(a) SunGard Consolidated Returns. For each taxable year for which Capital files a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return and that begins on or before the Distribution Date, Capital shall include all members of the AS Spinco Group that Capital is permitted to include under applicable law in such consolidated Tax Return. Capital shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) with the IRS any and all SunGard Consolidated Returns (including extension requests, and other documents and statements). SunGard Consolidated Returns shall include all income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other Tax attributes of the members of the AS Spinco Group for all taxable periods for which Capital is entitled to include such member of the AS Spinco Group in such Tax Returns. AS Spinco agrees to, and shall compel each other such included member of the AS Spinco Group to, (i) timely file or join in the filing of the SunGard Consolidated Returns including extension requests, and other documents and statements, and (ii) take such other actions as Capital in good faith determines to be necessary to prepare, complete and timely file SunGard Consolidated Returns and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Section 2.01(a).

(c) Separate Returns. Capital shall be responsible for the preparation and timely filing of any other Tax Return with respect to any Tax (including Non-Income Taxes) that includes a member of the Capital Group (the “SunGard Separate Returns”). For any Tax Return with respect to any Tax (including Non-Income Taxes) that includes an AS Spinco Subsidiary or its operations or assets and that does not include any member of the Capital Group or their operations or assets (the “AS Spinco Separate Returns”), Capital shall be responsible for the preparation of any such AS Spinco Separate Return that is an Income Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period and AS Spinco shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of any such AS Spinco Separate Return that is a Non-Income Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period.

AS Spinco Separate Return, and AS Spinco shall be responsible for the filing of such AS Spinco Separate Return; provided that, in the case of a AS Spinco Separate Return that is an Income Tax Return and relates to a Straddle Period, AS Spinco shall provide Capital on a timely basis with information with respect to the portion of such Straddle Period that begins after the Distribution Date that is necessary to prepare such AS Spinco Separate Return, which information will be prepared on a basis consistent with the current practices of such AS Spinco Separate Return.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Capital shall notify AS Spinco of any portion of any such Tax Return that relates to the AS Spinco Group and is not prepared in a manner consistent with current practice or does not reflect a current election, position or method used in filing the relevant Tax Return. With respect to AS Spinco Separate Returns that are Income Tax Returns and are prepared by Capital pursuant to Section 2.01(c), Capital shall provide AS Spinco with a reasonable opportunity to review such AS Spinco Separate Return, including any allocation of Taxes for a Straddle Period pursuant to Section 2.02(c), and shall consider in good faith the reasonable comments made by AS Spinco with respect to such Tax Returns. With respect to AS Spinco Separate Returns that are Non-Income Tax Returns that are prepared by AS Spinco pursuant to Section 2.01(c), AS Spinco shall provide Capital with a reasonable opportunity to review such Non-Income Tax Returns, and shall consider in good faith the reasonable comments made by Capital with respect to such Non-Income Tax Returns. In each case, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements resulting from their review.

(e) Other Tax Returns. The filing of any Tax Return not otherwise expressly dealt with in this Section 2.01 shall be filed by the Person who is responsible for filing such Tax Return under applicable Tax law and the payment of any Taxes shown as due or otherwise required to be reported on such Tax Returns shall be the responsibility of the Person who is primarily liable for such Taxes under applicable Tax law. In the case of a consolidated, combined, unitary or other group Tax Return, the member or other entity whose activity or operations generate the Taxes for which payment is due (computed on a stand alone basis) shall be treated as the Person who is primarily liable for such Taxes under applicable Tax Law for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Authorizations. Capital and AS Spinco shall, and if necessary or appropriate shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, prepare, sign and timely file any consents, elections,

powers of attorney and other documents, and shall take any other actions necessary or appropriate, to effect the filing of any Tax Return pursuant to this Section 2.01 or to contest such Tax Return in accordance with Section 5.03.

(g) Amended Tax Returns. Capital shall have exclusive control in respect of the filing of any amendment in respect of any SunGard Consolidated Return, any SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return, any SunGard Separate Return and any AS Separate Return that is an Income Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period and AS Spinco shall have exclusive control in respect of the filing of any amendment in respect of any AS Separate Return that is a Non-Income Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period.

