Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.
1.As of this 31st day of October, 2013, the undersigned, GLIMCHER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership having an address at 180 E. Broad Street, 21st Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215 (hereinafter referred to as “Guarantor”), hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the prompt and unconditional payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (hereinafter defined).
2.    It is expressly understood and agreed that this is a continuing guaranty and that the Guaranteed 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, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, a true copy of each of said documents Guarantor hereby acknowledges having received and reviewed.
3.    The term “Debt” as used in this Guaranty of Recourse Obligations (this “Guaranty”) shall mean (i) the outstanding principal amount set forth in, and evidenced by, the Loan Agreement and the Note together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other sums due to Lender in respect of the Loan under the Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan 

-1-

Documents, and (ii) all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred (including unpaid or unreimbursed servicing and special servicing fees) by Lender in connection with the enforcement and/or collection of the Debt or any part thereof.
4.    The term “Guaranteed Obligations” as used in this Guaranty shall mean all those obligations and liabilities of Borrowers for which Borrowers shall be personally liable pursuant to Article 13 of the Loan Agreement.
5.    Any indebtedness of Borrowers 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 of the Debt (and including interest accruing on the Note after the commencement of a proceeding by or against any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, 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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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.
6.    Guarantor agrees that, with or without notice or demand, Guarantor will reimburse Lender, to the extent that such reimbursement is not made by Borrowers, for all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty.
7.    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.
8.    Guarantor waives: (a) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of either Borrower, any other guarantor or other person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of either Borrower from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act 

-2-

on behalf of either Borrower or any principal of either Borrower or any defect in the formation of either Borrower or any principal of either Borrower; (c) any defense based upon the application by either Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrowers to Lender or intended or understood by Lender or Guarantor; (d) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender; (e) any defense based upon Lender’s failure to disclose to Guarantor any information concerning either Borrower’s financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on either Borrower’s ability to pay all sums payable under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (f) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (g) any defense based upon Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (h) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (i) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; and (j) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder or the enforcement hereof. In addition, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrowers’ debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (1) Lender may collect any Guaranteed Obligation from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrowers; and (2) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrowers, then (i) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (ii) Lender may collect from Guarantor any amounts payable under this Guaranty even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrowers. The foregoing sentence is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because the Debt is secured by real property. Finally, Guarantor agrees that the payment of all sums payable under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the Note or the other Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor’s liability hereunder.
Guarantor hereby acknowledges that: (a) as part of Lender's consideration for entering into this transaction, Lender has specifically bargained for the waiver and relinquishment by Guarantor of all the defenses set forth above, but does not waive any defense relating to whether the acts, omissions or events giving rise to such Guaranteed Obligations have occurred, and (b) Guarantor has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type reflected in this Guaranty and the Loan Documents. Guarantor hereby represents and confirms to Lender that Guarantor is fully informed regarding, and that Guarantor does thoroughly understand, (i) the nature of all such possible defenses, (ii) the circumstances under which those defenses may arise, (iii) the benefits which those defenses might confer upon Guarantor, and (iv) the legal consequences to Guarantor of waiving those defenses. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has entered into this Guaranty, and both undertaken Guarantor's obligations and given its unconditional waiver with the intent that this Guaranty and all such waivers shall be fully enforceable by Lender, and that Lender has been induced to enter into this transaction in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof.

-3-

9.    Guarantor further agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of (a) the assertion by Lender of any rights or remedies which it may have under or with respect to either the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents, against any person obligated thereunder or against the owner of the Property, (b) any failure to file or record any of such instruments or to take or perfect any security intended to be provided thereby, (c) the release or exchange of any property covered by the Security Instrument or other collateral for the Loan, (d) 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, (e) the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any person obligated under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or the death of any Guarantor, (f) by any partial or total transfer or pledge of the interests in either Borrower, or in any direct or indirect owner of either Borrower, and/or the reconstitution of either Borrower as a result of such transfer or pledge, regardless of whether any of the foregoing is permitted under the Loan Documents, or (g) any payment made on the Debt or any other indebtedness arising under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, whether made by Borrowers 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. In the event that pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder Lender must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrowers and Guarantor that the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such Guaranteed Obligations and then only to the extent of such performance or, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Debt; provided that, Guarantor’s liability for the Guaranteed Obligations shall survive with respect to any claims or actions arising from, or related to, acts, events or circumstances occurring prior to such payment in full of the Debt.  It is further understood, that if either 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 Borrowers, 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, the Security Instrument 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 with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
10.    Guarantor warrants and acknowledges that: (a) Lender would not make the Loan but for this Guaranty; (b) there are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty and this Guaranty shall be in full force and effect and binding on Guarantor regardless of whether Lender obtains other collateral or any guaranties from others or takes any other action contemplated by Guarantor; (c) Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from sources other than Lender, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to Borrowers’ financial 

-4-

condition, the Property and Borrowers’ activities relating thereto, and the status of Borrowers’ performance of obligations under the Loan Documents, and Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor’s risks hereunder and Lender has not made any representation to Guarantor as to any such matters; (d) the most recent financial statements of Guarantor previously delivered to Lender are true and correct in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor in all material respects as of the respective dates thereof, and no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of Guarantor since the respective dates thereof; and (e) Guarantor has not and will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, lease, assign, encumber, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of Guarantor’s assets, or any interest therein, other than in the ordinary course of Guarantor’s business or as permitted by the Loan Agreement.
11.    So long as the Loan or any Guaranteed Obligation remains outstanding (other than, following the termination of the Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents, contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made), Guarantor shall provide to Lender (i) within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year the following (the “Annual Statements”): (A) financial statements of Guarantor covering such fiscal year then ended including a balance sheet, an income and expenses statement, (B) a statement of cash flow and (C) a statement of change in financial position, audited by an Approved Accounting Firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, each of such statements delivered pursuant to this clause (i) shall be certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of Guarantor, (ii) within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter the following (the “Quarterly Statements”): (A) financial statements of Guarantor covering such calendar quarter then ended including a balance sheet, an income and expenses statement, (B) a statement of cash flow and (C) a statement of change in financial position, each of such statements delivered pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of Guarantor, (iii) within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, a certificate of Guarantor that the Minimum Financial Criteria (defined below) continues to be satisfied (including Guarantor’s calculation of Guarantor’s Net Worth and Liquidity), certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of Guarantor (a “Guarantor Minimum Financial Criteria Certificate”) , (iv) within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, a complete copy of Guarantor’s federal and (to the extent applicable) state income tax returns for the immediately preceding tax year, and (v) such other information reasonably requested by Lender and reasonably available to Guarantor; provided, however, that Guarantor shall not be required to deliver the Quarterly Statements to Lender so long as (1) Glimcher Realty Trust (“GRT”) is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute or statutes thereto (the “Exchange Act”), and (2) GRT files its financial information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as and when required by the Exchange Act and such financial information of GRT is available to the public. Guarantor agrees that all financial statements to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Section 11 shall: (i) be complete and correct in all material respects; (ii) present fairly and accurately the financial condition of Guarantor; (iii) disclose all liabilities that are required to be reflected or reserved against; and (iv) be prepared (A) in electronic format (and, at the request of Lender, in hardcopy format) and (B) in accordance with GAAP or in accordance with other principles acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion (consistently applied). Guarantor shall be deemed 

-5-

to warrant and represent that, as of the date of delivery of any such financial statement, there has been no material adverse change in financial condition, nor have any assets or properties been sold, transferred, assigned, mortgaged, pledged or encumbered (other than in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the Loan Documents) since the date of such financial statement except as disclosed by Guarantor in a writing delivered to Lender. Guarantor agrees that all financial statements shall not contain any misrepresentation or omission of a material fact which would make such financial statements inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect.
Furthermore, each legal entity obligated on this Guaranty hereby authorizes Lender to order and obtain, from a credit reporting agency of Lender’s choice, a third party credit report on such legal entity.
12.    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, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents, that Lender shall not be under a duty to protect, secure or insure any security or lien provided by the Security Instrument or other such collateral, 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.
13.    Guarantor further covenants and agrees that in the event that either Borrower or any other subsidiary or Affiliate of Guarantor shall become the owner and holder of any lands or estates in connection with the exercise of Fee Borrower’s (or its designee’s) rights pursuant to the Allocation Agreements, such Person shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the applicable Allocation Agreement and Guarantor shall cause any such Person to enter into documentation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender evidencing such Person’s obligations thereunder and Guarantor shall cause such Person to direct such Person’s allocable share of the PILOT Payments to the Deposit Account as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Cash Management Agreement. 
14.    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) Guarantor will maintain an agent for service of process in the State of New York and give prompt notice to Lender of the address of such place of business and of the name and address of any new agent appointed by it, as appropriate, (c) the failure of Guarantor’s agent for service of process to give it notice of any service of process will not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon, (d) if, despite the foregoing, there is for any reason no agent for service of process of Guarantor available to be served, then Guarantor irrevocably consents to service of process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address given in or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof, Guarantor hereby waiving personal service thereof, (e) Guarantor initially and irrevocably designates National Registered Agents, Inc., with offices on the date hereof at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10011 to receive for and on behalf of Guarantor service of process in the State of New York with respect to this Guaranty, (f) with respect to any claim or action arising hereunder, Guarantor (i) irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the 

