WHEREAS the Employer and the Employee have entered into an Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement dated as of April 17th, 2001 (the “Original Agreement”), and,

WHEREAS, the Employer and Employee now wish to amend the Original Agreement as of the effective
date thereof;

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the sum of five dollars ($5.00) and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and agreed, the parties
hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1. Paragraph 4 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subparagraph 4(b)(ii)
(which, for greater certainty, read: “ii. the consummation by Mitel of an initial public offering
of its securities;”).

2. Paragraph 6 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subparagraphs
6(a)(ii) and 6(a)(iii) and substituting the following subparagraphs 6(a)(ii) and 6(a)(iii).

	 	ii.	 	Without Cause. This agreement and the employment of
the Employee hereunder
may be terminated at any time by the Employer giving to the Employee the following (inclusive of
any statutory notice or statutory severance entitlements the Employee may have under the Ontario’s
Employment Standards Act, 2000, S.O. 2000, c. 41 as amended):

	 	(1)	 	The Employee will receive a termination payment (the “Severance Payment”) equal to the
greater of: (A) twenty-four (24) months’ compensation calculated in accordance with
subparagraph (a)(ii)(3) below; or, (B) the minimum notice and minimum severance (if any) to which
the Employee is then entitled in accordance with the minimum requirements of Ontario’s Employment
Standards Act, 2000, S.O. 2000, c. 41 as amended. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the
Severance Payment will be deemed to be a retiring allowance.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Subject to the provisions of subparagraph 7(h), the Severance Payment will be paid by the
Employer in a series of equal installments according to the Employer’s regular payroll schedule,
over a period of twenty-four (24) months commencing with the first payroll after the date
designated by the Employer as the date of termination in written termination notice delivered to
the Employee (the “Designated Termination Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject always to
the provisions of

 

- 2 -

	 	 	 	subparagraph 7(h), the Employer may in its absolute discretion elect to pay all or any part of the
Severance Payment in one or more lump sum amounts, in which case the amount of any further monthly
installments will be adjusted accordingly.
	 
	 	(3)	 	For the purposes of subparagraph (a)(ii)(1), a month’s compensation will be equal to: (A) the
Employee’s then current monthly base salary, plus (B) monthly bonus equal to 1/36th of the total of
all bonuses paid to the Employee during the three (3) most recently completed fiscal years. If the
Employee has completed less than three (3) years of service with the Employer, then monthly bonus
will instead be calculated based on the total bonus paid to the Employee prior to the Designated
Termination Date, divided by the number of months of service completed as of the Designated
Termination Date.
	 
	 	(4)	 	The Employee shall also be entitled to participate in all employee benefit programs and receive
all benefits and perquisites of employment described in subparagraph 3(d) above during such
twenty-four (24) month period to the extent that the Employer can continue such benefits, failing
which the Employee’s Severance Payment will be grossed up by the premium cost to the Employer of
any benefits which cannot be so continued.
	 
	 	(5)	 	Upon any termination under this subparagraph (a)(ii), any stock options granted to the Employee
hereunder that are fully vested as of the Designated Termination Date shall remain exercisable for
the lesser of (i) the balance of such options’ term, or (ii) twenty-four (24) months from the
Designated Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the stock option plan or
in any grant of options, any stock options that have not vested as of the Designated Termination
Date shall continue to vest and remain exercisable until the lesser of (i) the balance of such
options’ term, or (ii) twenty-four (24) months from the Designated Termination Date. In no event
shall any stock options continue to vest after the expiry of such twenty-four (24) month period.

	 	iii.	 	The Employee acknowledges that the foregoing provisions are in satisfaction of
and substitution for any and all statutory and common law rights, including without limitation, any
right to reasonable notice of termination of employment with the Employer.

