Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the
registration fee. Pursuant to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), the price per share is estimated
to be $25.39 based upon the average of the high ($25.68) and the low
($25.10) trading prices of the common stock, $.01 par value per share
("Common Stock") of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (the "Registrant") as
reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on June 9, 2003.
2.
This Form S-8 with respect to the Amended and Restated 1995
Employee Stock Option Plan and the 1994 Directors' Stock Option Plan
(collectively, the "Plans") relates only to the registration of
additional securities of the same class as other securities for which a
registration statement on Form S-8 is effective. Pursuant to General
Instruction E of Form S-8, the filing fee is based only on the
additional securities that may be issued pursuant to the respective
Plans.
3.
Shares of Registrant's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
authorized and outstanding options under the Registrant's Plans,
together with an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be
necessary to adjust the number of shares additionally reserved for
issuance under the Plans as a result of any future stock split, stock
dividend or similar adjustment of the outstanding Common Stock, as
provided in Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act.

Item 9. Undertakings.
A.     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which,

individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(iii)     To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this
section do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or
Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
B.     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
C.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer of controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling

precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
