RECITALS
1. Each Subsidiary of the Performance Guarantor that is a Seller on the date hereof and that becomes a Seller from time to time (collectively, the “Sellers”) and Recipient have entered into or will enter into the SunGard Insured Receivables Facility First Step Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2005 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Step Agreement”), pursuant to which each Seller thereunder, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, is selling its right, title and interest in its Receivables, Seller Related Security and Collections thereof to Recipient.
2. Each Seller is a Subsidiary of Performance Guarantor and Performance Guarantor is expected to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the sale of Receivables, Seller Related Security and Collections thereof by the Sellers to the Recipient pursuant to the First Step Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged by the Performance Guarantor).
3. As an inducement for Recipient to purchase the Sellers’ Receivables, Seller Related Security and Collections pursuant to the First Step Agreement, Performance Guarantor has agreed to and wishes to guaranty to the Recipient the due and punctual performance by each Seller of its obligations under or in respect of the First Step Agreement and the Collection Agent Related Obligations (as hereinafter defined).
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, Performance Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the First Step Agreement, the Second Step Agreement, or Schedule A to the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used in Section 6 or in Section 9 hereof and not defined herein, in the First Step Agreement, in the Second Step Agreement, or in Schedule A to the Credit Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Senior Credit Agreement. In addition:
“Obligations” means, collectively, (i) all covenants, agreements, terms, conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by each Seller under and pursuant to the First Step Agreement and each other document executed and delivered by any Seller pursuant to the First Step Agreement, including, without limitation, the due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due and owing by any Seller under
the First Step Agreement, whether for fees, expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise, whether upon any termination or for any other reason and (ii) all obligations of any Person (1) that acts as or discharges the duties of the collection agent, or its permitted successors and assigns (the “Collection Agent”) under the Collection Agent Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2005, by and between Performance Guarantor, as initial Collection Agent, and Recipient (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Collection Agent Agreement” and, together with the First Step Agreement, the “Agreements”) and (2) which arise pursuant to the Collection Agent Agreement as a result of a Collection Agent’s termination as Collection Agent (all such obligations collectively, the “Collection Agent Related Obligations”).
Section 2. Guaranty of Performance of Obligations. Performance Guarantor hereby guarantees to Recipient, the full and punctual payment and performance by each Seller and Collection Agent of the Obligations. This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual performance of all of the Obligations of each Seller and Collection Agent under the Agreements and each other document executed and delivered by each Seller and Collection Agent pursuant to the Agreements and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Recipient first attempt to collect any amounts owing by such Seller or Collection Agent to Recipient, the Administrative Agent, Funding Agents, Conduit Lenders, Committed Lenders or the Insurer from any other Person or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account, intercompany payable or intercompany promissory note of any Seller or any Collection Agent, or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment. Should any Seller or Collection Agent default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Recipient (or its assigns) may cause the immediate performance by Performance Guarantor of the Obligations and cause any payment Obligations to become forthwith due and payable to Recipient (or its assigns), without demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Performance Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables and Performance Guarantor shall not be responsible for any Obligations to the extent that the failure to perform such Obligations by any Seller or Collection Agent results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; provided, that nothing herein shall relieve any Seller or Collection Agent from performing in full its Obligations under the Agreements or Performance Guarantor of its undertaking hereunder with respect to the full performance of such duties.
Section 3. Performance Guarantor’s Further Agreements to Pay. Performance Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Recipient (and its assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipient, all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by Recipient in connection with the Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal to the Base Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of interest changing from time to time when and as the Base Rate changes.

Section 4. Waivers by Performance Guarantor. Performance Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted by Recipient (or its assigns) in reliance on this Undertaking, and any requirement that Recipient (or its assigns) be diligent or prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of any Early Amortization Event (under and as defined in either of the First Step Agreement or the Collection Agent Agreement), Event of Default, other default or omission by any Seller or Collection Agent or asserting any other rights of Recipient under this Undertaking. Performance Guarantor warrants that it has adequate means to obtain from any Seller or Collection Agent, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of any Seller or Collection Agent, and that it is not relying on Recipient to provide such information, now or in the future. Performance Guarantor also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be available in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Recipient (and its assigns) shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Performance Guarantor and without relieving Performance Guarantor of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with each Seller and Collection Agent and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as Recipient (and its assigns) in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end Performance Guarantor agrees that the validity and enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 7 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Early Amortization Event (under and as defined in either of the First Step Agreement or the Collection Agent Agreement), Event of Default, or default with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any payment Obligations of any Seller or Collection Agent or any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking even though Recipient (or its assigns) might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the payment Obligations of any Seller or Collection Agent or to amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Performance Guarantor may have at any time against any Seller or Collection Agent in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of any Seller or Collection Agent to perform or comply with any term of the Agreements or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all whether or not Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 4.

Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any Seller or Collection Agent or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Seller or Collection Agent; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (c) the failure of any Seller or Collection Agent or Performance Guarantor to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from any Seller or Collection Agent for any other reason other than final payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Performance Guarantor. This Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Seller or Collection Agent or for any other reason with respect to any Seller or Collection Agent, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the Obligations under the terms of the Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Performance Guarantor.

No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the federal bankruptcy code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.
