2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and 

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the Participant the Option
provided herein, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Plan; 
 WHEREAS, the Participant and Avaya Inc. are party
to that certain Executive Employment Agreement, dated November 13, 2017 and effective as of the Grant Date (the “Employment Agreement”); and 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Participant agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 of
the Employment Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, as fully as though set forth herein, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied consistently with the parties’
intent that the end result should be the same as if the Restrictive Covenants were actually set forth herein. 

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and
for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. Incorporation by
Reference; Plan Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such
amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Award provided hereunder), all of which terms, conditions and provisions are made a part of and incorporated into this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Except as
provided otherwise herein, any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read
the Plan carefully and fully understands its content and agrees to be bound thereby and hereby. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. No part of the Option
granted hereby is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. 
 2. Grant of
Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, the Option to acquire from the Company at the Per Share Exercise Price specified above, subject to adjustment as provided for in the Plan, on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement and otherwise provided for in the Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified above subject to adjustment as provided for in the Plan (the “Option Shares”). Except as
otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s
interest in the Company for any reason. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by the Option unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares, and no
adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement. 

3. Vesting and Exercisability. 

(a) General. Except as set forth in Section 3(b), Section 3(c),
Section 3(d), Section 3(e), Section 3(f) or Section 3(g), as applicable, the Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows, provided
that the Participant has not incurred a Termination of Employment prior to each such vesting date, and provided, further, that there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each such vesting date: 

 

					
	 Vesting Dates
	  	Percentage of Option	 
	 First Anniversary of the Grant Date
	  	 	33.33	% 
	 Last Day of Each Quarter Thereafter
	  	 	8.33	% 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the number of Option Shares is not evenly divisible, then the portion of the Option
represented by any fractional Option Shares shall not vest and the smaller installments shall vest first, and upon vesting of the last installment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, 100% of the Option subject to this Award shall be
fully vested. 

  
 2 

 (b) Accelerated Vesting Upon a Qualifying Termination (No Change in Control) – On or
Before First Anniversary of Grant Date. In the event the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment on or before the first anniversary of the Grant Date as a result of the Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company or the
Company Entity that is the Participant’s actual employing entity without Cause, by the Participant for Good Reason, or due to the Participant’s death or Disability (any such Termination of Employment, a “Qualifying
Termination”), and such Qualifying Termination does not occur within the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following a Change in Control (such period, the “CIC Period”), subject to the Participant’s (or
the Participant’s estate’s, if applicable) execution, delivery and non-revocation of a customary release of claims in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates within sixty
(60) days of such Termination of Employment and, except in the event of a Termination of Employment due to death, continued compliance with the Restrictive Covenants, the Participant will vest in 75% of the outstanding and unvested portion of
the Option upon such Termination of Employment. 
 (c) Accelerated Vesting Upon a Qualifying Termination (No Change in
Control) – After First Anniversary of Grant Date. If the Participant incurs a Qualifying Termination after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and before the last vesting date provided for in Section 3(a), and
such Qualifying Termination does not occur within the CIC Period, then in addition to any vesting that has already occurred as of the date of such Termination of Employment, subject to the Participant’s (or the Participant’s estate’s,
if applicable) execution, delivery and non-revocation of a customary release of claims in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates within sixty (60) days of such Termination of Employment
and, except in the event of a Termination of Employment due to death, continued compliance with the Restrictive Covenants, the Participant will vest in either: (i) an additional portion of the Option such that the Option is vested with respect
to 75% of the total number of Option Shares as of the date of such Termination of Employment, or (ii) a pro-rata portion of the then-current vesting tranche of the Option as provided for under
Section 3(a) above, based on the number of days of his employment from the last vesting date (as provided for under Section 3(a) above) prior to the date of such Termination of Employment until the
next vesting date (as provided for under Section 3(a) above) following the date of such Termination of Employment, plus the portion of the Option that would have vested pursuant to
Section 3(a) above in the first twelve (12) months immediately following the date of such Termination of Employment, whichever of (i) or (ii) results in greater total vesting, and with the applicable vesting
effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant will vest with respect to no less than 75% of the total number of Option Shares granted pursuant to the Option hereunder in connection with such
Qualifying Termination. 
 (d) Accelerated Vesting Upon a Qualifying Termination (Change in Control). In the event the Participant
incurs a Qualifying Termination within the CIC Period, subject to the Participant’s (or the Participant’s estate’s, if applicable) execution, delivery and non-revocation of a customary release
of claims in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates within sixty (60) days of such Termination of Employment and, except in the event of a Termination of Employment due to death, continued compliance with the Restrictive
Covenants, any outstanding and unvested portion of the Option shall fully vest effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment.

