TRANSFER OF INDEPENDENT ANCILLARY RIGHTS   To the extent that the Independent Ancillary Rights which have been granted in   respect of certain Receivables do not transfer to the Administrative Agent, the   Administrative Agent may request at any time and at its sole discretion the   assignment and/or transfer (as the case may be) of such Independent Ancillary Rights.   4. SECURITY PURPOSE OF ASSIGNMENT   4.1 The Assignment is constituted in order to secure the prompt and complete satisfaction   of any and all Secured Obligations.   4.2 The Assignment shall also cover any additional Secured Obligations created in the   future, including those resulting from additional facilities under any Loan Document   or future extensions or increases of existing facilities, and any other increase in   principal or any increase in interest, including by means of amendment, restatement or   novation of, or supplement to, any Loan Document.   5.

If for any reason whatsoever the relevant   Receivables or Insurances are not, or are incompletely, contained in such list, the   assignment of the Receivables shall not be affected thereby.   5.4 If any Assignor employs a third party for its bookkeeping and/or data-processing upon   the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, each Assignor hereby   irrevocably authorises the Administrative Agent to obtain any information about and   relating to the Receivables directly from such third party at the relevant Assignor's   costs and expenses.   6. NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT   6.1 Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Assignor shall promptly   notify by registered mail (Einschreiben mit Rückschein) the relevant debtors and the   insurers of the assignment of the Intra-Group Receivables and the Insurance   Receivables constituted hereunder in the form set out in Schedule 4 (Form of Notice   for a Disclosed Assignment), but not later than within 5 (five) Business Days after the   date hereof or, with respect to Intra-Group Receivables and the Insurance Receivables   arising from future Intra-Group Agreements or future insurance agreements within 5   (five) Business Days after the date of entry into such agreement.

Each Assignor shall provide evidence to the   Administrative Agent of any such acknowledgement received during any calendar   quarter within 10 (ten) Business Days after the end thereof.    

 

7   AVAYA Global Assignment Agreement (#283646FRA)   6.3 Each Assignor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent 5 (five) undated notification   letters in the form of Schedule 5 (Form of Blank Notification Letter), each executed in   blank within 5 (five) Business Days after the date hereof. Each Assignor authorises   the Administrative Agent to copy and date such blank notification letters following   the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing.   6.4 Without prejudice to the obligations imposed on the Assignors in this Clause 6, each   Assignor hereby authorises the Administrative Agent and releases it for this purpose   from the restrictions imposed by § 181 BGB to notify each debtor and insurer on its   behalf of this Agreement and the assignment of the Intra-Group Receivables and the   Insurance Receivables in such form as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate.   7. RECEIVABLES UNDER EXTENDED RETENTION OF TITLE   ARRANGEMENTS   7.1 If Receivables are assigned pursuant to this Agreement which are subject to extended   retention of title arrangements (verlängerter Eigentumsvorbehalt), the assignment   shall only become effective upon the termination (Erlöschen) of such extended   retention of title arrangement. As long as any person is only partly entitled to the   Receivables as a result of such person's retention of title arrangement, the assignment   of such Receivables to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be limited to the part   of the relevant Receivables to which the relevant Assignor is entitled. The remaining   part of the relevant Receivables will be assigned to the Administrative Agent at such   time as that part is no longer affected by any extended retention of title arrangement.   7.2 Each Assignor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent its right to reassignment of   Receivables assigned to a person by reason of an extended retention of title   arrangement as well as any contingent claims to the transfer of all proceeds paid to   such person, together with all rights pertaining thereto. The same applies to any   possible inchoate right (Anwartschaftsrecht) with respect to the assignment of any   Receivables which are subject to a dissolving condition (auflösende Bedingung). The   Administrative Agent hereby accepts such assignments.   7.3 The Administrative Agent may at any time after an Event of Default which is   continuing terminate any retention of title arrangement on behalf of the relevant   Assignor by discharging the respective liability of the relevant Assignor towards the   relevant supplier. Each Assignor will reimburse the Administrative Agent for any   costs and expenses so incurred in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit   Agreement.   8. CHECKS AND BILLS OF EXCHANGE   8.1 If payments in respect of the Receivables are made by check or bill of exchange, the   ownership in the documents shall pass to the Administrative Agent upon any Assignor   acquiring such ownership, and the relevant Assignor hereby assigns its present and   future rights arising therefrom as security for the Secured Obligations to the   Administrative Agent. Each Assignor will hold any checks and bills of exchange in   gratuitous custody (unentgeltliche Verwahrung) for the Administrative Agent or, if   the relevant Assignor does not obtain actual possession of such documents, each   Assignor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of its present and future    

 

