Item 5.02                      Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment ofCertain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
 (e)           Effective January 10, 2011, Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a Sales Incentive Program for fiscal year 2011 (the “Plan”) for the benefit of Basem Anshasi, the Company's Vice President of Worldwide Sales.  No other executive officers of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan.
 
Pursuant to the Plan, Mr. Anshasi may earn a cash incentive payment that is payable based upon the Company's actual revenue as compared to a pre-established revenue quota for the fiscal year.  The revenue quota is established by the Chief Executive Officer based on management revenue forecasts.
 
At the end of each fiscal quarter during 2011, the Company's revenue will be compared to the revenue quota assigned to Mr. Anshasi through the end of the particular quarter, on a year-to-date basis.  Mr. Anshasi will be eligible to receive a cash incentive payment for each of the first three fiscal quarters to the extent the Company has revenue at least equal to 65% of the revenue quota assigned to Mr. Anshasi for the particular quarter, on a year-to-date basis.  If this threshold is achieved, he will receive 50% of his target cash incentive payment for the quarter in the form of a quarterly draw payable within several weeks of the end of the quarter.  The amount of the cash incentive payment payable to Mr. Anshasi for a particular quarter as a percentage of his target cash incentive payment for the quarter increases as the Company's revenue for the quarter increases.  However, the maximum draw payment for any particular quarter  is equal to 100% of the target cash incentive payment for that quarter.
 
At the end of fiscal year 2011, the Company’s annual revenue will be compared to Mr. Anshasi's annual revenue quota to determine the total annual cash incentive earned.  The achievement of annual Company revenue below 65% of the annual revenue quota will result in no cash incentive payment being paid with respect to the full fiscal year.   In addition, quarterly draw payments, if any, made with respect to the first three quarters will offset the total annual cash incentive earned.  To the extent that the total annual cash incentive earned exceeds the sum of the quarterly draws paid with respect to the first three quarters of the year, Mr. Anshasi will receive the difference as the cash incentive payment for the fourth quarter.  However, if the total annual cash incentive earned is less than the sum of the quarterly draws paid with respect to the first three quarters of the year, Mr. Anshasi will not be required to repay any portion of the quarterly draws to the Company.
 
The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.