 (e) Coordination with Employment Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the
Employment Agreement provides for more favorable treatment of the Option granted hereunder, the Participant shall be entitled to such more favorable treatment subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement. 

(f) Expiration. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and/or this Agreement, all outstanding
portions of the Option (whether vested or not vested) shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable immediately following the of tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date (such date, the “Option Expiration Date”). 

(g) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in Section 3(b),
Section 3(c), Section 3(d) or Section 3(e), any outstanding and unvested portion of the Option shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s Termination of
Employment for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Participant fails to execute, deliver and not revoke the release of claims provided for in Section 3(b), Section 3(c) or
Section 3(d), as applicable, any portion of the Option that remains outstanding and unvested as of the sixtieth (60th) day following the date on which the Qualifying
Termination occurs shall be forfeited and cancelled as of such sixtieth (60th) day without consideration therefor. Additionally, in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Employment by
the Company or the Company Entity that is the Participant’s actual employing entity for Cause, all outstanding portions of the Option, whether or not vested, shall be forfeited and cancelled without consideration therefor effective as of the
date of such Termination of Employment. 
 4. Exercise Following Termination. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the
Option, to the extent vested and non-forfeitable at the time of the Participant’s Termination, shall remain exercisable as follows:

pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3(b), Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) above or in connection with any additional vesting pursuant to

restrictions which Avaya conveys to the Participant and will take all actions necessary (to the extent within the Participant’s power and authority) to discharge the obligations of Avaya under such agreements. 

9. Confidentiality. 
 (a)
Nondisclosure and Nonuse of Confidential Information. All Confidential Information which the Participant creates or has access to as a result of the Participant’s relationship with Avaya is and shall remain the sole and exclusive
property of Avaya. The Participant will never, directly or indirectly, use or disclose any Confidential Information, except (i) as required for the proper performance of the Participant’s regular duties for Avaya, (ii) as expressly
authorized in writing in advance by the Company’s General Counsel, (iii) as required by applicable law or regulation, or (iv) as may be reasonably determined by the Participant to be necessary in connection with the enforcement of the
Participant’s rights in connection with this Agreement. This restriction shall continue to apply after the Participant’s Termination or any restriction time period set forth in this Agreement, howsoever caused. The Participant shall
furnish prompt notice to the Company’s General Counsel of any required disclosure of Confidential Information sought pursuant to subpoena, court order or any other legal process or requirement and shall provide the Company with a reasonable
opportunity to seek protection of the Confidential Information prior to any such disclosure, to the greatest extent time and circumstances permit. “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all information of Avaya, whether or
not in writing, that is not generally known by others with whom Avaya competes or does business, or with whom it plans to compete or do business, and any and all information, which, if disclosed, would assist in competition against Avaya, including,
but not limited to, (A) all proprietary information of Avaya, including, but not limited to, the products and services, technical data, methods, processes, know-how, developments, inventions, and formulae
of Avaya, (B) the development, research, testing, marketing and financial activities and strategic plans of Avaya, (C) the manner in which Avaya operates, (D) its costs and sources of supply, (E) the identity and special needs of
the customers, prospective customers and subcontractors of Avaya, and (F) the people and organizations with whom Avaya has business relationships and the substance of those relationships. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

  
 5 

 
Confidential Information shall specifically include: (1) any and all product testing methodologies, product test results, research and development plans and initiatives, marketing research,
plans and analyses, strategic business plans and budgets, and technology grids; (2) any and all vendor, supplier and purchase records, including, without limitation, the identity of contacts at any vendor, any list of vendors or suppliers, any
lists of purchase transactions and/or prices paid; and (3) any and all customer lists and customer and sales records, including, without limitation, the identity of contacts at purchasers, any list of purchasers, and any list of sales
transactions and/or prices charged by Avaya. Confidential Information also includes any information that Avaya may receive or has received from customers, subcontractors, suppliers or others, with any understanding, express or implied, that the
information would not be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that (x) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 9 by the Participant), (y) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Participant without use of Avaya’s Confidential Information or (z) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Participant by a
third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Participant of which the Participant is aware. 

