(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.5, to the extent that the sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery or attempted sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery to Purchaser of any Purchased Asset would result in a violation of any applicable Law, would require any consent or waiver of any Governmental Body or third party and such consent or waiver shall not have been obtained prior to the Asset Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery, or an attempted sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery thereof if any of the foregoing would constitute a breach of applicable Law, any Contract or the rights of any third party; provided, however, that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in ARTICLE VIII, the Asset Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of such required authorization. Following the Asset Closing, the Company and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain promptly such consent or waiver; provided, further, that the Company, Purchaser nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any consideration therefor. Once such consent or waiver is obtained, the Company shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, sell, assign, transfer, convey and license such Purchased Asset to Purchaser for no additional consideration.
(b) To the extent that any Purchased Asset cannot be provided to Purchaser following the Asset Closing pursuant to this Section 2.4, Purchaser and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to each other the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, operational equivalent of obtaining such consent or waiver and the performance by Purchaser of its obligations thereunder. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall hold in trust for and pay to Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof, such Purchased Assets and all income, proceeds and other monies received by the Company and its Subsidiaries to the extent related to any such Purchased Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.4. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to set off against such amounts all direct costs associated with the retention and maintenance of such Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Section 2.4 applies to any consent or waiver required under any Competition Laws, which consents and waivers shall be governed exclusively by Section 7.6 of the Merger Agreement.
2.5 Novation and Assignment.
(a) Each of the Company and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or to cause to be obtained any consent, substitution or amendment required to novate (including with respect to any federal governmental contract) or assign all rights and obligations under Assumed Contracts and other obligations or liabilities of any nature whatsoever that constitute the Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that, in any case, Purchaser will be solely responsible for such rights and Assumed Liabilities from and after
17
the Asset Closing Date, provided, however, that no Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom such consents, substitutions and amendments are requested.
(b) If either the Company or its Subsidiaries is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, release, substitution or amendment, (i) the Company shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, continue to be bound by such Assumed Contracts and other obligations and, (ii) unless not permitted by the terms thereof or applicable Law, Purchaser shall, as agent or subcontractor for the Company or such Subsidiary, pay, perform and discharge fully, or cause to be paid, transferred or discharged, all the obligations or other Liabilities of the Company or such Subsidiary thereunder from and after the Asset Closing Date (except to the extent expressly otherwise provided herein). The Company shall, without further consideration, pay and remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to Purchaser promptly all money, rights and other consideration received by it or its Subsidiaries in respect of such performance. If and when any such consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Company shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, thereafter assign, or cause to be assigned, all its rights, obligations and other liabilities thereunder to Purchaser without receipt of further consideration and Purchaser shall, without the payment of any further consideration, assume such rights and obligations.
(c) To the extent reasonably required in order to perfect the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s chain of title to the Registered Transferred Business Intellectual Property as recorded at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), the United States Copyright Office, any domain name registrar, or a corresponding office of the foregoing in a foreign country, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request the Seller Parties shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts (but not including payment or the transfer of other consideration to any third party) to provide, obtain, or cause to be obtained, documents sufficient to evidence and record the chain of title conferring ownership of such Registered Transferred Business Intellectual Property in the Purchaser or an entity designated by Purchaser in a form suitable for recordation with the USPTO, the United States Copyright Office, any domain name registrar, or a corresponding office in a foreign country, and to provide said documents to the Purchaser for filing and recordation by it, or, in the sole discretion of the Company, to record, or to cause to be recorded, said documents.
ARTICLE III
PURCHASE PRICE AND ASSET CLOSING
3.1 Purchase Price.
(a) The purchase price in respect of the purchase and sale transactions hereunder shall be (i) an amount in cash equal to the sum of the following (such amount, the “Purchase Price”): (x) $750,000,000 (as adjusted by Section 3.1(b), the “Base Purchase Price”), plus (y) the amount (if any) by which the SMS Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the SMS Target Net
18
Working Capital, minus (z) the amount (if any) by which the SMS Closing Net Working Capital is less than the SMS Target Net Working Capital and (ii) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.
