                 AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT

      This Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement (this  "Agreement") is
made as of January 10, 2008 (the "Effective Date") by and among:

      (i)   GoAmerica,   Inc.,  a  Delaware   corporation   (together  with  its
            successors and permitted assigns, the "Company");

      (ii)  Each of the shareholders of the Company listed on Schedule A to this
            Agreement and their Permitted Transferees under this Agreement (each
            a "Clearlake Investor" and, collectively the "Clearlake Investors");

      (iii) Each of the shareholders of the Company listed on Schedule B to this
            Agreement  (each  a  "HOVRS  Party"  and,  collectively  the  "HOVRS
            Parties"); and

      (iv)  such other  Persons,  if any, that from time to time become  parties
            hereto pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof (collectively,  together with
            the Clearlake Investors, the "Investors").

                                    RECITALS

      WHEREAS,  the  Company  and the  Clearlake  Investors  are parties to that
certain Stock Purchase  Agreement dated as of August 1, 2007 (the "Initial Stock
Purchase  Agreement"),  pursuant  to which the Company  issued to the  Clearlake
Investors  290,135 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company,  par value
$.01 per share.

      WHEREAS,  the  Company  and the  Clearlake  Investors  are parties to that
certain Amended and Restated Stock Purchase  Agreement dated as of September 12,
2007 (the  "Acquisition  Stock Purchase  Agreement" and,  collectively  with the
Initial Stock Purchase  Agreement,  the "Clearlake Stock Purchase  Agreements"),
pursuant  to which the Company  has agreed to sell to the  Clearlake  Investors,
subject  to the  satisfaction  or waiver of the  conditions  specified  therein,
7,446,809 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company.

      WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to provide
for the investor and governance rights set forth herein.  Unless otherwise noted
in this  Agreement,  capitalized  terms used herein  shall have the meanings set
forth in Section 10.

                                    AGREEMENT

      NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

1. DEMAND REGISTRATIONS.

      1.1.  Requests  for  Registration.  At any time a Clearlake  Investor  may
initiate the  registration  of Common  Stock to be sold in a Public  Offering (a
"Demand  Registration").  Subject to the other  provisions  of this Section 1, a
Clearlake  Investor may initiate (on behalf of itself, any of its Affiliates and
other holders of Registrable  Securities) three (3) registrations of all or part
of  their  Registrable  Securities  on  Form  S-1 or any  similar  or  successor
long-form


                                       1
<PAGE>

registration  ("Long-Form  Registrations"),  and,  if the Company is eligible to
utilize  a   registration   statement   on  Form  S-3  for  resales  by  selling
stockholders,  an  unlimited  (but no more  than two such  registrations  in any
twelve month period) number of registrations of all or part of their Registrable
Securities  on Form S-3 or any  similar  or  successor  short-form  registration
("Short-Form  Registrations");  provided in each case that the  aggregate  gross
offering price of the Registrable  Securities  requested to be registered in any
Long Form  Registration  pursuant to this  Section  must be at least  $5,000,000
unless the Registrable  Securities requested to be registered  constitute all of
the  Registrable  Securities  then  held  by  such  Clearlake  Investor  and its
Affiliates;  and provided,  further, that the Company shall have no liability to
any Investor or HOVRS Party with respect to any  conditions  that the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  may impose  with  respect  to any such  registration,
including any conditions that the Securities and Exchange  Commission may impose
upon the utilization of Rule 415 in connection with any such registration.

      1.2. Demand Notice. All requests for Demand Registrations shall be made by
giving  written  notice to the Company (a "Demand  Notice").  Each Demand Notice
shall specify the approximate number of Registrable  Securities  requested to be
registered.  Within ten (10) days after receipt of any such Demand  Notice,  the
Company will give written notice of such requested registration to (i) all other
holders of  Registrable  Securities and (ii) to all Holders under and as defined
in that certain Lock-Up and Registration  Rights Agreement,  dated as of January
10, 2008,  by and among the Company and certain of the HOVRS Parties (the "HOVRS
Registration  Rights  Agreement" and each such Holder, a "HOVRS  Holder"),  and,
subject to Section 1.5, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts
to  include  in  such  registration  (and  in  all  related   registrations  and
qualifications  under blue sky laws or in  compliance  with  other  registration
requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities and all
Registrable  Securities  under and as defined in the HOVRS  Registration  Rights
Agreement ("HOVRS Registrable Securities") with respect to which the Company has
received  written  requests  for  inclusion  therein  within  15 days  after the
delivery of the Company's notice.

      1.3. Demand Registration  Expenses.  The Company will pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Demand Registration,
whether or not it has become effective.