(b) Permissible Disclosure. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Avaya, the Participant or their respective attorneys
from: (i) making any disclosure of relevant and necessary information or documents in any action, investigation, or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Plan, or as required by law or legal process, including with respect to possible
violations of law; (ii) participating, cooperating, or testifying in any action, investigation, or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, and/or pursuant to
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; or (iii) accepting any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission awards. In addition, nothing in this Agreement or the Plan prohibits or restricts Avaya or the Participant from initiating communications with, or responding
to any inquiry from, any regulatory or supervisory authority regarding any good faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation. 

(c) Trade Secrets. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal
or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of Avaya that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to the Participant’s attorney and
(B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If the Participant files a lawsuit for
retaliation by Avaya for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as the Participant files any
document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret except under court order. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade
secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. 
 (d) Use and Return of Documents. All documents, records, and files, in any
media of whatever kind and description, relating to the business, present or otherwise, of Avaya, and any copies (including, without limitation, electronic), in whole or in part, thereof (the “Documents,” and each individually, a
“Document”), whether or not prepared by the Participant, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Avaya. Except as required for the proper performance 

  
 6 

 
of the Participant’s regular duties for Avaya or as expressly authorized in writing in advance by Avaya, the Participant will not copy any Documents or remove any Documents or copies or
derivatives thereof from the premises of Avaya. The Participant will safeguard, and return to Avaya, immediately upon the Participant’s Termination, and at such other times as may be specified by Avaya, all Documents and other property of
Avaya, and all documents, records and files of its customers, subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers (“Third-Party Documents,” and each individually, a “Third-Party Document”), as well as all other property of such
customers, subcontractors, vendors and suppliers, then in the Participant’s possession or control. Provided, however, if a Document or Third-Party Document is on electronic media, the Participant may, in lieu of surrender of the Document or
Third-Party Document, provide a copy on electronic media to Avaya and delete and overwrite all other electronic media copies thereof. Upon request of any duly authorized officer of Avaya, the Participant will disclose all passwords necessary or
desirable to enable Avaya to obtain access to the Documents and Third-Party Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9(d) to the contrary, the Participant shall be permitted to retain copies of all Documents
evidencing the Participant’s hire, equity (including this Agreement), compensation rate and benefits, and any other agreements between the Participant and Avaya that the Participant has signed or electronically accepted. 

10. Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, and Other Restricted
Activity. 
 (a) Non-Competition. During the Participant’s relationship with Avaya
and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Participant’s Termination for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, whether paid or not, (i) serve as a
partner, principal, licensor, licensee, employee, consultant, officer, director, manager, agent, affiliate, representative, advisor, promoter, associate, investor, or otherwise for, (ii) directly or indirectly, own, purchase, organize or take
preparatory steps for the organization of, or (iii) build, design, finance, acquire, lease, operate, manage, control, invest in, work or consult for or otherwise join, participate in or affiliate himself or herself with, any business whose
business, product(s) or operations are in any respect competitive with or otherwise similar to Avaya’s business. The foregoing covenant shall cover the Participant’s activities in every part of the Territory. “Territory”
shall mean (A) all states of the United States of America from which Avaya derived revenue or conducted business at any time during the two (2)-year period prior to the date of the Participant’s Termination; and (B) all other
countries from which Avaya derived revenue or conducted business at any time during the two (2)-year period prior to the date of the Participant’s Termination. The foregoing shall not prevent: (1) passive ownership by the Participant of no
more than two percent (2%) of the equity securities of any publicly traded company; or (2) the Participant providing services to a division or subsidiary of a multi-division entity or holding company, so long as (x) no division or
subsidiary to which the Participant provides services is in any way competitive with or similar to the business of Avaya, and (y) the Participant is not involved in, and does not otherwise engage in competition on behalf of, the multi-division
entity or any competing division or subsidiary thereof. 
 (b) Good Will. Any and all good will which the Participant develops during
the Participant’s relationship with Avaya with any of the customers, prospective customers, subcontractors or suppliers of Avaya shall be the sole, exclusive and permanent property of Avaya, and shall continue to be such after the
Participant’s Termination, howsoever caused. 

