          Reference is made to the letter agreements dated February 15, 2000 between BCE Inc.

(the "Company") owned by them.

          The parties have agreed to make certain changes to the manner in which the acquisition (the "Revised Acquisition") of the common shares of Teleglobe not already owned by BCE or its affiliates (the "Common Shares") will be completed.

          The Company has also agreed to similar changes and has entered into an agreement with BCE to reflect such changes pursuant to the amendment (the "Amending Support Letter ") dated June 18, 2000 to support agreement dated February 15, 2000. A copy of the agreement which BCE has entered into with the Company has been provided to Kenny A. Troutt on behalf of the Troutt Group and to Charles Sirois on behalf of the Sirois Group. Terms defined in the Amending Support Letter which appear herein without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Amending Support Letter.

          BCE, the Troutt Group and the Sirois Group acknowledge and agree that the form of the Revised Acquisition, the timing of the Revised Acquisition and related matters and the consideration under the Revised Acquisition shall be set forth in and governed by the Amending Support Letter and that the provisions of the Lock-Up Agreements shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Revised Acquisition. Additionally, each Lock-Up Agreement is hereby amended as follows: (a) the phrase "or to take-up and pay for any Common Shares tendered under the Offer" contained in clause (y) of subsection 1(d) thereof is hereby deleted; (b) section 3 thereof is hereby deleted in its entirely; and (c) the second clause (i) of subsection 4(b) thereof beginning "it will use its reasonable best efforts" is hereby deleted in its entirety.

          BCE and the Sellers acknowledge that time is of the essence of the Support Agreement and that BCE has completed its due diligence with respect to the Company to BCE's satisfaction and BCE agrees that it will use its best efforts to realize the Alternative Plan of Arrangement in accordance with the provisions of the Support Agreement an din accordance with the timetable annexed as Schedule 2 thereto.

          Except as amended by this agreement, the provisions of the Lock-Up Agreements shall continue in full force and effect. In the event of any inconsistency between this agreement and the provisions of the Lock-Up Agreements, the provisions of this agreement shall prevail.

          This agreement may be executed by facsimile and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          The parties hereto have expressly requested that this agreement be drafted in the English language. Les parties á la présente ont expressément demandé que cette entente soit rédigée dans la langue anglaise.

          If the foregoing accurately reflects the terms and conditions of our agreement, would you kindly indicate your acceptance hereof by signing, dating and returning to BCE the enclosed duplicate original of this agreement by facsimile or otherwise.
