                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

       THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made this 21st day of
March, 2000, by Gilat-to-Home Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the
State of Delaware with its principal place of business at 1760 Old Meadow Road,
McLean, VA 22102 ("GTH") and Zur Feldman, residing at 5600 Lions Cross Circle,
Granite Bay, CA 95746 ("Executive").

       WHEREAS, GTH desires to employ the Executive and the Executive desires to
be employed by GTH; and

       WHEREAS, the parties wish to set forth the terms and conditions of that
employment;

       NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties
agree as follows:

1. Term of Employment

       GTH hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment
with GTH, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Unless
terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5, Executive's employment pursuant to
this Agreement shall be for the three (3) year period commencing on February
7, 2000 (the "Commencement Date") and ending on February 28, 2003 (the "Initial
Term") unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.
Effective as of the expiration of the Initial Term and as of any subsequent
expiration date of additional terms, the term of this Agreement shall be
extended for an additional term of at least twenty four (24) months ("Additional
Term") unless, not less than thirty (30) days prior to each such expiration
date, either party hereto shall have given written notice to the other that the
term shall not be so extended. The Initial Term, together with any Additional
Term, shall be referred to herein as the "Employment Period."

2. Title; Duties

       (a) The Executive shall be employed as Co-Chairman and Chief Executive
   Officer of GTH. Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of GTH. The
   Executive shall

<PAGE>   2

   perform such services consistent with his position as may be assigned to him
   from time to time by the Board of Directors and are consistent with the
   bylaws of GTH, including, but not limited to, managing the financial affairs
   of GTH.

       (b) Executive's place of employment shall be McLean, VA, or such other
   location within a 75-mile radius of the address first written above as the
   Board of Directors shall direct; provided, however, that Executive's duties
   may require extensive travel.

3. Extent of Services

       (a) General. Executive agrees not to engage in any business activities
   during the Employment Period except those that are for the sole benefit of
   GTH, and to devote his entire business time, attention, skill and effort to
   the performance of his duties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
   foregoing, Executive may engage in personal investments and charitable,
   professional and civic activities that do not impair the performance of his
   duties to GTH. Executive shall perform his duties to the best of his ability,
   shall adhere to GTH's published policies and procedures, and shall use his
   best efforts to promote GTH's interests, reputation, business and welfare.

       (b) Corporate Opportunities. Executive agrees that he will not take
   personal advantage of any business opportunities which arise during his
   employment with GTH and which may be of benefit to GTH. All material facts
   regarding such opportunities must be promptly reported to the Board of
   Directors for consideration by GTH.

4. Compensation and Benefits

       (a) Salary. GTH shall pay Executive a gross base annual salary ("Base
   Salary") of $250,000. The salary shall be payable in twenty-six (26) equal
   installments (except that the first and last such semi-monthly installments
   may be prorated if necessary) on GTH's regularly scheduled payroll dates,
   minus such deductions as may be required by law or reasonably requested by
   Executive. GTH's Compensation Policy Committee (the "Compensation Committee")
   shall review his Base Salary annually in conjunction with its regular review
   of employee salaries and make such increases, if any, to his Base Salary as
   the Compensation Committee shall deem appropriate, but, the Base Salary will
   not go below $250,000.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

       (b) Sign-On Bonus

       GTH shall pay Executive $500,000 as a sign-on bonus which will be
   processed through payroll, with the appropriate amounts withheld, within the
   first month of employment.

       (c) Performance Bonus Effective on the Commencement Date, the Executive
   shall be eligible to participate in an annual bonus plan and receive a target
   of $150,000 as a performance bonus during the first calendar year of the
   Employment Period. The Performance Bonus will be contingent on meeting
   mutually agreed upon targets. The Performance Bonus amount will be negotiated
   on an annual basis with the target not to be lower than $150,000. Such
   Performance Bonus shall be determined and paid within 45 days after the end
   of each calendar year during the Employment Period.

       (d) Stock Options

               (i) GTH shall grant the Executive stock options to purchase
            2,568,220 shares of common stock of GTH subject to the approval of
            the Stock Option Committee of GTH, at a price to be determined by
            the Stock Option Committee (Not to exceed $2.50 per share), which
            options will vest over a four year period as determined by the Stock
            Option Committee. In addition, in the event of a change in control
            of GTH, as defined in the Executive's Stock Option Agreement, the
            vesting schedule for those unvested options will be accelerated so
            that 100% of all option grants will vest on the effective date of
            the change in control. The change in control provision in the Stock
            Option Agreement will be no less favorable to the Executive than
            such provisions in the agreements of similarly situated executives.
            If this paragraph conflicts with GTH's Stock Option Agreement, this
            paragraph shall control.

       (ii) In addition to the option grant set forth in the preceding section,
            the Company agrees on an annual basis to consider in good faith the
            grant of additional stock options to the Executive.

