                              GLACIER BANCORP, INC.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                           DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
                        (EFFECTIVE AS OF JANUARY 1, 2008)

     Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Montana corporation, hereby amends
and restates its Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), effective as of
January 1, 2008. The Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is
unfunded and is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees
and non-employee directors of the Company and its Affiliates. The term
"Affiliate," as used in this Plan, shall mean an entity that is treated as a
single employer with the Company under Sections 414(b) or 414(c) of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code").

     ARTICLE I - ELIGIBILITY TO PARTICIPATE

     Participation in the Plan is limited to members of the Board of Directors
("Board") of the Company (including the Chairman) and its Affiliates, the
Company's President, and such other officers or key employees of the Company or
its Affiliates as the Board may identify by resolution from time to time as
being eligible to participate in the Plan.

     ARTICLE II - ELECTION TO DEFER

     a. ELECTION TO DEFERRAL. An individual who is eligible to participate in
the Plan may elect to defer compensation hereunder, and become a participant in
the Plan ("Participant"), by delivering to the Company a "Deferral Election
Form" (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) and a "Payment
Election Form" (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B).

     b. TIME OF DEFERRAL ELECTION. An election to defer compensation, made in
the manner described in paragraph a. of this Article II, shall be effective to
defer compensation earned for services performed in the first calendar year
after the calendar year in which the election is made and in all future years,
until revoked as provided in the Plan. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding
sentence, in the case of the first calendar year in which an individual becomes
eligible to participate in the Plan, as described in Treas. Reg. Section
1.409A-2(a)(7), if the individual makes an election to defer compensation within
thirty (30) days after the date he becomes eligible to participate in the Plan,
then the election to defer compensation shall be effective to defer compensation
earned for services to be performed in that year after the election.

     c. MAXIMUM ANNUAL DEFERRAL. A Participant may elect to defer under the Plan
(i) up to 100% of director's fees that he earns for services performed during a
calendar year as a director of the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) up to 50% of
the annual base salary payable in cash that he earns for services performed
during a calendar year as an employee of the Company or an

<PAGE>

Affiliate; and (iii) up to 100% of cash bonuses that he earns for services
performed during a calendar year as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate.

     d. REVOCATION OF DEFERRAL ELECTION. A Participant may revoke an election to
defer compensation under the Plan by delivering to the Company a new Deferral
Election Form indicating therein that he elects to discontinue deferral of
compensation under the Plan. The new Deferral Election Form shall only be
effective with respect to compensation earned for services performed in calendar
years after the calendar year in which the new form is delivered to the Company,
and the last valid deferral election shall remain in effect with respect to
compensation earned for services performed in the calendar year of such
delivery.

     e. CHANGE IN AMOUNT DEFERRED. A Participant may change the amount that he
elects to defer under the Plan by delivering to the Company a new Deferral
Election Form indicating therein that he elects to change the amount of
compensation that he defers under the Plan and showing the new amount that he
elects to defer. The new Deferral Election Form shall only be effective with
respect to compensation earned for services performed in calendar years after
the calendar year in which the new form is delivered to the Company, and the
last valid deferral election shall remain in effect with respect to compensation
earned for services performed in the calendar year of such delivery.

     f. NO DEFERRALS AFTER PAYMENTS BEGIN. A Participant may not defer hereunder
compensation, if any, earned for services performed after the occurrence of the
Payment Trigger Event elected by him.

     ARTICLE III - DEFERRED AMOUNTS

     Amounts deferred by a Participant pursuant to a Deferral Election Form
shall be credited, as of the date such amounts would otherwise be paid to the
Participant, to a bookkeeping account ("Account") maintained in the name of the
Participant on the books and records of the Company. If the Account of a
Participant has a credit balance as of December 31 of a calendar year, the
Company shall adjust the Account as of the end of such calendar year, beginning
after 2004, to reflect a rate of return (either positive or negative) equal to
fifty percent (50%) of return on average equity of common stock issued by the
Company as of December 31 of such calendar year (which return on average equity
shall be determined by the Company using such rounding conventions as it
determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate). Such adjustment shall be
made by multiplying the fifty percent (50%) of return on average equity by the
average daily balance in the Account in the calendar year, and adding or
subtracting the resulting product from the credit balance. The balance of the
Account, as of any time, shall be the sum of amounts deferred by a Participant
and credited to his Account on or before such time, plus or minus adjustments to
such Account under the immediately preceding sentence on or before such time,
less any amounts paid or withdrawn from such Account under Article IV on or
before such time.