-6-

State of New York and the United States District Court located in New York County, and appellate courts from any thereof, and (ii) irrevocably waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying on venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty brought in any such court, irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (g) nothing in this Guaranty will be deemed to preclude Lender from bringing an action or proceeding with respect hereto in any other jurisdiction.
1.    This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and, upon the Guaranteed Obligations being incurred by Lender or upon any default of Borrowers under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument 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 Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof, without proceeding against Borrowers 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.
16.    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.
17.    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 general partners shall not thereby be released from any obligations or liability hereunder.
18.    It is the intent of Guarantor and Lender that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and finally paid and performed, and not subject to refund or disgorgement, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or released, in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of a Guarantor. This Guaranty shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (x) a Permitted Property Transfer occurs and (y) Lender receives a replacement guaranty agreement, in form and substance substantially similar to this Guaranty, executed by a replacement guarantor reasonably acceptable to Lender (“Replacement Guaranty”), following Guarantor’s written request, Lender shall execute and deliver a release of Guarantor from liability hereunder arising solely from any circumstance, condition, action or event first occurring after the effective date of the Permitted Property Transfer (such date being referred to herein as the “Guarantor Release Date”) if such circumstance, condition, action or event is not caused or authorized by, or consented to by Guarantor or any Affiliate; provided, however, that Guarantor shall remain liable for any obligation hereunder arising from any circumstance, condition, action 

-7-

or event occurring prior to the Guarantor Release Date, even to the extent the applicable liability, loss, cost, or expense does not occur, or the occurrence of the applicable circumstance, condition, action or event is not discovered, until after such date.
19.    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.
20.    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.
21.    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 Borrowers, 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.
22.    This Guaranty shall be deemed to be a contract entered into pursuant to the laws of the State of New York and shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with applicable federal law and the laws of the State of New York, without reference or giving effect to any choice of law doctrine.
23.    Guarantor hereby warrants, represents and covenants to Lender that:
(a)    Guarantor is duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the state in which such entity is organized. Guarantor is currently qualified or licensed (as applicable) and shall remain qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified or licensed.
(b)    The execution and delivery by Guarantor (and its representative executing below, if any) of the Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party has been duly authorized and the Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party constitute valid and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, or by the application of rules of equity.
(c)    The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of each of the Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party do not violate any provision of any law or regulation, or result in any breach or default under any contract, obligation, indenture or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor is bound.
(d)    There are no pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened actions, claims, investigations, suits or proceedings before any governmental authority, court or administrative agency which have, or would have, a Material Adverse Effect on the financial condition or operations of Guarantor, Borrowers and/or the Property.

-8-

(e)    There are no pending assessments or adjustments of Guarantor’s income tax payable with respect to any year that have, or would have, a Material Adverse Effect on Guarantor.
(f)    None of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will be or have been made with an actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditors of Guarantor, and Guarantor, on the date hereof, will have received fair and reasonably equivalent value in good faith for the continued grant of the liens or security interests effected by the Loan Documents.  As of the date hereof, Guarantor is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.  As of the date hereof, Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they become due.
(g)    Guarantor shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any litigation pending against Guarantor which, if determined adversely to Guarantor, could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, profits, prospects, management, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor, or (ii) the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty.
(h)    As of the date hereof and continuing thereafter for the term of the Loan, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.21, 3.28 and 3.29 of the Loan Agreement are true and correct with respect to Guarantor, it being understood that wherever the term “Borrower” or “Borrowers” is used in each the foregoing sections it shall be deemed to be “Guarantor”. 
(i)    Guarantor shall keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained proper and accurate books and records reflecting the financial affairs of Guarantor. During a Cash Trap Event Period, Lender shall have the right, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to Guarantor to examine such books and records at the office of Guarantor or other Person maintaining such books and records and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire.
(j)    So long as the Loan and any of the obligations set forth in the Loan Documents remain outstanding, Guarantor shall maintain (x) a minimum Net Worth (as defined herein) of not less than $600,000,000 and (y) Liquidity (as defined herein) of no less than $10,000,000 (the above items, (x) and (y), collectively, the “Minimum Financial Criteria”). The failure of Guarantor to maintain the Minimum Financial Criteria shall constitute an Event of Default, provided, that no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist solely as a result of Guarantor’s failure to maintain the Minimum Financial Criteria if within thirty (30) days after the date Lender receives a Guarantor Minimum Financial Criteria Certificate which indicates that Guarantor has failed to maintain the Minimum Financial Criteria (provided, that in the event Guarantor fails to deliver a Guarantor Minimum Financial Criteria Certificate as required hereunder within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Lender, Guarantor shall be deemed to have failed to comply with the Minimum Financial Criteria until a Guarantor Minimum Financial Criteria Certificate is delivered to Lender which indicates that Guarantor maintains the Minimum Financial Criteria) either (i) a replacement guarantor (a “Replacement Guarantor”) which is a Satisfactory Replacement Guarantor (as defined below) assumes the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party and each of the following conditions are also satisfied: (A) no other 

-9-

Event of Default hereunder or under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, (B) concurrently with the assumption by such Replacement Guarantor of the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party, each Borrower and such Replacement Guarantor affirms each of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents, and (C) prior to or concurrently with such assumption, as applicable, Lender receives such information, documentation and opinions as may be required by Lender in connection with such assumption and the foregoing in order to satisfy any REMIC Requirements, or (ii)  Borrowers have delivered to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that Guarantor satisfies the Minimum Financial Criteria and no other Event of Default hereunder or under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing. As used herein, the term “Satisfactory Replacement Guarantor” shall mean a replacement guarantor that (1) satisfies the Minimum Financial Criteria, (2) is acceptable to the Rating Agencies and reasonably acceptable to Lender, and (3) is an Affiliate of Borrowers.
As used herein:
“Net Worth” shall mean total equity as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles plus accumulated depreciation.
“Liquidity” shall mean the sum of (a) unencumbered Cash and Cash Equivalents of Guarantor and Guarantor Subsidiaries, valued in accordance with GAAP (or other principles acceptable to Lender), plus (b) marketable securities of Guarantor and Guarantor Subsidiaries, valued in accordance with GAAP (or other principles acceptable to Lender), plus (c) any Available Credit Facility Amount.
“Available Credit Facility Amount” shall mean, as of the date of determination, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amounts available to be borrowed under any lines of credit available to Guarantor on such date of determination (after giving effect to any applicable borrowing base or collateral requirements or other conditions precedent to borrowing).

	2.
	PURCHASE PRICE.

(a)    Purchaser agrees to pay Seller, as the purchase price for the Interests, the sum of Fifty-Three Million Dollars ($53,000,000.00).  The parties agree that Fifty Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($50,500,000.00) of the Purchase Price is attributable and allocated to the Land and Improvements and that Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) 

2

of the Purchase Price is attributable to the Brownfield Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) program benefitting the Property.
(b)    The Purchase Price is based on the completion of all Improvements and Seller shall be responsible, at Seller’s sole expense, to cause the Company to complete the construction of the Improvements on the Property such that the Property shall be lien free with all Improvements completed at Closing in the manner set forth in Section 2(c).  Seller shall also be responsible, at Seller’s sole expense, to cause the Company to pay all leasing costs (leasing commissions, cash or improvement allowances payable to tenants and costs of landlord work) associated with the leases for the Property identified on Schedule 2(b)(the “Required Leases”) which have not been paid in full at Closing.  In the event that any required leasing costs or construction costs have not been paid in full by Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit in the amount of such unpaid costs against the Purchase Price (calculated in the manner set forth in  Section 2(d)) and, upon Closing, Seller shall be relieved from paying such identified unpaid costs.
(c)    For all purposes of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the substantial completion of the Improvements on the Property shall mean the completion of the four buildings including completion of all required landlord work, as designated in the leases for any of the Required Leases (the “Landlord Work”), and the completion of a vanilla shell for the remaining first floor tenant space (A-103) in building A and a cold dark shell for each of the remaining second floor tenant spaces (C-203 and C-205) in building C.  Improvements shall be deemed to be “completed” upon confirmation by Purchaser’s architect (ka, inc.) that: (i) the Company has received all applicable governmental approvals with respect to the shells of the four buildings, the Landlord Work for the Required Leases and the associated site work comprising the Improvements; (ii) the Company’s architect has certified that such building shells, Landlord Work for the Required Leases and site work have been substantially completed (subject only to minor punch-list items which are the Company’s responsibility to complete) in accordance with the plans and specifications previously provided to the Purchaser; and (iii) the Company has delivered to Purchaser the executed estoppels required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(a) of this Agreement.
(d)    Following substantial completion of the Improvements, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser its good faith calculation of the credit to Purchaser described in Section 2(b) together with copies of the certificate of substantial completion from Seller’s architects, final lien waivers from its contractors and subcontractors (other than with respect to work remaining to complete punch-list items) and certification of the payment of all construction costs (including retainage amounts held and/or balances due, if any).  For this purpose, the credit shall include (i) uncompleted or unpaid Landlord Work and other punch-list items identified in the tenant estoppel certificates or identified by the Seller’s architect, in its certification of substantial completion; (ii) uncompleted or unpaid construction costs pursuant to any Required Lease as to which an estoppel has not been provided; and (iii) unpaid tenant allowances 

3

and leasing commissions with respect to the Required Leases.  Following receipt of such credit calculation and certificate of substantial completion from Seller’s architect, Purchaser and its architect shall have the right to conduct a final inspection the Property to determine the extent to which any construction work remains to be completed.  Such inspection must take place within two (2) weeks of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s calculation of the credit.  If Purchaser disagrees with Seller’s calculation of the credit, Purchaser must object to Seller’s calculation by sending written notice of objection to Seller within such two week period.  If Purchaser fails to provide the notice of objection to Seller within such two week period, Seller’s calculation of the credit shall be utilized.  If Purchaser timely provides the notice of objection to Seller, the parties hereto shall arrange to discuss the amount of the credit prior to the Closing, and each shall negotiate the amount of such credit reasonably and in good faith.  If the parties are unable to agree to the amount of the credit, the parties agree that the disputed funds shall be deposited in escrow at Closing pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.  
(e)    In the event that prior to the Closing Date the Company or Seller pays any construction costs or leasing costs for Leases that are not Required Leases (other than costs for the delivery of the shells for such spaces as provided in Section 2 (c) above), the amount of such expenditures will be credited to Seller at Closing.