8   AVAYA Global Assignment Agreement (#283646FRA)   claims for delivery thereof against third parties as security for the Secured Obligations.   The Administrative Agent accepts such transfers and/or assignments.   8.2 Following an Event of Default which is continuing, each Assignor shall endorse any   such cheques and bills of exchange and shall promptly deliver them to the   Administrative Agent.   9. COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES BY THE ASSIGNORS   Each Assignor is hereby authorised by the Administrative Agent to collect the   Receivables (ermächtigt zur Einziehung) in its own name and for its own account and   to exercise any rights and claims in relation to the Receivables (the "Authorisation").   In doing so, each Assignor shall act with the care of a prudent businessman (Sorgfalt   eines ordentlichen Kaufmanns). The Administrative Agent may revoke the   Authorisation at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is   continuing.   10. REPRESENTATIONS   Each Assignor hereby guarantees (garantiert) to the Administrative Agent by way of   an independent guarantee (selbstständiges Garantieversprechen) pursuant to § 311   para. 1 BGB that the following statements are accurate and complete in all material   respects as at the date hereof:   10.1 at the date hereof each Assignor is (i) validly existing and (ii) neither unable to pay its   debts as and when they fall due (zahlungsunfähig), over-indebted (überschuldet) nor   subject to imminent illiquidity (drohende Zahlungsunfähigkeit) (all within the   meaning of §§ 17 to 19, inclusive, of the German Insolvency Act (Insolvenzordnung))   or any similar situation under any applicable law or subject to any insolvency   proceedings (Insolvenzverfahren) or similar proceedings under any applicable law;   10.2 to the best of its knowledge: except for extended retention of title arrangements   (verlängerter Eigentumsvorbehalt) the Receivables are assignable (abtretbar), can be   freely assigned by the relevant Assignor and are not in any way encumbered or   subject to any rights of third parties, or if the assignment of Receivables is restricted (i)   the respective debtor has consented to the assignment (which has to be proven by the   relevant Assignor to the Administrative Agent upon reasonable request) or (ii)   pursuant to § 354a HGB, the exclusion or limitation of such assignment does not   affect the validity of Assignment;   10.3 to the best of its knowledge, the existing Trade Receivables listed in Schedule 1 (List   of Trade Receivables) and originating from contracts with its German customers are   governed by German law;   10.4 the termination right (Kündigungsrecht) regarding any Current Account Arrangement   has neither been waived nor in any way restricted;   10.5 to the best of its knowledge: except for extended retention of title arrangements   (verlängerter Eigentumsvorbehalt) each Assignor is the sole unrestricted owner of the   Receivables and no other person is entitled to any Collateral as joint creditor   (Gesamtgläubiger) or co-creditor (Mitgläubiger).    

 

9   AVAYA Global Assignment Agreement (#283646FRA)   10.6 the information contained in Schedule 1 (List of Trade Receivables) to Schedule 3   (Existing Intra-Group Receivables) is accurate and complete in all material respects.   10.7 it has the corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and all   necessary authorisations to entitle the relevant Assignor to enter into this Agreement   have been obtained and are in full force and effect;   10.8 the Administrative Agent will have as security for any and all Secured Obligations, a   validly perfected first-priority security interest (subject to any Permitted Lien) in the   Receivables of the relevant Assignor; and   10.9 the Assignment created under this Agreement is enforceable without enforceable   judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel).   11. UNDERTAKINGS   During the term of this Agreement, each Assignor undertakes to the Administrative   Agent:   11.1 unless otherwise explicitly permitted under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement   or with the Administrative Agent's prior written consent, not to sell, transfer assign or   otherwise dispose of any of the Receivables;   11.2 not to encumber, permit to subsist, create or agree to create any other security interest   or third party right in or over the Receivables except as set out in this Agreement or as   explicitly permitted by the Credit Agreement;   11.3 to the extent required by the other Loan Documents: to ensure that any payment in   respect of any Receivable is made into a bank account which has been pledged in   favour of the Administrative Agent;   11.4 to refrain from any acts or omissions, the purpose or effect of which is or would be   the Receivables ceasing to be assignable or subjecting any Receivables to any law   other than German law;   11.5 not to take or participate in any action which would for any other reason defeat,   impair or circumvent the rights of the Pledgees, except in each case as otherwise   permitted hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;   11.6 at its own expense, if requested by the Administrative Agent, to defend its title or   interest in the Receivables, and the security interest of the Administrative Agent   created hereunder and the priority thereof, in each case against any and all liens   (including Pfändungen but other than liens permitted pursuant to the Credit   Agreement), however arising, of all Persons whomsoever;   11.7 to conduct all legal actions and to take all actions, at its own costs and expenses, that   the Administrative Agent reasonably requests for the creation, perfection,   maintenance, protection, continuance or enforcement of the security interests and any   of the rights purported to be created hereunder.    

 

