affiliates and controlling persons for certain matters described therein (the Funds, the Sponsor
and their respective principals, directors, officers, members, managers, partners, affiliates and
controlling persons, collectively, the “Sponsor Indemnified Parties”);
WHEREAS, one or more executives of the Sponsor or its affiliates may serve as a director or
member of the board of managers of one or more of the SunGard Companies and one or more other

WHEREAS, the SunGard Companies benefit from the portfolio company oversight provided by the

WHEREAS, each of the SunGard Companies and the Sponsor wish to clarify certain matters
regarding the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided under the Company
Indemnification Agreements and any Company Director Indemnity as it relates to the indemnification
and advancement of expenses provided for under the Sponsor Indemnification Agreements and regarding
portfolio company information.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the premises hereinafter set
forth, each of the SunGard Companies and the Sponsor hereby agree as follows:
1. Each SunGard Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of such SunGard
Company under either any Company Indemnification Agreements or any Company Director Indemnity to
indemnify or advance expenses to any Sponsor Director for the matters covered thereby shall be the
primary source of indemnification and advancement of such Sponsor Director in connection therewith
and any obligation on the part of any Sponsor Indemnitor under any Sponsor Indemnification
Agreement to indemnify or advance expenses to such Sponsor Director shall be secondary to such
SunGard Company’s obligation and shall be reduced by any amount that the Sponsor Director may
collect as indemnification or advancement from such SunGard Company. In the event that such SunGard
Company fails to indemnify or advance expenses to a Sponsor Director as required or contemplated by
any Company Indemnification Agreement or Company Director Indemnity (such amounts, the “Unpaid
Director Indemnity Amounts”) and any Sponsor Indemnitor makes any payment to or on behalf of
such Sponsor Director in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses under any Sponsor
Indemnification Agreement on account of such Unpaid Director Indemnity Amounts, then such Sponsor
Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the rights of such Sponsor Director under any Company
Indemnification Agreement or Company Director Indemnity, as the case may be, in respect of such
Unpaid Director Indemnity Amounts.
2. Each SunGard Company hereby agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
its obligation to indemnify Sponsor Indemnified Parties under the Company Indemnification
Agreements shall include any amounts expended by any Sponsor Indemnitor under the Sponsor
Indemnification Agreements in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses to any Sponsor
Director in connection with litigation or other proceedings involving his or her service as a
director or member of the board of managers of such SunGard Company to the extent such amounts
expended by such Sponsor Indemnitor are on account of any Unpaid Director Indemnity Amounts.
2
3. Each SunGard Company hereby agrees that it will not amend any Company Director Indemnity as
in effect on the date hereof to alter the rights of any Sponsor Director in any manner that would
alter any Sponsor Director’s rights with respect to conduct pre-dating the date of any such
amendment without the consent of the Sponsor.
4. Each SunGard Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the right to share confidential
information set forth in the first proviso of Section 11.10 of the Stockholders Agreement shall
also apply to the sharing by the Sponsor Directors of any information such Sponsor Directors
receive from the SunGard Companies.
5. To the maximum extent permitted or authorized by any Company Director Indemnity, no Sponsor
Director shall be liable to any SunGard Company, or to any shareholder, member or partner (or
equivalent) of any SunGard Company or to any party bringing any action by, on behalf of or in the
name or right of any SunGard Company, for any breach of fiduciary duty or other breach of duty.
6. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a
writing executed by the Sponsor and each of the SunGard Companies.
7. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto. Each Sponsor Indemnified Party that is not a party hereto shall be considered an
express third-party beneficiary hereunder and shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement to the
same extent as a party hereunder. The rights, indemnities and remedies herein provided are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, indemnities or remedies that any party or other
Sponsor Indemnified Party may otherwise have by contract, at law or in equity or otherwise,
provided that (i) to the extent that any Sponsor Indemnified Party is entitled to be
indemnified by any SunGard Company and by any other Sponsor Indemnified Party or any insurer under
a policy procured by any Sponsor Indemnified Party, the obligations of such SunGard Company
hereunder shall be primary and the obligations of such other Sponsor Indemnified Party or insurer
secondary and (ii) no SunGard Company shall be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or
subrogation against such other Sponsor Indemnified Party.
8. To the extent that any term or condition of this Agreement conflicts with any term or
condition under any other agreement or document to which any SunGard Company or any Sponsor
Indemnified Party or Sponsor Director is a party or by which any of them are otherwise bound with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control. Each SunGard Company hereby waives the right to enforce any rights under such other
agreement to the extent that such rights or remedies conflict with any rights, remedies or other
provisions hereunder.
9. This Agreement clarifies the parties’ understandings regarding the indemnification and
advancement rights and obligations under the Company Indemnification Agreements and any Company
Director Indemnity as it relates to the indemnification and advancement rights and obligations
under the Sponsor Indemnification Agreements. This Agreement does not expand, limit or otherwise
modify any such rights or obligations and any and all rights to indemnification and/or advancement
to which any Sponsor Director has ever
been, is or may in the future be entitled from any SunGard Company shall remain unchanged by
this Agreement.
3
10. No SunGard Company shall seek any order of a court or other governmental authority that
would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the performance of any other SunGard Company’s
advancement, indemnification and other obligations under this Agreement.
11. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws to the
extent such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
No suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any court or before
any similar authority other than in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, and
the parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of
such suit, proceeding or judgment. Each party irrevocably waives trial by jury in any legal action
or proceeding in relation to this Agreement and for any counterclaim therein.
12. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such
jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein.
13. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A signature of
a party transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means shall constitute an original for all
purposes.