		
	3.
	PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.

(a)    Within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Agent the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”) as an earnest money deposit.  On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deposit an additional amount of One Million Five Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($1,590,000.00) with Escrow Agent as an additional earnest money deposit (the “Additional Deposit”, together with the Initial Deposit, is referred to herein as the “Earnest Deposit”).  The Earnest Deposit shall be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of an Escrow Agreement entered into simultaneously with this Agreement, in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”).  Upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Earnest Deposit.  If the transaction does not so close, the Earnest Deposit shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
(b)    The Purchase Price or net proceeds payable to Seller (after adjustments for payment of Seller costs, credit for any cash deposits held or other credits provided in this Agreement including adjustments, if any, pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) below, credit for the Earnest Deposit, and the payoff of any existing loans encumbering the Property) shall, at each Seller’s option, be payable (i) in cash; or (ii) in a combination of cash and operating partnership units of Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership (“OP Units”) calculated in accordance with Schedule 3(b) attached hereto and, except for the requirements set forth in the Purchaser’s Limited Partnership Agreement, on such other terms as the parties mutually agree; provided, however, that each Seller 

4

may substitute all or part of any cash payment for a  non-interest bearing promissory note due January 2, 2014 in the principal amount of the foregone cash payment.  Purchaser shall provide Seller with all information and documents reasonably requested by Seller with respect to the OP Units, including, but not limited to, a copy of Purchaser’s Limited Partnership Agreement and any amendments and exhibits thereto.  The Sellers shall select the form of payment prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.  In the event that either Seller elects to acquire OP Units in part and cash in part, Purchaser shall work with such Seller to structure the receipt of all or part of such cash as a (lawful) tax-free return.  As set forth in Schedule 3(b), in the event that Purchaser gives notice to Seller that Purchaser is unwilling to issue OP Units for any portion of the Purchase Price due to the Current Per Share Market Price (as defined in Schedule 3(b)) being less than Ten Dollars ($10.00), Seller shall have the right to elect to terminate the Purchase Agreement in which event Purchaser shall receive a refund of the Earnest Deposit and neither of the parties hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations that are set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement specifically, or that survive the termination of this Agreement or termination of the Access Agreement.
(c)    Thomas Stegeman, or a subsidiary wholly-owned by Thomas Stegeman, and/or Max Reiswerg, or a subsidiary wholly-owned by Max Reiswerg, (each a “Seller Member”) shall have the option to remain as a member in the Company with such Seller Member to retain an interest in the Company equal to the membership interest retained.  A Seller Member electing to remain a member of the Company shall exercise such option prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period.  If one or more Seller Member elects to remain a member of the Company, Purchaser and each such Seller Member shall at Closing enter into a reasonably acceptable Amended and Restated Operating Agreement for the Company.  The form of such Amended and Restated Operating Agreement for the Company shall be agreed upon prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period. If more than one Seller Member elects to retain a percentage interest in the Company, such retained interest in the Company shall be allocated pari passu based on the net proceeds due each such electing Seller Member at Closing.  The Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount attributable to the portion of net proceeds due a Seller Member that is attributed to the combined retained interests in the Company.  The total percentage interests for all Seller Members that may retain an interest in the Company shall be limited such that the total combined Seller Member interest in the Company following Closing shall not exceed ten percent (10%) in the aggregate.
(d)    Purchaser may form a new affiliated limited liability company (“NewCo”) to take title to the Property at Closing.  Each Seller Member shall have the option to become a member of NewCo in consideration of the payment to NewCo by such Seller Member of an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to such membership interest.  A Seller Member electing to become a member of NewCo shall exercise such option prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period.  If one or more Seller Member elects to become a member of NewCo, Purchaser and each such Seller Member shall enter into a reasonably acceptable Operating Agreement for 

5

NewCo at Closing to reflect his or their admission as members of NewCo.  The form of such Operating Agreement for NewCo shall be agreed upon prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period.  If more than one Seller Member elects to receive a percentage interest in NewCo, such interest in NewCo shall be allocated pari passu based on the net proceeds that would otherwise have been due each such electing Seller Member at Closing.  The total interest in NewCo that all Seller Members may obtain shall be limited such that the total combined Seller Member interests in NewCo shall not exceed ten percent (10%) in the aggregate.
4.    ESCROW - TITLE - SURVEY.
(a)    The parties hereto designate Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), 4111 Executive Parkway, Suite 304, Westerville, Ohio 43081, Attn:  Mark Sinkhorn; Telephone:  800-626-9881; Email:  mark.sinkhorn@fnf.com as the escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”) in connection with this transaction.  Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement.  The Escrow Agreement shall serve as escrow instructions for the Earnest Deposit and the Holdback Amount, if applicable.  By execution of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent agrees that the Earnest Deposit shall be held as a deposit under this Agreement in an interest bearing account and:  (i) applied against the Purchase Price if Closing occurs; (ii) delivered to Purchaser if Purchaser terminates this Agreement prior to expiration of the due Diligence Period as hereafter set forth; or (iii) delivered to Seller or Purchaser, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.  Interest on the Earnest Deposit shall be added to and deemed part of the Earnest Deposit.
(b)    Within twenty (20) days of the Effective Date, Purchaser shall obtain and deliver to Seller:  (i) a commitment from the Title Company (“Commitment”) to issue an update of the Seller’s existing title insurance policy or issue a new ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance Form (ALTA 2006) in an amount equal to $50.5 million (the “Title Policy”); and (ii) an ALTA “as built” survey (the “Survey”) for the Property which meets current ALTA/ACSM requirements.  The Survey shall be certified to the Company, Purchaser and the Title Company.  The Survey shall be in form and substance sufficient to delete the standard survey exception from the Title Policy.  On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall execute and deliver to the Title Company Seller’s customary form of owner’s affidavit which will enable the Title Company to delete the other standard printed exceptions other than the survey exception from the Title Policy (the “Owner’s Title Affidavit”).  It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property that the Title Company can and will, on the Closing Date, issue the Title Policy in accordance with the Commitment and subject only to:  (i) the Leases identified on Exhibit C hereto and any Leases entered into after the date hereof but prior to Closing in compliance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii)  all non-delinquent real estate taxes and assessments and personal property taxes and all real estate taxes and assessments and personal property taxes which are the obligations of or which are paid directly by Tenants under the Leases identified on Exhibit C in effect on the Closing Date to the entity imposing same; (iii) the rights of the Tenants under the Leases and under any Leases entered into after the date hereof but prior to Closing in compliance with the terms of this Agreement; 

6

and (iv) matters set forth on the Schedule of Permitted Exceptions attached hereto as Schedule 4(c) (the “Permitted Exceptions”). 
(c)    Purchaser shall give written notice to Seller within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Commitment (“Purchaser’s Objection Notice”), specifying objection(s) to those items shown on the Commitment reasonably objected to by Purchaser (“Title Defects”), and those encroachments or other matters shown on the Survey reasonably objected to by Purchaser (“Survey Defects”; Title Defects and Survey Defects shall be collectively known as “Objections”).  Within five (5) business days following receipt of Purchaser’s Objection Notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Title Response Notice”) of those Objections which Seller intends to cure at or prior to Closing (“Cure Items”).  If Seller identifies any Cure Items in Seller’s Title Response Notice, then Seller shall proceed to satisfy the Cure Items at or prior to Closing.  If Seller is unable to satisfy the Cure Items at or prior to Closing despite Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts, then Seller, by providing written notice to Purchaser, shall have a period of not more than fifteen (15) additional days after the proposed Closing Date in which to cause the Cure Items to be satisfied, in which case the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to the extent necessary to enable Seller to so satisfy the Cure Items.  If Seller fails to deliver Seller’s Title Response Notice within the aforementioned five (5)-business day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any of the Objections.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain documents from third parties to discharge or have the Title Company insure over and remove such items from the Title Policy such as mortgages, deeds of trusts, financing statements and other instruments created by Seller and evidencing or securing the repayment of existing debt, judgment liens, mechanic’s liens and other liens of a liquidated amount evidencing a monetary obligation (excluding liens for real estate taxes and assessments (both general and special) not due and payable) (collectively, “Monetary Liens”), regardless of whether or not Purchaser has notified Seller of Purchaser’s objection thereto.  Failure of Purchaser to object to a Monetary Lien shall in no event be deemed a waiver of Purchaser’s right to require Seller to remove such Monetary Lien.  Seller may use proceeds of the Purchase Price to satisfy or remove such Monetary Liens at Closing.
Within five (5) business days of receipt of Seller’s Title Response Notice, Purchaser shall elect to do one of the following:  (i) waive the Objections that Seller has not designated as Cure Items and proceed to acquire the Property without any reduction of the Purchase Price and take title to the Property subject to such Objections; or (ii) terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Seller and to the Escrow Agent, in which event Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Deposit to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all obligations hereunder except those obligations that expressly survive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  If Purchaser fails to timely make any such election, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the Property pursuant to the foregoing clause (i).
		