  
 7 

 (c) Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the
Participant’s relationship with Avaya and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Participant’s Termination for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly,
contact, or cause to be contacted, directly or indirectly, or engage in any form of oral, verbal, written, recorded, transcribed, or electronic communication with any customer of Avaya for the purposes of conducting business that is competitive with
or similar to that of Avaya or for the purpose of disadvantaging Avaya’s business in any way; provided that this restriction applies (i) only with respect to those customers who are or have been a customer of Avaya at any time
within the immediately preceding one (1)-year period or whose business has been solicited on behalf of Avaya by any of its officers, employees or agents within said one (1)-year period, other than by form letter, blanket mailing or published
advertisement, and (ii) only if the Participant has performed work for such customer during the Participant’s relationship with Avaya, has been introduced to, or otherwise had contact with, such customer as a result of the
Participant’s relationship with Avaya, or has had access to Confidential Information which would assist in the solicitation of such customer. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to general solicitation or advertising, including through
media and trade publications. 
 (d) Non-Solicitation /
Non-Hiring of Employees and Independent Contractors. During the Participant’s relationship with Avaya and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Participant’s
Termination for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Participant will not, and will not assist anyone else to, (i) hire or solicit for hiring any employee of Avaya or seek to persuade or induce any employee of Avaya to discontinue
employment with Avaya, or (ii) hire or engage any independent contractor providing services to Avaya, or solicit, encourage or induce any independent contractor providing services to Avaya to terminate or diminish in any substantial respect its
relationship with Avaya. For the purposes of this Section 10(d), an “employee” or “independent contractor” of Avaya is any person who is or was such at any time within the six (6)-month period
immediately preceding the date of the prohibited conduct. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to general solicitation or advertising, including through media, trade publications and general job postings. 

(e) Non-Solicitation of Others. The Participant agrees that for a period of twelve
(12) months immediately following the Participant’s Termination, for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Participant will not solicit, encourage, or induce, or cause to be solicited, encouraged or induced, directly or
indirectly, any franchisee, joint venture, supplier, vendor or contractor who conducted business with Avaya at any time during the two (2)-year period preceding the Participant’s Termination, to terminate or adversely modify any business
relationship with Avaya, or not to proceed with, or enter into, any business relationship with Avaya, nor shall the Participant otherwise interfere with any business relationship between Avaya and any such franchisee, joint venture, supplier, vendor
or contractor. 
 (f) Non-Disparagement. Except as provided in Section 9 above or
in connection with the good faith performance of the Participant’s duties, the Participant agrees that, both during and after the Participant’s relationship with Avaya, the Participant will not, whether in private or in public, whether
orally, in writing, or otherwise, whether directly or indirectly, make, publish, encourage, ratify, or authorize; or aid, assist, or direct any other person or entity in making or publishing, any statements that in any way defame, criticize, malign,
impugn, denigrate, reflect negatively on, or disparage the Avaya Parties (which means, 

  
 8 

 
collectively, (i) the Company and each of its Affiliates (solely to the extent the Participant has (or could reasonably be expected to have) knowledge that an entity is an Affiliate) and
Subsidiaries and (ii) each and all of their respective shareholders, interest holders, unit holders, advisors, managers, officers, directors, partners, principals, members, employees, fiduciaries, representatives and agents (solely to the
extent the Participant has (or could reasonably be expected to have) knowledge of their capacity as such)), or place any of the Avaya Parties in a negative light, in any manner whatsoever. 

(g) Notice of New Address and Employment. During the twelve (12)-month period immediately following the Participant’s Termination
for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Participant shall promptly provide Avaya with pertinent information concerning each new job or other business activity in which the Participant engages or plans to engage during such twelve
(12)-month period as Avaya may reasonably request in order to determine the Participant’s continued compliance with the Participant’s obligations under this Agreement. The Participant shall notify any new employer(s) of the
Participant’s obligations under this Agreement, and hereby consents to notification by Avaya to such employer(s) concerning the Participant’s obligations under this Agreement. Avaya shall treat any such notice and information as
confidential and shall not use or disclose the information contained therein except to enforce its rights hereunder. Any breach of this Section 10(g) shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. 

