have been earned at the end of such calendar year based upon attainment of
pre-determined performance goals, by (ii) (A) the number of days in which
Optionee was employed by Employer during the Year of Termination divided by

of the Optionee by Employer without Cause, (ii) the Optionee’s Disability or
death, or (iii) with respect to Shares earned for a calendar year after 2010,
the Optionee’s Retirement, then the Option for the year of termination shall

for the 2010 calendar year shall become fully vested as of the Date of
Termination;

  (b)   with respect to the portion of the Option that is earned for the 2010
calendar year, if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the
Optionee’s resignation or Retirement, then the Option shall be deemed to have
stopped vesting as of the Date of Termination of such Optionee, and no portion
of the Option shall be earned for the calendar year in which the Date of
Termination occurs;

  (c)   with respect to the portion of the Option that is earned for calendar
years after 2010, if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the

Committee of the Board and the CEO will determine in mutual consultation the
effect of such Change of Control on the Option, which shall be treated in a
manner they jointly consider equitable under the circumstances; provided that in

the Option that was earned with respect to the 2010 calendar year and that has
not yet vested shall vest in full upon the Change of Control.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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, provided further that the Administrator shall
extend the period to exercise the portion of the Option that vests after
termination of Employment (but not beyond the Final Exercise Date) to the extent
necessary to determine the Actual Internal EBITA (as defined in Schedule A) for
the year containing the Date of Termination (or for the preceding year, as
applicable).

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.

 

-4-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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.
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.

 

-5-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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.
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.

transaction fees payable to the Investors or their affiliates, extraordinary
items (as determined by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO)

without giving effect to purchase accounting and shall be adjusted in good faith
by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO to reflect the
consequences of acquisitions and dispositions. Unless otherwise determined by
the Board or Compensation Committee and agreed to by the CEO, the adjustment for
acquisitions and dispositions shall be based on a cost of funds used for
acquisitions and released by dispositions at a rate of 11%, compounded at the
rate of 7.5% per annum, provided that transactions with a purchase price in
excess of $50 million may merit an alternative adjustment, in which case the
rate will be as mutually agreed by the CEO and the Board or Compensation

Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO in case of changes in GAAP
promulgated by FASB or the SEC or changes in depreciation methodology.

whom the Optionee has entered into an Employment relationship;

in Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by reference;

  (f)   “Vest on a Pro Rata Basis” means that the vesting of Optionee’s Option
shall continue through the end of the Year of Termination (but not thereafter),
provided that only a portion of the Option that otherwise would have vested at
the end of such year shall vest, such portion being determined by multiplying
(i) the number of Shares subject to the Option that otherwise would have vested
at the end of such year based upon attainment of pre-determined performance
goals, by (ii) (A) the number of days in which Optionee was employed by Employer
during the Year of Termination divided by (B) 365 (rounded to the nearest whole
number of Shares);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a termination of Employment
described in Section 3(a)(i) during the 2009 or 2010 calendar year, “Vest on a
Pro Rata Basis” means that the Option shall continue to be earned through the
end of the Year of Termination (but not thereafter), provided that only a
portion of the Option that otherwise would have been earned at the end of such

determined by multiplying (i) the number of Shares subject to the Option that
otherwise would have been earned at the end of such calendar year based upon
attainment of pre-determined performance goals, by (ii) (A) the number of days
in which Optionee was employed by Employer during the Year of Termination
divided by (B) 365 (rounded to the nearest whole number of Shares); the portion
of the Option that is earned for the Year of Termination as described in this

to become exercisable in whole or in specified part.
3. Vesting of Option. The Option shall vest in accordance with Schedule A;
provided, however, that:

  (a)   if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of (i) termination
of the Optionee by Employer without Cause or (ii) the Optionee’s Disability or
death, then the Option shall Vest on a Pro Rata Basis, and any unvested Options
that were earned for the 2009 or 2010 calendar year shall become fully vested as
of the Date of Termination;