Section 2.02. Allocation and Payment of Taxes

(a) Pre-Distribution Period. Except as provided otherwise in this Agreement, SDS shall be liable for and shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the relevant Taxing Authority any Income Taxes of or relating to any member of the SunGard Group for any Pre-Distribution Period (other than any portion of a Straddle Period) and AS Spinco shall be liable for and shall pay any Non-Income Taxes of or relating to any member of the AS Spinco Group or their operations or assets for any Pre-Distribution Period (including any portion of a Straddle Period).

(b) Post-Distribution Period. AS Spinco shall be liable for and shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the relevant Taxing Authority any Taxes of or relating to AS Spinco and any member of the AS Spinco Group for any Post-Distribution Period.

(c) Straddle Period. With respect to any Tax Return for a Straddle Period that includes a member of the AS Spinco Group or any such member’s assets or operations, the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall treat, and elect to treat the close of the Distribution Date as the last day of the Tax period. If no such election is permitted, the Taxes for the Straddle Period shall be allocated to the Pre-Distribution Period as follows: (A) in the case of real or personal property taxes, taxes based on capital, or a flat minimum amount tax, the total amount of such Taxes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the partial period through and including the Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period; and (B) in the case of all other Taxes based on or in respect of income, the Tax computed on the basis of the taxable income or loss of AS Spinco and any member of the AS Spinco Group, as applicable, for such partial period determined from its books and records based upon an actual closing of the books methodology. AS Spinco shall be responsible for any Income Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period that begins after the Distribution Date as allocated under this Section 2.02(c), and for all Non-Income Taxes for the entire Straddle Period.

(d) Taxes Not Shown on a Tax Return. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party and its respective Subsidiaries shall timely pay when due any Taxes not shown on a Tax Return filed by a member of a Group, such as Taxes invoiced by a Taxing Authority, for which such Party or Subsidiary is liable under applicable Tax law.

(e) Utilization of Tax Benefit Attributes. No Group member that utilizes a Tax Benefit Attribute of a member of the other Group shall be required to compensate or make any payment to such member of the other Group with respect to the utilization of such Tax Benefit Attribute except as provided in Section 4.02.

Section 2.03. Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that all sales, use, transfer, recordation, documentary, stamp or similar Non-Income Taxes, applicable to, or resulting from (i) the Internal Separation, (ii) the Contribution, (iii) the Distributions, and (iv) any other distribution, transfer, assignment or other disposition, in respect of the acquisition of AS Business by Availability LLC in connection with and in preparation for the Distributions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne equally by SDS and AS Spinco. Capital shall determine the manner in which any Transfer Taxes and any corresponding transactions are reported for Tax purposes, including any position that no Transfer taxes are due and payable and, unless otherwise required pursuant to a Final Determination, no member of the AS Spinco Group shall take any action that is inconsistent with the manner in which such Transfer Taxes and transactions are reported. Capital shall file (or cause to be filed) all necessary documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes on a timely basis; provided that AS Spinco shall cooperate with the preparation of any such documentation and, to the extent required by applicable Tax law, will timely file such documentation.

ARTICLE 3

TAX MATTERS

Section 3.01. Taxable Periods. Unless prohibited by applicable law, any taxable year or other period of AS Spinco or any AS Spinco Subsidiary (including any Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary) that is included in a SunGard Consolidated Return, SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return or SunGard Separate Return that includes the Distribution Date shall end on the close of the Distribution Date. Taxes or Tax attributes of AS Spinco and any AS Spinco Subsidiary for the taxable period including the Distribution Date shall be allocated using a closing-of-the-books method. If applicable law prohibits a Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary from closing its taxable year as of the Distribution Date, Capital and such Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary shall determine any Tax items includible in a SunGard Consolidated Return, SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return or SunGard Separate Return as if its taxable year had closed as of the end of the Distribution Date in accordance with principles of Section 2.02(c).

