INTRODUCTION
          On October 13, 2005, Arthur Steinberg, Esq. was appointed receiver of Wood River Capital Management, L.L.C., Wood River Associates, L.L.C., Wood River Partners, L.P., Wood River Partners Offshore, Ltd. and their respective subsidiaries, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Wood River Entities”) pursuant to the Order described in Item 4. A Schedule 13D was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 7, 2005 by the Wood River Entities and John H. Whittier purporting to reflect the acquisition and beneficial ownership of certain shares of Endwave Corporation by the Wood River Entities and Mr. Whittier as of such date (the “Existing Schedule 13D”). A Schedule 13D was filed by Arthur Steinberg, Esq., solely in his capacity as Receiver of the Wood River Entities and not in his individual capacity (the “Receiver”), and the Wood River Entities (collectively with the Receiver, the “Reporting Persons”) on October 24, 2005, primarily to reflect that the Receiver may be deemed the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock of Endwave Corporation due to being appointed Receiver and his duties and responsibilities as the Receiver (the “Original Schedule 13D”).
          On December 7, 2005, the Receiver and the Wood River Entities filed Amendment Number 1 to the Original Schedule 13D (the “First Amendment”) to amend and restate the information in the Original Schedule 13D. On September 26, 2006, the Receiver and the Wood River Entities filed Amendment Number 2 to the Original Schedule 13D (the “Second Amendment”) to amend and restate the information in the Original Schedule 13D and the First Amendment. On May 24, 2007, the Receiver and the Wood River Entities filed Amendment Number 3 to the Original Schedule 13D (the “Third Amendment”) to amend and restate the information in the Original Schedule 13D, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment. This Amendment Number 4 to the Original Schedule 13D (the “Fourth Amendment,” and together with the Original Schedule 13D, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment, are collectively referred to herein as this “Schedule 13D”), the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment amends and restates in its entirety the Original Schedule 13D, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment and amends the information in the Existing Schedule 13D solely to the extent it relates to the Wood River Entities or the shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) of Endwave Corporation that may be deemed to be beneficially owned thereby. Mr. Whittier is not a Reporting Person with respect to this Schedule 13D and the information contained herein relating to him is solely based on the information contained in the Existing Schedule 13D. See Item 4.
          The Receiver is still in the process of determining and correcting the allocation of shares of Endwave Corporation Common Stock held by the Wood River Entities as of October 24, 2005 among the Wood River Entities. The Receiver is in the process of confirming and verifying certain of the other facts and circumstances stated in this Schedule 13D, and therefore, all statements made herein are made based upon the Receiver’s current information and belief and subject to confirmation, correction, change and future amendment.
          The Receiver may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of Endwave Corporation reported herein due to being appointed the Receiver of the Wood River Entities pursuant to the Order described in Item 4. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the filing of this Schedule 13D on behalf of Receiver should not be construed as an admission that the Receiver is, and the Receiver disclaims that he is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any of the securities covered by this Schedule 13D.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
     This Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Endwave Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 130 Baytech Drive, San Jose, CA 95134.

(2) . . . Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. Sec. 77q(a)], by, in the offer or sale of any security using any means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or by use of the mails, directly or indirectly: (a) to employ any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud; (b) to obtain money or property by means of any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (c) to engage in any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the purchaser;

(4) . . . Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. Sec. 78p(a)], and Rules 16a-2 and 16a-3 thereunder [17 C.F.R.

Sec. 80b-6(1) and (2)].

          A copy of the Order was attached to the Original Schedule 13D and is hereby incorporated herein by this reference.

          Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer is required to cause a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the Common Stock held by the Wood River Entities to be made effective and to take such action as is necessary to cause the Registration Statement to remain continuously effective for a period of one year from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (subject to extension under certain circumstances). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer and the Receiver are each further required to engage a national investment bank and the Issuer is required to cooperate with the Receiver in effecting either an underwritten offering or a registered direct offering, at the Receiver’s election, of the Common Stock held by the Wood River Entities. Each of these obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary of the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement and (ii) the date on which the Wood River Entities hold less than ten percent of the then-outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. The Registration Statement was filed with the Commission on June 26, 2007 and declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on July 27, 2007.
          Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement, the Issuer Purchase Agreement and the Investor Purchase Agreement (each as defined and defined in Item 6 below), certain of the Wood River Entities have sold all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Wood River Entities, amended the Registration Rights Agreement to permit such sales and the Registration Rights Agreement has been terminated.
          Except to the extent that the matters discussed in this Schedule 13D may be deemed a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their intentions with respect to all matters referred to in this Item 4.

