the Warrants, to such persons, and shall be registered in such name or names and shall be in such denominations, as the Placement Agent may request at least two business days before the Closing Date. Payment of the purchase price for the Units shall be made on the Closing Date by the Investors directly to the Company or as the Placement Agent shall otherwise direct.

(d) The purchases of the Units by the Investors may be evidenced by the execution of a purchase agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(e) Prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which this Agreement is terminated and (ii) the Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Placement Agent, solicit or accept offers to purchase shares of its Common Stock (other than pursuant to the exercise of options under existing employee benefit plans, purchases under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock that are outstanding at the date hereof) otherwise than through the Placement Agent.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Placement Agent as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

(a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. On the Effective Date, the Registration Statement complied, and on the date of the Prospectus, the date any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, the date any supplement or amendment to the Prospectus is filed with the Commission and the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Registration Statement did not, as of the Effective Date, 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; and on the Effective Date and the other dates referred to above neither the Registration Statement nor the Prospectus, nor any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or will omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. If applicable, when any preliminary prospectus was first filed with the Commission (whether filed as part of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or pursuant to Rule 424(a) of the Rules) and when any amendment thereof or supplement thereto was first filed with the Commission, such preliminary prospectus as amended or supplemented complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Rules and 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 therein not misleading. If applicable, each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Placement Agent for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. If Rule 434 is used, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 434 and the Prospectus shall not be “materially different,” as such term is used in Rule 434, from the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it became effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the representations and warranties in this Section 2(a) shall apply to statements in, or omissions from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information herein or otherwise furnished in writing by the Placement Agent specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. With respect to the preceding sentence, the Company acknowledges that the only information furnished in writing by the Placement Agent for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is the statements contained in the tenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement.

(b) The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act and no stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of the Prospectus has been issued by the Commission and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’ knowledge, are threatened under the Securities Act. Any required filing of the Prospectus and any supplement thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules has been or will be made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule 424(b).

(c) The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, at the time they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and none of such documents contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not 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, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(d) The financial statements of the Company (including all notes and schedules thereto) included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and Prospectus present fairly the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries at the dates indicated and the statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which are not expected to be material in amount); and such financial statements and related schedules and notes thereto, and the unaudited financial information filed with the Commission as part of the Registration Statement, have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied throughout the periods involved.

(e) Deloitte & Touche LLP, whose reports are filed with the Commission as a part of the Registration Statement, are and, during the periods covered by their reports, were independent public accountants as required by the Securities Act and the Rules and Rule 3600T of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

(f) The Company and each of its subsidiaries, including each entity (corporation, partnership, joint venture, association or other business organization) controlled directly or indirectly by the Company, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization. Each subsidiary of the Company that constitutes, and any group of subsidiaries of the Company that together

constitute, a “significant subsidiary” of the Company, as that term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Act, if any, are listed on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Significant Subsidiaries”). The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or location of the assets or properties owned, leased or licensed by it requires such qualification, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and to the Company’s knowledge, no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and authority or qualification.

(g) The Company and each of its subsidiaries has all requisite corporate power and authority, and all necessary authorizations, approvals, consents, orders, licenses, certificates and permits of and from all governmental or regulatory bodies or any other person or entity (collectively, the “Permits”), to own, lease and license its assets and properties and conduct its business, all of which are valid and in full force and effect, except where the lack of such Permits, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed in all material respects all of its material obligations with respect to such Permits and no event has occurred that allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other material impairment of the rights of the Company thereunder. Except as may be required under the Securities Act and state and foreign Blue Sky laws, no other Permits are required to enter into, deliver and perform this Agreement and to issue and sell the Units.