10   AVAYA Global Assignment Agreement (#283646FRA)   12. ENFORCEMENT   At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the   Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (i) revoke the Authorisation, (ii) terminate   (kündigen) any Current Account Arrangements, (iii) notify the debtors of any   Receivables (for the avoidance of doubt, such restriction does not apply to a notice to   be given to debtors of Insurance Receivables and Intra-Group Receivables which can   be notified prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default), (iv) enforce its rights under   this Agreement, and (v) arrange for the collection of the Receivables for and on behalf   of the Secured Parties to the extent necessary to satisfy any outstanding Secured   Obligations.   12.1 Except, for the avoidance of doubt, with regard to the disclosure of any Assignment   with regard to Insurance Receivables and Intra-Group Receivables, the Administrative   Agent will notify the relevant Assignor at least 5 (five) Business Days prior to the   enforcement of the assigned Receivables (or any of them). No such notification shall   be required if it were unsuitable under the circumstances (untunlich), in particular if (i)   the relevant Assignor has generally ceased to make payments (Zahlungseinstellung),   (ii) an application for the institution of insolvency proceedings has been filed by or   against the relevant Assignor (Antrag auf Eröffnung eines Insolvenzverfahrens) or   insolvency proceedings have been opened (Eröffnung eines Insolvenzverfahrens)   against the relevant Assignor, unless in case of an application filed against it, such   application is obviously abusive, or (iii) compliance with the notice period would   have an adverse effect on the enforcement and realisation of the assigned Receivables.   Each Assignor hereby expressly agrees that these notice provisions are sufficient and   the Administrative Agent shall not be obliged to deliver any further notices or proof to   the relevant Assignor prior to the realisation of the assigned Receivables.   12.2 To the extent that the Authorisation is revoked, the Administrative Agent may request   to receive all relevant documents relating to the Receivables and each Assignor   hereby agrees to promptly comply with any such request.   12.3 After the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Administrative   Agent may collect the Receivables in total or in part to the extent necessary to satisfy   any outstanding Secured Obligations, it being understood that the Administrative   Agent shall apply the proceeds of such realisation towards the Secured Obligations in   accordance with the relevant provision of the Credit Agreement.   12.4 After the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Administrative   Agent may request the Assignors to collect the Receivables for and on behalf of the   Administrative Agent and in accordance with the Administrative Agent's instruction.   Each Assignor shall promptly comply with such request.   12.5 If the Administrative Agent collects any Receivables pursuant to Clause 12.3 above   (Enforcement), it may take all measures and enter into all agreements with debtors   that it considers to be expedient. In particular, the Administrative Agent may grant   discounts or indulgence to any debtors and/or enter into settlement agreements of any   kind in relation to existing Receivables at any time.    

 

11   AVAYA Global Assignment Agreement (#283646FRA)   12.6 The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several   security interests (created under this Agreement or elsewhere) shall be used to satisfy   the Secured Obligations.   12.7 Given the non-accessory nature of the Security created hereunder, none of the   Assignors has defences of revocation and set-off and nor defences based on defences   any Loan Party might have against the Secured Obligations. The Administrative   Agent is not required to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security before   enforcing the security interest created hereunder.   13. LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT   13.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan   Document, if and to the extent that any managing director (Geschäftsführer) of an   Assignor (or, in case of Assignor 1, of its general partner) demonstrates in writing to   the Administrative Agent by way of providing a certificate accompanied with   background information reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting   reasonably) that enforcement of the collateral created hereunder in respect of any   Cross- and Upstream Liability Obligation were to cause personal liability of such   managing director based on mandatory restrictions imposed by German law relating   to up-stream and cross-stream guarantees and/or collateral and/or payment, the   Administrative Agent shall only be entitled to enforce the collateral created hereunder   in respect of the Cross- and Upstream Liability Obligation up to the amount at which   no such personal liability (as demonstrated by the managing director) would occur. In   the event that the Administrative Agent is so restricted in enforcement of the   collateral granted hereunder pursuant to this Clause, the relevant Assignor shall take   all reasonable measures to mitigate the effect of such limitation and inform the   Administrative Agent of any such measures accordingly. The relevant Assignor shall   at any time, upon the Administrative Agent's reasonable request, provide the   Administrative Agent with further and updated evidence showing whether and to   which extent its financial condition has improved. The Administrative Agent shall at   all times remain entitled (acting reasonably) to further enforce the collateral created   hereunder in respect of the Cross- and Upstream Liability Obligation as and when the   financial condition of the relevant Assignor improves.   13.2 Any evidence relating to financial information delivered by the relevant Assignor in   connection with Clause 13.1 above shall be prepared in accordance with the   provisions of the HGB consistently applied by the relevant Assignor (or in case of   Assignor 1, by its general partner) in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets   (Jahresabschluss) according to § 42 GmbHG, §§ 242, 264 HGB in the previous years,   save that (i) loans provided to the relevant Assignor by its parent or any of its parent's   subsidiaries shall be disregarded, if and to the extent that such loans are subordinated   or are considered subordinated by law or by contract at least to the rank pursuant to §   39 (1) No. 5 InsO and (ii) loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the relevant   Assignor in breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not be taken   into account as liabilities.   13.3 “Cross- and Upstream Liability Obligations” means any guarantee and indemnity   or joint and several liability which secures any obligations owed by any other Loan   Party who is an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning   of § 15 German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (in each case other than a direct    

 

