    The Plan was originally adopted effective April 27, 2005 and was subsequently amended on (i)
November 6, 2006, effective on December 1, 2006 being the effective date of the consolidation of
all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Nortel based on the consolidation ratio of 1
post-consolidation share for every 10 pre-consolidation shares, (ii) on January 18, 2008 to
reflect amendments necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code and certain other
miscellaneous amendments and (iii) on February 22, 2008 to increase the number of Shares available
for issuance under the Plan, to provide for an extension of Options and SARs for Participants not
subject to Section 409A of the Code in the event they terminate during a Blackout Period and other
amendments desirable to reflect current market practices and clarify or correct certain provisions,
effective immediately, other than those amendments which are subject to shareholder approval. 23
