<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no
director of the Registrant will be personally liable to the Registrant or any
of its stockholders for monetary damages arising from the director&#146;s breach of
his fiduciary duties. However, such exemption from liability does not apply
with respect to any action in which the director would be liable under Section
174 of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;Delaware Law&#148;), nor
does it apply with respect to any liability in which the director (i)&nbsp;breached
his duty of loyalty to the Registrant; (ii)&nbsp;did not act in good faith or, in
failing to act, did not act in good faith; (iii)&nbsp;acted in a manner involving
intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, acted
in a manner involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; or
(iv)&nbsp;derived an improper personal benefit.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;145 of Delaware Law, the Registrant
as a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right
of the Registrant) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or of any corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for which he or she is or
was serving in such capacity at the request of the Registrant, against any and
all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement which were
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding. The power to indemnify applies only if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best
interests, or not opposed to the best interests, of the Registrant and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The power to indemnify also applies to actions brought by or in the right
of the Registrant, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses
and not to the satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself.
In such actions, however, no indemnification will be made if there is any
adjudication of negligence or misconduct, unless the court, in its discretion,
finds that in the light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent any such person is successful in the defense of the actions
referred to above, such person is entitled pursuant to Section&nbsp;145 of Delaware
Law to indemnification as described above. Section&nbsp;145 also grants the power
to advance litigation expenses upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such
advances in the event no right to indemnification is subsequently

anyone who might be indemnified, or has a right to insist on indemnification,
under the statute.

directors and certain officers which provide for indemnification to the fullest
extent permitted by Delaware Law, including Section&nbsp;145 thereof. The
Registrant may also enter into similar agreements from time to time with future
directors and/or present or future officers of the Registrant.

of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of the expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

DMC Stratex Networks, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by
reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
1. The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended

1934 (the "Exchange Act").
2. The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended

provisions applicable to the Registrant's outstanding Common Stock.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement,
and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be

1
Table of Contents
statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no
director of the Registrant will be personally liable to the Registrant or any
of its stockholders for monetary damages arising from the director's breach of
his fiduciary duties. However, such exemption from liability does not apply
with respect to any action in which the director would be liable under Section
174 of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Delaware Law"), nor
does it apply with respect to any liability in which the director (i) breached
his duty of loyalty to the Registrant; (ii) did not act in good faith or, in
failing to act, did not act in good faith; (iii) acted in a manner involving
intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, acted
in a manner involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; or
(iv) derived an improper personal benefit.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 145 of Delaware Law, the Registrant
as a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right
of the Registrant) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or of any corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for which he or she is or
was serving in such capacity at the request of the Registrant, against any and
all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement which were
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding. The power to indemnify applies only if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best
interests, or not opposed to the best interests, of the Registrant and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The power to indemnify also applies to actions brought by or in the right
of the Registrant, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses
and not to the satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself.
In such actions, however, no indemnification will be made if there is any
adjudication of negligence or misconduct, unless the court, in its discretion,
finds that in the light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.
To the extent any such person is successful in the defense of the actions
referred to above, such person is entitled pursuant to Section 145 of Delaware
Law to indemnification as described above. Section 145 also grants the power
to advance litigation expenses upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such
advances in the event no right to indemnification is subsequently

shown. A corporation may also obtain insurance at its expense to protect
anyone who might be indemnified, or has a right to insist on indemnification,
under the statute.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and certain officers which provide for indemnification to the fullest
extent permitted by Delaware Law, including Section 145 thereof. The
Registrant may also enter into similar agreements from time to time with future
directors and/or present or future officers of the Registrant.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
3
Table of Contents
provided, however,
that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1) (ii) do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities bring registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
(b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of the expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
