<PAGE>

                  As of the close of each Plan Year, the Company will credit to
      the Executive's Account an amount equal to the difference between -

      (i)   the employer contributions that would have been allocated to the
            Executive's accounts under the Tax-qualified Plans if not for either
            the limitations imposed by Section 401 of the Code or the
            Executive's participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan, and

      (ii)  the Annual Additions actually credited to the Executive under the
            Tax-qualified Plans.

                  For each Plan Year ending before 2005, the amount credited to
      the Executive's Account shall appreciate or depreciate in accordance with
      the investment measure selected by the Executive in an Election Form,
      executed in a Plan Year ending before 2005.

                  As of the end of each Plan Year ending after 2004, the
      Executive's Account shall be credited with a rate of return (which may be
      positive or negative) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the
      return-on-average-equity of common stock issued by Glacier Bancorp, Inc.,
      as of December 31 of the Company's most recently-completed fiscal year.

                  The Executive's Account balance shall be paid to the Executive
      in five substantially equal annual installments, with the first
      installment due on the first day of the second month after he leaves
      employment, unless during 2005 and before the Executive leaves employment
      with the Company for any reason, the Executive has elected an alternative
      form for distribution pursuant to an Election Form executed and accepted
      by the Company, in which case the Executive shall be paid in cash or in
      the form of a check as follows:

      1.    in a lump sum; or

      2.    in substantially equal annual payments over a period of ___years
            (not to exceed 10 years from the date the Executive ceases service
            with the Company).

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but only to the extent required
      under federal banking law, the amount payable hereunder shall be reduced
      to the extent that on the date of the Executive's termination of
      employment such reduction is necessary to avoid subjecting the Company to
      liability under Section 280G of the Code. In addition, any payments made
      to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to
      and conditioned upon their compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and

                                 DEATH BENEFITS

                  Unless otherwise elected by the Executive in an Election Form
      filed in 2005 and before the Executive terminates employment with the
      Company for any reason, in the event that the Executive dies before
      receiving all benefit payments provided under Article II hereof, the
      Company shall pay to the Executive's Beneficiary a lump sum payment,
      within 60 days following the Executive's death, in an amount equal to the
      balance of the Executive's Account.

                                   ARTICLE IV

<PAGE>

                               SOURCE OF BENEFITS

                  The primary source of Benefits shall be the general assets of
      the Company. However, the Company may establish and fund an irrevocable
      trust (subject to Article VIII and having terms consistent therewith),
      whereby assets of the Company will be held by such trust pursuant to such
      Trust Agreement, subject to claims by general creditors of the Company by
      appropriate judicial action as provided by such Trust. Any insurance
      policy or any other asset acquired or held by the Company in connection
      with the liabilities assumed by it hereunder, shall not be deemed to be
      held under any trust for the benefit of the Executive or his surviving of
      the Company, but shall be, and remain, a general, unpledged, unrestricted
      asset of the Company. Neither Executive nor his Beneficiary shall be named
      as owner of any insurance policy, if any, held in connection with the
      liabilities hereunder.

                  The trustee of the trust established hereunder shall inform
      the Board annually prior to the commencement of each fiscal year as to the
      manner in which trust assets shall be invested. In the event that funds
      from the trust are at any time insufficient to pay Benefits, the
      obligation to pay Benefits shall constitute an unfunded, unsecured promise
      by the Company to provide such payments as and to the extent such Benefits
      become payable. In such case, Benefits shall be paid from the general
      assets of the Company, and no person shall, by virtue of this Agreement,
      have any interest in such assets (other than as an unsecured creditor of
      the Company).