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  (b)   if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of resignation by
the Optionee, then the Option shall be deemed to have stopped vesting as of the
beginning of the year containing the Date of Termination of such Optionee;

have stopped vesting as of the Date of Termination of the Optionee’s Employment
and no Options shall be earned for the calendar year in which the Date of
Termination occurs;

Committee of the Board and the CEO will determine in mutual consultation the
effect of such Change of Control on the Option, which shall be treated in a
manner they jointly consider equitable under the circumstances; provided that in
the event of a Change of Control after the 2009 or 2010 calendar year, any
portion of the Option that was earned with respect to the 2009 or 2010 calendar
year and that has not yet vested shall vest in full upon the Change of Control.

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. To the extent that the 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 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, provided further that the Administrator shall
extend the period to exercise the portion of the Option that vests after
termination of Employment (but not beyond the Final Exercise Date) to the extent
necessary to determine the Actual Internal EBITA (as defined in Schedule A) for
the year containing the Date of Termination (or for the preceding year, as
applicable).

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, 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.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  (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, 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.
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 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. 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.
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.
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.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

15. 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.

shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in paragraph

For purposes of this Vesting Schedule:
“Performance Period” means the five-year period beginning on January 1, 2010.
“Actual Internal EBITA” means the Company’s actual earnings before interest,
taxes and amortization for a year, determined based on the Company’s audited
financials. Actual Internal EBITA shall not be reduced by costs of the
acquisition of the Company by the Investors or the Company’s proposed spin-off
of its availability services business or related items, management and
transaction fees payable to the Investors or their affiliates, extraordinary
items (as determined by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO)
or non-cash equity incentive expenses. Actual Internal EBITA shall be calculated
without giving effect to purchase accounting and shall be adjusted in good faith
by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO to reflect the
consequences of acquisitions and dispositions. Unless otherwise determined by
the Board or Compensation Committee and agreed to by the CEO, the adjustment for
acquisitions and dispositions shall be based on a cost of funds used for
acquisitions and released by dispositions at a rate of 11%, compounded at the
rate of 7.5% per annum, provided that transactions with a purchase price in
excess of $50 million may merit an alternative adjustment, in which case the
rate will be as mutually agreed by the CEO and the Board or Compensation
Committee. Actual Internal EBITA targets shall be appropriately adjusted by the
Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO in case of changes in GAAP
promulgated by FASB or the SEC or changes in depreciation methodology.
“Base Case” means the Actual Internal EBITA targets for the Company during each
calendar year in the Performance Period, as follows: the Company’s final
consolidated budgeted EBITA, as approved by the Board or Compensation Committee
and as appears in the Company’s operating budget for each of the applicable
calendar years in the Performance Period.
“Original Base Case” means the Actual Internal EBITA targets for the Company
during each calendar year in the Performance Period, as originally determined
for the applicable calendar years as set forth below:

Exhibit A
Restrictive Covenants
1. Optionee will not render services for any organization or engage directly or
indirectly in any business which, in the judgment and sole determination of the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company or another senior officer designated by
the Committee, is or becomes competitive with the Company, or which organization
or business, or the rendering of services to such organization or business, is
or becomes otherwise prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the
Company. If Optionee’s employment or other service with the Company has
terminated, the judgment of the Chief Executive Officer or other designated
officer will be based on Optionee’s position and responsibilities while employed
by the Company, Optionee’s post-employment responsibilities and position with
the other organization or business, the extent of past, current and potential
competition or conflict between the Company and the other organization or

considerations as are deemed relevant given the applicable facts and
circumstances.

in the Company’s business, any confidential or proprietary information or
material relating to the business of the Company, acquired by Optionee either

ideas”) pertaining to the Company’s business, whether or not patentable or
copyrightable, that are made, written, developed, or conceived by Optionee,
alone or with others, at any time (during or after business hours) while
Optionee is employed by the Company or during the three months after Optionee’s
employment terminates. Optionee understands that all of those works and ideas
will be the Company’s exclusive property, and by accepting this Option Optionee
assigns and agrees to assign all Optionee’s right, title and interest in those
works and ideas to the Company. Optionee will sign all documents which the
Company deems necessary to confirm its ownership of those works and ideas, and

