Should Licensor breach the foregoing undertaking and any affected Avaya Contract (i) enter into an arrangement with Licensor or another Distributor to obtain licenses and/or services similar to those provided under its contract(s) with Avaya, (ii) cease to utilize the rights, licenses and services purchased under its Avaya Contract for any reason or (iii) dramatically reduce its use of such rights, licenses or services for any reason, Licensor shall pay to Avaya, as liquidated damages in satisfaction of all claims and for all rights to proceed with any such transaction or arrangement, and not as a penalty, the sum derived by multiplying (a) the highest number of Licensed Product-enabled voice mailboxes that the Avaya Contract had licensed from Avaya or its Authorized Provider during any one (1) month over the previous two (2) years, times (b) the difference between the mailbox fee charged by Avaya to the Avaya Contract less the License Fee set forth in Schedule B that is applicable to such volume of voice mailboxes, times (c) twenty-four (24). Licensor shall pay the foregoing liquidated damages to Avaya in 24 equal monthly installments, with the first such installment to be on the last day of the month in which the events occurred that give rise to Avaya's entitlement to such damages.

In the event that Licensor offers any third party a Lower Price, Licensor shall immediately a) adjust the prices of the affected items so that all future Avaya purchases shall be at or below the Lower Price, b) with respect to Avaya purchases made of such items commencing on the day that Licensor offered the Lower Price to a third party, refund to Avaya the difference between what Avaya paid Licensor for each such item and the Lower Price for the item and c) in the event that the other party receiving the Lower Price secures sublicenses of Licensed Product that Avaya had sought to provide, Licensor shall pay Avaya fifty percent (50%) of the license fees that Licensor receives from this other party with respect to these sublicenses for a period of twelve (12) months, commencing with the calendar month after such sublicenses are secured by the other party. In the event that (b) of the first sentence of this paragraph is violated and the other party receiving the Lower Price secures sublicenses of Licensed Product that Avaya had sought to provide, Licensor shall pay to Avaya, as liquidated damages in satisfaction of all claims and for all rights to proceed with any such transaction or arrangement, and not as a penalty, Avaya fifty percent (50%) of the license fees that Licensor receives from this other party with respect to these sublicenses for a period of twelve (12) months, commencing with the calendar month after such sublicenses are secured by the other party. Licensor shall pay the foregoing liquidated damages to Avaya in 12 monthly installments, with the first such installment to be on the last day of the calendar month after the events occurred that give rise to Avaya's entitlement to such damages.
Avaya shall have the right, once every six months, upon ten (10) days written notice (and in no event during the final ten days business days of Licensor's fiscal quarter), to have a mutually acceptable nationally recognized accounting firm audit Licensor's records reasonably related to its obligations under this Section 19, at Avaya's expense.

Nothing herein shall alter the limitation on Licensor's liability set forth in the section entitled "Limitation of Liability". In the event Avaya decides to exercise its rights under this Section 20, Avaya shall notify in writing Licensor of its intent to do so and Licensor shall have 10 days to either accept or dispute in writing Avaya's rights hereunder. In the event that Licensor disputes Avaya's right to set off hereunder, the parties agree to go to arbitration pursuant to the terms of Section 26F hereunder. Until a final decision has been reached in the arbitration, Licensor agrees that it will not declare Avaya in breach for its failure to pay any of the disputed amounts pursuant to the terms of Section 25. In the event the final judgment of the arbitration is that Avaya is not entitles to set off under this Section 20, Avaya shall pay Licensor any outstanding disputed amounts within seven (7) days of the date of the arbitration judgment.

An easy-to-use Web user interface with role-based security facilitates administrative management and provisioning. System administrators use the Web user interface to create and maintain administrative users, trunks, channels, DID numbers and general system settings.

