THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, this “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of March 27, 2009, by and among each of the persons signatory hereto from time to time as Sellers (each a “ Seller ” and, collectively, the “ Sellers ”), SunGard AR Financing LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Buyer ”) and SunGard Data Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Seller Agent ”).

RECITALS

A. Buyer is a special purpose company that has been formed for the purpose of purchasing all Receivables originated or owned by each Seller.

B. Each Seller intends to sell, and Buyer intends to purchase, such Receivables, from time to time, as described herein.

C. Buyer intends to fund its purchases of the Receivables, in part, by borrowing Advances and pledging all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and related property as security therefor under the Credit Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

Section 1.01. Definitions . Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them Annex X .

Section 1.02. Rules of Construction . For purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Annex X shall govern. All Appendices hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference and, taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single agreement.

ARTICLE II

TRANSFERS OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.01. Agreement to Sell .

(a) Receivables Sales . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Seller agrees to sell, without recourse except to the limited extent specifically provided herein, to Buyer on the Effective Date and on each Business Day thereafter prior to the delivery of an Election Notice relating to such Seller (each such date, a “ Transfer Date ” and each such sale, a “ Sale ”) all Receivables owned by it on each such Transfer Date, and Buyer agrees to purchase all such Receivables on each such Transfer Date. All such Sales by a Seller to Buyer shall collectively be evidenced by a certificate of assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a) (each, a “ Receivables Assignment ,” and collectively, the “ Receivables Assignments ”), and each Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver a Receivables Assignment on or before the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Commitment Termination Date has

 

Receivables Sale Agreement


occurred, each Seller (other than any Seller in respect of which an Election Notice has been delivered) shall continue to transfer Receivables pursuant to this Agreement on each Transfer Date following the delivery of an Election Notice in respect of any Seller.

(b) Determination of Transferred Receivables . On and as of each Transfer Date, all Receivables then owned by each Seller and not previously acquired by Buyer shall be sold to Buyer (each such Receivable, individually, a “ Transferred Receivable ” and, collectively, the “ Transferred Receivables ”).

(c) Payment of Purchase Price . (i) In consideration of each Sale of Transferred Receivables hereunder, Buyer shall pay to the Seller thereof or its designee on the Transfer Date therefor the applicable Purchase Price (x) in Dollars in immediately available funds or (y) otherwise in the manner provided in this Section 2.01(c) . All cash payments by Buyer under this Section 2.01(c)(i) shall be made on the day when due to such account or accounts as the Sellers may designate from time to time.

(ii) The Purchase Price for Transferred Receivables shall be paid by Buyer on each Transfer Date (including the initial Transfer Date) as follows:

(A) first, by netting the amount of any Purchase Price Credits then due to Buyer against such Purchase Price;

(B) second, after satisfaction of all Purchase Price Credits, to the extent available for such purpose (as determined by Buyer), cash of the Buyer in Dollars or other immediately available funds; and

(C) subject to the terms of Section 2.05 hereto, by means of addition to the principal amount of the Subordinated Note (each such addition, a “ Subordinated Loan ”) to Buyer in an amount equal to the balance of the Purchase Price. The Subordinated Loans of a Seller shall be evidenced by a subordinated promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii) hereto (a “ Subordinated Note ”) executed by Buyer and the Seller Agent, for the account of the Sellers. Any such addition to the principal amount of the Subordinated Note shall be allocated among the Sellers (pro rata according to the aggregate purchase price for the Receivables sold by each Seller on such day) by the Seller Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.01(c)(ii)(C ) and Section 2.08. The Subordinated Loans shall bear interest and be payable as provided in the Subordinated Note. In no event shall a Subordinated Loan be made in a manner or amount prohibited by the terms of the Subordinated Note or Section 2.05 . The Seller Agent may evidence such additional principal amounts by recording the date and amount thereof on the grid attached to the Subordinated Note; provided, however, that the failure to make any such recordation or any error in such grid shall not adversely affect any Seller’s rights.