Section 3.02. Use of Tax Benefit Attributes.

(a) Carrybacks. If a Tax Benefit Attribute arises in any taxable period beginning on or after the Distribution Date in respect of any Tax Return of AS Spinco or any other member of the AS Spinco Group, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Tax law, the AS Spinco Consolidated Group, or the relevant member of the AS Spinco Group, as applicable, shall waive the carryback of such Tax Benefit Attribute. Notwithstanding Section 4.01(b) and Section 5.04, no payment shall be required for a carryback of any Tax Benefit Attribute of any member of the AS Spinco Group for the use of any member of the SunGard Group or in respect of a SunGard Consolidated Return.

(b) Carryforwards. Capital shall notify AS Spinco (a) as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date of any consolidated carryover item that may be partially or totally allocable to a member of the AS Spinco Group and carried over to a taxable period beginning after the Distribution Date and (b) promptly of subsequent adjustments which may affect such carryover item.

(c) Use of Tax Benefit Attributes. No member of either Group shall enter into a transaction after the Distribution Date with the principal purpose or effect of reducing a Tax Benefit Attribute that otherwise could be used or would be available to the other Group, without the other Group’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 3.03. Pre-Distribution Earnings and Profits. Capital and SDS shall, in accordance with Sections 1.312-10(a) and 1.1502-33(f)(2) of the Regulations, allocate earnings and profits between SDS and AS Spinco in connection with the First Internal Spin-Off, such allocation shall control for Post-Distribution Periods, and if applicable, Capital shall determine any allocations and/or reductions of earnings and profits and foreign taxes paid or accrued with respect to the Contribution and Distribution, and such allocations and/or reductions shall control for Post-Distribution Periods. As reasonably requested by AS Spinco, Capital agrees to provide AS Spinco with copies of any workpapers or other documentation that were used in connection with determining the allocations and/or reductions of earnings and profits and foreign taxes paid or accrued under this Section 3.03.

Section 3.04. Capital and AS Spinco Income Tax Deductions in Respect of Certain Equity Awards; Incentive Compensation. The member of the Group for which the relevant individual is currently employed or, if such individual is not currently employed by a member of the Group, was most recently employed at the time of the vesting, exercise, disqualifying disposition, payment or other relevant taxable event, as appropriate, in respect of the equity awards and other incentive compensation described in the Employee Matters Agreement shall be entitled exclusively to claim any and all Income Tax deductions in respect of such equity awards and other incentive compensation on its respective Tax Return associated with such event. For the avoidance of doubt, AS Spinco shall be entitled exclusively to claim all Income Tax deductions in respect of equity awards of AS Spinco Common Stock granted to Key Managers pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Employee Matters Agreement, and neither Capital nor any other member of the Capital Group shall be responsible for paying gross-ups in respect of such awards. AS Spinco shall comply with (A) the provisions of such Section 7.05 in causing Key Managers to own AS Spinco stock as described in such Section 7.05 and (B) the guidelines set forth in Schedule 7.5 to the Employee Matters Agreement for implementing such provisions.

Section 3.05. AS Spinco Consolidated Group. AS Spinco shall timely elect to file a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return pursuant to Section 1.1502-75(a) of the Regulations for taxable years beginning after the Distribution Date and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that is, or is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as, an eligible U.S. domestic corporation to join in the filing of such consolidated Tax Return for each such taxable year.

Section 3.06. Consistency in Filing Tax Returns.

(a) General. On or after the Distribution Date, neither Capital nor AS Spinco shall, or shall permit any member of its Group to, make or change any accounting method, change its taxable year, amend any Tax Return or take any Tax position on any Tax Return, take any other action, omit to take any action, or enter into any transaction other than in the ordinary course of business, that may reasonably be expected to result in, or does result in, any increased Tax liability of a member of the respective other Group, except with the prior written consent of AS Spinco, in the case of such a change, amendment or other action by the Capital Group, or Capital, in case of such a change, amendment or other action by the AS Spinco Group, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Parties hereto agree to file, and to cause the other members of the Capital Group and the AS Spinco Group, as applicable, to file, all U.S. federal, State and local income Tax Returns in accordance with this Article 3.

