      THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into as of

July __, 2004 by and among Teledyne Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation

("TELEDYNE"), and the undersigned shareholder ("SHAREHOLDER") of Celeritek,

Inc., a California corporation (the "COMPANY").

 

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

 

      WHEREAS, Teledyne and the Company are entering into an Asset Purchase

Agreement (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), which provides for the Company's sale of

certain assets relating to its defense electronics division to Teledyne (the

"TRANSACTION"). The Company is seeking shareholder approval of the Transaction.

 

      WHEREAS, each Shareholder is the beneficial owner of such number of shares

of the Company as is indicated on such Shareholder's signature page to this

Agreement.

 

      WHEREAS, in consideration of the execution of the Purchase Agreement by

Teledyne, Shareholder (in his or her capacity as such) agrees to vote the Shares

and the New Shares (each as defined below) of the Company over which Shareholder

has voting power to approve of the Transaction as contemplated by the Purchase

Agreement.

 

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants

and agreements herein contained, intending to be legally bound, the parties

hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

      1.     Capitalized Terms.

 

            (a)    The following capitalized terms shall have the respective

meanings ascribed thereto below:

 

            "EXPIRATION DATE" shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) such date

      and time as the Purchase Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to

      Article 11 thereof or (ii) such date and time as the Transaction shall be

      consummated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Purchase

      Agreement.

 

            "NEW SHARES" shall mean any shares of the Company that Shareholder

      purchases or with respect to which Shareholder otherwise acquires

      beneficial ownership after the date of this Agreement and prior to the

      Expiration Date, including, without limitation, any shares issued or

      issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange, as the case may be, of

      any shares held by Shareholder which are convertible into, or exercisable

      or exchangeable for, capital stock of the Company. New Shares shall be

      subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent

      as if they constituted Shares.

 

            "PERSON" shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability

      company, partnership or other entity, or governmental authority.

            "SHARES" shall mean all capital stock of the Company (including all

      by Shareholder as of the date of this Agreement.

 

            "TRANSFER." A Person shall be deemed to have effected a "TRANSFER"

      agreement or commitment providing for the sale of, pledge of, encumbrance

      2.     Restrictions on Transfer of Shares.

 

            (a)    Transfer of Shares. During the period from the date of this

Agreement through the Expiration Date, Shareholder shall not cause or permit,

directly or indirectly, any Transfer of any of the Shares or New Shares to be

effected; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder may

transfer Shares to a third party if the transferee shall have agreed in writing

to hold such Shares and New Shares (or interest in such Shares or New Shares)

subject to, and agree to abide by, all of the terms and conditions of this

Agreement.

 

            (b)    Transfer of Voting Rights. During the period from the date of

this Agreement through the Expiration Date, Shareholder shall not (i) deposit

(or permit the deposit of) any Shares or New Shares in a voting trust or (ii)

grant any proxy or power of attorney or enter into any voting agreement or

similar agreement in contravention of the obligations of Shareholder under this

Agreement with respect to any of the Shares or New Shares.

 

      3.     Proxy. Shareholder hereby revokes all prior proxies or powers of

attorney with respect to any and all of Shareholder's Shares. Through the

Expiration Date, Shareholder hereby constitutes and appoints Teledyne, or any

nominee designated by Teledyne, with the full power of substitution at any time

during the term of this Agreement, as Shareholder's true and lawful attorney and

proxy ("PROXY"), for and in its name, place, and stead, in the Proxy's

discretion, to demand that the Secretary of the Company call a special meeting

of the shareholders of the Company for the purpose of considering any matter

referred to in Article 2 of the Purchase Agreement and to vote each Share held

by Shareholder, as Shareholder's Proxy in respect of any such matter, at every

annual, adjourned or postponed meeting of the shareholders or the Company,

including, without limitation, the right to sign its name as Shareholder (or to

direct the recordowner to sign its name as Shareholder) to any consent,

certificate, or other document relating to the Company that the state of

California might permit or require. THE FOREGOING PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY

ARE IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF THIS

AGREEMENT.
