SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

Subject to Sections 2, 8 and 12, the Plan shall be administered by the
Committee, the whole subject to applicable corporate and securities law
requirements. The Committee shall have full and complete authority to interpret
the Plan, to prescribe such rules and regulations (including those with respect
to the holding of meetings by telephone) and to make such other determinations
as it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. All
actions taken and decisions made by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all parties concerned, including, but not limited to, the
Participants and their beneficiaries and legal representatives, the Corporation
and its shareholders. All expenses of administration of the Plan shall be borne
by the Corporation, including any reasonable brokerage fees relating to the
purchase of Common Shares under the Plan.

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY

The Plan and in particular, the crediting of Share Units further to Section 5
hereof, shall apply to all members of the Board or the Board of directors of any
Subsidiary (which requests the Corporation and the Committee, in its sole
discretion allows such Subsidiaries' directors to participate) and who, at the
time of execution of the Agreement, and at all times thereafter while they
continue to serve as a member of at least one of the Board or the Board of
directors of a Subsidiary, are not employees of the Corporation or any
Subsidiary of the Corporation ("Eligible Directors").

SECTION 5. DEFERRAL OF ANNUAL RETAINER FEES

Each Eligible Director who is a member of the Board shall be paid one hundred
percent (100%) of his or her Annual Retainer Fee in the form of Share Units in
lieu of being paid in cash, and each Eligible Director who is a member of the
Board of directors of a Subsidiary, may at such Eligible Director's option
within the time limits provided by the Corporation, be paid up to one hundred
percent (100%) of the annual retainer fee paid by such Subsidiary in the form of
Share Units in lieu of being paid in cash.

The number of Share Units (including fractional Share Units) to be credited on a
quarterly basis to an Eligible Director's account under Section 9 hereof with
respect to any particular Quarter shall be equal to the quotient determined by
dividing: (a) the entire amount, and, in the case of Eligible Directors who sit
on the Board of Subsidiaries, the selected percentage expressed in dollars, of
the Eligible Director's Quarterly Retainer Fee which would, but for the Plan,
have been paid in cash with respect to such Quarter, by (b) the Market Value of
a Common Share on the Reference Date for such Quarter.

<PAGE>

                                       -5-

A Participant who becomes an employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary of the
Corporation shall no longer be eligible to receive additional Share Units under
the Plan. In that case, starting with the Quarter in which the Participant
became such an employee, all of his or her future Quarterly Retainer Fees, if
any, shall be paid in cash. However, Share Units already credited to such
person's account shall remain governed by the Plan and the Agreement for so long
as the person remains a member of the Board or Board of directors of a
Subsidiary or an employee of the Corporation or an employee of a Subsidiary.

SECTION 6. EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT

Each Eligible Director shall, as soon as practicable after the date on which the
annual general meeting of the Corporation is held in 1997 and at which he or she
is elected as a member of the Board or, in the case of Eligible Directors who
shall become members of the Board or Board of directors of any Subsidiary after
such date, as soon as practicable after the date on which his or her term as a
member of the Board or Board of directors of any Subsidiary commenced, enter
into an Agreement with the Corporation. Such Agreement shall set out certain
rights and obligations of the parties thereto with respect to all of the Share
Units which shall, under the Plan, be credited to the account of a Participant,
and shall remain in full force and effect until all such Share Units shall have
been cancelled.

SECTION 7. DIVIDENDLIKE AMOUNTS

A Participant shall, from time to time during the term of the Participant's
Agreement, including the period following Termination of Board Service and until
the Entitlement Date referred to in Section 8 hereof, be credited with
additional Share Units, the number of which shall be equal to the quotient
determined by dividing: (i) the product determined by multiplying (a) one
hundred percent (100%) of each dividend declared and paid by the Corporation on
its Common Shares on a per share basis (excluding stock dividends, but including
dividends which may be paid in cash or in shares at the option of the
shareholder), by (b) the number of Share Units recorded in the Participant's
account on the record date for the payment of any such dividend, by (ii) the
Market Value of a Common Share on the dividend payment date for such dividend,
with fractions computed to four decimal places.