       (j) Other Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to thirty (30) days paid
   vacation, as well as other paid time off and holiday pay in accordance with
   GTH's policies in effect from time to

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

time and to participate in such life, health, and disability insurance, pension,
deferred compensation and incentive plans, and other benefits as GTH extends, as
a matter of policy, to its executive employees.

       (k) Reimbursement of Business Expenses. GTH shall reimburse Executive for
all reasonable travel, entertainment and other expenses incurred or paid by
Executive in connection with, or related to, the performance of his duties,
responsibilities or services under this Agreement, upon presentation by
Executive of documentation, expense statements, vouchers, and/or such other
supporting information as GTH may reasonably request.

       (l) Commutation Expenses. The Executive shall use best reasonable efforts
to relocate to the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area within twelve
months of the Commencement Date. For the first six months following the
Commencement Date, or a longer period of time if mutually agreed to by the
Company and the Executive (the "Commutation Period"), the Company shall
reimburse the Executive for air or ground travel between Washington, D.C. and
California and related ground transportation costs, not to exceed one round trip
per week, unless mutually agreed to by the Executive and the Company.
Additionally, the Company will reimburse Executive for other, reasonable and
appropriate business related expenses incurred during the Commutation Period
upon presentation by the Executive of documentation, expense statements,
vouchers and/or such other supporting information as the Company may request.

       (m)Relocation Expenses. During the Commutation Period, the Company shall
reimburse the Executive for his reasonable housing expenses in the greater
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The parties contemplate that during the
first few weeks of employment such expenses shall be comprised of hotel charges.
At such time as the Executive identifies a suitable furnished corporate
apartment for lease, the Company shall make the lease payments directly to the
landlord for the remainder of the Commutation Period.

       The Company shall also reimburse the Executive for reasonable expenses
incurred by the Executive in relocating to the greater Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area. The expenses include, but are not limited to car rental fees
during the Commutation Period, costs associated with moving the Executive's
belongings, Realtor commission fees and points associated with

                                      -4-

<PAGE>   5
       selling the Executive's home in California and the closing costs
       Executive may incur in buying a home in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan
       area.

5.     Termination

              (a) Termination by GTH for Cause. GTH may terminate the
       Executive's employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause, upon
       written notice by GTH to the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement,
       "Cause" for termination shall mean any of the following: (i) the
       conviction of the Executive, or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo
       contendere by Executive to, any felony or misdemeanor, excluding minor
       traffic violations; (ii) fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement by
       Executive; (iii) Executive's willful failure or gross negligence in the
       performance of his assigned duties for GTH which failure or negligence
       continues for more than thirty calendar days following the Executive's
       receipt of written notice of such willful failure or gross negligence;
       (iv) the breach by Executive of any material term of this Agreement.

              (b) Termination by GTH or Executive Without Cause. Either party
       may terminate this Agreement at any time without Cause, upon giving the
       other thirty (30) days written notice. At GTH's sole discretion, it may
       substitute thirty (30) days salary in lieu of notice. Any salary paid to
       Executive in lieu of notice shall be offset against any entitlement
       Executive may have to the Severance Payment pursuant to Section 6(b).

              (c) Termination by Executive for Good Reason. Executive may
       terminate his employment under this Agreement at any time for Good
       Reason, upon written notice by Executive to GTH. For purposes of this
       Agreement, "Good Reason" for termination shall mean (i) the assignment to
       Executive of substantial duties or responsibilities inconsistent with
       Executive's position at GTH; (ii) a requirement by GTH that Executive
       work principally from a location outside the 75-mile radius specified in
       Section 2(b); or (iii) GTH's failure to pay Executive any salary or other
       compensation to which he is entitled, other than an inadvertent failure
       which is remedied by GTH within forty-five (45) days after receipt of
       written notice thereof from Executive; or (iv) the breach of GTH of any
       material term of this Agreement.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

              (d) Employee's Death or Disability. Executive's employment shall
       terminate immediately upon his death or, upon written notice as set forth
       below, his Disability. As used in this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean
       the inability of Executive, due to a physical or mental impairment, to
       perform his duties to GTH, which impairment reasonably can be expected to
       cause Executive's continued incapacity to perform his duties for a period
       of ninety (90) consecutive days from the first date of the disability. In
       the event of a dispute as to whether Executive is impaired within the
       meaning of this Section 5(d), or as to the likely duration of any
       incapacity of Executive, either party may request a medical examination
       of Executive by a doctor appointed by the Chief of Staff of a hospital
       selected by mutual agreement of the parties, or as the parties may
       otherwise agree, and the written medical opinion of such doctor shall be
       conclusive and binding upon the parties. The cost of such examination
       shall be borne by GTH.