Message Waiting Indication via ***
Transmission of SMDI information for message waiting indication is carried over the ***, rather than by *** and ***. Advantages to this configuration include:
- Guaranteed reliable delivery to the ***, which is co-located with the switch, minimizes errors in message waiting indicators caused by noise on ***
- Removal of *** requirements eliminates recurring expenses for message waiting indication services
Provisioning
UCN 200 facilitates high performance provisioning via the External Mailbox Interface (EMI), a state of the art *** interface.
The External Mailbox Interface can be integrated with existing real-time and batch provisioning systems, eliminating the need to re-train administrative users on a new system. All EMI commands are reported for auditing purposes and can be encrypted.
Subscriber Migration Support
The UCN 200 has extended its provisioning interface to facilitate the migration of subscribers, mailboxes, and associated data from other platforms. Migration data includes subscriber and mailbox settings, voice and fax messages, comments, greetings, and distribution lists. UCN 200's subscriber telephone user interfaces and Help guides can be customized to emulate those from the previous platform.
Migrations and feature bundle customizations can be performed with an in-service UCN 200 system, allowing for gradual transition from legacy platforms with minimal subscriber impact.
Reporting
UCN 200 produces a comprehensive data export that can be used to generate billing for system resource usage, and create custom reports using third-party tools or in-house report writing expertise.
Data exports include:
- Mailbox activity data, which provides a detailed view of all of the activities that take place within subscribers' accounts
- System snapshot information, which provides a view of the various mailbox and subscriber settings within the system
- Administrative user activity, which provides records of all administrative activities, including File Transfer Mechanism and External Mailbox Interface actions
- SNMP support for specific services and nodes
- Fax, channel and disk/resource usage
SMS and Pager Gateway Integration
By using subscriber configurable email addresses, UCN 200 will integrate with the service provider's SMS and/or paging gateways to deliver appropriate notifications and pager outcalls.
Multi-Language Support
UCN 200 has multi-language Unicode support for subscriber interfaces. Languages can be added to systems and enabled as part of feature bundles.
Subscriber Features
The comprehensive set of subscriber features on UCN 200 enables a gradual, non-disruptive migration of current subscribers from legacy voice mail systems. Subscribers will enjoy their current voice mail features - plus the opportunity to purchase exciting new enhanced messaging services such as Fax Mail, Real-Time Call Connect and Unified Communications. See the UCN 200 Template Feature Bundles table in the Appendix for more information.
Real-Time Call Connect
UCN 200 provides subscribers with the ability to direct and manage their calls quickly and easily through both telephone and Web user interfaces. Subscribers with real-time call connect features can do the following:
- Set up and maintain numbers for multiple communication devices (office telephone, home telephone, mobile, etc)
- Direct calls to an easily modified Follow Me list
Call Announce
Call announce gives subscribers control over how their calls will be handled when others, such as receptionists or family members, have access to phones to which their calls are directed.
Call Screening
Call screening allows the subscriber to hear the caller's name before accepting or redirecting an incoming caller to their mailbox.
Message Waiting Indication
The UCN 200 triggers a message waiting indicator to notify subscribers of one or more unheard voice and/or broadcast messages in their mailbox. Message waiting indication can be made available on a mailbox by mailbox basis. Subscribers with message waiting indication can enable or disable it via the telephone and Web user interfaces.
Subscriber User Interfaces
The telephone user interface allows subscribers to retrieve and manage their voice and fax messages via any touch-tone telephone. Subscribers also use this interface to manage their mailbox settings and record their greetings.
The telephone user interface supports passcode protection. However, if they prefer ease of access, subscribers can enable 'passcode skip' to access their mailbox directly. See the Telephone User Interface in the Appendix for more information.
UCN 200's easy-to-use Web user interface is accessible via any computer with Internet access. This secure interface supports numeric passcodes, lock out after a specified number of unsuccessful login attempts, login expiry periods and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support. See the Sample Web User interface Screens in the Appendix for more information.
System Architecture
The UCN 200 design minimizes system cost while maximizing scalability, availability, security and deployment flexibility. Open architecture and industry standard protocols facilitate interoperation with existing network elements, including operational and business support systems.
The system, which uses commercial off the shelf hardware, is typically distributed across a series of nodes. Each node performs specific roles:

