Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 23, 2010, Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “ Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aviat U.S., Inc. (formerly known as Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation) (“ Aviat US”) and Aviat US’ wholly-owned subsidiary Aviat Networks (S) Pte. Ltd. (formerly known as Harris Stratex Networks (S) Pte. Ltd.) (“ Aviat Singapore,” and together with the Company and Aviat US, the “ Borrowers”), entered into an amendment (the “ Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2008 (the “ Credit Facility”), among the Borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Lender, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Silicon Valley Bank, as Lender and L/C Issuer, the other lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., Hong Kong Branch, as Singapore Loan Agent. The Amendment is effective as of July 2, 2010.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the applicable margin in respect of commitment fees, letters of credit and Eurodollar rate loans has been modified from a multi-level system in which the margin for commitment fees ranged from .25% to .50% and the margins for Eurodollar rate loans and letters of credit ranged from 1.25% to 2.00% (each based on the Company’s reported consolidated debt leverage ratio) to a one-level system in which the margin for commitment fees is .50% and the margins for Eurodollar rate loans and letters of credit is 1.00%.
In addition, the consolidated debt leverage ratio covenant has been removed from the Credit Facility pursuant to the Amendment and is no longer in effect. Furthermore, the minimum liquidity ratio covenant and the components comprising the liquidity ratio have been amended from (a) 1.75:1, consisting of the ratio of (i) the sum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus marketable securities and 50% of accounts receivable divided by (ii) the total obligations under the Credit Facility to (b) 1.25:1, consisting of the ratio of (i) the sum of cash and cash equivalents plus marketable debt securities and 100% of accounts receivable divided by (ii) total current liabilities (but excluding from such amount the loans and letters of credit obligations under the Credit Facility that are secured by cash collateral). The liquidity ratio is calculated for the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and is based on the Company’s consolidated reported quarterly financial results.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Credit Facility, which was previously unsecured, is secured by the pledge by the Borrowers of cash and deposit account balances in amounts equal to 100% of all of the U.S. dollar loans and letters of credit and 105% of all non-U.S. dollar loans and letters of credit under the Credit Facility. Certain other restrictions under the Credit Facility remain in place, including a negative pledge on assets, restrictions on additional indebtedness and limitations on capital expenditures, payment of dividends, redemptions and repurchases of debt, liens, sale and leaseback transactions, certain investments, guarantees and other obligations, mergers and acquisitions, and disposition of assets.
