| 19. | ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION |
19.1 Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement, its interpretation or enforcement shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association conducted by one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted at Avaya’s offices at 000 Xx. Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

However, in the event such section or clause is considered an essential element of this Agreement by either Avaya or Reseller, the parties shall promptly negotiate a replacement therefore.

| 2.0 | APPOINTMENT FOR ENTERPRISE COMMUNICATION AND INTERNETWORKING SOLUTIONS PRODUCT |
2.1 For Resale of EC Products Only: Avaya hereby authorizes Reseller to purchase Avaya EC Products from EC Products Distributor, for resale to End User customers only who are within Reseller’s Area.
For Resale of IS Products Only: Avaya hereby authorizes Reseller to purchase from Avaya IS Products from IS Products Distributor(s), for resale to End User customers only who are within Reseller’s Area.
Reseller’s authorized marketing location(s) are set forth in the Appendix 1. If End User to which Reseller has sold Avaya EC Products within the Area has locations outside the Area but within the Territory, then Reseller may sell limited quantities of Avaya EC Products for use by that End User outside the Area but in the Territory. With that exception, reseller shall not market or sell Avaya EC Products outside Reseller’s Area. Avaya’s authorization is predicated on Reseller’s agreement to market the Avaya Products in the Area and to achieve the Area forecast submitted pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Master Terms and Conditions. Avaya EC Products installed outside the Area will not be considered by Avaya when determining whether Reseller has achieved its annual commitment submitted pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Master Terms and Conditions. Reseller’s sales of Avaya EC Products outside the Area (unless specifically permitted by this Section 2.1), Reseller’s failure to achieve levels of sales acceptable to Avaya in the Area shall, among others, be grounds for termination or non-renewal of the Agreement.
2.2 Unless expressly provided elsewhere within this Agreement, Reseller may not market or sell Avaya Products to any office, department, agency, or defense installation of the United States Government except that Reseller may respond to a request for competitive bids, proposals, or quotations even if Avaya is also responding.