6.     Effect of Termination

              (a) General. Regardless of the reason for any termination of this
       Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to (i) payment of any unpaid
       portion of his Base Salary through the effective date of termination;
       (ii) reimbursement for any outstanding reasonable business expense he has
       incurred in performing his duties hereunder; (iii) continued insurance
       benefits to the extent required by law; and (iv) payment of any accrued
       but unpaid rights as required by the terms of any bonus or other
       incentive pay or stock plan, or any other employee benefit plan or
       program of GTH.

              (b) Termination by GTH Without Cause or by Executive for Good
       Reason. If GTH terminates Executive's employment without Cause pursuant
       to Section 5(b), or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason
       pursuant to Section 5(c), Executive shall be entitled to receive, upon
       the proper execution of a release, in addition to the items referenced in
       Section 6(a), One Million and Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000)
       (the "Severance Payment"). The Severance Payment shall be subject to all
       legally required payroll deductions and withholdings for sums owed by
       Executive to GTH. In addition, a prorated portion of the performance
       bonus referenced in Section 4(c) shall be paid to the Executive covering
       the period from the beginning of the calendar year up to the date of
       termination. All benefits for which Executive is eligible at the time of
       the termination will continue through the Severance Period. In addition,
       the vesting of options that have already

                                       -6-
<PAGE>   7

       been granted will continue through the Severance Period. The Executive
       shall have one year after the Severance Period to exercise the vested
       options. If this paragraph conflicts with GTH's Stock Option Agreement,
       this paragraph shall control.

              (c) Termination Following Change in Control. If GTH (or its
       successor) terminates Executive's employment without Cause or Executive
       terminates his employment by giving GTH or its successor thirty (30) days
       written notice pursuant to Section 5(b) for any reason following a change
       in control as defined in Executive's Stock Option Agreement, he shall be
       entitled to all items set forth in Section 6(b).

              (d) Termination for Death or Disability. If the Executive's
       employment is terminated due to death or Disability pursuant to Section
       5(d) the Company shall continue to pay to the estate of the Executive or
       the Executive, as the case may be, for a period of 90 days after
       termination of employment due to death or Disability, the Executive's
       base salary as in effect on the date of termination.

              (e) Termination at Expiration of Contract. If not less than thirty
       (30) days prior to expiration date of the Agreement, GTH has not offered
       to renew the Agreement on terms at least equal to those contained herein
       as modified during the Employment Period by mutual agreement of GTH and
       the Executive and for a term of not less than twenty-four (24) months,
       the Executive will be eligible to receive the items referenced in Section
       6(a) and 6(b).

              (f) Survival. The provisions of Sections 4(b), 6(b) and 6(d) shall
       survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement under the
       circumstances specified in those Sections for the periods specified in
       such Sections. Sections 7 and 8 shall survive the termination of this
       Agreement.

7.     Confidentiality & Developments

              (a) Definition of Proprietary Information. Executive acknowledges
       that he may be furnished or may otherwise receive or have access to
       confidential information which relates to GTH's past, present or future
       business activities, strategies, services or products, research and
       development; financial analysis and data; improvements, inventions,
       processes, techniques, designs or other technical data; profit margins
       and other financial information;

                                       -7-
<PAGE>   8

fee arrangements; terms and contents of licenses and other contracts; customer
and vendor lists or other compilations for marketing or development;
confidential personnel and payroll information; or other information regarding
research, development, administrative, management, financial, marketing, or
sales activities of GTH, or of a third party which provided proprietary
information to GTH on a confidential basis. All such information, including any
materials or documents containing such information, shall be considered by GTH
and Executive as proprietary and confidential (the "Proprietary Information").

       (b) Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Proprietary Information
shall not include (i) information disseminated without restriction by GTH to
third parties in the ordinary course of business; or (ii) information in the
public domain not as a result of a breach of any duty by Executive or any other
person.

       (c) Obligations. Both during and after the Employment Period, the
Executive agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of the Proprietary
Information including, but not limited to all physical forms thereof, whether
disclosed to him/her before this Agreement is signed or afterward. In addition,
Executive shall not (i) disclose or disseminate the Proprietary Information to
any third party, including employees of GTH without a legitimate business need
to know; (ii) remove the Proprietary Information from GTH's premises without a
valid business purpose; (iii) use the Proprietary Information for his own
benefit or for the benefit of any third party; or (iv) use the Proprietary
Information for any unlawful purposes.

       (d) Return of Proprietary Information. Executive acknowledges and agrees
that all the Proprietary Information used or generated during the course of
working for GTH is the property of GTH. Executive agrees to deliver to GTH all
documents and other tangibles (including diskettes and other storage media)
containing the Proprietary Information at any time upon request by the Board of
Directors during his employment and immediately upon termination of his
employment.

       (e) The Executive will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of
all inventions, improvements, discoveries, methods, developments, software, and
works of authorship, related to the activities of the Company, whether
patentable or not, which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by
the Executive or under his direction or jointly with others during his
employment by the company, whether or not during normal working hours or on

                                       -8-
<PAGE>   9
   the premises of the Company (all of which are collectively referred to in
   this Agreement as "Developments").

