                              STOCK PURCHASE OPTION

         This Stock Purchase Option is granted on this 1st day of February,
2000, by XETA Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation, doing business as XETA
Technologies ("XETA"), to Larry N. Patterson ("Patterson") in conjunction with
and pursuant to the terms of his employment by XETA.

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS, XETA has hired Patterson as XETA's Senior Vice President,
Operations and Patterson has accepted such employment on this date and will take
office on March 1, 2000; and

         WHEREAS, as an inducement to Patterson to accept such employment and as
part of the compensation to be paid to him as Senior Vice President, Operations
of the Company, XETA agreed to grant Patterson options to purchase 20,000 shares
of XETA's common stock, par value $.05 per share;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, XETA hereby grants the following Stock Purchase Option to
Patterson:

1. Option to Purchase. XETA hereby grants to Patterson the option to purchase
20,000 shares of common stock, par value $.05 per share, of XETA (the
"Options"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The shares to
be issued from time to time upon exercise of the Options shall be unregistered
and "restricted" as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the rules to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless XETA elects to register such shares
under said Act, which XETA is not obligated to do. Further, the Options are not
qualified as incentive stock options within the means of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, therefore are nonqualified options
under the Code.

2. Vesting of Options. The Options shall vest in Patterson in three installments
on the first three anniversary dates of the start of Patterson's employment with
XETA, as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                              Vested      No. of Shares
                          -------------   -------------
<S>                       <C>             <C>
                          March 1, 2001 - 6,667 shares
                          March 1, 2002 - 6,667 shares
                          March 1, 2003 - 6,666 shares
</TABLE>

Any unvested Options shall terminate and become void in the event of termination
of Patterson's employment with XETA for any reason (including death).

3. Exercise of Options. The Options shall be exercisable from time to time in
whole or in part for a period of ten (10) years from and after the date of
vesting (the "Option Period"). The

<PAGE>   2

Options shall be exercisable by Patterson only and shall not be assignable or
transferable except as provided in Section 5 below. Subject to the conditions
and limitations set forth herein, the Options shall be exercisable by delivering
to XETA on any business day prior to expiration of the Option Period (i) a
written notice specifying the number of shares Patterson desires to purchase,
and (ii) cash or certified funds in payment of the exercise price. Such items
shall be sent to XETA at its corporate headquarters, addressed to the attention
of Chief Financial Officer.

4. Purchase Price. The exercise price of the Options shall be $31.0625 per
share, representing the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of
grant.

5. Death of Patterson. In the event of the death of Patterson, any Options not
vested prior to death shall be forfeited and become void; and any Options that
were vested prior to death may be exercised by the estate of Patterson or by a
person who acquires the right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance
from Patterson, subject to the same conditions upon exercise to which Patterson
was subject.

6. Termination of Employment. In the event of the termination of Patterson's
employment for any reason, any options not vested prior to such termination
shall be forfeited and become void.

7. Adjustment. In the event the outstanding shares of common capital stock of
XETA as a whole are increased, decreased, changed into, or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or securities of XETA, whether through stock
dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, merger, or the like, an approximate
and proportionate adjustment shall be made in the number, kind and per share
exercise price of shares subject to any unexercised portion of the Options. Any
such adjustment shall be made without a change in the total price applicable to
the unexercised portion of the Options, but with a corresponding adjustment in
the price for each share covered by the Options.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Stock Purchase
Option to be executed on the day and year first above written.

                                            XETA Corporation

     replaced by the words "three years."

3.   Renewal. Section 15.1 of the Dealer Agreement is deleted in its entirety
     and replaced with the following:

      15.1   Unless a party gives written notice of its intent not to renew to
         the other parties ninety (90) days in advance of the termination date,
         this Agreement will automatically renew for an additional two-year
         term. Any party may terminate this Agreement without cause on ninety-
         (90) days notice only after the initial three year Term; provided,
         however, that Dealer may terminate Distributor at any time during the
         term hereof, upon sixty (60) days written notice, if Dealer determines
         that Distributor's pricing is no longer competitive or its service is
         unsatisfactory, and Distributor does not remedy any such condition to
         Dealer's satisfaction within such sixty (60) day timeframe.

4.   Termination. Section 15.4 of the Dealer Agreement is deleted in its
     entirety and replaced with the following:

               15.4 A). Lucent or Distributor may terminate this Agreement upon

     ADA3-960109) involving U.S. Technologies Systems, Inc. Xeta has acquired
     U.S. Technologies Systems Inc, and the parties agree that this Dealer
     Agreement with Xeta completely supersedes the U.S. Technologies agreements.

6.   Diamond Dealer.   *

     a)   The following new Diamond Dealer provisions shall be added to Section
          2 (Dealer Responsibilities):

                  2.9 Except as provided in subsections 2.10 and 2.11, Dealer
              shall not, during the term of this Agreement, market or sell any
              non-Lucent products which are of the same type or category as the
              control unit for any Lucent Key Telephone System, PBX product, or
              hybrid Key/PBX product (e.g. Merlin Legend Systems), or the same
              type or category as any packet switched voice system or voice/data
              convergence Product listed in a Product Appendix. Except as
              limited in this Agreement and in any other Dealer Agreements
              Dealer may have with BCS or another business unit of Lucent,
              Dealer may market any other non Lucent products to Dealers or End
              Users.

                  2.10 Dealer may continue to market and sell to an End-User
              non-Lucent product components for end user products which are the
              same type or category as the products listed in Section 2.9,
              above, provided that i) Dealer has, prior to the effective date of
              Xeta's first Dealer Agreement or (or Diamond Dealer Amendment)
              with Lucent, supplied a non-Lucent product system to such End User
              and ii) the additional non-Lucent products sold after such
              effective date do no more than bring the non-Lucent product system
              to its original design capacity or full accessory complement. If
              such End User desires to upgrade or expand its non Lucent product
              system beyond that authorized herein, Dealer shall sell only an
              appropriate Lucent Managed Product to such End User. Dealer may
              continue to market and sell non-Lucent packet switched voice
              systems or non- Lucent voice/data convergence products for such
              transition period as may be defined by Lucent.
