                  GUARANTY OF RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and to induce LEHMAN BROTHERS BANK, FSB, a federal
stock savings bank, having an address at 1000 West Street, Suite 200,
Wilmington, Delaware 19801 ("Lender"), to lend to EM COLUMBUS II, LLC, a
Delawarel limited liability company having an address at 150 East Gay Street,
Columbus, Ohio 43215 ("Borrower"), the principal sum of FORTY-THREE MILLION AND
00/100 DOLLARS ($43,000,000.00) (the "Loan"), advanced pursuant to that certain
Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Borrower and Lender (as the
same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time, the "Loan Agreement") and evidenced by the Note (as defined in the
Loan Agreement) and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
All capitalized words and phrases not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

     The undersigned, GLIMCHER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware
limited partnership, having an address at 150 East Gay Street, Columbus, Ohio
43215 (hereinafter referred to as "Guarantor") hereby absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees to Lender the prompt and unconditional payment of the
Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower (hereinafter defined).

     It is expressly understood and agreed that this is a continuing guaranty
and that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute under
any and all circumstances, without regard to the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, a
true copy of each of said documents Guarantor hereby acknowledges having
received and reviewed.

     The term "Debt" as used in this Guaranty of Recourse Obligations of
Borrower (the "Guaranty") shall mean the principal sum evidenced by the Note and
secured by the Security Instrument, or so much thereof as may be outstanding
from time to time, together with interest thereon at the rate of interest
specified in the Note and all other sums other than principal or interest which
may or shall become due and payable pursuant to the provisions of the Note, the
Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents.

     The term "Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower" as used in this
Guaranty shall mean all obligations and liabilities of Borrower for which
Borrower shall be personally liable pursuant to the Note, the Loan Agreement, or
the other Loan Documents.

     Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing
(including, but not limited to, any rights to subrogation Guarantor may have as
a result of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty), together with any
interest thereon, shall be, and such indebtedness is, hereby deferred, postponed
and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Debt. Until payment in full

<PAGE>

of the Debt (and including interest accruing on the Note after the commencement
of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code and the
regulations adopted and promulgated pursuant thereto, which interest the parties
agree shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor
notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in cases under the
Bankruptcy Code generally), Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or
satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and hereby
assigns such indebtedness to Lender, including the right to file proof of claim
and to vote thereon in connection with any such proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. Further, if
Guarantor shall comprise more than one person, firm or corporation, Guarantor
agrees that until such payment in full of the Debt, (a) no one of them shall
accept payment from the others by way of contribution on account of any payment
made hereunder by such party to Lender, (b) no one of them will take any action
to exercise or enforce any rights to such contribution, and (c) if any of
Guarantor should receive any payment, satisfaction or security for any
indebtedness of Borrower to any of Guarantor or for any contribution by the
others of Guarantor for payment made hereunder by the recipient to Lender, the
same shall be delivered to Lender in the form received, endorsed or assigned as
may be appropriate for application on account of, or as security for, the Debt
and until so delivered, shall be held in trust for Lender as security for the
Debt.

     Guarantor agrees that, with or without notice or demand, Guarantor will
reimburse Lender, to the extent that such reimbursement is not made by Borrower,
for all expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender
in connection with the collection of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of
Borrower or any portion thereof or with the enforcement of this Guaranty.

     All moneys available to Lender for application in payment or reduction of
the Debt may be applied by Lender in such manner and in such amounts and at such
time or times and in such order and priority as Lender may see fit to the
payment or reduction of such portion of the Debt as Lender may elect.

     Guarantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance hereof, presentment,
demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, or any and all notice of
non-payment, non-performance or non-observance, or other proof, or notice or
demand, whereby to charge Guarantor therefor.