(b) Intended Tax Treatment. Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, the Tax treatment reported on any Tax Return of the AS Spinco Group shall be consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. To the extent that there are transactions relating to the Contribution or Distribution that are not covered by the Intended Tax Treatment, Capital shall determine the proper Tax treatment for such transactions and the method of reporting such transactions on any Tax Return, and such treatment and reporting method shall be used by the AS Spinco Group in preparing and filing any Tax Return of the AS Spinco Group.

Section 3.07. Status of AS Spinco and Availability LLC. For a period of not less than two consecutive years immediately following the Distribution Date, (a) AS Spinco shall maintain its status as a separate corporation and not change its classification under U.S. federal income tax law; and (b) AS Spinco will directly own all of the equity interests of Availability LLC, and Availability LLC will remain classified as an entity that is disregarded as separate from AS Spinco (within the meaning of section 301.7701-3 of the Regulations) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. During this period, such classification of Availability LLC shall not be changed without the prior written consent of Capital (as it may determine in its sole discretion).

Section 3.08. Section 336(e) Election.

(a) Protective Section 336(e) Election. Following completion of the Protective Section 336(e) Election Report pursuant to Section 3.08(b) below and subject to compliance by AS Spinco for further documentation provided by Section 3.08(c), the Parties agree that (i) at the written request of AS Spinco not later than the first anniversary of the External Split-Off (an “Election Request”), Capital and AS Spinco shall enter into a written, binding agreement and (ii) Capital shall timely make a protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code (and any similar provision of any state or local jurisdiction) and Regulation section 1.336-2(j) (a “Protective Section 336(e) Election”) with respect to the External Split-Off, in each case, in accordance with Regulation section 1.336-2(h). If the Election Request is made by AS Spinco, Capital shall timely file such forms as may be contemplated by applicable Tax law or administrative practice to effect such Protective Section 336(e) Election and the Parties will cooperate with each other in making the Protective Section 336(e) Election. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall file statements, amend Tax Returns, provide assistance and take such other action as Capital determines in good faith are necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Section 3.08.

To the extent, pursuant to a Final Determination, the External Split-Off constitutes a “qualified stock disposition,” as defined in Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(6), the Parties shall not and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take any position for Tax purposes inconsistent with the relevant Protective Section 336(e) Election, except as may be required pursuant to a Final Determination. For the avoidance of doubt, Capital shall be permitted (as it may determine in its sole discretion) to make an election under Regulation section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii) in accordance with Regulation section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii)(E) and specifying Regulation section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii)(C) as the basis for relief.

(b) Protective Section 336(e) Election Report. No later than three months following the Distribution Date, Capital and AS Spinco shall jointly retain an independent accounting firm and/or law firm of recognized national standing (mutually acceptable to each Party) to assist them in analyzing and preparing a report (the “Protective Section 336(e) Election Report”) discussing the tax consequences and the relevant benefits and costs to the AS Spinco Group and the Capital Group of making a Protective Section 336(e) Election in respect of the External Split-Off, including the potential tax basis step-up in the assets of AS Spinco and its Subsidiaries, the tax effect on the Capital Group and the SunGard Group, and the potential for relief to the Capital Group under Regulation Section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii), and any other relevant matters. The Section 336 Report shall be completed by the six-month anniversary of the Distribution Date (subject to extension as mutually agreed by the Parties) and the out-of-pocket fees, expenses and costs incurred in preparing the Protective Section 336(e) Election Report shall be for the account of and paid by AS Spinco.

