ImportantNot very
important

The primary use of freshwater in our direct operations is in our office buildings for sanitation, heating and cooling, and in our data centers. The primary indirect use of
freshwater is for product manufacturing, which is outsourced to suppliers around the world. The rating of “important” was selected for direct use because water is needed
to provide adequate heating and cooling in our facilities, and for cooling. We selected "not very important" for indirect because water is not a key component ofoperations. It is used in processes and cleaning in manufacturing, but large amounts and high quality are not required. We do not expect our future water dependency tochange significantly for direct or indirect use, but we do aim to implement water efficiencies and decrease our consumption where possible.

important

Avaya considers recycled and brackish water not very important for both direct and indirect uses. This type of water is not a key component of direct or indirect operations.
Avaya considers the use of recycled water important for water conservation and sustainability. A majority of Avaya’s real estate portfolio is leased space. Due to thenature and scope of our water use, there are limited opportunities within our operational control to utilize recycled water, but we do look for these opportunities whenevaluating leases for new facilities. Water is not needed in large quantities in our supply chain, and our suppliers are not dependent on high quality water or water in large
volumes. Our suppliers are not in high water use sectors (such as beverage, painting, etc.) We do not expect our future water dependency to change significantly for direct
or indirect use, but we do aim to implement water efficiencies and decrease our consumption where possible.

(W3.3b) Describe your organization’s process for identifying, assessing, and responding to water-related risks within your direct operations and other stages ofyour value chain.
Application of enterprise risk assessment: Avaya uses an integrated, cross functional and company-wide risk management process to evaluate climate change risks andopportunities – including water-related risks, such as extreme weather events – on an annual basis. Avaya Corporate Responsibility/EHS works directly with the business
continuity and real estate team to evaluate, assess, and mitigate risks that impact our facilities around the world. The risk assessment is then reviewed and approved by theVice President & Deputy General Counsel.

The scope of the risk management process includes, but is not limited to, the following: upcoming regulations in the countries where we operate and sell products, customer
behavior changes and expectations, reputational risks for not taking action on environmental issues, and weather-related changes. Risks are assessed in the short (0-3years), medium (3-10 years), and long-term horizons (10-30 years). Risks and opportunities are assessed at a company level, regional level and at an asset level.
Additionally, with facilities across the globe, climate change risks and opportunities are assessed in terms of where our facilities are located and how our global operations
could be impacted by severe weather such as flooding.

Application of the Water Risk Atlas: Water risks are also assessed using the WRI Aqueduct tool, which includes projected changes in water stress in regions around theworld from now to the year 2040. Sites identified as having high or very high water stress are prioritized for water efficiency projects. The outcome of this risk assessment also
informs siting decisions.

The contextual issues selected in 3.3a are included because they are all relevant to the continued operation of our business: We rely on water to be available for heating andcooling, and for potable office use; we must keep apprised of water regulations to ensure we comply with all applicable laws and regulations; if there is stakeholder conflict ina water basin that we rely on, we will do our part to help find a solution; we are committed to providing access to WASH services to all employees globally.

The stakeholders selected in 3.3a are included because they are all relevant to the continued operation of our business: Our employees are critical to our efforts to be anenvironmentally responsible neighbor; we are committed to being a good neighbor in the communities where we live and work; we work with regulators to ensure we comply
with all relevant laws and regulations and, when appropriate, provide comments on proposed rules and policies; and we work with our water utilities to ensure our watersupply is adequate and to meet their requirements for water conservation.

W4. Risks and opportunities

W4.1(W4.1) Have you identified any inherent water-related risks with the potential to have a substantive financial or strategic impact on your business?
No

W4.1a

CDP

Page 7 of 13

(W4.1a) How does your organization define substantive financial or strategic impact on your business?
Avaya considers a risk to be substantive if it has the potential to have a material compliance/regulatory, financial, operational, reputational, or customer service impact. To
determine whether an identified risk or opportunity is considered substantive, we compare its impact to Avaya’s annual revenue and other related thresholds, which include:
severity of legal and compliance ramifications (e.g. fines, penalties, lawsuits); length, extent, and degree of media coverage, the impact on our ability to successfully deliverproducts and services to our customers; the amount of time needed to recover from reputational harm; and impact on earnings. The impacts of risks and opportunities are
rated on a scale of “low”, “medium”, and “high” based on established criteria, and the highest valued impact is the one that drives the overall impact rating.

