Exhibit 10.14

ENDWAVE CORPORATION

EXECUTIVE OFFICER SEVERANCE AND RETENTION PLAN

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION.

     The purpose of this Plan is to encourage Eligible Executive Officers to remain as valued
employees of the Company. This Plan supersedes any other severance or incentive benefit plan,
policy or practice maintained by the Company, other than the Company’s Transaction Incentive Plan
and the Company’s Key Employee Severance and Retention Plan. This Plan amends and restates, and
supersedes in its entirety, the Company’s “Officer Retention Plan” dated March 31, 2000 and amended
March 5, 2002.

     This Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company. This Plan is effective June
5, 2003 and was amended July 21, 2005. Some of the capitalized terms used in this Plan document
are defined in Section 6 of this Plan. This Plan document is also the Summary Plan Description for
the Plan.

SECTION 2. ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS.

     (a) General Provisions. An Eligible Executive Officer will be eligible to receive Severance
Benefits under this Plan in the event his or her employment with the Company is (a) terminated by
the Company for a reason other than Cause or (b) voluntarily terminated by the Eligible Executive
Officer for Good Reason within 30 days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to
Good Reason during the term of this Plan or within six months following any Change in Control that
occurs during the term of this Plan. An Eligible Executive Officer will be eligible to receive
Retention Benefits under this Plan if (1) the Eligible Executive Officer is employed by the Company
upon the occurrence of any Change in Control that occurs during the term of this Plan or (2) his or
her employment is terminated by the Company without Cause in connection with, and prior to, such
Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Board Composition Change occurs,
an Eligible Executive Officer will be eligible to receive Retention Benefits under this Plan even
if he or she is not so employed upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, as long as he or she
was employed by the Company immediately prior to such Board Composition Change. In order to be
eligible to receive Benefits under this Plan, an Eligible Executive Officer must execute a general
waiver and release in the form attached as Exhibit A (for employees age 40 and over at the time of
execution) or Exhibit B (for employees under the age of 40 at the time of execution) prior to the
payment of such Benefits.

(b) Exceptions.

          (1) An Eligible Executive Officer will not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits if he or
she has a separate agreement with the Company providing for any severance benefits upon his or her
termination of employment with the Company; provided, however, that the Eligible Executive Officer
may, by irrevocable written notice to the Plan Administrator prior

1.

 

to the payment of any Severance Benefits under this Plan or such separate agreement, elect to
receive the Severance Benefits provided under this Plan in lieu of the corresponding benefits under
such separate agreement. Except to the extent an Eligible Executive Officer with a separate
severance agreement makes such an election, such Eligible Executive Officer’s severance benefits,
if any, will be governed solely by the terms of such separate agreement.

     (2) An Eligible Executive Officer will not be entitled to receive Retention Benefits if he or
she has a separate agreement with the Company providing for any benefits occurring upon a Change in
Control (other than pursuant to the Company’s Transaction Incentive Plan); provided, however, that
the Eligible Executive Officer may, by irrevocable written notice to the Plan Administrator prior
to the payment of any Retention Benefits under this Plan or such separate agreement, elect to
receive the Retention Benefits provided under this Plan in lieu of the corresponding benefits under
such separate agreement. Except to the extent an Eligible Executive Officer with a separate
change-in-control agreement makes such an election, such Eligible Executive Officer’s retention
benefits, if any, will be governed solely by the terms of such separate agreement.

     (3) An Eligible Executive Officer will not be entitled to any Benefits if his or her
employment with the Company is terminated for Cause at any time.

     (4) An Eligible Executive Officer will not be entitled to any Severance Benefits if his or her
employment is voluntarily terminated for a reason other than Good Reason or is terminated by reason
of his or her death, retirement, failure to return from a leave of absence or disability.

SECTION 3. AMOUNT OF BENEFIT.