      1.4.  Short-Form  Registrations.  Subject to the  qualifications set forth
herein  and  subject  to  any  limitations  that  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission may impose, (i) Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Registrations
whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable  short-form  (unless the
managing underwriter(s) of such offering requests the Company to use a Long-Form
Registration  in order  to sell  all of the  Registrable  Securities  and  HOVRS
Registrable  Securities  requested to be sold) and (ii) the Clearlake  Investors
may, in connection with any Demand  Registration  requested by such holders that
is a  Short-Form  Registration,  require  the  Company  to use its  commercially
reasonable efforts to file such Short-Form  Registration with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  in  accordance  with and  pursuant  to Rule 415  under the
Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect) including,  if the Company
is then  eligible,  as an  automatic  shelf  registration  statement  (any  such
Short-Form  Registration,  a "Shelf Registration").  Notwithstanding anything in
this  Agreement to the  contrary,  if the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
refuses to declare a  registration  statement  filed  pursuant to this Agreement
effective as a valid secondary offering under Rule 415 due to


                                       2
<PAGE>

the number of Registrable  Securities and HOVRS Registrable  Securities included
in such registration  statement relative to the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding  or the  number  of  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock  held by
non-affiliates or for any other reason,  then,  without any liability under this
Agreement  or  any  further  obligation  to  register  such  excess  Registrable
Securities and HOVRS Registrable  Securities,  the Company shall be permitted to
reduce the number of  Registrable  Securities and HOVRS  Registrable  Securities
included in such registration statement (pro rata, based on the number of shares
requested to be registered, among the holders of such Registrable Securities and
HOVRS  Registrable  Securities) to an amount that does not exceed an amount that
the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  allows for the offering  thereunder to
qualify as a valid  secondary  offering under Rule 415. The Company shall not be
liable for damages  under this  Agreement as to any  Registrable  Securities  or
HOVRS  Registrable  Securities  which are not  permitted by the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission to be included in a registration statement due to Securities
and Exchange Commission guidance relating to Rule 415.

      1.5.  Priority on Demand  Registrations.  The Company shall not include in
any Demand  Registration any securities which are not Registrable  Securities or
HOVRS  Registrable  Securities  without the prior receipt of Majority  Clearlake
Investor Approval.  If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the
managing  underwriter(s)  advises the Company  that in its opinion the number of
Registrable  Securities  and HOVRS  Registrable  Securities  and,  if  permitted
hereunder,  other securities,  requested to be included in such offering exceeds
the number of Registrable Securities and other securities,  if any, which can be
sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then
the Company  shall include in such  registration,  (a) prior to the inclusion of
any  securities  that  are  not  Registrable  Securities  or  HOVRS  Registrable
Securities,   the  number  of  Registrable   Securities  and  HOVRS  Registrable
Securities  requested to be included in such  offering  that,  in the opinion of
such  managing  underwriter,   can  be  sold  without  adversely  affecting  the
marketability of the offering, pro rata (based on the number of shares requested
to be registered)  among the respective  holders  thereof,  provided that if the
number of  securities  that are  Registrable  Securities  and HOVRS  Registrable
Securities that are included in such offering are less than 75% of the number of
securities  that are  Registrable  Securities and HOVRS  Registrable  Securities
requested to be included in such  offering,  such  offering  shall not count for
purposes of  calculating  the number of Long-Form  Registrations  initiated by a
Majority  Clearlake  Investor,  and  (b)  only  then  securities  that  are  not
Registrable  Securities  or  HOVRS  Registrable  Securities,   if  the  managing
underwriter(s) has advised that such securities may be included.

      1.6.  Restrictions  on  Demand  Registrations.  The  Company  will  not be
obligated to effect any Demand  Registration within 90 days after the closing of
a  Public  Offering  (other  than on Form S-4 or Form  S-8 or any  successor  or
similar form, but including the closing of an underwritten distribution pursuant
to a Shelf Registration), except that if such Public Offering is an underwritten
offering and the managing  underwriter of such Public Offering determines that a
longer period,  not to exceed 180 days, is reasonably  necessary in its opinion,
then such  restricted  period shall  continue for the period  designated  by the
managing underwriter, provided that such period shall not extend beyond 180 days
after the closing of such Public Offering. The Company may postpone for up to 45
days  (from  the date of the  request)  the  filing  or the  effectiveness  of a
registration  statement for a Demand  Registration if and so long as the Company
determines that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have an
adverse effect on any


                                       3
<PAGE>

proposal  or plan by the  Company  or any of the  Subsidiaries  to engage in any
acquisition  or  disposition  of assets  (other than in the  ordinary  course of
business) or any merger,  consolidation,  tender offer, registration or issuance
of  securities,  financing or other  material  transaction.  The Company may not
postpone  a Demand  Registration  more  than two (2)  times in any  twelve-month
period.

      1.7.  Selection  of  Underwriters.  The  Clearlake  Investor(s)  selling a
majority of the Registrable  Securities to be sold by all Clearlake Investors in
a  Demand  Registration  will  have the  right  to  select  the  underwriter  or
underwriters  to administer  the offering,  provided that such selection will be
subject to the approval of the board of directors of the Company (the  "Board"),
which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

      1.8. Other  Registration  Rights. The Company represents and warrants that
it is not a party to, or  otherwise  subject  to, any other  agreement  granting
registration rights to any other Person with respect to any equity securities of
the  Company,  other  than  this  Agreement  and the HOVRS  Registration  Rights
Agreement.  Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to
any Person the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of
the Company,  or any securities  convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable
for such securities,  without Majority Clearlake Investor Approval approving the
grant of  registration  rights for such  securities;  provided that without such
approval,  subject  to  Section  6, (a) the  Company  may grant  rights to other
Persons to participate in Demand  Registrations  and Piggyback  Registrations so
long as such rights are  subordinate to the rights of the holders of Registrable
Securities   with   respect  to  such   Demand   Registrations   and   Piggyback
Registrations;  (b) the  Company  may grant  rights to other  Persons to request
registrations  so long as the holders of Registrable  Securities are entitled to
participate in any such registrations with such Persons pro rata on the basis of
the number of Common  Stock owned by each such  holder;  and (c) the Company may
enter into the HOVRS Registration Rights Agreement.

2. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.

      2.1. Right to Piggyback.  Whenever the Company proposes to register any of
its equity  securities  under the  Securities  Act (other than (a) pursuant to a
Demand Registration, (b) in connection with registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8
or any successor or similar form or (c) in connection  with the  registration of
shares  on Form  S-3 with  respect  to a  dividend  reinvestment  plan)  and the
registration  form to be used may be used for the  registration  of  Registrable
Securities (a "Piggyback  Registration"),  the Company will give prompt  written
notice to all holders of Registrable  Securities of its intention to effect such
a registration  and, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 below, will include in such
registration  all  Registrable  Securities with respect to which the Company has
received  written  requests  for  inclusion  therein  within  15 days  after the
delivery of the  Company's  notice.  Each such Company  notice shall specify the
approximate  number  of  Company  equity  securities  to be  registered  and the
anticipated per share price range for such offering.

      2.2. Piggyback Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in
connection   with  all  Piggyback   Registrations,   whether  or  not  any  such
registration becomes effective.


                                       4
<PAGE>

      2.3. Priority on Primary Registrations.  If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten  primary  registration  on behalf of the Company  and the  managing
underwriter(s)  advises the Company that in its opinion the number of securities
requested  to be included in such  registration  exceeds the number which can be
sold in such offering  without  adversely  affecting the  marketability  of such
offering,  the  Company  will  include  in such  registration:  (a)  first,  the
securities the Company proposes to sell, (b) second, the Registrable  Securities
and HOVRS Registrable  Securities requested to be included in such registration,
pro rata (based on the number of shares  requested to be  registered)  among the
holders of such Registrable Securities and HOVRS Registrable Securities, and (c)
third,  but only if all of the  Registrable  Securities  and  HOVRS  Registrable
Securities  requested to be included in such  registration  are included in such
registration,  the  other  securities  requested  to be  included  in  the  such
registration in the manner determined by the Company and such shareholders.

      2.4. Priority on Secondary Registrations.

      (a) If a Piggyback  Registration is an underwritten secondary registration
on  behalf  of  holders  of  HOVRS  Registrable  Securities,  and  the  managing
underwriter(s)  advises the Company that in its opinion the number of securities
requested  to be included in such  registration  exceeds the number which can be
sold in such  offering  without  adversely  affecting the  marketability  of the
offering,  the  Company  will  include  in such  registration:  (a)  first,  the
Registrable Securities and HOVRS Registrable Securities requested to be included
therein by the holders  requesting  registration,  pro rata among the holders of
such  Registrable  Securities  and HOVRS  Registrable  Securities  (based on the
number of shares requested to be registered), (b) second, but only if all of the
Registrable Securities and HOVRS Registrable Securities requested to be included
in such registration are included in such registration,  securities requested by
the  Company to be  included  in such  registration  to the extent the  managing
underwriter(s) advises the Company that such inclusion will not adversely affect
the  marketability  of the  offering,  and  (c)  third,  but  only if all of the
Registrable Securities and HOVRS Registrable Securities requested to be included
in such registration and all securities  requested by the Company to be included
in such  registration  are  included  in  such  registration,  other  securities
requested  to be  included in such  registration,  pro rata among the holders of
such other  securities  permitted  to have  their  securities  included  in such
registration on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder,  to
the extent the managing  underwriter(s)  advises the Company that such inclusion
will not adversely affect the marketability of the offering.

      (b) If a Piggyback  Registration is an underwritten secondary registration
on  behalf  of  holders  of  Company  securities  (other  than  the  holders  of
Registrable Securities or the holders of HOVRS Registrable Securities),  and the
managing  underwriter(s)  advises the Company  that in its opinion the number of
securities  requested  to be  included in such  registration  exceeds the number
which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability
of the offering,  the Company will include in such registration:  (a) first, the
securities   requested  to  be  included  therein  by  the  holders   requesting
registration,  (b) second, but only if all of the securities described in clause
(a) are included in such registration, securities requested by the Company to be
included in such registration, to the extent the managing underwriter(s) advises
the Company that such inclusion will not adversely  affect the  marketability of
the  offering,  and (c) third,  but only if all of the  securities  described in
clauses (a) and (b) are included in such registration,  Registrable  Securities,
HOVRS Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be


                                       5
<PAGE>

included in such  registration,  pro rata among the holders of such  Registrable
Securities,  the holders of such HOVRS Registrable Securities and the holders of
such other  securities  permitted  to have  their  securities  included  in such
registration on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder,  to
the extent the managing  underwriter(s)  advises the Company that such inclusion
will not adversely affect the marketability of the offering.

