"Effective Date") by and between GoAmerica, Inc., a Delaware corporation with
its principal place of business at 433 Hackensack Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey
07601 (the "Company"), and Francis J. Elenio (the "Employee").

                                   WITNESSETH:

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

     WHEREAS, the Employee desires and is willing to accept continued 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 as Chief Financial Officer, or in such alternate position which the
Company shall determine in its discretion with a title of no less than "Vice
President" in an area of the Employee's competency, for an initial term
commencing on the Effective Date hereof and expiring on the third anniversary
thereof (the "initial term"), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the
terms hereof. 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 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. The Employee's duties hereunder shall be those

assigned by the Board of Directors from time to time and will discharge such
executive duties in connection therewith. 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 Board
of Directors or participating in non-business organizations so long as such

Employee's duties hereunder.

receive, for all services rendered to the Company hereunder, the following

base salary equal to $180,000. 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 or a compensation committee formed by the Board of Directors
(the "Compensation Committee") at the end of each calendar year of employment
during the term hereof. Such base salary may be decreased if done in conjunction
with similar pro rata decreases in base salary for other executives within the
Company.

     (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 or, if formed, the Compensation Committee thereof.

     (c) Incentive Compensation. The Employee shall be eligible for awards from

with the performance of the Employee's duties hereunder with respect to tolls,

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

(60) days of receipt of written notice of said breach;

          (ii) Misconduct as an employee of the Company, including but not
limited to: misappropriating any funds or property of the Company; attempting to

          (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

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

          (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


                                       4
<PAGE>

of said breach (changes in base salary pursuant to section 3(a) hereof shall not
constitute Good Reason);

          (ii) Failure to maintain the Employee in a position commensurate with
that referred to in Section 1 of this Agreement; provided however, that the
Employee may be removed as Chief Financial officer, provided further, that the
Employee shall be maintained in a position with a title of no less than "Vice
President" in an area of the Employee's competency; or

          (iii) A requirement that the Employee perform his duties hereunder
(other than (A) business travel consistent with that required of employees with
similar positions at other companies similar in size and stage of development to
the Company, and (B) activities required in connection with the sale or merger
of the Company, provided that such activities are not required for more than
three consecutive months) at a location outside of a 70 mile radius from
Hackensack, New Jersey.

     (d) The period of active employment of the Employee hereunder shall
terminate automatically in the event of his death.

     (e) Disability. In the event that the Employee shall be unable to perform
duties hereunder for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive 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
Employee's employment pursuant to this Agreement terminates prior to the end of
the term of this Agreement for a reason provided in Section 5 hereof, the
Company shall pay the Employee compensation as set forth below:


                                       5
<PAGE>

     (a) By Employee for Good Reason; By Company Without Cause. In the event
that the Employee's employment hereunder 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 continue to pay to the Employee his annual base
salary and all other compensation and benefits provided for in Section 3 hereof
(except those benefits which the Company may not properly provide, pursuant to
applicable Company benefit plan, policy or law) in the same manner as before
termination, for a period of one (1) year (the "Severance Period"); provided,
however, that at the end of such Severance Period, the Employee will continue to
be eligible to receive such benefits for up to an additional one (1) year period
(the "Extended Severance Period"), if and only if, the Employee does not obtain
an "Alternate Income Source" (as defined below). Upon obtaining an Alternate
Income Source (the Company shall not be responsible for any subsequent loss of
such Alternate Income Source), at any time after the termination of the
Employee's employment with the Company, the Employee will no longer be eligible
for any benefits during the Extended Severance Period or any remaining portion
thereof. The Company's obligation to make payments to the Employee during the
Severance Period shall not be offset by any income the Employee receives from
sources other than the Company for work activity conducted by the Employee
during the Severance Period. The Company's obligation to make payments to the
Employee during the Extended Severance Period shall be reduced to the extent of
any income the Employee receives from sources other than the Company for work
activity conducted by the Employee during the Extended Severance Period, whether
or not such income qualifies as an Alternate Income Source. To the extent the
Employee receives any medical or health benefits pursuant to this section, such
benefits shall be provided as a reimbursement (or direct payment at the sole
election of the Company) to the Employee of payments made pursuant to an
election to continue benefits under COBRA. "Alternate Income Source" shall
include any reasonable executive or consulting position which provides the
Employee with a base salary which is substantially the base salary provided
pursuant to section 3(a) hereof;