(b) The Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted so as to equal the Fair Market Value (reduced by taking into account the Assumed Liabilities), which shall be determined as follows:
(i) Promptly after the date hereof, SunGard Data and Parent shall retain the Independent Appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value. The Independent Appraiser shall be directed to promptly, and in any event no later than thirty (30) Business Days after the date hereof, render its preliminary written determination of the Fair Market Value. The report setting forth such preliminary determination shall (i) be prepared without regard to Section 3.1(c), (ii) be prepared based on financial information provided by Parent and SunGard Data and (iii) be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to SunGard Data and Parent, and shall contain such supplemental documentation and preliminary analyses as reasonably requested by either Party.
(ii) SunGard Data and Parent shall enter into a customary engagement letter with, and to the extent necessary each Party to this Agreement will waive, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its controlling Affiliates to waive, any conflicts with, the Independent Appraiser at the time the Independent Appraiser is retained and shall cooperate with the Independent Appraiser in connection with its determination pursuant to this Section 3.1(b). Each Party shall furnish to the Independent Appraiser such information and documents as such Party deems relevant and such other information and documents as may be requested by the Independent Appraiser with copies being given to the other such Party substantially simultaneously. The Independent Appraiser may, at its discretion, conduct one or more conferences and meetings concerning the valuation and each such Party shall have the right to present additional documents, materials and other information and to have present its Representatives. No Party or its Representatives shall be permitted to engage in any ex parte communications with the Independent Appraiser.
(iii) The Independent Appraiser shall be directed to promptly, and in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Asset Closing Date, render its final determination in writing of the Fair Market Value (the “Appraisal Report”) upon which each Party shall be able to rely. The Appraisal Report shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each of SunGard Data and Parent, and the final determination of Fair Market Value set forth in the Appraisal Report shall constitute the Base Purchase Price and shall be final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error. The costs related to having the Independent Appraiser determine the Fair Market Value shall be borne by Parent, and Parent shall reimburse SunGard Data for any reasonable and documented out of pocket costs incurred by any Seller Party in connection with preparing or obtaining the determination under Sections 3.1(b)(i), (ii) and (iii). The Appraisal Report shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to SunGard Data and Parent, and shall contain such supplemental documentation and analyses as reasonably requested by either Party.
19
(c) If, without regard to this Section 3.1(c), based on the Fair Market Value pursuant to either the preliminary determination of the Independent Appraiser delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i) or a draft of the Appraisal Report to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iii), the total gain for U.S. Federal income tax purposes projected to be recognized by the Company in respect of the sale of the Purchased Assets (after taking into account the Base Purchase Price, adjustments to the Purchase Price, the amount of Assumed Liabilities and any deductions allowed, or increases in the tax basis of the Purchased Assets, on account of the Assumed Liabilities) exceeds the Maximum Gain, then the Purchaser Parties, in consultation with the Independent Appraiser, shall select in good faith a portion of the Purchased Assets not to be included among the Purchased Assets with an aggregate value such that the total gain projected to be recognized after excluding such assets from the Purchased Assets does not exceed the Maximum Gain based upon the Appraisal Report delivered by the Independent Appraiser pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iii). The determination of the Purchaser Parties as to the Purchased Assets not to be included shall be subject to the review and consent of SunGard Data, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For purposes of this Section 3.1(c), the value of Purchased Assets shall be equal to the Fair Market Value determined under the Appraisal Report pursuant to Sections 3.1(b)(iii).
(d) SunGard Data and Parent shall promptly notify each other if it (or, in the case of Parent, the Company or Purchaser) is notified by any taxing authority that such taxing authority disagrees with the appraisal pursuant to this Section 3.1 or if the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets becomes the subject of an audit, and thereafter, each shall keep the other Party reasonably informed about such audit or any subsequent administrative or judicial proceeding.
3.2 Asset Closing Date. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to ARTICLE IX hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VIII (or the waiver thereof by the Party entitled to waive any such condition), the closing of the Asset Purchase (the “Asset Closing”) will take place at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 and in such other places as are necessary to effect the transactions to be consummated at the Asset Closing, on the later of (a) the third Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of each condition to the Asset Closing set forth in ARTICLE VIII (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Asset Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Asset Closing) and (b) the earlier of (i) a date during the Marketing Period (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to be specified by Parent on no fewer than three Business Days’ notice to SunGard Data (it being understood that such date may be conditioned upon the simultaneous completion of Parent’s debt financing for the Transactions) and (ii) the final day of the Marketing Period, or such other place and time or on such other date as Parent and SunGard Data may mutually determine (the date on which the Asset Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Asset Closing Date”).

