EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS  AGREEMENT  made  effective  as of the 1st day of July  2001  (the
"Effective Date") by and between  GoAmerica,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation (the
"Company"), and Daniel R. Luis (the "Employee").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS,  the Company  desires to secure the employment of the Employee
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS,  the Employee desires and is willing to accept employment with
the Company in accordance herewith.

         NOW THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein,  and intending to be legally bound hereby,  the parties hereto
agree as follows:

         1.  Term.  The  Company  hereby  agrees to employ the Employee  and the
Employee hereby agrees to serve the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.  The Employee will occupy the position of President and Chief
Executive Officer of Wynd Communications  Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary
("Subsidiary")   of  the  Company  and  Senior  Vice   President  for  Corporate
Development for the Company,  or any other executive position as may be required
by the Company from time to time.  Employee  shall serve  Company for an initial
term  commencing  on the  Effective  Date  hereof  and  expiring  on the  second
anniversary  thereof (the "initial term"). On the expiration of the initial term
and on each yearly anniversary  thereof, the Agreement shall automatically renew
for an additional one-year period (the "Renewal Term"), unless sooner terminated
in accordance  with the  provisions of Section 5

<PAGE>

or unless either party notifies the other party in writing of its intentions not
to renew this  Agreement  not less than sixty (60) days prior to such expiration
date or anniversary,  as the case may be.

         2.  Positions and Duties.

         (a) Duties.  The Employee's duties hereunder shall be those which shall
be prescribed  from time to time by the President,  Chief  Executive  Officer or
Board of Directors of the  Company.  The Employee  shall devote his full working
time, energy and skill (reasonable absences for vacations and illness excepted),
to the  business of the Company as is  necessary in order to perform such duties
faithfully,  competently and diligently; provided, however, that notwithstanding
any  provision in this  Agreement  to the  contrary,  the Employee  shall not be
precluded  from  devoting  reasonable  periods of time required for serving as a
member of boards of companies  which have been approved by the President,  Chief
Executive  Officer or Board of  Directors  of the  Company or  participating  in
non-business  organizations  so long as such  memberships  or  activities do not
interfere  with  the  performance  of the  Employee's  duties  hereunder.  It is
understood and agreed that if the Company  hereafter  sells or otherwise  alters
the corporate  structure of the Subsidiary and thereafter retains the Employee's
employment, the Employee will retain a position with the Company with a title no
lower than that of a Vice  President  level  employee.  Such  change in position
shall in no way trigger any rights pursuant to section 5(c) hereof.

         (b) Board  Nomination.  So long as the  Employee is the  President  and
Chief Executive Officer of the Subsidiary, the Company will use diligent efforts
to obtain the  nomination  and  election  of the  Employee  as a director of the
Subsidiary.  In the event that the  Employee  is


                                      -2-
<PAGE>

elected  as a director of the Subsidiary,  the Employee shall perform all duties
incident to such directorship faithfully, diligently and competently and in  the
best interests of the Company.

         3.  Compensation. During the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall
receive,  for all  services  rendered to the Company  hereunder,  the  following
(hereinafter referred to as "Compensation"):

         (a) Base  Salary.  For the term hereof,  the Employee  shall be paid an
annual base salary equal to $175,000. The Employee's annual base salary shall be
payable in equal  installments in accordance  with the Company's  general salary
payment policies but no less frequently than monthly.  Such base salary shall be
reviewed,  and any increases in the amount thereof shall be  determined,  by the
Board of  Directors  of the Company or a  compensation  committee  formed by the
Board of Directors (the  "Compensation  Committee") of the Company at the end of
each 12-month period of employment during the term hereof.

         (b)  Bonuses.  The  Employee  shall  be  eligible  for and may  receive
bonuses.  The  amount  of such  bonuses,  if any,  shall be  solely  within  the
discretion  of the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Company  or the  Compensation
Committee thereof.

         (c) Incentive  Compensation.  The Employee shall be eligible for awards
from the Company's incentive  compensation  plans,  including without limitation
any stock  option  plans  applicable  to high level  executive  officers  of the
Company or to key  employees of the Company or its  subsidiaries,  in accordance
with  the  terms  thereof  and on a basis  commensurate  with his  position  and
responsibilities.