      (f) The Executive agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company
   (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his right, title and
   interest in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent
   applications, copyrights and copyright applications. The Executive also
   acknowledges that all work fixed in a tangible medium of expression shall be
   deemed a work made for hire under the US Copyright Act such that the work is
   owned by the Company at the moment of creation.

      (g) The Executive agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during
   and after his employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement,
   maintenance and enforcement of copyrights and patents (both in the United
   States and foreign countries) relating to Developments. The Executive shall
   sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications,
   patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignment of
   priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company may deem
   necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any
   Development.

      (h) Other Agreements. The Executive hereby represents that his
   performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the
   Company does not and will not breach the terms of any agreement with any
   previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any
   trade secret, confidential or proprietary information, knowledge or data
   acquired by him in confidence or in trust prior to his employment with the
   Company or to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the
   business of such previous employer or any other party.

8. Non-competition

      (a) Restriction on Competition. For twelve (12) months following the
   expiration or termination of Executive's employment by GTH for any reason
   (the "Restricted Period"), Executive agrees not to engage, directly or
   indirectly, as an owner, employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent,
   representative, stockholder, or in any other individual, corporate or
   representative capacity, in any of the following: (i) any corporation or
   other entity involved in providing Internet access services that compete
   directly with GTH, or (ii) any other

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10
   business that GTH conducts as of the date of Executive's termination of
   employment; provided, however, Executive shall not be deemed to have
   violated this Section 8(a) solely by reason of his ownership of five percent
   (5%) or less of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation or
   other entity. GTH agrees to consider in good faith any request by Executive
   that GTH waive Section 8(a) in order to permit the Executive to obtain new
   employment should Executive's employment be terminated by the company, or
   upon expiration of the Agreement, GTH agrees to respond to Executive's
   written request within five (5) business days.

      (b) Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Restricted Period,
   Executive agrees not to solicit, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf
   or on behalf of any other person(s), any customer of GTH to whom GTH had
   provided services at any time during Executive's employment with GTH in any
   line of business that GTH conducts as of the date of Executive's termination
   of employment or that GTH is actively soliciting, for the purpose of
   marketing or providing any service competitive with any service then offered
   by GTH.

      (c) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restricted Period,
   Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, hire or attempt to
   hire or cause any business, other than an affiliate of GTH, to hire any
   person who is then or was at any time during the preceding six (6) months an
   employee of GTH.

      (d) Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that he will acquire much
   Proprietary Information concerning the past, present and future business of
   GTH as the result of his employment, as well as access to the relationships
   between GTH and its clients and employees. Executive further acknowledges
   that the business of GTH is very competitive and that competition by him in
   that business during his employment, or after his employment terminates,
   would severely injure GTH. Executive understands and agrees that the
   restrictions contained in this Section 8 are reasonable and are required for
   GTH's legitimate protection, and do not unduly limit his ability to earn a
   livelihood.

9. Employee Representation

      Executive represents and warrants to GTH that he is not now under any
   obligation of a contractual or other nature to any person, business or other
   entity which is inconsistent or in

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11
   conflict with this Agreement or which would prevent him from performing his
   obligations under this Agreement.

10. Arbitration

      (a) Any disputes between GTH and Executive in any way concerning
   Executive's employment, the termination of his employment, this Agreement or
   its enforcement shall be submitted at the initiative of either party to
   mandatory arbitration in Virginia before a single arbitrator pursuant to the
   Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, or its
   successor, then in effect. The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered
   in writing, shall be final, and may be entered as a judgment in any court in
   the State of Virginia. The parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction
   of the federal and state courts located in Virginia for this purpose. Each
   party shall be responsible for its or his own costs incurred in such
   arbitration and in enforcing any arbitration award, including attorney's
   fees.

      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, GTH, in its sole discretion, may bring
   an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to seek injunctive relief
   and such other relief as GTH shall elect to enforce Executive's covenants in
   Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement.

11. Miscellaneous

      (a) Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall
   be in writing and shall be deemed effective (i) upon personal delivery, (ii)

      (f) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
   inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and
   assigns, including any entity with which or into which GTH may be merged or
   which may succeed to its assets or business or any entity to which GTH may
   assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however,
   that the obligations of Executive are personal and shall not be assigned or
   delegated by him.

      (g) Waiver.  No delays or omission by GTH or Executive in exercising any
   right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other
   right.  A waiver or consent given by GTH or Executive on any one occasion
   shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar
   or waiver of any right on any other occasion.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made this 11th day of
August, 2000, by Gilat-to-Home Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the
State of Delaware with its principal place of business at 1760 Old Meadow Road,
McLean, VA 22102 ("GTH") and David C. Trachtenberg, residing at 146 Post Office
Road, South Salem, NY 10590 ("Executive").

