Dear Sir/Madam,
   
The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Transaction entered into between Goldleaf Financial Solutions Inc and Bank of America, N.A. (each a “party” and together “the parties”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below (the “Agreement”).
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2006 ISDA Definitions, as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., (the “Definitions”) are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern.
This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between the parties as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. In addition, the parties agree to use all reasonable efforts promptly to negotiate, execute and deliver an agreement in the form of an ISDA Master Agreement, with such modifications as the parties will in good faith agree. Upon the execution by the parties of such an agreement, this Confirmation will supplement, form a part of, and be subject to that agreement. All provisions contained or incorporated by reference in that agreement upon its execution will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified below. Until the parties execute and deliver that agreement, this Confirmation, together with all other documents referring to an ISDA Master Agreement (each a “Confirmation”) confirming transactions (each a “Transaction”) entered into between the parties (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in a Confirmation), shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency – Cross Border) if any Confirmation dated prior to the date of this Confirmation refers to that ISDA Master Agreement and otherwise the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement as if the parties had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule) on the Trade Date of the first such Transaction between the parties. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of this Transaction.