SECTION 8. PAYMENT OF SHARE UNITS

Except as may be determined by the Committee, and approved by the Board, or
except as set forth below in this Section 8, the entitlement date ("Entitlement
Date") of a Participant with respect to whom Termination of Board Service has
occurred shall be the fourth trading day following the release of the
Corporation's quarterly or annual results immediately following Termination of
Board Service by the Participant, provided that if a Participant's Termination
of Board Service shall occur

<PAGE>

                                       -6-

on the same date as the release of the Corporation's results, the Entitlement
Date shall, in such a case, be the fifth trading day immediately following such
release of the Corporation's results. A Participant shall receive, in
satisfaction of the number of Share Units recorded in the Participant's account
on the Entitlement Date, a number of Common Shares to be purchased on the open
market equal to the number of Share Units then recorded in the account of the
Participant, or as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 19 hereof, and reduced by
any applicable withholding taxes and other source deductions reflected in the
form of Share Units, required by law to be withheld by the Corporation in
connection with the total payments made in satisfaction of the Participant's
Share Units.

If the Entitlement Date would otherwise fall between the record date for a
dividend on the Common Shares and the related dividend payment date, the
Entitlement Date shall be the day immediately following the date of payment of
such dividend for purposes of recording in the account of the Participant
amounts referred to in Section 7 hereof and making the calculation of Share
Units contemplated by this Section 8. In the event that the Corporation is
unable, by a Participant's Entitlement Date, to compute the final number of
Share Units credited to such Participant's account by reason of the fact that
any data required in order to compute the Market Value of a Common Share has not
been made available to the Corporation, then the Entitlement Date shall be the
next following trading day on which such data is made available to the
Corporation.

Prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Entitlement Date, the Corporation shall notify the
Broker as to the number of Common Shares to be purchased by the Broker on behalf
of the Participant on the open market. As soon as practicable thereafter, the
Broker shall purchase on the open market the number of Common Shares which the
Corporation has requested the Broker to purchase and notify the Participant and
the Corporation of: a) the aggregate purchase price ("Aggregate Purchase Price")
of the Common Shares, b) the purchase price per Common Share or, if the Common
Shares were purchased at different prices, the average purchase price (computed
on a weighted average basis) per Common Share ("Price per Common Share"), c) the
amount of any related reasonable brokerage commission, and d) the settlement
date for the purchase of the Common Shares. On the settlement date, upon payment
of the Aggregate Purchase Price and related reasonable brokerage commission by
the Corporation, the Broker shall deliver to the Participant or to his
representative the certificate representing the Common Shares. Any entitlement
to fractional Share Units shall be paid in cash based on the Price per Common
Share.

In cases of Participants who are citizens or residents of a country other than
Canada, the Corporation shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pay
entirely in cash the value, as computed under the Plan, of a Participant's Share
Unit entitlement (less any applicable withholdings), should it deem the
regulatory or other requirements of the applicable foreign jurisdiction
associated with the purchase of, or payment in, Common Shares too onerous to it
or to the Participant.

                                       -7-

SECTION 9. PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT

The Corporation shall maintain in its books an account for each Plan Participant
recording at all times the number of Share Units standing to the credit of the
Participant. Upon payment in satisfaction of Share Units, such Share Units shall
be cancelled. A written confirmation of the balance in the account shall be
mailed by the Corporation to the Participant at least annually.

A Participant, together with the applicable Subsidiary, may request and the
Corporation may permit to accept a Participant's election to have the number of
share units (including fractional share units) recorded in his or her account
under the share unit plan of a Subsidiary transferred, if such plan allows for
such transfers, to the Participant's account under the Plan; upon such transfer
and credit of the Share Units to the Participant's account under the Plan, the
Share Units so transferred shall be governed by the Plan. A Participant's
account under the Plan may be credited with a number of Share Units equal to the
number of share units credited to the account of such Participant under the
share unit plan of a Subsidiary for which the Corporation assumes responsibility
upon the liquidation of such Subsidiary.

SECTION 10. DEFERRAL OF OTHER FEES

The Committee may, at its discretion, allow an Eligible Director to receive his
or her fees, other than Annual Retainer Fees, otherwise payable in cash, in the
form of Share Units. Any such payment in the form of Share Units shall be
subject to such conditions as the Committee may impose.

SECTION 11. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN

The effective date of the Plan shall be May 1, 1997.

SECTION 12. AMENDMENTS TO, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF, THE PLAN

The Board may from time to time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or
in part. However, any such amendment, suspension or termination shall not
adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Agreement existing at
the time of such amendment, suspension or termination without the consent of the
affected Participant.

If the Board terminates the Plan, Share Units previously credited shall, at the
discretion of the Board, either (a) become immediately payable in accordance
with the terms of the Plan in effect at such time, or (b) remain outstanding and
in effect and paid in due course in accordance with their applicable terms and
conditions.