At the Asset Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to, (x) deliver the Estimated Purchase Price to the Company as provided in Section 3.5 and (y) execute and deliver to the Company the following in such form and substance as are reasonably acceptable to SunGard Data:

(d) such other documents and instruments as counsel for Parent and SunGard Data mutually agree to be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions described herein.
3.5 Payment and Distribution of Estimated Purchase Price.
(a) No later than two (2) Business Days before the Asset Closing Date, SunGard Data shall deliver to Parent SunGard Data’s calculation of the SMS Estimated Net Working Capital and the Estimated Purchase Price, with reasonable supporting detail as to such calculation. The “Estimated Purchase Price” shall mean an amount equal to the sum of the following: (i) the Base Purchase Price plus (ii) the amount (if any) by which the SMS Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the SMS Target Net Working Capital, minus (iii) the amount (if any) by which the SMS Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the SMS Target Net Working Capital.
(b) On the Asset Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to the Company the Estimated Purchase Price in United States dollars in immediately available federal funds to such bank account or accounts as shall be designated in writing by the Company no later than the second Business Day prior to the Asset Closing.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Asset Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to SunGard Data a statement (the “Asset Post-Closing Statement”), certified by the chief financial officer of Parent and accompanied by reasonable supporting detail, setting forth the SMS Closing Net Working Capital and the Purchase Price, including, in each case, the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. The calculations set forth in the Asset Post-Closing Statement shall be final and binding on all Parties unless SunGard Data gives Parent written notice of its objections thereto (an “Asset Objection Notice”), with reasonable supporting detail as to each such objection (each, an “Asset Post-Closing Calculation Objection”), within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Asset Post-Closing Statement (the “Asset Objection Period”). In the event SunGard Data fails to give Parent an Asset Objection Notice prior to the expiration of the Asset Objection Period or otherwise earlier notifies Parent in writing that SunGard Data has no objections to the calculations set forth in the Asset Post-Closing Statement, the Asset Post-Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding on all Parties hereto, and all payments to be made in accordance with Section 3.7(d) shall be derived therefrom. Any component of the calculations set forth in the Asset Post-Closing Statement that is not the subject of a timely delivered Asset Objection Notice by SunGard Data shall be final and binding on all Parties except to the extent such component could be affected by other components of the calculations set forth in the Asset Post-Closing Statement. Throughout the period following the Asset Closing Date until the components of the calculations set forth in the Asset Post-Closing Statement are deemed final and binding pursuant to this Section 3.7, subject to Section 7.12, Parent shall permit SunGard Data and its Representatives reasonable access (with the right to make copies), during business hours upon reasonable advance notice, to the financial books and records of Parent and its Subsidiaries for the purposes of the review and objection right contemplated herein.
(b) Parent and SunGard Data shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute arising under Section 3.7(a); provided, that if such Parties are unable to do so within thirty (30) days following SunGard Data’s delivery to Parent of an Asset Objection Notice, then by notice from either such Party to the other such Party, the disagreement with respect to such Asset Post-Closing Calculation Objections may be submitted for resolution to the Independent Accountant. If a dispute is submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, Parent and SunGard Data shall enter into a customary engagement letter with, and to the extent necessary each Party to this Agreement will waive and cause its controlling Affiliates to waive any conflicts with, the Independent Accountant at the time such dispute is submitted to the Independent Accountant and shall cooperate with the Independent Accountant in connection with its determination pursuant to this Section 3.7. Within ten (10) days after the Independent Accountant has been retained, each
22
such Party shall furnish, at its own expense, to the Independent Accountant and the other party a written statement of its positions with respect to each matter in dispute. Within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period, each such Party may deliver to the Independent Accountant and to each other its response to the other’s position on each matter in dispute. With each submission, each such Party may also furnish to the Independent Accountant such other information and documents as it deems relevant or such information and documents as may be requested by the Independent Accountant with copies being given to the other such Party substantially simultaneously. The Independent Accountant may, at its discretion, conduct a conference concerning the disagreement and each such Party shall have the right to present additional documents, materials and other information and to have present its Representatives. No Party or its Representatives shall be permitted to engage in any ex parte communications with the Independent Accountant.