(c) Protective Section 336(e) Election Reimbursement. If AS Spinco makes the Election Request, AS Spinco shall reimburse Capital and the other members of the Capital Group for any and all incremental Taxes (including any Taxes resulting from such reimbursement) incurred by or otherwise imposed on Capital and the other members of the Capital Group and the SunGard Group that would not have arisen but for the Protective Section 336(e) Election (and any corresponding provision of State or local law) determined on a with and without basis and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Capital Group in complying with such request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the reimbursement right of the Capital Group shall include the right to be reimbursed for additional Taxes, if any, that would be incurred by the Capital Group, for example, because the basis of AS Spinco Common Stock exceeds the basis of the AS Spinco assets at the time of the External Split-Off or because the Distribution involves multiple distributions of AS Spinco Common Stock by members of the Capital Group or because of disallowed losses. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith and AS Spinco shall cooperate with any reasonable request by Capital in connection with Capital making the Protective Section 336(e) Election, including entering into an agreement supplementing the Capital Group’s right of reimbursement or otherwise addressing points raised in the Protective Section 336(e) Report consistent with the intent of this Section 3.08. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the Parties that the Protective Section 336(e) Election shall be Tax and cost neutral to Capital and the other members of the Capital Group and the SunGard Group and the Tax benefit from any basis step-up in the assets of AS Spinco or other Tax benefit made available to AS Spinco because such election shall be for the account of AS Spinco, provided that nothing in this Section 3.08 shall be read to alter the rights and obligations of the Parties under Section 4.01 in respect of a Distribution Tax.

ARTICLE 4

INDEMNITY

Section 4.01. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by AS Spinco. AS Spinco shall, on an after-Tax basis (as provided in Section 4.06), indemnify Capital, SDS and their respective Subsidiaries against and hold Capital, SDS and their respective Subsidiaries harmless from:

(i) except to the extent such amount relates to Restructuring Taxes or Distribution Taxes, any and all Non-Income Taxes of the AS Spinco Subsidiaries and their operations and assets for Pre-Distribution Periods, Straddle Period Taxes of the AS Spinco Group allocable under Section 2.02(c) to the Post-Distribution Period, and Transfer Taxes allocable to AS Spinco under Section 2.03;

(ii) the AS Spinco Percentage of any amount of Restructuring Tax and Distribution Tax, except to the extent due to a Tainting Act;

(iii) any amount of Restructuring Tax or Distribution Tax resulting from a Tainting Act of any member of the AS Spinco Group, and

(iv) reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred or otherwise paid in connection with matters indemnified against under this Section 4.01(a).

(b) Indemnification by SDS. SDS shall, on an after-Tax basis (as provided in Section 4.06), indemnify AS Spinco and its Subsidiaries against and hold AS Spinco and its Subsidiaries harmless from:

(i) except to the extent such amount relates to Restructuring Taxes or Distribution Taxes or is indemnified by AS Spinco pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(i), any and all Income Taxes payable with respect to any SunGard Consolidated Return, SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return, SunGard Separate Return, AS Spinco Separate Return that is an Income Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period, Straddle Period Income Taxes allocable under Section 2.02(c) to the Pre-Distribution Period, and Transfer Taxes allocable to SDS under Section 2.03;

(ii) the SDS Percentage of any amount of Restructuring Tax and Distribution Tax, except to the extent due to a Tainting Act;

(iii) any amount of Restructuring Tax or Distribution Tax resulting from a Tainting Act of any member of the Capital Group; and

(iv) reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred or otherwise paid in connection with matters indemnified against under this Section 4.01(b).

Section 4.02. Payment for Reduced Tax Benefit Attributes. AS Spinco shall, on an after-Tax basis (as provided in Section 4.06), indemnify Capital, SDS and their respective Subsidiaries against and hold Capital, SDS and their respective Subsidiaries harmless from any amount of Tax that would not have been imposed but for the fact that a Tax Benefit Attribute of a Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary available and actually used by a member of the Capital Group or the SunGard Group is less than if such Tax Benefit Attribute were determined (i) under a closing of the books method pursuant to Section 3.01 and (ii) consistently with Section 3.02(c). If the amount of a Tax Benefit Attribute is adjusted as a result of a Final Determination, the amount of the indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.02 and in accordance with Section 3.01 and Section 3.02(c) shall be adjusted to reflect such Final Determination.

