GRANTED UNDER THE REYNOLDS AND REYNOLDS COMPANY (&#147;Company&#148;)<BR>
2004 EXECUTIVE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN (&#147;Plan&#148;)</B></FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt; text-indent: 4%">Under the authority of the Plan, the Compensation Committee (&#147;Committee&#148;) hereby grants to
Recipient (&#147;You&#148;) Stock Options (&#147;Options&#148;) to purchase all or a portion of the number of the
Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Common Shares (&#147;Shares&#148;) shown on your Stock Option Agreement &#147;Agreement&#148; at the
per share price also shown there (&#147;Option Price&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">1.&nbsp;The Options last for seven years from the date of grant shown on your Agreement. They can be
terminated earlier in certain circumstances under the terms of the Plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">2.&nbsp;The Options are exercisable in 33% increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of
the date of grant and expire on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant unless exercised
before then. For Incentive Stock Options, this is subject to the $100,000 limitation (fair market
value as of the date of grant) as to which incentive stock options first exercisable during any
calendar year may not exceed. If there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of the
Company, the Options become immediately exercisable even if not yet exercisable by their terms. To
exercise Options, You must deliver to the Stock Plan Administrator: a) written notice of intent
to exercise the Options; and b) payment (cash or check in U. S. dollars or a sufficient number of
mature Shares already owned or a combination of cash and Shares) of the Option Price times the
number of Options being exercised. Payment may also be made by Cashless Exercise as described in
Sections&nbsp;7.2(e) of the Plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">3.&nbsp;The Options are not transferable except by your will or by the state laws which apply to a
person dying without a will. While You are alive, only You (or your court-appointed guardian) may
exercise the Options.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">4a. If You resign or if your employment is terminated by the Company, You have 60&nbsp;days to exercise
any vested Options which were vested on the date of your resignation or termination. If your
employment is terminated for cause, all of your Options will cancel immediately.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">4b. Subject to the express terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee has the power to
interpret the Plan and to take sure action(s) as it deems equitable.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">5.&nbsp;Until You exercise the Options and Shares have been issued in your name, You do not have any of
the rights or privileges (such as receiving dividends or voting at the Annual Meeting) of a
shareholder of the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">6.&nbsp;The Options are subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws. You may not exercise
the Options if that exercise or the Company&#146;s issuance of Shares would violate any law.
