In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, SunGard Financing will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(h), (x) indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files that all Receivables have been or will be conveyed to SunGard Funding II pursuant to this Agreement and (y) note in its accounting records that the Receivables have been sold to SunGard Funding II.

(ii) if on any Settlement Date, the Aggregate Second Step Purchase Price for the related Adjusted Monthly Period minus the aggregate amount of Second Step Purchase Price Credits for such Adjusted Monthly Period (such difference, the “Modified Aggregate Second Step Purchase Price”) exceeds the amount of cash payments received by SunGard Financing as provided herein for such Adjusted Monthly Period (such amount, the “Cash Payments”), SunGard Financing shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the extent it has not already done so, record such excess as an increase in the principal amount outstanding under the Second Step Intercompany Note (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 1.8(c)), and if any excess remains after giving effect to the permissible increase in the principal amount of the Second Step Intercompany Note, SunGard Financing may declare the Amortization Date to have occurred by delivering notice to that effect to SunGard Funding II and the Administrative Agent; and
(iii) if on any Settlement Date, the Cash Payments for the related Adjusted Monthly Period exceed the Modified Aggregate Second Step Purchase Price for such Adjusted Monthly Period, SunGard Financing shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, record the application of that excess, (x) first, to the payment of any unpaid and accrued interest on the Second Step Intercompany Note, (y) second, as a reduction in the principal amount of the Second Step Intercompany Note, and, (z) third, to the payment of any remaining excess to SunGard Funding II.

Section 1.6 Characterization. This agreement constitutes a “security agreement” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code that the parties intend provides for the “security interest” of a buyer of accounts under the Uniform Commercial Code. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1(b), any sale by SunGard Financing to SunGard Funding II of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a loan by SunGard Financing to SunGard Funding II and not a true sale of accounts or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement in respect of such loan under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law. SunGard Financing hereby grants to SunGard Funding II a security interest in all of SunGard Financing’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Assets existing and hereafter arising and all Records with respect thereto, and all proceeds of the foregoing, and the SunGard Financing Related Security to secure such loan, which security interest shall be prior to all other Liens. After the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, SunGard Funding II and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies specified in this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured party after default in a transaction which is a sale of accounts under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
Section 1.7 No Repurchase. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, SunGard Financing shall not have any right or obligation under this Agreement, by implication or otherwise, to repurchase from SunGard Funding II any Receivables or to rescind or otherwise retroactively affect any Purchase of any Receivable after it is sold to SunGard Funding II hereunder.
Section 1.8 Second Step Intercompany Note.
(a) On the date of the initial Purchase, SunGard Funding II shall issue to SunGard Financing, for its account, a note substantially in the form of Exhibit I (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Second Step Intercompany Note”). The aggregate principal amount of the Second Step Intercompany Note at any
time shall be equal to the difference between (i) the aggregate principal amount on the issuance thereof and each addition to the principal amount of the Second Step Intercompany Note with respect to SunGard Financing pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2(c)(iii) and Section 1.4 as of such time, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all payments made in respect of the principal of the Second Step Intercompany Note as of such time. All payments made in respect of the Second Step Intercompany Note shall be allocated, first, to pay accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and second, to pay the outstanding principal amount thereof. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Second Step Intercompany Note shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time from and including the date of issuance to but excluding the day on which it is paid in full and shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof, be paid (x) on each Settlement Date with respect to the principal amount of the Second Step Intercompany Note outstanding from time to time during the Adjusted Monthly Period immediately preceding such Settlement Date (but only to the extent SunGard Funding II has funds available to make such payment) and (y) on the maturity date thereof; provided, however, that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, accrued interest on the Second Step Intercompany Note which is not so paid shall be added to the principal amount of the Second Step Intercompany Note. Principal of the Second Step Intercompany Note not paid or prepaid pursuant to the terms thereof shall be payable on the maturity date thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payments to be made by SunGard Funding II in respect of the Second Step Intercompany Note shall be made solely from funds available to SunGard Funding II that are not otherwise required to be applied or set-aside for the payment of any obligations of SunGard Funding II under the Second Step Agreement, shall be non-recourse and shall not constitute a claim against SunGard Funding II to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment.
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, SunGard Funding II may not make any payment of any Second Step Purchase Price on any Purchase Date by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the Second Step Intercompany Note outstanding unless the aggregate principal amount of the Second Step Intercompany Note outstanding on such Purchase Date (after giving effect to all repayments thereof on or before such Purchase Date) would not exceed 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables on such Purchase Date.