Examples of low impacts include a financial impact of less than $1 million, or a minimal operational impact that does not affect other processes or facilities. Examples of
medium impacts include negative, but limited media attention or an event that affects customer confidence. Example of high impacts include severe regulatory sanctions,
negative attention that reaches a wide geographic area or extends internationally, or loss of current or future business. Based on this assessment, we map high priority risks
and opportunities, determine ownership, and work collaboratively to develop mitigation strategies and monitoring.

An example of a substantive impact is service interruptions or delays caused by extreme weather events. To provide service to our customers, we utilize data center hosting
facilities located in the United States and Europe, as well as in our Asia Pacific, Central America and Latin America regions. We also use facilities provided by Google,
Amazon and Microsoft as we migrate to cloud solutions. We do not control the operation of these facilities, and they are vulnerable to service interruptions or damage fromfloods, earthquakes, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. They may also be subject to acts of vandalism or terrorism, sabotage, similar
misconduct and/or human error. Moreover, if any of these data centers and networks cease operations, we would need to migrate our solutions and our customers to otherproviders. The occurrence of these or other unanticipated problems at these facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in the ability to use our solutions efficiently or at all,which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

For purpose of CDP reporting, our internal threshold for a substantive financial impact is 1% of revenue, or approximately $30 million.
A strategic impact may be less than this amount if 1) it is related to growing a part of the business (e.g., increasing revenues from a product or suite of products), or 2)
represents a significant cost savings.

W4.2b(W4.2b) Why does your organization not consider itself exposed to water risks in its direct operations with the potential to have a substantive financial or
strategic impact?
Primary reason
Row Risks exist, but no1
substantive impact
anticipatedPlease explain
Water-related risks are considered in Avaya's risk assessment process but were judged to not have a material impact on our business. The Avaya real estate portfolio is leased space
and we do not do any manufacturing; this dynamic limits our operational control and ability to make decisions regarding water use. Additionally, Avaya does not depend on high quality
water and does not require large volumes of water for its operations.

Water-related risks are considered in Avaya's risk assessment process but were judged to not have a material impact on our business. The Avaya real estate portfolio is leased space and we
do not do any manufacturing. Water is also not judged to have a material impact in our value chain. Our suppliers use water to make products, but our industry is not a heavy water user anddoes not depend on high quality water (like the cement or beverage industries). Therefore, we do not consider ourselves to be exposed to water risks in the supply chain that could have asubstantive financial or strategic impact.

CDP

Please explain
Avaya assesses its water risks and opportunities as part of its company-wide annual risk assessment. Although there are opportunities for water efficiency/reduction in our facilities,
our water costs are minimal relative to our total operating costs, so any potential savings were not found to be substantive. This is because Avaya’s facilities do not require significant
amounts of water to operate and our products do not require any water to operate. However, Avaya is committed to improving our environmental performance. We will repeat ourassessment of risks and opportunities next year. Additionally, our products and services are not dependent on water and therefore, our revenue streams are not impacted by waterrelated opportunities.

Comment
We have not completed scenario analysis as it has not been identified as a priority in our risk management process. This is in part because we are not in a water intensive sector
with substantial fixed assets where the risks are more clearly potentially material. However, we anticipate completing scenario analysis as part of a climate and water risk
assessment within the next 2 years.

Does your company use an internal price on water?
No, and we do not anticipate doing so within the next two years
Please explain
Avaya’s facilities do not require significant amounts of water to operate and we outsource our product manufacturing. Because our water costs are minimal relative to our
total operating costs, Avaya is not using an internal price on water at this time.
