• Modifications to Current Agreement The Current Agreement is amended as follows:

• Incremental Facilities (a) The Borrower may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x) additional tranches of term loans (the commitments thereto, the “New Term Loan Commitments”) and/or (y) increases in Revolving Credit Commitments (the “New Revolving Credit Commitments” and, together with the New Term Loan Commitments, the “New Loan Commitments”), by an aggregate amount not in excess of the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount in the aggregate and not less than $100,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as (x) may be approved by the Administrative Agent or (y) shall constitute the difference between the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount and all such New Loan Commitments obtained on or prior to such date). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may approach any Lender or any Person (other than a natural person) to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Loan Commitment. In each case, such New Loan Commitments shall become effective as of the applicable Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments, as applicable; (ii) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of New Term Loans or New Revolving Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 7 shall be satisfied; (iii) the New Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower and Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 5.4(d); (iv) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with the New Loan Commitments, as applicable; and (v) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated, a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that (A) if the use of proceeds of such New Loan Commitments is an acquisition or investment permitted under this Agreement, if agreed among the Borrower and the New Revolving Loan Lenders and/or New Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, customary “SunGard” limited conditionality shall apply to the effectiveness of such new Loan Commitments in lieu of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and if applicable, (v), above and (B) if such New Loan Commitments are being used to replace or refinance Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount (“Refinancing Commitments”), the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not apply.

• Refinancing Amendments In addition, notwithstanding Sections 10.5(a), (b) and (c), this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of any portion of the outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (ii) the Applicable Margin with respect to such Replacement Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Term Loans) shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing plus 0.50% per annum, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Term Loans) and (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

• Amendments to Financing Agreement Subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the Financing Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

• Refinancing Facilities (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (i) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which, for purposes of this clause (i), will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans and Other Term Loan Commitments) or (ii) all or any portion of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) under this Agreement (which, for purposes of this clause (ii), will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, as applicable, in each case, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (B) will have such pricing, fees, premiums, and interest or optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof, (C)(x) with respect to any Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) being refinanced and (y) with respect to any Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the then applicable Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced (other than to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated or reduced as a result of prepayments of such Term Loans), (D) any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments will share ratably in any voluntary and mandatory prepayments or repayments of Term Loans (unless the Lenders providing the Other Term Loans agree to participate on a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments or repayments), (E) will, in the case of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, provide that (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (i) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Other Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (ii) repayments required upon the maturity date of the Other Revolving Commitments and (iii) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Loans with respect to Other Revolving Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 to the extent dealing with Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exists Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Other Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Other Revolving Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class and (4) assignments and participations of Other Revolving Commitments and Other Revolving Loans be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans, (F) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and (G) will have terms and conditions that are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, to Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those applicable to the Refinanced Debt, taken as a whole, as determined in Holdings’ good faith judgment in consultation with the Administrative Agent (except for (A) covenants and events of default applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date in effect at the time of the incurrence or issuance of any such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or (B) unless the Borrowers enter into an amendment to this Agreement with the Administrative Agent (which amendment shall not require the consent of any other Lender) to add such more restrictive terms for the benefit of the Lenders). Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.26 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans or $5,000,000 in the case of Other Revolving Loans and (y) an integral multiple of the Dollar Amount of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, or the provision to the Borrowers of Swing Line Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments.

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application substantially on the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant (solely in the case of (w) and (x) that)), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000, (B) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (C) the aggregate LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not exceed the LC Sublimit of such Issuing Bank, (D) the Revolving Exposure of such Issuing Bank does not exceed its Revolving Commitments and (E) if a Defaulting Lender exists, either such Revolving Lender or the Borrower has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender.

• Refinancing of Swingline Loans (i) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

• Incremental Facility (a) At any time during the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may request from time to time from one or more existing Lenders or from other Eligible Assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Borrower (but subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b) below) that the Total Revolving Commitments be increased by an amount not to exceed the Available Revolving Increase Amount (each such increase, an “Increase”); provided that the Borrower may not request an Increase on more than three occasions during the Revolving Commitment Period. No Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Commitments in connection with a proposed Increase. The Administrative Agent shall invite each Lender to provide a portion of the Increase ratably in accordance with its Revolving Percentage of each requested Increase (it being agreed that no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Increase and that any Lender may elect to participate in such Increase in an amount that is less than its Revolving Percentage of such requested Increase or more than its Revolving Percentage of such requested Increase if other Lenders have elected not to participate in any applicable requested Increase in accordance with their Revolving Percentage) and to the extent, 5 Business Days after receipt of invitation, sufficient Lenders do not agree to provide the full amount of such Increase, then the Administrative Agent may invite any prospective lender that satisfies the criteria of being an “Eligible Assignee” to become a Lender in connection with the proposed Increase. Any Increase shall be in an amount of at least $5,000,000 (or, if the Available Revolving Increase Amount is less than $5,000,000, such remaining Available Revolving Increase Amount) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Increases to the Revolving Commitments exceed the Available Revolving Increase Amount during the term of the Agreement. Each request for an Increase delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent shall set forth the amount and proposed terms of the Increase.

If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

• Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.