(h) The Company and each of its subsidiaries owns or possesses, or can acquire on reasonable market terms, adequate rights to use all patents, patent rights, inventions, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, service marks, copyrights, copyright applications, licenses, know-how and other similar rights and proprietary knowledge (collectively, “Intangibles”) necessary for the conduct of its business. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of, or is not aware of, any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intangibles. To the knowledge of the Company, each current and former employee of and consultant to the Company has executed the Company’s standard form of agreement containing confidentiality and invention assignment provisions, except where the failure of current or former employees or consultants to so execute such agreements would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, and, to knowledge of the Company, each current and former supplier and customer of the Company has executed the Company’s standard form of non-disclosure agreement, except where the failure of current or former suppliers or customers to execute such agreements would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) The Company and each of its subsidiaries has good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property, and good and marketable title to all other property owned by it, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims, security interests and defects, except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere

with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its subsidiaries. All property held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries is held by them under valid, existing and enforceable leases, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims, security interests and defects, except such as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, (i) there has not been any Material Adverse Effect; (ii) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sustained any loss or interference with its assets, businesses or properties (whether owned or leased) from fire, explosion, earthquake, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or any court or legislative or other governmental action, order or decree which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) except as disclosed in the Prospectus, since the date of the latest balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries has (A) issued any securities or incurred any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, for borrowed money, except such liabilities or obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, (B) entered into any transaction not in the ordinary course of business or (C) declared or paid any dividend or made any distribution on any shares of its stock or redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or agreed to redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of its capital stock.

(j) There is no document, contract or other agreement required to be described in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement which is not described or filed as required by the Securities Act or Rules. Each description of a contract, document or other agreement in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus accurately reflects in all material respects the terms of the underlying contract, document or other agreement. Each contract, document or other agreement described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus or listed in the Exhibits to the Registration Statement or incorporated by reference is in full force and effect and is valid and enforceable by and against the Company or its subsidiary, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries, if a subsidiary is a party, nor to the Company’s knowledge, any other party is in default in the observance or performance of any term or obligation to be performed by it under any such agreement, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default, in any such case which default or event, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No default exists, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default, in the due performance and observance of any term, covenant or condition, by the Company or its subsidiary, if a subsidiary is a party thereto, of any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or its properties or business or a subsidiary or its properties or business may be bound or affected which default or event, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(k) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any term or provision of (i) in the case of the Company, its Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and in the case of each of the Company’s subsidiaries, its charter or in either case, their respective by-laws or (ii) of any franchise, license, permit, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation, except, with respect to subsection (ii), where the consequences of such violation, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(l) Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale by the Company of the Units) will give rise to a right to terminate or accelerate the due date of any payment due under, or conflict with or result in the breach of any term or provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or require any consent or waiver under, or result in the execution or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any properties or assets of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which either the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their properties or businesses is bound, or any franchise, license, permit, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or violate any provision of, in the case of the Company, its Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and in the case of each of the Company’s subsidiaries, its charter or in either case, their respective by-laws, except for such consents or waivers which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect.

(m) As of August 31, 2004, the authorized capital stock of the Company consisted of (i) 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 84,289,082 shares of which were issued and outstanding, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, 200,000 of which were designated Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, none of which were issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no statutory preemptive or other similar rights to subscribe for or to purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any such rights pursuant to, in the case of the Company, its Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and in the case of each of the Company’s subsidiaries, its charter or in either case, their respective by-laws, or any agreement or instrument to or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or bound. The Units, when delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and none of them will be issued in violation of any preemptive or other similar right. The certificates evidencing the Shares and the certificates evidencing the Warrants are in due and proper legal form and have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there is no outstanding option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of, and there is no commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any share of stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any security convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such stock. The Common Stock and the Units conform in all material respects to all statements in relation thereto contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. All outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Company’s subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned directly by the Company or by another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company free and clear of any security interests, liens, encumbrances, equities or claims, other than those described in the Prospectus.

(n) No holder of any security of the Company has any right, which has not been waived, to have any security owned by such holder included in the Registration Statement or to demand registration of any security owned by such holder for a period of 90 days after the date of this Agreement. Each director and executive officer of the Company listed on Schedule II has delivered to the Placement Agent his or her enforceable written lock-up agreement in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B hereto (“Lock-Up Agreement”).