	5.
	DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD.

(a)    To the extent not previously delivered to Purchaser, within three (3) business days of the Effective Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser the materials and documents shown on Schedule 5a (collectively “Due Diligence Materials”) (and Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the 

7

items checked off on such Schedule 5a).  Purchaser reserves the right to make additional document requests and in the event Seller discovers additional due diligence materials relating to the Property or the Company that have not been provided to Purchaser as part of the Due Diligence Materials, Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with a copy of such additional due diligence materials.  The Company and Purchaser have entered into that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated as of March 26, 2013 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).  Purchaser agrees that all information obtained by Purchaser with respect to the Property shall be held in strict accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.
(b)    Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the forty-fifth (45th) day after the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Period”) to conduct inspections and investigations of the Company and the Property reasonably required by Purchaser in order to determine the suitability of the Company and the Property for Purchaser’s purchase of the Interest (collectively, the “Inspections”).  During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser and its authorized agents may undertake a due diligence review of the Property and the Company and all related documents and information, including leases, reciprocal easement and operating agreements, soils, engineering and structural reports, plans and specifications, construction contracts for work in process, environmental assessments, title insurance policies, existing surveys and other records including, but not limited to, operating and capital budgets, real estate tax receipts and other financial reports pertaining to the development and operation of the Property.  As part of such due diligence review Purchaser may conduct one or more physical inspections of the Property, including mechanical, engineering, soils and environmental inspections, provided that all such inspections will be conducted during business hours following two (2) business days’ notice to Seller.  At Seller’s election, Seller may have a representative present at each such inspection.  Purchaser will conduct its inspections and reviews in such a manner so as to minimize any damage, loss, cost or expense to, or claims against Seller, the Company or the Property, and Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold Seller, the Company and the Property harmless from and against such damage, loss, cost, expenses or claim.  Seller and Purchaser have executed an Access Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2013, (the “Access Agreement”) and all on site Property Inspections by Purchaser shall be conducted in accordance with the said Access Agreement.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser at no cost to Seller to facilitate the Inspections.  Any and all work for Purchaser’s due diligence investigations shall be performed without cost or expense to Seller and Purchaser shall provide Seller with copies of all reports obtained by Purchaser with respect to the Property or the Interests following receipt thereof. 
(c)    If Purchaser’s review of the due Diligence Materials or the results of the Inspections or the Reports are not acceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event Purchaser shall receive a refund of the Earnest Deposit and neither of the parties hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations 

8

that are set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement specifically, or that survive the termination of this Agreement or termination of the Access Agreement.  If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Interests.  In addition, the Earnest Deposit shall become nonrefundable to Purchaser, but shall remain applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing.
		
	6.
	CLOSING.

Subject to terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing or Closing Date”) shall take place on the earlier to occur of:  thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or (b) December 31, 2013 provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to Close until Seller has delivered all estoppels required under Section 7 below.  At Closing, Seller shall transfer and convey unencumbered legal title to the Interests to Purchaser, and the Land shall only be subject to the Permitted Exceptions and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
		
	7.
	CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING

In addition, Seller shall provide Purchaser with signed leases (including a signed lease for Arhaus if an estoppel is not required to be provided) which, when aggregated with the leases for which estoppels are provided, represent at least 90% of the NOI for the retail portion of the center.

(xv)    All of the currently executed Leases and any of the Proposals (as that term is defined in Section 19 (b) below) have been delivered to the Purchaser, and each is a full and complete copy thereof.  Except as set forth on Schedule 8(a) (xv), to Seller’s knowledge, no Tenant is currently in default beyond any applicable grace period under its Lease, and the current Lease List attached as Exhibit C of this Agreement is true and accurate in all material respects.  The Seller agrees to update the Lease List and Schedule 8(a) (xv) prior to the Closing.  Except as provided in the Leases, or any of the Proposals, or as otherwise disclosed to Purchaser, no brokerage commissions are due related to the current term of any Lease existing as of the Effective Date, or any renewal or extension thereof.
(b)    Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller, now and again on the Closing Date, that:  (i) Purchaser has all necessary limited partnership power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate all the transactions contemplated herein, (ii) the individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser are duly authorized to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser and to bind Purchaser from and after Closing, and (iii) this Agreement and all documents to be executed by Purchaser and delivered to Seller hereunder (A) are and will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent enforceability is affected by bankruptcy or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights (B) do not or will not contravene any provision of Purchaser’s organizational documents, or to Purchaser’s knowledge any existing laws and regulations applicable to Purchaser, and (C) will not result in a material violation of any agreement, instrument, order, writ, judgment or decree to which Purchaser is a party or is subject.
(c)    None of the representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any of the Closing Documents shall merge into the documents pursuant to which the Interests are transferred to Purchaser, except as expressly provided herein, and all shall survive the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year (the “Survival Period”) unless otherwise specified herein.  All rights of Purchaser hereunder or under any of the Closing Documents, with respect to any surviving representation or warranty of Seller (“Surviving Obligations”) shall be deemed waived if Purchaser does not, by written notice to Seller, advise Seller of any alleged breach of such representation or warranty prior to the expiration of the Survival Period.  Subject to the limitation set forth in the two (2) immediately preceding sentences, all remedies shall be those set forth in Section 16 below (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Escrow Agreement), and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller’s liability under any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity made hereunder or in 

13

any of the Closing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate Seller’s Maximum Liability (as hereinafter defined) excepting however, that a breach by either Seller Member of its respective representations relating to such Seller Member’s title to such Seller’s Interests shall not be limited to the Seller Maximum Liability.  The provisions of this Section 8(c) shall survive the Closing.
(d)    Whenever Seller states in this Agreement that it “knows” or has “knowledge” of a fact, or some similar statement, the parties hereto agree that such representations only relate to the actual (and not constructive) knowledge of either Thomas Stegeman or Max Reiswerg, with no duty to inquire.
		
	9.
	SELLER’S COVENANTS.

From and after the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, Seller and Seller’s agents shall cause the Company at the Company’s expense to:

(b)    keep in existence all fire and extended coverage insurance policies, and all liability insurance policies that are in existence as of the date of this Agreement with respect to the Property;

(e)    not to further pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Property;

14

10.    DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS.
(a)    On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver the following documents (the “Closing Documents”) to Purchaser, all duly executed and if to be recorded, acknowledged, by Seller, where appropriate, each of which shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (and one or more of which may be waived in writing by Purchaser, in its sole discretion, on or prior to the Closing Date) in form and substance specified below, or if not specified, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller:
(i)    an assignment and assumption of membership interests, in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the “Assignment and Assumption”);
(ii)    To the extent required by the Title Company, an Owner’s statement or affidavit in the form annexed hereto as Schedule 10(a)(ii) (the “Title Affidavit”);

(vii)    all of the original Leases, Contracts and Licenses in possession or control of Seller or the Company (or copies thereof to the extent not in Seller’s or the Company’s possession), and all Books and Records in Seller’s possession or control [Purchaser can do this on its own]
(viii)    [Intentionally deleted.]
(ix)    a certificate in the form of Exhibit H recertifying the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8(a) above as of the Closing Date;

	11.
	FIRE OR CASUALTY.

In the event of damage to the Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such fire or other casualty.  If the fire or other casualty causes damage which would cost in excess of $1,000,000 to repair (as determined by a licensed engineer or architect retained by Purchaser in good faith), or permit any tenant under a Lease to terminate its Lease, then Purchaser may elect, by written notice to be delivered to Seller on or before the sooner of (i) the twentieth (20th) day after Purchaser’s receipt of such notice or (ii) the Closing Date, to either:  (a) close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, in which event all insurance proceeds received prior to Closing shall be retained by the Company and deemed part of the Property to be transferred at Closing and Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of any applicable deductibles or expended by Seller or the Company solely in connection with the 

16

repair or replacement of the Property following such casualty, or (b) terminate this Agreement, and receive a return of the Earnest Deposit in which case the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder (except for obligations that are expressly intended to survive the termination of this Agreement).  If the damage to the Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date would cost $1,000,000 or less to repair (as determined by a licensed engineer or architect retained by Purchaser in good faith) and not permit any tenant under a Lease to terminate its Lease, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by reason thereof, and Seller shall have the right to elect to either repair and restore the Property to the condition that existed before such damage if such repair or restoration may be completed prior to the Closing Date, but if Seller does not do so prior to Closing, then all insurance proceeds received prior to Closing shall be retained by the Company and deemed part of the Property to be transferred at Closing and Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of any applicable deductibles.  For purposes of this Section 11, the term “Property” shall be limited to and refer only to the Land and Improvements.
		