                                       -8-

SECTION 13. PURCHASES ON THE OPEN MARKET

Purchases of Common Shares pursuant to the Plan shall be made on the open market
by a broker independent from the Corporation designated by the Participant and
who is a member of The Toronto Stock Exchange ("Broker"). Any such designation
may be changed from time to time. Upon designation of a Broker or at any time
thereafter, the Corporation may elect to provide the designated Broker with a
letter agreement to be executed by the Broker and entered into with the
Participant and to which the Corporation would also be a party, setting forth,
inter alia, (i) the Broker's concurrence to being so designated, to acting for
the Participant's account in accordance with customary usage of the trade with a
view to obtaining the best share price for the Participant, and to delivering to
the Participant or his/her representative the share certificate for the Common
Shares purchased upon payment by the Corporation of the purchase price and
related reasonable brokerage commission, and (ii) the Corporation's agreement to
notify the Broker of the number of Common Shares to be purchased and to pay the
purchase price and the related reasonable brokerage commission, provided however
that no terms of said letter agreement shall have the effect of making the
Broker or deeming the Broker to be an affiliate of (or not independent from) the
Corporation for purposes of any applicable corporate, securities or stock
exchange requirement.

The Share Units, and any related Common Shares that may be delivered under the
Plan, have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 as of the
effective date of the Plan and the Corporation has no obligation to register
such units or shares. The said Common Shares may not be offered or sold in the
United States unless registered or an exemption from registration is available.

SECTION 14. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS

Except as specifically set out in the Plan or Agreement, no Eligible Director,
Participant or other person shall have any claim or right to any Common Shares
deliverable in payment of Share Units granted pursuant to the Plan.

Under no circumstances shall Share Units be considered Common Shares nor shall
they entitle any Participant to exercise voting rights or any other rights
attaching to the ownership of the Common Shares, nor shall any Participant be
considered the owner of the Common Shares until after the date of the purchase
of such Common Shares on the open market.

SECTION 15. DEATH OF PARTICIPANT

In the event of a Participant's death, any and all Share Units then credited to
the Participant's

<PAGE>

                                       -9-

account shall become payable to the Participant's estate in accordance with
Section 8 hereof.

SECTION 16. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS

Any obligation of the Corporation with respect to its Common Shares pursuant to
the terms of the Plan is subject to compliance with all applicable laws. Should
the Corporation, in its sole discretion, determine that it is not feasible to
make payment of a Share Unit in Common Shares by reason of any such laws, such
obligation shall be satisfied by means of an equivalent cash payment. The
Participant shall comply with all such laws and furnish the Corporation with any
and all information and undertakings as may be required to ensure compliance
therewith.

SECTION 17. WITHHOLDING TAXES

The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct any amount of withholding taxes and
other withholdings from any amount paid or credited hereunder.

SECTION 18. TRANSFERABILITY

In no event may the rights or interests of a Participant under the Plan be
assigned, encumbered, pledged, transferred or alienated in any way, except to
the extent that certain rights may pass to a beneficiary or legal representative
upon death of a Participant, by will or by the laws of succession and
distribution.

SECTION 19. ALTERATION OF NUMBER OF SHARE UNITS SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

In the event that the Common Shares shall be subdivided or consolidated into a
different number of Common Shares, or a dividend shall be declared upon the
Common Shares payable in Common Shares (other than a dividend which may be paid
in cash or in shares at the option of the shareholder), the number of Share
Units then recorded in the Participant's account shall be adjusted by replacing
such number by a number equal to the number of Common Shares which would be held
by the Participant immediately after the dividend, subdivision or consolidation,
should the Participant have held a number of Common Shares equal to the number
of Share Units recorded in the Participant's account on the record date fixed
for such stock dividend, subdivision or consolidation.

<PAGE>

                                      -10-

In the event that the outstanding Common Shares shall be changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Corporation or of
another corporation, whether through an arrangement, amalgamation or other
similar statutory procedure, or a share recapitalization, then there shall be
substituted for each Common Share referred to in the Plan the kind of securities
into which each outstanding Common Share shall be so changed or for which each
such Common Share shall be exchanged and an equitable adjustment shall be made,
if required, in the number of Share Units then recorded in the Participant's
account, such adjustment, if any, to be reasonably determined by the Committee
and to be effective and binding for all purposes.

