5.   COMPENSATION

5.1  INTEL will reimburse @ROAD's costs of transferring the Manufacturing
     Package and @ROAD Software to INTEL under this Agreement up to a maximum of
     one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) US. Payment will be made via
     certified check or wire transfer within 45 calendar days following the
     close of Intel manufacturing quarter in which transfer of the Manufacturing
     Package and @ROAD Software occurs.

5.2  INTEL and @ROAD agree that INTEL will pay to @ROAD a royalty for each unit
     of Intel Product sold, distributed or otherwise transferred by INTEL in an
     amount not-to-exceed [*] US to be negotiated within forty-five (45)
     calendar days following the Effective Date. If the Parties are unable in
     good faith to negotiate a royalty amount, the royalty for each unit of
     INTEL Product sold, distributed, or otherwise transferred by INTEL will be
     the not-to-exceed amount set forth above.

5.3  INTEL will make payment of the royalty described in Section 5.2 within
     forty-five (45) calendar days following close of the INTEL manufacturing
     quarter in which the INTEL Product is sold, distributed, licensed, or
     otherwise transferred by INTEL.

5.4  For the avoidance of doubt, INTEL Products and Updates and Enhancements
     distributed, licensed or otherwise transferred by INTEL free of charge for
     promotional or design-in activities, including for use internal to INTEL,
     and alpha, beta, prototype, customer evaluation, and demonstration versions
     of INTEL Products and Updates and Enhancements, are exempt from any royalty
     fees.

5.5  INTEL will submit to @ROAD quarterly, within forth-five days following the
     close of each INTEL manufacturing quarter, a royalty report identifying the
     quantity of INTEL Products sold, distributed, or otherwise transferred by
     INTEL for revenue during the INTEL manufacturing quarter, together with a
     certified check or wire transfer representing royalties, if any, owed by
     INTEL in connection therewith.

5.6  All reports and royalty payments, whether prepaid or recurring, will be
     sent by INTEL to @ROAD as follows:

          Reports/Certified Check            Wire Transfer Instructions

          @ROAD, Inc.                        To be provided by @ROAD

          Attention: Office of Controller

5.7  INTEL will keep data containing data reasonably required for verification
     of the royalty fees to be paid. If @ROAD reasonably believe that INTEL's
     payments are inaccurate, @ROAD, at @ROAD's own expense, may select an
     independent auditor (agreeable to INTEL) to audit the relevant INTEL
     records relating to the number of copies distributed by INTEL solely at
     INTEL premises and only during normal INTEL business hours. Such auditor
     shall be required to execute an appropriate non-disclosure agreement as a
     condition to access to INTEL data and will be permitted to report to @ROAD
     only the number of units of @ROAD Hardware actually distributed, and the
     amount due and payable to @ROAD. @ROAD will hold such information in
     confidence for INTEL and will not disclose such information to any third
     party without the prior written consent of INTEL. Audits will occur not
     more than once each twelve (12) calendar month period, and will be limited
     in scope to the period since the previous audit, if any, or a period of the
     twelve (12) calendar months prior to the audit, whichever is shorter. @ROAD
     shall bear the cost

                                                                          Page 6
<PAGE>

     of such audits. If such audit discloses an underpayment, INTEL shall
     promptly pay the underpayment to @ROAD.

5.8  All payments shall be made free and clear without deduction for any and all
     present and future taxes imposed by any taxing authority. In the event that
     @ROAD is prohibited by law from making such payments unless such deductions
     are made or withheld therefrom, then @ROAD shall pay such additional
     amounts as are necessary in order that the net amounts received by INTEL,
     after such deduction or withholding, equal the amounts which would have
     been received if such deduction or withholding had not occurred. @ROAD
     shall promptly furnish INTEL with a copy of an official tax receipt or
     other appropriate evidence of any taxes imposed on payments made under this
     Agreement, including taxes on any additional amounts paid. In cases other
     than taxes referred to above, including but not limited to sales and use
     taxes, stamp taxes, value added taxes, property taxes and other taxes or
     duties imposed by any taxing authority on or with respect to this
     Agreement, the costs of such taxes or duties shall be borne by @ROAD. In
     the event that such taxes or duties are legally imposed initially on INTEL
     or INTEL is later assessed by any taxing authority, then INTEL will be
     promptly reimbursed by @ROAD for such taxes or duties plus any interest and
     penalties suffered by INTEL.

5.9  Except as specifically set forth in this Section 5. or unless otherwise
     agreed by the Parties in writing, INTEL will owe @ROAD no royalty or other
     compensation for performance by either Party of this Agreement, including,
     without limitation, the exercise by INTEL of the license grants set forth
     in Section 3 this Agreement.

6.   MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OBLIGATION

6.1  @ROAD will assign a technical manager to ensure timely and effective
     communication of support and maintenance issues with INTEL.  As a minimum,
     such technical contact will be available @ROAD's normal business hours to
     receive and act upon INTEL's maintenance and support requests.

6.2  @ROAD will immediately notify INTEL of any bugs, errors, or errata in @ROAD
     Products and/or errors in Manufacturing Package as they become known or
     suspected. Without limiting the foregoing, @ROAD will give INTEL written
     notification of bugs, errors, or errata in the @ROAD Products and/or
     Manufacturing Package, with preliminary analysis of the bug, error, or
     errata within five (5) calendar days, including, without limitation the
     nature of the bug, error, or errata, any patches or work arounds, and the
     expected corrective action date. @ROAD will give INTEL regular (not less
     than weekly) written updates on status of failure analysis and corrective
     action and final written report when failure analysis is complete and
     corrective action is implemented.

6.3  @ROAD will deliver to Intel Updates and Enhancements within a reasonable
     time following internal release, but in no event later than the earlier of
     ten (10) calendar days following internal release or delivery by @ROAD to
     any other customer or licensee.
