2. AUTHORIZATION; RESELLERS AND RESALE AGREEMENTS
2.1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, Avaya authorizes Distributor to purchase from Avaya a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited license to use certain Cloud Software and related Maintenance Services for the sole purpose of marketing and providing Cloud Services to Resellers in the Territory for: (i) further resale of such Cloud Services by Resellers to Cloud End Users located in the Reseller’s authorized territory; and (ii) Reseller’s own internal use. Any Cloud Software and Maintenance Services ordered under this Amendment will be provided to Distributor on a subscription basis only subject to timely payment of the applicable Cloud Fees. Unless the Cloud Offer Definition expressly provides otherwise, except for the specific Maintenance Services for the Cloud Software included in the Cloud Fees this Amendment does not apply to any hardware Products or Services necessary to deploy Cloud Services. Such Services or hardware Products may be ordered by Distributor under the terms of the Agreement. Distributor shall not market Cloud Services or use the Hosted Solution except as permitted in this Section and the Internal Use provisions of the Agreement. In particular, Distributor is not authorized to resell Cloud Services or any other Products or Services directly to Cloud End Users. Avaya reserves the right to modify the conditions of or revoke this authorization subject to the terms of the Channel Policies by giving Distributor a [*****] written notice with the effective date on the last day of the applicable invoicing period.
2.2. Resellers. Prior to providing Cloud Services to any Reseller, Distributor must first execute a Resale Agreement with each such Reseller implementing all flow-down related requirements set forth in this Amendment or, if applicable, amend the existing Resale Agreement for that purpose. Each Reseller to whom Distributor may provide Cloud Services must be an Avaya authorized reseller complying with the Avaya authorization requirements and maintaining all accreditations and credentials for the Cloud Software and related Maintenance Services as set out in the Channel Policies. Resellers are only authorized to market and resell Cloud Services to Cloud End Users located in the Reseller’s authorized territory for Cloud End Users’ own internal use and not for any resale or other provision of Cloud Services to any third parties. Distributor shall expressly prohibit any resale of Cloud Services by Resellers to any other resellers or distributors. To the extent Cloud Services are purchased by any Reseller for its own internal use, then any such Reseller will be deemed a Cloud End User for all purposes of this Amendment.
2.3. Termination of Resale Agreement. Distributor shall promptly terminate the Resale Agreement, or its part applicable to Cloud Services, with any Reseller who: (i) is no longer an authorized reseller of Avaya; (ii) does not comply with any applicable Avaya authorization requirements or does not maintain any required accreditations or credentials; or (iii) has in any way failed to comply with: (a) Avaya End User License; (b) confidentiality obligations with respect to Avaya’s confidential information or Cloud Software; or (c) any legal obligations including those described in Section 5. In case of termination or expiry of a Resale Agreement, or its part applicable to Cloud Services, for any reason Distributor shall de-activate Cloud Software licenses allocated to the affected Reseller, unless such Reseller’s Cloud End Users are re-allocated to an alternative Reseller within 30 days of termination or expiry of the Resale Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributor shall continue to pay Avaya for any activated Cloud Software licenses for the affected Reseller until such licenses have been deactivated and a reasonable proof of de-activation has been provided to Avaya.
2.4. Reseller and Cloud End Users obligations. Distributor acknowledges and agrees that certain obligations under this Amendment, whether expressly identified as such in this Amendment or not, may also apply to Resellers and Cloud End Users (“Flowdown Obligations”). Distributor shall: (i) contractually obligate its Resellers to comply with the Flowdown Obligations, including by implementing the Flowdown Obligations in the Resale Agreements and contractually obligating Resellers to include the Flowdown Obligations in the agreements between Resellers and Cloud End Users; (ii) enforce the terms of Resale Agreements against Resellers and fully cooperate with Avaya in doing so; and (iii) contractually obligate Resellers to enforce the terms of their agreements with Cloud End Users in connection with the subject matter of this Amendment and in doing so fully cooperate with Distributor and Avaya. Where any Reseller or Cloud End User fails to comply with any Flowdown Obligation, Avaya will not be held liable for any resulting failure to perform its obligations under this Amendment. Upon Avaya’s request, Distributor shall provide Avaya with a copy of the relevant provisions in the Reseller Agreement containing the Flowdown Obligations.

Where the applicable WFO Cloud Software is billed on a per Cloud End User basis as set out in the Offer Definition or on an Avaya quotation, Cloud Fees will be determined by multiplying the price per applicable WFO Cloud Software per month by the Monthly Peak number of Cloud End Users using such WFO Cloud Software during the applicable month.
