 DIRECTOR AND PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT 
 This
Director and Principal Shareholder Non-Competition Agreement (“Non-Competition Agreement”), dated as of March 27, 2013, is made by and among North Cascades National Bank (“North Cascades Bank”), North
Cascades Bancshares, Inc. (the “Holding Company”), Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (“GBCI”), and the undersigned, each of whom is a director of North Cascades Bank or the Holding Company (“Director”) and/or a

RECITALS 
  

	A.	The Holding Company and North Cascades Bank have entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof, with
GBCI. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Holding Company will merge with and into GBCI, and North Cascades Bank will be merged with and into GBCI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Glacier Bank (the “Merger”).


  

	B.	The parties to this Non-Competition Agreement believe that the future success and profitability of GBCI and North Cascades Bank, as a division of Glacier Bank,
following the Merger require that the Directors and Shareholders (collectively, the “Signatories”) not be affiliated in any substantial way with a Competing Business (as defined herein) for a reasonable period of time after the
closing of the Merger and/or, in the case of a Director, termination of such Director’s status as a director of North Cascades Bank, a division of Glacier Bank (the “Division”). 


AGREEMENT 
 In consideration of the parties’ performance under the Merger Agreement, the Signatories agree as follows:

following definitions also apply to this Non-Competition Agreement: 

  

	 	a.	Competing Business. “Competing Business” means any financial institution or trust company (including without limitation, any start-up or other
financial institution or trust company in formation) or holding company thereof that competes or will compete within the Covered Area with GBCI or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates. 









	 	b.	Covered Area. “Covered Area” means the Chelan County, Douglas County, Grant Count and Okanogan County, Washington, or any other county in the
State of Washington into which GBCI expands during the term of this Agreement. 

  

	 	c.	Term. “Term” means the period of time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the later of (i) two (2) years after the Effective
Date or (ii) two (2) years following termination of such Director’s service on the Board of Directors of the Division. 

  

	2.	Participation in Competing Business. Except as provided in Section 5 or 6, during the Term, no Signatory may become involved with a Competing
Business or serve, directly or indirectly, a Competing Business in any manner, including without limitation, (a) as a shareholder, member, partner, director, officer, manager, investor, organizer, founder, employee, consultant, agent, or
representative, or (b) during the organization and pre-opening phases in the formation of a Competing Business. 

  

	3.	No Solicitation. During the Term, no Signatory may, directly or indirectly, solicit or attempt to solicit (a) any employees of GBCI’s

Business. Solicitation prohibited under this section includes solicitation by any means, including, without limitation, meetings, letters or other mailings, electronic communications of any kind, and internet communications.


  

	4.	Confidential Information. During and after the Term, the Signatories will not disclose any confidential information of the Holding Company, North Cascades
Bank, GBCI or GBCI’s subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates obtained by such person except in accordance with a judicial or other governmental order. 

  

	5.	Outside Covered Area. Nothing in this Non-Competition Agreement prevents a Signatory from becoming involved with, as a shareholder, member, partner,
director, officer, manager, investor, organizer, founder, employee, consultant, agent, representative, or otherwise, with a financial institution that has no operations in the Covered Area. 


 

	6.	Passive Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Non-Competition Agreement will prevent a Signatory from
owning 5% or less of any class of security of a Competing Business. 

  

	7.	Remedies. Any breach of this Non-Competition Agreement by a Signatory will entitle Glacier Bank, the Division and GBCI, together with their successors and
