Mr. Charles S. Jones

Bedford Hills, NY 10507-2235
USA

Dear Charles:

This letter will confirm the terms of your continuing employment as an officer
of Geac Computer Corporation Limited ("Geac") in the capacity of Chairman. This
letter is effective as at December 4, 2001.

The Board recognizes the extraordinary efforts you have expended on behalf of
Geac as Chairman for nominal consideration. It is the desire of the Board that
you continue these efforts. In that vein, you shall continue to serve Geac
faithfully to the best of your ability and shall, subject to your continued
obligations as a member of the Board of Directors and Committees of the Board of
First Funding Corporation (and Chairman) and certain other corporations that you
have disclosed to Geac, and acting as an investor individually and in
partnerships, throughout the term of your employment devote your reasonable and
necessary working time and attention to the business and affairs of Geac and
shall use your best efforts to maintain and advance that business while
continuing to supervise the President and Chief Executive Officer as the Board's
representative between meetings of the Board.


REPORTING RELATIONSHIP

As Chairman, you will report to the Board of Directors. You acknowledge that
your powers as Chairman are those delegated to you from time to time by the
Board of Directors in accordance with Geac's By-Laws and that the By-Laws
provide that each officer shall hold office during the pleasure of the Board. It
is understood and agreed that you will provide corporate information to the
Board of Directors and the Chair of any Committee of the Board as requested or
as required on a reasonably timely basis.


TERM

Your employment is for an indefinite term, subject to the termination provisions
as outlined in this letter.

You agree that Geac may require you at any time during your employment to
perform your duties from various locations; but you shall not be required to
move your residence.

DETAILS OF YOUR REMUNERATION

(i)      BASE SALARY

         Your base salary will be U.S.$250,000 per annum effective December 4,
         2001, subject to annual review. This will be paid in semi-monthly
         instalments subject to all proper withholding taxes and any deductions
         attributable to your required or elective contributions to the benefits
         provided by Geac, including the benefits referred to in Section 3 of
         this letter.

(ii)     BONUS

         You shall also be entitled to a bonus determined at the discretion of
         the Board based upon Geac's financial performance.

(iii)    STOCK OPTIONS

         You are hereby granted options (the "Options") to acquire 600,000 Geac
         common shares (the "Shares") with an exercise price per Share equal to
         the arithmetic average of the high and low board lot prices of the
         Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the five trading days
         immediately preceding December 4, 2001, namely Cdn.$6.37. These Options
         are granted subject to, and shall be governed by, the terms and
         provisions of Geac's Stock Option Plan VI. The Options shall vest on
         December 4, 2002. The "Option Period" as defined in the Plan for the
         Options shall be ten years commencing December 4, 2001. For the
         avoidance of doubt, the stock appreciation rights for 200,000 units at
         an exercise price of Cdn.$4.20 discussed with you prior to the date
         hereof shall not be granted to you and do not form part of this
         agreement. In addition, the Board recognizes with gratitude your
         willingness to accept 600,000 options instead of the 1,000,000
         originally discussed in order to provide room under the Plan for
         options to be granted to others.

(iv)     GROUP BENEFITS

         You will be entitled to receive and participate in all of Geac's
         standard employee benefit plans, and to receive additional disability
         coverage at the discretion of the Board of Directors, subject to your
         qualification for such coverage. To the extent the value of all or any
         of these group benefits are included in your income for income tax
         purposes, your base salary shall be grossed up in order to compensate
         you for income tax payable in respect of such group benefits up to a
         maximum of US$50,000 per calendar year.

(v)      ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

         Geac shall pay your reasonable annual dues in a golf club.

                                     - 3 -

(vi)     AUTOMOBILE

         During the period of your employment an automobile shall be made
         available to you by Geac pursuant to a three-year closed end lease
         under which the monthly payments, payable by Geac, shall not exceed
         U.S.$800 plus taxes. Geac shall also pay all operating costs plus
         insurance for the automobile. Until such leased automobile is provided
         to you, Geac shall pay you U.S.$800 per month as a car allowance
         retroactive to December 4, 2001.

