B. Purchaser is the only other member (collectively, the "Members" and individually, a "Member") of the Company. The Company's Members entered into a certain Amended and Restated Operating Agreement dated as of August 31, 2000, which agreement was amended pursuant to an amendment dated March 31, 2003 (collectively, the "Operating Agreement"). The Operating Agreement has not been subsequently amended, and that document is the only document evidencing the Sellers' ownership of the Interests and there are no other documents of whatever nature or kind relating to the Members' rights and responsibilities as Members in the Company. C. The Purchaser desires to purchase and the Sellers desire to sell, the Sellers' 60.7143% Interests as Members in the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows. 1. Purchase and Sale of Membership Interest. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Sellers, and the Sellers agree to sell to the Purchaser, the Interests in the Company for the price and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The transfer (the "Transfer") of the Interests in the Company shall be completed by each Seller's execution of an Assignment of Membership Agreement (the "Assignment Agreement"), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Transfer shall be effective upon the Closing Date (as that term is defined in Section 3(a) below). 2. Purchase Price. The total purchase price (the "Purchase Price") to be paid by the Purchaser for the Interests shall equal Forty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($46,500,000.00) payable according to the terms set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. The Purchase Price allocated to each of the Sellers shall be determined by multiplying each Seller's respective Percentage Interest set forth in Recital A of this Agreement by the amount of the Purchase Price. 3. Payment Terms. The payment of the Purchase Price shall be paid as follows: a. Cash Payment. Simultaneously with the closing and funding (the "Closing" or the "Closing Date") of the purchase and sale of the Interests, the portion of the Purchase Price not paid in the form of limited partnership units in the Purchaser ("OP Units") pursuant to subsection 3(b) below, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Sellers in immediately available federal funds. The cash portion of the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the dollar amount of the OP Units issued to the Sellers pursuant to Section 3(b) below. Prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall provide the Purchaser with wire transfer instructions so that the total Purchase Price allocated to each of the Sellers as set forth above in Section 2 are wire transferred to the respective Seller. b. OP Units. The Sellers shall have the right to receive a portion of the Purchase Price by causing the Purchaser to issue OP Units to the Sellers, if the Sellers serve written notice (the "OP Notice") to the Purchaser by December 1, 2003, and subject to the following terms and conditions: 2 i. The OP Notice shall specify the amount of the Purchase Price to be paid in OP Units issued to the Sellers, (the "Agreed OP Cap"), which amount shall in no event exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00); ii. The OP Notice shall be signed by all the Sellers and shall specify which of the Sellers shall receive OP Units and the percentage of OP Units allocated among each of the Sellers; iii. The OP Units shall be issued by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchaser's limited partnership agreement (the "GPLP Partnership Agreement") and the date of contribution for the OP Units and their date of issuance shall be January 5, 2004 (the "OP Issuance Date"); iv. The number of OP Units to be issued shall equal the quotient (rounded to the nearest whole number) arrived at by dividing (i) the Agreed OP Cap, by (ii) 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 Glimcher Realty Trust ("GRT") for the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the date that the OP Units are issued; v. Pursuant to the terms of the GPLP Partnership Agreement, the holder of any OP Units may cause the Purchaser to redeem the OP Units, and such redemption shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Purchaser, be paid in the form of either (1) cash; (2) common shares of GRT stock; or (3) any combination of cash and 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; (y) in each of the twelve (12) month periods commencing on the first anniversary of the OP Issuance Date, no more than the Annual Redemption Limit Amount (as that term is defined in subsection 3(vii) below), of the total number of issued OP Units held by all of the Sellers in the aggregate may be redeemed in such period; and, (z) GRT 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; provided, however, a recipient of stock shall have the right to join in (piggyback) with any new registration of GRT stock so long as such recipient shall pay prior to the registration a prorata share for such registration based upon the ratio of the number of shares registered by such recipient bears to the total number of shares being registered. vi. Prior to the issuance of any OP Units, each of the Sellers receiving any such OP Units shall execute and deliver a letter of investment representation to the Purchaser, which letter shall be in the form then used by the Purchaser for such purposes. 3 vii. For purposes of this Agreement, the Annual Redemption Limit Amount shall be the product of (i) the aggregate number of all OP Units issued under the terms of Section 3(b) of this Agreement, multiplied by (ii) a fraction having as its numerator Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000.00), and having as its denominator the greater of (A) Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000.00) or (B) the Agreed OP Cap. The OP Units shall be redeemed during any twelve (12) month period in the order in which the holders of such OP Units deliver redemption exercise notices to the Purchaser during the respective twelve (12) month period, in accordance with the GPLP Partnership Agreement. 4. Agreement Relating to Polaris Fashion Place Ring Road. The Company owns one hundred percent (100%) of PFP Columbus, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Mall Owner"). The Mall Owner owns the regional shopping center ("Center") known as Polaris Fashion Place situated in Delaware County, Ohio. The Center was legally formed pursuant to a certain Operating and Reciprocal Easement Agreement, as amended ("REA"), which was recorded with the Delaware County Recorder's Office. Attached to the REA is a certain plot plan (the "Plot Plan"), which shows the location of a certain Ring Road ("Ring Road") and related access roads (the "Access Roads"). Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall cause the Mall Owner to execute and deliver, and NP agrees to execute and deliver, the agreement (the "Ring Road Agreement") relating to curb cuts on the Ring Road and the Access Road that is set forth on Exhibit B attached to this Agreement. 5. Transfer of the Interests after the Effective Date. After the Effective Date of this Agreement, none of the Sellers shall transfer directly or indirectly all or any part of their respective Interests in the Company, even if those transfers are permitted by the terms of the Operating Agreement. 6. Contingencies to Closing. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser also entered into an agreement (the "Polaris Center Purchase Agreement") to purchase 100% of the membership interests owned by N.P. in Polaris Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Polaris Center"). It is the parties' intentions and requirement that the Closing of this Agreement occur simultaneously with the closing of the Purchaser's acquisition of all of N.P.'s limited liability interests (the "Polaris Center Interests") in Polaris Center, and it shall be a condition precedent to this Agreement that N.P., in consideration for payment to it as required under the Polaris Center Agreement, transfer all of N.P.'s Polaris Center Interests to Purchaser under the terms of the Polaris Center Agreement, simultaneously with the Closing of this Agreement. 7. Closing.