     (a) None of the Reporting Persons beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.
     (b) None of the Reporting Persons have any power to vote, direct the vote, dispose of, or direct the disposition of any shares of Common Stock.
     (c) On September 26, 2006, the settlement of the Options was completed by the Receiver, and the Partnership, the General Partner and the Receiver may no longer be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the 140,100 shares of Common Stock formerly covered thereby. See Item 6 for a description of the Options, the Settlement Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement, the Issuer Purchase Agreement and the Investor Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement, the Issuer Purchase Agreement and the Investor Purchase Agreement, the Wood River Entities as of December 24, 2007 have disposed of, in the aggregate, 4,102,247 shares of Common Stock.

     (d) As of May 17, 2007, the Receiver, on behalf of the Wood River Entities, entered into the Settlement Agreement with the Company. See Item 6.
          See the Reporting Persons’ response to Item 4.
          Arthur Steinberg, Esq. was appointed the Receiver for the Wood River Entities pursuant to the Order on October 13, 2005.
     (e) On December 24, 2007, the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement, the Issuer Purchase Agreement, and the Investor Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of any class of securities of the Issuer.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
          The General Partner is the general partner of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership’s agreement of limited partnership. The Adviser is the manager of the Offshore Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. The agreement of limited partnership gives the General Partner the authority, among other things, to invest the funds of the Partnership in the Common Stock, to vote and dispose of Common Stock and to file this Schedule on behalf of the Partnership. The investment advisory agreement gives the Adviser the authority, among other things, to invest the funds of the Offshore Fund in the Common Stock, to vote and dispose of Common Stock and to file this Schedule 13D on behalf of the Offshore Fund. Pursuant to the Partnership’s agreement of limited partnership and the Adviser’s investment advisory agreement with the Offshore Fund, the General Partner and the Adviser are entitled to allocations based on assets under management and realized and unrealized gains from the Partnership and the Offshore Fund, respectively.
          The General Partner and the Adviser are filing this Schedule 13D jointly with the other Reporting Persons, but not as a member of a group, within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act, except as hereinafter described, but each expressly disclaims membership in a group with any other person, other than (x) in the case of the General Partner, with the Partnership, and (y) in the case of the Adviser, the Offshore Fund. Each of the Receiver, the Partnership and the Offshore Fund is filing this Schedule 13D jointly with the other Reporting Persons, but not as a member of a group, and each expressly disclaims membership in a group (except as described above). In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13D on behalf of the Partnership or the Offshore Fund should not be construed as an admission that either of them is, and each of them disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of any of the securities covered by this Schedule 13D.
          For a description of the Order see Item 4. The Order was attached as an Exhibit to the Original Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by this reference.
          On January 20, 2004, the Partnership entered into a Special Expiration Price Options Master Agreement (the “Options”) with CDC Securities, as agent for CDC Derivatives, Inc. (collectively, “CDCS”). The Options had a stated expiration date of October 11, 2006. Pursuant to the Options, the Partnership had the right to exercise one or more special expiration price options on the terms and conditions set forth therein. The Options provided the Partnership with the right to acquire various securities, including 140,100 shares of Common Stock. These 140,100 shares of Common Stock were included within the number and percentage of the shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Partnership, the General Partner and the Receiver in the Original Schedule 13D and the First Amendment. On September 26, 2006, the Receiver completed the settlement of the Options in a transaction with CDCS. As a consequence, the Partnership, the General Partner and the Receiver may no longer be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 140,100 shares of Common Stock formerly covered by the Options and such shares are no longer included within the number and percentage of shares of Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Partnership, the General Partner or the Receiver. See Item 7. The Options were attached as an Exhibit to the Second Amendment and are incorporated herein by this reference.
          On May 17, 2007, the Receiver and the Issuer entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) in settlement of all claims by the Issuer against the Wood River Entities, including the