12   AVAYA Global Assignment Agreement (#283646FRA)   or indirect subsidiary of the relevant Assignor). For the avoidance of doubt, any   guarantee and indemnity or joint and several liability which secures any obligations   owed in respect of (x) loans to the extent they are on-lent to the relevant Assignor or   any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and such amount is not repaid or (y) bank   guarantees, letters of credit or any other financial or monetary instrument issued for   the benefit of any of the creditors of the relevant Assignor or any of its direct or   indirect subsidiaries shall not constitute Cross- and Upstream Liability Obligations.   14. BOOKKEEPING AND DATA PROCESSING   14.1 Each Assignor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, who hereby accepts such   assignment, any right it has against any third party (in particular any bookkeeping   firm or tax consultant) in respect of the return of any means of evidence or documents   which the relevant Assignor has handed over to such third party and which are   necessary to identify the Receivables. Each Assignor undertakes to instruct any such   third party, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, to   provide the Administrative Agent upon first demand with such information, proof and   documents which are necessary to check, assess and/or enforce the security interest   created hereby.   14.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, each Assignor shall   allow the Administrative Agent access to any electronic data-processing system,   including peripheral equipment, in which any data concerning the Receivables or any   part thereof have been stored at all reasonable times during normal business hours and   upon reasonable advance notice. Moreover, each Assignor shall provide any   assistance required to the Administrative Agent (including by making software   operators available). Each Assignor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, who   hereby accepts such assignment, all its rights against any third party which handles   the electronic processing of data concerning the Receivables and undertakes to   instruct any such third party, upon a respective demand of the Administrative Agent   following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, to handle the   processing of data for the Administrative Agent as it did for the relevant Assignor   provided that the relevant Assignor shall continue to be given access to any data it   requires in its ordinary course of business.   14.3 The Administrative Agent authorises each Assignor to exercise the rights assigned to   the Administrative Agent pursuant to Clauses 14.1 above and 14.2 above at all times   prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing.   15. RECOURSE CLAIMS   No Assignor shall at any time before, on or after an enforcement of the assigned   Receivables, and/or as a result of any Assignor entering into this Agreement, have any   recourse claims (Rückgriffsansprüche) (including those on the basis of unjust   enrichment (ungerechtfertigte Bereicherung)) or be entitled to demand   indemnification or compensation from any Loan Party or any of the relevant Loan   Party's affiliates or to assign any of these claims. Each Assignor hereby irrevocably   waives (Verzicht auf Rückgriffsansprüche) and, to the extent any rights or claims are   not covered by such waiver, agrees not to exercise (pactum de non petendo) any rights   or claims that may pass to, or are otherwise established or created for the benefit of,    

 

13   AVAYA Global Assignment Agreement (#283646FRA)   the relevant Assignor by subrogation or otherwise, including any recourse claim   against any Loan Party as a result of:   (a) the repayment by the relevant Assignor of any debt or the satisfaction of any   other obligation of that Loan Party under any of the Loan Documents; or   (b) the enforcement of any of the assigned Receivables (or any part thereof).   16. COSTS AND EXPENSES   Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement shall apply accordingly as   explicitly set out in this Agreement.   17. INDEMNITY   Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement shall apply accordingly as explicitly set out in   this Agreement.   18. DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE   18.1 This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the   Secured Obligations. The security interest created hereunder shall not cease to exist if   the Secured Obligations have only temporarily been discharged.   18.2 This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest and no amendment,   novation, restatement, supplement, supersession, extension or other modification   whatsoever in the Credit Agreement or in any document or agreement related to the   Credit Agreement shall affect the validity, enforceability or the scope of this   Agreement nor the obligations that are imposed on the Assignors pursuant to it.   18.3 This Agreement is independent from any other security interest that may have been or   will be given to the Secured Parties (including the Administrative Agent). Such other   security interest shall not prejudice, shall not be prejudiced by, and shall not be   merged in any way with this Agreement.   18.4 Waiving § 418 BGB, each Assignor hereby agrees that the security interest created   hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Secured   Obligations to, or by, any third party.   19. RELEASE OF SECURITY (SICHERHEITENFREIGABE)   19.1 Upon complete satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent will   without undue delay, at the costs and expenses of the Assignor, reassign to the   relevant Assignor the Receivables and surrender the excess proceeds, if any, resulting   from any realisation of the Receivables. The Administrative Agent will, however,   transfer any of the Receivables or excess proceeds to a third person if so required by   mandatory, applicable law.   19.2 At any time when the total value of any and all Security granted by the Assignors and   any of the other Foreign Loan Parties to secure the Secured Obligations, which can be   expected to be realized in the event of an enforcement of any and all Security   (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Secured Obligations (the "Limit") not    

 

14   AVAYA Global Assignment Agreement (#283646FRA)   only temporarily, the Administrative Agent shall, on demand of the Assignors, release   such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Administrative Agent may in   its sole discretion determine so as to reduce the realizable value of the Security to the   Limit.   20. NOTICES AND LANGUAGE   20.1 All notices, consents, and other communications hereunder shall be made in writing   and shall be hand-delivered or sent by facsimile or courier to the following addresses,   or to such other recipients or addresses as notified by the respective Party to the other   Parties in writing no later than 5 (five) Business Days before any subsequent notices   or communications will be sent to such Person:   to Assignor 1: AVAYA GMBH & CO.

PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER   21.1 Invalidity   21.2 Without prejudice to any other provision hereof, if at any time any provision hereof is   or becomes void (nichtig), invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any   jurisdiction or with respect to any Party, this shall not, to the fullest extent permitted   by mandatory, applicable law, render void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable such   provision or provisions in any other jurisdiction or with respect to any other Party and   shall not affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining   provisions hereof. Such void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be   deemed replaced by such valid, legal and enforceable provision that comes as close as   reasonably possible to the commercial intentions of the Parties. Should a gap   (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting   or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions   hereof, be deemed to be filled with such provision as comes as close as reasonably   possible to what the Parties would have intended in accordance with the purpose of   this Agreement had they considered the point at the time of conclusion of this   Agreement. § 139 BGB shall not at all apply.   21.3 Waiver   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative   Agent, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any   single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise   thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided   hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.   22. COUNTERPARTS AND CONCLUSION OF THIS AGREEMENT   22.1 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when   so executed shall constitute one and the same Agreement.   22.2 This Agreement may be concluded by an exchange of signed signature page(s),   transmitted by way of fax, computer fax or attached as an electronic photocopy to an   email.   22.3 If the Agreement is to be concluded pursuant to Clause 22.2 (Counterparts and   Conclusion of this Agreement) above, each Party shall transmit its signed signature