3. Paragraph 6 of the Original Agreement is hereby further amended by adding the
following subparagraph 6(e):

amended.

partnership, firm, association, syndicate, company or other entity, either as an individual or as a
partner or joint venturer or as an employee, principal, consultant, agent, lender, shareholder
(other than a passive holding of shares listed on a recognized North American stock exchange that
does not exceed two percent of the outstanding shares so listed), officer, director, or as a
salesman, or in any other manner, whatsoever, directly or indirectly:

	 	(i)	 	attempt to obtain the withdrawal from the Employer or any of its affiliates of any of their
respective employees, contractors or consultants (provided, however, that any general public
recruitment responded to by such employees, contractors or consultants will not breach this
subparagraph 7(e)(i);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	approach, solicit or attempt to solicit any customer/client or potential customer/client,
wherever situated, of the Employer or any of its affiliates, with whom the Employee had dealings on
behalf of the Employer within the twelve (12) months prior to the cessation of the Employee’s
employment with the Employer, in order to attempt to direct any such customer/client or potential
customer/client away from the Employer or any of its affiliates;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	be concerned with, engaged by, interested in, advise, lend money to, guarantee the debts or
obligations of, or permit the Employee’s name or any part thereof to be used or employed in any
business which is the same as or directly competitive with the business of the Employer or any of
its affiliates;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	divert, attempt to divert, derive a benefit from or otherwise profit from any maturing
business opportunities in North America which to the knowledge of the Employee were pursued or
advanced by or to the Employer or any of its affiliates at any time within the twelve (12) months
prior to the cessation of the Employee’s employment with the Employer.

	 	f.	 	For the purposes of this paragraph 7, the Restricted Period means:

	 	(i)	 	twenty-four (24) months from the Designated Termination Date, where the
Employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated under subparagraph

	 	(ii)	 	twelve (12) months, where the Employee’s employment with the Employer
ceases for any other reason whatsoever.

	 	g.	 	For the purposes of this paragraph 7, a business which is the same as or directly
competitive with the business of the Employer or any affiliate means any business which
engages in or proposes to engage in:

	 	(i)	 	the same core business as that which is carried on by the Employer or by such
affiliate; or,
	 
	 	(ii)	 	that business which is the subject of the Employer’s or such affiliate’s actual or
demonstrably anticipated research and development;

	 	 	 	at any time during the 12 months prior to the cessation of the Employee’s employment with the
Employer. The board of directors may in its absolute discretion from time to time designate any
partnership, firm, association, syndicate, company or other entity as a directly competitive
business for purposes of this paragraph 7, upon providing written notice of such designation to the
Employee.
	 
	 	h.	 	In the event that the Employee breaches any of the Employee’s ongoing obligations
under this paragraph 7, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the stock option plan or

Payment referenced in subparagraph 6(a)(ii)(1).
	 
	 	i.	 	Each subparagraph or sub-subparagraph of this paragraph 7 shall be (and shall be
construed as) a separate and distinct covenant, independent of and severable from all other
subparagraphs or sub-subparagraphs of this paragraph 7.
	 
	 	j.	 	The provisions of this paragraph 7 shall survive the cessation for any reason
whatsoever
of the employment relationship between the Employer and the Employee and shall be enforceable not
withstanding the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Employee against the Employer
whether predicated upon this agreement or otherwise. Any such claim or cause of action will not
constitute a defense to any injunction action, application or motion brought against the Employee
by the Employer for purposes of enforcing the provisions of this paragraph 7.

4. Paragraph 8 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by the addition of the
following sentence:

The Employee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives all of the Employee’s moral

	1.1	 	I agree to devote my full time and attention and to use my best efforts to perform the duties
associated with my position, including the duty to create and invent
(“Work”). I agree not to work
for or provide any services to a third party (other than as required by my position) without the
prior written consent of Mitel.
	 
