The Purchaser grants no rights to the Seller under this Section 10.4(a) under any improvements to the Assigned Patents made by the Purchaser after the Effective Date.

10.5 Inventory Defects. Prior to making any claim under Section 9.2 specifically relating to any defects or deficiencies in the inventory included on Part 2.8(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, Purchaser shall use its Best Efforts to have suppliers of component parts of such defective or deficient inventory correct such defects or deficiencies to the extent the defects or deficiencies are related to such component parts.

SERVICES AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT

THIS SERVICES AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into this 24th day of September, 2002 (the “Effective Date”), between SIGNAL TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (“Signal”), a Delaware corporation with its principal offices at 222 Rosewood Drive, Northwoods Business Park, Danvers, Massachusetts 01923 and ENDWAVE CORPORATION (“Endwave”), a Delaware corporation with its principal offices at 990 Almanor Avenue, Sunnyvale, California 94085.

WHEREAS, Endwave and Signal are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), dated as of September 24, 2002, pursuant to which Signal agreed to sell to Endwave and Endwave agreed to purchase from Signal the Acquired Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement); and

WHEREAS, in connection with Endwave’s purchase of the Acquired Assets, Signal is willing to perform certain manufacturing services, provide Transitional Services (as defined below) and Consulting Services (as defined below) and provide certain Endwave Products (as defined below) to Endwave;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and warranties contained in this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. ENDWAVE PRODUCTS.

In connection with Endwave’s purchase of the Acquired Assets and in an effort to assist Endwave in satisfying its product shipment requirements, Signal shall, for a period of time beginning on the Effective Date and terminating ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (the “Endwave Product Order Period”), manufacture and deliver the products set forth in Schedule A (“Endwave Products”).

Signal understands and agrees that it may manufacture Endwave Products only pursuant to Orders (as defined below) submitted by Endwave. Signal may not, and hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Endwave: (i) manufacture Endwave Products on behalf of itself or any party other than Endwave; (ii) distribute Endwave Products to any third party; or (iii) use any Endwave Product for its own purposes or on behalf of any third party.

Signal shall manufacture the Endwave Products in a competent and professional manner, consistent with its past manufacturing standards, and using qualified personnel who have sufficient knowledge, skill and experience to enable them to perform the duties and responsibilities assigned to them in connection with this Agreement.

Signal shall manufacture the Endwave Products at Signal’s Beverly, Massachusetts facility, using Endwave-owned equipment and materials (including Acquired Assets) as may be required to manufacture such products (the “Endwave Equipment”). For so long as Signal manufactures the Endwave Products under this Agreement, Endwave shall leave the Endwave Equipment in place at Signal’s Beverly, Massachusetts facility.

All deliveries of Endwave Products shall be F.O.B. Signal’s Beverly, Massachusetts facility.

2. ORDER OF PRODUCTS; SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY.

During the Endwave Product Order Period, Endwave shall prepare and deliver to Signal purchase orders for the Endwave Products at Endwave’s discretion (each an “Order”). Use of such Orders shall be solely to designate the Endwave Products desired by Endwave for invoicing purposes only. The pre-printed or other terms and conditions appearing on the face and reverse side of any such Order or incorporated therein shall have no force or effect. Only the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the Orders. Signal shall notify Endwave within seven (7) days of receipt of an Order whether Signal will accept such Order and will provide an explanation for any rejection. Signal will make best efforts to accept Endwave Orders. If Signal rejects an Order within the foregoing notice period, the parties shall work together in good faith to develop a mutually agreeable Order for supply of the Endwave Products for the applicable month.

Upon written notice to Signal, Endwave will be entitled to cancel or reschedule all or part of a delivery of the Endwave Products for thirty (30) days, by giving written notice to Signal prior to the scheduled delivery date set forth in the applicable Order. However, in no event shall deliveries for Endwave Products be scheduled beyond 30 days after the end of the Endwave Product Order Period without the prior consent of Signal .

In connection with the manufacture and testing of Endwave Products, Endwave shall provide continuous on-site supervision and management personnel (“Supervisory Personnel”) at no cost to Signal. It shall be the responsibility of the Supervisory Personnel to provide appropriate direction to the Signal workforce identified in Schedule B (the “Manufacturing Support Employees”)

Endwave will specify carrier and mode of transportation on each Order. If Signal fails to ship via the designated carrier, Signal shall be liable for any and all additional shipping expenses that Endwave incurs.

Signal shall promptly notify Endwave in writing of Signal’s anticipated inability to meet, in whole or in part, any agreed to delivery schedule, stating the reasons for the delay, and the parties will negotiate in good faith any issues arising therefrom.

3. LABOR. Signal shall provide the necessary labor required to supply to Endwave the Endwave Products set forth in each Order. Signal shall utilize the employees listed on Schedule B to supply Endwave Products. In the event that the listed employees are not available to produce the Endwave products, Signal will notify Endwave and provide alternate candidates for Endwave’s approval prior to manufacturing Endwave Products. Additionally, during the Endwave Product Order Period, Signal shall provide the necessary labor required to procure and manage materials necessary for the manufacture of Endwave Products (the “Materials Procurement Services”). Signal shall utilize the employees listed on Schedule C to supply the Materials Procurement Services (the “Materials Procurement Employees”).