Section 4.03. Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Tax law, any indemnity payment hereunder shall be treated, for all Tax purposes, as made immediately before the First Internal Spin-Off (i) as a distribution by AS Spinco to SDS, if made pursuant to Section 4.01(a), and (ii) as a contribution by SDS to AS Spinco, if made pursuant to Section 4.01(b).

Section 4.04. Timing of Indemnity Payments. Any payment by one Party pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be made within ten Business Days of receipt of a claim of the other Party, but in no event more than five Business Days prior to the due date of the related payment of Taxes to the relevant Taxing Authority, unless explicitly provided otherwise in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Tax is contested, if the Party that has the right to contest such Tax is indemnified, in whole or in part, by the other Party, then the indemnifying Party shall deposit the indemnified portion of the contested amount of Tax with the contesting Party within ten Business Days of receipt of a demand for a deposit from the contesting Party.

Section 4.05. Refunds of Indemnified Taxes. If any portion of Taxes with respect to which one Party is indemnified pursuant to Section 4.01 by another Party is refunded by a Taxing Authority, such refund, including any related interest thereon but net of any cost and expense incurred by the indemnified Party in connection with such refund, shall be the property of the Party that made a payment to the other Party pursuant to Section 4.01, and, if received by the Party that received the indemnification payment pursuant to Section 4.01, such Party shall promptly pay over such refund, including any related interest thereon but net of any cost and expense incurred by the indemnified Party in connection with such refund, to the Party that made the indemnification payment.

Section 4.06. After-Tax Basis. All indemnity payments under this Article IV shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred by the indemnified party arising from the receipt or accrual of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the indemnified party arising from the incurrence or payment of any amount or other loss indemnified against hereunder. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the indemnified party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any amount or other loss indemnified against hereunder. For purposes of this Section 4.06, an indemnified party shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax cost or a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the

amount of Taxes payable (including Taxes payable on an estimated basis) by such indemnified party is increased above or reduced below, as the case may be, the amount of Taxes that such indemnified party would be required to pay but for the receipt or accrual of the indemnity payment or the incurrence or payment of such amount indemnified against as the case may be. The Parties shall make any adjusting payment between each other as is required under this Section 4.06 within ten (10) days of the date an indemnified party is deemed to have actually realized each net Tax benefit or net Tax cost. The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any Final Determination with respect to the indemnified party’s liability for Taxes and any payments necessary to reflect such adjustment shall be made within ten (10) days of such determination.

ARTICLE 5

REFUNDS, AUDITS, CONTROVERSIES, ADJUSTMENTS

Section 5.01. Refunds. Except to the extent set forth in Section 4.05, Capital shall have the right to any Income Tax refunds or other Tax benefits, and any interest thereon, in respect of any SunGard Consolidated Return, any SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return for the payment of which Capital is responsible pursuant to Section 2.02(a) (to the extent of such responsibility), any SunGard Separate Return and any AS Spinco Separate Return that is an Income Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period, and AS Spinco shall promptly pay over to SDS any refund to which Capital is entitled pursuant to this Section 5.01 that is received by a member of the AS Spinco Group (net of any cost or expense incurred in connection with such refund); and AS Spinco shall have the right to any refund of Non-Income Taxes of the AS Spinco Subsidiaries and their operations and assets for Pre-Distribution Periods and any interest thereon and SDS shall promptly pay over to AS Spinco any refund of Non-Income Taxes to which AS Spinco is entitled pursuant to this Section 5.01 that is received by a member of the Capital Group (net of any cost or expense incurred in connection with such refund).