TRANSFER OF TITLE   2.1 Each Transferor hereby transfers by way of security to the Administrative Agent title   to any and all its assets including (i) all Current Assets which are located at the   premises as set out, marked and identified as "Premises" on the site maps attached   hereto in Schedule 1 (Premises and Asset List), which forms an integral part of this   Agreement, (the "Premises") and are set out and identified as assets of the relevant   Transferor in the list of assets (the "Asset List") attached hereto in Schedule 1   (Premises and Asset List), which forms an integral part of this Agreement, at the time   of the conclusion of this Agreement (the "Present Collateral") or which will be   located at the Premises from time to time in the future as set out and identified as   assets of the relevant Transferor in any updates of the Asset List from time to time in   the future (the "Future Collateral") in each case other than any assets marked in the   relevant Asset List with "SPA" in the column "Firma" or set out, as applicable, in a   separate sheet or document labelled "VMI" and/or "Archiv und Packmittel" (the Future   Collateral together with the Present Collateral herein referred to as the "Transferred   Goods"); and   2.2 Title to the Present Collateral shall pass over to the Administrative Agent upon   execution of this Agreement. Title to the Future Collateral brought to any Premises   shall pass over to the Administrative Agent (at the latest), when it is identified in the   (updated) Asset List.   2.3 To the extent that the relevant Transferor has only co-ownership (Miteigentum) of   Transferred Goods or the relevant Transferor has any inchoate rights   (Anwartschaftsrechte) in respect of Transferred Goods, the relevant Transferor hereby   transfers to the Administrative Agent such co-ownership or inchoate rights, and it is   agreed that the transfer of ownership, co-ownership, or inchoate rights in respect of   Transferred Goods takes place on the date hereof or on the date the relevant   Transferor acquires ownership, co-ownership or inchoate rights in respect of such   Transferred Goods (the Transferred Goods together with the ownership, co-   ownership, or inchoate rights are hereinafter referred to as the "Transferred Assets").   2.4 In lieu of transfer of possession of the Transferred Assets to the Administrative Agent   the Parties agree that the relevant Transferor shall hold the Transferred Assets in   gratuitous custody (unentgeltliche Verwahrung) for the Administrative Agent. Each   Transferor hereby further assigns all present and future claims against third parties   obtaining actual possession of any of the relevant Transferred Assets to the   Administrative Agent, who accepts such assignment.   2.5 Each Transferor and the Administrative Agent agree that any transfer of title to the   Collateral Agent shall not be affected (i) by the relevant Transferor (or any servicer on   its behalf) relocating any of the Transferred Assets to premises other than the   Premises, (ii) relocating any of the Transferred Assets within the relevant Premises   (e.g. from one storage place identified in the relevant Asset List (as applicable) to   another storage place on such premises, (iii) by the relevant Transferor opening new    

 

- 6 -   AVAYA Security Transfer Agreement (#283650FRA)   premises other than the Premises for the Transferred Assets in Germany or (iv) by   deleting any of the Transferred Assets from the Asset List.   2.6 The Administrative Agent hereby accepts the transfers constituted in this Clause 2   (Transfer of Title).   3. SECURITY PURPOSE OF TRANSFER   The transfer of title hereunder is constituted in order to secure the prompt and   complete satisfaction of any and all Secured Obligations.   4. LIST OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS   4.1 Each Transferor undertakes to deliver to the Administrative Agent on a daily basis   with an up-to-date list of the Transferred Assets located at the Premises. Each list of   Transferred Assets shall be sent via email (to the addresses agreed between the   Administrative Agent and the Transferors, being at the date hereof:   brendan.mackay@citi.com) or on a readable and compatible CD, DVD or other   electronic data storage medium or in such other form as agreed between the   Administrative Agent and the Transferors and shall be in a format readily and easily   accessible for the Administrative Agent. Upon delivery of an updated list pursuant to   this Clause 4.1, the representations and warranties set out in Clauses 11.5, 11.6 and   11.7 are deemed to be made with respect to the provided information. In order to   mitigate any risks related to technical issues which would cause the non-availability   of any list to be provided on a daily basis, each Transferor will grant the   Administrative Agent access to all information obtained under or in connection with   its "Business Continuity Plan" established (as the case may be, with a warehouse   owner, operator or servicer) in connection with the Premises. Such information shall,   to the extent it does not affect the validity and the effectiveness of the security granted   hereunder, replace the recent Asset List and shall, form an integral part of this   Agreement. Provided that the Administrative Agent has obtained the required   information under or in connection with such contingency plan, a failure of the   relevant Transferor to provide an up-to date list of Transferred Assets pursuant to the   first sentence of this Clause shall not constitute an Event of Default.   4.2 Any updated Asset List shall provide all necessary details for the clear identification   of the Transferred Assets including, where applicable, the location of the Transferred   Assets (including area on premises, shelve number, number of storage place (as   applicable)), the owner of the location (including the relevant landlord or warehouse   owner, if applicable) and identification marker, barcode, details of the nature of the   Transferred Assets, the number, weight and capacity thereof, and the book value of   the Transferred Assets. Each list shall be provided with a self-explanatory legend,   unless the legend provided so far is still complete and up-to date.   4.3 If any Transferor employs a third party for its bookkeeping and/or data-processing   and/or storage management, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each   Transferor hereby irrevocably authorises the Administrative Agent to obtain any such   lists directly from such third party at the relevant Transferor's costs and expenses and

