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

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