	12.
	CONDEMNATION.

If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any part of the Property is taken by condemnation or a conveyance in lieu thereof, or if Seller receives notice of a condemnation proceeding with respect to the Property, then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof.  If the taking or threatened taking involves a material portion of the Property (hereinafter defined), Purchaser may elect, by written notice to be delivered to Seller on or before the sooner of (i) the twentieth (20th) day after Purchaser’s receipt of such notice, or (ii) the Closing Date, to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder (except for obligations that are expressly intended to survive the termination of this Agreement).  If Purchaser elects to close this transaction notwithstanding such taking or condemnation, all condemnation awards received prior to Closing shall be retained by the Company and deemed part of the Property to be transferred at Closing or expended by Seller or the Company solely in connection with the repair or replacement of the Property following such taking.  As used herein, a “material portion of the Property” means any part of the Property reasonably required for the operation of the Property in the manner operated on the date hereof; provided, that the cost of restoration thereof shall exceed $500,000 in the reasonable estimate of Seller except that any taking that would permit a tenant to terminate its Lease shall in all cases be deemed a taking involving a material portion of the Property.  If any taking or threatened taking does not involve a material portion of the Property, Purchaser shall be required to proceed with the Closing, in which event all condemnation awards received prior to Closing shall be retained by the Company and deemed part of the Property to be transferred at Closing.  For purposes of this Section 12, the term “Property” shall be limited to and refer only to the Land and Improvements.
13.    ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.
Adjustments and prorations with respect to the Property shall be computed and determined between the parties as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date as follows:

17

(a)    General real estate taxes, special assessments and personal property taxes shall be prorated as of the Closing Date based on the then current taxes (if known, based on final tax bills for such period, and if not known, based on the most recent ascertainable taxes) and the special assessments due and owing prior to Closing, and Seller or Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing, as appropriate.  Without affecting the obligations set forth in this Section 13, the prorations for real and personal property taxes shall be equitably prorated on a “net” basis (i.e., adjusted for all tenants’ liabilities and payments of additional rent under the Leases for proportionate share of taxes and assessments if any, for such items).  If final taxes or special assessments are not known as of the Closing, the parties agree to reprorate when such amounts become known. 
(b)    All rents and other sums receivable from tenants of the Property, which were earned and attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date, will be credited to Seller to the extent that such rents have been collected on or before the Closing Date.  Rents earned and attributable to the period beginning on the Closing Date and thereafter will be paid to the Company by the tenants, or credited to Purchaser at Closing (if such rents are received by the Company prior to the Closing Date).  All payments from tenants, on account of rent or otherwise, received by Seller on behalf of the Company after the Closing Date, whether attributable to the period prior to or after the Closing Date, shall be deemed to be held in trust by Seller for Purchaser and shall be promptly delivered to Purchaser by Seller for application as provided in this Section 13.  All payments from tenants, on account of rent or otherwise, received after the Closing Date by the Company or by Purchaser on behalf of the Company and all amounts received from Seller by Purchaser pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, shall be applied first to rent or other sums then due under the Leases attributable to the month in which the Closing Date occurs, then to the period after the Closing Date on account of rents earned and attributable to such period, and then to Seller on account of rents which were earned and attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date.  Any customary out-of-pocket costs incurred by Purchaser in collection of delinquent rentals shall be deducted by Purchaser prior to the payment to Seller on account of delinquent rentals as provided herein.  Purchaser shall cause the Company to bill tenants for delinquent rentals, but need not initiate legal proceedings.  Seller shall have the right to contact tenants to request payment of delinquent rentals after the Closing Date and institute legal proceedings to collect such delinquent rentals, but shall have no right to evict any tenant.  Any such enforcement or collection efforts by Seller shall be at Seller’s sole expense.
(c)    On the Closing Date, Seller shall either (i) deliver to the Company if not already held by it, in cash, or (ii) receive as a credit against the Purchase Price, an amount equal to all cash security deposits made by tenants occupying the Property which were paid to the Company by such tenants and which shall not have been applied by the Company or otherwise pursuant to the Leases, together with interest owing thereon pursuant to the applicable Lease, if any, and together with a listing (certified as true and correct by Seller) of the tenants to which such deposits and interest are owing.
(d)    All amounts payable, owing or incurred in connection with the Property under the Contracts to be retained by the Company shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.

18

(e)    All utility deposits, if any, may be withdrawn by and refunded to Seller, and Purchaser shall make replacement deposits on behalf of the Company for utilities as may be required by the respective utilities involved.
(f)    All utility charges that are not separately metered to tenants shall be prorated to the Closing Date and Seller shall obtain a final billing therefor and pay any amounts owing therein for the period prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall pay any amounts owing for the period on and after the Closing Date.  To the extent that utility bills cannot be handled in the foregoing manner, they shall be prorated as of the Closing Date based on the most recent bills available and reprorated when such final bills become known.
(g)    Purchaser shall pay all leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs payable with respect to Leases (other than for any Required Lease) approved by Purchaser and entered into after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 19(b) of this Agreement.  If Seller has paid or caused the Company to pay such amounts prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for such payments at Closing.  Seller shall pay all other leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs payable with respect to all other Leases except those referenced in the preceding sentence.
(h)    Seller and Purchaser agree that as soon as reasonably possible after the close of the calendar year of the Closing, the parties shall undertake a final master reconciliation of CAM, taxes and other pass-throughs and additional rent (including without limitation, percentage rent) with respect to the Leases and the Property.  Such reconciliation shall be final.  For purposes hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall each prepare tenant reconciliations for their respective applicable periods of ownership of the Interests.  Purchaser shall transmit such information to the tenants.
(i)    Unless provided otherwise hereinabove, such other items as are customarily prorated in a purchase and sale of the type contemplated hereunder shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(j)    All wages, salaries and benefits of retained Employees, if any, shall be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller.

(k)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13 to the contrary, if any tenant under a Lease is obligated to pay any prorated item directly to the entity imposing same, such portion of the prorated item shall not be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser.  If any item of income or expense set forth in this Section 13 is subject to final adjustment after Closing, then Seller and Purchaser shall make, and each shall be entitled to, an appropriate reproration to each such item promptly when accurate information becomes available, but in any event prior to one (1) year from the date of Closing.  Any such reproration shall be paid promptly in cash to the party entitled thereto.

(l)    All insurance policies and Seller’s property manager’s management agreement and listing agreement (if any) shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and there shall be no proration with respect to these items.

19

(m)    Each of the provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the Closing until the later of (i) one (1) year from the date of Closing or (ii) with respect to real estate taxes three (3) months after the issuance of the final tax bills for the year in which the Closing occurs.
		
	14.
	CLOSING COSTS.

Seller shall pay:  (a) the costs of the Title Policy, including any endorsements or deletions thereto, excepting the costs of any special endorsements required by Purchaser or Purchaser’s lender; (b) the costs of recording any releases required to clear title to the Property pursuant to this Agreement; (c) Seller’s attorneys’ fees; (d) one-half of any transfer or recordation taxes or other charges imposed upon the transfer of the Property or the Interests; and (e) one-half of any escrow fees.  Purchaser shall pay:  (w) the costs of any special endorsements to the Title Policy required by Purchaser or Purchaser’s lender; (x) Purchaser’s attorneys’ fees; (y) one-half of any transfer or recordation taxes or other charges imposed upon the transfer of the Property or the Interests; and (z) one-half of any escrow fees.

		
	15.
	POSSESSION.

Except as provided in Sections 11 or 12 hereof, at Closing, the Company shall have possession of the Property, free and clear of all liens and claims other than those liens and claims permitted pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof.
		
	16.
	DEFAULT; ESCROW.

(a)    If Seller defaults hereunder before Closing in any material respect and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default, or if the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall not be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to either (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Deposit, in which event each of the parties hereto shall be relieved of any further obligation to the other arising by virtue of this Agreement (except for obligations that are expressly intended to survive the termination of this Agreement), or (b) pursue specific performance of this Agreement.  In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to make any claims against Seller nor shall Seller be liable under any representation, warranty, certification, covenant, agreement, obligation or indemnity made hereunder or under any of the Closing Documents or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated herein if such claim is either (i) made prior to the Closing, (ii) is based upon or arises out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement if Purchaser had actual knowledge (for purposes of this Section 16 (a) “actual knowledge” shall be limited to matters of which Purchaser has knowledge based upon receipt of notice from Seller) of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing or (iii) for an amount of less than $50,000 in the aggregate for all such claims (the “Seller’s Threshold Liability”).  Furthermore, in no event shall Seller be liable for any actual, special, punitive, speculative or consequential damages, nor shall Seller’s liability under any representation, warranty, certification, covenant, agreement, proration, reproration, obligation or 

20

indemnity made hereunder or under any of the Closing Documents or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated herein exceed $1,060,000 in the aggregate (the “Seller’s Maximum Liability”), excepting however, that a breach by either Seller of its respective representations relating to such Seller’s title to such Seller’s Interests shall not be limited to the Seller Maximum Liability but shall be limited to such Seller’s portion of the Purchase Price.
(b)    Excepting a breach by either Seller of its respective representations relating to such Seller’s title to such Seller’s Interests, none of Seller’s direct or indirect partners, members, managers, officers, agents or employees shall have any personal liability of any kind or nature or by reason of any matter or thing whatsoever under, in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, the Closing Documents or the transactions contemplated herein.  At Closing, an escrow in the amount of Seller’s Maximum Liability (the “Holdback Amount”) shall be established with the Escrow Agent and such Holdback Amount shall be held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement as security for possible claims by Purchaser against Seller.  Satisfaction of any and all claims by Purchaser against Seller (excepting a breach by either Seller Member of its respective representations relating to such Seller Member’s title to such Seller’s Interests) shall only be satisfied from the Holdback Amount.  Provided that no claims by Purchaser against Seller are then pending, the Holdback Amount (or balance thereof) held by the Escrow Agent at the end of the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be disbursed to Seller.
(c)    If Purchaser defaults hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate and Seller shall retain the Earnest Deposit as liquidated damages in full settlement of all claims against Purchaser (with the exception of claims against Purchaser related to obligations which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement).  The parties agree that the amount of actual damages that Seller would suffer as a result of Purchaser’s default would be extremely difficult to determine and have agreed, after specific negotiation, that the amount of the Earnest Deposit is a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages and is intended to constitute a fixed amount of liquidated damages in lieu of other remedies available to Seller and is not intended to constitute a penalty.  
17.    NOTICES.
Any notice, demand, request or other communication which either party hereto may be required or may desire to give under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if:  (x) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested (effective three (3) business days following the date on which it is deposited in the U.S. Mail); (y) sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (effective one (1) business day after delivery to such courier for overnight service); or (z) sent by electronic mail (effective on the date sent provide it is followed by another permitted means of delivery), in each case addressed in accordance with Section 10 or Section 11 (as applicable) of the Summary Statement or to such other or additional address as either party might designate by written notice to the other party.  Any notice permitted or required to be delivered hereunder may be delivered by the attorney for either party hereto.