      WHEREAS, GTH desires to employ the Executive and the Executive desires to
be employed by GTH; and

      WHEREAS, the parties wish to set forth the terms and conditions of that
employment;

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties
agree as follows:

1.  Term of Employment

      GTH hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment
with GTH, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Unless
terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5, Executive's employment pursuant to
this Agreement shall be for the three (3)-year period commencing on August 23,
2000 (the "Commencement Date") and ending on August 31, 2003 (the "Initial
Term") unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of Section
5. Effective as of the expiration of the Initial Term and as of any subsequent
expiration date of additional terms, the term of this Agreement shall be
extended for an additional term of at least twenty four (24) months ("Additional
Term") unless, not less than thirty (30) days prior to each such expiration
date, either party hereto shall have given written notice to the other that the
term shall not be so extended. The Initial Term, together with any Additional
Term, shall be referred to herein as the "Employment Period."

2.  Title; Duties

      (a)  The Executive shall be employed as President & Chief Marketing
Officer of GTH. Executive shall report to the co-Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of GTH. The

<PAGE>   2

Executive shall perform such services consistent with his position as may be
assigned to him from time to time by the co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
and are consistent with the bylaws of GTH, including, but not limited to,
managing the financial affairs of GTH.

      (b) Executive's place of employment shall be McLean, VA, or such other
    location within a 75-mile radius of the address first written above as the
    Board of Directors shall direct; provided, however, that Executive's duties
    may require extensive travel.

3.  Extent of Services

      (a) General. Executive agrees not to engage in any business activities
    during the Employment Period except those that are for the sole benefit of
    GTH, and to devote his entire business time, attention, skill and effort to
    the performance of his duties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
    foregoing, Executive may engage in personal investments and charitable,
    professional and civic activities that do not impair the performance of his
    duties to GTH. Executive shall perform his duties to the best of his
    ability, shall adhere to GTH's published policies and procedures, and shall
    use his best efforts to promote GTH's interests, reputation, business and
    welfare.

      (b) Corporate Opportunities. Executive agrees that he will not take
    personal advantage of any business opportunities which arise during his
    employment with GTH and which may be of benefit to GTH. All material facts
    regarding such opportunities must be promptly reported to the Board of
    Directors for consideration by GTH.

4.  Compensation and Benefits

      (a) Salary. GTH shall pay Executive a gross base annual salary ("Base
    Salary") of $200,000. The salary shall be payable in twenty-six (26) equal
    installments (except that the first and last such semi-monthly installments
    may be prorated if necessary) on GTH's regularly scheduled payroll dates,
    minus such deductions as may be required by law or reasonably requested by
    Executive. GTH's Compensation Policy Committee (the "Compensation
    Committee") shall review his Base Salary annually in conjunction with its
    regular review of employee salaries and make such increases, if any, to his
    Base Salary as the Compensation Committee shall deem appropriate, but, the
    Base Salary will not go below $200,000.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

      (b) Sign-On Bonus

      GTH shall pay Executive $100,000 as a sign-on bonus which will be
processed through payroll, with the appropriate amounts withheld, within the
first month of employment. If by December 31, 2001, GTH has not yet completed
its public offering, Executive will receive an additional bonus of $100,000.

      (c) Performance Bonus Effective on the Commencement Date, the Executive
shall be eligible to participate in an annual bonus plan and receive a target of
$150,000 as a performance bonus during the first calendar year of the Employment
Period. The Performance Bonus will be contingent on meeting mutually agreed upon
targets. The first year target of $150,000 will be paid out on a pro-rata basis
depending on the number of months worked during FY 2000. The Performance Bonus
amount will be negotiated on an annual basis with the target not to be lower
than $150,000. Such Performance Bonus shall be determined and paid within 45
days after the end of each calendar year during the Employment Period.

      (d)  Stock Options

                 (i) GTH shall grant the Executive stock options to purchase
               1,500,000 shares of common stock of GTH subject to the approval
               of the Stock Option Committee of GTH, at a price to be determined
               by the Stock Option Committee (Not to exceed $2.50 per share)
               which will vest over a four year period in accordance with the
               Stock Option Plan. In addition, in the event of a change in
               control of GTH, as defined in the Executive's Stock Option
               Agreement, the vesting schedule for those unvested options will
               be accelerated so that 100% of all option grants will vest on the
               effective date of the change in control. The change in control
               provision in the Stock Option Agreement will be no less favorable
               to the Executive than such provisions in the agreements of
               similarly situated executives. If this paragraph conflicts with
               GTH's Stock Option Agreement, this paragraph shall control.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

    (ii)In addition to the option grant set forth in the preceding
        section, the Company agrees on an annual basis to consider
        in good faith the grant of additional stock options to the
        Executive.

    (j) Other Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to thirty (30) days paid
vacation, as well as other paid time off and holiday pay in accordance with
GTH's policies in effect from time to time and to participate in such life,
health, and disability insurance, pension, deferred compensation and incentive
plans, and other benefits as GTH extends, as a matter of policy, to its
executive employees.

   (k) Reimbursement of Business Expenses. GTH shall reimburse Executive for
all reasonable travel, entertainment and other expenses incurred or paid by
Executive in connection with, or related to, the performance of his duties,
responsibilities or services under this Agreement, upon presentation by
Executive of documentation, expense statements, vouchers, and/or such other
supporting information as GTH may reasonably request.

   (1) Commutation Expenses. The Executive shall use best reasonable efforts
to relocate to the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area within six months of
the Commencement Date. For the first six months following the Commencement Date,
or a longer period of time if mutually agreed to by the Company and the
Executive (the "Commutation Period"), the Company shall reimburse the Executive
for air or ground travel between Washington, DC and New York and related ground
transportation costs, not to exceed one round trip per week, unless mutually
agreed to by the Executive and the Company. Additionally, the Company will
reimburse Executive for other, reasonable and appropriate business related
expenses incurred during the Commutation Period upon presentation by the
Executive of documentation, expense statements, vouchers and/or such other
supporting information as the Company may request.

   (m) Relocation Expenses. During the Commutation Period, the Company shall
reimburse the Executive for his reasonable housing expenses in the greater
Washington, DC metropolitan area. The parties contemplate that during the first
few weeks of employment such expenses shall be comprised of hotel charges. At
such time as the Executive identifies a

                                      -4-

<PAGE>   5

       suitable furnished corporate apartment for lease, the Company shall make
       the lease payments directly to the landlord for the remainder of the
       Commutation Period.

              The Company shall also reimburse the Executive for reasonable
       expenses incurred by the Executive in relocating to the greater
       Washington, DC metropolitan area. The expenses include, but are not
       limited to car rental fees during the Commutation Period, costs
       associated with moving the Executive's belongings, Realtor commission
       fees and points associated with selling the Executive's home in the New
       York metropolitan area and the closing costs Executive may incur in
       buying a home in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

5.     Termination

              (a) Termination by GTH for Cause. GTH may terminate the
       Executive's employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause, upon
       written notice by GTH to the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement,
       "Cause" for termination shall mean any of the following: (i) the
       conviction of the Executive, or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo
       contendere by Executive to, any felony or misdemeanor, excluding minor
       traffic violations; (ii) fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement by
       Executive; (iii) Executive's willful failure or gross negligence in the
       performance of his assigned duties for GTH which failure or negligence
       continues for more than thirty calendar days following the Executive's
       receipt of written notice of such willful failure or gross negligence;
       (iv) the breach by Executive of any material term of this Agreement.

              (b) Termination by GTH or Executive Without Cause. Either party
       may terminate this Agreement at any time without Cause, upon giving the
       other thirty (30) days written notice. At GTH's sole discretion, it may
       substitute thirty (30) days salary in lieu of notice. Any salary paid to
       Executive in lieu of notice shall be offset against any entitlement
       Executive may have to the Severance Payment pursuant to Section 6(b).

              (c) Termination by Executive for Good Reason. Executive may
       terminate his employment under this Agreement at any time for Good
       Reason, upon written notice by Executive to GTH. For purposes of this
       Agreement, "Good Reason" for termination shall mean (i) the assignment to
       Executive of substantial duties or responsibilities inconsistent with
       Executive's position at GTH; (ii) a requirement by GTH that Executive
       work principally

                                       -5-

<PAGE>   6

       from a location outside the 75-mile radius specified in Section 2 (b); or
       (iii) GTH's failure to pay Executive any salary or other compensation to
       which he is entitled, other than an inadvertent failure which is remedied
       by GTH within forty-five (45) days after receipt of written notice
       thereof from Executive; or (iv) the breach of GTH of any material term
       of this Agreement.

              (d) Employee's Death or Disability. Executive's employment shall
       terminate immediately upon his death or, upon written notice as set forth
       below, his Disability. As used in this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean
       the inability of Executive, due to a physical or mental impairment, to
       perform his duties to GTH, which impairment reasonably can be expected to
       cause Executive's continued incapacity to perform his duties for a period
       of ninety (90) consecutive days from the first date of the disability. In
       the event of a dispute as to whether Executive is impaired within the
       meaning of this Section 5(d), or as to the likely duration of any
       incapacity of Executive, either party may request a medical examination
       of Executive by a doctor appointed by the Chief of Staff of a hospital
       selected by mutual agreement of the parties, or as the parties may
       otherwise agree, and the written medical opinion of such doctor shall be
       conclusive and binding upon the parties. The cost of such examination
       shall be borne by GTH.

6.     Effect of Termination

              (a) General. Regardless of the reason for any termination of this
       Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to (i) payment of any unpaid
       portion of his Base Salary through the effective date of termination;
       (ii) reimbursement for any outstanding reasonable business expense he has
       incurred in performing his duties hereunder; (iii) continued insurance
       benefits to the extent required by law; and (iv) payment of any accrued
       but unpaid rights as required by the terms of any bonus or other
       incentive pay or stock plan, or any other employee benefit plan or
       program of GTH.

              (b) Termination by GTH Without Cause or by Executive for Good
       Reason. If GTH terminates Executive's employment without Cause pursuant
       to Section 5(b), or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason
       pursuant to Section 5(c), Executive shall be entitled to receive, in
       addition to the items referenced in Section 6(a), an amount equal to his
       Base Salary at the rate in effect on his last day of employment for a
       period equal to the

                                       -6-

<PAGE>   7

       remaining balance of the Initial Term or, if the termination occurs
       during any Additional Term, he shall be entitled to receive an amount
       equal to his Base Salary at the rate in effect on his last day of
       employment for the remaining balance of the Additional Term, but not less
       than 12 months (the "Severance Payment"). The Severance Payment shall be
       paid in approximately equal installments on GTH's regularly scheduled
       payroll dates, subject to all legally required payroll deductions and
       withholdings for sums owed by Executive to GTH. In addition, a prorated
       portion of the performance bonus referenced in Section 4(c) shall be paid
       to the Executive covering the period from the beginning of the calendar
       year up to the date of termination. All benefits for which Executive is
       eligible at the time of the termination will continue through the
       severance period. In addition, the vesting of options that have already
       been granted will continue through the severance period. The Executive
       shall have one year after the severance period to exercise the vested
       options. If this paragraph conflicts with GTH's Stock Option Agreement,
       this paragraph shall control.

              (c) Termination Following Change in Control. If GTH (or its
       successor) terminates Executive's employment without Cause or Executive
       terminates his employment by giving GTH or its successor thirty (30) days
       written notice pursuant to Section 5(b) for any reason following a change
       in control as defined in Executive's Stock Option Agreement, he shall be
       entitled to all items set forth in Section 6(b).

              (d) Termination for Death or Disability. If the Executive's
       employment is terminated due to death or Disability pursuant to Section 5
       (d) the Company shall continue to pay to the estate of the Executive or
       the Executive, as the case may be, for a period of 90 days after
       termination of employment due to death or Disability, the Executive's
       base salary as in effect on the date of termination.

              (e) Termination at Expiration of Contract. If not less than
       thirty (30) days prior to expiration date of the Agreement, GTH has not
       offered to renew the Agreement on terms at least equal to those contained
       herein as modified during the Employment Period by mutual agreement of
       GTH and the Executive and for a term of not less than twenty-four (24)
       months, the Executive will be eligible to receive the items referenced in
       Section 6 (a) and 6 (b).

                                       -7-

<PAGE>   8

              (f) Survival. The provisions of Sections 4(b), 6(b) and 6(d) shall
       survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement under the
       circumstances specified in those Sections for the periods specified in
       such Sections. Sections 7 and 8 shall survive the termination of this
       Agreement.

7.     Confidentiality & Developments

              (a) Definition of Proprietary Information. Executive acknowledges
       that he may be furnished or may otherwise receive or have access to
       confidential information which relates to GTH's past, present or future
       business activities, strategies, services or products, research and
       development; financial analysis and data; improvements, inventions,
       processes, techniques, designs or other technical data; profit margins
       and other financial information; fee arrangements; terms and contents of
       licenses and other contracts; customer and vendor lists or other
       compilations for marketing or development; confidential personnel and
       payroll information; or other information regarding research,
       development, administrative, management, financial, marketing, or sales
       activities of GTH, or of a third party which provided proprietary
       information to GTH on a confidential basis. All such information,
       including any materials or documents containing such information, shall
       be considered by GTH and Executive as proprietary and confidential (the
       "Proprietary Information").

              (b) Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Proprietary
       Information shall not include (i) information disseminated without
       restriction by GTH to third parties in the ordinary course of business;
       or (ii) information in the public domain not as a result of a breach of
       any duty by Executive or any other person.

              (c) Obligations. Both during and after the Employment Period, the
       Executive agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of the
       Proprietary Information including, but not limited to all physical forms
       thereof, whether disclosed to him/her before this Agreement is signed or
       afterward. In addition, Executive shall not (i) disclose or disseminate
       the Proprietary Information to any third party, including employees of
       GTH without a legitimate business need to know; (ii) remove the
       Proprietary Information from GTH's premises without a valid business
       purpose; (iii) use the Proprietary Information for his own benefit or for
       the benefit of any third party; or (iv) use the Proprietary Information
       for any unlawful purposes.

                                       -8-

<PAGE>   9

       (d) Return of Proprietary Information. Executive acknowledges and agrees
   that all the Proprietary Information used or generated during the course of
   working for GTH is the property of GTH. Executive agrees to deliver to GTH
   all documents and other tangibles (including diskettes and other storage
   media) containing the Proprietary Information at any time upon request by the
   Board of Directors during his employment and immediately upon termination of
   his employment.

       (e) The Executive will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of
   all inventions, improvements, discoveries, methods, developments, software,
   and works of authorship, related to the activities of the Company, whether
   patentable or not, which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice
   by the Executive or under his direction or jointly with others during his
   employment by the company, whether or not during normal working hours or on
   the premises of the Company (all of which are collectively referred to in
   this Agreement as "Developments").

       (f) The Executive agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company
   (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his right, title and
   interest in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent
   applications, copyrights and copyright applications. The Executive also
   acknowledges that all work fixed in a tangible medium of expression shall be
   deemed a work made for hire under the US Copyright Act such that the work is
   owned by the Company at the moment of creation.

       (g) The Executive agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during
   and after his employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement,
   maintenance and enforcement of copyrights and patents (both in the United
   States and foreign countries) relating to Developments. The Executive shall
   sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications,
   patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignment of
   priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company may deem necessary
   or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development.

       (h) Other Agreements. The Executive hereby represents that his
   performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the
   Company does not and will not breach the terms of any agreement with any
   previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any
   trade secret, confidential or proprietary information, knowledge or data

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

   acquired by him in confidence or in trust prior to his employment with the
   Company or to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the
   business of such previous employer or any other party.

8. Non-competition

       (a) Restriction on Competition. For twelve (12) months following the
   expiration or termination of Executive's employment by GTH for any reason
   (the "Restricted Period"), Executive agrees not to engage, directly or
   indirectly, as an owner, employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent,
   representative, stockholder, or in any other individual, corporate or
   representative capacity, in any of the following: (i) any corporation or
   other entity involved in providing Internet access services that compete
   directly with GTH, or (ii) any other business that GTH conducts as of the
   date of Executive's termination of employment; provided, however, Executive
   shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 8(a) solely by reason of
   his ownership of five percent (5%) or less of the outstanding stock of any
   publicly traded corporation or other entity. GTH agrees to consider in good
   faith any request by Executive that GTH waive Section 8 (a) in order to
   permit the Executive to obtain new employment should Executive's employment
   be terminated by the company, or upon expiration of the Agreement, GTH agrees
   to respond to Executive's written request within five (5) business days.

      (b) Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Restricted Period,
   Executive agrees not to solicit, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or
   on behalf of any other person(s), any customer of GTH to whom GTH had
   provided services at any time during Executive's employment with GTH in any
   line of business that GTH conducts as of the date of Executive's termination
   of employment or that GTH is actively soliciting, for the purpose of
   marketing or providing any service competitive with any service then offered
   by GTH.

       (c) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restricted Period,
   Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, hire or attempt to
   hire or cause any business, other than an affiliate of GTH, to hire any

       (d) Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that he will acquire much
   Proprietary Information concerning the past, present and future business of
   GTH as the result of his employment, as well as access to the relationships
   between GTH and its clients and employees. Executive further acknowledges
   that the business of GTH is very competitive and that competition by him in
   that business during his employment, or after his employment terminates,
   would severely injure GTH. Executive understands and agrees that the
   restrictions contained in this Section 8 are reasonable and are required for
   GTH's legitimate protection, and do not unduly limit his ability to earn a
   livelihood.

9. Employee Representation

       Executive represents and warrants to GTH that he is not now under any
   obligation of a contractual or other nature to any person, business or other
   entity which is inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement or which
   would prevent him from performing his obligations under this Agreement.

10. Arbitration

       (a) Any disputes between GTH and Executive in any way concerning
   Executive's employment, the termination of his employment, this Agreement or
   its enforcement shall be submitted at the initiative of either party to
   mandatory arbitration in Virginia before a single arbitrator pursuant to the
   Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, or its
   successor, then in effect. The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered
   in writing, shall be final, and may be entered as a judgment in any court in
   the State of Virginia. The parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of
   the federal and state courts located in Virginia for this purpose. Each party
   shall be responsible for its or his own costs incurred in such arbitration
   and in enforcing any arbitration award, including attorney's fees.

       (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, GTH, in its sole discretion, may bring
   an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to seek injunctive relief
   and such other relief as GTH shall elect to enforce Executive's covenants in
   Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement.

inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and
assigns, including any entity with which or into which GTH may be merged or
which may succeed to its assets or business or any entity to which GTH may
assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that
the obligations of Executive are personal and shall not be assigned or delegated
by him.

       (g) Waiver. No delays or omission by GTH or Executive in exercising any
right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right.

effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of
any right on any other occasion.

specified in this Agreement would end on a weekend or holiday, the time period
shall be deemed to end on the next business day.

       (j) Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be held
by a court or arbitrator with jurisdiction over the parties to this Agreement to
be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such provision shall be restated
to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in
accordance with applicable law, and the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

       (k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
day and year first above written.