RETENTION OF TITLE ARRANGEMENTS   Each Transferor shall, where appropriate in the ordinary course of business, terminate   any retention of title arrangements (Eigentumsvorbehalt) of third parties in respect of   any Transferred Assets by paying the purchase price thereof. Upon the occurrence of   an Event of Default, which is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled,   but not obliged, to terminate such retention of title arrangements by paying the   outstanding purchase price or part thereof on behalf of the Transferor to any such   third party.   6. STATUTORY LIEN   6.1 Each Transferor undertakes to use its reasonable efforts that, within sixty (60) days   from the date of this Agreement, each landlord (if applicable) waives by written   declaration of any statutory liens that it may have as a lessor or landlord or as an   owner of Premises under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany in relation to   any of the Transferred Assets of the relevant Transferor. Each Transferor shall   authorize the relevant lessor or landlord or owner of the Premises to provide the   Administrative Agent or any of its designees with any information relating to the   relevant Transferred Assets and the leased premises (as applicable) upon the   Administrative Agent's reasonable request and to grant access to the relevant premises   to the Administrative Agent (or any of its designees) as set out in Clause 17.3. Each   Transferor shall use its reasonable efforts that the relevant lessor or landlord or owner   of a warehouse confirms that it will honour such instructions. In the event that any   Transferor enters into a new lease agreement or a new agreement with a warehouse   owner in future, the relevant Transferor will instruct the relevant lessor or landlord or   owner of a warehouse as set out above and procures to use reasonable efforts to   provide the Administrative Agent with the aforementioned declarations of the relevant   lessor or landlord or owner of a warehouse prior to relocating and/or storing any   assets at such premises or warehouses.   6.2 If the Transferred Assets or any part thereof become subject to any statutory lien in   favour of any third party (e.g., landlords, warehouse owners, contractors), other than   the statutory liens in favour of the lessor of the Premises and owner of a warehouse   Premises existing as of the date hereof or any other Permitted Lien, each Transferor   shall inform the Administrative Agent promptly thereof and, if so requested by the   Administrative Agent, shall prove to the Administrative Agent the punctual payment   of the sums so secured in favour of third parties ten (10) Business Days after the due   date for payment.   6.3 Without limiting the obligations set out in Clause 6.1 above, each Transferor shall,   upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, use reasonable efforts to   provide the Administrative Agent with a written waiver of such third party of any   rights relating to the Transferred Assets and will inform the Administrative Agent   promptly by telefax should it, the relevant Transferor, fail to pay any of its obligations    

 

- 8 -   AVAYA Security Transfer Agreement (#283650FRA)   secured under the statutory lien and if the relevant third party has given notice to such   Transferor that it intends to enforce its lien.   6.4 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but is not obliged), at any time after the   occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, to pay the sums secured under   the statutory lien for the account of the relevant Transferor in order to ward off any   statutory lien.   7. USE OF AND LABELLING OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS   7.1 Subject to Clause 6 (Statutory Lien), except if the failure to do so would not   reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Transferor shall keep   the Transferred Assets in good order, ordinary wear and tear and casualty or   condemnation excepted and consistent with past practice at its own costs and   expenses.   7.2 Each Transferor undertakes to the Administrative Agent to procure that all its present   and future Current Assets and Fixed Assets located at the Premises are identified as   assets of the relevant Transferor in the form as agreed between the Administrative   Agent and the Transferors.   7.3 At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the   Administrative Agent shall be entitled to, or request the relevant Transferor to, label   the Transferred Assets, or parts thereof, and mark them in the books and records of   the relevant Transferor to show to third parties that they have been transferred for   security purposes to the Administrative Agent.   8. PREMISES   8.1 Each Transferor undertakes towards the Administrative Agent that upon the opening   or occupation of new premises where any of the Transferred Assets are not only   temporarily stored it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and deliver a   detailed site map of the premises. Upon receipt of such notice and the respective site   map showing the exact locations at which such Transferred Assets, to the extent   located at such premises, are stored, the relevant locations shall also constitute   Premises.   8.2 The relevant Transferor's right to relocate any of the Transferred Assets to premises   other than the Premises is subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, Clause 7 (Use   of and Labelling of Transferred Assets) and Clause 9 (Disposal and Transfer of   Transferred Assets).   9. DISPOSAL AND TRANSFER OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS   Subject to Clause 10 (Revocation of Rights), each Transferor may, in accordance with   the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, use, dispose of and otherwise deal   with the Transferred Assets in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise   permitted under the Credit Agreement. In doing so, each Transferor shall act with the   care of a prudent businessman (Sorgfalt eines ordentlichen Kaufmanns).

REVOCATION OF RIGHTS   At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the   Administrative Agent may revoke the right of the Transferors to dispose of the   Transferred Assets permitted pursuant to Clause 9 (Disposal and Transfer of   Transferred Assets) and the Administrative Agent may request a transfer of   possession of the Transferred Assets to it.   11.