     ARTICLE IV - PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS

     a. PAYMENT TRIGGER EVENTS. Amounts credited to the Account of a Participant
shall be paid to him on, or beginning on, the first day of the first month
immediately following the

<PAGE>

month in which one of the following events ("Payment Trigger Event") occurs, as
elected by the Participant in a Payment Election Form:

          (i)  Separation from Service (defined below);

          (ii) Attainment of age sixty-five (65);

          (iii) Any of the first five (5) anniversary dates following his
               Separation from Service, as specified by Participant in his
               Payment Election Form; or

          (iv) Any of the first five (5) anniversary dates following his
               attainment of age sixty-five (65), as specified by Participant in
               his Payment Election Form.

     b. FORM OF PAYMENT - LUMP-SUM OR INSTALLMENT. Amounts credited to the
Account of a Participant shall be paid to him in either a single lump-sum or in
equal annual installments over a period of five (5) years, as elected by the
Participant in a Payment Election Form.

     c. SUBSEQUENT CHANGE IN TIME OR FORM OF PAYMENT. A Participant may not
change the Payment Trigger Event or the form of payment elected by him at the
time he first becomes a Participant. If a Participant revokes his election to
defer compensation, as permitted in the Plan, and subsequently makes an election
to continue deferring compensation hereunder, then the Payment Trigger Event and
form of payment previously elected by him shall govern all payments to him under
the Plan.

     d. REQUIRED DELAY IN PAYMENT FOR SPECIFIED EMPLOYEES. If Participant is a
specified employee, then notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Plan,
any amounts payable to the Participant under the Plan on account of a Separation
from Service that could cause the Participant to be subject to the gross income
inclusion, interest and additional tax provisions of Code Section 409A(a)(1)
shall not be paid until after the end of the sixth calendar month beginning
after such Separation from Service (the "409A Suspension Period"). Within
fourteen (14) calendar days after the end of the 409A Suspension Period, the
Company shall pay Participant a lump sum payment in cash equal to the sum of all
payments delayed because of the preceding sentence, together with interest
thereon for the 409 Suspension Period calculated on such basis as the Company
determines to be appropriate. Thereafter, Participant shall receive any
remaining payments under the Plan as if this paragraph d. of Article IV were a
not a part of the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, a "specified employee" means a
Participant who, as of the date of his Separation from Service, is a key
employee of Company or its Affiliates, provided any of their stock is publicly
traded on an established securities market or otherwise. A Participant is a "key
employee" if he meets the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii) or
(iii) (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding
Code Section 416(i)(5)) at any time during the twelve (12) month period ending
on a December 31. If the Participant is a key employee as of such a date, he is
treated as a key employee for purposes of this Plan for the entire twelve (12)
month period beginning on the April 1 that follows such December 31. The
foregoing provisions of this paragraph d. of Article IV are intended to comply
with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i) and shall be interpreted and administered
consistently therewith.

<PAGE>

     e. PAYMENTS ON DEATH OF PARTICIPANT. If Participant dies before he is paid
the entire balance of his Account, then the Company shall pay the unpaid balance
of the Account, within ninety (90) days following his death, in a single
lump-sum to the primary or contingent Designated Beneficiary, as elected by the
Participant. If a primary Designated Beneficiary does not survive Participant,
then the share otherwise payable to him shall be paid to the primary Designated
Beneficiary's estate; provided, however, that if the Participant has designated
a contingent Designated Beneficiary, then such share shall be paid to the
contingent Designated Beneficiary. If the contingent Designated Beneficiary does
not survive the Participant, then the share otherwise payable to him shall be
paid to the contingent Designated Beneficiary's estate. As used herein, the term
"Designated Beneficiary" means the person or persons designated by Participant
to receive Benefits in the event of Participant's death before all amounts
credited to his Account have been paid to him. Participant shall designate the
Designated Beneficiary by delivering to the Company a Payment Election Form that
names the Designated Beneficiary and may change the Designated Beneficiary from
time to time by delivering to the Company a Designated Beneficiary Change Form.
Any such change shall be effective immediately after the form is delivered to
the Company.