         (d) Benefits.  The Employee and his  "dependents,"  as that term may be
defined under the applicable benefit plan(s) of the Company,  shall be included,
to the extent eligible thereunder,


                                      -3-

in any and all plans, programs and policies which provide benefits for employees
and their dependents.  Such plans, programs and policies may include health care
insurance, long-term disability plans, life insurance,  supplemental  disability
insurance, supplemental life insurance, holidays and other similar or comparable
benefits made available to the Company's employees.

         (e) Expenses.  Subject to and in accordance with the Company's policies
and  procedures,   the  Employee  hereby  is  authorized  to  incur,  and,  upon
presentation of itemized  accounts,  shall be reimbursed by the Company for, any
and all reasonable and necessary  business-related  expenses, which expenses are
incurred by the Employee on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         4.  Absences.  The  Employee  shall be entitled to vacations of no less
than four (4) weeks,  absences because of illness or other incapacity,  and such
other absences, whether for holiday, personal time, or for any other purpose, as
set forth in the Company's employment manual or current procedures and policies,
as the case may be, as same may be amended from time-to-time.

         5. Termination. In addition to the events of termination and expiration
of this Agreement  provided for in Section 1 hereof,  the Employee's  employment
hereunder may be terminated only as follows:

         (a) Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Employee's  employment

hereunder  without cause upon no less than sixty (60) days prior written  notice
to the Company.

         (b) For Cause, by the Company. The Company may terminate the Employee's
employment hereunder for cause immediately and with prompt notice to the

termination shall include, but is not limited to, the following conduct of the
Employee:

             (i)    Material  breach of any provision of this  Agreement  by the
Employee,  which breach  shall not have been cured by the Employee  within sixty

             (ii)   Misconduct as an employee of the Company,  including but not

has an interest  which is adverse to the interests of the Company;  or any other
act or omission which substantially impairs the Company's ability to conduct its
ordinary business in its usual manner;

             (iii)  Unreasonable  neglect  or  refusal  to  perform  the  duties
assigned to the Employee under or pursuant to this Agreement;

             (iv)   Conviction  of a felony  (including  pleading  guilty  or no
contest to a felony or lesser charge which results from plea bargaining); or

             (v)    Any other act or omission  which subjects the Company or any
of its subsidiaries to substantial public disrespect, scandal or ridicule.

         (c) For Good Reason by Employee.  The Employee may terminate employment
hereunder  for good reason  immediately  and with prompt  notice to the Company.

for termination  by the  Employee shall  include,  but  is not  limited  to, the
following conduct of the Company:

             (i)    Material  breach of any  provision  of this Agreement by the
Company, which breach shall not have been cured by the Company within sixty (60)
days of receipt of written notice of said breach;

             (ii)   The assignment to the  Employee of  any duties  inconsistent
with the  Employee's experience  or abilities,  excluding  for this  purpose any
isolated action  not taken in bad faith and which is  promptly  remedied  by the
Company after receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee.

         (d) Death.  The period of active  employment of the Employee  hereunder

         (e)  Disability.  In the  event  that the  Employee  shall be unable to

calendar days or one hundred  eighty (180) work days within any 360  consecutive
calendar days, by reason of disability as a result of illness, accident or other
physical or mental incapacity or disability, the Company may, in its discretion,
by giving  written notice to the Employee,  terminate the Employee's  employment
hereunder as long as the  Employee is still  disabled on the  effective  date of
such termination.

         (f) Mutual  Agreement.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time by
mutual agreement of the Employee and the Company.

         6.  Compensation  in the Event of  Termination.  In the event  that the

the term of this  Agreement


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

for a reason provided  in  Section 5  hereof, the Company shall pay the Employee
compensation as set forth below:

         (a) By Employee for Good Reason; by Company Without Cause. In the event
this Agreement is terminated by the Employee for good reason pursuant to Section
5(c) hereof;  or by the Company  without cause  pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof,
then:

             (i)   the  Company shall  pay the Employee his  then current annual
base salary for a period of one (1) year.  The  Employee  shall not be  required
to mitigate  the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 6 by seeking
employment  or otherwise,  nor shall any amounts be received from  employment or
otherwise by the Employee  offset in any manner the  obligations  of the Company
hereunder; and

             (ii)  the  payments, rights and  entitlements  described in Section
6(a)(i)  hereof,  if any,  shall only be made if the  Employee  shall first have
executed and  delivered to the Company a release with respect to his  employment
hereunder and the termination of such employment.