     (a) Retention Benefits. An Eligible Executive Officer’s Retention Benefit will be the
acceleration of vesting of all stock options granted to the Eligible Executive Officer by the
Company, other than the options granted on June 5, 2003, as provided in this Section 3(a). Upon a
Change in Control, each such option automatically will become exercisable (without right of
repurchase) for that number of shares equal to the number of shares that would be purchasable under
the option (without right of repurchase) at the end of the period beginning upon such Change in
Control and ending on the date specified in the following table if the Eligible Executive Officer
were employed by the Company or its successor at the end of such period:

	 	 	 
	Title of Eligible Executive	 	 
	Officer upon Change in Control	 	Acceleration Period
	Chief Executive Officer

	 	Greater of (a) 24 months and (b) 4
months for each full year of
employment by the Company
	 
	 	 
	Executive Vice President

	 	Greater of (a) 18 months and (b) 3
months for each full year of
employment by the Company

     (b) Severance Benefits. An Eligible Executive Officer’s Severance Benefits will be the
benefits set forth in paragraphs (1) through (5) below.

          (1) The Company will continue payment of the Eligible Executive Officer’s base salary (and not
commissions, bonuses or other variable pay) for the period of time after termination of employment
determined in accordance with the following table:

2.

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Salary Continuation Period	 	 
	Title of Eligible	 	Termination Occurs in	 	Termination Occurs Prior to, and
	Executive Officer upon	 	Connection with, or Six Months after,	 	not in Connection with, a Change
	Termination of Employment	 	after, Change in Control	 	Change in Control
	Chief Executive Officer

	 	Greater of (a) 24
months and (b) 4
months for each full
year of employment by
the Company
	 	Greater of (a) 12
months and (b) 2
months for each full
year of employment by
the Company
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Executive Vice President

	 	Greater of (a) 18
months and (b) 3
months for each full
year of employment by
the Company
	 	Greater of (a) 9
months and (b) 1.5
months for each full
year of employment by
the Company

     (2) If the Eligible Executive Officer is, immediately prior to termination of employment,
enrolled in the Company’s health and/or dental plan, the Company will pay the COBRA premiums for
such medical and/or dental insurance coverage for the Eligible Executive Officer and his or her
then-covered dependents for the period of time following termination of employment determined in
accordance with the following table:

	 	 	 
	Title of Eligible Executive	 	 
	Officer upon Termination of Employment	 	COBRA Benefits Period
	Chief Executive Officer

	 	Greater of (a) 12 months and (b) 2
months for each full year of
employment by the Company
	 
	 	 
	Executive Vice President

	 	Greater of (a) 9 months and (b) 1.5
months for each full year of
employment by the Company

No provision of this Plan will affect the continuation coverage rules under COBRA, except that
the Company’s payment of any applicable premiums during the COBRA benefits period set forth in the
foregoing table will be credited as payment by the Eligible Executive Officer for purposes of his
or her payment required under COBRA. The period during which an Eligible Executive Officer must
elect to continue the Company’s group medical or dental coverage at his or her own expense under
COBRA, the length of time during which COBRA coverage will be made available to the Eligible
Executive Officer, and all other rights and obligations of the Eligible Executive Officer under
COBRA (except the obligations of the Company hereunder) will be applied in the same manner that
such rules apply in the absence of this Plan. At the conclusion of the COBRA benefits period set
forth in the foregoing table, the Eligible Executive Officer will be responsible for the entire
payment of premiums required under COBRA for the remainder of the COBRA period, if any. All other
benefits (such as life insurance and disability coverage) terminate as of the employee’s
termination date, except to the extent that any conversion privilege is available thereunder.

     (3) The automatic vesting in full of all stock options granted to the Eligible Executive
Officer by the Company prior to March 31, 2000 upon termination of employment.

     (4) The acceleration of vesting of all stock options granted to the Eligible Executive Officer
by the Company on or after March 31, 2000, other than the options granted on June 5, 2003, as
provided in this paragraph (4). Upon termination of employment, each such option automatically
will become exercisable (without right of repurchase) for that number of shares equal to the number
of shares that would be purchasable under the option (without right of repurchase) at the end of
the period beginning upon termination of employment and ending on

3.

