Company and the Bank.
The term of the agreements is one (1) year, each agreement
replaces a similar agreement under which each executive was
employed during 2016, and each agreement is effective on January
1, 2017. Certain material terms of the agreements are described
below. Such summary does not purport to include all of the
provisions of the agreements and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the employment agreements filed herewith as Exhibits
10.1 and 10.2. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein
have the meanings ascribed to them in the respective agreements.
Ron J. Copher. Mr. Cophers agreement provides for an annual
salary of $391,689.00, and Mr. Copher shall be eligible to
participate in Glaciers incentive compensation plans, which
include cash incentives as a percentage of salary under the 2015
Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) and equity awards as a
percentage of salary under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (LTIP
and together with the STIP, the Plans). All awards granted under
the STIP and LTIP shall be made in accordance with and shall be
subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plans.
If Mr. Cophers employment is terminated by Glacier without Cause
or by Mr. Copher for Good Reason during the term of the
agreement, Mr. Copher will receive a payment equal to the base
salary to which he would have been entitled for the remainder of
the term of the agreement if his employment had not terminated.
All such payments must be completed no later than March 15 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which employment was
terminated. Mr. Copher is prohibited from competing with Glacier
or its subsidiaries during the term of the agreement and for a
two-year period following his termination of employment.

successor without Cause either following the announcement of a
Change in Control that subsequently occurs, within two years
following a Change in Control, or if Mr. Copher terminates his
employment for Good Reason within two years of a Change in
Control, the agreement provides that Mr. Copher will be entitled
to receive an amount equal to two times his then-current annual
salary, payable in 24 monthly installments. The agreement
provides that payments to be received by Mr. Copher will be
limited to less than the amount that would cause them to be an
excess parachute payment within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the
payments to be received by Mr. Copher will be reduced by any
compensation that he receives from Glacier or its successor
following the Change in Control and/or after his termination of
employment.
