Corporation's becoming aware of the occurrence of a Change in Control, the
Corporation shall, or shall cause one or more of its affiliated entities to,
contribute to the U.S. Trust an amount in cash equal to the excess of (i) the
estimated maximum liability of Nortel Networks for any and all Entitlements that
would arise if all International Executives experienced a Termination Due to
Change in Control on the earlier of the Specified Executive's Termination Date
or the CIC Date, as calculated by the Auditor, over (ii) the aggregate amount
then held in the U.S. Trust. The U.S. Trust Agreement shall contain procedures
to the following effect:

       (a) In the event of the insolvency of the Corporation or other affiliated
       entity of the Corporation that has established the applicable U.S. Trust
       Agreement (the party that has established such U.S. Trust Agreement, the
       "Grantor"), the trust fund will be available to pay the claims of any
       creditor of the Grantor to which a distribution may be made in accordance
       with the bankruptcy laws of the jurisdiction to which the Grantor is
       subject. The Grantor shall be deemed to be "insolvent" if the Grantor is
       subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the bankruptcy laws of
       such applicable jurisdiction. In the event the Grantor becomes insolvent,
       the Nortel Networks Board shall notify the U.S. Trustee of the event as
       soon as practicable. Upon receipt of such notice, or if the U.S. Trustee
       receives other written allegations of the Grantor`s insolvency, the U.S.
       Trustee shall cease making payments to International Executives from the
       trust fund, shall hold the trust fund for the benefit of the Grantor's
       creditors, and shall take such steps that are necessary to determine
       within thirty (30) days whether the Grantor is insolvent. In the case of
       the U.S. Trustee's actual knowledge of or other determination of the
       Grantor's insolvency, the U.S. Trustee will deliver assets of the trust
       fund to satisfy claims of the Grantor's creditors as directed by a court
       of competent jurisdiction; and

       (b) The U.S. Trustee shall resume payments to the International Executive
       or in the event of the death of the International Executive, his or her
       Designated Beneficiary, as applicable, under the U.S. Trust Agreement
       only after the U.S. Trustee has determined that the Grantor is not
       insolvent (or is no longer insolvent, if the U.S. Trustee had previously
       determined the Grantor to be insolvent) or upon receipt of an order of a
       court of competent jurisdiction requiring such payment. If the U.S.
       Trustee discontinues payment pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a) and
       subsequently resumes such payment, the first payment to be made to each
       International Executive or in the event of the death of the International
       Executive, his or her Designated Beneficiary, as applicable, following
       such discontinuance shall include an aggregate amount equal to the excess
       of (i) the payments which would have been made to such International
       Executive or Designated Beneficiary during any such period of
       discontinuance, plus interest on such amount at a rate equivalent to the
       net rate of return earned by the trust during the period of such
       discontinuance, over (ii) the sum of all payments actually made to such
       International Executive or Designated Beneficiary during such period of
       discontinuance plus interest on such
<PAGE>
                                      -8-

       payments at a rate equivalent to the net rate of return earned by the
       trust during the period of discontinuance.

       Upon the Termination Due to Change in Control of any International
Executive, the Corporation shall and such International Executive shall be
entitled to deliver a notice to the U.S. Trustee stating that such Termination
Due to Change in Control has occurred. Upon receipt of any such notice from the
Corporation and/or an International Executive, the U.S. Trustee shall commence
paying the Entitlements due to such International Executive in accordance with
Section 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 hereof, subject to and in accordance with the U.S.
Trust Agreement, unless the U.S. Trustee shall be directed by an arbitrator duly
appointed pursuant to Article 6 hereof or a court of competent jurisdiction not
to make such payments.

       3.3 Alternative Source of Payments. Notwithstanding Sections 3.1 and 3.2
hereof, effective no later than 30 days prior to the CIC Date and to maximize
the tax benefits available to Nortel Networks in the various jurisdictions in
which Specified Executives reside or are employed, the Corporation may provide
for alternative arrangements pursuant to which the Entitlements hereunder shall
be paid to Specified Executives, provided that any such alternative arrangements
must protect the rights of the affected Specified Executives at least to the
same extent such rights would have been protected had the Entitlements been paid
in accordance with Section 3.1 or 3.2, whichever is applicable.

