Re: Your Change in Control Agreement

Dear Xxxxxxx:

Upon execution by you, this letter will constitute your Change in Control Agreement (“Agreement”) with Radyne Corporation., (the “Company”).

1. Term.    This Agreement will become effective September 27, 2007 and will terminate when you terminate your employment with the Company.

2. Termination in Connection with a Change in Control.    In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan, a copy of which definition is attached), you will be entitled to receive the following:

(a) Immediately prior to the effective date of a Change of Control, all stock options granted to you and not otherwise vested shall vest and become exercisable by you for a minimum of 90 days (or, if longer, the term thereof) so that you may participate in the Change of Control transaction to the fullest extent feasible, provided, however, that if the acceleration of your options would cause a charge to the Company’s earnings, then at the Company’s option it may offer you a consulting position for the term of your options during which your options would continue to vest;

(b) Upon any termination of your employment after a Change of Control, for a period of eighteen months from the date of your termination, the Company will pay for the COBRA benefits due you;

(c) If you are terminated without Cause (as defined in the attachments), or you resign for Good Reason (as set forth in the attachment within the first twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control upon such event you shall be paid in a lump sum an amount equal to two times your current salary from the Company. Such amount shall be paid upon Employee’s notice to the Trustee as provided in subparagraph (d), but in any event payment shall be made no later than March 15th of the year following such termination without Cause or for Good Reason as provided above.

(d) Upon a Change in Control funds sufficient to satisfy your Change of Control payments in (b) or (c) above shall be deposited into a trust account maintained by a major financial institution and shall be paid to you upon your written notice to the Trustee to the effect that you have been terminated without Cause or you have resigned for Good Reason. The funds deposited with the financial institution shall remain subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company and its successor, until paid to Executive in accordance with this subparagraph 2(d). The Company shall not have the ability to prevent such payment from the trust upon proper notice, but shall have the right to dispute your termination as provided in Section 8 below, and pursue all other available remedies.

(e) To the extent that the benefits provided to you upon a Change in Control would exceed the amount deductible pursuant to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor law), or the rules and regulations thereunder, and thereby result in an excise tax payable by you, then at least 30 days prior to the due date of any such tax, the Company shall pay you an amount equal to the tax (together with any tax on such payment).

(f) The payments provided for in this Section 2 are in lieu of payments that would be made under Section 6A of your Employment Agreement, and are not in addition to payments that may become due thereunder.

3. Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) For a period of 1 year from any termination of your employment, (or, if later, upon conclusion of your service as a consultant), you shall not, directly or indirectly, for your own benefit or for, with or through any other individual, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or other capacity, own, manage, operate, control, advise, invest in (except as a 1% or less shareholder of a public company), loan money to, or participate or assist in the ownership, management, operation or control of or be associated as a director, officer, employee, partner, consultant, advisor, creditor, agent, independent contractor or otherwise with, or acquiesce in the use of your name by, any business enterprise that is in direct competition with the Company or any subsidiary within the United States of America or any other country that the Company conducts business at the time of your termination.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, at all times during the period of your employment and for 1 year after any termination thereof (or, if later, upon conclusion of your services as a consultant), you will not, directly or indirectly (as described above), for your benefit or for, with or through any business, hire, employ, solicit, or otherwise encourage or entice any of the Company’s (or subsidiary’s) employees or consultants to leave or terminate their employment with the Company.

(c) You and the Company consider the restrictions contained in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above to be reasonable for the purpose of preserving the Company’s proprietary rights and interests. If a court makes a final judicial determination that any such restrictions are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable against you, you and the Company hereby authorize such court to amend this Agreement so as to produce the broadest, legally enforceable agreement, and for this purpose the restrictions on time period, geographical area and scope of activities set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above are divisible; if the court refuses to do so, you and the Company hereto agree to modify the provisions held to be unenforceable to preserve each party’s anticipated benefits thereunder to the maximum extent legal.

(d) You acknowledge and agree that the Company’s remedies at law for breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Paragraph would be inadequate. Therefore, you agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by you of the provisions in this Paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to, in addition to its remedies at law and without posting any bond, equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction, or any other equitable remedy that may then be available.