In the event there shall be any change, other than as specified above in this
section, in the number or kind of outstanding Common Shares or of any securities
into which such Common Shares shall have been changed or for which it shall have
been exchanged, then there shall be substituted for each Common Share referred
to in the Plan or for each security into which such Common Shares shall have
been so changed or exchanged, the kind of securities into which each outstanding
Common Share or each such security shall be so changed or exchanged and an
equitable adjustment shall be made, if required, in the number of Share Units
then recorded in the Participant's account, such adjustment, if any, to be
reasonably determined by the Committee and to be effective and binding for all
purposes.

In the case of any such substitution, change or adjustment as provided for in
this section, the variation shall generally require that the dollar value of the
Share Units then recorded in the Participant's account prior to such
substitution, change or adjustment will be proportionately and appropriately
varied so that it be equal to such dollar value after the variation.

In the event that, at the time contemplated for the purchase of Common Shares
under the Plan, there is no public market for the Common Shares or for
securities substituted therefor as provided by this section, the obligations of
the Corporation under the Plan shall be met by a payment in cash in such amount
as is reasonably determined by the Committee to be fair and equitable in the
circumstances.

SECTION 20. UNFUNDED PLAN

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Plan shall be unfunded until
payment of the Share Units under Section 8 hereof.

SECTION 21. GOVERNING LAW

The Plan shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws in
force in the Province of Quebec.<PAGE>

(1)  The 2002 Long-term Incentive Plan applied to the named executive officers
     and consisted of two financial components, Revenues and EBITDA, and
     contribution to maximize BCE's investment in Telesat in respect of BCE's
     intent to sell a portion of its ownership in Telesat. Each of the financial
     targets was assigned a 30% weighting factor, for a total of 60%, and the
     sale related target was assigned a 40% factor. Prior to 2002, Executive
     Officers participated in the BCE Long Term Incentive Plan under which they
     received BCE stock options.

     Based on market data obtained from compensation consultants, the LTIP
     Target Award for the President and Chief Executive Officer was established
     at 155% of base salary; for the other eligible Named Executive Officers,
     the Target Award was established at 60% of base salary. Such target awards
     place target total compensation at the midpoint of what is provided for
     similar positions by a comparator group of companies used by Telesat and
     which is identical to the one used by BCE Inc.

(2)  The Threshold generally represents the minimum award payable under the plan
     if all three components meet the minimum level. Generally, under the plan,
     an award would be payable if one or any combination of the three components
     is met at the 95% level or greater. The three components for 2002 are
     Revenues (30%), EBITDA (30%) and Sale of a portion of BCE's stake (40%)
     When the 95% mark is achieved for each one of the financial components, the
     plan provides an award equal to 90% of the target award weighted for that
     component. The threshold awards shown above represent what would be awarded
     if all three components were met at 95%. The actual award could be less
     than the amounts shown above if, for example, the company meets 95% of one
     financial component and misses the other financial component or the Sale
     component.

(3)  The Target represents the award payable under the plan if the target (100%)
     for each one of the three financial components, i.e. Revenues (30%), EBITDA
     (30%) and Sale of a portion of BCE's stake (40%) are met, each

<PAGE>

     component working independently. When the 100% mark is achieved for each
     one of the financial components, the plan provides an award equal to 100%
     of the target award weighted for that component. The target awards shown
     above represent what would be awarded if all three financial components are
     met at 100%.

(4)  The Maximum represents the maximum award payable under the plan. Under the
     plan, the maximum award is paid when 120% of the target (100%) for each one
     of the three financial components, i.e. Revenues (30%), EBITDA (30%) and
     Sale of a portion of BCE's stake (40%) are met, each component working
     independently. When the 120% mark is achieved for each one of the financial
     components, the plan provides an award equal to 200% of the target award
     weighted for that component. The maximum awards shown above represent what
     would be awarded if all three financial components are met at 120%, which
     would be exceptional.

(5)  Overall, the actual award earned under the plan represents 50% of the
     target. This was achieved with Revenues slightly above threshold and to
     recognize the level of effort demonstrated in connection with the proposed
     Sale of a portion of BCE's stake in Telesat. The EBITDA results were
     slightly under threshold and did not contribute to the award. Under the
     plan, the executive must be on payroll on payment dates to receive the
     award. The portion attributable to Revenues and EBITDA is payable in three
     equal annual installments in 2003, 2004 and 2005. The portion of the award
     attributable to the proposed sale of a portion of BCE's stake in Telesat is
     payable to the President and Chief Executive Officer in three equal
     installments in 2003, 2004 and 2005, whereas it was paid in full in 2003
     for named executive officers reporting to the President and Chief Executive
     Officer.
