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

A-19

(b) Xxxxxx shall complete its review of the Cash Statement within 15 days after the date on which it received the Cash Statement. If Xxxxxx does not agree with the Cash Statement prepared by Newco, then on or before the last day of such 15-day period Xxxxxx shall inform Newco in writing of its objections to the Cash Statement (collectively, the “Xxxxxx Objections”), setting forth such objections in reasonable detail and Xxxxxx’ proposed adjustments thereto. If no Xxxxxx Objections are received by Newco on or before the last day of such 15-day period, then the Excess Cash or Cash Shortfall reflected on the Cash Statement delivered by Newco pursuant to Section 3.8(a) shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Newco shall have 15 days after the date on which it receives the Xxxxxx Objections to review and respond to the Xxxxxx Objections.

(c) If Xxxxxx and Newco are unable to resolve all of their disagreements as to the amount of the Excess Cash or Cash Shortfall set forth in the Xxxxxx Objections within 15 days after the end of Newco’s 15-day review period, then each party may refer any remaining disagreements to an independent certified public accountant to be agreed upon in good faith by Xxxxxx and Newco (the “CPA Firm”) which shall determine in accordance with this Section 3.8, and only with respect to the remaining disagreements so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Excess Cash or Cash Shortfall, requires adjustment. Xxxxxx and Newco shall instruct the CPA Firm to deliver its written determination to Xxxxxx and Newco no later than 15 days after the remaining disagreements with respect to the Xxxxxx Objections that are referred to the CPA Firm. The CPA Firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Xxxxxx and Newco and their Affiliates. The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be borne equally by Xxxxxx and Newco. Xxxxxx and Newco shall make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records relating to the Excess Cash, the Cash Shortfall, the Cash Statement and the Xxxxxx Objections and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm in connection therewith.

(d) No amounts shall be paid by any party in the event Xxxxxx and Newco determine that the Aggregate Target Cash equals the Subsidiary Amount. In the event there is Excess Cash, Newco shall have a liability to Xxxxxx equal to the amount of the Excess Cash, and Newco shall pay to Xxxxxx the Excess Cash together with interest thereon from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the payment date at the rate of 5% per annum, such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to such account as Xxxxxx shall designate in writing to Newco no later than five Business Days after the date on which the Excess Cash is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.8. In the event there is a Cash Shortfall, Xxxxxx shall have a liability to Newco equal to the amount of the Cash Shortfall, and Xxxxxx shall pay to Newco the Cash Shortfall together with interest thereon from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the payment date at the rate of 5% per annum, such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to such account as Newco shall designate in writing to Xxxxxx no later than five Business Days after the date on which the Cash Shortfall is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.8. Notwithstanding anything else contaend in this Section 3.8, no interest shall be due in respect of any liability, or portion thereof, owed by one party to the other pursuant to this Section 3.8 to the extent that such liability, or portion thereof, represents interest on funds originating in a location where it is unlawful to earn such interest.

(e) Following any payment by either Xxxxxx or Newco pursuant to this Section 3.8, under no circumstance shall the sum of (i) the Cash Contribution, (ii) the Subsidiary Cash and (iii) the Cash Shortfall (treated as a positive number) or the Excess Cash (treated as a negative number), as the case may be, exceed $32.1 million.

3.9. Target Cash.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Xxxxxx and Stratex shall agree in good faith the amount of cash (determined in the domestic currency of such Contributed Subsidiary) appropriate for the ordinary course operations of each Contributed Subsidiary (with respect to each Contributed Subsidiary, its “Target Cash”). The sum of the Target Cash for each Contributed Subsidiary is collectively referred to herein as the “Aggregate Target Cash”.

(b) To the extent the Target Cash of a Contributed Subsidiary is denominated in a currency (or currencies) other than U.S. dollars, such amounts shall be deemed to have been converted into

A-20

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

consideration therefor (except to the extent that such cancellation of any Stratex Excluded Shares held by Newco, Stratex or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries would result in U.S. federal income tax to Newco, Stratex or any of such Subsidiaries, in which case such Stratex Excluded Shares shall not be considered “Stratex Excluded Shares” for any purpose under this Agreement).

(c) Treatment of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of Merger Sub Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and each certificate which previously represented any shares of Merger Sub Stock shall thereafter be deemed to represent the same number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

6.2. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At the Effective Time, Newco shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent selected by Xxxxxx with Stratex’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Stratex Common Stock, one or more certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable as Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger (collectively, the “Class A Merger Shares”) and any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 6.2(i). In addition, from time to time after the Effective Time, Newco will deposit with the Exchange Agent any dividends or other distributions with respect to the Class A Merger Shares to be paid or issued pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6.2(c) upon due surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 6.2(h)) pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE VI. The certificate(s) representing Class A Merger Shares, together with the amount of cash payable pursuant to Section 6.2(i) in lieu of fractional shares and dividends or other distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 6.2(a), are referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.

