or indirectly, compete with the Company, anywhere in the world, whether as an
owner, partner, investor, consultant, employee or otherwise. Further, during the

employment for any reason, the Participant will not work for or provide services
to, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or
otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any Material Competitor (as

competition on behalf of the multi-division entity or any competing division or
subsidiary thereof.

2.
Good Will. Any and all good will which the Participant develops during his or
her employment with any of the customers, prospective customers, subcontractors
or suppliers of the Company shall be the sole, exclusive and permanent property
of the Company, and shall continue to be such after termination of the
Participant's employment, howsoever caused.

3.
Non-Solicitation of Customers. During his or her employment and during the
12-month period immediately following the termination of such employment for any
reason, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, encourage
or induce any customer of the Company to terminate or diminish in any
substantial respect its relationship with the Company; or (b) seek to persuade
or induce any such customer or prospective customer of the Company to conduct
with anyone else any substantial business or activity which such customer or
prospective customer conducts or could conduct with the Company; provided that
the restrictions in (a) and (b) shall

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

apply (i) only with respect to those Persons who are or have been a customer of
the Company at any time within the immediately preceding one-year period or
whose business has been solicited on behalf of the Company by any of its
officers, employees or agents within said one-year period, other than by form
letter, blanket mailing or published advertisement, and (ii) only if the
Participant has performed work for such Person during his or her employment with
the Company or has been introduced to, or otherwise had contact with, such
Person as a result of his or her employment or other associations with the
Company or has had access to Confidential Information which would assist in the
solicitation of such Person. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to
general solicitation or advertising, including through media and trade
publications.

4.
Non-Solicitation/Non-Hiring of Employees and Independent Contractors. During his
or her employment and for the 12-month period immediately following the
termination of such employment for any reason, the Participant will not, and
will not assist anyone else to, (a) hire or solicit for hiring any employee of
the Company or seek to persuade or induce any employee of the Company to
discontinue employment with the Company, or (b) hire or engage any independent
contractor providing services to the Company, or solicit, encourage or induce
any independent contractor providing services to the Company to terminate or
diminish in any substantial respect its relationship with the Company. For the
purposes of this Schedule A, an “employee” or “independent contractor” of the
Company is any person who is or was such at any time within the preceding
six-month period. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to general
solicitation or advertising, including through media, trade publications and
general job postings.

5.
Notice of New Address and Employment. During the 12-month period immediately
following the termination of his or her employment for any reason, the
Participant will provide the Company with pertinent information concerning each
new job or other business activity in which the Participant engages or plans to
engage during such 12-month period as the Company may reasonably request in
order to determine the Participant's continued compliance with his or her
obligations under this Schedule A. The Participant shall notify his or her new
employer(s) of the Participant's obligations under this Schedule A, and hereby
consents to notification by the Company to such employer(s) concerning his or
her obligations under this Schedule A. The Company shall treat any such notice
and information as confidential, and will not use or disclose the information
contained therein except to enforce its rights hereunder.

6.
Acknowledgement of Reasonableness; Remedies. In signing the Award Agreement, the
Participant gives the Company assurance that the Participant has carefully read
and considered all the terms and conditions hereof. The Participant acknowledges
without reservation that each of the restraints contained herein is necessary
for the reasonable and proper protection of the good will, Confidential
Information and other legitimate business interests of the Company, that each
and every one of those restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter,
length of time and geographic area; and that these restraints will not prevent
the Participant from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in
which he or she is bound by them. The Participant will never assert, or permit
to be asserted on the Participant's behalf, in any forum, any position contrary
to the foregoing. Were the Participant to breach any of the provisions of this
Schedule A, the harm to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in the
event of such a breach or threatened breach, the Company shall, in addition to
any other remedies available to it, have the right to obtain preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief against any such breach or threatened breach without
having to post bond. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or other
forms of relief available to the Company, in the event of the Participant's
breach of any of the provisions of this Schedule A, the Participant will forfeit
any Award made pursuant to the Avaya

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inc. Executive Committee 2011 - 2013 Performance Recognition Plan, or if an
Award has already been made, the Participant will be obligated to return the
proceeds of such Award to the Company.
   
7.
In the event that any provision of this Schedule A shall be determined by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being
extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range
of activities, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its
enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. The 12-month period of
restriction set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4 hereof shall be tolled, and
shall not run, during any period of time in which the Participant is in
violation of the terms thereof, in order that the Company shall have the
agreed-upon temporal protection recited herein.

