                               SURRENDER AGREEMENT

         SURRENDER AGREEMENT made as of November 14, 2003 ("this Agreement") by
and between STELLAR CONTINENTAL LLC ("Lessor"),  GOAMERICA,  INC.  ("Guarantor")
and GOAMERICA COMMUNICATIONS CORP. ("Lessee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS,  Lessee is in occupancy of approximately 43,027 gross rentable
square feet of space,  consisting of approximately  15,917 gross rentable square
feet  of  space  on the  fourth  (4th)  floor  of the  building  located  at 401
Hackensack Avenue,  Hackensack,  New Jersey, together with 22,458 gross rentable
square feet of space on the third (3rd)  floor and 4,652 gross  rentable  square
feet  of  space  on the  second  (2nd)  floor  of the  building  located  at 433
Hackensack  Avenue,  Hackensack,  New  Jersey  (collectively,   the  "Premises")
pursuant to a lease dated  August 7, 1996 by and between  Lessor and Lesser,  as
amended by a First Amendment to Lease dated August 24, 1998, a Second  Amendment
to Lease  dated  June 24,  1999,  a Third  Amendment  to Lease  dated made as of
December 1, 1999, a Fourth  Amendment to Lease dated as of February,  2000 and a
Fifth Amendment to Lease dated August 22, 2000 (herein collectively  referred to
as the "Lease").

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Lease, the term of the Lease
(exclusive of any and all  unexercised  options to renew contained in the Lease,
if any) is to expire on August 31, 2010 (the "Expiration Date"); and

         WHEREAS,  Lessee has requested an acceleration of the Expiration  Date,
upon and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

         WHEREAS,  Guarantor  has  executed a Warrant  Certificate  of even date
herewith in favor of Lessor; and

         WHEREAS,  Lessee has executed a New Lease with Lessor (the "New Lease")
of even date herewith.

         NOW, THEREFORE,  for good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and
sufficiency of which is expressly acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee AGREE:

         1. Words and phrases  with initial  capital case letters not  otherwise
defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in
the Lease.

         2. Lessee  agrees to surrender  the Premises to Lessor  within ten (10)
days  following  the date Lessor  receives a  Certificate  of Occupancy  for the
demised premises under the New Lease (the "Surrender  Date").  Lessor represents
to Lessee that the existing  sublessee  may remain in possession of the premises
under their  sublease  with Lessee,  provided the sublessee is not in default of
any obligation owed Lessor or Lessee under the sublease and further provided the
sublessee is  negotiating  a new lease with Lessor in good faith.  The foregoing
sentence  shall not in any way waive any right  Lessor has under the sublease or
in any other agreement with the sublessee.

         3. On the Surrender  Date, the Lease and the term thereby demised shall
automatically  cease  and  expire  as if  such  Surrender  Date  were  the  date
originally  fixed for cessation and expiration of the Lease and the term thereby
demised,  Lessor shall release each of the Lessee and the  Guarantor  from their
obligations  with  respect to the Lease and the  Guaranty,  Lessee shall have no
further rights or obligations  under the Lease or in and to the Premises (except
those  obligations  which,  by the terms of the  Lease,  survive  expiration  or
earlier  termination  thereof),   and  Lessee  shall  immediately  (a)  pay  any
outstanding costs or fees accrued through the last day of the month in which the
Surrender Date falls,  and (b) surrender the Premises to Lessor broom clean,  in
good order, repair and condition,  and in accordance with any and all provisions
of the Lease  applicable to the expiration of the term thereof.  Notwithstanding
the  forgoing,  Lessor and Lessee  hereby  agree that  Lessor  shall  retain all
fixtures,  furniture and equipment on the Premises,  provided  Lessee's grant of
such items to Lessor is made without recourse or representation to Lessor except
as to title,  and  further  provided  that  Lessee  shall keep such items as are
listed on  Schedule  A annexed  hereto  and made a part  hereof  (the  "Retained
Items"), which shall include the additional HVAC system installed by Lessee (the
"Additional HVAC System"). Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises caused
by Lessee's  removal of the  Additional  HVAC System,  at Lessee's sole cost and
expense, prior to the Surrender Date.

         4. As consideration for Lessor entering into this Surrender  Agreement,
Lessee has (i) paid Lessor the sum of Five  Hundred  Fifty Five  Thousand  Seven
Hundred and Fifty Five and No/100 ($555,755.00)  Dollars,  which sum is equal to
the amount of the drawdown made on September 24, 2003 on that certain  Letter of
Credit  issued by Fleet  National  Bank,  on behalf of Lessee,  which  Letter of
Credit names Morgan Stanley Bank as beneficiary,  and (ii) transferred  title to
Lessor in all of the Retained Items, without recourse or representation.  Lessor
hereby  agrees  that no  additional  sums will be due for Term  Fixed Base Rent,
Operating Costs,  Utility and Energy Costs and Real Estate Taxes under the Lease
from the date hereof through the Surrender Date.

         5.  Neither  Lessee's  surrender  of the  Lease  and the  Premises  nor
Lessor's  acceptance  thereof  shall be deemed a waiver  by  Lessor of  Lessee's
liability  for any future  third-party  claims  not known as of the date  hereof
resulting from Lessee's tenancy during the term of the Lease, in accordance with
the provisions of the Lease.

         6. Time is of the  essence  to  Lessee's  obligations  of  payment  and
performance  under this  Agreement  such that if Lessee shall fail to timely pay
and perform its obligations  under this Agreement,  Lessee shall be conclusively
deemed to be holding  over,  and Lessor shall have the right to exercise any and
all rights and remedies afforded Lessor under the Lease, at law and in equity.

         7. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Lease remains
in full force and effect, unchanged and unmodified.

                           [SIGNATURE PAGE TO FOLLOW]