3. REGISTRATION GENERALLY.

      3.1.  Registration   Procedures.   Whenever  the  holders  of  Registrable
Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant
to this  Agreement,  the  Company  will  use its  best  efforts  to  effect  the
registration and the sale of such Registrable  Securities in accordance with the
intended method of disposition  thereof and pursuant thereto the Company will as
expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

                        (a)  prepare  and  (within  60 days after the end of the
            period within which requests for inclusion in such  registration may
            be given to the  Company)  file  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
            Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable
            Securities  and thereafter use  commercially  reasonable  efforts to
            cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that
            before  filing  a  registration   statement  or  prospectus  or  any
            amendments  or  supplements  thereto,  the Company  will  furnish to
            counsel  selected by the Clearlake  Investors owning the Registrable
            Securities to be included in any Demand  Registration  copies of all
            such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject
            to review by such counsel);

                        (b) prepare and file with the  Securities  and  Exchange
            Commission  such  amendments and  supplements  to such  registration
            statement and the prospectus used in connection  therewith as may be
            necessary (i) to keep such  registration  statement  effective for a
            period (A) of not less than 180 days (subject to extension  pursuant
            to Section 3.3(b)) or, if such registration  statement relates to an
            underwritten  offering,  such  longer  period as in the  opinion  of
            counsel for the  underwriters  a prospectus is required by law to be
            delivered in connection  with sales of Registrable  Securities by an
            underwriter or dealer,  or (B) in the case of a Shelf  Registration,

      to sell or  otherwise  dispose of any  securities  of the Company that are
      substantially  similar to the Common  Stock,  including but not limited to
      any securities  that are  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for, or that
      represent  the right to receive,  Common  Stock or any such  substantially
      similar  securities,  during (a) with  respect  to any other  underwritten
      Demand  Registration or any underwritten  Piggyback  Registration in which
      Registrable  Securities  are  included,  the seven  days  prior to and the
      90-day period  beginning on the effective date of such  registration,  and
      (b) upon notice from any holder(s) of Registrable  Securities subject to a
      Shelf  Registration  that such holder(s)  intend to effect an underwritten
      distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration
      (upon receipt of which, the Company will promptly notify all other holders
      of  Registrable  Securities  of the  date  of  the  commencement  of  such
      distribution),  the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on
      the date of the commencement of such distribution,  in each case except as
      part of such  underwritten  registration or pursuant to  registrations  on
      Form S-4 or Form S-8,  and in each case unless the  underwriters  managing
      the registered public offering otherwise agree.

      3.5. Current Public Information.  At all times after the Company has filed
a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
the  requirements  of either the Securities Act or the Securities  Exchange Act,
the  Company  will use its  commercially  reasonable  efforts to timely file all
reports  required to be filed by it under the  Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange  Act and the  rules  and  regulations  adopted  by the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission thereunder,  and will take such further action as any holder
or holders of Registrable  Securities may reasonably request,  all to the extent
required to enable such holders to sell Registrable  Securities pursuant to Rule
144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange  Commission  under the Securities Act
(as  such  rule  may be  amended  from  time to  time)  or any  similar  rule or
regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

4. REGISTRATION INDEMNIFICATION.

      4.1.  Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold  harmless,  to  the  fullest  extent  permitted  by  law,  each  holder  of
Registrable Securities and, as applicable,  its officers,  directors,  trustees,
employees,  shareholders,  holders of beneficial interests, members, and general
and limited partners (collectively, such holder's "Indemnitees") and each Person
who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities  Act) against any
and all losses, claims,  damages,  liabilities,  joint or several, to which such
holder or any such  Indemnitee  may become  subject  under the  Securities  Act,
equivalent foreign securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages  or  liabilities  (or  actions  or  proceedings,  whether  commenced  or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue or
alleged  untrue  statement  of  material  fact  contained  in  any  registration
statement, prospectus,  preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any
amendment   thereof  or   supplement   thereto,   together  with  any  documents
incorporated  therein by reference or, (b) any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not  misleading,  and the Company will reimburse such holder and each of
its Indemnitees for any legal or any other expenses,  including any amounts paid
in any settlement  effected with the consent of the Company,  which consent will
not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed,  incurred by them in connection  with
investigating  or  defending  any  such  loss,  claim,   liability,   action  or
proceeding;  provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss,  claim,  damage,  liability (or action or
proceeding  in respect  thereof)  or  expense  arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue  statement,  or omission or alleged omission,
made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus
or free writing  prospectus or any amendment or  supplement  thereto,  or in any
application,  in reliance  upon,  and in conformity  with,  written  information
prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder  expressly for use therein.
In connection  with an  underwritten  offering,  the Company will indemnify such
underwriters,  their  officers and  directors  and each Person who controls such
underwriters  (within the meaning of the  Securities  Act) to the same extent as
provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable
Securities.