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

A-22

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares; Voting. (i) All Class A Merger Shares shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Newco in respect of the Class A Common Stock with a record date at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all Class A Merger Shares. No such dividends or other distributions in respect of the Class A Merger Shares shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until such Certificate is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this ARTICLE VI. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid and/or issued to the holder of the Class A Merger Shares issued in exchange therefor, in each case without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date prior to the date of such surrender with respect to such Class A Merger Shares and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Class A Merger Shares with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment or delivery date subsequent to surrender.

(ii) At any meeting of Newco’s stockholders after the Effective Time, holders of unsurrendered Certificates shall be entitled to vote the number of shares of Class A Merger Shares represented by such Certificates, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their Certificates.

(d) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Stratex of the shares of Stratex Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof and certificates for any Class A Merger Shares) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of Stratex for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Newco. Any holder of Certificates who has not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE VI shall thereafter look only to Newco for delivery of the Merger Consideration and payments of dividends and distributions pursuant to this ARTICLE VI upon due surrender of their Certificates in each case without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Newco, Xxxxxx, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Stratex Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Newco, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Newco.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Newco shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable or deliverable pursuant to this ARTICLE VI to any holder of Certificates such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Newco, as the case may be, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of shares of Stratex Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person (who is the record holder of such Certificate) claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Newco, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Newco as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, a certificate representing the Class A Merger Shares and any dividends or other distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(i) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional share of Class A Common Stock will be issued and any holder of Stratex Common Stock that would be entitled to

A-23

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

6.3. No Dissenters’ Rights. In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to holders of Stratex Common Stock in connection with the Merger or the other Transactions.

6.4. Treatment of Stratex Stock Plans.

(a) Treatment of Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Stratex Common Stock (a “Stratex Option”) under the Stratex Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to one-fourth of the number of shares of Stratex Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Stratex Option immediately prior to such conversion at an exercise price per share equal to four (4) times the exercise price per share of Stratex Common Stock immediately prior to such conversion; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Stratex Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any Stratex Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Stratex Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Stratex Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Stratex Awards. At the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive shares of Stratex Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of shares of Stratex Common Stock and each award of any kind consisting of shares of Stratex Common Stock that may be held, awarded, outstanding, payable or reserved for issuance under the Stratex Stock Plans and any other Stratex Benefits Plan, in each case other than Stratex Options (each, a “Stratex Award”), shall be converted into the right to acquire, or the right to receive benefits measured by the value of, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to one-fourth of the number of shares of Stratex Common Stock underlying such Stratex Award (rounded down to the nearest whole number) immediately prior to such conversion, and if such Stratex Award determines such rights by reference to the extent the value of the shares of Stratex Common Stock exceed a specified reference price, at a reference price per share of Class A Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to four (4) times the reference price per share of Stratex Common Stock. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Stratex Award shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the rights under the relevant Stratex Stock Plan or other Stratex Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Registration. If, in connection with the satisfaction of the obligations set forth in Section 6.4(a) and Section 6.4(b), registration of any interests in the Stratex Stock Plans or other Stratex Benefit Plans or the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b) is required under the Securities Act, Newco shall file with the SEC as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to such interests or Class A Common Stock, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the Stratex Stock Plans or other Stratex Benefit Plans, as applicable, remain in effect and such registration of interests therein or the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable thereunder continues to be required. As soon as practicable after the registration of such interests or shares, as applicable, Newco shall deliver to the holders of Stratex Options and Stratex Awards appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the respective Stratex Stock Plans and agreements evidencing the grants of such

A-24

Stratex Options and Stratex Awards, and stating that such Stratex Options and Stratex Awards and agreements have been assumed by Newco and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 6.4(c) after giving effect to the Merger and the terms of the Stratex Stock Plans).

(d) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, (i) Stratex, the Stratex Board and the compensation committee of the Stratex Board, as applicable, shall adopt all resolutions and take all actions which are necessary to implement the provisions of Section 6.4(a) and Section 6.4(b) and (ii) Newco shall take all actions which are necessary to assume and perform the Stratex Options and Stratex Awards converted pursuant to Section 6.4(a) and Section 6.4(b) including the reservation, issuance (subject to Section 6.4(c)) and listing of Class A Common Stock as necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.4. Stratex shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Newco nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver shares of Stratex Common Stock or other capital stock of Stratex to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Stratex Options or Stratex Awards.

6.5. Treatment of Warrants. At the Effective Time, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2004 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between Stratex and those Persons identified on Schedule I to the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant shall automatically become exercisable for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to one-fourth of the number of shares of Stratex Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time at an exercise price per share of Class A Common Stock equal to four (4) times the exercise price of such Warrant per share of Stratex Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time. Concurrently with the Effective Time, Newco shall assume the obligation to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock to those Persons who are the record holders of the Warrants by entering into the Warrant Assumption Agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12 providing for certain adjustments to the Warrants as specified in, and as required by, the Warrant Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

Representations and Warranties

7.1. Representations and Warranties of Stratex. Except as set forth in the disclosure letter (subject to Section 13.11(c)) dated as of the Original Formation Agreement Date and delivered to Xxxxxx by Stratex prior to entering into the Original Formation Agreement and identified as such (the “Stratex Disclosure Letter”), Stratex hereby represents and warrants to Xxxxxx on the Original Formation Agreement Date that:

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of Stratex and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States) and has all requisite corporate or other legal entity power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each jurisdiction where such ownership, operation or conduct requires such qualification (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States), except for any such failures to be so organized, qualified or in good standing or to have such power or authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Stratex Material Adverse Effect. Stratex has made available to Xxxxxx a complete and correct copy of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other comparable governing instruments) of Stratex and each of its Subsidiaries, each as amended to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, and each certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or other comparable governing instruments) so delivered is in full force and effect. Stratex is in compliance with the terms of its certificate of incorporation as amended through the date of the Original Formation Agreement (the “Stratex Certificate”) and its bylaws as amended through

A-25

the date of the Original Formation Agreement (the “Stratex Bylaws” and, collectively with the Stratex Certificate, the “Stratex Governing Instruments”).

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

A-26

require a filing by Newco, Xxxxxx or any of their Subsidiaries under the HSR Act. Exhibit 21.1 to Stratex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, sets forth all of the Subsidiaries of Stratex as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement.

(c) Corporate Authority; Approval and Fairness. (i) Stratex has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions to which it is a party (collectively, the “Stratex Transactions”), in each case subject only to adoption of this Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stratex Common Stock (the “Stratex Requisite Vote”). This Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of Stratex enforceable against Stratex in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

(ii) At a meeting duly called and held prior to execution of this Agreement, the Stratex Board unanimously adopted resolutions (A) approving, adopting and declaring advisable this Agreement and the Transactions and determining that the terms of the Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, Stratex and the holders of Stratex Common Stock (collectively, the “Board Approval”) and (B) recommending that the holders of Stratex Common Stock vote to adopt this Agreement (the “Board Recommendation”). Such resolutions are sufficient to cause Section 203 of the DGCL not to apply to any of Xxxxxx, Newco or Merger Sub with respect to any of the Transactions or any other transaction following the Closing.

(iii) The Stratex Board has received the written opinion of its financial advisor, Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc. (“Bear Xxxxxxx”), dated as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, to the effect that, on the basis of and subject to the matters set forth therein and assuming the simultaneous consummation of the Contribution Transaction, as of such date the exchange of one share of Class A Common Stock for four (4) outstanding shares of Stratex Common Stock in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Stratex Common Stock. A signed copy of such opinion has been delivered to Xxxxxx.

(d) Governmental Filings; No Violations; Consents; and Approvals.

(i) Other than the filings or notices (A) pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.3 and Section 3.4, (B) required under the HSR Act or (C) required to be made under the Exchange Act or with NASDAQ, no Governmental Authorizations are required to be obtained or made by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Stratex or the consummation by Stratex of the Stratex Transactions.

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance by Stratex of this Agreement do not, and the consummation by Stratex of the Stratex Transactions do not and will not, constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the Stratex Governing Documents or the comparable governing instruments of any of its Subsidiaries, (B) a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) or a default under or the acceleration of any obligations or the creation of any Encumbrance on the assets of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) pursuant to, any Contract binding upon Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or, assuming that the necessary consents, approvals and filings referred to in clauses (A) through (C) of Section 7.1(d)(i) are duly obtained and/or made, any Laws, Governmental Authorizations or non governmental permit or license to which Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries is subject or (C) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any such Contracts, Governmental Authorizations, permits or licenses, except, in the case of the foregoing clauses (B) or (C) only, for any breach, violation, termination, default, acceleration, change or creation that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Stratex Material Adverse Effect. Section 7.1(d) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list of Stratex Material Contracts pursuant to which consents or waivers are or may be required prior to consummation of the Transactions (whether or not subject to the exception set forth with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above).

A-27

(iii) Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) above, neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Stratex nor the consummation by Stratex of the Stratex Transactions will require the receipt of any consent pursuant to, or give rise to any right of termination under, any of the Stratex Material Contracts except for any such consents and any such termination rights which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Stratex Material Adverse Effect if not obtained (in the case of such consents) or if exercised (in the case of such termination rights).

(iv) Section 7.1(d) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list of all material claims held by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, as creditors or claimants, with respect to debtors or debtors-in-possession subject to proceedings under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), together with a correct and complete list of all orders entered by the applicable United States Bankruptcy Court with respect to each such proceeding. None of such orders, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Stratex Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Stratex Reports; Financial Statements. (i) Stratex has made available to Xxxxxx each registration statement, report, form, proxy or information statement or other document filed or furnished by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries with or to the SEC since March 31, 2006 (the “Stratex Audit Date”), including Stratex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006, each in the form (including exhibits, annexes and any amendments thereto) filed with the SEC (collectively with each other, any such registration statements, reports, forms, proxy or information statements or other documents so filed or furnished subsequent to the date of the Original Formation Agreement and any amendments to any of the foregoing, the “Stratex Reports”). Stratex and its Subsidiaries have filed or furnished, as applicable, with or to the SEC all registration statements, reports, forms, proxy or information statements and other documents required to be so filed or furnished by them pursuant to applicable securities statutes, regulations, policies and rules since the Stratex Audit Date. Each of the Stratex Reports, at the time first filed with or furnished to the SEC, complied or will comply (as applicable) in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and complied in all material respects with the then applicable accounting standards. As of their respective dates, the Stratex Reports did not, and any Stratex Reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of the Original Formation Agreement will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Stratex Reports included or will include all certificates required to be included therein pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the SOX Act, and the internal control report and attestation of Stratex’s outside auditors required by Section 404 of the SOX Act.

