             year during the Term by paying 1/24 thereof on the 15th of each

TERMINATION OF ENGAGEMENT

6.      The following will govern termination under this Agreement:

        (a)  Jeannes may deliver to Glamis a notice to terminate the Engagement
             on a day not less than 60 days after the day of such delivery and
             the Engagement will terminate at the expiration of such 60-day or
             longer period and in such case any outstanding share purchase
             options held at such time by Jeannes will expire on the 30th day
             after the effective date of the termination;

        (b)  Glamis may terminate the Engagement without notice and without any
             payment in lieu of notice if

             (i)   Jeannes is guilty of any wilful act, neglect, or conduct that
                   causes substantial damage or discredit to Glamis, or

             (ii)  Jeannes is convicted of any offence involving fraud, and in
                   such case any outstanding share purchase options held at such
                   time by Jeannes will expire on the 30th day after the
                   effective date of the termination;

        (c)  Except for those matters referred to in subsection 6(b), Glamis
             may, at its sole option, terminate the Engagement for cause by
             providing three months written notice to Jeannes and in such case
             any outstanding share purchase options held at such time by Jeannes
             will expire on the 30th day after the effective date of the
             termination;

        (d)  Glamis may, at its sole option, terminate the Engagement without
             cause by notice (the "Termination Notice") to Jeannes, in which
             case Jeannes will be paid any remuneration due hereunder to the
             date of termination together with an aggregate amount equal to 2
             times the Salary which is in force at the time of delivery of the
             Termination Notice and the cash value of 24 months of full benefit
             coverage under subsection 5(c), less applicable withholding and
             other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (United States) and
             any other applicable United States legislation in respect of
             remuneration paid to employees and in such case any outstanding
             share purchase options held at such time by Jeannes, will expire on
             the 365th day after the effective date of the termination;

        (e)  If Jeannes becomes permanently disabled prior to termination of the
             Engagement hereunder the provisions of subsection 6(c) will not
             apply, however, Glamis may terminate the Engagement pursuant to
             subsection 6(d), provided however that such termination will not
             affect any benefits which Jeannes would be entitled to as a
             disabled employee under the plans described in subsection 5(c).
             Jeannes will be deemed to be permanently disabled if he is unable
             to perform the material and substantial portion of the Duties
             because of sickness or injury. For the purposes hereof "sickness"
             means an organic disease, including without limitation mental
             illness, and the medical or surgical treatment of the disease and
             "injury" means bodily injury caused directly by external, violent
             and purely accidental means;

        (f)  In the event that Glamis relocates its corporate offices from
             Washoe County, Nevada or otherwise requires as a condition of
             continued employment that Jeannes relocate from Washoe County,
             Nevada, Jeannes shall have the option of terminating the Engagement
             and in that event shall receive the remuneration provided in
             subsection 6(d);




<PAGE>   4
                                      -54-



        (g)  On termination of the Engagement, Jeannes will deliver to Glamis in
             a reasonable state of repair all property of Glamis used by or in
             the possession of Jeannes; and

        (h)  Termination of the Engagement will not terminate Glamis' obligation
             under subsection 5(d), which obligation will survive such
             termination.

DISCLOSURE

7.      Jeannes undertakes to refrain, both during the Term and thereafter,
except so far as may be necessary or proper in performing the Duties, from
making public or disclosing to any person who is not an employee, officer or
director of Glamis or one of its subsidiaries, any information that may come to
the knowledge of Jeannes during the Term respecting the business dealings of
Glamis or its subsidiaries or any of the contractual agreements of Glamis or its
subsidiaries and Jeannes will, at the request of Glamis, enter into a separate
agreement with respect to such matters.