          (ii) Notwithstanding the terms of any stock option agreement to which
the Employee is a party to the contrary, (A) the Employee shall continue to vest
in stock options during the Severance Period as if he remained an employee of
the Company, and (B) the Employee may exercise any vested options at any time
prior to the end of the Severance Period;


                                       6
<PAGE>

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

          (iv) the payments, rights and entitlements described in Sections
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 one (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 salaried long-term
disability plan of the Company covering the Employee then in effect; and

          (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:


                                       7
<PAGE>

     (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

          (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) and thereafter for twelve (12) months (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:

          (i) engage, in any state or territory of the United States of America
or other country where the Company is actively doing business (determined as of
the date the Employee's employment with the Company terminates), in direct or
indirect competition with the business conducted by the Company or activities
which the Company plans to conduct within one year of termination (determined as
of the date the Employee's employment with the Company terminates);


                                       8
<PAGE>

          (ii) request or otherwise attempt to induce or influence, directly or
indirectly, any present customer or supplier, or prospective customer or
supplier, of the Company, or other persons sharing a business relationship with
the Company, to cancel, limit or postpone their business with the Company, or
otherwise take action which might be to the material disadvantage of the
Company; or

          (iii) hire or solicit for employment, directly or indirectly, or
induce or actively attempt to influence, any Employee of the Company or any
Affiliate, as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to
terminate his or her employment or discontinue such person's consultant,
contractor or other business association with the Company.

     (b) If the Employee violates any of the restrictions contained in Section
8(a) above, the Restrictive Period shall be increased by the period of time from
the commencement of any such violation until the time such violation shall be
cured by the Employee to the satisfaction of the Company, and the Company may
withhold any and all payments, except salary, otherwise due and owing to the
Employee under this Agreement.

     (c) In the event that either the geographical area or the Restrictive
Period set forth in Section 8(a) of this Agreement is deemed to be unreasonably
restrictive in any court proceeding, the court may reduce such geographical area
and Restrictive Period to the extent which it deems reasonable under the
circumstances.

     (d) 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
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.

     (e) The Employee, as a condition of his continued employment, acknowledges
and agrees that he has reviewed and signed and will continue to be bound by all
of the provisions set


                                       9
<PAGE>

forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, 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.

     (f) The Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 8 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 contained in this Section 8. 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. Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. During the term of this
Agreement, the Company shall maintain standard directors and officers liability
insurance in a face amount of no less than $10,000,000.

     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


                                       10
<PAGE>

successor to expressly assume its obligations hereunder. 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 Board of Directors--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 New
Jersey 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
constitute a part of this Agreement.

     15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and Exhibit A hereto contains the
entire agreement of the parties concerning the Employee's employment and all
promises, representations, understandings, arrangements and prior agreements on
such subject are merged herein and superseded hereby. The provisions of this
Agreement may not be amended, modified, repealed, waived, extended or discharged
except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of any amendment, modification, repeal, waiver, extension or discharge is
sought. No person acting other than pursuant to a resolution of the Board of
Directors shall have authority on behalf of the Company to agree to amend,
modify, repeal, waive, extend or discharge


                                       11
<PAGE>

any provision of this Agreement or anything in reference thereto or to exercise
any of the Company's rights to terminate or to fail to extend this Agreement.

                                   EMPLOYEE'S
                    INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AND CONFIDENTIALITY
                                    AGREEMENT

         In consideration of my employment or continued employment by GoAmerica,
Inc., a Delaware corporation or any subsidiary or parent corporation thereof
(the "Company"), I hereby represent and agree as follows:

         1. I understand that the Company is engaged in the business of
providing wireless internet service and related services and that I may have
access to or acquire information with respect to Confidential Information (as
defined below), including processes and methods, development tools, scientific,
technical and/or business innovations.