(ii) Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Stratex Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents or, in the case of Stratex Reports filed or furnished after the date of the Original Formation Agreement, will fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Stratex and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Stratex Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents or, in the case of Stratex Reports filed or furnished after the date of the Original Formation Agreement, will fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows, respectively, of Stratex and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and normal year-end audit adjustments that will not be material in amount or effect), in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein.

(iii) Stratex is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the SOX Act and the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of NASDAQ.

(iv) The management of Stratex has (A) designed and implemented disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) which management reasonably believes

A-28

will ensure that material information relating to Stratex, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the management of Stratex by others within those entities and (B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation, to Stratex’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Stratex Board (1) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Stratex’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and (2) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Stratex’s internal controls over financial reporting. Stratex has made available to Xxxxxx a summary of any such disclosure made by management since March 31, 2004. Since the Stratex Audit Date, any material change in internal controls over financial reporting required to be disclosed in any Stratex Report has been so disclosed.

(v) Since the date of their last certification filed with the SEC, neither the chief executive officer nor the chief financial officer of Stratex has become aware of any fact, circumstance or change that is or is reasonably likely to result in a “significant deficiency” or a “material weakness” in Stratex’s internal controls over financial reporting, other than as disclosed in the Stratex Reports filed prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement.

(vi) Since March 31, 2003, (A) neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of Stratex, any director, officer, employee, auditor, accountant or representative of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, has received or otherwise had or obtained Knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices and (B) no attorney representing Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a material violation of the securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by Stratex or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to the Stratex Board or any committee thereof or, to the Knowledge of any officer of Stratex, to any director or officer of Stratex.

(vii) Since March 31, 2004, each registration statement of Stratex (including exhibits, annexes and any amendments or supplements thereto) filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, as of the date such registration statement or amendment became effective, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein not misleading.

(f) Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Stratex for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the registration statement on Form S-4 of Newco (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Registration Statement”), pursuant to which the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger will be registered with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, or the proxy statement/ prospectus (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement/ Prospectus”) included in the Registration Statement which is to be sent to the stockholders of Stratex in connection with the Stratex Stockholder Meeting shall (i) in the case of the Registration Statement, at the time it is filed with the SEC or at the time it is declared effective by the SEC, or becomes effective, or (ii) in the case of the Proxy Statement, at the time it is mailed to the stockholders of Stratex or at the time of the Stratex Stockholder Meeting contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus only, in light of the circumstances under which they are made).

(g) Absence of Certain Changes. Since the Stratex Audit Date, Stratex and its Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses only in, and have not engaged in any material transaction other than in accordance with, the ordinary course of such businesses. Since the Stratex Audit Date and on or prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, there has not been any event, occurrence, discovery or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a

A-29

Stratex Material Adverse Effect. On or after the Stratex Audit Date and on or prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, none of the actions or events described in clauses (a) through (w) of Section 8.1 has been taken or has occurred.

(h) Litigation and Liabilities. (i) There are no civil, criminal or administrative actions, suits, demands, claims, hearings, litigations, arbitrations, investigations or other proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Stratex, threatened against Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates by, before or with any Government Entity or any other Person. None of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is a party to, or subject to the provisions of, any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any Government Entity.

(ii) There are no liabilities or obligations of Stratex or any Subsidiary of Stratex, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not required to be disclosed, or any other facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any obligations or liabilities of, Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, other than those:


	(A) reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of Stratex or readily apparent in the notes thereto, in each case included in Stratex’s annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended March 31, 2006 (but only to the extent so reflected or readily apparent);

	(B) incurred in the ordinary course of business since March 31, 2006;

	(C) required to be performed after the date of the Original Formation Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Contracts listed in Section 7.1(d) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter or applicable Law; or

	(D) that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had since the Stratex Audit Date, and would not reasonably be expected to result in, a Stratex Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Employee Benefits.

(i) All benefit and compensation plans, contracts, policies or arrangements covering current or former employees of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries and current or former directors of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries, including any “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, and any deferred compensation, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation rights, stock based, incentive, bonus, workers’ compensation, short term disability, vacation and severance plans and all employment, severance and change in control agreements, and all amendments thereto (the “Stratex Benefit Plans”) are listed in Section 7.1(i)(i) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter, and each Stratex Benefit Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, including any master or prototype plan, has been separately identified. True and complete copies of all Stratex Benefit Plans listed in Section 7.1(i)(i) of the Stratex Disclosure Letter, including any trust instruments, insurance contracts and, with respect to any employee stock ownership plan, loan agreements forming a part of any Stratex Benefit Plans, and all amendments thereto have been provided or made available to Xxxxxx.

