Dear Mr. Levy:

Veritek Manufacturing Services LLC and its affiliated entities are thebeneficial owner of over 4% of the outstanding Common Stock of HerleyIndustries, Inc. ("Herley" or the "Company"). For two months now, our ManagingDirector, Brian Kahn, has repeatedly attempted to communicate with you about ourinterest in pursuing a business combination with Herley. While we enjoyed briefconversations with President John Kelly in June, for the last 30 days allcommunication lines have been cut off completely. Therefore, we are left with noalternative but to send this formal letter to the entire board.

Veritek Manufacturing Services, LLC, is a manufacturer of complex electroniccomponents and assemblies with operations in the United States and Mexico.We would like the opportunity to discuss the potential business combination ofHerley and Veritek. Subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence, webelieve a combination of Herley and Veritek could generate consideration forHerley shareholders in excess of $15.00 per share, a significant premium to thecurrent stock price of $10.50. We believe Herley's assets possess significantvalue but that time is of the essence. We believe new ownership and managementof Herley assets would be viewed favorably by its customers, vendors, employees,and shareholders alike. A prompt conclusion to the recent turmoil at Herleywould also alleviate risks of employee defection while increasing the chances ofmaintaining the highest level of service for Herley's customers.

Once given the opportunity, Veritek is in position to complete due diligenceexpeditiously, and without further disruption to Herley's business.

To reiterate, Veritek has a strong interest in pursuing a strategic businesscombination with Herley and we believe such a combination would be beneficialfor all stakeholders in both companies. We request the opportunity to properlyinvestigate such a transaction. Please call me at (XXX) XXX-XXXX to discuss.

Sincerely,/s/ Brian Kahn