4. ADDITIONAL ITEMS. In the event that Signal reasonably requires materials or equipment in addition to the Endwave Equipment and the common inventory stock maintained on the production floor in order to manufacture the Endwave Products, Signal shall notify Endwave of the additional materials or equipment it requires and Endwave shall cause all such materials or equipment to be timely delivered to Signal. In the event that Endwave fails to timely deliver such additional materials or equipment to Signal, Signal shall be relieved of its obligation to perform the affected portion of this Agreement and any failure on the part of Endwave to timely make any such delivery of materials shall not extend the term of this Agreement or make Signal liable for any late performance. However, if Signal has the required materials available in its own stocks, Signal shall, upon the written approval of Endwave, provide such materials and shall be reimbursed by Endwave at Signal’s cost for such materials.

5. SERVICE FEE FOR ENDWAVE PRODUCTS AND TRANSITION EMPLOYEES. In exchange for Signal’s supply of the Endwave Products and Materials Procurement Services to Endwave under this Agreement, Endwave shall pay Signal a fee (the “Service Fee”). The Service Fee shall be paid to cover materials and the time of the workforce described in Schedules B and C required to manufacture Endwave Products and provide the Materials Procurement Services. Direct reimbursement for material and/or inventory used in excess of the product parts list or common inventory stock maintained on the production floor in manufacturing of products is subject to Endwave’s approval. The Service fee shall be calculated in the following manner:

The total hourly rate for each of the Manufacturing Support Employees and the Materials Procurement Employees is as noted on Schedules B and C and shall be multiplied by the actual number of hours spent by each Manufacturing Support Employee and Materials Procurement Employee in producing Endwave Products or providing Materials Procurement Services pursuant to this Agreement.

The Service Fee shall not include any overtime if overtime is required to manufacture the Endwave Products or to provide the Materials Procurement Services. The fee for any such overtime shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties on a case by case basis.

The Service Fee shall not include any expenses associated with employment-related expenses (such as benefits, taxes, severance costs) for the employees manufacturing the Endwave Products or the Materials Procurement Employees, except to the extent such expenses are included in the total hourly rates as noted on Schedules B and C. All such expenses not included in the total hourly rates as

note

on Schedules B and C are to be borne solely by Signal at no expense to Endwave.

6. TRANSITION SERVICES.

The Transition Services shall be provided by Signal for a minimum of ninety (90) days beyond the effective date. Signal will also provide to Endwave access to Signal’s Oracle database/MRP system for a minimum of one hundred eighty (180) days beyond the Effective Date.

7. CONSULTING SERVICES. From time to time up to six (6) months following the Effective Date, and subject to the reasonable advance request of Endwave, Signal shall provide consulting services (“Consulting Services”) on a commercially reasonable basis and at a commercially reasonable cost to be reimbursed by Endwave with respect to issues such as regulatory affairs, accounting and financial affairs, personnel issues and integration of intellectual property solely related to matters pertaining to the Acquired Assets.

Signal warrants that it will perform the Consulting Services in a competent and professional manner, consistent with commercially reasonable standards, and using qualified personnel who have sufficient knowledge, skill and experience to enable them to perform the duties and responsibilities assigned to them in connection with this Agreement.

8. SCHEDULES. Each of the Schedules attached hereto shall constitute a part of this Agreement and may be amended from time to time by the mutual written consent of each of Endwave and Signal.

9. RESPONSIBILITY. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, all Signal personnel providing Transition Services or Consulting Services, will be deemed employees of Signal for all purposes, and Signal shall pay and be responsible for all federal, state and local income taxes and other payroll taxes, as well as contributions for unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, pensions, or annuities that are now or may hereafter be required to be deducted from the wages of such employees, and will file all required returns related to such taxes, contributions and payroll deductions.

FORM OF OPINION LETTER FROM COUNSEL TO THE SELLER

1. The Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in corporate good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The Seller has the requisite corporate power to own the Acquired Assets and to conduct the Business as it is currently being conducted, as described in the Seller’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and its Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, and is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

3. The Transactional Agreements have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and constitute valid and binding agreements of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms.

4. The execution and delivery of the Transactional Agreements by the Seller and the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets and the Seller’s assignment of the Assumed Liabilities to the Purchaser do not (a) violate any provision of the Seller’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, each as amended and in effect as of the date hereof, or (b) constitute a material default under the provisions of any agreement known to us and listed as an exhibit to the Seller’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, and to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound (including without limitation the Acquired Contracts), in each case except for any violations that individually or in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Acquired Assets, financial condition, or operations of the Business, and (c) violate or contravene (i) any provision of the DGLC, Massachusetts law or any federal statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller or (ii) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award that has been entered against the Seller and of which we are aware, the violation or contravention of which would materially and adversely affect the Acquired Assets, financial condition, or operations of the Business.

5. To the best of our knowledge, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened in writing against the Seller that questions the validity of the Transactional Agreements or may adversely affect the Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions thereby contemplated.

6. The Bill of Sale has been duly authorized by Seller by all necessary corporate action, and has been executed by an authorized officer of the Seller.