 

the date specified in the following table if the Eligible Executive Officer were employed by the
Company or its successor at the end of such period:

	 	 	 
	Title of Eligible Executive	 	 
	Officer upon Termination of Employment	 	Acceleration Period
	Chief Executive Officer

	 	Greater of (a) 24 months and (b) 4
months for each full year of
employment by the Company
	 
	 	 
	Executive Vice President

	 	Greater of (a) 18 months and (b) 3
months for each full year of
employment by the Company

In the event of a termination of employment in connection with, or within six months after, a
Change in Control, the acceleration of vesting provided by this paragraph (4) is intended to be in
addition to the acceleration of vesting that would have occurred upon the Change in Control
pursuant to Section 3(a).

     (c) Income Tax Liabilities and Withholding. All income tax liabilities with respect to
payments under this Plan will be solely those of the affected Eligible Executive Officer and not
the Company or any other party. The Company will have no obligation to structure Benefit payments
or otherwise administer this Plan in a manner as to reduce or eliminate such liabilities. Payments
under this Plan will be subject to withholdings and deductions as may be required by law.

     (d) Certain Tax Provisions Affecting Amount of Payments. Anything in this Plan to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the event it is determined that any payment by the Company to an
Eligible Executive Officer hereunder (a “Payment”) would cause the Eligible Executive Officer to be
liable for an excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, then the aggregate present value of
all amounts payable as Benefits shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” will
be an amount, expressed in present value, that maximizes the aggregate present value of Benefits
without causing any Payment to create an excise tax liability under Section 4999 of the Code. For
purposes of this Section 3(d), present value will be determined in accordance with Section
280G(d)(4) of the Code.

SECTION 4. TIME OF PAYMENT; RIGHT OF OFFSET.

     (a) Time of Payment. Eligible Executive Officers will receive acceleration of vesting
Benefits upon a Change in Control (in the case of Retention Benefits) or upon termination of
employment (in the case of Severance Benefits). Salary continuation Benefit payments will be made,
at the option of the Plan Administrator, in a lump sum upon termination of employment or in
accordance with the Company’s normal payroll payments. COBRA Benefit payments will be made at
times deemed appropriate by the Plan Administrator. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no
Benefit payment will be made, and no Benefit will be effective, under this Plan prior to the last
day of any waiting period or revocation period as required by applicable law in order for the
general waiver and release required by Section 2(a) of this Plan to be effective.

     (b) Right of Offset. If an Eligible Executive Officer is indebted to the Company at the time
any cash Benefits are payable, the Company reserves the right to offset any such Benefits under
this Plan by the amount of such indebtedness.

4.

 

SECTION 5. RIGHT TO INTERPRET, AMEND AND TERMINATE PLAN; OTHER ARRANGEMENTS; BINDING NATURE OF PLAN.

     (a) Exclusive Discretion. The Plan Administrator will have the exclusive discretion and
authority (1) to establish rules, forms and procedures for the administration of this Plan, (2) to
construe and interpret this Plan and (3) to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation,
definition, computation or administration arising in connection with the operation of this Plan
including, but not limited to, the eligibility to participate in this Plan and the amount of
benefits paid under this Plan. Such rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the
Plan Administrator will be binding and conclusive on all persons.

     (b) Term Of Plan; Amendment Or Termination; Binding Nature Of Plan.

          (1) Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b)(2), this Plan will be effective until six months
after the first Change in Control has occurred; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations
to provide Benefits hereunder shall survive until all such Incentive Benefits have been paid.

          (2) This Plan may not be amended without the written consent of the Plan Administrator and
each Eligible Executive Officer affected by such amendment. This Plan will constitute a
contractual right to the benefits to which such Eligible Executive Officer is entitled hereunder,
enforceable by the Eligible Executive Officer against the Company.

          (3) Any action amending or terminating this Plan will be in writing and executed by an officer
of the Company duly authorized by the Plan Administrator and any Eligible Executive Officers whose
consent is required.

     (c) Other Severance and Retention Arrangements. The Company reserves the right to make other
arrangements regarding severance and retention benefits in special circumstances.

     (d) Binding Effect On Successor To Company. This Plan will be binding upon any successor to
or assignee of the Company or its business or assets, whether direct or indirect, by Change in
Control or otherwise. Any such successor or assignee will be required to perform the Company’s
obligations under this Plan. In such event, the term “Company,” as used in this Plan, will mean
the Company as hereinafter defined and any successor or assignee as described above which by reason
hereof becomes bound by the terms and provisions of this Plan.