(ii) No Stratex Benefit Plan is a “multi-employer plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA (a “Multi-Employer Plan”). All Stratex Benefit Plans are in substantial compliance with ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws. Each Stratex Benefit Plan which is subject to ERISA (the “Stratex ERISA Plans”) that is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Stratex Pension Plan”) and that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for all Tax Law changes prior to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 or has applied to the IRS for such favorable determination letter within the applicable remedial amendment period under Section 401(b) of the Code, and Stratex is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in the loss of the qualification of such Stratex Pension Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. Any voluntary employees’ beneficiary association within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code which provides benefits under a Stratex Benefit Plan has (A) received an opinion letter from the IRS recognizing its exempt status under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code and (B) filed a timely notice with the IRS pursuant

A-30

to Section 505(c) of the Code, and Stratex is not aware of circumstances likely to result in the loss of such exempt status under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Stratex ERISA Plan that, assuming the Taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, would subject Stratex or any Subsidiary to a Tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount that would be material. Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred or reasonably expects to incur a Tax or penalty imposed by Section 4980F of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA or any Liability under Section 4071 of ERISA.

(iii) No Liability under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated “single-employer plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or the single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one employer with Stratex under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code (a “Stratex ERISA Affiliate”). No notice of a “reportable event”, within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30 day reporting requirement has not been waived or extended, other than pursuant to Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) Reg. Section 4043.66, has been required to be filed for any Stratex Pension Plan or by any Stratex ERISA Affiliate within the 12 month period ending on the date of the Original Merger Agreement or will be required to be filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No notices have been required to be sent to participants and beneficiaries or the PBGC under Section 302 or 4011 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code.

(iv) All contributions required to be made under each Stratex Benefit Plan, as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, have been timely made and all obligations in respect of each Stratex Benefit Plan have been properly accrued and reflected in the most recent consolidated balance sheet filed or incorporated by reference in the Stratex Reports prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement. Neither any Stratex Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of a Stratex ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and neither Stratex nor any Stratex ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. It is not reasonably anticipated that required minimum contributions to any Stratex Pension Plan under Section 412 of the Code will be materially increased by application of Section 412(l) of the Code. Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has provided, or is required to provide, security to any Stratex Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of a Stratex ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

(v) Under each Stratex Pension Plan which is a single-employer plan, as of the last day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, the actuarially determined present value of all “benefit liabilities”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in such Stratex Pension Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Stratex Pension Plan, and there has been no material change in the financial condition of such Stratex Pension Plan since the last day of the most recent plan year.

(vi) Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations for retiree health and life benefits under any Stratex Benefit Plan or collective bargaining agreement. Stratex or its Subsidiaries may amend or terminate any Stratex Benefit Plan providing retiree health or life benefits at any time without incurring any Liability thereunder other than in respect of claims incurred prior to such amendment or termination.

(vii) There has been no amendment to, or announcement by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Stratex Benefit Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such Stratex Benefit Plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent fiscal year. Neither the execution of this Agreement, stockholder adoption of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will (A) entitle any employees of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or benefits or any increase in severance pay or benefits upon any termination of employment after the date of the Original Formation Agreement, (B) accelerate

A-31

the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or result in any other obligation pursuant to, any of the Stratex Benefit Plans, (C) limit or restrict the right of Stratex or, after the consummation of the Transactions, Newco to merge, amend or terminate any of the Stratex Benefit Plans or (D) result in payments under any of the Stratex Benefit Plans which would not be deductible under Section 162(m) or Section 280G of the Code. None of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any contract, agreement or arrangement with any officer or director of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with or in contemplation of any of the Transactions.

(viii) There are no outstanding loans to any employee of Stratex from Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries other than claims any such employee may have under a Stratex Benefit Plan covering such employee of Stratex. As of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, there is no pending, or the Knowledge of Stratex, threatened investigations or other proceedings by or with any Government Entity or litigation relating to the Stratex Benefit Plans.

(j) Compliance with Laws and Regulations; Governmental Authorizations. The businesses of each of Stratex and each of its Subsidiaries have not been, and are not being, conducted in material violation of any applicable Law. To the Knowledge of Stratex, no material change is required in Stratex’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ processes, properties or procedures for them to continue to comply with such Laws, and Stratex has not received any notice or communication of any material noncompliance with any such Laws that has not been cured as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement. Stratex and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained and are in substantial compliance with all material Governmental Authorizations required or necessary for the conduct of their businesses and the use of their properties and assets as presently conducted and used, and neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice from any Government Entity of any material noncompliance with any such Governmental Authorizations that has not been cured as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement.

