Section 1.2 Duties of Collection Agent.
(a) The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect, administer and service each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, applicable Law, rules and regulations, applicable customary and usual industry standards reflecting prudent management of similar assets, and in accordance with the SunGard Financial Policy, but without regard to any relationship the Collection Agent may have with any Obligor or any other Person who is a party to the Loan Documents. In the enforcement or collection of any such amount, the Collection Agent shall be entitled to ▇▇▇ thereon (1) in its own name or (2) if, but only if, SunGard Funding consents in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), as agent for SunGard Funding subject, in either case, to the consent of the Controlling Party. In no event shall the Collection Agent be entitled to take any action which would make SunGard Funding a party to any litigation without the express prior written consent of SunGard Funding and the Controlling Party.
(b) The Collection Agent will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lockbox, Lockbox Account or Collection Account and will cause each Lockbox Bank to remit amounts in each Lockbox into the Collection Account daily. SunGard Parent will cause all Collections in each Lockbox Account to be remitted daily to the applicable Lockbox Account, and will cause all Collections in each Lockbox Account to be reimitted daily to the Collection Account. The Collection Agent shall maintain in effect at all times a Control Agreement with each bank party to a Lockbox, Lockbox Account or Collection Account. In the case of any remittances received in any Lockbox, Lockbox Account or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Collection Agent, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables, the Related Security or related Collections, the Collection Agent shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after any Early Amortization Date, SunGard Funding may request that the Collection Agent, and the Collection Agent thereupon promptly shall, instruct all
2
Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by SunGard Funding and, at all times thereafter, the Collection Agent shall not deposit or otherwise credit any funds to the Collection Account, but rather to such new depositary account.

(c) The Collection Agent may, in accordance with the SunGard Financial Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Collection Agent determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivables or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of SunGard Funding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(d) The Collection Agent shall hold in trust for SunGard Funding all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of SunGard Funding, make available to SunGard Funding all such Records, at a place selected by SunGard Funding.
(e) The Collection Agent will ensure that the Lockboxes, the Lockbox Accounts and the Collection Account will be free and clear of, and defend the Lockboxes, Lockbox Account and the Collection Account against, any writ, order, stay, judgment, warrant of attachment or attachment or Lien (other than a Lien under the Transaction Documents).
Section 1.3 Application of Payments. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any receivable or other obligation owed by it to a Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or Law and unless otherwise instructed by SunGard Funding, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.
Section 1.4 Responsibilities of Collection Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by SunGard Funding of its rights hereunder shall not release the Collection Agent from any of its duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts.
