<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;302A.521, Minnesota Statutes, the Company is required to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents against liability under certain circumstances, including
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;). Section&nbsp;4.7 of the Company&#146;s
Articles of Incorporation and Article&nbsp;V of the Company&#146;s Bylaws contain substantially similar
provisions and, in addition, specifically authorize adoption of agreements for indemnification
greater than that required by statute and purchase of insurance to meet the Company&#146;s
indemnification obligation. The general effect of such provisions is to relieve the directors and
officers of the Company from personal liability which may be imposed for certain acts performed in
their capacity as directors or officers of the Company, except where such persons have not acted in
good faith.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with Trident Capital, Inc. (the
controlling entity of the holders of our Series&nbsp;B Convertible Preferred Stock) and the persons
designated as directors of the Company by Trident Capital which is intended to hold them harmless
from liability they may incur as a &#147;controlling person,&#148; in the case of Trident Capital, and as
directors, with respect to the individual appointees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted under Minnesota Statutes, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide
that directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or to its shareholders for monetary
damages arising from breach of the director&#146;s duty of care in the affairs of the Company.
Minnesota Statutes do not permit elimination of liability for breach of a director&#146;s duty of
loyalty to the Company or with respect to certain enumerated matters, including payment of illegal dividends, acts not in good faith, and acts resulting, in an improper personal
benefit to the director.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents filed with the Commission by XATA Corporation (the "Company") are
incorporated herein by reference:
(a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2006.
(b) The Company's Definitive Proxy Statement dated January 5, 2007 for the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders held on February 7, 2007.
(c) The Company's quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q for the three months ended
December 31, 2006.
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and
15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that
all securities offered hereby have been sold or which reregisters all securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a
part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Common Stock
The Company is currently authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01
per share. As of February 14, 2007, 7,885,334 shares were issued and outstanding, all of which are
fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of the shares are entitled to one vote for each share held.
There are no preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights pertaining to the shares.
Holders of the shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of
Directors out of assets legally available therefor and to share ratably in the assets of the
Company available upon liquidation. The holders of the shares do not have the right to cumulate
their votes in the election of directors, and, accordingly, the holders of 50% of the voting shares
are able to elect all of the directors (except for directors elected by the holders of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class).
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of February 13,
2007, there are issued and outstanding 1,814,827 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and
1,269,036 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors may, without
further action by the shareholders, from time to time, issue additional preferred stock in one or
more series and determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting
rights, dividend rights, dividend rate, liquidation preference, conversion or exchange rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions, and the number of shares constituting
and the designation of any such series. The
2
Table of Contents
issuance
of preferred stock may, in some circumstances, deter or discourage takeover attempts and other changes in control of the Company,
including takeovers and changes in control which some holders of the common stock may deem to be in
their best interests and in the best interests of the Company, by making it more difficult for a
person who has gained a substantial equity interest in the Company to obtain voting control or to
exercise control effectively.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The financial statements incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference from the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB have been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, independent
registered public accountants, as stated in their report, which is incorporated herein by
reference, and have been so incorporated in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of
such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
The validity of the securities offered pursuant to this Registration Statement will be passed
upon by Messerli & Kramer, counsel to the Issuer.
There are no other "experts" referenced in this Registration Statement. Neither Messerli &
Kramer nor Grant Thornton LLP has any interest which is required to be disclosed herein.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under Section 302A.521, Minnesota Statutes, the Company is required to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents against liability under certain circumstances, including
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Section 4.7 of the Company's
Articles of Incorporation and Article V of the Company's Bylaws contain substantially similar
provisions and, in addition, specifically authorize adoption of agreements for indemnification
greater than that required by statute and purchase of insurance to meet the Company's
indemnification obligation. The general effect of such provisions is to relieve the directors and
officers of the Company from personal liability which may be imposed for certain acts performed in
their capacity as directors or officers of the Company, except where such persons have not acted in
good faith.
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with Trident Capital, Inc. (the
controlling entity of the holders of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) and the persons
designated as directors of the Company by Trident Capital which is intended to hold them harmless
from liability they may incur as a "controlling person," in the case of Trident Capital, and as
directors, with respect to the individual appointees.
As permitted under Minnesota Statutes, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide
that directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or to its shareholders for monetary
damages arising from breach of the director's duty of care in the affairs of the Company.
Minnesota Statutes do not permit elimination of liability for breach of a director's duty of
loyalty to the Company or with respect to certain enumerated matters, including payment of illegal dividends, acts not in good faith, and acts resulting, in an improper personal
benefit to the director.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a)
Rule 415 Offering
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" Table in the effective
registration statement;
4
Table of Contents
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in the post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Request for Acceleration of Effective Date or Filing of Registration Statement on
Form S-8
.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