Figure 1: System Overview
Scalability
UCN 200 supports a range of deployment sizes, from small systems with a minimal number of subscribers to carrier grade systems hosting in excess of 300,000 subscribers, or 1,900 channels, on a single system. Larger scale deployments can be achieved through the use of multiple systems.
Regardless of deployment size, the UCN 200 meets service provider and end user performance expectations.
Availability
Deploy an available system using UCN 200 and hardware that incorporates reliability features such as data mirroring through RAID, redundant power supplies and ECC RAM. Configure UCN 200 to benefit from numerous embedded safeguards that ensure availability, including:
- Fault tolerance and load balancing
- Deployment of critical services in redundant configurations
- Low Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) through the UCN 200 software's self-restarting ability
- Industry standard SNMP-based monitoring and alerting, allowing for the prevention of service-affecting faults
Deployment Flexibility
Flexible system architecture allows system configuration flexibility, thereby easing integration with existing infrastructure. Using distributed telephony architecture, a single system can provide local calling area mailbox numbers throughout multiple geographic locations. In such cases, long distance calls are made with trunks appropriate to the caller's local calling area, ensuring that correct billing information is collected. Furthermore, the system can be structured to either a centralized equipment location or across a wide area network with remote telephony nodes to minimize PRI backhaul costs.
Security
System security has been integrated on numerous levels to address a wide range of risks, including message eavesdropping, website defacement and system compromise. The following security features have been incorporated into the system design:
- Industry standard password hash mechanisms
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
- Current industry recommendations and best practices for operating system and application software security settings
- Administrative account password restrictions
- Layered security approach throughout the system, when deployed in an appropriate environment
- Secure single sign on support for portal integrations
- Audit trail for administrative users
- Detailed mailbox activity reports
Service Provider Support
Voice Mobility's Service Provider Support Team is dedicated to delivering the best customer service available, including comprehensive training, and system integration and technical support.
Technical consultants offer support for pre-sales, system design, installation configuration and technical staff.
Comprehensive UCN 200 on-site training includes:
- Tier 1 course for trainers and front-line support staff, including how to provision accounts, and assist subscribers with account set up and system use.
- Tier 2 course for trainers and designated administrators, including instruction in the principles of enhanced messaging, system architecture, administration and maintenance.
Uninterrupted service is essential for satisfying subscribers and maximizing revenue. Peace of mind is assured with Voice Mobility's 24-hour telephone technical support, 7 days a week.
UCN 200's comprehensive set of features enables the gradual migration of subscribers from legacy voice mail systems to UCN 200, where they can then be upgraded to new enhanced messaging services.
This appendix includes detailed information about features available in the five configurable template feature bundles. It also includes the subscriber Telephone Map and sample subscriber Web user interface screens for the Unified Communications template feature bundle.

SECTION 14 - DISPUTE RESOLUTION
14.1 Escalation Procedure. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives who shall have sufficient authority to sign a binding settlement agreement. If the dispute has not been resolved by negotiation within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the complaining party's notice of a dispute ("Receipt of Notice"), or if the parties fail to meet within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of notice, the parties shall endeavour to settle the dispute by arbitration before a single arbitrator appointed under the Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia). The arbitration shall be held in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, or such other place as the parties may agree. No depositions will be taken. All discoveries will be completed, and the arbitration hearing will be commenced, within forty-five (45) calendar days after appointment of the arbitrator, and the arbitration hearing will conclude within thirty (30) calendar days after it commences. The arbitrator will make every effort to enforce these timing requirements strictly, but may extend the time periods upon a showing that exceptional circumstances require extension to prevent manifest injustice The decision of the arbitrator will be rendered in writing and will explain the reasons therefore. The arbitrator may render awards of monetary damages, direction to take or refrain from taking action, or both. The arbitrator shall award the prevailing party its costs incurred in connection with the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys fees. The arbitrator may not modify the terms of this Agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and enforcement, as the law of such jurisdiction may require or allow. The procedures specified in this Subsection shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, provided, however, that a party, without prejudice to the above procedures, may file a complaint for statute of limitations or venue reasons, or to seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional judicial relief without the necessity of posting bond, if in its sole judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo. Despite such action the parties will continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this Subsection. All applicable statutes of limitation and defences based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in this Subsection are pending. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.
14.2 Continued Performance. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and other than the specific subject matter of the dispute, the Parties shall continue the performance of their obligations during the resolution of any dispute or disagreement, including during any period of arbitration, unless and until this Agreement is terminated or expires in accordance with its terms.
14.3 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Subsection, each Party shall retain the right and nothing shall prevent either Party from seeking immediate injunctive relief if, in its business judgment, such relief is necessary to protect its interests prior to utilizing or completing the dispute resolution processes described in Subsection 13.1, including without limitation, in respect of a claim by a Party based on a breach of the confidentiality obligations herein.