     f. "SEPARATION FROM SERVICE" DEFINED. For purposes of this Plan, the term
"Separation from Service" means that Participant has separated from service with
the Company and all Affiliates within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section
1.409A-1(h). Whether an entity is an "Affiliate" for purposes of this paragraph
(f) shall be determined by substituting the language "at least 50 percent" in
place of "at least 80 percent" each place that it appears in Code Section
1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) (to determine if a controlled group of corporations
exists under Code Section 414(b)) and in Treas. Reg. Section 1.414(c)-2 (to
determine trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under
common control under Code Section 414(c)).

     ARTICLE V - ANTI-ALIENATION; RIGHTS UNSECURED

     a. ANTI-ALIENATION. A Participant's interest in the Plan shall not be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance, or charge; and the Company shall not be obligated to make
any payments to persons other than as specifically provided in the Plan. All
payments required to be made under the Plan shall be made in the regular course
of business from the general funds of the Company as they become due, except
that such payments may be made from any trust that the Company may establish in
its discretion in accordance with the terms of Article VII below.

     b. STATUS AS UNSECURED CREDITOR. Neither the Participants, nor their
Designated Beneficiaries, nor any other person or persons having or claiming a
right to payments hereunder or an interest in the Plan shall have either a
secured claim against the assets of the Company or any other right, title,
interest, or claim in or to any specific asset, fund, reserve, account, or
property of any kind whatsoever owned by the Company or in which the Company may
have any right, title or interest now or in the future. Such persons are
unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to any claim for payments or
benefits under the Plan and nothing herein shall be construed to give them the
right to enforce such claim in any manner other than as an unsecured creditor.

<PAGE>

     ARTICLE VI - CHANGES TO ELECTIONS

     Except as provided in the Plan, elections made by a Participant with
respect to his Account are irrevocable.

     ARTICLE VII - CHANGE IN CONTROL

     At any time before, but not more than five (5) business days after, a
change in control, the Company may contribute to a trust assets in an amount
equal to the aggregate amount payable to Participants under the Plan, which
assets shall be used to assist the Company in making payment to Participants as
they come due under the terms and conditions of the Plan. The trust and any
assets held therein shall conform to the provisions of the model trust described
in Revenue Procedure 92-64 (or any successor thereto). It is the intention of
the parties that the Plan and the arrangements associated therewith (including
the trust) be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. For purposes of the
Plan, the term "change in control" shall mean the occurrence of (i) a merger or
consolidation in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving entity or
pursuant to which the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company are converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a
merger of the Company in which the holders of issued and outstanding shares of
the common stock of the Company immediately prior to the merger own more than
fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the surviving corporation
immediately after the merger, (ii) the acquisition of shares of the Company's
issued and outstanding common stock in a single or a series of related
transactions, if immediately thereafter persons who owned shares of such common
stock immediately before such acquisition do not own more than fifty percent
(50%) of the combined voting power of the Company immediately after such
acquisition, or (iii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company.

     ARTICLE VIII - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     a. BOARD TO MANAGE PLAN. The Board shall be responsible for managing,
operating and administrating the Plan, including making decisions pertaining to
granting or denying benefit claims. The Plan shall inure to the benefit of the
Participants and shall be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns.
The Board shall have discretion to amend, or terminate (in accordance with
Article X) the Plan at any time and from time to time, provided that no change
in the Plan that adversely affects a Participant or a Designated Beneficiary
collecting benefits shall be made without the written consent of such
Participant or a Designated Beneficiary. The Board shall have the right to
interpret the Plan in its sole and absolute discretion (including the
application of Code Section 409A thereto) and its interpretation thereof such be
final and binding on all persons.

     b. SEVERABILITY. In the event any provisions of the Plan are found to be
void, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Plan shall
nevertheless be binding with the same force and effect as though the void,
illegal or unenforceable provisions were not a part of the Plan.