(c) The Independent Accountant shall be directed to promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days after its appointment pursuant to Section 3.7(b), render its decision on the disputed Asset Post-Closing Calculation Objections. The Independent Accountant’s determination as to each Asset Post-Closing Calculation Objection in dispute shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each such Party, which shall include the Independent Accountant’s determination as to the calculation of the disputed Asset Post-Closing Calculation Objections, all of which shall be final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error. In resolving any disputed Asset Post-Closing Calculation Objection, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to such Asset Post-Closing Calculation Objection greater than the greatest value for such Asset Post-Closing Calculation Objection claimed by Parent in its Asset Post-Closing Statement or by SunGard Data in its Asset Objection Notice or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by Parent in its Asset Post-Closing Statement or by SunGard Data in its Asset Objection Notice. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be shared one half by Parent and one half by SunGard Data.

(ii) if the amount of the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price (such excess, the “Purchase Price Shortfall”), then within five (5) Business Days after such date SunGard Data (in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) in return of the Dividend) shall pay, or cause to be paid, an amount in cash by wire transfer to Purchaser equal to the Purchase Price Shortfall.

SunGard Data and Parent agree to cooperate with each other in the preparation of, and to negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to, the Allocation Schedule; provided, however, that in the event that SunGard Data and Parent cannot reach agreement with respect to the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days after the Asset Closing Date, the Independent Accountant shall prepare the Allocation Schedule. The costs related to having the Independent Accountant prepare the Allocation Schedule shall be borne by Parent.

(d) The Company shall not establish, maintain or assume any benefit plan on behalf of the SMS Employees as of the Asset Closing, and the Company shall not assume or be deemed to assume any Liabilities or obligations related to or with respect to any SunGard Benefit Plan as of the Asset Closing.
(e) Subject to Section 7.5(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, for a period of at least one year following the Asset Closing, the Purchaser Parties shall provide, or cause their Subsidiaries or the Company to provide, to Transferred SMS Employees, other than SMS Employees covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, bonus and commission opportunity, base wages and salaries and employee benefits and fringe benefits under plans, programs and arrangements (other than equity-based plans) that are at least as favorable as the bonus and commission opportunities, base wages and salaries and employee benefits and fringe benefits provided by Datatel, Inc. to similarly situated employees of Datatel, Inc. For greater certainty, Purchaser shall be under no obligation to retain any Company Benefit Plan following the Asset Closing, other than as required by applicable Law.
(f) To the extent that service is relevant for purposes of eligibility or vesting (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit plan and vesting pursuant to equity incentive plans) under any Datatel Benefit Plan (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any other employee benefit or fringe benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by the Purchaser Parties after the Asset Closing for the benefit of Transferred SMS Employees, such plan, program or arrangement shall credit Transferred SMS Employees for service on or prior to the Asset Closing with SunGard Data or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to the same extent credited for such purposes under the comparable plan, program or arrangement immediately prior to the Asset Closing. For greater certainty, no service by a Transferred SMS Employee need be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits, or to the extent that such service was not recognized under the corresponding SunGard Benefit Plan, and no such service need be recognized for benefit accrual purposes in any Datatel Benefit Plan that constitutes a defined benefit pension plan in which such Transferred SMS Employees may be eligible to participate after the Asset Closing. Following the Asset Closing, the Purchaser Parties shall cause each “employee welfare plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) covering Transferred SMS Employees (i) to reduce each such eligible employee’s (and his or her eligible dependents) annual deductible limits under such plans for the plan year in which the Asset Closing occurs to the extent deductible expenses were incurred and recognized for comparable purposes under the comparable SunGard Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Asset Closing, and (ii) to the extent waived under the SunGard Benefit Plans, to waive any pre-existing condition limitations or exclusions that do not apply to such employees immediately prior to the Asset Closing. On or prior to the Asset Closing Date, the SunGard Entities shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser information relating to the expenses incurred by the Transferred SMS Employees that count against annual deductible limits and co-payments limits of the “employee welfare plans” covering Transferred SMS Employees.