7.4.4. VaaS Software. Avaya will invoice Distributor for Video as a Service Software applications (“VaaS Software”) on a monthly provisioned usage basis. Cloud Fees will be calculated for each Cloud system deployed, each VaaS Software application and each Unit type separately. Cloud Fees for VaaS Software will be determined by multiplying the applicable price per Unit per month by the Monthly Peak number of provisioned Units.
7.4.5. IP Office and IP Office Contact Center Software. Cloud Fees will be calculated for each IP Office and IP Office Contact Center Cloud Software application and each Unit type separately. Cloud Fees will be determined by multiplying the applicable price per Unit per month by the Monthly Average Daily Peak number of ordered Units. The Unit counts are determined irrespective of how many Units are effectively used. Any IP Office and IP Office Contact Center Cloud Software application made available in any way to Distributor under this Amendment will be charged for and shall be paid by Distributor, even if unused by Distributor or Cloud End User, until such time as the applicable Unit has been deactivated in accordance with the applicable Cloud Offer Definition.
7.4.6. Avaya Control Manager (ACM). Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Cloud Offer Definition or Avaya’s quotation, Cloud Fees for ACM Cloud Software will be calculated on a per instance basis by multiplying the number of ACM instances active at the end of each invoicing period by the applicable price per instance per month. As it pertains specifically to ACM, an instance of ACM may run on multiple virtual machines which are, in combination, delivering the function of one ACM.
7.5. Invoicing. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Cloud Offer Definition or Avaya’s quotation, Cloud Fees will be calculated and invoiced monthly in arrears. Invoicing for each Cloud Order will start on the Commencement Date of that Cloud Order.
7.6. Information and cooperation. Upon Avaya’s request, Distributor shall timely provide Avaya with all information, data, reports, and Distributor’s full cooperation that may be reasonably required by Avaya to calculate the Cloud Fees. Distributor represents and warrants that to the best of its knowledge any such information and data it provides to Avaya is accurate and complete.
7.7. Consent to disclosure. As necessary and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Distributor agrees that Avaya may disclose to third parties information related to the use of Cloud Software by Distributor, Resellers or Cloud End Users as it may be necessary to determine compliance with this Amendment or for the calculation or auditing of royalty or other third party software licensing payments.

8.5. Third Party Software Licensing Requirement. Distributor acknowledges and agrees that Distributor’s hosting of any products, including the Cloud Software, that use or embed certain third party software, such as (by way of example only) Microsoft software or codecs, may require Distributor to independently obtain licenses, at its expense, directly from the applicable third party supplier. With respect to Microsoft specifically, if Distributor hosts any products that use or embed Microsoft software, Distributor must independently obtain, at Distributor’s expense, an applicable agreement from Microsoft. With respect to codecs, if Distributor is hosting any products that use or embed the g.729 codec, h.264 codec, or h.265 codec, Distributor acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for any and all related fees and/or royalties.
8.6. Ownership of Cloud Software. Distributor understands and agrees that the Cloud Software, and all copies thereof, including translations, compilations, derivative works and partial copies, are and will at all times remain the property of Avaya or its licensors.
8.7. Notification. Distributor shall provide Avaya with written notice of any misappropriation of confidential information or infringement of Intellectual Property Rights by Distributor, Reseller or Cloud End User as it pertains to Cloud Software and/or any related Documentation or any use of Cloud Software and/or related Documentation that exceeds the scope of the licenses authorized, as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming made aware of the breach.
8.8. Termination of License.

9. AUDIT RIGHTS
Avaya, or an independent auditor acting on Avaya’s behalf, may audit Distributor and, where applicable, its Resellers and Cloud End Users, in connection with usage monitoring and invoicing under this Amendment and/or in order to determine compliance with this Amendment. Distributor shall, and shall procure that Resellers and Cloud End Users, provide Avaya, or an independent auditor acting on Avaya’s behalf, access to any information, data as well as the data centers and premises housing the Hosted Solution and each system configuration containing Cloud Software, on-site and/or remotely, for any actions reasonably required by Avaya to conduct such audits. On-site audits may be conducted upon 5 business days’ notice. No notice is required for remote audits. If Avaya suspects a breach by Reseller or Cloud End User under the Avaya End User License as it relates to this Amendment, then upon Avaya’s request, Distributor shall: (i) audit such Reseller or Cloud End User; or (ii) procure that Reseller audits such Cloud End User. Upon Avaya’s request, Distributor shall, and where applicable shall obligate Reseller to, provide the results of the audit to Avaya. Distributor shall, and shall procure that Resellers and Cloud End Users, fully cooperate with Avaya in connection with any audits conducted by or on behalf of Avaya.
10. WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS
10.1. Warranty. Avaya warrants to Distributor that during the applicable warranty period: (i) Cloud Software will conform to and operate in accordance with the applicable Documentation in all material respects; (ii) Maintenance Services will be carried out in a professional and workmanlike manner by qualified personnel.

10.10. Exclusions and Disclaimers. Any warranty exclusions and disclaimers set out in the Agreement apply to the Cloud Software and Maintenance Services. In addition, Avaya is not responsible under this Amendment for any software, equipment, hardware or services that Distributor may have separately purchased apart from this Amendment or is re-using. Distributor is responsible to ensure that any such software, equipment or hardware is in good working order and compatible with the Cloud Software. This Section does not limit any warranty and/or support obligations Avaya may have elsewhere under any agreements with Distributor.
11. NON-PRODUCTION SOFTWARE
11.1. At its discretion and upon prior written notice, Avaya may provide, at no charge to Distributor, a defined number of Cloud Software licenses for a limited period of time (“Non-production Term”) solely for Distributor’s internal testing of such Cloud Software in a non-production environment or other noncommercial internal purposes (“Non-production Software”). Except as otherwise stated in this Section 11, Non-production Software will be governed by the Software license provision set out in Section 8, and will be subject to the restrictions detailed in the Avaya End User License. Without Avaya’s prior written consent, Distributor may not disclose the results of the Non-production Software use to any third party. Non-production Software licenses will expire automatically at the earlier of: (i) end of the Non-production Term; or (ii) at the time indicated in Avaya’s notice to Distributor. Distributor may not charge for any service using any Non-production Software.
11.2. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Avaya in writing, Non-production Software may not be installed, downloaded or otherwise made available for use by any Reseller or Cloud End User. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Avaya gives Distributor prior written approval to conduct a limited pilot using any Non-production Software that involves any Reseller and/or Cloud End User, Distributors shall, and to the applicable extent shall contractually obligate that Resellers shall: (i) not charge Resellers and, if applicable, Cloud End Users during such pilot; (ii) cause Resellers and, if applicable, Cloud End Users to comply with the terms at least as protective as the terms in this Amendment and, except as expressly altered in this Amendment, the Avaya End User License; (iii) upon Avaya’s request, enforce such terms against Resellers and contractually obligate Resellers to enforce such terms against Cloud End Users;; and (iv) cause Resellers and contractually obligate Resellers to cause Cloud End Users to immediately stop using the Non-production Software at the end of the Non-production Term or as notified by Avaya in accordance with Section 11.1. Any feedback or other suggestions provided by Distributor, Resellers or Cloud End Users to Avaya during or as a result of the use of any Non-production Software will become Avaya’s property and Distributor shall obtain and contractually require Reseller to obtain from Cloud End User, written consent to the foregoing from Reseller or Cloud End User, as applicable. Avaya may use such feedback at its discretion, including by assigning, licensing or otherwise transferring any products so changed or modified to third parties without obligation or recourse to Distributor.
11.3. By providing any Non-production Software that is not generally available (“Non-GA Software”), Avaya does not promise or guarantee that it will make any Non-GA Software generally available to anyone in the future. Avaya has the sole discretion to determine if any Non-GA Software will become generally available and no express or implied obligation to announce the general availability of any Non-GA Software or any similar or compatible product. Distributor’s, Reseller’s or Cloud End User’s access to any Non-GA Software will not be construed as Avaya’s acceptance of a Cloud Order for the generally available version of that Non-GA Software (if any).
11.4. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, NON-PRODUCTION SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR INDEMNIFICATION, AND AVAYA, ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS, STATUTORY, IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND/OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, [*****]. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 11.4 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED IN THIS AMENDMENT OR THE AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

At any time during the term of this Amendment Avaya may discontinue the sale or licensing of any generally available offering, Maintenance Services or Cloud Software, or modify generally available offerings, including the underlying Cloud Offer Definitions or Service Descriptions, without liability to Distributor, Reseller, Cloud End User or any other person or entity. Avaya shall notify Distributor in accordance with the then current discontinuation policy of such end of sale date or modification for any Maintenance Services, Cloud Software or generally available offering by posting the relevant information on Avaya’s web sites or by written notice to Distributor. Avaya’s current product lifecycle policy is located at http://support.avaya.com or a successor site as designated by Avaya from time to time.