(d) The Seller Agent shall be responsible for allocating among the Sellers the payment of the Purchase Price and any amounts netted therefrom pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii)(A) or credited to Buyer pursuant Section 2.01(c)(ii)(A) or paid in the form of cash to be paid pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii)(B) or in the form of an addition to the principal amount of the Subordinated Loan pursuant Section 2.01(c)(ii)(C) . All amounts payable by Buyer in respect of the Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer to an account of the Seller Agent for allocation by the Seller Agent to the respective Sellers (ratably in accordance with the portion of the Purchase Price owing to each). Each of the Sellers hereby appoints the Seller Agent as its agent for purposes of receiving such payments, making such allocations and taking any

 

Receivables Sale Agreement

other actions hereunder on its behalf and hereby authorizes Buyer to make all payments due to such Seller directly to, or as directed by, the Seller Agent. The Seller Agent hereby accepts and agrees to such appointment. Any such payment by Buyer to or at the direction of the Seller Agent shall constitute a full and complete discharge of Buyer’s liability for the amounts so paid, whether or not the proceeds of such payment are properly distributed by the Seller Agent to the applicable Seller for whose account such payment was made.

(e) Election Notice . If on any Transfer Date, if any Seller will not sell all of its then owned Receivables to Buyer, such Seller shall deliver to Buyer not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Transfer Date a notice of election thereof (each such notice, an “ Election Notice ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Election Notice” shall be deemed to be delivered for purposes of this clause (e)  if a Seller will not sell all of its then owned Receivables from and after the date any merger or sale agreement is entered into with respect to a Seller Disposition pursuant to which (i) all or substantially all of such Seller’s assets or (ii) all of the Equity Interests of such Seller are transferred to a Person that is not (x) the Parent or (y) a Subsidiary of the Parent. Any Election Notice delivered pursuant to this clause (e)  shall be irrevocable.

(f) Ownership of Transferred Receivables . On and after each Transfer Date and after giving effect to the Sales to be made on each such date, Buyer shall own the Transferred Receivables and no Seller shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor shall any Seller claim any ownership interest in such Transferred Receivables. It is understood that the Sellers, the Parent and the Buyer may be consolidated for accounting purposes, as required by GAAP.

(g) Reconstruction of General Trial Balance . If at any time any Seller fails to generate its General Trial Balance, Buyer shall have the right to reconstruct such General Trial Balance so that a determination of the Transferred Receivables can be made pursuant to Section 2.01(b) . Each Seller agrees to cooperate with such reconstruction, including by delivery to Buyer, upon Buyer’s request, of copies of all Records.

Section 2.02. Grant of Security Interest . The parties hereto intend that each Sale of Transferred Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a “sale of accounts” or “payment intangibles”, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables subject thereto, and shall not constitute a loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to and not in derogation of any rights now or hereafter acquired by Buyer under Section 2.01 hereof, the parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any transaction provided for herein constitutes a loan and not a sale, that each Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and each Seller does hereby grant, to Buyer a continuing security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Seller, the Collection Accounts, the Lockboxes and all funds on deposit therein to secure the obligations of such Seller to Buyer hereunder (including, if and to the extent that any Sale is recharacterized as a transfer for security under applicable law, the repayment of a loan deemed to have been made by Buyer to the applicable Seller in the amount of the Purchase Price with respect thereto, including interest thereon at the Index Rate).

Section 2.03. Sellers Remain Liable . It is expressly agreed by the Sellers that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller shall remain liable to the Obligor (and any other party to the related Contract) under any and all of the Receivables originated by it and under the Contracts therefor to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability to the Obligor or any other party to the related Contract under any such Receivables or Contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting

herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Buyer of any payment relating thereto pursuant hereto. The exercise by Buyer of any of its rights under this Agreement shall not release any Seller from any of its respective duties or obligations under any such Receivables or Contracts. Buyer shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Seller under or pursuant to any such Receivable or Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such Receivable or Contract, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Section 2.04. Purchase Price Credits . If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of any Dilution Factor, then, in such event, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “ Purchase Price Credit ”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder in an amount equal to such reduction or cancellation. If the Commitment Termination Date has occurred or the aggregate Purchase Price Credits in respect of any Seller exceeds the Purchase Price in respect of the Receivables of such Seller payable on any Transfer Date, then such Seller agrees to pay the amount of such excess to Buyer in cash promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) thereafter; provided that if the Commitment Termination Date has not occurred, such Seller may also set-off the amount of such excess against any indebtedness owed to it under a Subordinated Note to the extent permitted thereunder.

Section 2.05. Limitation on Subordinated Loans . Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Seller shall make any Subordinated Loan pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii)(C) if (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Subordinated Loans outstanding on such Transfer Date would exceed 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Transferred Receivables on such Transfer Date or (ii) the Net Worth of Buyer on such Transfer Date is less than $74,000,000.