(o) All necessary corporate action has been duly and validly taken by the Company to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Units by the Company and the reservation for issuance, and issuance of the shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as rights to indemnity under Section 6 of the Agreement may be limited by applicable law and the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(p) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is involved in any labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the Company, is any such dispute threatened, which dispute would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its principal suppliers or contractors which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not aware of any threatened or pending litigation between the Company or its subsidiaries and any of its executive officers which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not aware that any of its executive officers presently intends to terminate his, her or their employment with the Company, nor does the Company have a present intention to terminate the employment of any such executive officer.

(q) No transaction has occurred between or among the Company and any of its officers or directors, stockholders or any affiliate or affiliates of any such officer or director or stockholder that is required to be described in and is not described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(r) The Company has not taken, nor will it take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock or any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Shares or the Warrants.

(s) The Company and each of its subsidiaries has filed all Federal, state, local and foreign tax returns which are required to be filed through the date hereof, which returns are true and correct in all material respects or has received timely extensions thereof, and has paid all taxes shown on such returns and all assessments received by it to the extent that the same are material and have become due. There are no tax audits or investigations pending, which if adversely determined would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; nor are there any material proposed additional tax assessments against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(t) The Company has filed a Notification Form: Listing of Additional Shares with respect to the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants for quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“Nasdaq”) National Market System.

(u) The Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or the quotation of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or the Nasdaq National Market is contemplating terminating such registration or quotation.

(v) The books, records and accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions in, and dispositions of, the assets of, and the results of operations of, the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

(w) The Company and its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are customary in the businesses in which they are engaged or propose to engage after giving effect to the transactions described in the Prospectus; all policies of insurance and fidelity or surety bonds insuring the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect; the Company and each of its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects; and neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that is not materially greater than the current cost. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.

(x) Each approval, consent, order, authorization, designation, declaration or filing of, by or with any regulatory, administrative or other governmental body necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated required to be obtained or performed by the Company (except such additional steps as may be necessary to qualify the Units under the state securities or Blue Sky laws) has been obtained or made and is in full force and effect.

(y) There are no affiliations with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under CERCLA.

(bb) In the ordinary course of its business, the Company periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, in the course of which the Company identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(jj) The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act), which (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared; (ii) provide for the periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of such disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each of the Company’s quarterly and annual fiscal periods; and (iii) are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established. Based on the evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, the Company is not aware of (i) any significant deficiency in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data or any material weaknesses in internal controls; or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls. Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

(kk) There are no material off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

(ll) The Company’s Board of Directors has validly appointed an audit committee whose composition satisfies the requirements of Rule 4350(d)(2) of the Rules of the NASD and the Board of Directors and/or the audit committee has adopted a charter that satisfies the requirements of Rule 4350(d)(1) of the NASD Rules. The audit committee has reviewed the adequacy of its charter within the past twelve months.

(mm) The chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company have made all certifications required by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act”) and any related rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission, and the statements contained in any such certification are complete and correct. The Company is otherwise in compliance in all material respects with all applicable effective provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act and is actively taking reasonable steps to ensure that it will be in compliance with other applicable provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act upon the effectiveness of such provisions.

(nn) The Company is not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or the Placement Agent for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the offering and sale of the Units.

3. Representations of the Placement Agent.

The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(iii) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Units is required to be delivered under the Securities Act and the Rules, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Rules, the Company promptly shall prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (ii) of this Section 5(a), an amendment or supplement which shall correct such statement or omission or an amendment which shall effect such compliance.

If applicable, the copies of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and each amendment and supplement thereto furnished to the Placement Agent will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(vi) The Company shall cooperate with the Placement Agent and its counsel in endeavoring to qualify the Units for offer and sale in connection with the offering under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Placement Agent may designate and shall maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Units; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith, as a condition thereof, to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or subject itself to taxation as doing business in any jurisdiction.