21

		
	18.
	BROKERS.

Each of Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any brokers, finders or agents with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby.  Each party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its successors, assigns and agents, from and against the payment of any commission, compensation, loss, damages, costs, and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in connection with, or arising out of, claims for any broker’s, agent’s or finder’s fees of any person claiming by or through such party.  The obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Section 18 shall survive the Closing and the termination of this Agreement.
		
	19.
	LEASING COSTS AND LEASE APPROVAL

(a)    Leasing Costs.
Except as provided in this Section 19, Seller agrees to pay or discharge at or prior to Closing all leasing commissions, costs for tenant improvements, legal fees and other costs and expenses (collectively, “Leasing Costs”) that are due and payable as of the Closing Date with respect to the Required Leases; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to pay, and as of Closing, Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay, all Leasing Costs owed by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of Section 13(g) above for new leases approved by Purchaser under Section 19 (b).
(b)    Lease Approval.

(d)    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State where the Land is located.

The obligations under this Section 21(h) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

23

(i)    This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that the Agreement may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Purchaser and Seller have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, is hereby authorized to file a copy of this section in any proceeding as conclusive evidence 

24

of this waiver by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable.  The provisions of this section 21(n) shall survive the closing or earlier termination of this agreement.

Pursuant to Sections 2(d) and 16(b) of the Purchase Agreement, at closing the Escrow Agent shall retain from the Earnest Deposit cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) One Million Sixty Thousand Dollars ($1,060,00.00) (the “Holdback Amount”) for the purpose of satisfying indemnity claims by Purchaser against Seller plus (ii) such additional cash as may be set forth on the settlement statement signed by Purchaser and Seller at Closing (and if the amount on the settlement statement exceeds the Earnest Deposit less the Holdback Amount, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to retain such excess amount from the cash portion of the Purchase Price deposited by Seller with Escrow Agent at Closing) (the “Credit Amount”); and 
D.    The Escrow Agent is willing to accept the Earnest Deposit and the Credit Amount and to hold, invest, disburse and apply the same in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the benefit of Purchaser and Seller.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements, representations, warranties, provisions and covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.    Appointment of the Escrow Agent.  Purchaser and Seller hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as escrow agent hereunder and to hold the Escrow Fund (as defined herein) in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform all duties which are expressly set forth in this Agreement and to hold, invest, disburse and apply the Escrow Fund (as defined below) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.    Establishment of the Escrow Fund.
(a)    Within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser will deliver or cause to be delivered the Initial Deposit in immediately available funds to the interest-bearing account set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Escrow Account”).  On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser will deliver or cause to be delivered the Additional Deposit in immediately available funds to the Escrow Account.  The Escrow Agent shall promptly acknowledge to Purchaser and Seller in writing the receipt of each of the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit.
(b)    The Earnest Amount, the Holdback Amount and the Credit Amount, as from time to time invested as herein provided, together with all income, dividends and interest, if any, accrued thereon, less any payments or other disbursements pursuant to Section 3, is herein called the “Escrow Fund”.  The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to sell or redeem any such investments as it deems necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Agreement.  
(c)    The Escrow Agent shall invest all amounts held in the Escrow Account in accordance with the instructions set forth on Schedule B.
(d)    Purchaser and Seller acknowledges that the Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility whatsoever for bank failure, bank insolvency, bank holidays or delay in disbursing the Escrow Funds due to bank or governmental regulation, inability of the depository to pay such funds on demand or delay in transfer of funds through the federal wire system, and further acknowledge that Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage applies up to a specified  maximum amount for each individual depositor including all of depositor’s accounts at the same or related institution, and that Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility for, nor will it be held liable for any loss occurring which arises from the fact that the amount of the Escrow Account may cause the aggregate amount of any individual depositor’s accounts to exceed the amount insured by the FDIC. Purchaser and Seller have made their own independent investigation of PNC Bank, 

4

the depositing banking institution which, absent any instructions to the contrary on Exhibit B, will hold the Escrow Fund.
3.    Disbursement.  The Escrow Fund shall be held and disposed of by the Escrow Agent as follows:
(a)    Distribution of the Initial Deposit.
Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of written instructions executed by Purchaser together with a copy of the notice of termination delivered by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to Section 5 (c) of the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse to Purchaser the Initial Deposit (including all net earnings thereon).
(b)    Post-Due Diligence Period Distribution of the Escrow Fund.
After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Escrow Fund shall be distributed by Escrow Agent in accordance with joint written instructions signed by Purchaser and Seller.  For this purpose, Purchaser’s and Seller’s signatures on a settlement statement delivered to Escrow Agent at Closing shall constitute joint written instructions.
(c)    Interpleader.
Upon twenty (20) days written notice to Purchaser and Seller, the Escrow Agent may deposit, by means of an interpleader action or any other appropriate method, with any court of competent jurisdiction, all amounts in the Escrow Fund, for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court.
(d)    Payment to Seller.  Unless otherwise instructed in the joint written instructions, any amounts to be paid, delivered or disbursed to Seller pursuant to this Section 3 shall be paid in equal proportions to NSPG and Arbor.
4.    Duties of the Escrow Agent.
(a)    The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the term of this Agreement, shall hold such Escrow Fund in a trust account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Purchaser or Seller, and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms hereof.  In exercising the rights, duties and obligations prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonable escrow agent would exercise in comparable circumstances.  The duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder are entirely administrative and not discretionary.  Under no circumstances will the Escrow Agent be deemed to be a fiduciary to any party or any other person under this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent is obligated to act only in 

5

accordance with the written instructions received by it as provided in this Agreement, is authorized hereby to comply with any orders, judgments or decrees of any court or arbitration panel and shall not incur any liability as a result of its compliance with such instructions, orders, judgments, or decrees, except as otherwise provided herein.
(b)    The Escrow Agent shall provide Seller and Purchaser with monthly statements showing income and disbursements, if any, of the Escrow Fund.  Each of Purchaser and Seller may examine the Escrow Fund and the records pertaining thereto at any time during normal business hours at the Escrow Agent’s office upon 48 hours prior notice and pursuant to the reasonable regulations of the Escrow Agent.
5.    Limitation of Liability.
(a)    Subject to Section 5(b), the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to Purchaser, Seller or any other party or parties for any losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses which they may suffer or incur by reason of any one or more of the following (absent bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence):
(i)    any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with the terms hereof; or
(ii)    any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any document, believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties duly authorized to do so, including any written instruction or authorization to disburse as provided in this Agreement, all of which writings the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon as to due execution, validity and effectiveness and also as to the truth and accuracy of the information contained therein.
(b)    The Escrow Agent’s liability hereunder shall be limited to any liability resulting from the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(c)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings of any kind and shall not be required to defend any legal proceedings (except for any legal proceedings instituted by the parties hereto to enforce their rights under Section 5(b)).
6.    Indemnification.  Except for acts or omissions of the Escrow Agent which are caused by its bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs or expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, which arise out of or are connected with this Agreement or the appointment of the Escrow Agent hereunder, including any litigation arising out of or involving the 

6

subject matter of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser and Seller agree, solely as among themselves, that any obligation for indemnification under this Section 6 shall be borne by the party or parties determined by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be responsible for causing the loss, claim, damage, liability, judgment, cost or expense against which the Escrow Agent is entitled to indemnification or, if no such determination is made, then Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall each bear fifty percent (50%) of the cost of any indemnification hereunder and each agrees to contribute such amount as may be necessary to give effect to this provision.  The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the replacement, resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.
7.    Compensation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be solely entitled to compensation for its services hereunder as per Schedule C attached hereto, which is made a part hereof, and for reimbursement of its reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses actually paid by the Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and costs of attorneys which it may find necessary to engage in the performance of its duties hereunder, all to be paid one-half (1/2) by Purchaser, on the one hand, and one-half (1/2) by Seller, on the other hand.  Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, agree to promptly reimburse the other for any portion of such fees or expenses paid by such party on behalf of the responsible party or parties hereunder.
8.    Discharge of Escrow Agent.  Purchaser and the Seller may, upon joint written instructions executed by each of Purchaser and Seller, discharge the Escrow Agent and appoint a new escrow agent.  The Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of such instructions and payment of any fees and costs then due, transfer the Escrow Fund in accordance with such instructions, and thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall have no further liability with respect to the Escrow Fund.  If the Escrow Agent at any time is discharged, then a successor Escrow Agent shall be jointly selected by Purchaser and Seller, or if Purchaser and Seller cannot agree, the successor Escrow Agent shall be selected by the existing Escrow Agent.  Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a title insurance company or a national banking association with its principal place of business located in the United States.
9.    Resignation of Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, resign upon not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice to each of Purchaser and Seller, with such resignation effective only upon the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent shall transfer the Escrow Fund, less all fees and expenses to which the Escrow Agent is entitled through the date of resignation, in accordance with such joint written instructions as are executed by Purchaser and Seller after receipt of such notice of resignation and thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall have no further liability with respect to the Escrow Fund.
10.    Assignment; Successors; Binding Effect.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent will not 

