Item 8.01 Other Events.

Avaya Inc. (the “Company”) is a party to a Credit Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2007, by and among the Company, as parent borrower, the several subsidiary borrowers party thereto, Avaya Holdings Corp. (f/k/a Sierra Holdings Corp.), Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent and swing line lender, Citibank, N.A., as L/C Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto (the “ABL Facility”).

The ABL Facility provides senior secured revolving financing, including borrowing capacity for the issuance of letters of credit, of up to $335 million, subject to availability under a borrowing base. Borrowings under the ABL Facility are due and payable on October 25, 2013. At March 31, 2011, there were no borrowings under the ABL Facility and $72 million of letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business under the ABL Facility, resulting in remaining availability of $205 million.

Effective June 8, 2011, the Company received commitments (subject to customary closing conditions) from certain existing lenders and other financial institutions to either extend the final maturity of the entire aggregate principal amount of the commitments under the ABL Facility to October 2016 or to provide a replacement senior secured multi-currency asset-based revolving credit facility that will mature in October 2016 in the same aggregate principal amount with the same interest rates and fees and having substantially the same terms as the ABL Facility.

The Company is party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2011, by and among the Company, as borrower, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Cash Flow Facility”).

The Cash Flow Facility consists of (a) a senior secured multi-currency revolver allowing for borrowings of up to $200 million, and (b) senior secured term loans, of which $3,643 million of remaining face value was outstanding as of March 31, 2011, consisting of $1,457 million senior secured term B-1 loans and $2,186 million senior secured term B-3 loans. The senior secured multi-currency revolver under the Cash Flow Facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and swingline loans and is available in Euros in addition to dollars. As of March 31, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under the senior secured multi-currency revolver.

Effective June 8, 2011, the Company has received commitments (subject to customary closing conditions) from certain existing lenders and other financial institutions to either extend the final maturity of the entire aggregate principal amount of the commitments under the senior secured multi-currency revolver under the Cash Flow Facility to October 2016 or to provide new revolving credit commitments under the Cash Flow Facility that will mature in October 2016 in the same aggregate principal amount with the same interest rates and fees and having substantially the same terms as the Company’s existing senior secured multi-currency revolver.