       4.6 No Mitigation Required - A Specified Executive shall not be required
to mitigate the amount of any Entitlement provided for in this Plan either by
seeking other employment or otherwise. The amount of any Entitlement provided
for herein shall not be reduced by any remuneration that the Specified Executive
may earn from employment with another employer or otherwise following his or her
Termination Date except as specified in Subsection 4.1(g) hereof.

       4.7 Tax Withholding - The Corporation shall withhold or shall cause to be
withheld from amounts payable hereunder any applicable employment or other
withholding taxes required to be withheld under applicable law.

       5. OBLIGATIONS OF SPECIFIED EXECUTIVE

Specified Executive of any Entitlement that the Specified Executive execute, and
deliver to Nortel Networks, a full and final release in the form which the SVP
Human Resources has designated as being acceptable prior to the Change in
Control.

       5.3 Non-Solicitation - If the Specified Executive accepts the
Entitlements pursuant to Article 4 hereof, then for a period of one year after
the Payment Date, the Specified Executive will not, directly or indirectly,
solicit the services of or in any other manner persuade any employee of Nortel
Networks to discontinue his or her employment with Nortel Networks or to
materially alter that relationship in a manner which is adverse to Nortel
Networks.

       5.4 Options - If the Specified Executive accepts the Entitlements
pursuant to Article 4 hereof, then the Specified Executive acknowledges and

Options which become fully exercisable as of the Termination Date until after
the later to occur of the CIC Date or the Termination Date.

       6. ARBITRATION PROVISION

       6.1 Arbitration Requirement - Any disputes arising hereunder between a
Specified Executive and the Corporation, including the interpretation, validity,
enforceability or applicability of the Plan, shall be subject to binding
arbitration under the Arbitration Act (Ontario) or the International Commercial
Arbitration Act (Ontario) depending upon the Specified Executive's office or
home base.

       6.2 Qualification of Arbitrator - Any arbitrator appointed pursuant
hereto shall be a disinterested Person or alternative dispute resolution service
of recognized competence.

       6.3 Appointment of Arbitrator - Each of the Corporation and the Specified
Executive involved in the dispute shall act reasonably to come to agreement as
to the identity of an appropriate arbitrator with respect to the particular
dispute hereunder. If the Corporation and the Specified Executive cannot agree
on the identity of the arbitrator, each of them shall submit to binding
arbitration before a single arbitrator selected from the roster of available
arbitrators selected by CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution, JAMs/Indispute or
the Canadian Foundation for Dispute Resolution (CFDR) depending upon the site
for such arbitration. Arbitrations hereunder shall be governed by the laws of
Ontario. The arbitrator shall not have the right to confer any rights with
respect to the trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information or other
intellectual property rights of Nortel Networks upon the Specified Executive or
any third party and this arbitration provision shall not preclude Nortel
Networks from seeking legal and equitable relief from any court having
jurisdiction with respect to disputes or claims relating to or arising out of
the misuse or misappropriation of Nortel Networks' intellectual property.

       6.4 Determination of Arbitrator - The determination of any arbitrator
appointed in accordance with this Article 6 shall be final and binding on the
Specified Executive and the Corporation.

       6.5 Site of Arbitration - Any arbitration proceedings required to be
conducted pursuant to this Plan shall be conducted in the location agreed to by
the parties, but if the parties cannot agree, in the City of Toronto.

       6.6 Costs and Expenses - Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses
for arbitration or litigation arising out of this Plan, except that the
Corporation will pay or cause to be paid all of the fees and expenses of the
arbitrator. The Specified Executive who institutes the arbitral proceedings
provided hereunder may apply at the conclusion of such proceedings to the
arbitrator for the reimbursement for the legal fees and expenses expended in
connection with the arbitral proceedings and the arbitrator shall have
jurisdiction to determine whether payment of the Specified Executive's legal
fees and expenses are reasonable in the circumstances and the amounts to be
reimbursed by or on behalf of the Corporation.