Table of Contents

claims asserted by the Issuer against the Wood River Entities pursuant to a claims procedure ordered by the Court in the Action. The Settlement Agreement was subject to approval of the Court and was approved by the Court on May 22, 2007.
          Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, upon the earliest of (i) the sale by the Wood River Entities of a number of shares of Common Stock such that after giving effect to the sale they hold in the aggregate less than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) the consummation of an underwritten offering or registered direct offering commenced pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Receiver elects to sell a number of shares of Common Stock such that after the closing of the offering the Wood River Entities continue to own in the aggregate more than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iii) promptly after the Receiver’s termination of an underwritten offering or registered direct offering commenced pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Receiver will be required to pay the Issuer $425,000 for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuer arising out of the Wood River Entities’ accumulation of the Issuer’s Common Stock. This amount is payable in cash or, if mutually agreed by the Receiver and the Issuer, in Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock. However, in the event the Receiver terminates an underwritten or registered direct offering commenced pursuant to the registration rights agreement prior to the time that the Wood River Entities hold in the aggregate less than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Wood River Entities may pay $425,000 in cash or, at the Receiver’s discretion, by delivering to the Issuer a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing $425,000 by the average closing price of Common Stock for the twenty trading days prior to such termination. The Settlement Agreement also includes mutual releases by both the Issuer and the Receiver that will become effective on the date the Wood River Entities have sold a number of shares of Common Stock such that after giving effect to the sale they hold in the aggregate less than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock or, if the Issuer commences an underwritten offering or registered direct offering pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement but the Receiver elects either (i) to sell a number of shares of Common Stock in that offering such that after the closing of the offering the Wood River Entities continue to own in the aggregate more than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock or (ii) to terminate the offering, the date of the closing or termination of the offering.
          In connection with the Settlement Agreement, the Receiver, on behalf of the Wood River Entities, and the Issuer also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer filed the Registration Statement with the Commission on June 26, 2007, and which was declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act on July 27, 2007, and agreed to cooperate, at the Receiver’s request, with the Receiver in an underwritten or registered direct offering of the shares of Common Stock held by the Wood River Entities. The registration rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement terminate upon the earlier of one year after the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (subject to extension under certain circumstances) or the earliest date when the Wood River Entities hold in the aggregate less than 10% of the then-outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Wood River Entities will pay all discounts and commissions or placement agent fees in connection with an offering pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement further provides that the Wood River Entities will pay all other expenses incident to the Issuer’s performance of the Registration Rights Agreement, including so-called “road show” expenses, subject to a cap of $750,000 of expenses related to an underwritten offering or $550,000 of expenses related to a registered direct offering, in either case such expenses to be payable in cash or, if mutually agreed by the Receiver and the Issuer, in Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock. In the event the Receiver were to withdraw an offering pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement prior to the time that the Wood River Entities held in the aggregate less than 10% of the then-outstanding Common Stock, the Wood River Entities will pay within ten days the Issuer’s accrued expenses pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (subject to the applicable cap), in cash or, in the Receiver’s discretion, by a number of shares of Common Stock determined by reference to the average closing price of the Common Stock for the twenty days prior to such withdrawal. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Issuer will (i) prepare the draft Registration Statement on Form S-3 and the draft prospectus relating to the proposed resale of Common Stock included in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), (ii) make the draft Registration Statement and draft Prospectus available to the Receiver and to underwriters or placement agents and their respective legal counsel, (iii) incorporate into the Registration Statement and Prospectus the comments reasonably proposed by the Receiver, underwriters or placement agents and their respective counsel, (iv) file the Registration Statement with the Commission, (v) cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective, (vi) once the Receiver requests an underwritten or registered direct offering, file the Prospectus with the Commission, (vii) file supplements to the