	2.0	 	OWNERSHIP OF INVENTIONS
	 
	2.1	 	Every tangible and intangible property, including without limitation, inventions and
discoveries, (whether patentable or not), work of authorship (including software code), technology
and know-how and any improvement and revision to any of the foregoing (collectively “Inventions”)
made or created by me, either alone or in collaboration with others, during the period of my
employment with Mitel, and all intellectual and industrial property rights (“IPRs”) arising with
respect to any of the above will be the exclusive property of Mitel, and I will have no rights in
any such invention. I agree to hold all Inventions in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Mitel
and hereby agree to assign all my rights and interests in the Inventions, including the IPRs made
or created by me to Mitel and its nominees and to promptly disclose in writing to my manager or to
any person specifically designated by Mitel from time to time complete information concerning all
Inventions made or created by me. I agree that this obligation survives the termination of my
employment with respect to any Invention made or created by me during my employment with Mitel.
	 
	2.2	 	I acknowledge that I am being permitted by Mitel to use its premises, facilities, equipment and
tools, supplies and other resources to do my Work which may involve making or creating various
Inventions and that I am receiving Mitel’s assistance in performing my Work.
	 
	2.3	 	 I agree that I may perform my Work at home or at other than Mitel locations during as well as
outside regular Mitel business hours. I agree that the Work so performed will be considered part of
and within the scope of my regular Work for Mitel.
	 
	3.0	 	AGREEMENT TO ASSIST

vest in it or them title to all IPRs arising with respect to all such Inventions in all countries
by executing all necessary or desirable documents, including applications for patents, copyrights,
topography rights and assignments thereof. I will also co-operate with Mitel and its nominees in
the prosecution or defense of any claims, lawsuits or other proceedings arising in connection with
any such Inventions, without charge to Mitel, but at its expense and
request.
	 
	3.2	 	I hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive all my moral rights under applicable
legislation arising in connection with all Inventions.
	 
	4.0	 	RECORDS
	 
	4.1	 	I will keep and maintain adequate and current records of all Inventions made or created by
me and agree that these records will be and remain the property of and available to Mitel at all
times. I agree that on termination for whatever reason of my employment with Mitel, I will (1)
promptly hand over to Mitel’s designated representative all such records, and all copies of such
records, in a tangible form such as notes, sketches, drawings, tables, lists, correspondence,
computer diskettes, engineering books provided by Mitel, and other written, printed or photographed
material in my possession, power or control relating to such Inventions and will not retain any
such records; and (2) permanently delete all such records residing on any computer or computer
program in my possession or under my control.

otherwise acquire trade secrets (as defined by applicable law) and confidential information whether
in written, graphic or oral form. Confidential information is data and information relating to the
business of Mitel (whether constituting a trade secret or not) which is or has been disclosed to me
or of which I became aware through my employment with Mitel, and which has value to Mitel and is
not generally known to Mitel’s competitors. Confidential information does not include any data or
information that has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by Mitel (except where such public
disclosure has been made by me without authorization) or that has been independently developed and
disclosed by others, or that otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means. During my
employment, I will only use trade secrets and confidential information to perform my job duties,
and I will only disclose trade secrets or confidential information when I have been authorized by
Mitel to do so. I will not use, disclose or reveal trade secrets at any time after my employment
ends. I will not use or disclose confidential information for a period of three (3) years after my employment with
Mitel ends. I also recognize that during the period of my employment with Mitel, I may receive,
develop or otherwise acquire confidential information of third parties. I will not use or disclose
confidential information of a third party for a period of three (3) years after my employment with

computers, communications systems (voice, data, and video), databases or files, and I agree not to
make any unauthorized use of such computers, communications systems, databases or files or the
information they contain. I agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to such use.

	7.1	 	I agree that while I am an employee of Mitel, and for twelve (12) months thereafter:
	 
	(a)	 	I will not directly or indirectly, either for my own benefit or for the benefit of any
person, firm or corporation, solicit any of Mitel’s employees to induce them to leave their
employment with Mitel. This restriction is limited to employees of Mitel with whom I had contact
for the purpose of performing my job duties at Mitel;

providing services or products that compete with those offered by Mitel. This restriction is
limited to customers with whom I had contact while performing my job duties. This restriction is
further limited to customers with whom I had contact during the last twenty-four (24) months of my
employment.
	 
