THIS FIRST AMENDING AGREEMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER CONTRACT MANUFACTURING SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Amendment”) is entered into between Nortel Networks Limited, a Canadian corporation with a place of business at 8200 Dixie Road, Suite 100, Brampton, Ontario L6T 5P6 (“NNL”) and Flextronics Telecom Systems, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Mauritius (“FTS”), and shall be effective as of November 1, 2004 (“Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, NNL and FTS (the “Parties”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2004 (the “APA”), whereby NNL agreed to sell and FTS agreed to purchase certain assets for the purpose of transferring, inter alia, the Operations, as that term is defined in the APA, of the Montreal OPTO 1 Facility (as that term is defined in the APA) located in Montreal, Quebec;

AND WHEREAS, the Parties also entered into an Amended and Restated Master Contract Manufacturing Services Agreement dated as of June 29, 2004, (the “MCMSA”) whereby NNL agreed to purchase and FTS agreed to provide, or cause it affiliates to provide, certain manufacturing and design services;

AND WHEREAS, the Parties also agreed that the commencement of those design services related to NNL’s Optical products would be concurrent with the transfer of the Montreal OPTO 1 Facility, which the parties anticipated would take place on November 1, 2004;

AND WHEREAS, the Parties have subsequently agreed that the Montreal OPTO 1 Facility will transfer at a date later than November 1, 2004 while the resources and assets related to the Design Operations (as that term is defined in the APA) will transfer on November 1, 2004, and NNL wishes to purchase design services from FTS or its affiliates as of November 1, 2004; and

AND WHEREAS, NNL and FTS wish to amend the MCMSA to reflect the distinction between the dates of the commencement of the Optical design services and the transfer of the Montreal OPTO 1 Facility, as well as to correct some drafting errors in the MCMSA.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.      Except as expressly defined herein or by reference to definitions in the APA, the words used as defined terms in the First Amending Agreement shall have the same meaning and effect as those set definitions set forth in Exhibit 1 to the MCMSA.