(a) "approved hardware list" means a list of computer hardware devices attached as Schedule D to this Agreement, which have been tested and found suitable for the purpose of hosting the Licensed Software.
(b) "New Release" means enhancements or modifications to the Licensed Software or new modules or supplementary modules that function in conjunction with the Licensed Software, that materially improves the utility, efficiency, functional capability or application of the Licensed Software, and which VMI has decided to make available to its customers only for an additional charge.
(c) "non-standard hardware" means computer hardware devices not included on the approved hardware list.
(d) "Software Error" means any software instruction or statement contained in or absent from the Licensed Software, which, by its presence or absence, prevents the Licensed Software from operating in accordance with VMI's published specifications.
(e) "software update" means enhancements, extensions or other modifications to the Licensed Software designed to correct software errors.
(f) "Software Support Period" means the period of 365 days commencing on the date the Licensed Software has been accepted in accordance with Subsection 7.5 of this Agreement.
(g) "3rd party software" means software not produced by VMI.
2.1 The obligations of VMI under this Schedule only apply during the Software Support Period.
3. Suitability of Licensed Software
3.1 The Licensee agrees that they have fully researched the Licensed Software and have determined that it is, in its present form, suitable for their purpose. They further agree that they have fully disclosed their intended use of the Licensed Software to VMI, and that they understand that it may not be possible to alter the Licensed Software from its present form to meet an undisclosed purpose and that VMI's inability to perform such alterations does not constitute grounds to set aside this Agreement.
4.1 Schedule D to this Agreement details the computer hardware systems that the Licensed Software is designed to operate on and as such are designated as approved hardware. The Licensee warrants that the Licensed Software will only be installed on approved hardware, and that they will take all reasonable precautions to prevent non-standard hardware from being introduced into the system.
4.2 The Licensee agrees that VMI will not support issues with the Licensed Software that arise from an installation on a system containing non-standard hardware.
5. Licensed Software Installation
5.1 The Licensee understands that the Licensed Software is designed to function on a stand-alone system configuration, and that introducing 3rd party software applications into the same system configuration may affect the Licensed Software's performance. Accordingly, the Licensee warrants that they will install the Licensed Software on computer systems dedicated to hosting the Licensed Software and will ensure that no other software applications are installed on that same computer system. The Licensee agrees that VMI will not provide support on issues that arise due to the installation of 3rd party software by Licensee.
5.2 The Licensee further warrants that the Licensed Software will be installed in the manner documented by VMI, and that such installation will be performed by VMI certified technical support personnel.
5.3 VMI recognizes that from time to time service packs, upgrades, patches, etc may become available for the operating system and supporting applications of the approved computer systems on which the Licensed Software is installed. VMI will make every effort to test these for compatibility with the Licensed Software and will advise the Licensee when they may be installed. The Licensee agrees that VMI will not provide support for the Licensed Software if the Licensee installs any service packs, upgrades, patches, etc that have not been tested and certified for use with the Licensed Software. The installation of these service packs, upgrades and patches, once certified, must be installed by VMI certified technical support personnel.
6.1 Any failure of the Licensed Software to operate in accordance with VMI's published specifications may be reported by the Licensee to VMI during the Software Support Period. The Licensee may report failures either in writing or by telephone or other remote communication. Upon receipt of a report of a failure from Licensee, VMI shall use all reasonable efforts to provide the Licensee with a permanent correction of the Software Error that caused the failure or, at VMI's option, with a software patch or by-pass around the Software Error as a temporary correction. The response time of the correction will be minimized to the best of VMI's abilities and will be prioritized with consideration of the severity of the error and the level of impact to the end user service. Reported issues shall receive a response within 2 hours of the time VMI receives the report. At a minimum, any such software patch or by-pass shall cause the Licensed Software to meet VMI's published specifications for the Licensed Software. Although VMI shall use all reasonable efforts to provide permanent corrections for all Software Errors, Licensee acknowledges that certain Software Errors may not be permanently corrected by VMI under this Agreement. All Software Error corrections, whether temporary or permanent, shall become part of the Licensed Software and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Licensee's license with respect to the Licensed Software.
6.2 If Licensee reports a Software Error to VMI, Licensee shall give VMI reasonable access to the computer system on which the Licensed Software resides, and shall provide such information as VMI may reasonably request, including sample output and other diagnostic information, in order to permit VMI to expeditiously correct the Software Error.
6.3 Software Errors and support issues reported to VMI that can be resolved by the client using information derived from documentation or training content are subject to charges by VMI as outlined in Schedule B.
7.1 The Licensee recognizes that the Licensed Software and its supporting computer hardware form a complex system that requires special knowledge and training to operate and maintain. The Licensee agrees that only those personnel who have been certified by VMI to support the system will be permitted to do so.
8.1 VMI shall provide Licensee remote access to VMI's personnel, to help the Licensee in answering questions with respect to the Licensed Software during VMI business hours. The Licensee's access to the VMI's personnel shall include both telephone access and access by means of VMI's electronic mail service, if and when made available by VMI, provided, however, that all costs incurred by Licensee in the use of telephone and terminal equipment shall be the responsibility of Licensee.
8.2 By notice in writing to VMI, the Licensee shall appoint a user representative or representatives who shall be the only individuals entitled to access the support line on behalf of Licensee. Such representatives must be technical support staff certified by VMI to support and administer the Licensed Software. The Licensee may change any such appointment by advance written notice to VMI.