(h) Acknowledgement of Reasonableness; Remedies. In signing this Agreement, the Participant gives Avaya assurance that the Participant
has carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 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 Avaya, 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 Agreement, the harm to Avaya would be irreparable. Therefore, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, Avaya 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, and the Participant agrees that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy to address any such breach.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or other forms of relief available to Avaya, in the event of the Participant’s breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Participant’s Award will be forfeited for no
consideration and, if payment in respect of the Participant’s Award has been made, the Participant will be obligated to return the proceeds to Avaya. 

(i) Unenforceability. In the event that any provision of Section 8, Section 9,
Section 10 or Section 11 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 twelve (12)-month period of restriction set forth in Section 10(a),
Section 10(c), Section 10(d) and Section 10(e) hereof and 

  
 9 

 
the twelve (12)-month period of obligation set forth in Section 10(g) 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 Avaya shall have the agreed-upon temporal protection recited herein. 
 (j) Limited
Exception for Attorneys. Insofar as the restrictions set forth in this Section 10 prohibit the solicitation, inducement or attempt to hire a licensed attorney who is employed at Avaya, 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. 

(k) Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. Except as prohibited by law, the Participant shall indemnify Avaya from any and all
costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Avaya in successfully enforcing the terms of this Agreement against the Participant (including, but not limited to, a court partially or fully granting any application, motion, or petition
by Avaya for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction), as a result of the Participant’s breach or threatened breach of any provision contained herein. Avaya shall be entitled to recover from the
Participant its costs and fees incurred to date at any time during the course of a dispute (i.e., final resolution of such dispute is not a prerequisite) upon written demand to the Participant. 

(l) Enforcement. Avaya agrees that it will not seek to enforce any violation of Section 10(a),
Section 10(c), Section 10(d) or the portion of Section 10(e) that prohibits the Participant from hiring Avaya employees and independent contractors that primarily takes
place in the State of California, during any period of time when such enforcement is contrary to or otherwise prohibited by California law or regulation. 

11. Intellectual Property. 

(a) In signing this Agreement, the Participant hereby assigns and shall assign to Avaya all of the Participant’s rights, 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, created, developed, written or conceived by the Participant during the period of the Participant’s relationship with Avaya, whether during or outside of
regular working hours, either solely or jointly with another, in whole or in part, either: (i) in the course of such relationship, (ii) relating to the actual or anticipated business or research development of Avaya, or (iii) with the
use of Avaya time, material, private or proprietary information, or facilities, except as provided in Section 11(d) below. 

(b) The Participant will, without charge to Avaya, but at its expense, execute a specific assignment of title to Avaya and do anything else
reasonably necessary to enable Avaya to secure a patent, copyright or other form of protection for said Intellectual Property anywhere in the world. 

  
 10 

 (c) The Participant acknowledges that the copyrights in Intellectual Property created within the
scope of the Participant’s relationship with Avaya belong to Avaya by operation of law. 
 (d) The Participant has previously provided
to Avaya a list (the “Prior Invention List”) describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by the Participant prior to the Participant’s relationship with
Avaya, which belong to the Participant and which are not assigned to Avaya hereunder (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”); and, if no Prior Invention List was previously provided, the Participant represents and warrants
that there are no such Prior Inventions. 
 (e) Exception to Assignments. THE PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT REQUIRING ASSIGNMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (AS DEFINED ABOVE) TO AVAYA DO NOT APPLY TO ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THAT QUALIFIES FULLY UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870 (SET FORTH IN ITS ENTIRETY BELOW). THE
PARTICIPANT WILL ADVISE AVAYA PROMPTLY IN WRITING OF ANY INVENTIONS THAT THE PARTICIPANT BELIEVES MEET THE CRITERIA IN CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870 AND WHICH WERE NOT OTHERWISE DISCLOSED ON THE PRIOR INVENTION LIST PREVIOUSLY DELIVERED TO
AVAYA TO PERMIT A DETERMINATION OF OWNERSHIP BY AVAYA. ANY SUCH DISCLOSURE WILL BE RECEIVED IN CONFIDENCE. 
 CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE
SECTION 2870 
 INVENTION ON OWN TIME-EXEMPTION FROM AGREEMENT 

“(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights
in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those
inventions that either: 
 (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or
actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or 
 (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the
employer. 
 (b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise
excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.” 