                                    ARTICLE V
                                   ASSIGNMENT

                  Except as otherwise is provided by this Agreement, it is
      agreed that neither the Executive nor any Beneficiary of the Executive
      shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, encumber and
      pledge or otherwise convey the right to receive any Benefits hereunder,
      which Benefits and the rights thereto are expressly declared to be
      nonassignable and nontransferable.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                            NO RETENTION OF SERVICES

      The Benefits payable under this Agreement shall be independent of, and in
addition to, any other employment agreement that may exist from time to time
between the parties hereto, or any other compensation payable by the Company to
the Executive, whether salary, bonus, retirement income under employee benefit
plans sponsored or maintained by the Company, or otherwise. This Agreement shall
not restrict the right of the Company to terminate the Executive's employment,
or restrict the right of the Executive to terminate employment.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                        UNSECURED RIGHTS OF THE EXECUTIVE

      The rights of the Executive and of his Beneficiary under this Agreement
shall be solely those of an

<PAGE>

unsecured creditor of the Company.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                               CHANGE IN CONTROL;
                          OR TERMINATION FOR JUST CAUSE

      The provisions of this Article shall supersede any provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary. At any time before but not more than five business
days after a Change in Control, the Company shall contribute to Trust associated
with the Agreement (the "Trust") an amount equivalent to the aggregate amount
payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, which amount would then be
used to assist the Company in making eventual payment to the Executive under the
terms and conditions of the Agreement. The Trust and any assets held therein to
assist the Company in meeting its obligations under the Agreement will conform
to the provisions of the model trust, as described in Revenue Procedure 92-64
(or any successor thereto). It is the intention of the parties that the
Agreement be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Subsequent to the
Change in Control, the Company shall continue to be obligated to provide for
Benefits pursuant to Article II hereof, which additional Benefits shall be
payable pursuant to Articles II and III hereof.

      In the event of the Executive's termination of employment for Just Cause,
no Benefits shall be payable hereunder, and the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder, unless and to the extent that the Company determines, in
its sole and absolute discretion, to the contrary.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                 REORGANIZATION

      The Company agrees that it will not merge or consolidate with any other
corporation organization, or permit its business activities to be taken over by
any other organization, unless and until the succeeding or continuing
corporation or other organization shall expressly assume the rights and
obligations of the Company herein set forth. The Company further agrees that it
will not cease its business activities or terminate its existence, other than as
heretofore set forth in this paragraph, without having made adequate provision
for the fulfillment of its obligation hereunder.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                   AMENDMENTS

This Agreement may be revoked or be amended in whole or in part only by a
writing signed by all of the parties hereto.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                    STATE LAW

This Agreement shall be construed and governed in all respects under and by the
laws of the State of Montana, except to the extent preempted by federal law. If
any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof
shall

continue to be fully effective.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                                    HEADINGS

reference only and constitute no part of this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                  COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in an original and any number of counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original of one and the same instrument.

                           ARTICLE XIV EFFECTIVE DATE

This Agreement shall become effective on the date identified in the Preamble
hereto, subject to such changes as the Company's Board of Directors may in its
discretion deem to be necessary or proper. Unless terminated earlier in
accordance with Article XVII, this Agreement shall remain in effect during the
term of employment of the Executive and until all benefits payable hereunder
have been made.

                                   ARTICLE XV
                         INTERPRETATION OF THE AGREEMENT

The Board of Directors of the Company shall have sole and absolute discretion to
administer, construe, and interpret the Agreement, and the decisions of the
Board shall be conclusive and binding on all affected parties (unless such
decisions are arbitrary and capricious).

                                   ARTICLE XVI
                             ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES

In the event that any dispute arises between the Executive and the Company as to
the terms or interpretation of this Agreement, said dispute shall be referred to
the American Arbitration Company, and the parties expressly consent to submit
said dispute to be so arbitrated. The decision of the American Arbitration
Company shall be final and binding on all the parties, and there shall be no
appeal therefrom.

                                  ARTICLE XVII
                            TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

The Company and the Executive (or his Beneficiary, if the Executive is deceased)
may terminate this Agreement at any time in a writing executed by the parties.

from time to time, prospectively change the beneficiary designation and the
manner of payment to a Beneficiary. Such elections shall, however, become
irrevocable upon my death.

