        8.    Addition of Schedules to the Credit Agreement.    The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Schedule 5.8A and Schedule 5.9A thereto in the forms of the attached Schedule 5.8A and Schedule 5.9A, respectively, hereto.

        9.    Consent to the Herley Transactions.    

        (a)    Herley Transactions.    Borrower is seeking to acquire all of the capital stock of Herley through a series of transactions described below (collectively, the "Herley Transactions"), with the result that Herley will become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Borrower. Specifically:

              (i)  Borrower will create a wholly-owned direct Subsidiary corporation ("Acquisition Holdco"), and will cause Acquisition Holdco to create a wholly-owned direct Subsidiary corporation ("Acquisition Co.");

             (ii)  Acquisition Holdco will, or will cause Acquisition Co. to, make a tender offer for all of the outstanding equity interest of Herley (the "Herley Tender Offer");

            (iii)  the completion of the Herley Tender Offer will be followed by a back-end squeeze-out merger, pursuant to which Herley will be merged with and into Acquisition Co, with Herley being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned direct Subsidiary of Acquisition Holdco (the "Squeeze-Out Merger"); and

            (iv)  promptly following the Squeeze-Out Merger, Acquisition Holdco will be merged with and into Borrower, with Borrower being the surviving entity (the "Roll-up Merger" and, together with the Squeeze-Out Merger, collectively, the "Mergers"), so that Herley will become a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of Borrower.

        To finance the Herley Transactions, pay fees and expenses of the Herley Transactions and provide working capital for general corporate purposes, Borrower (A) may issue common equity, from which it would expect to receive net proceeds of up to Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) (the "Equity Offering"), (B) will cause Acquisition Holdco to issue new senior secured notes (the "Herley Acquisition Notes"), from which it expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds of up to Three Hundred Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($325,000,000) less the net proceeds of the Equity Offering, (C) expects to draw up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of Revolving Loans (the "Revolver Draw"), and (D) may use up to Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,800,000) of unrestricted cash on hand of Borrower. Borrower will invest the net proceeds of the Equity Offering, the proceeds of the Revolver Draw and any necessary unrestricted cash on hand of Borrower in Acquisition Holdco, and Acquisition Holdco will use such funds, together with the net proceeds of the Herley Acquisition Notes, to consummate the Herley Tender Offer and the Squeeze-Out Merger.

        The Herley Acquisition Notes will be guaranteed solely by Acquisition Co, and will be secured solely by the assets of Acquisition Holdco and Acquisition Co (other than the equity interests of Herley until Herley becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquisition Holdco). Prior to the Roll-up Merger, neither the Credit Agreement nor the Senior Notes will be guaranteed by, or secured by any of the assets of, Acquisition Holdco, Acquisition Co or Herley (or any of its Subsidiaries). Following the Roll-up Merger, all of the Herley Acquisition Notes will be exchanged for additional Senior Notes to be issued by Borrower under the Senior Notes Indenture (the "Exchange Debt Offering"), which additional Senior Notes will be guaranteed by each Guarantor of Payment and secured by the same collateral as the currently outstanding Senior Notes on a pari passu basis. Any guaranties of, and

4



security interests granted by, Acquisition Holdco and Acquisition Co relating to the Herley Acquisition Notes will terminate and be released upon exchange of the Herley Acquisition Notes for the additional Senior Notes to be issued by Borrower in the Exchange Debt Offering, and after the Roll-up Merger Herley and its Subsidiaries will give guaranties of the Obligations and the Senior Notes and grant security interests in their respective assets as required by the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes Indenture.

        If, in connection with the issuance of the Herley Acquisition Notes and the additional Senior Notes to be issued in the Exchange Debt Offering, Borrower is required to obtain a waiver from the Senior Noteholders (the "Senior Note Waiver"), Borrower may pay a fifty (50.00) basis points fee to each of the Senior Noteholders.

        (b)    Request for Consent.    Certain of the Herley Transactions are prohibited by one or more provisions of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 5.8 (Borrowing), 5.9 (Liens), 5.10 (Regulations T, U and X), 5.11 (Investments, Loans and Guaranties), 5.12 (Merger and Sale of Assets), 5.13 (Acquisitions), 5.15 (Restricted Payments), 5.17 (Affiliate Transactions), 5.20 (Subsidiary Guaranties, Security Documents and Pledge of Stock or Other Ownership Interest), 5.28 (Other Covenants and Provisions), 5.30 (Guaranty Under Material Indebtedness Agreement) and 5.31 (Senior Note Documents). Borrower hereby specifically requests that Agent and the Lenders consent to the Herley Transactions.