Section 2.06. No Repurchase . Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, no Seller shall have any right or obligation under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, by implication or otherwise, to repurchase from Buyer any Receivables or to rescind or otherwise retroactively affect by Sale of Receivables after it is sold to Buyer hereunder.

Section 2.07. Payments and Computations .

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the Seller Agent designated from time to time by the Seller Agent or as otherwise directed by the Seller Agent; provided that to the extent Collections during any Settlement Period that are available to fund the Purchase Price of Receivables sold during such period are less than the full amount of such Purchase Price, the unpaid portion thereof shall be paid or provided for on the related Settlement Date in accordance with this Section 2.07(c) . In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Each Seller hereby agrees that the Seller Agent is authorized to receive amounts due from Buyer to such Seller hereunder. All amounts so received shall be applied in the following order of payment during each Settlement Period:

(i) first, to pay any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii)(B) ; and

 

Receivables Sale Agreement

(ii) second, to make payments of interest on, and then principal of the Subordinated Note in accordance with Section 2.08 .

(c) On each Settlement Date:

(i) the Seller Agent shall determine the aggregate Purchase Price (the “ Aggregate Purchase Price ”) for all Receivables conveyed by the Sellers to Buyer during the preceding Settlement Period or, in the case of the Facility Maturity Date, during the period from the end of the most recent Settlement Period to the Facility Maturity Date (each such period, an “ Adjusted Settlement Period ”); provided that the final Adjusted Settlement Period shall commence on the day following the most recently ended Adjusted Settlement Period and shall end on the Facility Maturity Date;

(ii) if on any Settlement Period the Aggregate Purchase Price for the related Adjusted Settlement Period minus the aggregate amount of Purchase Price Credits for such Adjusted Settlement Period (such difference, the “ Modified Aggregate Purchase Price ”) exceeds the amount of cash payments received by the Seller Agent from Buyer for such Adjusted Monthly Period (such amount, the “ Cash Payments ”), the Seller Agent 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 Subordinated Note (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.05 );

(iii) if on any Settlement Date, the Cash Payments for the related Adjusted Settlement Period exceed the Modified Aggregate Purchase Price for such Adjusted Settlement Period, the Seller Agent 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 Subordinated Note, (y) second, as a reduction in the principal amount of the Subordinated Note, and (z) third, cause the Sellers to pay any remaining excess to the Buyer.

Section 2.08. Subordinated Note .

(a) On the date of the initial Sale, Buyer shall issue to the Seller Agent, for the account of the Sellers as their respective interests may appear, the Subordinated Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated 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 Subordinated Note with respect to each Seller pursuant to the terms of Section 2.01(c)(ii)(C) and Section 2.07 as of such time, minus, (ii) the aggregate amount of all payment made in respect of the principal of the Subordinated Note as of such time. All payments made in respect of the Subordinated Note shall be allocated, first to pay accrued and unpaid interest thereon, second, to pay the outstanding principal amount thereof. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note shall accrue at a rate per annum as set forth in the Subordinated Note, to be paid (x) on each Settlement Date with respect to the principal amount of the Subordinated Note outstanding from time to time during the Adjusted Settlement Period immediately preceding such Settlement Date (but only to the extent that Buyer has funds available to make such payment) and (y) on the maturity date thereof. Upon receipt of any such payment, the Seller Agent shall distribute such payment to the Sellers ratably based on their respective interests in the Subordinated Note as described in Section 2.08(b) . Principal of the Subordinated Note not paid or prepaid pursuant to the terms hereof shall be payable on the maturity date thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payments to be made by Buyer in respect of the Subordinated Note shall be made solely from funds available to Buyer that are not otherwise required to be applied or set-aside for the payment of any obligations of Buyer under the Credit Agreement, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds and shall not constitute a claim against Buyer to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment.

(b) Each addition to the principal amount of the Subordinated Note on any Transfer Date pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (including on the date of the initial Sale hereunder) shall be allocated among the Sellers by the Seller Agent ratably in proportion to the Purchase Price owing to each on such Transfer Date.

Section 2.09. Additional Sellers . In order for a Subsidiary of Parent that is not a Seller on the date hereof to become a party to this Agreement in the capacity as a Seller, a Joinder Agreement for such Subsidiary in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto must have been executed by all requisite parties thereto and have been delivered to the Administrative Agent.