(vii) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act and the Rules or the Exchange Act, will file all reports and other documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

6. Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including any reasonable investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which they, or any of them, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky application or other information or other documents executed by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction to qualify any or all of the Units under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information being hereinafter referred to as a “Blue Sky Application”) or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of the Placement Agent (or any person controlling the Placement Agent) on account of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from the sale of the Units if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in any preliminary prospectus, Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or such amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Placement Agent specifically for use therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each director of the Company, and each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such party 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 any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, 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, 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 any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation of the Placement Agent to indemnify the Company (including any controlling person, director or officer thereof) shall be limited to the amount of placement agent fees actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served. No indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) or 6(b) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 6(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was prejudiced by the failure to give such notice but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party of any such action, suit or proceeding shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under this Section. In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and the approval by the indemnified party of such counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses, except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by such indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties, (ii) the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the

indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement thereof, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying parties. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, and proceeding or claim effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) or 6(b) is due in accordance with its terms but for any reason is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect to any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (including any investigation, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by any person entitled hereunder to contribution from any person who may be liable for contribution) incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other hand from the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of placement agent fees actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement. 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. For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 7, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties from whom contribution may

be sought shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this Section 7. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its written consent.

8. Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by the Placement Agent by notifying the Company at any time at or before the Closing Date in the absolute discretion of the Placement Agent if: (i) there has occurred any material adverse change in the securities markets or any event, act or occurrence that has materially disrupted, or in the reasonable opinion of the Placement Agent, will in the future materially disrupt, the securities markets or there shall be such a material adverse change in general financial, political or economic conditions or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Placement Agent, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Units or enforce contracts for the sale of the Units; (ii) there has occurred any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Placement Agent, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Units or enforce contracts for the sale of the Units; (iii) trading in the Shares or any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc. or the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or any other governmental or regulatory authority; (iv) a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or Federal authority; or (v) in the sole reasonable judgment of the Placement Agent, there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the assets, properties, condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition to the foregoing, this Agreement shall terminate in the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to October 31, 2004, or such other date as the Company and the Placement Agent shall agree to in writing. In such event, any funds deposited into any trust or escrow account on behalf of the Company will promptly be returned to the prospective purchasers of the Units.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any of its provisions, the Company shall not be under any liability to the Placement Agent, and the Placement Agent shall not be under any liability to the Company, except that if this Agreement is terminated by the Placement Agent because of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Placement Agent for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) incurred by it in connection with this Agreement and the proposed sale of the Units or in contemplation of performing its obligations hereunder.

9. [RESERVED]

10. Miscellaneous. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company and the Placement Agent, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them pursuant to this Agreement, 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 the Placement Agent or the Company or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Units. In addition, the provisions of Sections 5(b), 6, 7 and 8 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

The Company’s obligation to issue and sell the Shares and a Warrant to each Investor shall be subject to the following conditions, any one or more of which may be waived by the Company: (a) receipt by the Escrow Agent of a certified or official bank check or wire transfer of funds in the full amount of the purchase price for the Shares and the Warrant being purchased; (b) completion of the purchases and sales of Units under the Agreements that may be executed with the Other Investors; and (c) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Investors and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Investors to be fulfilled prior to the Closing.

5.3 The Investor further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (i) the Investor has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

5.4 The Investor understands that nothing in the Prospectus, this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF WARRANT

STRATEX NETWORKS, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE EXERCISED

AFTER 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON

SEPTEMBER , 2009

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, or registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”) is entitled to, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from Stratex Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, at the initial exercise price of $ per Warrant Share (the “Exercise Price”) at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 7 hereof), by surrendering this Warrant, with the Form of Election to Purchase duly executed at the principal office of the Company and by paying in full the Exercise Price, plus transfer taxes, if any. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant, and any warrant delivered in substitution or exchange for this Warrant as provided herein. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made (i) in United States currency, by certified check or money order payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions below.

1. Purchase Agreement. This Warrant is issued under and in accordance with the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of September , 2004 (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the Registered Holder and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Purchase Agreement.

2. Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Current Market Price (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Registered Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Election to Purchase in which event the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

X = Y - (A)(Y)

A-9

Where X =

the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Registered Holder.

