Exhibit 10.2




Endwave Corporation

Executive Incentive Compensation Plan for Fiscal Year 2008




I. PHILOSOPHY



Attainment of the goals of Endwave Corporation (“Endwave”) for each fiscal year will require that
its executive team work seamlessly together in building sales revenues, examining and executing on
strategic opportunities, maintaining cost control and focusing on the bottom line. The basis for
the incentive plan is a combination of Endwave’s Annual Operating Plan as well as personal
contributions to meeting our annual corporate goals.



The award of bonuses will be discretionary, administered by Endwave’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) and its Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), and based upon several factors,
including but not limited to: individual performance; team work; exhibited leadership; and efforts
in the sales process.




II. PARTICIPATION:





	 	•	 	All Endwave regular, executive employees as determined by the Board (“Officers”) will
participate in the incentive plan.
	 
	 	•	 	An officer who worked less than twelve months, but more than one month (new hires and
those on leave of absence) in a given year will receive a prorated share of his or her
bonus based on the percent of the year worked.
	 
	 	•	 	Participants must be employed as of the day of bonus payment in order to receive a
bonus.
	 
	 	•	 	Officers are eligible for a target bonus to be determined by the Compensation Committee
of the Endwave Board of Directors (the “Committee”) based on corporate and personal
performance criteria established by the Committee.
	 
	 	•	 	The payment of a bonus to any Officer is totally discretionary and will not be paid if
the Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of the Endwave not to pay
bonuses.
	 
	 	•	 	The bonus payment date for a given year is anticipated to be on or about February 15 of
the following year, after completion of the annual corporate audit.





 









 





III. INCENTIVE PLAN:





	 	•	 	A bonus pool is generated by multiplying a bonus target set by the Committee by the
corporate performance achievement level.
	 
	 	•	 	Corporate performance is determined based upon financial results for the fiscal year in
accordance with the guidelines established by the Committee.
	 
	 	•	 	Individual performance is determined by the Committee.





IV. PERFORMANCE TARGETS:



The corporate performance percentage is based on the critical factors contained in the Annual
Operating Plan. As the plan states, Endwave is focused on the following:





	 	(1)	 	Increasing sales revenues by capturing new customers, expanding current
customers and making acquisitions.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Building gross margins and net income by maintaining high operating leverage,
cost reducing products and capturing non-recurring engineering fees.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Improving operating efficiency through better asset utilization.
	 
	 	(4)	 	Widening Endwave’s position as the leader in technology and quality.





V. BONUS PERCENTAGE:



The performance percentage is calculated by reference to the corporate achievement level for each
of the above items. Various percentages can be earned for each measure depending on whether that
performance is above or below plan.



At the discretion of the Board of Directors, targets may be changed dependent upon Endwave’s
business outlook.




VI. DEFINITIONS:



Sales revenue includes sales of products and recognition of non-recurring engineering fees.



Gross margin is calculated as sales revenue minus cost of goods sold divided by total sales
revenue. Cost of goods sold does not include intangible costs or FAS123R non-cash stock
compensation expense.



Net income is “non-GAAP net income, as reported” and calculated as sales revenue less cost of goods
sold and operating expenses including bonus expense, plus other income (including net interest
income). It does not include intangible costs or FAS123R non-cash stock compensation expense.
