(c) | if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of termination by Employer for Cause, then the Option will be immediately forfeited by the Optionee and terminate as of the Date of Termination. |

4. Exercise of Option.
(a) | In General. The latest date on which this Option may be exercised is ten years from the Date of Grant (the “Final Exercise Date”). Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided under the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Company at its principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan. The purchase price may be paid by delivery of cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or, in case of an exercise on the Final Exercise Date, or a termination of Employment without Cause or as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death, if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof) and if such exercise would not adversely affect the Company’s results of operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by means of withholding of Shares subject to the Option with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price and (ii) if commercially reasonable for the Company to so permit (taking into account its cash position in light of any contractual or legal restrictions) minimum statutory withholding taxes with respect to such exercise, or by such other method provided under the Plan and explicitly approved by the Administrator. In the event that this Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Company will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Option. |
(b) | Time To Exercise. The Option must be exercised no later than the Final Exercise date, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate. The Option must also be exercised by the termination of the Optionee’s Employment and, if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate, provided that, upon termination of the Optionee’s Employment (i) by Employer without Cause, (ii) by resignation by the Optionee, or (iii) as a result of a Disability or death, the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of the 90th day after the Date of Termination (or the one-year anniversary thereof in the case of a termination resulting from Disability or death) or the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate. |
5. Certain Calls and Puts. The Options granted hereunder and the related Shares are
subject to the call and put rights contained in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement, except
that such put rights shall be granted only if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including
Section 409A thereof); provided, however, that the call rights contained in Section 6 of the
Stockholders Agreement shall not apply in the event of a termination resulting from Disability or
death.
6. Share Restrictions, Other Plans, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the
Optionee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon exercise are subject to the
restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement. For the avoidance of
doubt, the SunGard Capital Corp. and SunGard Capital Corp. II Dividend Rights Plan shall not apply
to this Option.
-3-
7. Forfeiture. Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to this Option, Optionee
shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that Optionee is in compliance with the
Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between Optionee and the Company or any of its
Affiliates. If the Company determines that Optionee is not in compliance with one or more of the
Restrictive Covenants or with the provisions of any agreement between Optionee and the Company or
any of its Affiliates, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific
written waiver from the Company, the Committee may cancel any unexercised portion. The Company
shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:
(a) | During the six months after any exercise, payment or delivery of shares pursuant to this Option, such exercise, payment or delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s option if Optionee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or if Optionee breaches any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall notify Optionee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such exercise, payment or delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, Optionee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option (or the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued of the time of the exchange) and (iii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded exercise. |
(b) | The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to Optionee under or by reason of Optionee’s holding this Option, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of Optionee’s violation of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or Optionee’s breach of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates. Accordingly, Optionee acknowledges that (i) the Company may delay exercise of this Option or withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such delay, withholding, or escrow. |
Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the
Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or of any
duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates would be difficult to calculate accurately and that
the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. Optionee
further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company
rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a
setoff.
8. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon exercise shall bear such legends as may be
required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.
9. Transfer of Option. This Option may only be transferred by the laws of descent and
distribution, to a legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity, or to a Family
Member with the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.
-4-
10. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to “wages” or other
compensation income subject to withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that
the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject
to the Optionee promptly paying to the Company in cash (or by such other means as may
be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The
Optionee also authorizes the Company and its subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts
otherwise owed to the Optionee and the Company may so withhold as provided in Section 4(a) above.
11. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of
Shares upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ
of the Company or any of its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates
to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to
terminate his or her Employment at any time.
12. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this
Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive
laws of any other jurisdiction.
13. Amendment. In addition to the authority to make adjustments pursuant to Section
7(b) of the Plan, the Administrator may modify the terms of this Option as the Administrator deems
appropriate, in good faith, to take account of a change in circumstances occasioned by a stock
dividend or other similar distribution (whether in the form of stock, other securities or other
property), stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split),
recapitalization, conversion, reorganization, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
merger, exchange of stock, redemption or repurchase of all or part of the shares of any class of
stock or any change in the capital structure of the Company or an Affiliate or other transaction or
event, including the power to adjust the performance goals that are affected by such a transaction.

4. Exercise of Option.

Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided under the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Companies at their principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan. The purchase price may be paid by delivery of cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or, in case of an exercise on the Final Exercise Date, or a termination of Employment without Cause or as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death, if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof) and if such exercise would not adversely affect any of the Companies’ results of operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by means of withholding of Shares subject to the Option with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price and (ii) if commercially reasonable for the Company to so permit (taking into account its cash position in light of any contractual or legal restrictions) minimum statutory Withholding Taxes with respect to such exercise, or by such other method provided under the Plan and explicitly approved by the Administrator. To the extent that Shares are withheld to cover the exercise price or Withholding Taxes in accordance with the preceding sentence, those Shares will not be issued to the Optionee. In the event that this Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Companies will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Option. |
2
(b) | Time To Exercise. The Option must be exercised no later than the Final Exercise date, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate. The Option must also be exercised by the termination of the Optionee’s Employment and, if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate, provided that, upon termination of the Optionee’s Employment (i) by Employer without Cause, (ii) by resignation by the Optionee, or (iii) as a result of a Disability or death, the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of the 90th day after the Date of Termination (or the one-year anniversary thereof in the case of a termination resulting from Disability or death) or the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate. |
5. Certain Calls and Puts. The Options granted hereunder and the related Shares are
subject to the call and put rights contained in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement, except
that such put rights shall be granted only if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including