Registration Statement or the Prospectus that are necessary to cause such Registration Statement or Prospectus not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (viii) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent a suspension order or to cause such suspension order to be withdrawn. The Issuer and the Receiver each agreed to engage national investment banks and to cooperate with each other and such investment banks in effecting either an underwritten offering or a registered direct offering, at the Receiver’s election, of the Common Stock held by the Wood River Entities. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Receiver will use his reasonable best efforts to take all reasonable actions, upon the Receiver’s election to undertake an underwritten offering or registered direct offering, to effectuate an underwritten or registered direct offering that is requested by the Issuer and any underwriters or placement agents engaged for such an offering. The Registration Rights Agreement further provides that the Receiver will furnish to the Issuer information regarding himself, the Wood River Entities and the Common Stock as is reasonably required to make and keep effective the Registration Statement. The Registration Rights Agreement and the Settlement Agreement were attached as Exhibits to the Third Amendment and are incorporated herein by this reference.
          The Receiver and the Issuer have entered into an Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2007 (the “Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement”), amending and restating the terms of the Settlement Agreement (which is filed as an Exhibit to the Fourth Amendment and is hereby incorporated herein by this reference). The Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement was subject to approval of the Court, which approval was received on December 20, 2007. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement, (i) the Receiver and the Issuer executed the Issuer Purchase Agreement (as described and defined below) and (ii) the Receiver reimbursed the Issuer $300,000 in respect of expenses incident to the Issuer’s performance of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement and the Issuer Purchase Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement (i) the Receiver, on behalf of the Wood River Entities, released all claims by the Wood River Entities against the Issuer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees and (ii) the Issuer released all claims by the Issuer against the Receiver, his affiliates and representatives and the Wood River Entities; each such release became effective as of December 24, 2007.
          In connection with the Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement, the Partnership, the Offshore Fund and the Issuer, and for limited purposes, the Receiver, also entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Issuer Purchase Agreement,” which is filed as an exhibit to the Fourth Amendment and is incorporated herein by this reference), pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer purchased an aggregate of 2,502,247 shares of Common Stock from the Partnership and the Offshore Fund for a purchase price of $6.83 per share. The Issuer Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto and was subject to the approval of the Court (which was received on December 20, 2007), the consummation of the sale of the remaining shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Investor Purchase Agreement (as described and defined below) and other customary closing conditions. The Issuer Purchase Agreement also amended the Registration Rights Agreement to permit the sales of Common Stock contemplated by the Issuer Purchase Agreement and the Investor Purchase Agreement and, effective upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Issuer Purchase Agreement and the Investor Purchase Agreement, terminated the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
          On December 21, 2007, Potomac Capital Partners LP, Potomac Capital International Ltd, Pleiades Investment Partners-R LP, EagleRock Institutional Partners, LP, EagleRock Master Fund, LP, Caiman Partners LP, and Slater Equity Partners LP (collectively, the “Investors”) and the Offshore Fund entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Investor Purchase Agreement,” which is filed as an exhibit to the Fourth Amendment and is incorporated herein by this reference), pursuant to which, among other things, the Investors purchased 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock from the Offshore Fund for a purchase price of $6.83 per share, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (which conditions were all satisfied). The Investor Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto, was subject to the approval of the Court, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Issuer Purchase Agreement and customary closing conditions (which conditions were all satisfied on December 24, 2007).

EXECUTION COPY
Amended and Restated
Settlement Agreement by and between
Arthur Steinberg, as Court-Appointed Receiver
for the Wood River Entities, and Endwave Corporation
          This Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of December 20, 2007, and is by and between (a) Arthur Steinberg, as court-appointed receiver (the “Receiver”) for Wood River Partners, L.P. (“Wood River Domestic”), Wood River Partners Offshore, Ltd. (“Wood River Offshore” and, together with Wood River Domestic, the “Wood River Funds”), Wood River Capital Management, L.L.C. (“Wood River Capital”), and Wood River Associates, L.L.C. (collectively, including the Wood River Funds and Wood River Capital, the “Wood River Entities”) and (b) Endwave Corporation (“Endwave”). This Agreement, subject to Sections 1(b) and 2(a), amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety that certain Settlement Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2007, by and between the Receiver and Endwave (the “Original Agreement”).
          WHEREAS, on October 13, 2005, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) commenced an action (the “SEC Action”) against the Wood River Entities and John Hunting Whittier (“Whittier”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”);
          WHEREAS, in the SEC Action, the Commission alleged that Whittier and the Wood River Entities violated Sections 10(b), 13(d) and
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and certain rules promulgated thereunder and Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, by, among other things, acquiring beneficial ownership of a large percentage of the outstanding common stock of