Company during the period of Optionee’s employment with the Company; or (e) any

shall continue through the end of the Year of Termination (but not thereafter),
provided that only a portion of the Option that otherwise would have vested at
the end of such year shall vest, such portion being determined by multiplying
(i) the number of Shares subject to the Option that otherwise would have vested
at the end of such year based upon attainment of pre-determined performance
goals, by (ii) (A) the number of days in which Optionee was employed by Employer
during the Year of Termination divided by (B) 365 (rounded to the nearest whole

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a termination of Employment
described in Section 3(a) during the 2010 calendar year, “Vest on a Pro Rata
Basis” means that the Option shall continue to be earned through the end of the
Year of Termination (but not thereafter), provided that only a portion of the

earned as of the end of the calendar year, such portion being determined by
multiplying (i) the number of Shares subject to the Option that otherwise would
have been earned at the end of such calendar year based upon attainment of
pre-determined performance goals, by (ii) (A) the number of days in which
Optionee was employed by Employer during the Year of Termination divided by
(B) 365 (rounded to the nearest whole number of Shares); the portion of the
Option that is earned for the Year of Termination as described in this paragraph

Section 3(a);

 

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  (i)   “Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis” means that Optionee’s Option shall be
subject to accelerated vesting at the time of a Change of Control as follows:

  (i)   If the Change of Control occurs on or before December 31, 2013 and
results in the Investors receiving an amount constituting at least 300% of the
Investors’ initial equity investment in Company and any subsequent equity
investments, Shares shall vest as follows: (A) if the Investor internal rate of
return (“IRR”) as of the Change of Control date is 16% or higher, all remaining
Shares shall become fully vested and exercisable on the one-year anniversary of
the Change of Control; (B) if the Investor IRR as of the Change of Control date
is between 14% and 16%, the number of Shares determined by interpolation (e.g.,
50% acceleration at 15% IRR) shall become fully vested and exercisable on the
one-year anniversary of the Change of Control; and (C) if the Investor IRR as of
the Change of Control date is less than 14%, there will be no acceleration of
vesting. Vesting on the one-year anniversary of the Change of Control is
contingent on continued employment through the one-year anniversary date, except
as otherwise provided in Section 3(a).

  (ii)   If a Change of Control occurs and the requirements of subsection
(i) are not met, there will be no acceleration of vesting.

  (iii)   In determining the amount that has been received by the Investors, the
gross value of all cash (including prior distributions the Investors or their
Affiliates have received with respect to the Shares) and/or securities (with the
fair value of such securities to be determined by the Board, which shall be
entitled to take into account any restrictions on transferability, liquidity or
saleability of such securities) received by the Investors shall be taken into
account, minus the amount of commissions, fees and expenses payable by the
Investors to the investment bankers and professional advisors in connection with
the Change of Control. Management and transaction fees specified in the
Management Agreement shall be excluded, provided that any increases in such fees
from the fees in effect as of the date of the Optionee’s Employment Agreement
must be customary (on a percentage of equity basis or in the case of transaction
fees as a percentage of transaction size) compared to fees charged by private
equity sponsors to their portfolio companies. In evaluating the amount of the
transaction consideration, the Board may take into consideration amounts paid
into escrow and contingent payments in connection with any transaction.

  (j)   “Year of Termination” means the fiscal year for the applicable
Performance Period during which Optionee’s Date of Termination occurs.

As used herein with respect to the Option, the Option shall be earned based on
performance and shall vest based on Section 3 below, and the term “vest” means
to become exercisable in whole or in specified part.

