                                  NOVELIS INC.

                    NOVELIS FOUNDERS PERFORMANCE AWARDS PLAN
                      (Amended and Restated March 14, 2006)

1.   PURPOSES AND INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS.

The purposes of the Novelis Founders Performance Awards (the "Plan") are (i) to
promote alignment of key executives with critical new share price targets for
Novelis, (ii) to provide a one-time additional compensation opportunity for the
key executives who will have the most significant impact on future Novelis share
price, and (iii) to align the financial interests of the key executives with the
shareholders with the intention of ensuring that management wins when
shareholder returns are achieved.

The Plan provides for the award of Performance Share Units ("PSUs") if certain
Novelis share price improvement targets are achieved within the prescribed time
periods. A PSU is equivalent in value to one share of Novelis stock although the
PSU itself is not stock. There will be three equal (in number of PSUs) tranches
of PSUs and each tranche will have a specific share price improvement target.
PSUs for any tranche will be awarded when the share price improvement target for
that tranche is achieved. Any PSUs that are awarded are paid in cash at the time
prescribed by the Plan. The value of the PSUs to be paid will be determined at
the time of the payment and will be subject to the changes in the price of
Novelis shares (up or down) until payment is made.

2.   PARTICIPATION.

The key executives as selected by Novelis Management and approved by the Human
Resources Committee (the "Committee") will participate in the Plan.

3.   NOVELIS SHARE PRICE IMPROVEMENT TARGETS.

For the first tranche of PSUs, the Novelis share price improvement target is
$23.57 which is 8% higher than the initial March 24, 2005 price of $21.82; (i.e.
the closing NYSE price on March 24, 2005). The target applies for the period
March 24, 2005 through March 23, 2008.

For the second tranche of PSUs, the Novelis share price improvement target is
$25.31 which is 16% higher than the initial March 24, 2005 price of $21.82. The
$25.31 target applies for the period March 24, 2006 through March 23, 2008.

For the third tranche of PSUs, the Novelis share price improvement target is
$27.28 which is 25% higher than the initial March 24, 2005 price of $21.82. The
$27.28 target applies for the period March 24, 2007 through March 23, 2008.