         2. Disclosure of Innovations. I agree to disclose in writing to the
Company all inventions, improvements and other innovations of any kind that I
may make, conceive, develop or reduce to practice, alone or jointly with others,
during the term of my employment with the Company, whether or not they are
related to my work for the Company and whether or not they are eligible for
patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other legal protection
("Innovations"). Examples of Innovations shall include, but are not limited to,
discoveries, research, inventions, formulas, techniques, processes, tools,
know-how, marketing plans, new product plans, production processes, advertising,
packaging and marketing techniques and improvements to computer hardware or
software.

         3. Assignment of Ownership of Innovations. I agree that all Innovations
will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and I hereby assign all
of my rights, title or interest in the Innovations and in all related patents,
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, rights of priority and other proprietary
rights to the Company. At the Company's request and expense, during and after
the period of my employment with the Company, I will assist and cooperate with
the Company in all respects and will execute documents, and, subject to my
reasonable availability, give testimony and take further acts requested by the
Company to obtain, maintain, perfect and enforce for the Company patent,
copyright, trademark, trade secret and other legal protection for the
Innovations. I hereby appoint the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company as my attorney-in-fact to execute documents on my behalf for this
purpose.

         4. Protection of Confidential Information of the Company. I understand
that my work as an employee of the Company creates a relationship of trust and
confidence between myself and the Company. During and after the period of my
employment with the Company, I will not use or disclose or allow anyone else to
use or disclose any "Confidential Information" (as defined below) relating to
the Company, its products, suppliers or customers except as may be necessary in
the performance of my work for the

<PAGE>

Company or as may be authorized in advance by appropriate officers of the
Company. "Confidential Information" shall include innovations, methodologies,
processes, tools, business strategies, financial information, forecasts,
personnel information, customer lists, trade secrets and any other non-public
technical or business information, whether in writing or given to me orally,
which I know or have reason to know the Company would like to treat as
confidential for any purpose, such as maintaining a competitive advantage or
avoiding undesirable publicity. I will keep Confidential Information secret and
will not allow any unauthorized use of the same, whether or not any document
containing it is marked as confidential. These restrictions, however, will not
apply to Confidential Information that has become known to the public generally
through no fault or breach of mine or that the Company regularly gives to third
parties without restriction on use or disclosure. Upon termination of my work
with the Company, I will promptly deliver to the Company all documents and
materials of any nature pertaining to my work with the Company and I will not
take with me any documents or materials or copies thereof containing any
Confidential Information.

         5. Other Agreements. I represent that my performance of all the terms
of this Agreement and my duties as an employee of the Company will not breach
any invention assignment agreement, confidential information agreement,
non-competition agreement or other agreement with any former employer or other
party. I represent that I have not and will not bring with me to the Company or
use in the performance of my duties for the Company any documents or materials
of a former employer that are not generally available to the public.

         6. Disclosure of this Agreement. I hereby authorize the Company to
notify others, including but not limited to customers of the Company and any of
my future employers, of the terms of this Agreement and my responsibilities
hereunder.

         7. Injunctive Relief . I understand that in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement by me the Company may suffer irreparable
harm and monetary damages alone would not adequately compensate the Company. The
Company will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this
Agreement.

         8. Enforcement and Severability. I acknowledge that each of the
provisions in this Agreement are separate and independent covenants. I agree
that if any court shall determine that any provision of this Agreement is
unenforceable with respect to its term or scope such provision shall nonetheless
be enforceable by any such court upon such modified term or scope as may be
determined by such court to be reasonable and enforceable. The remainder of this
Agreement shall not be affected by the unenforceability or court ordered
modification of a specific provision.

         9. Governing Law. I agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

         10. Superseding Agreement. I understand and agree that this Agreement,
as Exhibit A to my Employment Agreement with the Company, contains the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all

previous agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to its
subject matter.

         11. Acknowledgments. I acknowledge that I have read this agreement, was
given the opportunity to ask questions and sufficient time to consult an
attorney and I have either consulted an attorney or affirmatively decided not to
consult an attorney. I understand that this agreement is a part of and does not
alter the terms of my Employment Agreement with the Company. I also understand
that my obligations under this Agreement survive the termination of my
employment with the Company.