<PAGE>

      6. Mutual Commitments. The Company agrees to make payment of all amounts
due to me in accordance with the terms of the and the elections I make herein. I
agree to be bound by the terms of the Agreement, as in effect on the date
therein or properly amended hereafter.

      7. Tax Responsibility. I recognize and agree that notwithstanding my
elections above, the Board shall have the discretion to administer any
distribution pursuant to this Election, and to unilaterally modify any such
Election, in a manner that the Board reasonably determines to be necessary in
order to conform my distribution election with the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code. I recognize

and agree, however, that I am solely responsible for the satisfaction of any
federal, state, or local taxes of any kind that may arise under the Agreement,
(including any taxes arising under Sections 409A or 4999 of the Code), and that
neither the Company nor any of its employees, officers, directors, or service
providers has any right or obligation to provide me with tax planning advice, or
to structure the terms of the Agreement or any payments to me in a manner that
mitigates my tax liability. It being understood that I should seek and rely on
personal, professional tax advice with respect to the Agreement and its tax
consequences to me, I agree to hold each and every one of them harmless against
all loss of any kind (including attorneys fees they incur) with respect to any
claim that I make with respect to the Agreement, my elections herein, and my
collection of benefits pursuant to the Agreement.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto set their hands the
day and year first above-written.

      (c)   Report to Board. Executive will report directly to the Bank's board
            of directors and to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The

      in accordance with the Bank's regular payroll schedule.

6.    INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. During the Term, the Bank's board of directors,
      subject to ratification by Company's board of directors, will determine
      the amount of bonus to be paid by the Bank to Executive for that year. In
      making this determination, the Bank's board of directors will consider
      factors such as Executive's performance of his duties and the safety,
      soundness and profitability of the Bank. Executive's bonus will reflect
      Executive's contribution to the performance of the Bank during the year.
      This bonus will be paid to Executive no later than January 31 of the year
      following the year in which the bonus is earned by Executive.

7.    INCOME DEFERRAL. Executive will be eligible to participate in any program
      available to the Bank's and Company's senior management for income
      deferral, for the purpose of deferring receipt of any or all of the

8.    VACATION AND BENEFITS.

      (a)   Vacation and Holidays. Executive will receive four weeks of paid
            vacation each year in addition to all holidays observed by the Bank.
            Executive may carry over, in the aggregate, up to four weeks of
            unused vacation to a subsequent year. Any unused vacation time in
            excess of four weeks will not accumulate or carry over from one
            calendar year to the next. Each calendar year Executive shall take
            not less than one (1) week vacation.

      (b)   Benefits. Executive will be entitled to participate in any group
            life insurance, disability, health and accident insurance plans,
            profit sharing and pension plans and in other employee fringe
            benefit programs the Bank or Company may have in effect from time to
            time for its similarly situated employees, in accordance with and
            subject to any policies adopted by the Bank's board of directors
            with respect to the plans or programs, including without limitation,
            any incentive or employee stock option plan, deferred compensation
            plan, 401(k) plan, and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
            (SERP). Neither the Bank nor Company, through this Agreement,
            obligate itself to make any particular benefits available to its
            employees.

      (c)   Business Expenses. The Bank will reimburse Executive for ordinary
            and necessary expenses which are consistent with past practice at
            the Bank (including, without limitation, travel, entertainment, and
            similar expenses) and which are incurred in performing and promoting
            the Bank's business. Executive will present from time to time
            itemized accounts of these expenses, subject to any limits of the
            Bank policy or the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue
            Service.

9.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

      (a)   Termination by the Bank for Cause. If the Bank terminates
            Executive's employment for Cause (defined below) before this
            Agreement terminates, the Bank will pay Executive the salary earned
            and expenses reimbursable under this Agreement incurred through the
            date of his termination. Executive will have no right to receive
            compensation or other benefits for any period after termination
            under this Section 9(a).