SECTION 9. CLAIMS, INQUIRIES AND APPEALS.

     (a) Applications For Benefits And Inquiries. Any application for benefits, inquiries about
the Plan or inquiries about present or future rights under the Plan must be submitted to the Plan
Administrator in writing. The Plan Administrator is the named fiduciary charged with the
responsibility for administering the Plan.

     (b) Denial Of Claims. In the event that any application for benefits is denied in whole or in
part, the Plan Administrator must notify the applicant, in writing, of the denial of the
application, and of the applicant’s right to review the denial. The written notice of denial will
be set forth in a manner designed to be understood by the employee, and will include specific
reasons for the denial, specific references to the Plan provision upon which the denial is based, a
description of any information or material that the Plan Administrator needs to complete the review
and an explanation of the Plan’s review procedure. This written notice will be given to the
employee within 90 days after the Plan Administrator receives the application, unless special
circumstances require an extension of time, in which case, the Plan Administrator has up to an
additional 90 days for processing the application. If an extension of time for processing is
required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant before the end of the
initial 90-day period. This notice of extension will describe the special circumstances
necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Plan Administrator is to render its
decision on the application. If written notice of denial of the application for benefits is not
furnished within the specified time, the application will be deemed to be denied. The applicant
will then be permitted to appeal the denial in accordance with the Review Procedure described
below.

     (c) Request For A Review. Any person (or that person’s authorized representative) for whom an
application for benefits is denied (or deemed denied), in whole or in part, may appeal the denial
by submitting a request for a review to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the application
is denied (or deemed denied). The Plan Administrator will give the applicant (or his or her
representative) an opportunity to review pertinent documents in preparing a request for a review.
A request for a review must be in writing and addressed to:

ENDWAVE CORPORATION

Attn: Plan Administrator for the

Executive Officer Severance and Retention Plan

990 Almanor Avenue

Sunnyvale, CA 94085

A request for review must set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support
of the request and any other matters that the applicant feels are pertinent. The Plan
Administrator may require the applicant to submit additional facts, documents or other material as
it may find necessary or appropriate in making its review.

     (d) Decision On Review. The Plan Administrator will act on each request for review within 60
days after receipt of the request, unless special circumstances require an extension of time (not
to exceed an additional 60 days), for processing the request for a review. If an extension for
review is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant within the
initial 60-day period. The Plan Administrator will give prompt, written notice of its

8.

 

decision to the applicant. In the event that the Plan Administrator confirms the denial of the
application for benefits in whole or in part, the notice will outline, in a manner calculated to be
understood by the applicant, the specific Plan provisions upon which the decision is based. If
written notice of the Plan Administrator’s decision is not given to the applicant within the time
prescribed in this paragraph (d), the application will be deemed denied on review.

     (e) Rules And Procedures. The Plan Administrator will establish rules and procedures,
consistent with the Plan and with ERISA, as necessary and appropriate in carrying out its
responsibilities in reviewing benefit claims. The Plan Administrator may require an applicant who
wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial (or deemed
denial) of benefits to do so at the applicant’s own expense.

     (f) Exhaustion Of Remedies. No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought until
the claimant (1) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with the procedures
described by Section 9(a) above, (2) has been notified by the Plan Administrator that the
application is denied (or the application is deemed denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure
to act on it within the established time period), (3) has filed a written request for a review of
the application in accordance with the appeal procedure described in Section 9(c) above and (4) has
been notified in writing that the Plan Administrator has denied the appeal (or the appeal is deemed
to be denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to take any action on the claim within the
time prescribed by Section 9(d) above).

SECTION 10. BASIS OF PAYMENTS TO AND FROM PLAN.

     All benefits under the Plan will be paid by the Company. The Plan will be unfunded, and
benefits hereunder will be paid only from the general assets of the Company.

SECTION 11. OTHER PLAN INFORMATION.