Y =

the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.

A =

the Exercise Price.

B =

the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock.

“Current Market Price” means on any particular date:

(a) if the Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of the Company on such market over the five (5) trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation;

(b) if the Common Stock is traded on any registered national stock exchange but is not traded on the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of the Company on such exchange over the five (5) trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation;

(c) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, but not on the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or a registered national stock exchange, the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation; or

(d) if there is no active public market for the Common Stock, the value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, upon due consideration of the proposed determination thereof of the Registered Holder.

3. Issuance of Warrant Shares. As soon as practicable after the date of exercise of this Warrant the Company shall issue, or cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock, if any, to issue a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which the Registered Holder is entitled, registered in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Form of Election to Purchase; provided, however, that such certificate or certificates shall be delivered within no later than ten (10) business days after the Company’s receipt of the Purchaser’s surrender of this Warrant, including, without limitation, a properly completed Form of Election To Purchase. All Warrant Shares shall be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof. Each person in whose name any such certificate for Warrant Shares is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares represented thereby on the date of exercise of this Warrant resulting in the issuance of such Warrant Shares, irrespective of the date of issuance or delivery of such certificate for such Warrant Shares.

A-10

4. Partial Exercise. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver, within 30 days of the date of exercise, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Registered Holder, or such other person as shall be designated in the Form of Election to Purchase, to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. In no event shall this Warrant be exercised for a fractional Warrant Share, and the Company shall distribute no Warrant exercisable for a fractional Warrant Share. Fractional Warrant shares shall be treated as provided for in Section 6 hereof.

5. Available Authorized Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.

6. Adjustments. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Exercise Price in effect from time to time shall be subject to adjustment, as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then, in each case, the Exercise Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, or reclassification, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Registered Holder after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if such Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such time, the Registered Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(b) In case the Company shall issue or fix a record date for the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share, if a security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date, then, in each case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so to be offered) would purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued or to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so to be offered are initially convertible or exchangeable). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that, to the extent the shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) are

A-11

not delivered, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants (but only with respect to the exercise of this Warrant after such expiration), to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) actually issued and the Exercise Price shall also be adjusted for any subsequent adjustment or other change to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such rights, options, warrants or other securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price until any condition to the vesting of such rights, options or warrants shall be fulfilled or satisfied (and then only with respect to the portion thereof which shall have vested). In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any majority-owned subsidiary shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this paragraph but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price so as to equitably protect the rights of holders of this Warrant.

(c) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made to the stockholders of the Company in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) evidences of its indebtedness, cash (other than any cash dividend which, together with any cash dividends paid within the twelve (12) months prior to the record date for such distribution, does not exceed 5% of the Current Market Price at the record date for such distribution) or assets (other than distributions and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock), or rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (excluding those with respect to the issuance of which an adjustment of the Exercise Price is provided pursuant to the foregoing paragraph), then, in each case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed, or of such rights, options, or warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, or the amount of such cash, applicable to one share, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date.

No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $.05; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Warrant are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Warrant shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one thousandth of a share, as the case may be.

A-12

In any case in which this Warrant shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Registered Holder, if the Registered Holder has exercised this Warrant after such record date, the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the exercising Registered Holder a due ▇▇▇▇ or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Registered Holder’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as a result of the calculations made above this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by the Exercise Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Exercise Price by (B) the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.

In case of any capital reorganization, other than in the cases referred to above, or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the conversion of such outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares of other stock or other securities or property), or the sale of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (collectively such actions being hereinafter referred to as “Reorganizations”), there shall thereafter be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant (in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares theretofore deliverable) the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which the Registered Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise have been deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization. In case of any Reorganization, appropriate adjustment, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests of the Registered Holder so that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as practicable, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization, unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation, or if the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any such Reorganization and is not the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities or property to be delivered to holders of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the effective time thereof, then such issuer, shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the Registered Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or other property as such holder shall be entitled to purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of sale or conveyance or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company as a part of a plan for liquidation of the Company, all rights to exercise this Warrant shall terminate thirty (30) days after the Company gives written notice to the Registered Holder that such sale or conveyance or other transfer has been consummated.