| 3.0 | SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF RESELLER FOR AVAYA ENTERPRISE COMMUNICATION AND INTERNETWORKING SOLUTIONS PRODUCT |
3.1 All services training that Avaya requires Reseller personnel to undergo, or other services training requested by the Reseller and offered by Avaya, will be furnished to Reseller at Avaya’s standard rates, terms and conditions. If Reseller has subcontracted with Avaya to perform all or part of Reseller Service to an End User and Reseller installs unused product (s) manufactured by Avaya but not purchased from the BusinessPartner Sales Organization (“BPSO”) as part of that End User’s system, in addition to any other remedies available to Avaya, Avaya may terminate any Reseller licenses to use Avaya maintenance software and also terminate its subcontracts with Reseller to perform Reseller Service. If Reseller has sold an Avaya Product system and an Avaya Post-Warranty Maintenance service contract to an End User, Reseller will advise such End User that addition of used and unused product (s) to the Avaya Product system may void Avaya’s warranty and cause Avaya to terminate the service contract.
3.2 Except when requested by the End-User customer within ninety (90) days prior to expiration of its Avaya Service agreement, without any prior solicitation from Reseller, Reseller may not seek to or assist any third party in replacing, interfering with or substituting any pre-existing Avaya Service agreement entered into with an End-User customer. Any act of interference by a Reseller with an existing Avaya Service agreement shall be a material breach of this Agreement. Reseller will not market or resell a third party’s services in support of an Avaya Product where Avaya has a preexisting Services agreement during the term of this Agreement.
3.3 Reseller shall offer to train those End Users who elect to install their own systems in the effective use of the Avaya Products, including providing any instructional material furnished to Reseller by Avaya. Reseller shall specifically describe to those End Users who elect to install their own systems the sections of such material, including brochures and manuals packaged with the Avaya Products, that describe toll fraud and the precautions an End User can take to prevent toll fraud.
3.4 If Avaya is to install the Products, Reseller shall give requested information, to the Avaya services organization where the End User is located, in the agreed format, as soon as Reseller’s order process is completed. This will enable the customer to receive the Avaya Warranty on the new Avaya Products and Software, and if the customer has an Avaya post warranty service maintenance contract and has like products, the new Avaya Products will automatically be added to that contract when the Warranty expires.
| 4.0 | INSTALLATION, WARRANTY AND POST-WARRANTY SERVICES (for EC Products only) |
This section 4.0 applies only to EC Products authorized by Product Appendix or Addendum to this Product Group Attachment:
4.1 Avaya agrees to furnish any Avaya Services required by End Users purchasing Avaya Products from Reseller, as Reseller requests, until Reseller’s installation and maintenance personnel have completed training required under Section 4.2 of the Master Terms and Conditions, to the satisfaction of Avaya. During such interim period, Reseller agrees to propose only Avaya Services or those of an Authorized Avaya Service provider in connection with each End User purchase of Avaya Products under this Agreement. Once Reseller has completed the necessary training, any installation, warranty or post-warranty Services required by End Users may be furnished by Reseller. To ensure the provision of high quality installation and post-warranty Services to End Users, Reseller shall: (i) perform Services directly and not, unless expressly authorized in writing by Avaya, through a non-Avaya authorized independent contractor or agent; (ii) be adequately trained; and (iii) perform such Services competently and in accordance with any applicable Avaya standards. The indemnity obligations of Reseller under Section 14.1 of the Master Terms and Conditions shall apply to any Services furnished by Reseller to End Users. Reseller may offer Avaya’s installation and post warranty Services to Reseller’s End Users at Avaya’s then current rates terms and conditions.
4.2 Replacement, spare or maintenance Product Components required by Reseller, to the extent that Avaya in its sole discretion makes such Product Components available, can be purchased either directly from Distributor pursuant to this Agreement or through Avaya’s National Parts Sales Center (NPSC). In the event Reseller elects to purchase such Product Components from the NPSC, such purchases shall be at the prices, terms and conditions established by the NPSC. Replacement, spare and maintenance Product Components provided to Reseller or purchased by Reseller under this Agreement may, at Avaya’s option, be either new or refurbished.
4.3 Avaya’s appointment of Reseller to market Avaya Products hereunder is predicated on Reseller’s agreement that it will hold itself out as authorized by Avaya to provide Services only as to Avaya Products hereunder and will, to the sole satisfaction of Avaya, clearly distinguish its authorization to provide Services for such Avaya Products and its lack of authorization to provide Services for other Avaya-manufactured equipment. Reseller also agrees to inform End Users of such distinction in Reseller’s marketing (including brochures or other printed or written materials) of Avaya Products and of any other Avaya equipment. In addition to any other events of termination set forth in this Agreement, Reseller’s failure to distinguish between its authorization to offer Services as to Avaya Products and its lack of authorization to offer Services as to other Avaya equipment or to inform End Users of such distinction shall entitle Avaya to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Reseller.
2
4.4 Reseller may incorporate Avaya Services support features in its Reseller Service Offers to End Users. Avaya will serve as Reseller’s subcontractor for such Avaya Services. No license is granted, and no title or other ownership rights in Avaya’s intellectual property related to Avaya’s provision of Avaya Services support shall pass to Reseller under this Agreement or as a result of any performance hereunder. Reseller agrees to provide Avaya with accurate information on End User port capacity, software attachments, and other information required in order for Avaya to invoice Reseller accurately for such remote support. Failure to provide such accurate information or to update it on a timely basis shall entitle Avaya to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Reseller. Connection of unused product(s) manufactured by Avaya but not purchased from BPSO as part of an End User’s system may, in addition to any other remedies available to Avaya, permit Avaya to terminate any Reseller licenses to use Avaya maintenance software and also to terminate all its subcontract (s) with Reseller to perform Reseller Service.
| 5.0 | PRODUCT, PRODUCT COMPONENTS, AND SOFTWARE LICENSE CHANGES |
5.1 Avaya may without the consent of Reseller, but with thirty (30) days advance written notice to Reseller, delete any Avaya Product or Product Component from any Product Appendix.
| 6.0 | RESELLER FORECAST AND REPORTS |
6.1 Upon execution of this Agreement and annually thereafter, Reseller shall submit to Avaya a monthly and quarterly forecast of total Avaya Product orders to be placed by Reseller during the next twelve months, the “annual commitment”. The annual commitment must specify, for each month and quarter, the total unit quantities of each Avaya Product construct (i.e., average configuration of Avaya Product Components in an initial End User installation of an Avaya Product model) to be ordered.
6.2 Avaya may reject any annual commitment submitted by Reseller if, in Avaya’s sole judgment, such commitment does not project either: (1) the level of Avaya Product orders Avaya reasonably requires of Reseller to achieve its marketing objectives in the Area; or (2) a realistic assessment of Reseller’s potential successful marketing opportunities in the Area during the forecast period. Avaya shall notify Reseller in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of Reseller’s forecast if Avaya has rejected such forecast or it will be deemed to have been accepted by Avaya.
6.3 Reseller shall submit the annual commitment of Avaya Product orders as specified in Section 6.1 of this Attachment, and actual Avaya Product installation data specified in Section 3.4 of this Attachment and Sections 4.10.1 and 4.10.2 of the Master Terms and Conditions, in a format specified by Avaya.
| 7.0 | TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT |
7.1 In addition to the termination conditions in the Reseller Master Terms and Conditions, Avaya may terminate this Attachment or the Agreement upon twenty-four (24) hours upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(a) if Reseller breaches or otherwise violates any of the provisions under Sections 2.1, 3.2, 4.3, and 4.4 of this Attachment, and Reseller fails to cure such breach or violation within five (5) days after notice of such breach or violation is given to Reseller; or
(b) if Reseller has remotely accessed PBX locations maintained by Avaya directly.
Reseller agrees that by executing this Product Group Attachment, it is bound by the terms and conditions of the Master Terms and Conditions, the terms and conditions contained in the Product Group Attachment, and any additional terms and conditions set forth in a Product Appendix associated with those Products, which Reseller has been authorized to sell.