     (a) Employer And Plan Identification Numbers. The Employer Identification Number assigned to
the Company (which is the “Plan Sponsor” as that term is used in ERISA) by the Internal Revenue
Service is 95-4333817. The Plan Number assigned to the Plan by the Plan Sponsor pursuant to the
instructions of the Internal Revenue Service is 5-15.

     (b) Ending Date For Plan’s Fiscal Year. The date of the end of the fiscal year for the
purpose of maintaining the Plan’s records is December 31.

     (c) Agent For The Service Of Legal Process. The agent for the service of legal process with
respect to the Plan is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, Endwave Corporation, 990 Almanor
Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085.

SECTION 12. STATEMENT OF ERISA RIGHTS.

     Participants in this Plan (which is a welfare benefit plan sponsored by Endwave Corporation)
are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. Each Eligible Executive Officer is
considered a participant in the Plan and, under ERISA, is entitled to:

9.

 

     (a) Examine, without charge, at the Plan Sponsor’s office and at other specified locations,
such as work sites, all Plan documents and copies of all documents filed by the Plan with the U.S.
Department of Labor, such as detailed annual reports;

     (b) Obtain copies of all Plan documents and Plan information upon written request to the Plan
Administrator. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies;

     (c) Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report, in the case of a plan which is
required to file an annual financial report with the Department of Labor. (Generally, all pension
plans and welfare plans with 100 or more participants must file these annual reports.)

     In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people
responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate the Plan,
called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of Plan
participants and beneficiaries.

     No one may fire a Plan participant or otherwise discriminate against a Plan participant in any
way to prevent him or her from obtaining a Plan benefit or exercising his or her rights under
ERISA. If a claim for a Plan benefit is denied in whole or in part, the Plan participant must
receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial. A Plan participant has the right to
have the Plan review and reconsider his or her claim.

     Under ERISA, there are steps a Plan participant can take to enforce the above rights. For
instance, if he or she requests materials from the Plan and does not receive them within 30 days,
he or she may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan
Administrator to provide the materials and pay the Plan participant up to $100 a day until he or
she receives the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the
control of the Plan Administrator. If the Plan participant has a claim for benefits that is denied
or ignored, in whole or in part, he or she may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should
happen that the Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if a Plan participant is discriminated
against for asserting his or her rights, he or she may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of
Labor, or may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and
legal fees. If the Plan participant is successful, the court may order the person sued to pay
these costs and fees. If the Plan participant loses, the court may order the participant to pay
these costs and fees, for example, if it finds his or her claim is frivolous.

     Questions about the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator. Questions about a Plan
participant’s rights under ERISA should be directed to the nearest area office of the U.S. Labor -
Management Services Administration, Department of Labor.

EXHIBIT A

RELEASE AGREEMENT

     I
understand and agree completely to the terms set forth in the ______ Plan (the “Plan”).

     I understand that this Release Agreement, together with the Plan, constitutes the complete,
final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between Endwave Corporation (the “Company”)
and me with regard to the subject matter hereof. I am not relying on any promise or representation
by the Company that is not expressly stated therein. Certain capitalized terms used in this
Release Agreement are defined in the Plan.

     I hereby acknowledge my continuing obligations not to use or disclose confidential or
proprietary information of the Company without prior written authorization from a duly authorized
representative of the Company.

     Except as otherwise set forth in this Release Agreement, in consideration of the benefits I
will receive under the Plan, I hereby generally and completely release the Company and its parents,
subsidiaries, successors, predecessors and affiliates, and its and their partners, members,
directors, officers, employees, stockholders, shareholders, agents, attorneys, predecessors,
insurers, affiliates and assigns, from any and all claims, liabilities and obligations, both known
and unknown, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions
occurring at any time prior to and including the date I sign this Release Agreement. This general
release includes, but is not limited to: (a) all claims arising out of or in any way related to my
employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; (b) all claims related to my
compensation or benefits, including salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, expense

interests in the Company; (c) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and breach
of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (d) all tort claims, including claims for
fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (e) all
federal, state, and local statutory claims, including claims for discrimination, harassment,
retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964
(as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (as amended), the federal Age
Discrimination in Employment Act (as amended) (“ADEA”), the federal Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (as amended), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (as amended).
Provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed in any way to release the
