Mr. Bertrand Sciard

Dear Bertrand:

As we have discussed, the Board of Directors of Geac Computer Corporation
Limited ("Geac") has decided to initiate a process whereby more shareholder
value may be achieved through potentially a divestiture of the Company or some
other such means. As such, the Board has agreed to provide you with the
following arrangements in consideration of your value towards this process
during this period.

You will be provided with the following arrangements:

1.       Geac has granted to you, subject to regulatory approval, effective as
         of August 4, 2000 options to purchase common shares of the Company in
         an amount equal to the total number of options you held currently
         outstanding as at August 4, 2000, with such options to vest 25 percent
         upon the execution of this agreement, with the balance to vest 25
         percent per year on the anniversary date of the date of grant. In the
         event of a Change in Control as defined In Schedule "A", all unvested
         options shall vest.

2.       Upon a Change in Control and a Change Affecting Your Employment (as
         defined in Schedule "A") with the Company, you will immediately receive
         a lump sum payment equal to your annual salary and your annual target
         bonus.

3.       Upon termination from the Company without cause, you will immediately
         receive a lump sum payment for severance equal to your annual salary
         and your annual target bonus, or the severance provided for in your
         employment agreement, whichever is greater.

4.       In order for you to obtain independent legal advice with respect to
         this agreement, Geac Computer Corporation Limited will honor the
         reasonable account of a lawyer of your choice who specializes in
         employment law.

The payments described in this agreement are in full and final satisfaction of
any and all claims or possible claims, including claims pursuant to your
existing employment agreement.

Bertrand, please be advised that in our view the above provides for you and
creates an incentive for you to remain with Geac through the upcoming period
focused on increasing shareholder value. If, after reviewing same and obtaining
independent legal advice you agree, please sign a copy of this letter signifying
your acceptance and return it to me.

Yours truly,

"William Nelson"