 


 

Endwave without disclosing such beneficial ownership through required filings with the Commission, and by making misrepresentations and omissions of material facts concerning the Wood River Funds;
          WHEREAS, also on October 13, 2005, the Commission filed an Application for Entry of an Order Granting a Preliminary Injunction, Freezing Assets, and Appointing a Receiver (the “Preliminary Injunction Application”) seeking, among other things, the appointment of a receiver;
          WHEREAS, the Commission and Whittier, on consent of his counsel, agreed to, and the Court subsequently entered, a Stipulation And Order Granting Preliminary Injunction, Freezing Assets And Appointing Receiver (the “Preliminary Injunction Order”) granting the relief requested in the Preliminary Injunction Application and providing for the immediate appointment of the Receiver;
          WHEREAS, beginning in at least 2004 and during the first nine months of 2005, at the direction of Whittier, the Wood River Funds purchased substantial quantities of Endwave common stock and continued to own a large number of such shares at the time of the commencement of the SEC Action;
          WHEREAS, the 4,102,247 shares of Endwave common stock beneficially owned by the Wood River Funds (the “Endwave Shares”) constitute the largest asset of the Wood River Entities in receivership;
          WHEREAS, on or about January 6, 2006, upon the application of the Receiver, the Court entered an order fixing February 28, 2006 as the last date for creditors and equity security holders to file proofs of claim and/or equity interest against any of the Wood River Entities (the “Bar Date”);

2


 

          WHEREAS, prior to the Bar Date, on or about February 6, 2006, Endwave filed a proof of claim against each of the Wood River Entities in an unliquidated amount (the “Endwave Filed Claim”). By so doing, Endwave asserted a claim for disgorgement of presumed profits realized by any of the Wood River Entities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (the “Section 16(b) Claim”) and for other damages to which Endwave asserted it may be entitled as a result of Whittier’s and the Wood River Entities’ accumulation of Endwave common stock allegedly in violation of the securities laws;
          WHEREAS, after an exchange of documents and information, and after extensive good faith negotiations between the Receiver on behalf of the Wood River Entities and Endwave (each a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”), on May 17, 2007, the Parties agreed to resolve any and all claims the Parties have or may have against each other, including, without limitation, the Endwave Filed Claim, and to provide a mechanism for the ultimate disposition of the Endwave Shares, in accordance with the terms of the Original Agreement;
          WHEREAS, in order to facilitate a disposition of the Endwave Shares in a mutually-agreed manner that was not contemplated by the Original Agreement, the Parties desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement as set forth in this Agreement.
          NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
          1. (a) The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is subject to approval of the Court. The Receiver shall apply to the Court for an order authorizing and approving this Agreement in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit “A,” or in such other form as the Parties hereto may mutually agree (the “Approval Order”).

The Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement are incorporated as if set forth in this Agreement in their entirety. If the Stock Purchase Agreement is terminated prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, this Agreement shall become null and void as of the date of such termination and the Parties shall be restored to the status quo ante (and the Original Agreement and the related Registration Rights Agreement shall be automatically reinstated in their entirety, remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected hereby).

          7. Endwave and the Receiver each understand that this Agreement includes a release of all unknown and unsuspected claims and acknowledge that it or he has read and understands Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
Endwave and the Receiver hereby waive, effective at the time of the Closing, on their own behalf and, in the case of the Receiver, on behalf of the Wood River Entities, all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any other similar law with regard to this Agreement, including the release of unknown and unsuspected claims contained herein.
          8. To more fully effectuate the release contained in paragraph 6 above, within three business days of its receipt of the Offering or Placement Expenses, Endwave shall withdraw with prejudice the Endwave Filed Claim.

          9. The Parties hereto represent and warrant that they are fully authorized to enter into and perform under this Agreement, on behalf of themselves (and, in the case of the Receiver, the Wood River Entities), without any further or other consent or authorization from any person or entity, except with respect to the Receiver, whose authority to perform this Agreement is subject to execution by the Court of the Approval Order.
          10. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except in writing by the Party against whom such modification, amendment or waiver is sought to be enforced.
          11. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law rules thereof.