14. TERM AND TERMINATION
14.1. Term of Amendment. This Amendment enters into force on the date last party signs it and remains in force for the duration of the Agreement, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.
14.2. Term of Cloud Orders. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Cloud Offer Definition or an accepted Cloud Order: (i) the initial Term of any Cloud Order will start on the Commencement Date and will end 12 months thereafter; and (ii) Cloud Orders will renew automatically for subsequent 12 month terms at Avaya’s then current price list for the relevant Cloud Software and related Maintenance Services and Minimum Commitment (if any), unless either party gives written notice to the other party of its intent not to renew no later than 90 days in advance of each anniversary of the Commencement Date. The Term of any subsequent Cloud Order will be co-terminous with the Term of the underlying initial Cloud Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cloud Orders may be terminated by Distributor in accordance with this Amendment, subject to Distributor’s payment of Early Termination Fees (if any).
14.3. Early Termination Fees. In case of an early termination of a Cloud Order, Distributor shall pay Avaya the Early Termination Fees set out in the applicable Cloud Offer Definition or Avaya’s quotation (if any), except that no Early Termination Fees will apply in relation to any Cloud Order terminated: (i) in accordance with Section 10.3; or (i) for Avaya’s uncured material breach in accordance with Section 14.5. Avaya may set off the Early Termination Fees against any amounts due by Avaya to Distributor under this Amendment or otherwise, subject to a written notification to Distributor.
14.4. Termination for convenience. Unless the applicable Cloud Offer Definition states otherwise: (i) Distributor may terminate any Cloud Order for its convenience by providing Avaya at least 3 months advance written notice of its intent to terminate, subject to Distributor’s payment of all Cloud Fees due up until the effective date of termination and the applicable Early Termination Fees (if any); and (ii) any such termination will be effective on the last day of the last month in the termination notice period. In case of an early termination by Distributor for its convenience, Avaya will be under no obligation to refund to Distributor any prepaid amounts.
14.5. Termination for breach. Subject to Section 8.8, either party may terminate this Amendment and/or any underlying Cloud Order by written notice to the other party, effective immediately upon receipt, if the other party fails to cure any material breach of this Amendment and/or Cloud Order within a 45 day period after having received a written notice from the non-breaching party detailing the breach and requesting the breach to be cured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Avaya may terminate this Amendment and/or any underlying Cloud Order by written notice to Distributor effective immediately upon receipt if Distributor has not provided Avaya with access to the Cloud Software or Monitoring Tools, whether remotely or on-site, as requested by Avaya, or has otherwise interfered with Avaya’s ability to correctly track the usage of Cloud Software or auditing Distributor’s or Cloud End User’s compliance with Avaya End User License.

14.6. Effects of termination. If this Amendment expires or terminates during the Term of any Cloud Order, the parties agree that, except as set forth in this Section, this Amendment will remain in effect solely for purposes of enabling the underlying Cloud Orders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination or expiry of this Amendment for an uncured material breach in accordance with Section 14.5 will be deemed to terminate all underlying Cloud Orders, unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing. Termination or expiry of any Cloud Order will be deemed to terminate all Cloud Software licenses granted under that Cloud Order. Upon termination or expiry of this Amendment for any reason, Distributor shall immediately and permanently destroy all copies of Cloud Software and any related materials, including Documentation, in Distributor’s possession or control and, upon Avaya’s request, certify such destruction in writing. Rights of termination under this Amendment will be without prejudice to any accrued rights or liabilities of either party to the other arising out of this Amendment. Unless otherwise agreed to by Avaya in writing, upon termination or expiry of this Amendment Distributor shall: (i) discontinue all use of the Licensed Trademarks in connection with the Cloud Software and related Maintenance Services; (ii) cease holding itself out in any manner as an authorized Avaya Cloud or CaaS service provider and notify and arrange for all persons who may identify, list or publish Distributor’s name as an authorized Avaya Cloud or CaaS service provider to discontinue such designation; and (iii) return to Avaya all promotional or other materials supplied by Avaya specifically in connection with the Cloud Software and this Amendment. Upon termination or expiry of this Amendment, Avaya may inform any and all Resellers and Cloud End Users that Distributor is no longer an authorized Avaya Cloud or CaaS service provider and may provide Resellers and/or Cloud End Users with alternative support options to transition to a new service. Provisions in this Amendment concerning ownership, indemnification, limitation of liability, termination, payments due, warranty disclaimers, notices, and any other terms which, by their nature, are intended to survive termination or expiry of this Amendment or a Cloud Order will survive such termination or expiry.
