covenants contained

                                      -12-

thereafter--for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief only as to the
provisions of Section 8--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

panel or tribunal or court shall have the power to rule or make any award on any
such claim or controversy.

found to exist.

     12.  Waiver.  The waiver by a party hereto of any breach by the other party

                                GoAmerica, Inc.

                                  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 Company or as may be authorized in advance by
appropriate officers of the Company. "Confidential Information" shall include
                                      ------------------------
innovations,

                                     -A1-
<PAGE>

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.

hereunder.

     3.  Compensation.  During the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall
         ------------
receive, for all services rendered to the Company hereunder, the following

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

this Agreement shall cease upon such termination; and

executed and delivered to the Company a release with respect to his employment
hereunder and the termination of such employment.

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 will continue to be bound by all of the
provisions set 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) 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

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

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.  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
thereafter--for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief only as to the
provisions of Section 8--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 9 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.

     11.  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

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

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 the 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.

     12.  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.

     13.  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 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.

     14.  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

person or at such other address with respect to each party as such party shall
notify the other in writing.

                                GoAmerica, Inc.

                                  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 Company or as may be authorized in advance by
appropriate officers of the Company. "Confidential Information" shall include
                                      ------------------------
innovations,

                                     -A1-
<PAGE>

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.

                                     -A2-

<PAGE>

     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.