         (b) By Company Upon Termination of Agreement Due to Employee's Death or
Disability.  In the  event  of the  Employee's  death  or if the  Company  shall
terminate the Employee's employment hereunder for disability pursuant to Section
5(e) hereof, then:

             (i)   the Company  shall continue  to pay the base  salary  payable
hereunder  at the then  current  rate  for (1) year  after  the  termination  of
employment to the Employee or his personal representative, as applicable;

             (ii)  in  the  event of a  termination  pursuant  to  Section  5(e)
hereof, if  eligible, Employee shall be entitled to benefits under any long-term
disability plan of the Company covering the Employee then in effect; and


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

             (iii) all other compensation and benefits provided for in Section 3
of this Agreement shall cease upon such termination.

         (c) By Company for Cause or By Employee  Without  Good  Reason.  In the
event that: (i) the Company shall terminate the Employee's  employment hereunder
for cause pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof;  or (ii) the Employee shall terminate
employment  hereunder  without  "good reason" as defined in Section 5(c) hereof,
then the Employee's rights hereunder shall cease as of the effective date of the
termination, including, without limitation, the right to receive the Base Salary
and all other  compensation or benefits  provided for in this Agreement,  except
that the Company shall pay the Employee salary and other  Compensation which may
have been  earned and is due and  payable  but which has not been paid as of the
date of termination.

         7.  Effect  of  Termination.  In  the  event  of  expiration  or  early
termination  of this Agreement as provided  herein,  neither the Company nor the
Employee shall have any remaining duties or obligations hereunder except that:

         (a) The Company Shall:

             (i)    pay the  Employee's accrued salary  and  any  other  accrued
benefits under Section 3 hereof;

             (ii)   Reimburse the  Employee  for  expenses  already  incurred in
accordance with Section 3(e) hereof;

             (iii) To the extent  required by law, pay or otherwise  provide for
any benefits,  payments or continuation or conversion  rights in accordance with
the  provisions  of  any  benefit  plan  of  which  the  Employee  or any of his
dependents is or was a participant; and

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

             (iv)  Pay the Employee or his  beneficiaries any  compensation  due
pursuant to Section 6 hereof; and

         (b) The  Employee  shall  remain bound by the terms of Section 8 hereof
and Exhibit A attached hereto.

         8. Restrictive Covenant.  (a) The Employee acknowledges and agrees that
he has access to secret and  confidential  information  of the  Company  and its
subsidiaries and that the following restrictive covenant is necessary to protect
the  interests  and  continued  success  of the  Company.  Except  as  otherwise
expressly  consented to in writing by the Company,  until the termination of the
Employee's employment (for any reason and whether such employment was under this
Agreement or  otherwise)  (the  "Restricted  Period"),  the Employee  shall not,
directly or  indirectly,  acting as an employee,  owner,  shareholder,  partner,
joint venturer,  officer,  director,  agent, salesperson,  consultant,  advisor,
investor or principal of any corporation or other business entity engage, in any
state or territory of the United  States of America or other  country  where the
Company is actively doing business,  in direct or indirect  competition with the
business  conducted by the Company or  activities  in which the Company plans to
conduct business.

         (b)  Nothing in this  Section 8,  whether  express  or  implied,  shall
prevent  the  Employee  from  being a holder of  securities  of a company  whose
securities  are registered  under Section 12 of the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or any privately held company; provided,  however, that during
the term of this agreement,  and with respect to any company which may be deemed
to directly or indirectly  compete with the business conducted by the Company or
with the  activities  which the Company plans to conduct,  the Employee holds of
record and


                                      -9-
<PAGE>

beneficially  less  than  one  percent (1%) of  the  votes eligible  to  be cast
generally  by  holders of  securities  of  such  company  for  the  election  of
directors.

         (c)  The  Employee,   as  a  condition  of  his  continued  employment,
acknowledges  and agrees that he has reviewed  and will  continue to be bound by
all of the  provisions  set forth in the Company's  Employee-At-Will,  Invention
Assignment,  Confidentiality and  Non-Solicitation  Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit A, which is  incorporated  herein by reference and made a part hereof as
though fully set forth herein,  during the term of this Agreement,  and any time
hereafter.