	8.0	 	REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS
	 
	8.1	 	I have carefully read and considered the provisions of this Agreement and, having done so,

I provided services to or performed work of any kind for Mitel or for the benefit of Mitel. The
rights and obligations of the parties arising under this Agreement are ongoing and will survive the

binding upon my heirs, executors and administrators.
	 
	11.0	 	US EMPLOYEES ONLY

GLOBAL MITEL EMPLOYEE AGREEMENT

In consideration of my employment with Mitel Networks Corporation (“MNC”), Mitel Networks,
Inc., Mitel Networks Limited., or any affiliates or subsidiaries of MNC (“Mitel”), the salary and
wages and salary increase(s) paid to me in connection with my
employment, the access provided to me
to proprietary information of Mitel, its suppliers and customers and other good and valuable
consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, I agree as follows:

	1.0	 	BEST EFFORTS
	 
	1.1	 	I agree to devote my full time and attention and to use my best efforts to perform the
duties associated with my position, including the duty to create and invent (“Work”). I agree not
to work for or provide any services to a third party (other than as required by my position)
without the prior written consent of Mitel.
	 
	2.0	 	OWNERSHIP OF INVENTIONS
	 
	2.1	 	Every tangible and intangible property, including without limitation, inventions and
discoveries, (whether patentable or not), work of authorship (including software code), technology
and know-how and any improvement and revision to any of the foregoing (collectively “Inventions”)
made or created by me, either alone or in collaboration with others, during the period of my
employment with Mitel, and all intellectual and industrial property rights (“IPRs”) arising with
respect to any of the above will be the exclusive property of Mitel, and I will have no rights in
any such Invention. I agree to hold all Inventions in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of
Mitel and hereby agree to assign all my rights and interests in the Inventions, including the IPRs
made or created by me to Mitel and its nominees and to promptly disclose in writing to my manager
or to any person specifically designated by Mitel from time to time complete information concerning
all Inventions made or created by me. I agree that this obligation survives the termination of my
employment with respect to any Invention made or created by me during my employment with Mitel.
	 
	2.2	 	I acknowledge that I am being permitted by Mitel to use its premises, facilities, equipment
and tools, supplies and other resources to do my Work which may involve making or creating various
Inventions and that I am receiving Mitel’s assistance in
performing my Work.
	 
	2.3	 	I agree that I may perform my Work at home or at other than
Mitel locations during as well as outside regular Mitel business hours. I agree that the Work so
performed will be considered part of and within the scope of my regular Work for Mitel.
	 
	3.0	 	AGREEMENT TO ASSIST
	 
	3.1	 	I will, during and after the period of my employment with Mitel, without charge to Mitel,
but at its request and expense, assist Mitel and its nominees in every reasonable way to obtain and
vest in it or them title to all IPRs arising with respect to all such Inventions in all countries
by executing all necessary or desirable documents, including applications for patents, copyrights,
topography rights and assignments thereof. I will also co-operate with Mitel and its nominees in
the prosecution or defense of any claims, lawsuits or other proceedings arising in connection with
any such Inventions, without charge to Mitel, but at its expense and
request.
	 
	3.2	 	I hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive all my moral rights under applicable
legislation arising in connection with all Inventions.
	 
	4.0	 	RECORDS
	 
	4.1	 	I will keep and maintain adequate and current records of all Inventions made or created by
me and agree that these records will be and remain the property of and available to Mitel at all
times. I agree that on termination for whatever reason of my employment with Mitel, I will (1)
promptly hand over to Mitel’s designated representative all such records, and all copies of such
records, in a tangible form such as notes, sketches, drawings, tables, lists, correspondence,
computer diskettes, engineering books provided by Mitel, and other written, printed or photographed
material in my possession, power or control relating to such Inventions and will not retain any
such records; and (2) permanently delete all such records residing on any computer or computer
program in my possession or under my control.
	 