45
Nothing in this Section 7.5(f) shall obligate the Purchaser Parties to provide any benefit under any Datatel Benefit Plan that is a welfare benefit plan that it did not provide under such plan as of the Asset Closing Date.
(g) Purchaser shall be responsible for any obligation with respect to the Transferred SMS Employees under the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act of 1988 and any applicable state or local equivalent arising or accruing after the Asset Closing Date (collectively, “WARN”). The Seller Parties shall be responsible for any such obligation arising or accruing on or before the Asset Closing Date. The Parties hereto agree to cooperate in good faith to determine whether any notification may be required under WARN as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(h) The Seller Parties shall be responsible for the administration of and shall retain any and all obligations and liabilities for COBRA continuation coverage with respect to the Transferred SMS Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries for “qualifying events” occurring prior to and including the date on which the Transferred SMS Employee becomes a Transferred SMS Employee (for purposes of clarity, to the extent such Transferred SMS Employees are covered under an employee benefit plan providing for such COBRA continuation benefits), and Purchaser shall be responsible for all obligations and liabilities for COBRA continuation coverage for Transferred SMS Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries with respect to “qualifying events” occurring after the date on which the Transferred SMS Employee becomes a Transferred SMS Employee (for purposes of clarity, to the extent such Transferred SMS Employees are covered under an employee benefit plan providing for COBRA continuation benefits).
(i) Each Transferred SMS Employee will be credited by Purchaser with all accrued but unused vacation (including, without limitation, any accrued long service leave) as of the Asset Closing Date under the vacation policy of the Seller Parties applicable to such Transferred SMS Employee, and the Seller Parties shall have no liability with respect thereto after the Asset Closing Date.
(j) Except as is expressly provided in this Section 7.5 or in the Merger Agreement, any Liabilities relating to or at any time arising under or in connection with any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time maintained, sponsored or contributed or required to be contributed to by the Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates, or with respect to which the Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates has any Liability, and any Liabilities arising out of, relating to or incurred in connection with the employment or service by, or termination from employment or service with, the Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates of any SMS Employee (including any Transferred SMS Employee), including any and all Liabilities pertaining to any salary or wages, vacation pay, bonuses or any other type of compensation or benefits, shall remain the Liability of the Seller Parties and their Affiliates.
(k) The Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties acknowledge and agree that provisions contained in this Section 7.5 with respect to Transferred SMS Employees are included for the sole benefit of Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights (i)
46
in any other person, including any Transferred SMS Employees, any current or former participant in any SunGard Benefit Plan, or, in each case, any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (ii) to continued employment with the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
7.6 Access.
(a) Subject to applicable Law and in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, upon reasonable notice, each of the Seller Parties, with respect to the SMS Business only, shall, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Asset Closing or the termination of this Agreement, afford to the Purchaser Parties and their duly authorized Representatives reasonable access to its officers, employees, consultants and representatives and, during normal business hours, in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the SMS Business, to its and its Subsidiaries’ and the Company Subsidiaries’ officers, properties, Contracts, books, records (including Tax Returns filed and those in preparation, work papers and other materials relating to Taxes, but only to the extent relating to the SMS Business), any report, schedule or other document filed or received by it pursuant to the requirements of the federal or state securities Laws, and shall use their respective reasonable efforts to cause their respective Representatives to furnish promptly such additional financial and operating data and other information, including environmental information, as to the SMS Business as the Purchaser Parties or their duly authorized Representatives, as the case may be, may reasonably request, and instruct its Representatives to cooperate with the Purchaser Parties and their duly authorized Representatives in their investigation; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not permit the Purchaser Parties or their duly authorized Representatives to conduct any invasive or destructive environmental sampling, testing or analysis on the property of the Seller Parties or their Subsidiaries.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Seller Parties nor their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall be required to provide any information to the extent that any such Person has reasonably determined that it is legally obligated to keep such information confidential or otherwise not to provide such information or to the extent that such access would be reasonably likely to constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. Each of the Purchaser Parties will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to hold, and will direct its and their Representatives to hold, any and all information received from any of the Seller Parties, directly or indirectly, in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.
7.7 Public Announcements. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, the Parties will issue the press release attached hereto as Exhibit B. Subject to the immediately foregoing sentence, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser Parties shall consult with each other prior to making any press release or public announcement relating to the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public announcement prior to such consultation and without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as such Party believes in good faith may be required by applicable Law, Order or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, in which case the Party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall use its reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party before issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement.
