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

 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
SHARE AND ASSET SALE AGREEMENT
     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE SHARE AND ASSET SALE AGREEMENT (this
“Amendment”) dated December 29, 2006, is entered by and between Alcatel Lucent,
a société anonyme organized under the laws of France, registered with the Paris
Registry of Companies under number B 542 019 096, with offices 54 rue la Boétie,
75008 Paris (the “Purchaser”), and Nortel Networks Limited, a corporation
organized under the laws of Canada, with offices at 195 The West Mall,
T05-04-005, Toronto, Ontario M9C 5K1, Canada (the “Seller”).
     WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have entered into a Share and Asset Sale
Agreement dated as of December 4, 2006, (the “Share and Asset Sale Agreement”).
     WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller desire to enter into this Amendment to amend
certain provisions of the Share and Asset Sale Agreement in accordance with the
terms set forth herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and
conditions herein contained, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Share and Asset Sale Agreement.
ARTICLE 2
FRENCH ACQUISITION STRUCTURE
2.1 Contribution Agreement
The parties agree that Contribution Agreement is the Convention d’Apport en
Nature entered into between NN SA and Diselec on December 22, 2006. The
Contribution Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Share and Asset Sale
Agreement as amended hereby; in case of inconsistency between the terms of the
Contribution Agreement and the Share and Asset Sale Agreement, the provisions of
the Share and Asset Sale Agreement shall prevail.
2.2 Certain Employee Liabilities
The parties agree that the price for the sale of the Shares shall amount to USD
63,690,336. Such price shall be reduced by the amount of the liabilities set
forth in Exhibit 4 of the Contribution Agreement relating to the employees
transferred to Diselec, as such amount shall be determined and paid pursuant to
the provisions of clause 4 of Part 2 of Schedule 7 to the Share and Asset Sale
Agreement. All other employee liabilities relating to said employees accrued up
to the Effective Time shall be governed by paragraph 1 of Part 2 of Schedule 7
to the Share and Asset Sale Agreement.
2.3 Diselec Employment Liabilities Costs
Seller and Purchaser agree that if NN SA books and deducts for tax purposes in
its December 31, 2006 accounts a reserve corresponding to the employment related
liabilities referred to in the second sentence of Section 2.2 above and if the
deduction of such reserve is denied by the tax authorities, Purchaser shall pay
to NN SA an amount equal to 80% of any interest and penalties paid to the tax
authorities by NN SA as a result of such denial and any corresponding reasonable
attorney’s fees.

2

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

 

2.4 Shares Adjustment Price
Article 2.1 of the Contribution Agreement provides that in the event the net
book value of the Contribution as determined as of the Closing Date falls short
of 921,076 Euros, the Seller shall cause NN SA to pay to Diselec a cash
complementary contribution in the same amount (the “Cash Complement”). In the
event such Cash Complement is paid, the price of the Shares shall be increased
in the same amount and such amount to be immediately paid by Alcatel CIT to NN
SA.
Accordingly, Seller and Purchaser agree to modify Article 2.2.3 of the Sale and
Asset Share Purchase Agreement to provide that the Purchase Price shall be, as
the case may be, increased by the amount of the Cash Complement.
2.5 French Acquisition Structure costs
Purchaser agrees to pay to the Seller on the Closing Date an amount of USD
125,000 as a reimbursement of certain costs associated with the French
Acquisition Structure, which amount comes in full settlement as to any costs
that the Designated Sellers may have incurred in relation therewith and which
the Designated Sellers may wish to claim from the Designated Purchasers.
ARTICLE 3
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
Seller and Purchaser agree to modify Article 5.11(3) of the Sale and Asset Sale
Agreement in the following manner:
     “(3) mainly relating to the Business or, if for equipment used to provide
Administrative Services either (a) exclusively used by the Business or
(b) mainly used by the Business if (i) determined by the Steering Committee
acting reasonably and in good faith by majority vote provided such asset is
required for the operation of the Business by the Purchaser and (ii) is not or
will not be used by a Designated Seller to provide any of the services under the
Transition Services Agreement.”
ARTICLE 4
REIMBURSEMENTS
Seller shall be entitled to invoice Purchaser post Closing Date and Purchaser
shall pay Seller for a) any services rendered by Seller to Purchaser in
connection with work performed by Seller under the IUB Cooperation Agreement to
the extent the Seller would have a contractual right to such payment under the
said agreement, and b) work performed by Seller at the request of Purchaser
under the Sales Support Agreement and the Customer Reseller Agreement (and more
specifically in connection with sales support and support for the trial for SFR
and Telecom Italia), each of which were signed prior to the execution of the
Share and Asset Sale Agreement, to the extent the Seller would have a
contractual right to such payment under the said agreements. Purchaser and
Seller shall discuss in good faith justified compensation for any other services
performed by Seller at the written request of Purchaser prior to the Closing
Date, provided it can be demonstrated that these services were not in
furtherance of the Share and Asset Sale Agreement and its Ancillary Agreements.