(k) Takeover Statutes. The Stratex Board has taken (and not revoked) all action necessary to ensure that Section 203 of the DGCL will not impose any additional procedural, voting, approval, fairness or other restrictions on the timely consummation of the Transactions or restrict, impair or delay the ability of (i) Newco or Merger Sub to engage in any of the Transactions with Stratex, (ii) Newco to engage in any of the Transactions with Xxxxxx, (iii) Newco or Merger Sub to vote or otherwise exercise all rights as a stockholder of Stratex or (iv) Xxxxxx to vote or otherwise exercise all rights as a stockholder of Newco or (v) Xxxxxx to exercise or enforce any rights under any of the Ancillary Agreements. No “fair price”, “moratorium”, “control share acquisition” or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation (each, a “Takeover Statute”) or any anti-takeover provision in Stratex’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws is applicable to the shares of Stratex Common Stock or the Transactions.

(l) Affiliate Transactions. There are no loans, leases or other continuing transactions between Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries and any present or former stockholder, director or officer thereof or any member of such officer’s, director’s or stockholder’s family, or any Person controlled (within the meaning of such term in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) by such executive officer, director or stockholder or his or her family that are not disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K in the Stratex Reports.

(m) Environmental Matters. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Stratex Material Adverse Effect:

(i) to the Knowledge of Stratex, Stratex and its Subsidiaries have materially complied at all times with all applicable Environmental Laws;

(ii) to the Knowledge of Stratex, no property currently owned, leased or operated by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries (including soils, groundwater, surface water, buildings or other structures) is contaminated with any Hazardous Substance in a manner that has given or could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Environmental Liability;

A-32

(iii) to the Knowledge of Stratex, no property formerly owned, leased or operated by Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries was contaminated with any Hazardous Substance during or prior to such period of ownership, leasehold or operation in a manner that has given or could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Environmental Liability;

(iv) to the Knowledge of Stratex, neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any Environmental Liabilities concerning any third party property;

(v) neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice, demand, letter, claim or request for information alleging that Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries may be in violation of or subject to liability under any Environmental Law;

(vi) neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any order, decree, injunction or agreement with any Government Entity, or any indemnity or other agreement with any third party, concerning liability or obligations relating to any Environmental Law or otherwise relating to any Hazardous Substance;

(vii) to the Knowledge of Stratex, there are no other circumstances or conditions involving Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in any Environmental Liability; and

(viii) Stratex has delivered to Xxxxxx or made available copies of all environmental reports, studies, assessments and sampling data in its possession relating to Stratex, its Subsidiaries or their current or former properties or operations.

(n) Taxes. Stratex and each of its Subsidiaries (i) have prepared in good faith and duly and timely filed (taking into account any extension of time within which to file) all Tax Returns required to be filed by any of them and all such filed Tax Returns are complete and accurate in all material respects; (ii) have paid all Taxes that are shown as due on such filed Tax Returns or that Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries are obligated to collect or withhold from amounts owing to or payable from any employee, creditor or third party, except with respect to matters contested in good faith; and (iii) have not waived any statute of limitations with respect to Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency. As of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, there are not pending or, to the Knowledge of Stratex, threatened in writing, any audits, examinations, investigations or other proceedings against Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes or Tax matters. There are not, to the Knowledge of Stratex, any unresolved questions or claims concerning Stratex’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Tax liability that are reasonably likely to have a Stratex Material Adverse Effect and are not disclosed or provided for in the Stratex Reports. Stratex has made available to Xxxxxx true and correct copies of the United States federal income Tax Returns (including all schedules and attachments thereto) filed by Stratex and its Subsidiaries for each of its fiscal years ended March 31, 2005, March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003. Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability with respect to income, franchise or other Taxes that accrued on or before March 31, 2005 in excess of the amounts accrued with respect thereto that are reflected in the financial statements included in the Stratex Reports filed on or prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement. Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has been a party to the distribution of stock of a controlled corporation as defined in Section 355(a) of the Code in a transaction intended to qualify under Section 355 of the Code within the past two years. For any transaction in which Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries entered into an agreement to treat a stock purchase as an asset purchase for United States federal income tax purposes, a valid election under Section 338 of the Code was timely filed with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. None of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any transactions that are the same as, or substantially similar to, any transaction which is a “reportable transaction” for purposes of Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-4(b) (including without limitation any transaction which the Internal Revenue Service has determined to be a “listed transaction” for purposes of Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-4(b)(2)). Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries has any current plan or intention to distribute to Newco any assets owned by Stratex at the Effective Time.

(H) Stratex’s and its Subsidiaries’ collection and dissemination of personal customer information in connection with their business has been conducted in accordance with applicable privacy policies published or otherwise adopted by Stratex and its Subsidiaries and any requirement under applicable Law, except where the failure to abide by any requirements under applicable Law will not cause a Stratex Material Adverse Effect.

(p) Labor Matters. Neither Stratex nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or otherwise bound by any collective bargaining agreement, Contract or other agreement or understanding with a labor union or other labor organization, nor is Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries the subject of any material proceeding asserting that Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries has committed an unfair labor practice or seeking to compel any of them to bargain with any labor union or other labor organization nor has there been since January 1, 2001 or is there pending or, to the Knowledge of Stratex, threatened any labor strike, dispute, walk-out, work stoppage, slow-down or lockout involving Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries.