 

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3. Vesting of Option. The Option shall vest in accordance with Schedule A;
provided, however, that:

  (a)   if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of (i) termination
of the Optionee by Employer without Cause, (ii) the Optionee’s Disability or
death, or (iii) with respect to Shares earned for a calendar year after 2010,
the Optionee’s Retirement, then (A) the Option for the year of termination shall
Vest on a Pro Rata Basis, (B) any unvested portion of the Option that was earned
for the 2010 calendar year shall become fully vested as of the Date of
Termination, and (C) if a Change of Control has occurred, any amount that is
scheduled to vest on the one-year anniversary of the Change of Control pursuant
to clause (i) of Section 2(i) above shall become fully vested as of the Date of
Termination;

  (b)   with respect to the portion of the Option that is earned for the 2010
calendar year, if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the
Optionee’s resignation or Retirement, then the Option shall be deemed to have
stopped vesting as of the Date of Termination of such Optionee, and no portion
of the Option shall be earned for the calendar year in which the Date of
Termination occurs;

  (c)   with respect to the portion of the Option that is earned for calendar
years after 2010, if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the
Optionee’s resignation, then the Option shall be deemed to have stopped vesting
as of the beginning of the year containing the Date of Termination of such
Optionee;

  (d)   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; and

  (e)   upon a Change of Control through December 31, 2013, the Option shall
Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis; provided that, upon such a Change of Control
following which Stock continues to be held by any of the Principal Investors, if
the Change of Control would not result in full acceleration of vesting pursuant
to this Section 3(e) without giving effect to this proviso, the Administrator
shall, as it considers appropriate in its sole discretion, either (i) cause the
Option to Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis treating the Fair Market Value of any
retained Stock as an amount received by the Investors in connection with the
Change of Control, or (ii) permit the Option to Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis
in connection with any disposition by the Principal Investors of a material
portion of their remaining Stock through December 31, 2013;

  (f)   notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control after
the 2010 calendar year, any portion of the Option that was earned with respect
to the 2010 calendar year based on Schedule A and that has not yet vested shall
vest in full upon the Change of Control.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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 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, provided further that the Administrator shall
extend the period to exercise the portion of the Option that vests after
termination of Employment (but not beyond the Final Exercise Date) to the extent
necessary to determine the Actual Internal EBITA (as defined in Schedule A) for
the year containing the Date of Termination (or for the preceding year, as
applicable).

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, 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.

 

-5-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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.

 

-6-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

10. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to “wages” 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.

shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in paragraph
(2) below:

For purposes of this Vesting Schedule:
“Performance Period” means the five-year period beginning on January 1, 2010.
“Actual Internal EBITA” means the Company’s actual earnings before interest,
taxes and amortization for a year, determined based on the Company’s audited
financials. Actual Internal EBITA shall not be reduced by costs of the
acquisition of the Company by the Investors or the Company’s proposed spin-off
of its availability services business or related items, management and
transaction fees payable to the Investors or their affiliates, extraordinary
items (as determined by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO)
or non-cash equity incentive expenses. Actual Internal EBITA shall be calculated
without giving effect to purchase accounting and shall be adjusted in good faith
by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO to reflect the
consequences of acquisitions and dispositions. Unless otherwise determined by
the Board or Compensation Committee and agreed to by the CEO, the adjustment for
acquisitions and dispositions shall be based on a cost of funds used for
acquisitions and released by dispositions at a rate of 11%, compounded at the
rate of 7.5% per annum, provided that transactions with a purchase price in
excess of $50 million may merit an alternative adjustment, in which case the
rate will be as mutually agreed by the CEO and the Board or Compensation
Committee. Actual Internal EBITA targets shall be appropriately adjusted by the
Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO in case of changes in GAAP
promulgated by FASB or the SEC or changes in depreciation methodology.
“Base Case” means the Actual Internal EBITA targets for the Company during each
calendar year in the Performance Period, as follows: the Company’s final
consolidated budgeted EBITA, as approved by the Board or Compensation Committee
and as appears in the Company’s operating budget for each of the applicable
calendar years in the Performance Period.
“Original Base Case” means the Actual Internal EBITA targets for the Company
during each calendar year in the Performance Period, as originally determined
for the applicable calendar years as set forth below:

1. Optionee will not render services for any organization or engage directly or
indirectly in any business which, in the judgment and sole determination of the