3

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

 

ARTICLE 5
PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION
Seller and Purchaser agree that the allocation of the Purchase Price (net of the
adjustments provided under Section 2.2.3 of the Sale and Asset Sale Agreement)
is set forth in Exhibit 5 hereto.
The Seller and the Purchaser shall cause Designated Sellers and Designated
Purchasers to enter, as necessary, into amendments to the Local Asset Sale
Agreements to reflect the above mentioned allocation of the Purchase Price.
ARTICLE 6
CUSTOMER CREDIT NOTES
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1.4 of the Agreement, to the extent
any Seller liability under a credit note is transferred by any Designated Seller
to a Designated Purchaser, either through a Local Asset Agreement, the
assignment of a Seller Contract or in any other manner, the Seller shall, or
shall cause the relevant Designated Seller, to indemnify the relevant Designated
Purchaser within 30 days of the Designated Purchaser having applied such credit
note against any amount invoiced by such Designated Purchaser to the relevant
customer to the extent it is contractually required to apply such credit note.
As of Closing, the customer credit notes estimated amount is the following:

  •   Partner: 441,000.00$     •   Orange: 4,500,000.00$     •   Vodafone:
3,500,000.00$

To the Knowledge of Seller, there are no other credit notes that could be
transferred to the Designated Purchasers.
To the extent such outstanding credit notes are linked to pre-Closing purchase
orders and that all or part of these purchase orders are to be invoiced by and
paid to a Designated Purchaser post-Closing, notwithstanding that these
obligations are pre-Closing liabilities (since linked to past purchase orders)
and are therefore Excluded Liabilities according to the Share and Asset Sale
Agreement, the relevant Designated Purchaser will assume a pro-rata share of
such credit notes based on the pro-rata of purchase orders such Designated
Purchaser will have invoiced post-Closing.
ARTICLE 7

and Asset Sale agreement have not been satisfied, Seller and Purchaser hereby

party shall make reasonable efforts post Closing to complete them.

has been transferred.

ARTICLE 1 — ACHAT ET VENTE DES ACTIONS
Le Cédant cède, sous les garanties ordinaires de fait et de droit, au
Cessionnaire, qui accepte, les Actions, libres de tous privilèges, sûretés,
charges ou autres restrictions ou limitations de quelque nature que ce soit,
ainsi que tous les droits qui y sont attachés.
Le prix des Actions (ci-après dénommé le « Prix ») est déterminé et payé
conformément aux dispositions du Share and Asset Sale Agreement tel que modifié.
ARTICLE 2 — AJUSTEMENT DU PRIX

2.1   Ajustement de l’Actif Net

Le Cédant s’est porté garant auprès de Diselec de la valeur au 31 décembre 2006,
de l’actif net apporté par le Cédant selon les termes d’un traité d’apport en
date du 22 décembre 2006 conclu entre le Cédant et la Société (« l’Actif Net »).
Dans le cas où, la valeur nette totale de l’Actif Net au 31 décembre 2006
calculée sur la base des valeurs nettes comptables serait inférieure à 921.076
euros, le Cédant versera à Diselec une somme en espèces destinée à compenser
cette perte de valeur (le « Montant Complémentaire »). Les Parties conviennent
que dans un tel cas le Prix sera augmenté du Montant Complémentaire ; cette
augmentation de prix sera payable sans délai.

2.2   Ajustement lié aux Passifs Sociaux

Les Parties conviennent que le Prix sera réduit du montant des passifs sociaux
appréciés au 31 décembre 2006, figurant en Annexe 4 du Traité d’apport en nature
conclu entre NN SA et Diselec le 22 décembre 2006, relatifs aux employés
transférés par le Cédant à Diselec, tels que ces passifs seront déterminés selon
les modalités prévues par le Schedule 7 — Employment Provisions du Share and
Asset Sale Agreement ; cette réduction de prix sera remboursable sans délai.
ARTICLE 3 — PROPRIETE — JOUISSANCE
La cession des Actions prend effet après enregistrement de l’ordre de mouvement
des Actions dans le registre de la Société. A compter de cette inscription, le
Cessionnaire est propriétaire desdites Actions, en perçoit les revenus et
bénéficie de tous les droits qui y sont attachés.
Le Cédant remet ce jour au Cessionnaire, qui le reconnaît, l’ordre de mouvement
portant sur les Actions dûment complété et signé.