Except as set forth in the disclosure letter (subject to Section 13.11(c)) dated as of the Original Formation Agreement Date and delivered to Stratex by Xxxxxx prior to entering into the Original Formation Agreement and identified as such (the “Xxxxxx Disclosure Letter”), Xxxxxx hereby represents and warrants to Stratex on the Original Formation Agreement Date that:

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Xxxxxx is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its Properties, and to carry on the MCD Business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, operation of the Contributed Assets (other than the Contributed Subsidiaries) or the conduct of the MCD Business requires such qualification (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States), except for any such failures to be so organized, qualified or in good standing or to have such power or authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Xxxxxx Material Adverse Effect. Xxxxxx has made available to Stratex a complete and correct copy of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other comparable governing instruments) of Xxxxxx, each as amended to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, and each certificate of incorporation or bylaws so delivered is in full force and effect. Xxxxxx is in compliance with the terms of its certificate of incorporation as amended through the date of the Original Formation Agreement (the “Xxxxxx Certificate”) and its bylaws as amended through the date of the Original Formation Agreement (collectively with the Xxxxxx Certificate, the “Xxxxxx Governing Instruments”).

(b) Subsidiaries. (i) Section 7.2(b) of the Xxxxxx Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list of each Contributed Subsidiary both as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement and immediately following the Xxxxxx Restructuring, together with its jurisdiction of organization and its authorized and outstanding capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each such Subsidiary as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement. Each Subsidiary of Xxxxxx which has title to any Property reasonably expected to be a Contributed Asset and each Contributed Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States) and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its Properties and to carry on

True and complete copies of all MCD Employee Benefit Plans listed in Section 7.2(i)(i) of the Xxxxxx Disclosure Letter, including any trust instruments and insurance contracts and all amendments thereto, have been provided or made available to Stratex.

(ii) No MCD Employee Benefit Plan is a Multi-Employer Plan. All MCD Employee Benefit Plans covering MCD Employees are in substantial compliance with ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws, except to the extent failure to comply would not cause any Liability to Newco. Each MCD Employee Benefit Plan which is subject to ERISA (the “MCD Employee ERISA Plans”) that is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “MCD Employee Pension Plan”) and that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS for all Tax Law changes prior to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 or has applied to the IRS for such favorable determination letter within the applicable remedial amendment period under Section 401(b) of the Code, and Xxxxxx is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in the loss of the qualification of such Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code.

Neither Xxxxxx nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any MCD Employee ERISA Plan that, assuming the Taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, would subject Newco to a Tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount that would be material.

(iii) No Liability under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Xxxxxx or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any terminated “single-employer plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, formerly maintained by any of them, or the terminated single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one employer with Xxxxxx under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code (a “Xxxxxx ERISA Affiliate”).

(iv) All contributions required to be made with respect to any MCD Employees under each MCD Employee Benefit Plan, as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, have been timely made and all obligations in respect of each MCD Employee Benefit Plan have been properly accrued and reflected in the Audited Financial Statements. Neither Xxxxxx nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any Xxxxxx ERISA Affiliate maintains as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement a single-employer plan within the meaning of 4001(a)(15) of ERISA or any plan subject to the requirements of Section 412 of the Code.

A-42

(vi) There has been no amendment to, or announcement by Xxxxxx or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of the MCD Employees relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any MCD Employee Benefit Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such MCD Employee Benefit Plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent fiscal year. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will (A) entitle any MCD Employees to severance pay or benefits or any increase in severance pay or benefits upon any termination of employment after the date of the Original Formation Agreement or (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or result in any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the MCD Employee Benefit Plans to any MCD Employees. None of Xxxxxx or any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any contract, agreement or arrangement with any MCD Employee in connection with or in contemplation of any of the Transactions.

(vii) Section 7.2(i)(vii) of the Xxxxxx Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all MCD Employees on September 1, 2006, identifying as to each a job title, years of service and location of employment.

(viii) There are no outstanding loans to any MCD Employee from any Contributed Subsidiary other than claims any MCD Employee may have under an MCD Employee Benefit Plan covering such MCD Employee. As of the date of the Original Formation Agreement, there is no pending, or to the Knowledge of Xxxxxx, threatened investigations or other proceedings by or with any Government Entity or litigation relating to the MCD Employee Benefit Plans.

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

(b) Stratex agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted prior to the Original Formation Agreement Date with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Stratex will promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of a transaction with Stratex to return or destroy all confidential information furnished prior to the execution of this Agreement to or for the benefit of such Person by or on behalf of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries and to destroy all summaries, analyses or extracts of or based upon such information in the possession of such Person or any of its Representatives. Stratex agrees that it will take the necessary steps to promptly inform its Representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 9.1. None of Stratex or any of its Subsidiaries will waive any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx.

A-54

(c) Stratex agrees that it will notify Xxxxxx as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within 24 hours) if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal are received by, any information relating thereto is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations relating thereto are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposal or offer and thereafter shall keep Xxxxxx informed, on a current basis, as to the status and terms of any such proposal or offer and the status of any such discussions or negotiations.

