1. Common shares of Nortel Networks Corporation ("NNC") delivered to the participant pursuant to Nortel Networks Limited Restricted Stock Unit Plan as amended (the "RSU Plan") in settlement of restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit entitled the holder to receive one NNC common share. The cash equivalent of 45,250 common shares of NNC valued at $4.00 Cdn. (the Canadian dollar equivalent of U.S.$2.89) per share was withheld by Nortel Networks Limited to meet certain tax withholding obligations. The Canadian dollar amount was converted into U.S. dollars using the noon rate of exchange of the Bank of Canada on July 29, 2003.