A-13

In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, including, without limitation, in any reorganization (other than a change in par value or from no par value to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash, or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification or change by a Registered Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification or change and the term “Warrant Shares” shall thereafter include, without limitation, such stock and other securities. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock.

Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as provided in this Warrant, the Company will promptly obtain a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth the Exercise Price as so adjusted and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment. Whenever any adjustment is made pursuant to this Warrant, the Company shall cause notice of such adjustment to be mailed to the Registered Holder within fifteen (15) days thereafter, such notice to include in reasonable detail (i) the events precipitating the adjustment, (ii) the computation of any adjustments, and (iii) the Exercise Price, the number of shares or the securities or other property purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment.

In no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted below the par value per share of the Common Stock.

In case at any time the Company shall propose:

(a) to pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or make any other distribution (other than regularly scheduled cash dividends which are not in a greater amount per share than the most recent such cash dividend) to all holders of Common Stock; or

(b) to issue any rights, warrants, or other securities to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any other rights, warrants, or other securities; or

(c) to effect any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance of property, described above; or

(d) to effect any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company;

then, in each such case, the Company shall cause notice of such proposed action to be mailed to the Registered Holder. Such notice shall be mailed, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of receiving such payment or offer or at least ten (10) days prior to the earlier of the date upon which such action is to take place or any record date to determine holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such securities or other property, as the case may be.

A-14

Irrespective of any adjustments pursuant to this Warrant, any Warrant theretofore or thereafter issued need not be amended or replaced, but certificates thereafter issued shall bear an appropriate legend or other notice of any adjustments.

The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of any Warrant to issue fractional shares of Common Stock which may result from adjustments in accordance with this Warrant to the Exercise Price or number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under each Warrant. If more than one Warrant is exercised at one time by the same Registered Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable shall be computed based on the number of shares deliverable in exchange for the aggregate number of Warrants exercised. With respect to any fractional Warrant Share called for upon the exercise this Warrant, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional Warrant Share in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock calculated in accordance with this Warrant.

If any change to the capitalization of the Company should occur with respect to which a favorable adjustment to the rights and interests of the Registered Holder should be made, and such adjustment is not otherwise provided for in this Warrant, such appropriate adjustment should be made as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

7. Expiration Date. This Warrant may not be exercised after 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on September 24, 2009 (the “Expiration Date”) and shall be void after the Expiration Date.

8. No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the Registered Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Company.

9. Mutilation, Loss, Theft or Destruction of Warrant. If this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company in its discretion may execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of this Warrant, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, a new Warrant for the number of Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate, and of the ownership thereof, and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Applicants for such substitute Warrant shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges incidental thereto as the Company may prescribe. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

10. Split Up, Combination, Exchange or Transfer of Warrant. Prior to the latest time at which this Warrant may be exercised, subject to any applicable laws, rules or regulations restricting transferability, this Warrant, subject to the provisions hereof, may be split up, combined with or exchanged for other Warrants representing a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares or may be transferred in whole or in part. Any holder desiring to split up, combine, exchange or transfer this Warrant shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company at

A-15

its principal office and shall surrender this Warrant to be split up, combined exchanged or transferred at said office with the Form of Assignment. Upon any such surrender for split up, combination, exchange or transfer, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new Warrant or Warrants, as the case may be, as so requested in the Form of Assignment. The Company may require the holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any split up, combination, exchange or transfer of this Warrant prior to the issuance of any new Warrant.

If this Warrant is surrendered upon its exercise or for split up, combination, exchange or transfer, or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, it shall be canceled and shall not be reissued by the Company. Any Warrant so canceled shall be destroyed by the Company.

