2002 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE
AND
STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose of Plan .
This
Plan shall be known as the “XATA 2002 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AND
STOCK OPTION PLAN” and is hereinafter referred to as the
“Plan”. The purpose of the Plan is to aid in
maintaining and developing personnel capable of assuring the future
success of XATA Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the
“Company”), to offer such personnel additional
incentives to put forth maximum efforts for the success of the
business, and to afford them an opportunity to acquire a
proprietary interest in the Company through stock options and other
long-term incentive awards as provided herein. Options granted
under this Plan may be either incentive stock options
(“Incentive Stock Options”) within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
“Code”), or options which do not qualify as Incentive
Stock Options. Awards granted under this Plan shall be stock
appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock or
performance awards as hereinafter described.
2. Stock Subject to Plan .
Subject
to the provisions of Section 14 hereof, the stock to be
subject to options or other awards under the Plan shall be the
Company’s authorized Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the “Common Shares”). Such shares may be either
authorized but unissued shares, or issued shares which have been
reacquired by the Company. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 14 hereof, the maximum number of shares on which
options may be exercised or other award issued under this Plan
shall be 1,250,000 shares. If an option or award under the Plan
expires, or for any reason is terminated or unexercised with
respect to any shares, such shares shall again be available for
options or awards thereafter granted during the term of the
Plan.
3. Administration of Plan .
(a) Except as provided in
Section 3(d) hereof, the Plan shall be administered by the Board of
Directors of the Company or a committee thereof. The members of any
such committee shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of
the Board of Directors. If no committee is appointed by the Board,
the committee shall be comprised of all of the members of the Board
of Directors. (The group administering the Plan shall hereinafter
be referred to as the “Committee”.)
(b) The Committee shall have
plenary authority in its discretion, but subject to the express
provisions of the Plan: (i) to determine the purchase price of
the Common Stock covered by each option or award, (ii) to
determine the employees to whom and the time or times at which such
options and awards shall be granted and the number of shares to be
subject to each, (iii) to determine the form of payment to be
made upon the exercise of an SAR or in connection with performance
awards, either cash, Common Shares of the Company or a combination
thereof, (iv) to determine the terms of exercise of each
option and award, (v) to accelerate the time at which all or
any part of an option or award may be exercised, (vi) to amend
or modify the terms of any option or award with the consent of the
optionee, (vii) to interpret the Plan, (viii) to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the
Plan, (ix) to determine the terms and provisions of each
option and award agreement under the Plan (which agreements need
not be identical), including the designation of those options
intended to be Incentive Stock Options, and (x) to make all
other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration
of the Plan, subject to the exclusive authority of the Board of
Directors under Section 15 herein to amend or
terminate the Plan. The Committee’s determinations on the
foregoing matters, unless otherwise disapproved by the Board of
Directors of the Company, shall be final and conclusive.
(c) The Committee may select one
of its members as its Chairman and shall holds its meetings at such
times and places as it may determine. A majority of its members
shall constitute a quorum. All determinations of the Committee
shall be made by not less than a majority of its members. Any
decision or determination reduces to writing and signed by all of
the members of the Committee shall be fully effective as if it had
been made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and held. The
grant of an option or award shall be effective only if a written
agreement shall have been duly executed and delivered by and on
behalf of the Company following such grant. The Committee may
appoint a Secretary and may make such rules and regulations for the
conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable.
(d) Section 19 of the Plan
shall be administered by the President and the Chief Financial
Officer, whose construction and interpretation of the terms and
provisions of such Sections shall be final and conclusive; provided
that the numbers of Common Shares subject to options granted to
Non-Employee Directors (defined below) under Section 19, the
timing of the grants of such options (except as provided in
Section 19), the eligibility for such options, and the terms
and conditions of such options, shall be automatic and
non-discretionary in accordance with the terms of such
Section.
4. Eligibility .
Incentive Stock options may only be
granted under this Plan to any full or part-time employee (which
term as used herein includes, but is not limited to, officers and
directors who are also employees) of the Company and of its present
and future subsidiary corporations (herein called
“subsidiaries”). Full or part-time employees,
non-employee members of the Board of Directors, and non-employee
consultants, agents or independent contractors to the Company or
one of its subsidiaries shall be eligible to receive options which
do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options and awards. For purposes
of Section 19 hereof, “Non-Employee Director,”
means any member of the Board of Directors who is not at the time
of option grant an employee of the Company. Non-Employee Directors
shall be eligible for discretionary grants and awards under the
Plan in addition to automatic option grants under Section 19.
In determining the persons to whom options and awards shall be
granted and the number of shares subject to each, the Committee may
take into account the nature of services rendered by the respective
employees or consultants, their present and potential contributions
to the success of the Company and such other factors as the
Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant. A person who has
been granted an option or award under this Plan may be granted
additional options or awards under the Plan if the Committee shall
so determine; provided, however, that for Incentive Stock Options,
to the extent the aggregate fair market value (determined at the
time the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Common Shares
with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options are exercisable
for the first time by an employee during any calendar year (under
all plans described in subsection (d) of Section 422 of
the Code of his employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary
corporations) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as
options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Nothing in
the Plan or in any agreement thereunder shall confer on any
employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or affect, in any way, the right of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment at
the time.
5. Price .
The option price for all Incentive
Stock Options, for options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock
Options, and if applicable, the price for all awards granted under
the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be
less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares at the
date
2
of grant
of such option or award. For purposes of the preceding sentence and
for all other valuation purposes under the Plan, the fair market
value of the Common Shares shall be as reasonably determined by the
Committee. If on the date of grant of any option or award hereunder
the Common Shares are not traded on an established securities
market, the Committee shall make a good faith attempt to satisfy
the requirements of this Section 5 and in connection therewith
shall take such action as it deems necessary or advisable.
6. Term .
Each option and award and all rights
and obligations thereunder shall expire on the date determined by
the Committee and specified in the option or award agreement. The
Committee shall be under no duty to provide terms of like duration
for options or awards granted under the Plan, but the term of an
Incentive Stock Option may not extend more than ten (10) years
from the date of grant of such option and the term of options
granted under the Plan which do not qualify as Incentive Stock
Options may not extend more than fifteen (15) years from the
date of granting of such option.
7. Exercise of Option or Award .
(a) The Committee shall have
full and complete authority to determine whether an option or award
will be exercisable in full at any time or from time to time during
the term thereof, or to provide for the exercise thereof in such
installments, upon the occurrence of such events (such as
termination of employment for any reason) and at such times during
the term of the option as the Committee may determine and specify
in the option or award agreement.
(b) The exercise of any option
or award granted hereunder shall only be effective at such time
that the sale of Common Shares pursuant to such exercise will not
violate any state or federal securities or other laws.
(c) An optionee or grantee
electing to exercise an option or award shall give written notice
to the Company of such election and of the number of shares subject
to such exercise. The full purchase price of such shares shall be
tendered with such notice of exercise. Payment shall be made to the
Company in cash (including bank check, certified check, personal
check, or money order), or, at the discretion of the Committee and
as specified by the Committee, (i) by