      (b)   Other Termination by the Bank. If the Bank terminates Executive's
            employment without Cause before this Agreement terminates, or
            Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason (defined below),
            the Bank will pay Executive for the remainder of the Term the
            compensation and other benefits he would have been entitled to if
            his employment had not terminated.

      (c)   Death or Disability. This Agreement terminates (1) if Executive dies
            or (2) if Executive is unable to perform his duties and obligations
            under this Agreement for a period of 90 consecutive days as a result
            of a physical or mental disability arising at any time during the
            term of this Agreement, unless with reasonable accommodation
            Executive could continue to perform his duties under this Agreement
            and making these accommodations would not pose an undue hardship on
            the Bank. If termination occurs

<PAGE>

            under this Section 9(c), Executive or his estate will be entitled to
            receive all compensation and benefits earned and expenses
            reimbursable through the date Executive's employment terminated.

      (d)   Termination Related to a Change in Control.

            (1)   Termination by Bank. If the Bank, or its successor in interest
                  by merger, or its transferee in the event of a purchase in an
                  assumption transaction (for reasons other than Executive's
                  death, disability, or Cause) (1) terminates Executive's
                  employment within one year following a Change in Control (as
                  defined below), or (2) terminates Executive's employment
                  before the Change in Control but on or after the date that any
                  party either announces or is required by law to announce any
                  prospective Change in Control transaction and a Change in
                  Control occurs within six months after the termination, the
                  Bank will provide Executive with the payment and benefits
                  described in Section 9(d)(3) below.

            (2)   Termination by Executive. If Executive terminates Executive's
                  employment, with or without Good Reason, within one year
                  following a Change in Control, the Bank will provide Executive
                  with the payment and benefits described in Section 9(d)(3).

            (3)   Payments. If Section 9(d)(1) or (2) is triggered in accordance
                  with its terms, the Bank will: (i) pay Executive in 12 monthly
                  installments in an amount equal to the Executive's annual
                  salary (determined as of the day before the date Executive's
                  employment was terminated) and (ii) maintain and provide for
                  one year following Executive's termination, at no cost to
                  Executive, the benefits described in Section 8(b) to which
                  Executive is entitled (determined as of the day before the
                  date of such termination); but if Executive's participation in
                  any such benefit is thereafter barred or not feasible, or
                  discontinued or materially reduced, the Bank will arrange to
                  provide Executive with either benefits substantially similar
                  to those benefits or a cash payment of substantially similar
                  value in lieu of the benefits.

      (e)   Limitations on Payments Related to Change in Control. The following
            apply notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

            (1)   the total of the payments and benefits described in Section
                  9(d)(3) will be less than the amount that would cause them to
                  be a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section
                  280G(b)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code;

            (2)   the payment and benefits described in Section 9(d)(3) will be
                  reduced by any compensation (in the form of cash or other
                  benefits) received by Executive from the Bank or its successor
                  after the Change in Control; and

            (3)   Executive's right to receive the payments and benefits
                  described in Section 9(d)(3) terminates (i) immediately if
                  before the Change in Control transaction closes, Executive
                  terminates his employment without Good Reason, or the Bank
                  terminates Executive's employment for Cause, or (ii) one year
                  after a Change of Control occurs.

      (f)   Return of Bank Property. If and when Executive ceases, for any
            reason, to be employed by the Bank, Executive must return to the
            Bank all keys, pass cards, identification cards and any other
            property of the Bank. At the same time, Executive also must return
            to the Bank all originals and copies (whether in memoranda, designs,
            devices, diskettes, tapes, manuals, and specifications) which
            constitute proprietary information or material of the Bank. The
            obligations in this paragraph include the return of documents and
            other materials which may be in his desk at work, in his car, in
            place of residence, or in any other location under his control.

