- 2 -

		covering securities of the same class and series as the Equity Shares covered by the restriction in Section 1.1 above;
	1.1.2	if CGI Board, in its good faith judgement determines, and BCE, acting reasonably, agrees that such transaction would have a material adverse effect on any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger involving CGI that has already been approved by CGI Board; or
	1.1.3	if any such transaction would not be concluded in an orderly manner.
1.2	The provisions of Section 1.1 shall not apply to (i) the tender of Equity Shares under a Take-over Bid for such class of Equity Shares or (ii) the sale or transfer of Equity Shares by BCE to any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, or by any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of BCE to BCE or to another Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of BCE, so long as BCE causes such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to whom Equity Shares are transferred to expressly agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
1.3	To the extent that and for so long as Equity Shares are held by any Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of BCE, BCE shall ensure that they remain its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries.
1.4	BCE, Bell and CGI are parties to the Registration Rights Agreement and the parties agree that the Registration Rights Agreement shall remain in effect without modification except to the extent, if any, that an exercise of rights thereunder by BCE or any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries holding Equity Shares would, at such time of exercise, be inconsistent with the provisions of Section 1.1.1.
1.5	BCE undertakes that (i) on January 5, 2004, BCE, Bell and any of their Wholly- Owned Subsidiaries will hold in the aggregate less than thirty percent (30%) of the then outstanding Equity Shares, and that (ii) from the date hereof until January 6, 2004, none of BCE, Bell or any of their respective Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries will acquire any additional Equity Shares if as a result of any such acquisitions BCE, Bell and any of their respective Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries would hold in the aggregate thirty percent (30%) or more of the then outstanding Equity Shares; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.5 is intended to restrict or limit BCE and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries from exercising in full their Pre-emptive Right contained in Article 4 hereof if CGI Issues any Equity Shares or Convertible Securities after the date hereof and prior to January 6, 2004.
1.6	CGI undertakes that, from the date hereof until January 6, 2004, it will not take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in BCE, Bell and any of their respective Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries holding on January 5, 2004 in the aggregate thirty percent (30%) or more of the outstanding Equity Shares on January 5, 2004.
1.7	BCE shall, on January 2, 2004, no later than noon (Montreal time), give to CGI a notice indicating the aggregate number of Equity Shares then held by BCE, Bell

Should such number be thirty percent (30%) or more of the then outstanding Equity Shares, BCE undertakes to dispose or cause any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries holding Equity Shares to immediately dispose of such number of Equity Shares such that BCE complies with its undertaking contained in Section 1.5. The restrictions contained in Section 1.1 shall not apply to any disposition contemplated in this Section 1.5.
1.8	BCE shall, and shall cause Subco to, promptly following the execution of this Agreement by all parties hereto, give to CGI (or its transfer agent) a request to convert all of the Class B Shares held by them at the date hereof into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis as permitted by 3.4.16 of Annex I to the Articles of Amendment of CGI attached to the Certificate of Amendment dated November 25, 1986 issued to CGI.
2.	ELECTION ON CGI BOARD AND ON COMMITTEES THEREOF

	4.1.1	in the case of an Issue of Class A Shares, such number of Class A Shares, such that the ratio, after the Issue, assuming the full exercise of the Pre-emptive Right, of (i) the aggregate number of Equity Shares held by BCE and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and of Equity Shares into which Convertible Securities held by BCE and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries are convertible, to (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding Equity Shares and Equity Shares into which Convertible Securities are convertible, shall be the same as the corresponding ratio before the Issue. The cash consideration to be paid for each such Class A Share subscribed to under the Pre-Emptive Right shall be equal to the issue price (without taking into account any underwriters discount, if any) for each Class A Share pursuant to the Issue;
	4.1.2	in the case of an Issue of Convertible Securities which are convertible into Class A Shares, such number of securities (the “Offered Class A Convertible Securities”) convertible into Class A Shares such that the ratio, after the Issue, assuming the full exercise of the Pre-emptive Right, of (i) the aggregate number of Equity Shares held by BCE and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and of Equity Shares underlying Convertible Securities held by BCE and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, to (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding Equity Shares and of Equity Shares underlying Convertible Securities, shall be the same as the corresponding ratio before the Issue. The cash consideration to be paid for the Offered Class A Convertible Securities subscribed to under the Pre-emptive Right shall be such that the issue price for a