8.
Consent to Jurisdiction. In the event of any alleged breach of this Schedule A,
the Participant consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and
state courts in and of the State of New Jersey, and of the federal and state
courts in and of the state in which the Participant is then employed. The
Participant will accept service of process by registered or certified mail or
the equivalent directed to his or her last known address on the books of the
Company, or by whatever other means are permitted by such court.

9.
Limited Exception for Attorneys. Insofar as the restrictions set forth in this
Section 3 prohibit the solicitation, inducement or attempt to hire a licensed
attorney who is employed at the Company, they shall not apply if the Participant
is a licensed attorney and the restrictions contained herein are illegal,
unethical or unenforceable under the laws, rules and regulations of the
jurisdiction in which the Participant is licensed as an attorney.

4.
Intellectual Property

1.
In signing the Award Agreement, the Participant hereby assigns and shall assign
to the Company all of his or her right, title and interest in and to all
inventions, discoveries, improvements, ideas, mask works, computer or other
apparatus programs and related documentation, and other works of authorship
(hereinafter each designated “Intellectual Property”), whether or not
patentable, copyrightable or subject to other forms of protection, made,

necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent, copyright or other form of

Compliance with Other Agreements and Obligations

The Participant represents and warrants that his or her employment by the
Company and execution and performance of the Award Agreement, including this
Schedule A, will not breach or be in conflict with any other agreement to which
the Participant is a party or is bound, and that the Participant is not now

7.
Entire Agreement; Severability; Modification

With respect to the subject matter hereof, this Schedule A sets forth the entire
agreement between the Participant and the Company, and, except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein, supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
communications, agreements and understandings, written or oral, regarding the
same. Provided, however, this Schedule A shall not terminate or supersede any
obligations the Participant may have pursuant to any other agreement or under
applicable law with respect to confidentiality, non-competition,
non-solicitation, assignment of rights to intellectual property or the like. In
the event of conflict between this Schedule A and any prior agreement between
the Participant and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, this
Schedule A shall govern. The provisions of this Schedule A are severable, and no
breach of any provision of this Schedule A by the Company, or any other claimed
breach of contract or violation of law, shall operate to excuse the
Participant's obligation to fulfill the requirements of Sections 2, 3 and 4
hereof. No deletion, addition, marking, notation or other change to the body of
this Schedule A shall be of any force or effect, and this Schedule A shall be
interpreted as if such change had not been made. This Schedule A may not be
modified or amended, and no breach shall be deemed to be waived, unless agreed
to in writing by the Participant and an expressly authorized officer of the
Company. If any provision of this Schedule A should, for any reason, be held
invalid or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect any other
provisions, and shall be construed by limiting it so as to be enforceable to the
maximum extent permissible by law. Provisions of this Schedule A shall survive
any termination if so provided in this Schedule A or if necessary or desirable
to accomplish the purpose of other surviving provisions. It is agreed and
understood that no changes to the nature or scope of the Participant's
employment relationship with the Company shall operate to extinguish the
Participant's obligations hereunder or require that a new agreement concerning
the subject matter of this Schedule A be executed.

8.
Assignment

Neither the Company nor the Participant may make any assignment of this Schedule
A or any interest in it, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior
written consent of the other; provided, however, the Company may assign its
rights and obligations under this Schedule A without the Participant's consent
(a) in the event that the Participant is transferred to a position with one of
the Company's Affiliates or (b) in the event that the Company shall hereafter
effect a reorganization, consolidate with, or merge into any Person or transfer
to any Person all or substantially all of the business, properties or assets of
the Company or any division or line of business of the Company with which the
Participant is at any time associated. This Schedule A

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Participant and the
Company, and each of their respective successors, executors, administrators,
heirs, representatives and permitted assigns.

9.
At-Will Employment

This Schedule A does not in any way obligate the Company to retain the
Participant's services for a fixed period or at a fixed level of compensation;
nor does it in any way restrict the Participant's right or that of the Company
to terminate the Participant's employment at any time, at will, with or without
notice or cause.

10.
Successors

The Participant consents to be bound by the provisions of this Schedule A for
the benefit of the Company, and any successor or permitted assign to whose
employ the Participant may be transferred, without the necessity that a new
agreement concerning the subject matter or this Schedule A be re-signed at the
time of such transfer.

11.

the Participant has read and understood all of its terms; that the Participant
has had a full and reasonable opportunity to consider its terms and to consult