     Guarantor further agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or
impaired (a) by reason of the assertion by Lender of any rights or remedies
which it may have under or with respect to either the Note, the Loan Agreement,
or the other Loan Documents, against any person obligated thereunder or the
Properties covered under the Loan Agreement, or (b) by reason of any failure to
file or record any of such instruments or to take or perfect any security
intended to be provided thereby, or (c) by reason of the release of any of the
Properties covered under the Loan Agreement or other collateral for the Loan, or
(d) by reason of Lender's failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any such
right or remedy or any right or remedy Lender may have hereunder or in respect
to this Guaranty, or (e) by reason of the commencement of a case under the
Bankruptcy Code by or against any person obligated under the Note, the Loan
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the death of any Guarantor, or (f) by
reason of any payment made on the Debt or any other indebtedness arising under
the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, whether made by


                                       2
<PAGE>

Borrower or Guarantor or any other person, which is required to be refunded
pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law; it being understood that no
payment so refunded shall be considered as a payment of any portion of the Debt,
nor shall it have the effect of reducing the liability of Guarantor hereunder.
It is further understood, that if Borrower shall have taken advantage of, or be
subject to the protection of, any provision in the Bankruptcy Code, the effect
of which is to prevent or delay Lender from taking any remedial action against
Borrower, including the exercise of any option Lender has to declare the Debt
due and payable on the happening of any default or event by which under the
terms of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, the Debt
shall become due and payable, Lender may, as against Guarantor, nevertheless,
declare the Debt due and payable and enforce any or all of its rights and
remedies against Guarantor provided for herein.

     Guarantor further covenants that this Guaranty shall remain and continue in
full force and effect as to any modification, extension or renewal of the Note,
the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, that Lender shall not be under
a duty to protect, secure or insure any Property covered under the Loan
Agreement, and that other indulgences or forbearance may be granted under any or
all of such documents, all of which may be made, done or suffered without notice
to, or further consent of, Guarantor.

     As a further inducement to Lender to make the Loan and in consideration
thereof, Guarantor further covenants and agrees (a) that in any action or
proceeding brought by Lender against Guarantor on this Guaranty, Guarantor shall
and does hereby waive trial by jury, (b) that the Supreme Court of the State of
New York for the County of New York, or, in a case involving diversity of
citizenship, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any such action or proceeding, and
(c) that service of any summons and complaint or other process in any such
action or proceeding may be made by registered or certified mail directed to
Guarantor at Guarantor's address set forth above, Guarantor waiving personal
service thereof. Nothing in this Guaranty will be deemed to preclude Lender from
bringing an action or proceeding with respect hereto in any other jurisdiction.

     This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and upon any default of
Borrower under the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, Lender
may, at its option, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against
Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount of the liability hereunder or
any portion thereof, without proceeding against Borrower or any other person, or
foreclosing upon, selling, or otherwise disposing of or collecting or applying
against any of the mortgaged property or other collateral for the Loan.
Guarantor hereby waives the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense
to the obligation hereunder.

     Each reference herein to Lender shall be deemed to include its successors
and assigns, to whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty shall also inure.
Each reference herein to Guarantor shall be deemed to include the heirs,
executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of
Guarantor, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Guaranty.


                                       3

     If any party hereto shall be a partnership, the agreements and obligations
on the part of Guarantor herein contained shall remain in force and application
notwithstanding any changes in the individuals composing the partnership and the
term "Guarantor" shall include any altered or successive partnerships but the
predecessor partnerships and their partners shall not thereby be released from
any obligations or liability hereunder.

     Guarantor (and its representative, executing below, if any) has full power,
authority and legal right to execute this Guaranty and to perform all its
obligations under this Guaranty.

     All understandings, representations and agreements heretofore had with
respect to this Guaranty are merged into this Guaranty which alone fully and
completely expresses the agreement of Guarantor and Lender.

     This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts by some or all of
the parties hereto, each of which counterparts shall be an original and all of
which together shall constitute a single agreement of Guaranty. The failure of
any party hereto to execute this Guaranty, or any counterpart hereof, shall not
relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.

     This Guaranty may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed,
discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of
Lender or Borrower, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension,
change, discharge or termination is sought.

     This Guaranty shall be governed, construed and interpreted as to validity,
enforcement and in all other respects, in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.