      (g)   Cause. "Cause" means any one or more of the following:

            (1)   Willful misfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of
                  Executive's duties;

<PAGE>

            (2)   Conviction of a crime in connection with his duties;

            (3)   Conduct demonstrably and significantly harmful to the Bank, as
                  reasonably determined on the advice of legal counsel by the
                  Bank's board of directors; or

            (4)   Permanent disability, meaning a physical or mental impairment
                  which renders Executive incapable of substantially performing
                  the duties required under this Agreement, and which is
                  expected to continue rendering Executive so incapable for the
                  reasonably foreseeable future.

      (h)   Good Reason. "Good Reason" means only any one or more of the
            following:

            (1)   Reduction of Executive's salary or reduction or elimination of
                  any compensation or benefit plan benefiting Executive, unless
                  the reduction or elimination is generally applicable to other
                  executive officers within the Company (or executive officers
                  of a successor or controlling entity of the Bank) formerly
                  benefitted;

            (2)   The assignment to Executive without his consent of any
                  authority or duties materially inconsistent with Executive's
                  position as of the date of this Agreement;

            (3)   The material breach of this Agreement by the Bank, or

            (4)   A relocation or transfer of Executive's principal place of
                  employment outside Kootenai County, Idaho.

      (i)   Change in Control. "Change in Control" means a change "in the
            ownership or effective control" or "in the ownership of a
            substantial portion of the assets" of the Bank, within the meaning
            of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

10.   CONFIDENTIALITY. Executive will not, after the date this Agreement was
      signed, including during and after its Term, use for his own purposes or
      disclose to any other person or entity any confidential business
      information concerning the Bank or its business operations, unless (1) the
      Bank consents to the use or disclosure of confidential information; (2)
      the use or disclosure is consistent with Executive's duties under this
      Agreement, or (3) disclosure is required by law or court order. For
      purposes of this Agreement, confidential business information includes,
      without limitation, trade secrets (as defined under the Montana Uniform
      Trade Secrets Act, Montana CodeSection 30-14-402), various confidential
      information on investment management practices, marketing plans, pricing
      structure and technology of either the Bank or Company. Executive will
      also treat the terms of this Agreement as confidential business
      information.

11.   NONCOMPETITION. During the Term and the terms of any extensions or
      renewals of this Agreement and for a period equal to one year after
      Executive's employment with the Bank and Company has terminated, Executive
      will not, directly or indirectly, as a shareholder, director, officer,
      employee, partner, agent, consultant, lessor, creditor or otherwise:

      (a)   provide management, supervisory or other similar services to any
            person or entity engaged in any business in counties in which the
            Bank or Company may have a presence which is competitive with the
            business of the Bank or Company or a subsidiary as conducted during
            the term of this Agreement or as conducted as of the date of
            termination of employment, including any preliminary steps
            associated with the formation of a new bank.

      (b)   persuade or entice, or attempt to persuade or entice any employee of
            the Bank or Company or a subsidiary to terminate his/her employment
            with the Bank or a subsidiary.

      (c)   persuade or entice or attempt to persuade or entice any person or
            entity to terminate, cancel, rescind or revoke its business or
            contractual relationships with the Bank or Company.

<PAGE>

12.   ENFORCEMENT.

      (a)   The Bank and Executive stipulate that, in light of all of the facts
            and circumstances of the relationship between Executive and the
            Bank, the agreements referred to in Sections 10 and 11 (including
            without limitation their scope, duration and geographic extent) are
            fair and reasonably necessary for the protection of the Bank's and
            Company's confidential information, goodwill and other protectable
            interests. If a court of competent jurisdiction should decline to
            enforce any of those covenants and agreements, Executive and the
            Bank request the court to reform these provisions to restrict
            Executive's use of confidential information and Executive's ability
            to compete with the Bank and Company to the maximum extent, in time,
            scope of activities and geography, the court finds enforceable.

