    VOTING
      AGREEMENT

     

    AGREEMENT
      (the "Agreement") entered into as of February 6, 2006, by and between Joseph
      A.
      Turek (the "Shareholder"), M.A.G. Capital, LLC, a California limited liability
      company ("M.A.G."), and Mercator Momentum Fund III, a California limited
      partnership (the "Lender"), Mercator Momentum Fund, a California limited
      partnership ("Momentum Fund"), and Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd., a corporation
      organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("MPF" and, with the
      Lender and Momentum Fund, the "M.A.G. Funds").

     

    RECITALS

     

    The
      Shareholder is the owner of voting securities of M-Wave, Inc., a Delaware
      corporation (the "Company"). M.A.G. and the M.A.G. Funds (together, the "M.A.G.
      Parties") also own securities issued by the Company. The Company is indebted
      to
      the Lender. The Company has requested that the Lender enter into an agreement
      with the Company entitled First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreements (the
      "Amendment") to modify certain of the terms of the indebtedness of the Company
      to the Lender.

     

    The
      Company has further requested that the M.A.G. Funds enter into various
      agreements with the Company that provide for the exchange by the M.A.G. Funds
      of
      senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Company for its shares of
      Series B Preferred Stock of the Company and warrants to purchase common
      stock (the "Series B Agreements"). The Series B Agreements provide that the
      Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock of the Company,
      but that the amount of common stock that may be acquired pursuant to such
      conversion is limited to that number of shares of common stock that constitutes
      19.9% of the outstanding common stock on the date of the Agreements unless
      and
      until the Shareholders of the Company approve the conversion of all of the
      Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock free from this limitation
      (the "Shareholder Approval"). 

     

    The
      Company intends to attempt to identify and pursue a transaction in which the
      Company would make a significant acquisition of another company or the business
      or assets of another company (an "Acquisition"). The Board of Directors of
      the
      Company has established a special committee of the board (the "Committee")
      to
      review and consider potential Acquisitions.

     

    The
      Lender requires, as a condition to its execution of the Amendment, and the
      M.A.G. Funds require, as a condition to their execution of the Series B
      Agreements, that the Shareholder enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which
      the Shareholder agrees to vote all of the voting securities of the Company
      that
      he owns or otherwise controls (i) in favor of any Acquisition that is
      recommended by the Committee (a "Recommended Acquisition"), (ii) in favor
      of any related proposal or transaction that is necessary to effect any
      Recommended Acquisition, and (iii) in favor of the Shareholder Approval.
      The Shareholder believes that the Amendment and the Series B Agreements
      will provide a direct benefit to the Company and an indirect benefit to him
      as a
      shareholder of the Company and has agreed to enter into this Agreement to induce
      the Lender to execute the Amendment and the M.A.G. Funds to execute the Series
      B
      Agreements.

      Acquisition, (ii) in favor of any related proposal or transaction that is
      necessary to effect any Recommended Acquisition and (iii) in favor of the
      Shareholder Approval. This undertaking shall terminate on the earlier of the

      Shareholder acknowledges that this Agreement is made for the benefit of each
      of
      the M.A.G. Parties, each of which may recover any damages from the Shareholder