       7. GENERAL

       7.1 No Obligation to Employ - This Plan does not obligate Nortel Networks
to continue to employ a Specified Executive for any specific period of time, or
in any specific role or geographic location. Subject to the terms of any
applicable written employment agreement between Nortel Networks and a Specified
Executive and applicable law, Nortel Networks may assign that Specified
Executive to other duties, and either Nortel Networks or the Specified Executive
may terminate the Specified Executive's employment at any time for any reason.

       7.2 Governing Law - This Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein
and shall be treated in all respects as an Ontario contract.

       7.3 Severability - If any provision of this Plan is determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such determination shall not impair or affect the validity, legality or
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and each provision is hereby
declared to be separate, severable and distinct.

       7.4 Enurement

              (a) This Plan shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon
              the Specified Executives and their respective heirs, executors,
              administrators and other legal personal representatives and upon
              the Corporation and its successors and assigns.

              (b) This Plan shall enure to the benefit of and shall be binding
              upon and enforceable against the Corporation and any successor
              thereto, including, without limitation, any corporation or
              corporations acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially
              all of the business or assets of the Corporation, whether by
              merger, consolidation, sale or otherwise, but shall not otherwise
              be assignable by the Corporation.

              (c) Without limitation of Subsection 7.4(b) hereof, the
              Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or
              indirect, by merger, consolidation, sale or otherwise) to all or
              substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by
              a written
<PAGE>
                                      -16-

              agreement expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to
              assume and agree to perform the covenants and obligations of the
              Corporation pursuant to the terms of this Plan in the same manner
              and to the same extent as the Corporation would have been required
              to perform if no such succession had taken place, provided
              however, that such agreement shall not be required if the
              successor assumes the obligations of the Corporation hereunder by
              operation of law. Failure of the Corporation to obtain the written
              agreement of a successor required by this Subsection 7.4(c) shall
              be deemed to be a circumstance permitting a Specified Executive to
              terminate his or her employment for Good Reason and, accordingly,
              to be entitled to the Entitlements.

       7.5 Notice - Notices and other communications given or made under the
Plan shall be delivered as follows:

              (a) if to the Corporation, at its principal executive offices, to
              the attention of the SVP Human Resources;

              (b) if to a Specified Executive, to the most recent residential
              address shown for such Specified Executive in the records of
              Nortel Networks;

              (c) if to the Canadian Trustee, at the address provided to the
              Corporation from time to time; and

              (d) if to the U.S. Trustee, at the address provided to the
              Corporation from time to time.

       8. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

              (a) Amendment Prior to Any Proposed CIC - Except as provided in
              Subsection 8(b) hereof, the Corporation may amend this Plan at any
              time, in whole or in part.

              (b) Amendment Prior to Proposed CIC - No amendment of any
              provision of this Plan, the Canadian Trust Agreement, the U.S.
              Trust Agreement and any other trust agreement established in
              accordance with Article 3 hereof made after thirty (30) days prior
              to the earliest of: (1) the date that the Corporation first
              publicly announces it is conducting negotiations leading to a
              transaction that results in a Change in Control; or (2) the date
              that the Corporation enters into a definitive agreement
              documenting a Change in Control (even though still subject to
              approval by the Corporation's shareholders and other conditions
              and contingencies); or (3) the date of the first public
              announcement of a transaction that results in a Change in Control

              negotiations leading to a transaction that results in a Change in
              Control; or (5) the CIC Date; shall be effective unless consented
              to in writing by the Corporation and by any Specified Executive
              affected by such amendment.

              (c) Termination - The Nortel Networks Board may from time to time
              suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding
              the foregoing, the Plan

              negotiations leading to a transaction that results in a Change in
              Control; or (5) the CIC Date, unless such suspension or
              termination is consented to in writing by the Corporation and by
              any Specified Executed affected by such suspension or termination.

                     (ii) following completion of all steps involved in the

                            the Person that ultimately controls the Resulting

              (d) any other event which the Nortel Networks Board determines in
              good faith could reasonably be expected to give rise to a Change

                     Corporation; or