(vii)    VACATION

         During each year of your employment you will be entitled to 5 weeks
         paid vacation to be taken at mutually agreeable times.

(viii)   TAXES

         Provided that you do not become a resident of Canada for purposes of
         the Income Tax Act (Canada), Geac shall also pay to you such amounts as
         will cause the net tax cost to you of your Base Salary, Bonuses and
         Benefits to be no greater than the tax you would have paid as a
         resident of the state of New York, taking into account for this purpose
         any tax on amounts payable to you under this paragraph up to a maximum
         of U.S.$100,000 per calendar year.

For greater certainty, you acknowledge that during the term of this letter
agreement you will not be entitled to receive any additional retainers or
meeting fees as Chairman or Director of Geac.

VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION

You agree that you will not voluntarily resign without providing Geac with at
least 30 days written notice of your intention to resign. Upon the effective
date of your resignation, Geac shall pay you all unpaid salary, including a
credit for any vacation earned but not taken.

TERMINATION FOR JUST CAUSE

Geac shall have the right to terminate your employment at any time for just
cause. In the event your employment is terminated for just cause you will
receive on the date of termination a payment equal to all unpaid salary,
including credit for any vacation earned but not taken, and a reimbursement of
all legitimate expenses incurred up to the date of termination. You will not be
paid any bonus payment if you are terminated for just cause.

                                     - 4 -

TERMINATION WITHOUT JUST CAUSE

Geac shall have the right to terminate your employment at any time without just
cause. In the event you are terminated without just cause, you shall be entitled
to receive all unpaid salary to the date of termination, and termination or
severance pay which shall be calculated as follows (the "Termination Payment"):
during the first six months, one month severance for each complete month worked;
after six months, one year's severance, payment for any vacation earned but not
taken prior to the date of notice of termination, and maintenance of any
benefits in accordance with the Employment Standards Act 2000. You will also be
reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred up to the date of termination.
All unvested Options and SARs previously granted shall become fully vested and
remain exercisable for 30 days following receipt by you of notice of
termination. All payments and amounts will be subject to statutory and other
required deductions.

It is agreed that the payments and benefits described in this paragraph are in
full and final satisfaction of any claims associated with the termination of
your employment under the Employment Standards Act 2000, any other relevant
statute or at common law.

CHANGE IN CONTROL AND CHANGE AFFECTING YOUR EMPLOYMENT

1.       In the event of a Change in Control and a Change Affecting Your
         Employment within 12 months of a Change in Control, you may elect to
         resign from Geac within 120 days of the Change in Control and Change
         Affecting Your Employment. In the event of your resignation, you will
         be provided with the following:

(a)      On the effective date of your resignation, Geac will pay you the
         Termination Payment, calculated as though such effective date was the
         effective date of the termination of your employment by Geac for a
         reason other than cause; and

2.       In such event, you will also be paid, credited or reimbursed, as the
         case may be, for all unpaid salary (including credit for any vacation
         earned but not taken), all unpaid bonuses, all accrued bonuses (such
         bonuses to be determined on a proportionate basis having regards to the
         proportion of the fiscal year which has elapsed), expenses, benefits
         and other amounts payable to you or earned by you up to the date of
         resignation. Also, in such event, all unvested Options and SARs
         previously granted shall become fully vested and remain exercisable for
         30 days following your resignation as aforesaid.

3.       In no case will you be entitled to both a payment for termination for
         any reason other than cause and for a termination in the event of a
         Change in Control and Change Affecting Your Employment.

For the purposes of this Letter Agreement, "Change in Control" and "Change
Affecting Your Employment" are defined as set out in Schedule "C".

Geac in writing immediately upon having any knowledge to the contrary of any
conflict or potential conflict.