	5.0	 	TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIALITY
	 
	5.1	 	I recognize that during the period of my employment with Mitel, I will receive, develop or
otherwise acquire trade secrets (as defined by applicable law) and confidential information whether
in written, graphic or oral form. Confidential information is data and information relating to the
business of Mitel (whether constituting a trade secret or not) which is or has been disclosed to me
or of which I became aware through my employment with Mitel, and which has value to Mitel and is
not generally known to Mitel’s competitors. Confidential information does not include any data or
information that has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by Mitel (except where such public
disclosure has been made by me without authorization) or that has been independently developed and
disclosed by others, or that otherwise enters the public domain
through lawful means. During my
employment, I will only use trade secrets and confidential information to perform my job duties,
and I will only disclose trade secrets or confidential information when I have been authorized by
Mitel to do so. I will not use, disclose or reveal trade secrets at any time after my employment
ends. I will not use or disclose confidential information for a period of three (3) years after my employment with
Mitel ends. I also recognize that during the period of my employment with Mitel, I may receive,
develop or otherwise acquire confidential information of third
parties. I will not use or disclose
confidential information of a third party for a period of three (3) years after my employment with
Mitel ends.
	 
	6.0	 	USE OF MITEL COMPUTERS AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
	 
	6.1	 	I agree to adhere to all Mitel policies and guidelines regarding the use of Mitel’s
computers, communications systems (voice, data, and video), databases or files, and I agree not to
make any unauthorized use of such computers, communications systems, databases or files or the
information they contain. I agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to such use.
	 
	7.0	 	AGREEMENT NOT TO SOLICIT
	 
	7.1	 	I agree that while I am an employee of Mitel, and for twelve (12) months thereafter:
	 
	(a)	 	I will not directly or indirectly, either for my own benefit or for the benefit of any
person, firm or corporation, solicit any of Mitel’s employees to induce them to leave their
employment with Mitel. This restriction is limited to employees of
Mitel with whom I had contact
for the purpose of performing my job duties at Mitel;
	 
	(b)	 	I will not directly or indirectly solicit any Mitel customer for the purpose of offering or
providing services or products that compete with those offered by Mitel. This restriction is
limited to customers with whom I had contact while performing my job duties. This restriction is
further limited to customers with whom I had contact during the last twenty-four (24) months of my
employment.
	 
	8.0	 	REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS
	 
	8.1	 	I have carefully read and considered the provisions of this Agreement and, having done so,
agree that the restrictions set forth herein are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required
for the protection of the interests of Mitel, its officers, directors, shareholders and other
employees.
	 
	9.0	 	TERM
	 
	9.1	 	This Agreement will be effective upon the commencement of my
employment with Mitel. I
agree that the term of employment is deemed to include any period of time prior to my execution of
this Agreement and/or prior to the formal execution of any employment agreement relating to the
employment, during which period of time and in connection with or contemplation of such employment,
I provided services to or performed work of any kind for Mitel or for
the benefit of Mitel. The
rights and obligations of the parties arising under this Agreement are ongoing and will survive the
termination for whatever reason of my employment with Mitel, and may be enforced by Mitel in a
court of competent jurisdiction.
	 
	10.0	 	SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, ETC.
	 
	10.1	 	This Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Mitel and be
binding upon my heirs, executors and administrators.
	 
	11.0	 	US EMPLOYEES ONLY
	 
	11.1	 	I acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a
contract of employment or changing the “at will” relationship between Mitel and any of its
employees in the United States
	 
	12.0	 	GOVERNING LAW & SEVERABILITY
	 
	12.1	 	I acknowledge and agree that the courts of the state of New York in the United States shall
have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising under this Agreement for all Mitel employees
in the United States, the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters
arising under this Agreement for all employees in the United Kingdom, and the courts of the
province of Ontario, Canada shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising under this
Agreement for all other Mitel employees. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the applicable jurisdiction as described above. If any provision of
this Agreement, or any part thereof, shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision,
or part thereof, shall be severable and of no force and effect without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if same had not
been a part hereof.
