By: /s/ JEFFREY FINN -------------------------------- Name: Jeffrey Finn Title: President EXHIBIT A This is Exhibit A to the Convertible Promissory Note, dated September 25, 2000, in the original principal amount of $250,000, executed and delivered by NAI Direct, Inc. to WorldWide Web NetworX Corporation (the "Note"). ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS 1. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable to the Lender upon the exercise of the Lender's conversion rights, as set forth in Section 6 of the Note, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows: (a) In case New America Network, Inc. (the "Company") shall hereafter (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of common stock ("Common Stock") in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. (b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price (the "Subscription Price") (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Value (as defined hereafter) or less than the Exercise Price on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the lower of (i) the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of additional shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such Current Market Value per share of the Common Stock (as defined hereafter), and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible) or (ii) in the event the Subscription Price is equal to or higher than the Current Market Value but is less than the Exercise Price, the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of additional shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of common stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; and to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered (or securities convertible into Common Stock are not delivered) after the expiration of such rights or warrants the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. (c) In case the Company shall hereafter distribute to the holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions and dividends or distributions referred to in Subsection (a) above) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Subsection (b) above), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock (as defined hereafter), less the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Company's Board of Directors) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Current Market Value per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. (d) In case the Company shall hereafter issue shares of its Common Stock (excluding shares issued (i) in any of the transactions described in Subsection (a) above, (ii) upon exercise of options granted to the Company's officers, directors, employees and consultants (other than Gerald Finn or Jeffrey Finn) under a plan or plans adopted by the Company's Board of Directors and approved by its shareholders, if such shares would otherwise be included in this Subsection (d), (but only to the extent that the aggregate number of shares excluded hereby and issued after the date hereof shall not exceed 10% of the Company's Common Stock outstanding at the time of any issuance), (iii) upon exercise of options, warrants, convertible securities and convertible debentures outstanding as of September 14, 2000, (iv) to shareholders of any corporation which merges into the Company in proportion to their stock holdings of such corporation immediately prior to such merger, upon such merger, (v) issued in a private placement, or upon exercise or conversion of any securities issued in or in connection with such a private placement (including agent, consulting or advisory), where the Offering Price (as defined below) is at least 90% of the Current Market Value, (vi) issued in a bona fide public offering pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting, but only if no adjustment is required pursuant to any other specific subsection of this Section 1 (without regard to Subsection (i) below) with respect to the transaction giving rise to such rights) for a consideration per share (the "Offering Price") less than the Current Market Value, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the lower of (i) the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares and the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (determined as provided in subsection (i) below) for the issuance of such additional shares would purchase at such Current Market Value per share of Common Stock (as defined in subsection (h) below), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares or (ii) in the event the Offering Price is equal to or higher than the Current Market Value per share but less than the Exercise Price, the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares and the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (determined as provided in subsection (g) below) for the issuance of such additional shares would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. (e) In case the Company shall hereafter issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for its Common Stock (excluding securities issued in transactions described in Subsections (b) and (c) above for a consideration per share of Common Stock (the "Exchange Price") initially deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such securities (determined as provided in Subsection (g) below) less than the Current Market Value, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the lower of (i) the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities and the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received for such securities would purchase at such Current Market Value per share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for such securities at the initial conversion or exchange price or rate, or (ii) in the event the Conversion Price is equal to or higher than the Current Market Value per share but less than the Exercise Price, the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities and the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (determined as provided in subsection (g) below) for such securities would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for such securities at the initial conversion or exchange price or rate. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. (f) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to Subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the number of Shares acquired by the exercise of the Lender's conversion rights shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of the conversion rights by the Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted. (g) For purposes of any computation respecting consideration received pursuant to Subsections (d) and (e) above, the following shall apply: (A) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Company for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith; (B) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof), whose determination shall be conclusive; and (C) in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in clauses (A) and (B) of this Subsection (g)). (h) For the purpose of any computation under Subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above and (j) below, the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock at any date shall be determined in the manner set forth in Section 2 hereof except that the Current Market Value per share shall be deemed to be the higher of (i) the average of the prices for 30 consecutive business days before such date or (ii) the price on the business day immediately preceding such date. (i) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five cents ($0.05) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All calculations shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Notwithstanding the provisions contained herein, in the event that the Company shall at any time issue securities that would result in an adjustment under Subsections (b), (d) or (e) having an Offering Price, Subscription Price or Conversion Price less than the Exercise Price (whether initially or due to provisions in such securities requiring price reductions as a result of anti-dilution adjustments, the passage of time, "discount to market" or similar provisions), then the Exercise Price shall be immediately reset to equal such lower Offering Price, Subscription Price or Conversion Price, as applicable, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Lender's conversion rights shall be adjusted accordingly. (k) No adjustment under Subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) shall be required for issuances below the Current Market Value if (A) the Current Market Value is at least 300% of the Exercise Price then in effect and (B) a registration statement covering the Shares is in effect and remains in effect for the 90 days after such issuance or Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") is available for resale of all of the Shares. (l) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than 10 days after any request for such an adjustment by the Lender, cause a notice setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Lender's conversion rights and, if requested, information describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments, and shall cause a certified copy thereof to be mailed to the Lender. The Company may retain a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make any computation required herein, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. 2. For purposes hereof, the Current Market Value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined as follows: If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market System ("NMS"), the Current Market Value shall be the average of the last reported sale prices of the Common Stock on such exchange for the 10 trading days prior to the date of exercise of the Lender's conversion rights; provided that if no such sale is made on a day within such period or no closing sale price is quoted, that day's market value shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or system; or If the Common Stock is listed in the over-the-counter market (other than on NMS) or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the Current Market Value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. for the 10 trading days prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the Current Market Value shall be an amount determined in a reasonable manner by the Board of Directors of the Company.