          12. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
          13. This Agreement (together with the related Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement) constitutes the sole and entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (and such related Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement) and, subject to Sections 1(b) and 2(a), supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect hereto. Subject to Sections 1(b) and 2(a), all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of every kind and nature among the Parties with respect thereto are merged into and superseded by this Agreement.

8


 

          14. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
          15. It is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties hereto that (i) this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Receiver, not individually or personally but solely in his capacity as Receiver for the Wood River Entities, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in him under the Preliminary Injunction Order; (ii) each of the representations, undertakings, and agreements made herein on the part of the Receiver is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by the Receiver but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Receiver in his capacity as Receiver for the Wood River Entities; and (iii) under no circumstances shall the Receiver be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Wood River Entities or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty, or covenant made or undertaken by the Wood River Entities under this Agreement.

          4.5 Disclosure of Information. The Receiver has received all the information he, with the advice of his financial advisors, considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether the Wood River Entities should sell the Shares to the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Receiver has read the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission since January 1, 2007 and the Company’s proxy statement for its 2007 annual meeting of stockholders.

          4.7 Tax Consequences. The Receiver has had an opportunity to review the federal, state and local tax consequences of the sale of the Shares to the Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with his own tax advisors. The Receiver is relying solely on such advisors for tax advice and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its respective Related Parties.

Each Buyer expressly acknowledges that there are no implied representations or warranties made by the Receiver or Seller in connection with the Contemplated Transactions and that the only representations made by Seller or the Receiver relating to the Contemplated Transactions are set forth in Article III of this Agreement. Each Buyer is familiar with Endwave and acknowledges that it has had an opportunity (i) to obtain and has received from sources other than the Receiver, Seller or their respective Affiliates or Representatives all information and material which such Buyer regards as necessary or material for its decision to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and (ii) to ask questions of sources other than the Receiver, Seller or their respective Affiliates and has received from such sources satisfactory answers to all of its questions, in each case, sufficient to evaluate and make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchasing of the Shares in connection with the Contemplated Transaction. Each Buyer agrees that none of the Receiver, Seller, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have any responsibility to any Buyer for the completeness of the information obtained by any Buyer from any source with respect to the Shares or Endwave. Each Buyer has relied solely on its own knowledge and investigation about the Shares and Endwave in making its investment decision to acquire the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, that each Buyer has independently and without any reliance upon the Receiver or Seller or their Affiliates or Representatives and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate (x) made its own independent appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Endwave and (y) made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to engage in the Contemplated Transactions. None of the Receiver, Seller or their respective Affiliates shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Buyer with any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Endwave that is in or may come into the possession of the Receiver, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives. Each Buyer expressly agrees that none of the Receiver, Seller, any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have any liability to any Buyer in respect of the Shares or arising in connection with or relating to Endwave, including, without limitation, arising in connection with or relating to any disclosure in, misstatement in or omission from any document filed by Endwave with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including, without limitation, the Registration Statement, any amendment to the Registration Statement or any

document incorporated into the Registration Statement) and each Buyer irrevocably agrees not to assert or commence any Proceeding against the Receiver, Seller, any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives with respect to any claim arising under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any state securities or “blue sky” laws relating to the sale of the Shares or Endwave. Each Buyer acknowledges that the Receiver and Seller will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the statements contained herein in connection with entering into this Agreement and engaging in the Contemplated Transactions. Each Buyer hereby consents to such reliance and agrees that such reliance and consent shall survive the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions. Each Buyer agrees and understands that on and after the Closing Date, all risks with respect to the Shares are to be borne by Buyers and that each Buyer is acquiring the Shares “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” so in no event will the Receiver, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives be liable for any damages whatsoever or howsoever arising in respect of Endwave or the Shares.
     Section 4.10 Affiliates. As of the time of the Closing, no Buyer has or intends to obtain “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any shares of Endwave capital stock held of record or beneficially owned by the other Buyers (other than Shares purchased by investment funds that are Affiliated with such Buyer and under common management with such Buyer).

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter, whether oral or written, and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the exhibits hereto) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its and their subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto.
     Section 10.8 Enforcement of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached.

     Section 10.9 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights.
