                           -------------

         Private Placement.
         -----------------

                  On February 23, 2000, Log On America, Inc. (the "Company")
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), by and among the
Company and the buyers named therein (the "Buyers"). Pursuant to the Agreement,
the Buyers purchased 15,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") and 594,204 common stock purchase
warrants (the "Warrants") for an aggregate consideration of $15 million.

                  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Agreement, the Buyers also are required to buy, and the Company will be required
to sell, 10,000 additional Preferred Shares and related Warrants for an
additional consideration of $10 million. The Buyers also have the option to
purchase up to an aggregate of 10,000 additional Preferred Shares and related
Warrants for consideration of $1,000 per Preferred Share.

                  The offer and sale of the above-mentioned securities is made
pursuant to the exemption from securities registration afforded by Rule 506 of
Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred
Shares are as described in the Company's Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State on February 23, 2000 (the "Certificate of
Designations").

         The Company and the Buyers also entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement, dated February 23, 2000, pursuant to which the Company agreed to
prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the
common stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares and the
exercise of the Warrants.

         Nortel Credit Agreement.
         -----------------------
                  On February 23, 2000, the Company entered into a Credit
Agreement with Nortel Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Nortel"), as
administrative agent and lender, and other lending entities which may become a
party to the Credit Agreement (together with Nortel, the "Lenders").

                  Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have
committed to an initial advance to the Company of up to $30 million and a second
advance of up to an additional $15 million to finance the Company's commitment
to purchase, by December 31, 2001, up to $47 million of equipment and services
from Nortel. The second advance is subject to the completion of an equity
capital contribution of $10 million in excess of the $15 million sale of
Preferred Shares referenced above.

         As collateral for the Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement,
the Company has agreed to grant Nortel, as administrative agent, a security
interest in substantially all of the Company's assets.