         (d) Employee  acknowledges  and agrees that in the event of a breach or
threatened  breach of the  provisions of this Section 8 or Exhibit A by Employee
the Company may suffer  irreparable  harm and  therefore,  the Company  shall be
entitled,  to the  extent  permissible  by law,  immediately  to cease to pay or
provide the Employee any  compensation  being, or to be, paid or provided to him
pursuant  to  Sections 3 or 6 of this  Agreement,  and also to obtain  immediate
injunctive relief  restraining the Employee from conduct in breach or threatened
breach of the covenants.  Nothing  herein shall be construed as prohibiting  the
Company  from  pursuing  any other  remedies  available to it for such breach or
threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Employee.

         9.  Resolution of  Differences  Over  Breaches of Agreement.  Except as
otherwise  provided herein, any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating
to,  this  Agreement,  or the breach  hereof,  or  otherwise  arising  out of or
relating  to the  Employee's  employment,  compensation  and  benefits  with the
Company or the termination  thereof,  shall be reviewed in the first instance in
accordance with the Company's internal review procedures,  if any, with recourse


                                      -10-
<PAGE>

thereafter--for  temporary  or  preliminary  injunctive  relief  only  as to the
provisions  of  Section 8 and  Exhibit A -- to the  courts  having  jurisdiction
thereof.  If any  relief  other  than  injunctive  relief  is  sought,  then  to
arbitration in the State of New Jersey administered by the American  Arbitration
Association,  under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes
and judgment upon the award rendered by the  Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any
court having  jurisdiction  thereof.  Any claim or controversy  not submitted to
arbitration in accordance  with this Section 8 shall be waived and,  thereafter,
no  arbitration  panel or tribunal or court shall have the power to rule or make
any award on any such claim or controversy.

         10. No Conflicts. The Employee has represented and hereby represents to
the Company that the execution, delivery and performance by the Employee of this
Agreement  do not  conflict  with or result  in a  violation  or  breach  of, or
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any
contract,  agreement or  understanding,  whether  oral or written,  to which the
Employee is a  party or of which  the  Employee is or  should  be aware and that
there are no  restrictions,  covenants,  agreements  or limitations on his right
or ability to enter into and perform  the terms of this Agreement, and agrees to
save  the  Company  harmless  from any  liability,  cost or  expense,  including
attorney's fees, based upon or arising out of any such restrictions,  covenants,
agreements, or limitations that may be found to exist.

         11.  Waiver.  The  waiver by a party  hereto of any breach by the other
party  hereto  of any  provision  of this  Agreement  shall  not  operate  or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by a party hereto.

         12.  Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the successors  and assigns of the Company,  and the Company shall be
obligated to require any


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

successor to expressly assume its obligations hereunder and shall have the right
to assign its  rights to  enforce  the  provisions of Section 8 and Exhibit A to
any  successor. This Agreement shall inure to the  benefit of and be enforceable
by  the  Employee  or  his  legal  representatives,  executors,  administrators,
successors,  heirs,  distributees,  devisees and legatees. The Employee  may not
assign any of his duties,  responsibilities,  obligations or positions hereunder
to any person and any such purported  assignment by him shall  be void and of no
force and effect.

         13. Notices.  Any notices  required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing, and if personally delivered or when
sent by first class  certified  or  registered  mail,  postage  prepaid,  return
receipt  requested--in the case of the Employee, to his residence address as set
forth  below,  and in the case of the Company,  to the address of its  principal
place of business as set forth below, in care of the President,  Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the  Company--or to such other
person or at such other  address  with respect to each party as such party shall
notify the other in writing.

         14. Construction of Agreement.

         (a)  Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall  be  governed  by and  its
provisions  construed and enforced in  accordance  with the internal laws of the
State of California without reference to its principles  regarding  conflicts of
law.

         (b)  Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions
of this Agreement  shall be held to be invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable,  the
validity,  legality or enforceability  of the remaining  provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

         (c) Headings.  The  descriptive  headings of the several  paragraphs of
this  Agreement  are inserted for  convenience  of reference  only and shall not