<PAGE>

     c. COPY OF PLAN MAINTAINED BY SECRETARY. The Secretary of the Company shall
maintain a copy of the Plan and any amendments thereto.

     d. WITHHOLDING. All payments under the Plan shall be subject to reduction
by the Company for all amounts that the Company is required to withhold under
federal, state or local tax laws.

     e. RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES. Participants are solely responsible and liable
for the satisfaction of all taxes, interest and penalties that may arise in
connection with their participation in and receipt of payments under the Plan
(including those arising under Code Section 409A). The Company shall not have
any obligation to indemnify a Participant or otherwise hold him harmless from
any such taxes, interest or penalties.

     f. ELECTION FORMS. No election made by a Participant with respect to his
Account shall be valid or recognized by the Company unless the election is made
on a Deferral Election Form, Payment Election Form or Designated Beneficiary
Change Form that is properly completed, duly signed and dated by the
Participant, and delivered to the Company.

     g. USE OF CERTAIN TERMS. As required by the context, (i) words in the
masculine, feminine or neuter form shall include the other genders; and (ii)
words in the singular or plural shall include the other in number.

     ARTICLE IX - TERMINATION

     a. GENERAL. The Company may terminate the Plan at any time. Termination of
the Plan shall not accelerate the time that amounts credited to the Account of a
Participant are paid hereunder. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding
sentence, the Company may elect to liquidate the Plan after termination, and
accelerate the time that such amounts are paid, if all of the following
conditions are satisfied:

          (i)  The termination and liquidation of the Plan does not occur
               proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company or
               any of its Affiliates;

          (ii) The Company and its Affiliates terminate and liquidate all
               agreements, methods, programs and other arrangements sponsored by
               the Company and its Affiliates that would be aggregated with any
               terminated and liquidated agreements, methods, programs and other
               arrangements under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c) if the same
               Participant had deferrals of compensation under all of the
               agreements, methods, programs and other arrangements that are
               terminated and liquidated;

          (iii) No payments in liquidation of the Plan are made within twelve
               (12) months of the date the Company takes all necessary action to
               irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan, other than payments
               that would be payable under the terms of the Plan if the action
               to terminate and liquidate the Plan had not occurred;

<PAGE>

          (iv) All payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of the date
               the Company takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate
               and liquidate the Plan; and

          (v)  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate will adopt a new plan that
               would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated plan under
               Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c) if the same Participant
               participated in both plans, at any time within three (3) years
               following the date the Company takes all necessary action to
               irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan.

     b. CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Company may irrevocably terminate and liquidate
the Plan within thirty (30) days preceding or twelve (12) months following a
"change in control event" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section
1.409A-3(i)(5), provided that all agreements, methods, programs and other
arrangements sponsored by the Company and its Affiliates immediately after the
time of the change in control event with respect to which deferrals of
compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single plan under
Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) are terminated and liquidated with respect to
each Participant that experienced the change in control event, so that under the
terms of the termination and liquidation all such Participants are required to
receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated agreements,
methods, programs and other arrangements within twelve (12) months of the date
the Company and its Affiliates irrevocably takes all necessary action to
terminate and liquidate the agreements, methods, programs and arrangements.

     c. CORPORATE DISSOLUTION. The Company may irrevocably terminate and
liquidate the Plan within twelve (12) months following a corporate dissolution
taxed under Code Section 331 of the Code, or with the approval of a bankruptcy
court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts
deferred under the Plan are included in the Participants' gross incomes in the
latest of following years (or, if earlier, the taxable year in which the amount
is actually or constructively received): (i) the calendar year in which the Plan
termination and liquidation occurs; (ii) the first calendar in which the amount
is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (iii) the first
calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.

     ARTICLE X - EFFECTIVE DATE

     This amended and restated Plan is effective as of January 1, 2008. The
Plan, as amended and restated, supersedes all prior versions of the Plan and
applies to all compensation deferred (i) on or after such effective date, under
the amended and restated Plan, and (ii) before such effective date, under prior
versions of the Plan.