By accepting this Warrant, the Registered Holder consents and agrees with the Company that:

(a) transfer of this Warrant shall be registered on the books of the Company only if surrendered at the principal office of the Company, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer; and

(b) prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the Warrant made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes whatsoever, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

11. Headings. The headings of the various sections of this Warrant are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Warrant.

12. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Warrant.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be duly executed.

OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL

1. Each of the Company and Stratex Networks (UK) Limited, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. Each of the Company and Stratex Networks (UK) Limited has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted and as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and with respect to the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to issue and sell the Units.

3. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and none of them was issued in violation of any preemptive or other similar right.

The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and when issued and paid for in accordance with the Warrants, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The issuance and sale of the Units by the Company is not subject to any preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company contained in the Company’s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws. To such counsel’s knowledge, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there are no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or any restriction upon the voting or transfer of any securities of the Company pursuant to the Company’s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws or other governing documents or any agreements or other instruments to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. To such counsel’s knowledge, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there is no outstanding option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of, and no commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any share of stock of the Company or any security convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for stock of the Company. The Common Stock and the Shares conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the heading “Description of Common Stock” and the Warrants conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the heading “Description of the Warrants.” To such counsel’s knowledge, there are no persons with registration rights or other similar rights to have any securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise registered by the Company under the Securities Act.

4. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and

C-1

delivered by the Company and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

5. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale by the Company of the Units) will give rise to a right to terminate or accelerate the due date of any payment due under, or violate or result in the breach of any term or provision of, or constitute a default (or any event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or require consent or waiver under, or result in the execution or imposition of any lien, charge, claim, security interest or encumbrance upon any properties or assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (a) pursuant to the terms of any agreement or other instrument filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (b) any judgment, decree or order of any court or arbiter to which the Company is a party, of which such counsel is aware, or statute, rule or regulation, domestic or foreign, of which such counsel is aware or (c) violate any provision of the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by laws of the Company or the Certificate of Incorporation or by laws of Stratex Networks (UK) Limited.

6. No consent, approval, authorization, license, registration, qualification or order of any court or governmental agency or regulatory body is required for the due authorization, execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Company or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except such as have been obtained under the Securities Act and such as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the distribution of the Units.

7. To such counsel’s knowledge, there is no any action, suit, proceeding or other investigation, before any court or before or by any public body or board pending or threatened against, or involving the assets, properties or businesses of, the Company which is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and is not so disclosed or which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8. The statements in the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Common Stock” and in the Registration Statement in Item 15, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of documents referred to therein or matters of law, fairly present and summarize, in all material respects, the matters referred to therein. Such counsel does not know of any contracts or other documents of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement which are not so filed.

9. The Registration Statement and the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto (except for the financial statements, supporting schedules, footnotes, and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any further amendment or supplement to any such incorporated document made

C-2

by the Company (except for the financial statements, supporting schedules, footnotes, and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion) when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

10. The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act, and to such counsel’s knowledge no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are threatened, pending or contemplated under the Securities Act. Any required filing of the Prospectus and any supplement thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Regulations has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule 424(b).

11. The Shares have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq National Market System.

12. The Company is not an “investment company” or an entity controlled by an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

To the extent deemed advisable by such counsel, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials and on the opinions of other counsel satisfactory to the Placement Agent as to matters which are governed by laws other than the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States; provided that such counsel shall state that in their opinion the Placement Agent and they are justified in relying on such other opinions. Copies of such certificates and other opinions shall be furnished to the Placement Agent and counsel for the Placement Agent.

In addition, such counsel shall state that such counsel has participated in conferences with your representatives and with representatives of the Company and its independent public accountants concerning the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and have considered the matters required to be stated therein and the statements contained therein, although we have not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements (except and to the extent stated in the seventh sentence of paragraph 3 above and the first sentence of paragraph 8 above). Based upon and subject to the foregoing, nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that leads such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement or the Base Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, at the time it was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act or as of the date hereof, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that such counsel has not been requested to and do not make any comment in this paragraph with respect to the financial statements, supporting schedules, footnotes, and other financial and statistical information contained in the Registration Statement or Prospectus).