- 11 -   AVAYA Security Transfer Agreement (#283650FRA)   this Clause 12.4, Transferor 3 hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorises the   Administrative Agent and each legal advisor appointed by the Administrative Agent   to do, at the cost and expense of Transferor 3, all acts and sign on behalf of   Transferor 3 all required documents and forms (whether physical or in electronic   format) as the Administrative Agent and/or such advisor may consider necessary or   desirable to procure compliance with the procedure under section 409(3) or 409(4) of   the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland. Transferor 3 hereby irrevocably and   unconditionally indemnifies and agrees to hold the Administrative Agent and each   Lender (and their respective legal advisors) harmless against any loss or liability   incurred by the Administrative Agent and such Lender (or any such legal advisor) as a   consequence of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any such legal advisor)   procuring compliance with the procedure under section 409(3) or 409(4) of the   Companies Act 2014 of Ireland in reliance on this Clause. For the avoidance of doubt,   this Clause authorises the Administrative Agent or its legal adviser to include their e-   mail address in any Form for the purposes of receiving a certificate of registration of a   charge from the Companies Registration Office of Ireland.   13. ENFORCEMENT   13.1 At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the   Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement and   realise the Transferred Assets.   13.2 At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the   Administrative Agent will notify the relevant Transferor at least 5 (five) Business   Days prior to the enforcement of the Transferred Assets (or any of them) under this   Agreement. No such notification shall be required if it were unsuitable under the   circumstances (untunlich), in particular if (i) the relevant Transferor has generally   ceased to make payments (Zahlungseinstellung), (ii) an application for the institution   of insolvency proceedings has been filed by or against the relevant Transferor (Antrag   auf Eröffnung eines Insolvenzverfahrens) or insolvency proceedings have been   opened (Eröffnung eines Insolvenzverfahrens) against the relevant Transferor, unless   in case of an application filed against it, such application is obviously abusive, or   (iii) compliance with the notice period would have an adverse effect on the   enforcement and realisation of the Transferred Assets. Each Transferor hereby   expressly agrees that these notice provisions are sufficient and the Administrative   Agent shall not be obliged to deliver any further notices or proof to the relevant   Transferor prior to the realisation of the Transferred Assets.   13.3 At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the   Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security   interests (created under this Agreement or elsewhere) shall be used to satisfy the   Secured Obligations.   13.4 At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the   Administrative Agent may request that all documents of title and other documents   relating to the Transferred Assets be handed over to it and each Transferor hereby   agrees to promptly comply with any such request.    

 

- 12 -   AVAYA Security Transfer Agreement (#283650FRA)   13.5 At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, to the   extent legally permissible, the Administrative Agent has the right to sell all or part of   the Transferred Assets by way of private sale and may take all measures and enter   into any and all agreements which it considers to be expedient in connection   therewith.

After the   complete, unconditional and full payment and discharge of all Secured Obligations   any remaining proceeds resulting from the enforcement of the security interests   granted hereunder (or parts thereof) shall be transferred to the relevant Transferor at   its own costs and expenses.   13.7 Given the non-accessory nature of the Security created hereunder, no Transferor has a   defences of revocation and set-off and no defences based on defences any Loan Party   might have against the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent is not required   to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security before enforcing the security   created hereunder.   14. LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT RELATING TO THE GERMAN   TRANSFERORS   14.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan   Document, if and to the extent that any managing director (Geschäftsführer) of a   German Transferor (or, in case of Transferor 1, of its general partner) demonstrates in   writing to the Administrative Agent by way of providing a certificate accompanied   with background information satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting   reasonably) that enforcement of the collateral created hereunder in respect of any   Cross- and Upstream Liability Obligation were to cause personal liability of such   managing director based on mandatory restrictions imposed by German law relating   to up-stream and cross-stream guarantees and/or collateral and/or payment, the   Administrative Agent shall only be entitled to enforce the collateral created hereunder   in respect of the Cross- and Upstream Liability Obligation up to the amount at which   no such personal liability (as demonstrated by the managing director) would occur. In   the event that the Administrative Agent is so restricted in enforcement of the   collateral granted hereunder pursuant to this Clause, the relevant German Transferor   shall take all reasonable measures to mitigate the effect of such limitation and inform   the Administrative Agent of any such measures accordingly. The relevant German   Transferor shall at any time, upon the Administrative Agent's reasonable request,   provide the Administrative Agent with further and updated evidence showing whether   and to which extent its financial condition has improved. The Administrative Agent   shall at all times remain entitled, acting reasonably, to further enforce the collateral    

 

