Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

The legality of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby has been passed upon for the Company by the firm of Barber & Bartz, a Professional Corporation, which serves as general counsel to the Company. Ron B. Barber, senior shareholder of the firm, is a director of the Company and beneficially owns approximately 1.10% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Oklahoma General Corporation Act, as amended (the “OGCA”), and the Company’s bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”) each contain provisions for indemnification of officers and directors of the Company against liability incurred by them under certain circumstances in their capacities as officers and directors of the Company.

The OGCA and the Bylaws provide for indemnification of its officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any threatened, pending, or completed legal proceeding in which the officer or director is a party or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, if he acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. However, if the legal proceeding is by or in the right of the Company, the director or officer may not be indemnified in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which he is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless a court determines otherwise. The foregoing right to indemnity is not exclusive of any other right to indemnity to which a director or officer may be entitled under any other agreement or by vote of the Company’s shareholders, directors, or otherwise.

The XETA Technologies, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan also provides for indemnification of the members of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors charged with administering the Plan. In addition, the Company maintains insurance to indemnify its officers and directors from certain liabilities.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any additional material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes (i) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (ii) to file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