The cash consideration to be paid for each such Other Equity Share or Class A Share, as the case may be, subscribed to under the Pre-emptive Right shall be equal to the issue price (without taking into account any underwriters discount, if any) for each Other Equity Share or Class A Share, as the case may be, pursuant to the Issue;
4.1.4	in the case of an Issue of Class B Shares pursuant to the pre-emptive rights of holders of Class B Shares under the Articles of CGI that would reduce the BCE Equity Position to below twenty percent (20%), such number of Class A Shares, such that the ratio, after the Issue, assuming the full exercise of the Pre-emptive Right, of (i) the aggregate number of Equity Shares held by BCE and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and of Equity Shares into which Convertible Securities held by BCE and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries are convertible, to (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding Equity Shares and Equity Shares into which Convertible Securities are convertible, shall be the same as the corresponding ratio before the issue. The cash consideration to be paid for each such Class A Share subscribed to under the Pre-emptive Right shall be equal to the issue price (without taking into account any underwriters discount, if any) for each Class B Share pursuant to the Issue;
4.1.5	in the case of an Issue of Convertible Securities which are convertible into Other Equity Shares, such number of securities (the “Offered Other Equity Convertible Securities”) convertible into Other Equity Shares such that the ratio, after the Issue, assuming the full exercise of the Pre-emptive Right, of (i) the aggregate number of Equity Shares held by BCE and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and of Equity Shares underlying Convertible Securities held by BCE and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, to (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding

- 7 -

		Equity Shares and of Equity Shares underlying Convertible Securities, shall be the same as the corresponding ratio before the Issue. The cash consideration to be paid for the Offered Other Equity Convertible Securities subscribed to under the Pre-emptive Right shall be such that the issue price for an Other Equity Share underlying an Offered Other Equity Convertible Security shall be equal to the issue price (without taking into account any underwriters discount, if any) for each Other Equity Share underlying the Convertible Security.
4.2	The rights to subscribe for Equity Shares or Convertible Securities pursuant to Section 4.1 shall not apply in the event of the issuance of Equity Shares:
	4.2.1	in payment of stock dividends;
	4.2.2	subject to the provisions of Section 4.5, to directors, officers or employees of CGI or its Affiliates upon exercise of rights granted pursuant to the CGI stock option plan;
	4.2.3	further to the conversion of Class B Shares into Class A Shares pursuant to 3.4.16 of Annex I to the Articles of Amendment of CGI attached to the Certificate of Amendment dated November 25, 1986 issued to CGI or further to the conversion of Class A Shares into Class B Shares pursuant to 3.4.2 of such Annex, or further to the conversion of Class B Shares into Class A Shares pursuant to the equivalent corresponding provisions of any subsequent Articles of Amendment of CGI, if any; or

4.3	To allow for the exercise of the Pre-emptive Right, the Secretary of CGI shall give to BCE written notice not less than ten (10) Business Days before the proposed Issue, indicating the number and class of Equity Shares or Convertible Securities to which BCE (and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries holding Equity Shares) is entitled to subscribe and the price, terms and conditions of such subscription.
4.4	Subject to the provisions of Section 4.7, the Pre-emptive Right shall be exercised by BCE (and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries holding Equity Shares) at the time of closing of the Issue, failing which it shall be deemed to have waived its Pre-emptive Right with respect to such Issue. BCE (and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries holding Equity Shares) may subscribe for fewer than the total number of Equity Shares or Convertible Securities to which they are entitled according to the provisions of Section 4.1.
4.5	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2.2, if the issuance of Equity Shares to directors, officers or employees of CGI or its Affiliates upon exercise of rights granted pursuant to the CGI stock option plan, would reduce (or has reduced) the BCE Equity Position to below twenty percent (20%), CGI shall immediately provide to BCE written notice of such event. BCE may, within thirty (30) days

