      Re: The Reynolds and Reynolds Company – Credit Agreement dated April 8, 2004

Dear [Contact]:

We refer to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2004, as amended on January 14, 2005, December 27, 2005 and February 23, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), among The Reynolds and Reynolds Company, as Borrower (the “Company”), Reyna Capital Corporation, as Co-Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent.

As we have previously discussed with you, the Company intends to provide you with copies of its [unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 and the quarter ended December 31, 2005]1 (the “Unaudited Financial Information”) in connection with its obligations under Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement and the Company’s ongoing response to comments by the Securities and Exchange Commission related to certain of the Company’s periodic reports.

Please note that the Company hereby identifies the information contained in this letter and the Unaudited Financial Information (the “Confidential Information”) as confidential pursuant to Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, and in consideration for the Company’s furnishing to you with the Confidential Information, you hereby acknowledge and agree that the Confidential Information shall be subject to the confidentiality restrictions provided in Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that clause (f) of Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement shall not apply to the Confidential Information. You agree that with respect to your disclosure of the Confidential Information pursuant to clauses (a) or (d) of Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement, you shall not make any such disclosure unless the receiving party agrees to act in accordance with the provisions set forth in this letter and be bound hereby by delivering to the Company an executed letter substantially in the form hereof. You agree that with respect to your disclosure of the Confidential Information pursuant to clauses (c) or (e) of Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement, you will, as soon as practicable and before such disclosure has occurred, notify the Company of the proposed disclosure. You agree that with respect to your disclosure of the Confidential Information pursuant to clause (b) of Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement, you will use reasonable efforts to, as soon as practicable and before such disclosure has occurred, notify the Company of the proposed disclosure; provided, that your failure to provide such notice shall not be considered a breach of your confidentiality obligations hereunder. You agree that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the provisions of this letter by you and that the Company would be irreparably harmed in the event of such a breach. Accordingly the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies or money damages, to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach.

If the terms set forth in this letter are acceptable to you, please acknowledge your agreement by signing below and returning this letter to my attention.

Very truly yours,