47
7.8 Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give the Purchaser Parties, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s, its Subsidiaries’ or the SMS Business’s operations prior to the Asset Closing. Prior to the Asset Closing, each of the Parties shall exercise and be responsible for, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and applicable Law (including the HSR Act), complete control and supervision over their respective operations, including, in the case of the Seller Parties and their Subsidiaries, complete control and supervision of all programs, employees, finances and policies of the SMS Business.
7.9 Use of Name.
(a) For a period of 180 days after the Asset Closing Date, the Purchaser Parties shall have the limited, non-transferable right to use any trademarks and Internet domain names containing the name “SunGard” (the “SunGard Marks”) (i) solely in connection with the operation of the SMS Business in the manner operated immediately prior to the Asset Closing Date (and subject at all times to SunGard Data’s right to exercise quality control with respect to the use of the SunGard Marks and the goodwill associated therewith) and (ii) solely in the process of exhausting the existing inventory of printed purchase orders, sales invoices, marketing materials, stationery, printed forms, other documents and office and shipping supplies, and other products, equipment, and items bearing the SunGard Marks (the “Existing Stock”) in the Company’s, Purchaser’s or their respective Subsidiaries’ possession as of the Asset Closing, after which period (x) the Purchaser Parties shall, at their election, either (A) remove or obliterate the SunGard Marks from the Existing Stock or (B) cease using the Existing Stock, and (y) any and all right of the Purchaser Parties to use the SunGard Marks granted hereunder shall terminate immediately. Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Purchaser Parties from using the words “HIGHER” or “EDUCATION” independently of any SunGard Xxxx or using the SunGard Marks in a non-trademark manner to describe the history of the SMS Business or as required or permitted by Law.
(b) No SunGard Entity shall have any responsibility for claims by any third Person arising out of, or relating to, the use by the Purchaser Parties of the SunGard Marks after the Asset Closing Date.

(b) Following the Asset Closing and subject to the terms and conditions provided in this ARTICLE X, Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SunGard Data and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, managers, members, partners, assigns and successors (each, a “SunGard Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each SunGard Indemnified Party for, all Losses imposed upon or incurred by such SunGard Indemnified Party (“SunGard Losses”), subject to Section 10.2, with respect to (i) the failure of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser Parties set forth in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of this Agreement to be true and correct or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser Parties contained herein to be performed after the Asset Closing. The SunGard Indemnified Parties, whether under this Agreement or pursuant to Article X of the Merger Agreement, shall not be entitled to recover more than once for the same SunGard Loss.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Datatel Losses and SunGard Losses shall not include, and in no event shall any Datatel Loss or SunGard Loss be recoverable under the terms of this Agreement to the extent it consists of, punitive, special or exemplary damages, except to the extent such punitive, special or exemplary damages are awarded against any Datatel Indemnified Party or SunGard Indemnified Party, as the case may be, in a third-party claim.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to the Merger Agreement, this ARTICLE X shall not apply to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by any

(e) Parent and Purchaser shall reimburse and indemnify SunGard Data and any of its Affiliates for, and hold them harmless against, any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs paid in connection with the Appraisal Report, the IRS Submissions, any audit by any Tax authority or any administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of the determination or allocation of the Purchase Price, the sale of the Purchased Assets or any other Transaction pursuant to this Agreement.
10.2 Certain Limitations.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, SunGard Data shall not be obligated to indemnify Datatel Indemnified Parties for aggregate Capped Datatel Losses in excess of an amount equal to $1,775,000,000. “Capped Datatel Losses” means all Datatel Losses under this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(a) of this Agreement and all Datatel Losses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) under the Merger Agreement pursuant to Sections 10.1(a)(i), 10.1(a)(ii), 10.1(a)(iii) and 10.1(a)(iv) of the Merger Agreement.
(b) The representations and warranties of the Seller Parties and the Purchaser Parties contained in ARTICLE IV, ARTICLE V and ARTICLE VI of this Agreement shall not survive the Asset Closing; provided that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 5.1 and Section 6.1 shall survive indefinitely. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Asset Closing; provided that the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement to be performed after the Asset Closing shall survive until the date or dates explicitly specified therein or, if not so specified, until performed in accordance with their terms.