Section 5.02. Notification. If one of the Parties (or any of their respective Subsidiaries) receives any written notice of deficiency, claim or adjustment or any other written communication from a Taxing Authority regarding any Distribution Tax or Restructuring Tax, the Party (or its Subsidiary) receiving such notice or communication shall promptly give written notice thereof to the other Party. AS Spinco shall promptly forward any written notice of deficiency, claim or adjustment or any other written communication that any member of the AS Spinco Group receives from a Taxing Authority to Capital if such notice or communication may relate to any SunGard Consolidated Return, SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return or SunGard Separate Return or any other matter for which Capital or SDS may be liable hereunder. Capital shall promptly forward any written notice of deficiency, claim or adjustment or any other written communication that any member of the Capital Group receives from a Taxing Authority to AS Spinco if such notice or communication may relate to an AS Spinco Separate Return or any other matter for which AS Spinco may be liable hereunder. A failure of Capital and SDS, on the one hand, or AS Spinco, on the other, to comply with this Section 5.02 shall not relieve the other Party of its indemnification obligation hereunder, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the ability of such other Party to contest the liability for the relevant Tax or increases the amount of such liability.

Section 5.03. Contests.

(a) SunGard Consolidated Returns, SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Returns and SunGard Separate Returns. Capital shall have exclusive and sole responsibility and control of the conduct of examinations and audits of any SunGard Consolidated Return, any SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return, or any SunGard Separate Return by any Taxing Authority, and of any refund claims with respect thereto. If a SunGard Consolidated Return, a SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return, or a SunGard Separate Return becomes the subject of litigation in any court, the conduct of the litigation shall be controlled exclusively by Capital. AS Spinco shall assist and cooperate with Capital during the course of any such examination, audit or litigation. AS Spinco shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in any audit, examination or litigation to the extent it relates to a matter for which AS Spinco is required to indemnify Capital pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(iii) and Capital shall not settle such audit, examination or litigation without the prior consent of AS Spinco, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. AS Spinco shall reimburse Capital for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Capital Group that relate to any examination, audit or litigation of any matter for which AS Spinco is required to indemnify Capital within 10 Business Days of receiving an invoice from Capital therefor, including a calculation of the amount of costs and expenses that provides sufficient detail to permit AS Spinco to reasonably understand and identify the calculations, provided if AS Spinco is only liable under this Agreement for a portion of the relevant adjustment, AS Spinco shall only be responsible for a proportionate amount of such costs and expenses.

(b) AS Spinco Separate Returns. Capital shall have exclusive and sole responsibility and control of the conduct of examinations and audits of any AS Spinco Separate Return that is an Income Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Distribution Period (other than in respect of a Straddle Period) by any Taxing Authority and any litigation in respect thereof; provided that Capital will keep AS Spinco reasonably informed of the status and progress of such examination, audit or litigation and Capital shall not settle such audit, examination or litigation without the prior written consent of AS Spinco, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. With respect to Non-Income Tax Returns of AS Spinco Subsidiaries, AS Spinco shall have exclusive and sole control of the conduct of examinations and audits of such Non-Income Tax Returns with respect to a Pre-Distribution Period by any Taxing Authority and any litigation in respect thereof; provided that AS Spinco shall keep Capital reasonably informed of the status and progress of such examination, audit or litigation and AS Spinco shall not settle such examination, audit or controversy without the prior written consent of Capital (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). With respect to an AS Spinco Separate Return that is an Income Tax Return for a Straddle Period, the Party with the greater burden of the potential adjustment shall be entitled to control the conduct of any examination and audit of such AS Spinco Separate Return by any Taxing Authority and any litigation in respect thereof; provided that the non-controlling Party shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in any audit, examination or litigation, the controlling Party shall not settle such audit, examination or litigation without the prior consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Capital and AS Spinco shall each assist and cooperate with the other Party during the course of any such proceeding.

Section 5.04. Adjustments After Final Determination. If, as a result of a Final Determination, an adjustment by a Taxing Authority to Income Taxes or Non-Income Taxes is made with respect to a SunGard Consolidated Return, a SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return, a SunGard Separate Return or an AS Spinco Separate Return, the allocation of liability and payment for Taxes shall be made in accordance with Section 2.02 and Section 4.01.

