Exhibit 4.14

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

Issued Pursuant to the

Glimcher Realty Trust

Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), effective ____________________ (the “Effective Date”), represents the grant of restricted stock (“Stock”) by Glimcher Realty Trust (the “Company”), to ___________ (the “Participant”) pursuant to the terms, provisions and definitions of the Glimcher Realty Trust Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan adopted by its Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on or about March 15, 2004 (the “Plan”), initially approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 7, 2004 and, with respect to certain amendments and other matters, again on May 11, 2007. Stock granted hereby is intended to be restricted and shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.

The Plan provides a complete description of the terms and conditions governing the Stock. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the Plan’s provisions shall completely supersede and replace the inconsistent or conflicting provisions of this Agreement. All capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan, unless specifically set forth otherwise herein. The parties hereto agree as follows:

1. General Stock Grant Information. The individual named above has been selected to be a Participant in the Plan and receive shares of Stock, as specified below (the “Shares”):

a. Date of Grant: ________________________________

b. Number of Shares Granted: ____________________

c. Type of Shares Granted:________________________

d. Price Per Share on the Date of Grant: $________

e. Latest Vesting Date: ______________

2. Grant of Stock. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the Shares set forth above, at the stated per share price (which is one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value (defined herein) of a Share on the Date of Grant) in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Executive Compensation Committee has determined that the “Fair Market Value” of a Share on the Date of Grant is equal to the closing market price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the Date of Grant.

3. Restrictions

a. Transfer Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4, the Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, at any time prior to the periods and in accordance with the lapsing schedule set forth below in Section 3(c). No sale, transfer, pledge, assignment, alienation or hypothecation of the Shares in violation of this Section 3(a), whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be valid as to any person, assignee or transferee with respect to any interest in the Shares whatsoever. The Participant shall continue to be treated as the owner of the Shares for purposes of this Agreement and shall continue to be bound by all of the terms and provisions hereof. The restrictions set out in this Section 3(a) are referred to in this Agreement as the “Transfer Restrictions.”

1

b. Employee Forfeiture Restrictions. Upon the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, for any reason, all Shares that are not the Vested Shares (as defined below) held by the Participant, or any guardian or legal representative, at the effective date of such termination, shall immediately be returned to and canceled by the Company and shall be deemed to have been forfeited by the Participant (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”); provided that the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, allow the Participant to retain the Shares for a period of time after such termination date to be specified in writing by the Executive Compensation Committee.

c. Lapse of Employee Forfeiture and Transfer Restrictions. To the extent the Participant remains in the continuous employment of the Company through the Vesting Date specified below, the Forfeiture Restrictions under Section 3(b) and Transfer Restrictions under Section 3(a) hereof shall lapse as follows:

Vesting Date	Percentage of Shares for which Forfeiture and Transfer Restrictions Shall have Lapsed
Third Annual Anniversary of Date of Grant	33%
Fourth Annual Anniversary of Date of Grant	66%
Fifth Annual Anniversary of Date of Grant	100%

To the extent the Forfeiture Restrictions and Transfer Restrictions shall have lapsed under this Section 3(c) with respect to the Shares, those Shares (the “Vested Shares”) will, effective on and after the Vesting Date, thereafter be free of the Forfeiture Restrictions set forth in Section 3(b) and Transfer Restrictions under Section 3(a) hereof, but such Vested Shares will continue to be subject to all of the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement as applicable. Any Shares for which the Forfeiture Restrictions and Transfer Restrictions have not yet lapsed in accordance with this Section 3(c) hereof shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be considered (“Non-Vested Shares”).

4. Administration. This Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Executive Compensation Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the Executive Compensation Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant. Any inconsistency between the Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan.

5. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon grant such number of shares of Stock as shall be required for issuance or delivery upon the grant of the Shares hereunder.

6. Adjustments. The Shares subject to this Agreement shall also be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Plan.

7. Exclusion from Pension Computations. By acceptance of the grant pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant hereby agrees that any income or gain realized upon the receipt of the Stock hereof, upon the disposition of the Shares received, or upon the lapse of the restrictions pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, is special incentive compensation and shall not be taken into account, to the extent provided under the applicable plan documents and to the extent permissible under applicable law, as “wages,” “salary,” or “compensation” in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, incentive, profit sharing, bonus or deferred compensation plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

8. Amendment. The Executive Compensation Committee may, with the consent of the Participant, at any time or from time to time amend the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement, and may at any time or from time to time amend the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the Plan and applicable law.

9. Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give to the other shall be in writing, and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier, addressed as follows: if to the Company, at its office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇: General Counsel, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or at such other address as the Company by notice to the Participant may designate in writing from time to time; and if to the Participant, at the address shown below his or her signature on this Agreement, or at such other address as the Participant by notice to the Company may designate in writing from time to time. Notices shall be effective upon receipt.

10. Withholding Taxes. The Company shall have the right to withhold from a Participant, or otherwise require such Participant to pay, any Withholding Taxes (defined below) arising as a result of the grant of any Shares, the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions or Transfer Restrictions on any Shares, the transfer of any Shares, any tax election by the Participant, or any other taxable event. If the Participant shall fail to make such Withholding Tax payments when and as required, the Company (or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such Withholding Taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such Withholding Taxes. If the Participant makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code concerning a Restricted Share Award then the Participant shall submit a copy of such election to the Company. In satisfaction of the requirement to pay Withholding Taxes, the Participant may make a written election which may be accepted or rejected in the discretion of the Executive Compensation Committee, to tender other Shares to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation, in the sole discretion of the Executive Compensation Committee, provided that, except as otherwise determined by the Executive Compensation Committee, the Shares that are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to their tender to satisfy the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or have been purchased on the open market), having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Withholding Taxes. “Withholding Taxes” means any federal, state, or local income, employment, payroll, or similar tax related to the Shares that are required to be withheld by the Company.

11. Registration; Legend. The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of Shares under this Agreement until (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or exchanges on which Stock of the Company of the same class are then listed and (b) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable. The Participant shall make such representations and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company, in light of the then existence or non-existence with respect to such Shares of an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to issue the Shares in compliance with the provisions of that or any comparable act. The Company may cause the following or a similar legend to be set forth on each certificate representing the Stock granted hereunder unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such certificate that such legend is unnecessary:
