102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law enables a corporation in its

law, or from any transaction in which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any

report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

Item 6.
 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subsection
(a) of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
-2-
administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.
Subsection
(b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to
the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but
in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.
Section
145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding
referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith; that the
indemnification provided by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the scope of indemnification
extends to directors, officers, employees or agents of a constituent corporation absorbed
in a consolidation or merger and persons serving in that capacity at the request of the
constituent corporation for another. Section 145 also empowers the corporation to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation
against any liability asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such
capacity or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the corporation would
have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section 145.
Article
IX of our Bylaws specifies that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees and
agents because he or she was or is a director, officer, employee or agent of GoAmerica or
was or is serving at the request of GoAmerica as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another entity to the full extent that such right of indemnity is permitted by the
laws of the State of Delaware. This provision of the Bylaws is deemed to be a contract
between GoAmerica and each director and officer who serves in such capacity at any time
while such provision and the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law
are in effect, and
-3-
any repeal or modification thereof
shall not offset any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or
threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors confirming our indemnification obligations.
Section
102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law enables a corporation in its
certificate of incorporation to limit the personal liability of members of its board of
directors for violation of a director's fiduciary duty of care. This Section does
not, however, limit the liability of a director for breaching his or her duty of loyalty,
failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a
law, or from any transaction in which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
This Section also will have no effect on claims arising under the federal securities
laws. GoAmerica's Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors
as authorized by Section 102(b)(7).
We
have obtained liability insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers which
provides coverage for losses of directors and officers for liabilities arising out of
claims against such persons acting as directors or officers of GoAmerica (or any
subsidiary thereof) due to any breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading
statement, omission or act done by such directors and officers, except as prohibited by
law.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section                            10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
-4-
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events                            arising after
the effective date of the registration                            statement (or the most
recent post-effective                            amendment thereof) which, individually
or in the                            aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                           information set forth in the registration statement;
                           and
(iii)
To include any material information with                            respect to the plan
of distribution not previously                            disclosed in the registration
statement or any                            material change to such information in the
                           registration statement;
provided,  however,  that
 Paragraphs  1(i) and 1(ii) do not  apply if the  registration statement is on Form S-8
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