Stockholders Agreement shall not apply in the event of a termination resulting from Disability or
death.
6. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Optionee’s
rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon exercise are subject to the restrictions
and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the
SunGard Capital Corp. and SunGard Capital Corp. II Dividend Rights Plan shall not apply to this
Option.
7. Forfeiture. Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to this Option, Optionee
shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that Optionee is in compliance with the
Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between Optionee and the Company or any of its
Affiliates. If the Company determines that Optionee is not in compliance with one or more of the
Restrictive Covenants or with the provisions of any agreement between Optionee and the Company or
any of its Affiliates, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific
written waiver from the Company, the Committee may cancel any unexercised portion. The Company
shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:
(a) | During the six months after any exercise, payment or delivery of shares pursuant to this Option, such exercise, payment or delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s option if Optionee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or if Optionee breaches any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall notify Optionee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such exercise, payment or delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, Optionee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option (or the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued of the time of the exchange) and (iii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded exercise. |
3
(b) | The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to Optionee under or by reason of Optionee’s holding this Option, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of Optionee’s violation of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or Optionee’s breach of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates. Accordingly, Optionee acknowledges that (i) the Company may delay exercise of this Option or withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such delay, withholding, or escrow. |
Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the
Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or of any
duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates would be difficult to calculate accurately and that
the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. Optionee
further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company
rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a
setoff.
8. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon exercise shall bear such legends as may be
required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.
9. Transfer of Option. This Option may only be transferred by the laws of descent and
distribution or to a legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity.
10. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to compensation income
which may be subject to withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the
Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject to
the Optionee promptly paying to the Company in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to
the Administrator in its discretion) all Withholding Taxes with respect to the exercise. The
Optionee also authorizes the Company and its subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts
otherwise owed to the Optionee and the Company may so withhold as provided in Section 4(a) above.
In addition, the Company may require the Optionee to pay any taxes or other amounts required to be
paid by the Company or any Affiliates with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of this
Option. Any such taxes or amounts must be paid at such times and in such form as determined by the
Company.
4
11. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of
Shares upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ
of the Company or any of its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates
to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to
terminate his or her Employment at any time, subject to applicable local law and the terms of any
employment agreement.
12. Nature of Grant; No Entitlement; No Claim for Compensation. Optionee, in
accepting this Option, represents and acknowledges that Optionee’s participation in the Plan is
voluntary; that participation in the Plan is discretionary and does not form any part of Optionee’s
contract of employment, if any, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and that Optionee has
not been induced to participate in the Plan by any expectation of employment or continued
employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Optionee furthermore understands and
acknowledges that the grant of this Option is discretionary and a one-time occurrence, does not
constitute any portion of Optionee’s regular remuneration and is not intended to be taken into
account in calculating service-related benefits, and bears no guarantee or implication that any
additional grant will be made in the future. In consideration of the grant of this Option, no
claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Option or
diminution in value of the Option or any of the Shares purchased through exercise of the Option
resulting from termination of the Optionee’s employment by the Company or his or her employer, as
applicable (and for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract or local labor
laws), and Optionee irrevocably releases his or her employer, the Company and its subsidiaries, as
applicable, from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement,
Optionee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.
13. Personal Data. Optionee understands and acknowledges that in order to perform its
obligations under the Plan, the Company and its subsidiaries may process personal data and/or
sensitive personal data relating to Optionee. Such data includes but is not limited to the
information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other personal and financial data
relating to Optionee (including, without limitation, Optionee’s address and telephone number, date
of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title),
and information about Optionee’s participation in the Plan and the Shares acquired from time to
time pursuant to the Plan. Optionee, in accepting this Option, gives his or her explicit and
voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to collect, use and process any such personal
data and/or sensitive personal data (in electronic or other form). Optionee also hereby gives his
or her explicit and voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to transfer any such
personal data and/or sensitive personal data (in electronic or other form) outside the country in
which Optionee works or is employed. The legal persons for whom Optionee’s personal data are
intended include the Company and any of its subsidiaries, any outside plan administrator or service
provider selected by the Company or any of its subsidiaries from time to time, and any other person
that the Administrator may find in its administration of the Plan to be appropriate; such
recipients may be located in countries that have different data privacy laws and protections than
Optionee’s country. Optionee hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed of his or her
right of access and correction to his or her personal data by contacting his or her local human
resources representative. Optionee understands that the
transfer of the information described herein is important to the administration of the Plan
and that failure to consent to the transmission of such information may limit or prohibit his or
her participation in the Plan.
5
14. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this
Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive
laws of any other jurisdiction.
