Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     (e) Adoption of Compensatory Plan. On August 27, 2008, the Board of Directors of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Harris Stratex Networks Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan specifies the terms under which cash incentive awards may be made to key employees from time to time, including annual cash bonus awards.
     The Plan will be administered by the Company’s Compensation Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors. Awards under the plan will be based on performance criteria used to establish performance goals during the applicable performance period and limited to: (i) cash flow (before or after dividends), (ii) earnings per share (including, without limitation, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (iii) stock price, (iv) return on equity, (v) stockholder return or total stockholder return, (vi) return on capital (including, without limitation, return on total capital or return on invested capital), (vii) return on investment, (viii) return on assets or net assets, (ix) market capitalization, (x) economic value added, (xi) debt leverage (debt to capital), (xii) revenue, (xiii) sales or net sales, (xiv) backlog, (xv) income, pre-tax income or net income, (xvi) operating income or pre-tax profit, (xvii) operating profit, net operating profit or economic profit, (xviii) gross margin, operating margin or profit margin, (xix) return on operating revenue or return on operating assets, (xx) cash from operations, (xxi) operating ratio, (xxii) operating revenue, (xxiii) market share improvement, (xxiv) general and administrative expenses or (xxv) customer service. The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that for purposes of compliance with Internal Revenue Code section 162(m), awards or portion of an award under the plan during the applicable performance period will not exceed $2,500,000 pro-rated based on the number of days a participating individual was a participant in the Plan during the applicable performance period. The Plan provides that incentive awards will be payable in full at the target performance goal level in the event of a change of control, as defined. The Plan will be submitted for stockholder approval at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, and, if it is so approved, awards under the Plan are intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” under the regulations issued under Internal Revenue Code section 162(m).
Item 5.03   Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
     (a) Amendments to Bylaws. On August 27, 2008 the Board of Directors adopted amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. Articles III, V and VI were amended to eliminate references to vice presidents. In Article III, Section 7, any officer appointed by the Board of Directors (rather than any vice president) is authorized to call meetings of the Board of Directors. In Article V, Section 10, an officer designated by the Board of Directors (rather than a vice president) will succeed to the president if the president is unable or unwilling to act. In addition, Article III, Section 15 providing for officer observers of the Board of Directors has been deleted.
     A copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the foregoing description of the changes incorporated therein is qualified in its entirety by this reference.

In the event of the failure of the stockholders to fix the time or place of such first meeting of the newly elected Board of Directors, or in the event such meeting is not held at the time and place so fixed by the stockholders, the meeting may be held at such time and place as shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the directors.

     Section 10. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
     Section 11. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.
     In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.
     Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it, but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the certificate of incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporation’s property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending the Bylaws of the corporation, and, unless the resolution or the certificate of incorporation expressly so

No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.
     Section 14. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.

If required by the Board of Directors, the chief financial officer shall give the corporation a bond (which shall be renewed every six years) in such sum and with such surety or sureties as shall be satisfactory to the Board of Directors for the faithful performance of the duties of his office and for the restoration to the corporation, in case of his death, resignation, retirement or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money and other property of whatever kind in his possession or under his control belonging to the corporation.
     Section 16. The assistant treasurer, or if there shall be more than one, the assistant treasurers in the order determined by the Board of Directors (or if there be no

-10-


 

such determination, then in the order of their election) shall, in the absence of the chief financial officer or in the event of his inability or refusal to act, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the chief financial officer and shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe.
ARTICLE VI
STOCK
     Section 1. The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided however that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock may be uncertificated shares. However, every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the president or the chief financial officer and the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by the stockholder in the corporation.
     Certificates may be issued for partly paid shares and in such case upon the face or back of the certificates issued to represent any such partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor, and the amount paid thereon shall be specified.
     If the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualification, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate which the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate which the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
     Section 2. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
     Section 3. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in

-11-


 

its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
     Section 4. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.
     Section 5. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting: provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
     Section 6. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

     Section 2.

-12-


 

Directors shall think conducive to the interest of the corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.
     Section 3. All checks or demands for money and notes of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.
     Section 4. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.
     Section 5. The Board of Directors may adopt a corporate seal having inscribed thereon the name of the corporation, the year of its organization and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware”. The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.
     Section 6. Each person who was or is made a party to or witness or other participant in or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (hereinafter a “designee”), whether the basis of the proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or designee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or designee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, liability and loss (including, without limitation, all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any of the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively “expenses”, which expenses shall also include without limitation any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification or advancement under this Section 6 or Article VII, Section 7 or 8) reasonably incurred or suffered by such director, officer or designee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Article VII, Section 8, the corporation shall indemnify any such director, officer or designee seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such director, officer or designee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation. The corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors, officers and designees.
     Section 7. Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any person in defending any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or designee of the corporation shall be advanced by the corporation prior to the final disposition of such proceeding; provided, however, that if the General Corporation Law of Delaware

-13-


 

requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director, officer or designee in his or her capacity as a director, officer or designee (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director, officer or designee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director, officer or designee to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director, officer or designee is not entitled to be indemnified under Article VII, Section 6 or this Section 7 or otherwise.
     Section 8. If a claim under either Article VII, Section 6 or 7 is not paid in full by the corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or the stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or the stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
     Section 9. Article VII, Sections 6 and 7 shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each director who serves in such capacity at any time while this Bylaw is in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.
     Section 10. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent such additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the certificate of incorporation. Persons seeking indemnification or advancement may seek either or both at his or her discretion and the pursuit of one shall neither be deemed a waiver of such person’s rights to pursue the other, nor shall it have any effect on the outcome of such person’s pursuit of the other. Nothing contained in Article VII, Section 6, 7, 8 or 9 or this Section 10 shall affect any right to indemnification to which

-14-


 

persons other than directors, officers or designees may be entitled by contract or otherwise. Nothing in this section shall restrict the power of the corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, designees, employees or agents under any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as amended from time to time, or under any other provision of law from time to time applicable to the corporation, nor shall anything in Article VII, Section 6, 7, 8 or 9 or this Section 10 authorize the corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, designees, employees or agents in situations prohibited by the General Corporation Law of Delaware or other applicable law.
ARTICLE VIII

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed or new Bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors, when such power is conferred upon the Board of Directors by the certificate of incorporation, at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors if notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws be contained in the notice of such special meeting. If the power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws is conferred upon the Board of Directors by the certificate of incorporation, it shall not divest or limit the power of the stockholders to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws.