12. Compliance with Other Agreements and Obligations. The Participant represents and warrants that the Participant’s employment or
other relationship with Avaya and execution and performance of this Agreement, including the restrictive covenants in Section 8, Section 9, Section 10 and
Section 11, 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 subject to any covenants

  
 11 

 
against competition or similar covenants or other obligations to third parties or to any court order, judgment or decree that would affect the performance of the Participant’s obligations
hereunder or the Participant’s duties and responsibilities to Avaya, except as disclosed in writing to the Company’s General Counsel no later than the time an executed copy of this Agreement is returned by the Participant. The Participant
will not disclose to or use on behalf of Avaya, or induce Avaya to use, any proprietary information of any previous employer or other third party without that party’s consent. 

13. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. Any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be governed by Section 13.9 of the Plan. 

14. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the Plan, contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements or prior understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties relating to such subject matter; provided however, that the restrictive covenants contained in
Sections 8 through 12 hereof are in addition to and not in lieu of any other restrictive covenants by which the Participant may be bound. The Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or amend this Agreement
from time to time in accordance with and as provided in the Plan. The Company shall give written notice to the Participant of any such modification or amendment of this Agreement as soon as practicable after the adoption thereof. 

15. Notices; Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Any notice hereunder by the Participant shall be given to the Company in writing and
such notice shall be deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof by the General Counsel of the Company. Any notice hereunder by the Company shall be given to the Participant in writing and such notice shall be deemed duly given only upon receipt
thereof at such address as the Participant may have on file with the Company. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Option awarded under the Plan or future Options that may be awarded under the Plan
by electronic means or request the Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. By accepting this Option Award, the Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate
in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. 

16. No Right to Employment or Service. Any questions as to whether and when there has been a Termination of Employment and the cause of
such Termination of Employment shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates to terminate the
Participant’s employment or service at any time, for any reason and with or without Cause. 
 17. Transfer of Personal Data. The
Participant authorizes, agrees and unambiguously consents to the transmission by the Company (or any Subsidiary) of any personal data information related to the Option awarded under this Agreement for legitimate business purposes (including, without
limitation, the administration of the Plan). This authorization and consent is freely given by the Participant. 

  
 12 

 18. Compliance with Laws. The grant of the Option (and the issuance of the Option Shares
upon exercise of the Option) pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to, and shall comply with, any applicable requirements of any foreign and U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the
provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and in each case any respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and any other law, rule, regulation or exchange requirement applicable thereto. The Company shall not be obligated to
grant the Option or issue any of the Option Shares pursuant to this Agreement if any such issuance would violate any such requirements. As a condition to the issuance of any Option Shares, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any
qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation. 
 19. Binding
Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon, and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns. 

20. Headings. The titles and headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and
shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. 
 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 22. Further
Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform (or shall cause to be done and performed) all such further acts and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as either party hereto reasonably
may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the Plan and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder. 

23. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the
validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations
of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 24. Acquired Rights. The Participant
acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Company may terminate or amend the Plan at any time; (b) the award of the Option made under this Agreement is completely independent of any other award or grant and is made at the sole discretion of
the Company; (c) no past grants or awards (including, without limitation, the Option awarded hereunder) give the Participant any right to any grants or awards in the future whatsoever; and (d) any benefits granted under this Agreement are
not part of the Participant’s ordinary compensation, and shall not be considered as part of such compensation in the event of severance, redundancy or resignation. 

  
 13 

 25. Acceptance of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in order for
this Award to become effective, the Participant must acknowledge acceptance of this Agreement no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Grant Date (the “Final Acceptance
Date”). If the Participant’s acceptance of this Agreement does not occur by the Final Acceptance Date, then the entire Award will be forfeited and cancelled without any consideration therefor, except as otherwise determined in the
Committee’s sole and absolute discretion. 
 26. No Waiver. No waiver or non-action by
either party hereto with respect to any breach by the other party of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself. 

27. No Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant’s interest in the Option shall not entitle the Participant to any rights as a
stockholder of the Company. The Participant shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of, the shares of Common Stock unless and until such shares have been issued to
the Participant upon exercise in accordance with Section 4. 
 28. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything
herein or in the Plan to the contrary, the Option is intended to be exempt from the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.