- 8 -

	after its receipt of such notice from CGI, elect (by written notice to CGI) to subscribe (directly, or through any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) to such number of Class A Shares as are necessary to allow BCE to maintain, immediately after such subscription, the same BCE Equity Position as the BCE Equity Position immediately prior to such issuance. CGI shall, upon receipt of written notice from BCE electing to subscribe to additional Class A Shares under this Section 4.5, promptly issue such additional Class A Shares to BCE (or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of BCE specified by BCE). For purposes of clarity, the parties expressly agree that if BCE has provided timely notice to CGI that it elects to subscribe (directly or indirectly) to additional Class A Shares pursuant to this Section 4.5, then at all times from the date (if any) the BCE Equity Position has been reduced to less than twenty percent (20%) as a result of exercises of rights granted pursuant to the CGI stock option plan and until the date of issuance by CGI of such additional Class A Shares as provided in this Section 4.5 pursuant to such notice of election by BCE, BCE shall retain without interruption all rights of BCE hereunder which are predicated on the BCE Equity Position being of at least twenty percent (20%). The consideration to be paid for each such Class A Share pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be the Average Market Price for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the issuance of such Class A Shares under this Section 4.5.
4.6	All Equity Shares or Convertible Securities subscribed for by BCE (or any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 4 shall be fully paid and non assessable upon their issue by CGI and, upon receipt of a cheque made to the order of CGI covering the total subscription price, CGI shall remit to BCE a certificate representing the subject Equity Shares or Convertible Securities (as the case may be) thus subscribed, which shall then be registered in its name in CGI’s registers.
4.7	Should BCE (and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiary holding Equity Shares at the time of an Issue) not exercise its Pre-emptive Right to acquire Convertible Securities at the time of closing of the Issue, BCE (and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries holding Equity Shares at the time of an Issue) shall, at the time and to the extent of the exercise of the conversion or acquisition rights attached to the Convertible Securities issued at the closing of the Issue, be entitled to subscribe to such number of Class A Shares or, as the case may be, Other Equity Shares as are necessary to allow BCE to maintain, immediately after such subscription, the same BCE Equity Position as the BCE Equity Position immediately prior to the exercise of the above-mentioned conversion or acquisition rights. CGI shall immediately provide to BCE written notice of such exercise of the above-mentioned conversion or acquisition rights. BCE may, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice from CGI, elect (by written notice to CGI) to subscribe (directly, or through any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) to such number of Class A Shares or, as the case may be, Other Equity Shares, as aforesaid. CGI shall, upon receipt of written notice from BCE electing to subscribe to additional Class A Shares or, as the case may be, Other Equity Shares under this Section 4.7, promptly issue such additional Class A Shares or, as the case may be, Other Equity Shares to BCE (or

- 9 -

	any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of BCE specified by BCE). For purposes of clarity, the parties expressly agree that if BCE has provided timely notice to CGI that it elects to subscribe (directly or indirectly) to additional Class A Shares or, as the case may be, Other Equity Shares pursuant to this Section 4.7, then at all times from the date (if any) the BCE Equity Position has been reduced to less than twenty percent (20%) as a result of exercises of the above-mentioned conversion or acquisition rights and until the date of issuance by CGI of such additional Class A Shares or, as the case may be, Other Equity Shares, as provided in this Section 4.7 pursuant to such notice of election by BCE, BCE shall retain without interruption all rights of BCE hereunder which are predicated on the BCE Equity Position being of at least twenty percent (20%). The consideration to be paid for each Class A Share or, as the case may be, each Other Equity Share pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be the Average Market Price for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the issuance of such Class A Shares or, as the case may be, each Other Equity Shares under this Section 4.7, provided that, in the case of an issuance of Other Equity Shares under this Section 4.7, the consideration to be paid for such Other Equity Shares may be subject to adjustment as may be (a) required by applicable exchanges in connection with the conversion terms (including price) of the Convertible Securities under which such Convertible Securities were converted and subject to agreement by BCE, acting reasonably, or (b) mutually agreed by CGI and BCE, each acting reasonably, in the event such Other Equity Shares are not then listed on an exchange.
4.8	The provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.5 and 4.7 and the exercise of the Pre-emptive Right shall be subject to (i) all applicable securities laws and applicable rules of the exchanges to which CGI is subject, and (ii) any exemptions and consents obtained from such exchanges.