      (b)   Executive acknowledges the Bank and Company will suffer immediate
            and irreparable harm that will not be compensable by damages alone
            if Executive repudiates or breaches any of the provisions of
            Sections 10 or 11 or threatens or attempts to do so. For this
            reason, under these circumstances, the Bank, in addition to and
            without limitation of any other rights, remedies or damages
            available to it at law or in equity, will be entitled to obtain
            temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctions in order to prevent
            or restrain the breach, and the Bank will not be required to post a
            bond as a condition for the granting of this relief.

13.   COVENANTS. Executive specifically acknowledges the receipt of adequate
      consideration for the covenants contained in Sections 10 or 11 and that
      the Bank is entitled to require him to comply with these Sections. These
      Sections will survive termination of this Agreement. Executive represents
      that if his employment is terminated, whether voluntarily or
      involuntarily, Executive has experience and capabilities sufficient to
      enable Executive to obtain employment in areas which do not violate this
      Agreement and that the Bank's enforcement of a remedy by way of injunction
      will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood.

14.   ARBITRATION.

      (a)   Arbitration. At either party's request, the parties must submit any
            dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with,
            or relating to, this Agreement or any breach or alleged breach of
            this Agreement, to arbitration under the American Arbitration
            Association's rules then in effect (or under any other form of
            arbitration mutually acceptable to the parties). A single arbitrator
            agreed on by the parties will conduct the arbitration. If the
            parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, each party must select
            one arbitrator and those two arbitrators will select a third
            arbitrator. This third arbitrator will hear the dispute. The
            arbitrator's decision is final (except as otherwise specifically
            provided by law) and binds the parties, and either party may request
            any court having jurisdiction to enter a judgment and to enforce the
            arbitrator's decision. The arbitrator will provide the parties with
            a written decision naming the substantially prevailing party in the
            action. This prevailing party is entitled to reimbursement from the
            other party for its costs and expenses, including reasonable
            attorneys' fees.

      (b)   Governing Law. All proceedings will be held at a place designated by
            the arbitrator in Flathead County, Montana. The arbitrator, in
            rendering a decision as to any state law claims, will apply Montana
            law.

      (c)   Exception to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the above, if Executive
            violates Section 10 or 11, the Bank will have the right to initiate
            the court proceedings described in Section 12(b), in lieu of an
            arbitration proceeding under this Section 14.

15.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

      (a)   Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
            understanding and agreement between the parties concerning its
            subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, correspondence,
            representations, or understandings between the parties relating to
            its subject matter.

      (b)   Binding Effect. This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of
            the Bank's and Executive's heirs,

            legal representatives, successors and assigns.

      (c)   Litigation Expenses. If either party successfully seeks to enforce
            any provision of this Agreement or to collect any amount claimed to
            be due under it, this party will be entitled to reimbursement from
            the other party for any and all of its out-of-pocket expenses and
            costs including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
            costs incurred in connection with the enforcement or collection.

      (d)   Waiver. Any waiver by a party of its rights under this Agreement
            must be written and signed by the party waiving its rights. A
            party's waiver of the other party's breach of any provision of this
            Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any other breach by the
            breaching party.

      (e)   Assignment. The services to be rendered by Executive under this
            Agreement are unique and personal. Accordingly, Executive may not
            assign any of his rights or duties under this Agreement.

      (f)   Amendment. This Agreement may be modified only through a written
            instrument signed by both parties and ratified by the Company.

      (g)   Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. The
            invalidity of any provision will not affect the validity of other
            provisions of this Agreement.

      (h)   Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be governed by and
            construed in accordance with Montana law, except to the extent that
            certain regulatory matters may be governed by federal law. The
            parties must bring any legal proceeding arising out of this
            Agreement in Flathead County, Montana.

      (i)   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
            counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but
            all of which taken together will constitute one and the same
            instrument.

      Signed this 21st day of January, 2005.