        (c)    Consent of Agent and the Lenders.    Notwithstanding any provisions of the Credit Agreement that may restrict or prohibit the Herley Transactions, Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Herley Transactions and Borrower's consummation of the Herley Transactions, subject to the following conditions:

              (i)  after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment (including but not limited to the consent of Agent and the Lenders) and, if applicable, the Senior Note Waiver, Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the Credit Agreement both before and after consummating the Herley Transactions;

             (ii)  after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment (including but not limited to the consent of Agent and the Lenders) and, if applicable, the Senior Note Waiver, no Default or Event of Default shall exist under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;

            (iii)  the Available Liquidity shall be no less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) both before and after giving pro forma effect to the Herley Transactions;

            (iv)  the Herley Transactions are structured and occur substantially as set forth in Section 9(a) hereof;

             (v)  the Roll-up Merger and the Exchange Debt Offering occur within four Business Days of the completion of the Squeeze-Out Merger;

            (vi)  the Herley Transactions are not prohibited by the terms of the Senior Notes Documents (as such terms may be modified by any consent given by the Senior Noteholders);

           (vii)  the additional Senior Notes issued by Borrower in the Exchange Debt Offering are issued pursuant to the Senior Notes Indenture and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement;

          (viii)  neither the Indenture Agent nor any Senior Noteholder files any U.C.C. Financing Statement on the assets of Herley or any of its subsidiaries prior to the date upon which Agent has filed such U.C.C. Financing Statements;

            (ix)  the Herley Transactions are completed on or before June 30, 2011; and

             (x)  Borrower complies with the requirements of Section 10 hereof.

5


This Amendment shall serve as evidence of such consent. The consent contained in this Section 9 shall not be deemed to waive or amend any provision of the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents except with respect to the Herley Transactions, and shall not serve as consent to, or amendment of, any other matter inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents. Except as specifically set forth in this Section 9, all of the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect, and constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Borrower to Agent and the Lenders.

            (a)   cause each Guarantor of Payment to execute the attached Guarantor Acknowledgment and Agreement; and

            (a)   prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of the Roll-up Merger, as defined in Section 9(a)(iv) hereof, Borrower shall enter into a further amendment to the Credit Agreement, to be prepared by and in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, that provides for, among other things, amendments to the schedules to the Credit Agreement to incorporate information relating to the assets acquired pursuant to the Herley Transactions and such other matters as shall be mutually agreed among Borrower, Agent and the Lenders;

            (b)   prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of the Roll-up Merger, Borrower shall consent to an amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement, to be prepared by and in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, that, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, adequately and appropriately accounts for the additional Senior Notes to be issued by Borrower in the Exchange Debt Offering, which amendment shall also be signed by the Indenture Agent;

            (c)   within twenty (20) days after the Roll-up Merger (and, in any event, prior to or contemporaneously with (i) the grant of any security interest in the assets of Herley to the Senior Noteholders, or (ii) the guaranty by Herley or any of its subsidiaries of the additional Senior Notes issued by Borrower in the Exchange Debt Offering), Borrower shall cause Herley and, as appropriate, each Domestic Subsidiary of Herley, to execute and deliver all of the documentation required pursuant to Section 5.20 of the Credit Agreement; and

            (d)   within forty-five (45) days after the Roll-up Merger, Agent shall have received the results of a collateral field audit of Herley and its subsidiaries and, if required by Agent, an appraisal of the Inventory of Herley and its subsidiaries, each to be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

6


and the Lenders in Section 9 hereof) and the Senior Note Waiver, no Default or Event of Default exists, nor will any occur immediately after the execution and delivery of this Amendment or by the performance or observance of any provision hereof; (e) after giving effect to this Amendment (including but not limited to the consent of Agent and the Lenders in Section 9 hereof) and the Senior Note Waiver, each of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents is true and correct in all material respects as of the Second Amendment Effective Date as if made on the Second Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly states that it relates to an earlier date (in which case such representation or warranty is true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); (f) Borrower is not aware of any claim or offset against, or defense or counterclaim to, Borrower's obligations or liabilities under the Credit Agreement or any Related Writing; and (g) this Amendment constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

        13.    No Course of Dealing.    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment is not intended to, nor shall it, establish any course of dealing with respect to the various provisions amended herein, or otherwise, among Borrower, Agent and the Lenders that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Loan Documents.

This Amendment is a Loan Document.

        16.    Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, by different parties hereto in separate counterparts and by facsimile signature, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

        17.    Headings.    The headings, captions and arrangements used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.

        18.    Severability.    Any term or provision of this Amendment held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Amendment and the effect thereof shall be confined to the term or provision so held to be invalid or unenforceable.