7

be unreasonably withheld in the case of a proposed assignment by the Escrow Agent; provided that Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to NewCo; provided further that no such assignment shall release Purchaser from any liability or obligation under this Agreement.  This Agreement shall apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
11.    Certain Tax Matters.  The parties hereto agree that, for United States federal income tax purposes, Purchaser shall be treated as the beneficial owner of the Escrow Fund and shall report all of the interest and other income, if any, that is earned on, or derived from, the Escrow Fund (such interest and other income, the “Escrow Deposit Income”) as income of Purchaser in the taxable year or years in which such income is properly includible and pay any and all taxes attributable thereto.  The Escrow Agent shall report all Escrow Deposit Income on Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 1099 (or any other required information return or form), treating Purchaser as the payee.  On or before the date hereof, Purchaser shall provide the Escrow Agent with its taxpayer identification number by furnishing an appropriate IRS Form W-9 and any other documents as the Escrow Agent reasonably requests.
12.    Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and the other writings referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto which form a part hereof contain the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contemplated hereby and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, with regard to this subject matter.  The Escrow Agent shall be bound only by the terms of this Agreement and shall not be bound by or have any responsibility or incur any liability with respect to any agreement or understanding between Purchaser and Seller regarding the Escrow Fund, including the Purchase Agreement.  This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by all of the parties hereto, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance, and no such waiver will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given.  The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under, or duty to inquire into, the terms and provisions of any other agreement between any of the parties hereto.  If any of the terms and provisions of any other agreement conflict with or are inconsistent with any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement in respect of the Escrow Agent’s rights and duties shall govern and control in all respects.
13.    Usage.  All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require.

SCHEDULE 3(b)

Terms for Issuing Operating Partnership Units

The Purchase Price or net proceeds payable to a Seller shall be payable (i) in cash; or (ii) be paid in a combination of cash and operating partnership units of Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership (“OP Units”).  The amount or number of OP Units will be calculated according to the Limited Partnership Agreement of Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership subject to a floor price of Ten Dollars ($10.00) as follows:  

		
	i.
	Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller will be required to specify the amount of the Purchase Price to be paid in OP Units issued to the Sellers, which amount may be subject to a cap (the “OP Dollar Amount”) and shall provide for a one (1) year lockup;

		
	ii.
	The OP Units shall be issued by the Purchaser (“GPLP”) to the Seller on the effective closing date of the transaction (the “OP Issuance Date”);

		
	iii.
	The number of OP Units to be issued shall equal the quotient (rounded to the nearest whole number) arrived at by dividing (x) the OP Dollar Amount, by (y) the “Current Per Share Market Price”, as that term is defined by the GPLP Partnership Agreement, which defines that term as the average of the closing price for common shares of Glimcher Realty Trust (“GRT”) for the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the date that the OP Units are issued;

		
	iv.
	In the event that the Current Per Share Market Price is less than Ten Dollars ($10.00), Purchaser shall give written notice to Seller that Purchaser is either (v) willing proceed to Close and issue OP Units for all or a portion of the Purchase Price or (w) unwilling to issue OP Units for any portion of the Purchase Price.  If Purchaser notifies Seller that Purchaser is unwilling to issue OP Units for any portion of the Purchase Price due to the Current Per Share Market Price being less than Ten Dollars ($10.00), the Seller shall then have the option to elect, by written notice to Purchaser, to either: (x) Close the transaction with the Purchase Price being paid all in cash; (y) Close the transaction with the Purchase Price being paid in a combination of cash and OP Units but, with the portion of the Purchase Price being paid in OP Units being discounted to reflect issuance of OP Units calculated at or based on the Ten Dollar ($10.00) floor price; or (z) to terminate the Purchase Agreement in which event Purchaser shall receive a refund of the Earnest Deposit and neither of the parties hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations that are set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement specifically, or that survive the termination of this Agreement or termination of the Access Agreement.

		
	v.
	Pursuant to the terms of the GPLP Partnership Agreement, the holder of any OP Units may cause GPLP to redeem the OP Units, and such redemption shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of the GPLP, be paid in the form of either (1) cash; (2) common shares of GRT stock; or (3) any combination of cash and common shares of GRT stock.  Redemption of such OP Units shall also be subject to the following restrictions:  (x) OP Units may not be redeemed for a period of one (1) year from the OP Issuance Date; and, (y) GRT common stock that is issued for OP Units may not be publicly traded or sold until registered, with the recipient being responsible for all costs of registration; 

		
	vi.
	Prior to the issuance of any OP Units, a Seller receiving any such OP Units will be required to execute and deliver a letter of investment representation to GPLP, which letter shall be in the form then used by the GPLP for such purposes (sample attached as Exhibit A to Schedule 3(b)).

EXHIBIT A TO SCHEDULE 3(b)

LETTER OF INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION 

This Letter of Investment Representation is delivered pursuant to Section ___ of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of _____, 20__ (the Membership Purchase Agreement”), entered into by Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership (“GPLP”) and the undersigned (“Purchaser”) in connection with Purchaser’s acquisition of limited partnership units of GPLP (the “Securities”).

In connection with the acquisition of such Securities, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to GPLP as follows:

1.  Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Securities and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the Federal securities laws and by the terms of the GPLP Limited Partnership Agreement, dated as of November 30, 1993, as thereby amended from time to time (as amended, the “Limited Partnership Agreement”), and by reason of Purchaser’s financial and business experience (either alone or together with any representatives), has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Purchaser is financially able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.

2.  Purchaser has received and reviewed all information Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities including, without limitation, the information referenced on Exhibit A hereto.  Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from GPLP regarding the terms and conditions of the acquisition of the Securities and regarding the business, financial affairs and other aspects of GPLP and Glimcher Realty Trust (“GRT”), and has further had the opportunity to obtain any information (to the extent GPLP and GRT possess or can acquire such information without unreasonable effort or expense) which Purchaser deems necessary to evaluate the investment and to verify the accuracy of information otherwise provided to Purchaser.  Purchaser has received complete and satisfactory answers to all questions.

3.  Purchaser is relying on its own independent analysis and assessment (including with respect to taxes), and the advice of Purchaser’s advisors (including tax advisors), and not upon that of GPLP or any GPLP affiliate, for purposes of evaluating, entering into and consummating the acquisition of the Securities or the transactions contemplated by the Membership Purchase Agreement.  Neither GPLP nor any of its agents nor anyone purporting to act on their behalf have made any representation to Purchaser with respect to any tax or economic benefits to be derived from an investment in the Securities.

4.  Purchaser acknowledges that ownership of the Securities is an illiquid investment and that it must bear the economic risk of ownership for an indefinite period of time.  Purchaser further acknowledges that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in reliance, in part, on the representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in this document, and Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.  Such Securities are being acquired by Purchaser for investment purposes only for Purchaser’s own account and not for resale or with a view to the distribution of all or any part of such Securities.  No other person will have any direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Securities.

5.  Purchaser understands that the Securities are and will be “restricted securities” under Federal and state securities laws in that such Securities will be acquired from GPLP in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that such Securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in compliance with the Act and understands the resale limitations imposed by the Act and is familiar with the applicable securities laws and regulations, as presently in effect, and the conditions which must be met for resale of “restricted securities.”  Purchaser further acknowledges that its ability to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities may be further restricted by certain provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement.

6.  Purchaser understands that the certificates evidencing the Securities will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH OPINION AND COUNSEL ARE TO BE SATISFACTORY TO GLIMCHER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (THE “PARTNERSHIP”) OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE PARTNERSHIP THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT.”

7.  Purchaser is, for purposes of the application of state securities laws, a resident of the State so indicated on the signature page to this Letter of Investment Representation.

8.  Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.  Specifically, Purchaser is (check appropriate item(s)):

NINTH AMENDMENT TO
MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

This Ninth Amendment to Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (this “Amendment”) is dated this 18th day of December, 2013 by and among NSPG-ANN ARBOR LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“NSPG”), ARBOR RETAIL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Arbor” and NSPG and Arbor, collectively, “Seller” or “Companies”), AHC ANN ARBOR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AHC”) and GLIMCHER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Purchaser”).
WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser entered into that certain Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated August 22, 2013, as amended to date (the “Agreement”).
WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser desire to amend the Agreement as more particularly set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:
1.Plan of Merger.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the purchase and sale of the Interests owned by NSPG contemplated therein will be effectuated as a merger of NSPG into AHC in accordance with the following Plan of Merger:
(a)At the Effective Time (as defined herein), NSPG shall be merged with and into AHC (the “Merger”) in accordance with the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (“DLLCA”) and the Illinois Limited Liability Company Act (“ILLCA”), whereupon the separate existence of NSPG shall cease, and AHC shall be the surviving entity in the Merger (the “Surviving Entity”) and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the separate existence of AHC, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, restrictions, obligations, liabilities, disabilities and duties, shall continue unaffected by the Merger except as set forth herein.  The Merger shall have the effects specified in the DLLCA and the ILLCA.
(b)In the event that this Amendment and the Merger contemplated herein shall have been fully approved and adopted on behalf of AHC and NSPG in accordance with the DLLCA and the ILLCA, as applicable, upon Closing, AHC and NSPG will file a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois, and make all other filings or recordings required by any other applicable law in connection with the Merger.  The Merger shall become effective at the time the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at any later time as specified in the certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).  

