Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 2, 2011, Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aviat U.S., Inc. (“Aviat US”) and Aviat US’ wholly-owned subsidiary Aviat Networks (S) Pte. Ltd. (“Aviat Singapore,” and together with the Company and Aviat US, the “Borrowers”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2010, as amended (the “Credit Facility”) among the Borrowers and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”). The Amendment is effective as of November 2, 2011.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity date of the $40 million revolving credit line under the Credit Facility was extended to February 28, 2014. Furthermore, the Credit Facility now includes a term loan provision for up to $8.25 million which may be drawn by the Borrowers between November 2, 2011 and January 31, 2012, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest on the term loan will accrue at a rate of 5% per annum and principal and interest is to be repaid in twenty-four equal monthly installments commencing on the last day of the month following funding. Borrowings in respect of the term loan will reduce the amount otherwise available for letters of credit and revolving credit line advances under the Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the liquidity ratio requirement for Borrowers has been revised to be the ratio of (a)(i) the unrestricted domestic cash and cash equivalents and domestic short and long-term marketable securities of the Company and Aviat US, plus (ii) the sum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30 million, of Aviat Singapore which are either managed by the Bank or maintained in a domestic account with the Bank, plus (iii) the lesser of 25% of eligible accounts receivable of the Borrowers or $12.5 million, divided by (b) the total amount of obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility, including letters of credit, at 1:50:1 or above. In addition, the Borrowers are required to maintain certain minimum quarterly consolidated EBITDA per fiscal quarter.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the amount available to the Borrowers under the Credit Facility is now equal to (a) the lesser of (i) the $40 million revolving line amount and (ii) the amount available under a borrowing base equal to $10 million plus 45% of eligible accounts of the Borrowers, minus (b) the dollar equivalent of all advances (including amounts in respect of the term loan) and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility.

The foregoing description does not constitute a complete summary of the Amendment and is qualified by reference in its entirety to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed herewith as an exhibit and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