(c) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a Party pursuant to Sections 10.1(a) and 10.1(b) shall terminate when the applicable representation, warranty or covenant terminates pursuant to Section 10.2(b); provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the SunGard Indemnified Party or Datatel Indemnified Party, as the case may be, to be indemnified (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall have, before the expiration of the applicable survival period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the Indemnifying Party.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of Parent to reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless SunGard Data and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 10.1(e) shall survive indefinitely, including upon a termination of this Agreement.
10.3 Procedures for Third Party Claims.
(a) Third Party Claims. Promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) days) after the receipt by any Indemnified Party of a notice of any Action by any third party that may be subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE X, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Action to the indemnifying Party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”),
57
stating in reasonable detail the nature and basis of each claim made in the Action and, to the extent known, the amount thereof along with copies of the relevant documents received by the Indemnified Party evidencing the Action and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against the third party claim upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within thirty (30) days after receipt of the particular notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the third party claim if it (x) seeks as a remedy the imposition of an equitable remedy that is binding upon any Purchaser Party or any of its Affiliates (including the Company or its Subsidiaries), (y) involves alleged criminal liabilities of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (z) is subject to a limitation set forth in Section 10.2(a) and the amount at issue in such claim (together with all other pending and previously resolved claims subject to the same limitation set forth in Section 10.2(a) as such claim) that would not be subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article X as a result of the application of such limitation set forth in Section 10.2(a) is greater than the amount at issue that would be subject to indemnification after application of such limitation set forth in Section 10.2(a). So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of, and diligently defends, the third party claim in accordance herewith and notified the Indemnified Party in writing thereof, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the third party claim, (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party (A) after such time as the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of such third party claim and prior to such time as the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party that it has assumed the defense of such third party claim or (B) if both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have concluded in good faith, based on advice from counsel, that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or the availability to the Indemnified Party of one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof; provided, further, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties), (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the third party claim (other than a judgment or settlement that (A) is on exclusively monetary terms with such monetary amounts paid by the Indemnifying Party concurrently with the effectiveness of the settlement, (B) does not involve any finding or admission of violation of Law or admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and (C) provides a complete and unconditional release of, or dismissal with prejudice of, all claims against any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such third party claim for all matters that were or could have been asserted in connection with such claim) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the
58
Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) Procedures for Other Claims. An Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand (other than a third party claim) that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, describing in reasonable detail, to the extent known by the Indemnified Party, the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In the event the Indemnifying Party receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10.3(b), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following their receipt of such notice if the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not so notify the Indemnified Party, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed to be a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay, subject to the limitations identified in this Agreement, if applicable, the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion of the claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion of such claim) becomes finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party disputes all or a portion of the claim from an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 30 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of its notice of dispute, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6.
(c) Treatment of Indemnification Payments; Insurance Recoveries. Any payment made pursuant to the indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be decreased by any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under third party insurance policies with respect to such Loss (net of the expenses incurred in procuring such recovery and any premiums or other chargebacks paid by such Indemnified Party under the relevant insurance policy and any Taxes imposed on the proceeds of such policy). Each Party agrees (i) to use all reasonable efforts to recover all available insurance proceeds and (ii) to the extent that any indemnity payment under this Agreement has been paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party prior to the recovery by the Indemnified Party of such insurance proceeds, to promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party such amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party.
10.4 Remedies Exclusive; Mitigation. Following the Asset Closing, with the exception of remedies based on fraud, the remedies set forth in this ARTICLE X and Article X and Section 7.4 of the Merger Agreement shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for money damages and shall be in lieu of any other remedies for money damages that may be available to the Indemnified Parties under any other agreement or pursuant to any statutory or common law with respect to any Losses of any kind or nature incurred directly or indirectly resulting from or
59
arising out of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement shall affect the Parties’ rights (a) to specific performance and other non-monetary equitable remedies with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement and the Merger Agreement to be performed after the Asset Closing or (b) under any of the other Ancillary Agreements (other than the Merger Agreement)). Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and minimize its Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder. Each of the Parties hereby waives any provision of any applicable Law to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreements contained in this Section 10.4.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