      4.2.  Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities.  In connection
with any registration  statement in which a holder of Registrable  Securities is
participating,  each such  holder will  furnish to the  Company in writing  such
information  and  affidavits  as the  Company  reasonably  requests  for  use in
connection  with any such  registration  statement,  prospectus  or free writing
prospectus,  and,  to the  extent  permitted  by law,  will  indemnify  and hold
harmless the Company and its Indemnitees against any losses,  claims, damages or
liabilities,  joint or several,  to which the Company or any such Indemnitee may
become subject under the Securities Act,  equivalent  foreign securities laws or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings,  whether commenced or threatened,  in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon (a) any untrue or alleged  untrue  statement of material  fact
contained in the registration statement,  prospectus,  preliminary prospectus or
free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any
application,  together with any documents  incorporated  therein by reference or
(b) any omission or alleged  omission of a material  fact  required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,  but only to
the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue  statement) or omission
(or  alleged  omission)  is  made  in  such  registration  statement,  any  such
prospectus, preliminary prospectus or


                                       13
<PAGE>

free writing  prospectus  or any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto,  or in any
application,  in  reliance  upon  and in  conformity  with  written  information
prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder  expressly for use therein,
and such holder will  reimburse  the  Company and each such  Indemnitee  for any
legal  or any  other  expenses  including  any  amounts  paid in any  settlement
effected with the consent of such holder, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld  or delayed,  incurred  by them in  connection  with  investigating  or
defending  any such loss,  claim,  liability,  action or  proceeding;  provided,
however,  that the obligation to indemnify will be individual (and not joint and
several)  to each  holder  and will be  limited  to the net  amount of  proceeds
received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
registration statement, less any other amounts paid by such holder in respect of
such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission.

      4.3. Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification  hereunder will (a)
give prompt written notice to the  indemnifying  party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks  indemnification  (provided,  however, that the failure of any
indemnified  party to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying  party
of its obligations  hereunder,  except to the extent that the indemnifying party
is actually  prejudiced by such failure to give such notice),  and (b) unless in
such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such
indemnified  and  indemnifying  parties  may exist with  respect to such  claim,
permit such indemnifying  party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably  satisfactory to the  indemnified  party. If such defense is assumed,
the  indemnifying  party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement
made by the indemnified  party without its consent (but such consent will not be
unreasonably  withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to,  assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses  of  more  than  one  counsel  for  all  parties  indemnified  by  such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any  indemnified  party  a  conflict  of  interest  may  exist  between  such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim.

      4.4.  Entry of Judgment;  Settlement.  The  indemnifying  party shall not,
except with the  approval  of each  indemnified  party,  consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each  indemnified  party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or  litigation  without
any payment or consideration provided by such indemnified party.

      4.5. Contribution.  If the indemnification  provided for in this Section 4
is,  other  than  expressly  pursuant  to  its  terms,   unavailable  to  or  is
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under the provisions above in
respect of any losses,  claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then
each  indemnifying  party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (a)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative  benefits  received
by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any
other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand from
the sale of  Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to the  registered  offering  of
securities as to which indemnity is sought or (b) if the allocation  provided by
clause (a) above is not  permitted by applicable  law, in such  proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but
also the  relative  fault of the  Company on the one hand and of the  sellers of
Registrable  Securities and any other sellers  participating in the registration
statement on the other hand in connection  with the statement or omissions which
resulted in such


                                       14
<PAGE>

losses, claims, damages or liabilities,  as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.  The relative  benefits  received by the Company on the one hand
and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in
the  registration  statement on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion  as the  total  net  proceeds  from the  offering  (before  deducting
expenses)  to the  Company  bear to the total  net  proceeds  from the  offering
(before  deducting  expenses) to the sellers of  Registrable  Securities and any
other sellers participating in the registration statement. The relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any
other  sellers  participating  in the  registration  statement on the other hand
shall be determined  by reference to, among other things,  whether the untrue or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company  or  by  the  sellers  of   Registrable   Securities  or  other  sellers
participating  in the registration  statement and the parties'  relative intent,
knowledge,  access to  information  and  opportunity  to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The obligation to provide contribution will be individual
(and not joint and several) to each holder and will be limited to the net amount
of proceeds  received by such  holder  from the sale of  Registrable  Securities
pursuant to such  registration  statement,  less any other  amounts paid by such
holder,  including  pursuant to Section  4.2  hereof,  in respect of such untrue
statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission.

The Company and the sellers of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by
pro rata allocation (even if the sellers of Registrable  Securities were treated
as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation  which does
not take account of the equitable  considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding  paragraph.  The amount paid or payable by an  indemnified  party as a
result  of the  losses,  claims,  damages  and  liabilities  referred  to in the
immediately  preceding  paragraph  shall be deemed to  include,  subject  to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses  reasonably incurred by
such  indemnified  party in connection with  investigating or defending any such
action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no seller of
Registrable  Securities  shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the net proceeds received by such Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities
covered by the  registration  statement  filed pursuant  hereto,  less any other
amounts paid by such holder in respect of such untrue statement,  alleged untrue
statement,  omission  or  alleged  omission.  No  person  guilty  of  fraudulent
misrepresentation  (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the  Securities  Act)
shall be  entitled  to  contribution  from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

      4.6. Other Rights. The  indemnification and contribution by any such party
provided  for under this  Agreement  shall be in addition to any other rights to
indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to
law or  contract  and will  remain in full  force and effect  regardless  of any
investigation  made or omitted by or on behalf of the  indemnified  party or any
officer,  director  or  controlling  Person of such  indemnified  party and will
survive the transfer of securities.

5. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

      5.1. General Transfer  Restrictions.  Each Investor understands and agrees
that  the  Shares  held by such  Investor  on the  date  hereof  have  not  been
registered  under the Securities Act or registered or qualified  under any state
law. No Investors shall Transfer Shares (or solicit any


                                       15
<PAGE>

offers in respect of any Transfer of such Shares), except in compliance with the
Securities  Act,  any  applicable  state law or in  accordance  with  agreements
applicable to such Transfer.

      5.2.  Restrictions  on Transfer.  No Investor  shall  Transfer any of such
Investor's Shares to any other Person except as follows:

            5.2.1. Private Transfers. Any Clearlake Investor may Transfer any or
      all of such  Clearlake  Investor's  Shares  to such  Clearlake  Investor's
      Permitted  Transferees  and  such  transferee  shall  be  deemed  to  be a
      Clearlake  Investor  hereunder and shall  deliver a signature  page hereto
      agreeing  to be bound  hereby,  simultaneously  with the  Transfer of such
      Shares.  Any  transferring  Clearlake  Investor  under this Section  shall
      provide  prompt  written  notice  to the  Company  of any  such  Transfer,
      indicating  its  reliance on this  provision  and the identity and contact
      information of the Permitted Transferee.

            5.2.2. Public Transfers.

                        (a)  Any  Investor  may  Transfer  any or  all  of  such
            Investor's  Shares, to the extent they constitute Common Stock, in a
            Public Offering undertaken in accordance with this Agreement without
            the consent of the Company or the other Investors.

                        (b)  Any  Investor  may  Transfer  any or  all  of  such
            Investor's Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

            5.2.3.  Pledge of Shares.  Any  Investor  may Transfer any or all of
      such  Investor's  Shares to a lender to such  Investor  pursuant to a bona
      fide pledge of all of such Investor's assets.

      5.3. Automatic Conversion Upon Certain Transfers.

            5.3.1.  Transfers by Holders of Series A Preferred  Stock other than
      Clearlake  Investors.  Unless the Company determines otherwise in writing,
      if,  at any  time,  a holder of Series A  Preferred  Stock  (other  than a
      Clearlake  Investor) desires to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any
      of the  shares  of Series A  Preferred  Stock  held by such  holder to any
      Person other than an Affiliate of such holder of Series A Preferred  Stock
      or to a Clearlake Investor,  then such holder agrees to convert,  prior to
      such sale, transfer or disposition, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock
      that are held by such  holder.  If such holder fails to so convert all its
      shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the sale, transfer,  or disposition of
      such  shares  shall  be  prohibited  unless  the  Company  has  determined
      otherwise in writing.

            5.3.2.  Transfers  by  Clearlake  Investors.  Unless the Company and
      HOVRS  Parties  holding  a  majority  of  Common  Stock  then held by them
      determine  otherwise,  if, at any time,  a Clearlake  Investor  desires to
      sell,  transfer  or  otherwise  dispose  of any of the  shares of Series A
      Preferred  Stock held by such Clearlake  Investor to any person other than
      an Affiliate of such  Clearlake  Investor,  then such  Clearlake  Investor
      agrees to convert and each other Investor holding Series A Preferred Stock
      agrees to convert each


                                       16
<PAGE>

      share of Series A Preferred Stock then  outstanding held by all holders of
      Series A Preferred  Stock.  If any Clearlake  Investor fails to so convert
      all its  shares  of  Series A  Preferred  Stock,  the  sale,  transfer  or
      disposition  of such  shares  shall be  prohibited  unless the Company and
      HOVRS  Parties  holding a majority of Common  Stock then held by them have
      determined otherwise in writing.

            5.3.3.  No Additional  Action  Required.  Upon the occurrence of the
      events  specified  Sections  5.3.1 or 5.3.2 hereof,  (x) the  transferring
      Investor or Clearlake Investor shall provide written notice to the Company
      not less than 10 business days in advance of such proposed transfer,  sale
      or disposition of Series A Preferred Stock, (y) the Company shall promptly
      notify (the  "Conversion  Notice") each holder of Series A Preferred Stock
      who is shown to be such a holder  on the  books of the  Company  as of the
      time  immediately  prior to such  conversion of the fact that they are now
      required  to convert  (if so  required),  and (z) all  holders of Series A
      Preferred Stock so converted shall surrender the certificates representing
      such shares at the office of the Company. Thereupon, there shall be issued
      and  delivered  to such holder  promptly at such office and in its name as
      shown on such surrendered  certificate or  certificates,  a certificate or
      certificates  representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which
      the shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the
      date on which such automatic conversion occurred.

      5.4.  Stop  Transfer  Instructions.  In order  to  enforce  the  foregoing
covenants, the Company may (a) impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to
the Shares of each  Investor  and (b) refuse to reflect such  transfer,  sale or
disposition of such Shares on the books of the Company.

6. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

      6.1. Offering.

                        (a) If the  Company  issues or sells or  authorizes  the
            issuance  or sale of any New  Securities  (as defined in Section 6.3
            below)  after  the date  hereof,  the  Company  shall  offer to each
            Clearlake  Investor by written  notice (a  "Subscription  Notice") a
            percentage  of such New  Securities  pro rata based on the  relative
            number of Shares held by such Clearlake  Investor as compared to the
            number of Shares and  then-exercisable  stock  options and  warrants
            outstanding  held by all  holders  of the  Company's  Shares,  stock
            options and warrants. Each such Clearlake Investor shall be entitled
            to purchase such New Securities at the most  favorable  price and on
            the most  favorable  terms as such New  Securities are to be sold or
            issued;  provided that if a Person participating in such purchase of
            New Securities is required in connection  therewith also to purchase
            other securities of the Company,  the Clearlake Investors exercising
            their rights  pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall also be required to
            purchase such other  securities on  substantially  the same economic
            terms  and  conditions  as  those on which  the  offeree  of the New
            Securities  is  required  to purchase  such other  securities.  Each
            Clearlake  Investor  participating  in such  purchase  shall also be
            obligated  to  execute  agreements  in the  form  presented  to such
            Clearlake  Investor by the Company,  so long as such  agreements are
            substantially similar to those to be


                                       17
<PAGE>

            executed by the  purchasers of New Securities  (without  taking into
            consideration  any rights which do not entitle such a purchaser to a
            higher  economic  return  on the New  Securities  than the  economic
            return to which  other  Clearlake  Investors  participating  in such
            transaction  will  be  entitled  with  respect  to New  Securities).
            Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  contained  herein,  the
            Company shall not have any obligation to issue equity  securities or
            to offer to issue any equity  securities under this Section 6 to any
            Clearlake Investor who is not an "accredited  investor" as such term
            is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act.

                        (b) Each Subscription Notice delivered by the Company to
            a Clearlake  Investor in respect of any proposed issuance or sale of
            New Securities  shall describe in reasonable  detail the type, class
            and number of New  Securities  being  offered,  the  purchase  price
            thereof,  the payment  terms  therefor  and the  percentage  thereof
            offered  to such  holder  pursuant  to this  Section  6. In order to
            exercise its purchase rights hereunder in respect of any issuance or
            sale  of  New  Securities  described  in a  Subscription  Notice,  a
            Clearlake  Investor  must deliver to the Company  during the fifteen
            (15) day  period  commencing  upon  such  holder's  receipt  of such
            Subscription   Notice  (the   "Subscription   Period"),   a  written
            commitment describing its election hereunder (an "Election Notice").
            If a Clearlake  Investor fails for any reason to deliver an Election
            Notice to the Company during the Subscription Period with respect to
            a  proposed  issuance  or sale  of New  Securities,  such  Clearlake
            Investor shall be deemed to have waived its rights  pursuant to this
            Section 6 in respect of such issuance or sale of New Securities.

      6.2.  Expiration  of  Subscription  Period.   Within  the  180-day  period
immediately  following the Subscription Period, the Company shall be entitled to
sell,  or enter  into  any  agreement  to sell,  any New  Securities  which  any
Clearlake Investor has not elected to purchase,  on terms and conditions no more
favorable  to the  offeree  of such New  Securities  than  those  offered to the
Clearlake  Investors pursuant to Section 6.1. Any New Securities offered or sold
by the Company  after such 180-day  period must be  reoffered to each  Clearlake
Investor pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.

      6.3. New  Securities.  For purposes  hereof,  "New  Securities"  means any
shares of the Company's Capital Stock, or any options, convertible securities or
other rights to acquire shares of the Company's  Capital  Stock,  other than (a)
the  issuance  and sale of  Series A  Preferred  Stock  in  connection  with the
Clearlake  Stock  Purchase  Agreements,  (b) Common Stock (or options to acquire
Common Stock) issued or issuable to any employee,  director or consultant of the
Company or any of its  subsidiaries  pursuant  to any equity  incentive  plan or
other  arrangement  approved by the Company's  Board,  (c) Common Stock or other
securities  issued  directly  or  indirectly  upon the  conversion,  exchange or
exercise of any securities previously subjected to this Section 6 or outstanding
on the date hereof,  (d) Common Stock or other  securities  issued in connection
with or in furtherance of the acquisition of or investment in another company or
business  (whether  through a purchase of securities,  a merger,  consolidation,
purchase of assets or otherwise), including, without limitation, Common Stock or
other  securities  issued  pursuant to the Merger  Agreement  (as defined in the
Acquisition  Stock  Purchase  Agreement),  (e) Common Stock or other  securities
issued in connection with or in furtherance of the incurrence of any


                                       18
<PAGE>

indebtedness for borrowed money or for equipment lease financings by the Company
or its subsidiaries,  (f) Common Stock or other securities issued or issuable in
a Public  Offering,  (g) Common Stock or other  securities  issued in connection
with  any  stock  split,  dividend,  combination,  recapitalization  or  similar
transaction,  (h) Common Stock issued or issuable  upon the exercise of warrants
or other  securities or rights to persons or entities with which the Company has
or is entering into a technology  or other  strategic  relationship  not for the
purpose of raising  money or  providing  financing,  (i) Common  Stock issued or
issuable  upon  conversion  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock or as  dividends  or
distributions  on the Series A  Preferred  Stock and (j)  Common  Stock or other
securities  issued  directly  or  indirectly  upon the  conversion,  exchange or
exercise of any securities issued pursuant to any of the clauses of this Section
6.3.