1

(c)NSPG shall be deemed to have contributed all of its assets to AHC in exchange for Purchaser’s payment of NSPG’s share of the Purchase Price.  At Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the cash and OP Units otherwise due to NSPG pursuant to a schedule of recipients provided by NSPG, at the bank or other addresses (or where applicable, wire transfer instructions) specified in such schedule.
(d)The certificate of formation of the Surviving Entity in effect at the Effective Time shall be the certificate of formation of the Surviving Entity until amended in accordance with applicable law.  The limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Entity in effect at the Effective Time shall be the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Entity until amended in accordance with its terms and conditions.  The officers of the Surviving Entity immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Entity immediately after the Effective Time.
(e)Sections 10(a)(i) and 10(b)(i) of the Agreement are hereby amended to reflect that in addition to these deliveries, the certificate of merger referenced in Section 2(b) above shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the articles of merger referenced in Section 2(b) above shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois.
(f)For avoidance of doubt, the parties to the Merger are NSPG-Ann Arbor LLC and AHC Ann Arbor, LLC, and the Surviving Entity is AHC Ann Arbor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with its principal place of business located at 180 East Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215.
(g)To induce Purchaser to accept this Section 1 as an amendment of the Agreement, NSPG hereby agrees that the representations made in Sections 8(a)(xi) and 8(a)(xii) with respect to the Company shall also apply to NSPG.
(h)At Purchaser’s written request given to all applicable parties at least one (1) business day prior to Closing, Purchaser may request that the Interests owned by any party other than NSPG be assigned to AHC.
(i)Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that AHC is its wholly owned limited liability company subsidiary and that it will treat AHC as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. Purchaser further represents and agrees that it will not transfer any interests in AHC to any other person or entity as part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that it has no present intention to transfer interests therein to any other person or entity.
2.Holdback Amount and Escrow Agreement.  

2

(a)Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any portion of the Purchase Price will be paid to Seller in OP Units pursuant to Schedule 3(b) of the Agreement, the Holdback Amount to be escrowed with Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 16(b) of the Agreement and Recital C and Section 2 of the Escrow Agreement shall be comprised of cash and OP Units in the same ratio that the Purchase Price is comprised of cash and OP Units (the “Escrow Ratio”).  Solely to illustrate how the makeup of the Holdback Amount is to be determined hereunder, (i) if 50% of the Purchase Price will be paid in cash and 50% of the Purchase Price will be paid in OP Units, then 50% of the Holdback Amount will be escrowed with Escrow Agent in cash and 50% of the Holdback Amount will be escrowed with Escrow Agent in OP Units, and (ii) if 75% of the Purchase Price will be paid in cash and 25% of the Purchase Price will be paid in OP Units, then 75% of the Holdback Amount will be escrowed with Escrow Agent in cash and 25% of the Holdback Amount will be escrowed with Escrow Agent in OP Units.  Escrow Agent is authorized to withhold from the Earnest Deposit or the Purchase Price deposited by Seller with Escrow Agent such amounts of cash and OP Units as needed to comprise the Holdback Amount as set forth herein, with the ratio of cash and OP Units in accordance with the Escrow Ratio.  As of Closing, any portion of the Earnest Deposit held by Escrow Agent in excess of the amount needed to satisfy the cash portion of the Holdback Amount required to be escrowed hereunder shall be credited to Seller.
The OP Units escrowed in accordance with Section 2(a) above (and which may be used in satisfaction of any indemnity claims pursuant to Section 2(c) below), if any, shall be valued on a per-unit basis as of the Closing Date at the same exchange rate forth in Schedule 3(b) of the Agreement used to determine the number and value of OP Units attributable to the Purchase Price.  In such event, the amount deposited with the Escrow Agent shall be promptly disbursed to Purchaser.  In the event that the Holdback Amount is utilized to satisfy any indemnity claims against Seller in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, the claim shall be paid in cash and OP Units as follows:
		
	(i)
	First, cash shall be disbursed from the escrow in accordance with the Escrow Ratio;

		
	(ii)
	Second, the holders of OP Units shall have the option to either (1) have the OP Units held in escrow be disbursed from the escrow in an aggregate amount equal to the portion of the claims remaining unpaid after disbursement of the cash pursuant to (i) above (the “Unpaid Portion of the Claim”), but in such case the OP Units will be valued in accordance with Schedule 3(b), item (iii) of the Agreement, except that the “OP Dollar Amount” shall be the Unpaid Portion of the Claim and the “Current Per Share Market Price” shall be the average of the closing price for common shares of GRT for the five consecutive trading days prior to the date that the OP Units are disbursed to Purchaser to satisfy the Unpaid Portion of the Claim; or (2) deposit the Unpaid Portion of the Claim in immediately available funds with the Escrow Agent, 

3

in which event the number of OP Units equal to the amount of such deposit, but with such OP Units valued on a per-unit basis as of the date of payment at the same exchange rate set forth in Schedule 3(b) of the Agreement used to determine the number and value of OP Units attributable to the Purchase Price.  The procedure set forth in this (ii) for paying the Unpaid Portion of the Claim with either OP Units or cash may be utilized by the holders of the OP Units on an individual basis or as a group; and
		
	(iii)
	Third, to the extent the value of the OP Units (as determined pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) is insufficient to cover the Unpaid Portion of the Claim (the “OP Unit Deficiency”), the holders of OP Units shall deposit the OP Unit Deficiency in immediately available funds with Escrow Agent.

(b)Except as specifically modified herein, all of Escrow Agent’s obligations with respect to holding and disbursing the Holdback Amount shall continue in full force and effect.
3.Redemption of OP Units; Registration Rights.  

(a)On or before the first anniversary of the Closing (the “Anniversary Date”), the Partnership shall (i) cause the Trust to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on a one-time basis for the benefit of all Holders, (A) a registration statement or an amendment to a previously-filed registration statement (as applicable, the “Registration Statement”), or (B) a prospectus supplement to an existing effective shelf registration statement, in either case registering the resale of all of the common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (the “Shares”) that may be issuable pursuant to Section 17 of the Partnership Agreement to any Limited Partner that received OP Units pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (each, a “Holder”), (ii) in the event a Registration Statement is filed, use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective prior to the Anniversary Date, (iii) notify the Holders as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective or, upon the filing of a prospectus supplement to an existing shelf registration statement, and simultaneously provide the Holders with copies of any related prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the Shares covered thereby, and (iv) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and any prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection therewith and perform such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to keep the Registration Statement (or another registration statement that registers the resale of the Shares) continuously effective as to the Common Shares until the Termination Date (as defined below). As used herein, “Termination Date” means the earlier of (A) the date on which all of the Shares have been sold, (B) the date on which all of the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, without volume or other restrictions.  The Trust, and not the Partnership, shall pay the cash or stock 

4

consideration to the Exercising Partner.  In connection with the registration of the shares described in this Section 3, the Holders shall be responsible for paying one-half of the legal fees and other third party costs and expenses related to the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, or prospectus supplement to an existing effective shelf registration statement, up to $20,000 (so that the Holders’ maximum liability shall be one-half of that amount, or $10,000); and in the event that a Holder does not pay its pro rata share of such expenses (based upon the number of OP Units issued to the Holders) within ten (10) days of request, the Partnership and the Trust are hereby authorized to offset such unpaid amount by reducing the Holder’s share of OP Units to reflect the unpaid amount.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trust shall have the right to postpone the filing of a Registration Statement or prospectus supplement as described herein at such time as the Company in its good faith judgment may reasonably determine is necessary and advisable, to require the Holders not to sell pursuant to a Registration Statement or prospectus supplement or to suspend the use or effectiveness thereof if at the time of the delivery of such notice (i) the Trust intends to conduct an underwritten public offering (excluding the Trust’s at-the-market equity offering program) during such time when the Registration Statement or prospectus supplement relating to the registration for resale of the Shares would occur, (ii) the Trust has determined that the use of any Registration Statement, prospectus supplement or similar document would require the disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would impede the Company’s ability to consummate a significant transaction, and that the Company is not otherwise required by applicable securities laws or regulations to disclose.  The Company, as soon as practicable, shall (i) give the Holders prompt written notice in the event that the Company has suspended sales of Shares pursuant to this section, and (ii) give the Holders prompt written notice of the termination of such suspension of sales of the Shares, and (iii) promptly file any amendment or reports necessary for any Registration Statement or prospectus supplement of the Holders in connection with the completion of such event.  Each Holder agrees by acquisition of the Shares that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in this section, such Holder will forthwith discontinue its disposition of Shares Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement relating to such Shares until such Holder’s receipt of the notice of completion of such event.

4.Lockup Period.  Purchaser agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Property, or permit any subsidiary to sell or otherwise dispose of the Property, in a taxable transaction for a period of at least one (1) year following the Closing.
5.Retention of Interests in the Company.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to Section 3(c) of the Agreement, each of NSPG and Arbor will distribute as part of the 

5

Merger and as consideration therefrom a five percent (5%) interest in the Company to CR Washtenaw LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“CR”) and a 2.39% interest in the Company to JLMS, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“JLMS”) (the “Retained Interests”).  In such event, the following shall occur:
(a)At Closing, AHC, CR and JLMS shall enter into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit X.
(b)The portion of the Purchase Price attributable to the Retained Interests (including any prorations relating thereto) shall be retained by Purchaser and not paid to CR or JLMS.
6.Miscellaneous.
(a)    Except as specifically modified hereby, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed as amended by this Amendment.
(b)    This Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns under the Agreement.
(c)    All capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment shall have the same meaning ascribed to those terms in the Agreement or the Purchaser’s Limited Partnership Agreement, as applicable.
(d)    In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall govern and control.
(e)    This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which may be deemed an original, and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.  This Amendment may be executed by facsimile signature and the same shall be considered an original document.