- 13 -   AVAYA Security Transfer Agreement (#283650FRA)   created hereunder in respect of the Cross- and Upstream Liability Obligation as and   when the financial condition of the relevant German Transferor improves.   14.2 Any evidence relating to financial information delivered by the relevant German   Transferor in connection with Clause 14.1 above shall be prepared in accordance with   the provisions of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, "HGB")   consistently applied by the relevant German Transferor (or in case of Transferor 1, by   its general partner) in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss)   according to § 42 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die   Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, GmbHG), §§ 242, 264 HGB in the previous   years, save that (i) loans provided to the relevant German Transferor by its parent or   any of its parent's subsidiaries shall be disregarded, if and to the extent that such loans   are subordinated or are considered subordinated by law or by contract at least to the   rank pursuant to § 39 (1) No. 5 InsO and (ii) loans or other contractual liabilities   incurred by the relevant German Transferor in breach of this Agreement or any other   Loan Document shall not be taken into account as liabilities.   14.3 “Cross- and Upstream Liability Obligations” means any guarantee and indemnity   or joint and several liability which secures any obligations owed by any other Loan   Party who is an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning   of § 15 German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (in each case other than a direct   or indirect subsidiary of the relevant German Transferor). For the avoidance of doubt,   any guarantee and indemnity or joint and several liability which secures any   obligations owed in respect of (x) loans to the extent they are on-lent to the relevant   German Transferor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and such amount is not   repaid or (y) bank guarantees, letters of credit or any other financial or monetary   instrument issued for the benefit of any of the creditors of the relevant German   Transferor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries shall not constitute Cross- and   Upstream Liability Obligations   15. BOOKKEEPING AND DATA PROCESSING   15.1 Each Transferor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, who hereby accepts such   assignment, any right it has against any third party (in particular any bookkeeping   firm or tax consultant) in respect of the return of any means of evidence or documents   which the relevant Transferor has handed over to such third party and which are   necessary to identify the Transferred Assets. Each Transferor undertakes to instruct   any such third party, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing,   to provide the Administrative Agent upon first demand with such information, proof   and documents which are necessary to check, assess and/or enforce the security   interest created hereby.   15.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, each Transferor shall   allow the Administrative Agent access to any electronic data-processing system,   including peripheral equipment, in which any data concerning the Transferred Assets   or any part thereof have been stored at all reasonable times during normal business   hours and upon reasonable advance notice. Moreover, upon the occurrence of an   Event of Default which is continuing, each Transferor shall provide any assistance   required to the Administrative Agent (including by making software operators    

 

- 14 -   AVAYA Security Transfer Agreement (#283650FRA)   available). Each Transferor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, who hereby   accepts such assignment, all its rights against any third party which handles the   electronic processing of data concerning the Transferred Assets and undertakes to   instruct any such third party, upon a respective demand of the Administrative Agent   following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, to handle the   processing of data for the Administrative Agent as it did for the Transferor provided   that the Transferors shall continue to be given access to any data it requires in their   ordinary course of business.   15.3 The Administrative Agent authorises each Transferor to exercise the rights assigned   to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Clauses 15.1 above and 15.2 above at all   times prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.   16. RECOURSE CLAIMS   No Transferor shall at any time before, on or after an enforcement of the Transferred   Assets, and/or as a result of any Transferor entering into this Agreement, have any   recourse claims (Rückgriffsansprüche) (including those on the basis of unjust   enrichment (ungerechtfertigte Bereicherung)) or be entitled to demand   indemnification or compensation from any Loan Party or any of the relevant Loan   Party's affiliates or to assign any of these claims. Each Transferor hereby irrevocably   waives (Verzicht auf Rückgriffsansprüche) and, to the extent any rights or claims are   not covered by such waiver, agrees not to exercise (pactum de non petendo) any rights   or claims that may pass to, or are otherwise established or created for the benefit of,   the relevant Transferor by subrogation or otherwise, including any recourse claim   against any Loan Party as a result of:   (a) the repayment by the relevant Transferor of any debt or the satisfaction of any   other obligation of that Loan Party under any of the Loan Documents; or   (b) the enforcement in any of the Transferred Assets (or any part thereof).   17. RIGHT OF INSPECTION   17.1 Each Transferor authorises the Administrative Agent and its designees during the   term of this Agreement and upon reasonable prior written notice (including by e-mail)   to inspect the Transferred Assets at the relevant Premises during normal business   hours upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing.   17.2 To the extent that any of the Transferred Assets are in the possession of a third party,   such third party shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent following the   occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, be instructed by the relevant   Transferor to permit access and to allow inspection by the Administrative Agent and   its designees of the relevant Transferred Assets at such third party's premises.   17.3 To the extent that any of the Transferred Assets are in the possession of a third party   such third party shall be instructed by the relevant Transferor to permit access and to   allow inspection by the Administrative Agent and its designees of the relevant   Transferred Assets at such third party's premises.

INDEMNITY   Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement shall apply accordingly as explicitly set out in   this Agreement.   20.

The security interest created hereunder shall not cease to exist if   the Secured Obligations have only temporarily been discharged.   20.2 This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest and no amendment,   novation, restatement, supplement, supersession, extension or other modification   whatsoever in the Credit Agreement or in any document or agreement related to the   Credit Agreement shall affect the validity, enforceability or the scope of this   Agreement nor the obligations that are imposed on the Transferors pursuant to it.   20.3 This Agreement is independent from any other security that may have been or will be   given to the Secured Parties (including the Administrative Agent). Such other security   shall not prejudice, shall not be prejudiced by, and shall not be merged in any way   with this Agreement.   20.4 Waiving § 418 BGB, each Transferor hereby agrees that the security interest created   hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Secured   Obligations to, or by, any third party.   21. RETRANSFER OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS   21.1 Upon complete satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent will   as soon as reasonably practicable, at the cost and expense of the Transferors retransfer   the Transferred Assets to the relevant Transferor and surrender the excess proceeds, if   any, resulting from any realisation of the Transferred Assets. The Administrative   Agent will, however, transfer any of the Transferred Assets or excess proceeds to a   third person if so required by mandatory, applicable law.   21.2 At any time when the total value of any and all Security granted by the Transferors   and any of the other Foreign Loan Parties to secure the Secured Obligations, which   can be expected to be realized in the event of an enforcement of any and all Security   (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Secured Obligations (the "Limit") not   only temporarily, the Administrative Agent shall, on demand of the relevant   Transferor, release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the   Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion determine so as to reduce the   realizable value of the Security to the Limit.