Section 5.05. Certain Compensation Deductions. If, as a result of a Final Determination, a Party (or its Subsidiary) that claimed a deduction pursuant to Section 3.04 is not allowed that deduction, in whole or in part, the other Party (or its Subsidiary) shall, upon request by such first Party, make a claim for such deductions if the taxable year to which such deductions would relate is not yet closed; provided, that the first Party has furnished the other Party (1) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the other Party that such deduction by the other Party (or one of its Subsidiaries) is more likely than not to be sustained based on the Final Determination and (2) an acknowledgement that the first Party will reimburse the other Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the other Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) in connection with claiming such deduction. The other Party shall pay the first Party an amount equal to the amount by which the Taxes of the other Party have been actually reduced, as reflected on an amended Tax Return or claim for a refund, as a result of such deduction in such taxable year, or any prior or future taxable year to which such deductions may be carried, (the “Mitigation Amount”) assuming that such deductions will be treated as used after any other Tax Benefit Attribute of the claiming Party; provided that, if such deduction by such other Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) is not sustained in whole or in part in a Final Determination, the Party that received the Mitigation Amount shall return to the Party that paid the Mitigation Amount an amount equal to the reduction in the Mitigation Amount (if any) as a result of such Final Determination; provided, further, that the other Party shall be required to pay the first Party in respect of any Tax benefit realized in a future year only at the time when such benefit is actually realized (as determined under the principles of Section 4.06).

AS Spinco shall furnish to Capital the Tax Package for the relevant SunGard Consolidated Return, SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return, SunGard Separate Return or AS Spinco Separate Return in respect of a taxable year no later than 90 days after the close of the relevant taxable year or, in the case of a short taxable year, no more than 60 days after Capital requests AS Spinco to complete such Tax Package. AS Spinco shall also furnish Capital work papers and other such information and documentation as is reasonably requested by Capital for Tax preparation purposes with respect to any member of the AS Spinco Group or any AS Spinco Subsidiary.

Section 6.02. Capital Tax Information. Capital shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to AS Spinco, as soon as practicable after AS Spinco’s request, such information and data in respect of AS Spinco Separate Returns that are Non-Income Tax Returns for Pre-Distribution Periods or information concerning any Tax Benefit Attributes that were allocated to a member of the AS Spinco Group if such information is reasonably necessary for AS Spinco to complete and timely file any Tax Returns that AS Spinco may be required to file with respect to the activities of any member of the AS Spinco Group, to respond to audits by any Taxing Authorities with respect to such activities, to prosecute or defend claims for Taxes in any administrative or judicial proceeding and to otherwise enable AS Spinco to satisfy its accounting and tax requirements. In addition, Capital shall make available to AS Spinco Capital’s knowledgeable employees for such purpose.

Section 6.03. Record Retention. Each of AS Spinco, on the one hand, and Capital and SDS, on the other, (and their respective Subsidiaries) shall retain all books, records, documentation or other information relied on or otherwise used in the preparation of any SunGard Consolidated Return, SunGard-AS Spinco Combined Return or SunGard Separate Return reflecting AS Spinco Assets for taxable periods beginning before the Distribution Date and any AS Spinco Separate Return until the later of the six-year anniversary of the filing of the relevant Tax Return or the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations (including, in each case, any extension thereof). Upon the expiration of the relevant period, the foregoing information may be destroyed or disposed of; provided, however, that (i) the Party retaining the documentation or other information provides sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other party describing, in reasonable detail, the documentation to be destroyed or disposed of and (ii) such other Party agrees in writing to such destruction or disposal. If a Party objects to the proposed destruction or disposal, then the other Party shall promptly deliver such materials to the objecting party or continue to retain such materials, in either case at the expense of the objecting party.

Section 6.04. Cooperation. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another in a timely manner with respect to any matter arising hereunder, including the preparation and execution of memoranda and representations, the execution of any document that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any audit or contest, the filing or amending of a Tax Return or obtaining any Tax Opinion or private letter ruling.

(i) prior to entering into each such Restricted Transaction, the Party entering into such Restricted Transaction receives either a ruling from the IRS or a Favorable Tax Opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party, to the effect that the Restricted Transaction should not cause the Distribution, the Debt Exchange, the Debt Repayment or the Contribution to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment in whole or in part; and