Any such revisions which Xxxxxx offers in writing to make which, if accepted by Stratex, would be legally binding on the parties to this Agreement are referred to herein as “Revised Terms”. Stratex agrees that any material amendment to any Qualifying Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Qualifying Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 9.1 and Section 9.2.

9.2. Board Recommendation. The Stratex Board shall not make a Change In Recommendation at any time prior to such time that the Stratex Requisite Vote is obtained unless: (i) Stratex shall have provided written notice to Xxxxxx that the Stratex Board intends to take such action, at least five (5) Business Days shall have elapsed since the date on which Xxxxxx received such notice and Stratex shall have complied with the applicable provisions of Section 9.1(c), (ii) the Stratex Board shall have determined in good faith, after consulting with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors and taking into account any Revised Terms, that failing to take such action would be a breach by the directors of Stratex of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (iii) if the Change In Recommendation is being made primarily as a result of an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (it being agreed and understood by the parties that any Change in Recommendation shall not alter the Stratex Board’s approval of the Transactions (including for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL)). Unless and until the Board Recommendation has been withdrawn as permitted by this Agreement, the Board Approval and Board Recommendation shall be included in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus and the Stratex Board shall take all reasonable and lawful action to solicit the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of shares of Stratex Common Stock by the Stratex Requisite Vote at the Stratex Stockholders Meeting.

If, at any time before the Stratex Requisite Vote has been obtained, Xxxxxx or Stratex discovers any information relating to either party or Newco, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, officers or directors, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus/ Proxy Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and the parties will cooperate with each other in order to promptly file with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminate to the stockholders of Stratex, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information. Xxxxxx, Stratex, Newco and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to take any action required to be taken under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the Contribution Transaction and the Merger and each party shall furnish all information concerning it and the holders of its capital stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

No notification given pursuant to this Section 9.4(d) shall

Subsidiaries (in each case, for acts or failures to act in such capacity) (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that Stratex would have been permitted under Delaware law and its certificate of incorporation or bylaws as in effect on the date of the Original Formation Agreement to indemnify such Person (and Newco shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification).

(b) Any D&O Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 9.18, shall notify Newco promptly after learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Newco shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and, if Newco agrees to assume such defense, Newco shall not be liable to such D&O Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of such D&O Indemnified Parties’ counsel or any other expenses incurred by such D&O Indemnified Parties after Newco assumes such defense, (ii) the D&O Indemnified Parties will cooperate, at Newco’s expense, in the defense of any such matter, and (iii) Newco shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that Newco shall not have any obligation hereunder to any D&O Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such D&O Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain Stratex’s existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) covering those Persons who are covered by Stratex’s D&O Insurance in effect as of the date of the Original Formation Agreement so long as the annual premium therefor is not in excess of 200% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of the Original Formation Agreement, which is set forth in Section 9.18 of the Stratex Disclosure Letter (the “Current Premium”); provided, however, that if the existing D&O Insurance exceeds 200%, expires, is terminated or cancelled during such six-year period, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain as much D&O Insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for a premium not in excess (on an annualized basis) of 200% of the Current Premium (such 200% amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”). In lieu of purchasing D&O Insurance pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Stratex may purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy prior to the Effective Time on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties than the existing D&O Insurance maintained by Stratex; provided, that the amount paid by Stratex shall not exceed two (2) times the Maximum Annual Premium. Stratex shall cooperate with Xxxxxx in good faith to explore the possibility of satisfying the obligations of Newco under this Section 9.18(c) by purchasing a “tail” period policy satisfying the requirements of this Section 9.18(c). If such “tail” prepaid policy has been obtained by Stratex prior to the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policy in full force and effect, for its full term, and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, and all other obligations under this Section 9.18(c) shall terminate.

(d) If Newco or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Newco shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 9.18.

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

A-62

the D&O Indemnified Parties under this Section 9.18 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

9.19. Takeover Statute. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the shares of Stratex Common Stock, the Contribution Transaction, the Merger or the other Transactions, Stratex and its Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Statute on shares of Stratex Common Stock, the Contribution Transaction, the Merger or the other Transactions.

A-66

12.4. Third Party Claims. If any claim or action by a third party is made in writing against a Xxxxxx Indemnified Person or a Newco Indemnified Person (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement and such Indemnified Party intends to seek such indemnity, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification may be sought hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such claim or action; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Party to such give such notice promptly will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein or, at its election, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE XII for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel provided by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate set of counsel at any time for all Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to their regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. No indemnification shall be available in respect of any settlement of any action or claim effected by an Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

12.5. Tax and Insurance Adjustments. Any and all Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder shall be (a) increased to take into account any net Taxes actually payable by the applicable Indemnified Parties attributable to the receipt of such payment (grossed up for such increase) and (b) reduced to take into account any net tax benefit actually realized by the applicable Indemnified Party as a result of incurring such Losses or any insurance proceeds actually recovered in respect of such Losses (net of any cost of recovery or increased premiums resulting therefrom) and each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover all available insurance proceeds.

13.10. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability or the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a disclosure letter to this Agreement shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Such information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material,” “Stratex Material Adverse Effect,” “Xxxxxx Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.