7. INFORMATION RIGHTS.

      (a) The books and records of the Company shall be available for inspection
by the Clearlake  Investors at the principal office and place of business of the
Company.  The Clearlake Investors shall have the right to receive,  upon request
therefor,  (a) audited annual consolidated  financial  statements of the Company
promptly  following  such  statements  becoming  available to the  Company,  (b)
unaudited quarterly  consolidated  financial  statements of the Company promptly

      11.3. Amendment and Waiver.

<PAGE>

obligation on the Company  shall also require the consent of the  Company),  (C)
any  Amendment  of  Sections  1, 2 or 3 hereof that would (x) have the effect of
treating the HOVRS Parties in a manner  different  from, and materially  adverse
relative to, the Clearlake  Investors  voting in favor of such  Amendment or (y)
cause this Agreement to conflict with the HOVRS Registration Rights Agreement as
in effect on the date hereof, shall require the consent of the Company,  Persons
holding a majority  of  Clearlake  Investor  Registrable  Securities,  and HOVRS
Parties holding a majority of the Common Stock held by all HOVRS Parties and (D)
any  Amendment of clause (B), (C) or (D) of this Section  11.3(a)  shall require

held by all HOVRS Parties.

      (b) Each such  Amendment  shall be binding upon each party hereto and each
Investor  subject  hereto.  In  addition,  each party  hereto and each  Investor
subject hereto may waive any right hereunder,  as to itself, by an instrument in
writing  signed by such party or  Investor.  The failure of any party to enforce
any  provisions  of this  Agreement  shall in no way be construed as a waiver of
such  provisions  and shall not  affect the right of such  party  thereafter  to
enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

      11.4. Successors and Assigns; Transferees.

      (a) This  Agreement  shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and
be  enforceable  by the  parties  hereto  and their  respective  successors  and
assigns.  Registrable  Securities  shall continue to be  Registrable  Securities
after any Transfer (except if such securities were effectively  registered under
the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the registration statement
covering them,  sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or sold in a block sale to a financial institution in the ordinary course of its
trading business).  Any transferee receiving shares of Registrable Securities in
a Transfer  effected in compliance with the terms of this Agreement shall become
an  Investor  party to this  Agreement  and  shall be  subject  to the terms and
conditions  of, and be entitled to enforce,  this  Agreement to the same extent,
and in the  same  capacity,  as  the  Person  that  Transfers  such  Registrable
Securities to such  transferee;  provided that only a Permitted  Transferee of a
Clearlake  Investor  will be deemed to be a Clearlake  Investor  for purposes of
this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any transferee receiving Registrable
Securities  in a  Transfer  that  is not a  Clearlake  Investor  or a  Permitted
Transferee of a Clearlake Investor or its Affiliates will become a party to this
Agreement  without the benefit of the right to initiate Demand  Registrations or
other rights  afforded to the  Clearlake  Investors  hereunder.  Other than with
respect to a pledge  permitted  pursuant to Section 5.2.3  hereof,  prior to the
Transfer of any  Registrable  Securities to any  transferee,  and as a condition
thereto,  each Investor  effecting such Transfer shall (a) cause such transferee
to deliver to the Company and each of the  Investors its written  agreement,  in
form and


                                       25
<PAGE>

substance  reasonably  satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement to the extent  described in the preceding  sentence
and (b) if such Transfer is to a Permitted  Transferee,  remain  directly liable
for the  performance  by such  Permitted  Transferee of all  obligations of such
transferee under this Agreement.

      (b)  Prior to the  Transfer  by any  HOVRS  Party of any of the  Company's
Capital Stock to any transferee,  and as a condition  thereto,  such HOVRS Party
shall cause such  transferee to deliver to the Company and each of the Investors
its written  agreement,  in form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the
Company, to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same
extent, and in the same capacity, as the HOVRS Party that Transfers such Capital
Stock to such transferee;  provided that this Section 11.4(b) shall not apply to
Transfers  of  Capital  Stock  that (x) are  effectively  registered  under  the
Securities  Act and  disposed of in  accordance  with a  registration  statement
covering such Capital Stock,  or (y) constitute  sales to the public pursuant to
Rule 144 under the  Securities Act or block sales to financial  institutions  in
the ordinary course of their trading business.

      11.5.  Severability.  Whenever possible,  each provision of this Agreement
shall  be  interpreted  in  such  manner  as to be  effective  and  valid  under
applicable  law, but if any  provision of this  Agreement is held to be invalid,
illegal or  unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction,  such invalidity,  illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other  provision or the  effectiveness  or validity of any  provision in any
other jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced
in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,  illegal or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein.

      11.6.   Counterparts.   This   Agreement   may  be  executed  in  separate
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
