With respect to each such affected Lender, the Borrower shall, effective on or before the date that such Qualified Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (A) notify the Administrative Agent and such affected Lender that the Commitment of such Lender shall be assigned to another Lender pursuant to Section 12.3 or terminated; provided that such affected Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and

accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower or the relevant Qualified Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a “Qualified Borrower” hereunder.

     5. Section 2.19 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Section 2.19:

Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Agreement to the contrary, solely for purposes of calculating any financial covenant required hereunder, such calculation shall ignore the application of the Convertible Debt Accounting Guidance, if and to the extent otherwise applicable to Borrower’s financial statements. If at any time any material change in GAAP would materially affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (which shall not be unreasonably withheld)); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to

such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an explanation of the impact of such change in reasonable detail satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

     7. Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Section 3.1:

          (i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Loans, or

          (ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Fixed Rate Borrowings), or

          (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its Fixed Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Fixed Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Fixed Rate Loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender as the case may be,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Fixed Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return receivable by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, in connection with such Fixed Rate Loans, Commitment or participations therein, then, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount receivable. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional

amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 3.1, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

The Borrower has no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.1 or as set forth in written notices to the Administrative Agent given from time to time after October 20, 2010 on or about the date such material contingent obligations are incurred.

     11. Schedule 3 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule 3 attached hereto.

     12. The introductory paragraph in Article VI of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by inserting “and until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments,” after “During the term of this Agreement” in such paragraph.

     13. Section 6.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following language at the end of clause (iii): “and an asset schedule listing all consolidated assets and their net operating income with a breakdown between Unencumbered Assets and other assets, and Acquisition Assets.”

     Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1(i), (ii), (iii), (vii) or (viii) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Borrower

posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on the Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed in Article XIII; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such request by a Lender for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents.

     The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”

     15. Section 6.11 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Section 6.11:

     6.11 Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, declare or make, or agree to pay or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, except (a) the Borrower may declare and pay dividends with respect to its Capital Stock payable solely in additional shares of its common stock, (b) Subsidiaries may declare and pay dividends ratably with respect to their Capital Stock, (c) the Borrower may make Restricted Payments pursuant to and in accordance with stock option plans or other benefit plans for management or employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and (d) the Borrower may make Restricted Payments if there is no then existing Default or Unmatured Default (after notice thereof to Borrower), no Default or Unmatured Default would occur after giving effect to such Restricted Payment and Restricted Payments paid on account of any period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters, in the aggregate, would not exceed 95% of Funds From Operations for such period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower or any

Subsidiary shall be permitted at all times to distribute whatever amount of dividends is necessary to maintain its tax status as a real estate investment trust.

     “(iv) Investments consisting of intercompany loans and advances made by a Subsidiary to DDR, provided, however, that any such intercompany loans and advances shall be subject to written documentation reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, a subordination agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent which subordinates such intercompany loans and advances to the Obligations);”

     17. Section 6.18 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Section 6.18:

     6.18 Indebtedness, Cash Flow and Collateral Covenants. The Borrower on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries shall not permit, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter:

          (i) the sum of (x) Consolidated Outstanding Indebtedness minus (y) the amount of restricted cash and Cash Equivalents held as collateral or in escrow in a bank account by a lender, creditor, or counterparty (“Restricted Cash Collateral”) with respect to any Consolidated Outstanding Indebtedness to exceed sixty percent (60%) of Consolidated Market Value;

          (ii) the sum of (x) Consolidated Secured Indebtedness minus (y) Restricted Cash Collateral with respect to Consolidated Secured Indebtedness to exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of Consolidated Market Value;

          (ix) the aggregate Secured Facility Net Operating Income of the Subject Properties for the prior twelve (12) months to be less than 1.35 times the Implied Debt Service of the Borrower and the Subject Property Owners for such period;

          (x) the Value of Subject Properties consisting of Pledged Distribution Properties and Pledged Equity Properties to be less than seventy percent (70%) of the aggregate Value of Subject Properties for all Subject Properties;

     18. Article VII of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Sections 7.17 and 7.18 at the end of such Article:

     7.17 The Borrower or any other Loan Party shall disavow, revoke or terminate (or attempt to terminate) any Loan Document to which it is a party or shall otherwise challenge or contest in any action, suit or proceeding in any court or before any Governmental Authority the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other

Loan Document, or this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall cease to be in full force and effect (except as a result of the express terms thereof).

     7.18 A Change of Control shall occur.

     19. Section 9.7 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new paragraph at the end of such Section:

     To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower and its Affiliates shall not assert and hereby waive any claim against each Lender and its respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort, or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

     20. Section 9.9 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Section 9.9:

     21. Section 12.2.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Section 12.2.1:

In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

     22. Section 12.3.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Section 12.3.1:

     12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to any of such Lender’s Affiliates or to another Lender or an Approved Fund, or with the prior approval of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), any other entity (“Purchasers”) all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, provided that (a) no assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 3.5 arising from events prior to the date of the assignment than the amount to which such assignor would have been entitled to receive had no assignment occurred, and such assignee is able to deliver the Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI referenced in Section 3.5(iv) hereof, (b) no assignments may be made to the Borrower or its Affiliates and (c) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no approval of the Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Default has occurred and is then continuing. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliated Qualified Institution. Such consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that any foreclosure or similar action by such pledgee or assignee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.3.1 concerning assignments; and provided, further that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     23. Section 12.6 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the word “, agents” immediately after the word “attorneys” in clause (5) thereof.

amended by this Amendment (and after giving effect to the $200,000,000 prepayment of the Loans by Borrower being made in connection with this Amendment), notwithstanding the fact that the effective date of such modified financial covenants and such $200,000,000 prepayment of the Loans occurs after the date of such reporting period.

     26. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:

          (a) no Default or Unmatured Default exists;

          (b) the Loan Documents are in full force and effect and Borrower has no defenses or offsets to, or claims or counterclaims relating to, its obligations under the Loan Documents;

This Amendment shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law). This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors, successors-in-title and assigns as provided in the Loan Agreement.

     29. This Amendment shall become effective when (i) this Amendment has been executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, (ii) the Administrative Agent has confirmed receipt of an optional $200,000,000 prepayment of the Loans by Borrower, and (iii) the Administrative Agent has received and approved the Proforma Compliance Certificate for the period ended June 30, 2010 (but subject to the provisions of Section 25 hereof and subject to other customary and reasonable adjustments to reflect transactions that occurred between June 30, 2010 and the date of this Amendment).

Schedule 3

Litigation and Guarantee Obligations

Coventry:

Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), is a party to various joint ventures with Coventry Real Estate Fund II, L.L.C. and Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C., which funds are advised and managed by, Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C., (collectively, the “Coventry II Fund”) through which 11 existing or proposed retail properties, along with a portfolio of former Service Merchandise locations, were acquired at various times from 2003 through 2006. The properties were acquired by the joint ventures as value-add investments, with major renovation and/or ground-up development contemplated for many of the properties. The Company is generally responsible for day-to-day management of the retail properties. On November 4, 2009, Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C., Coventry Real Estate Fund II, L.L.C. and Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C. (collectively, “Coventry”) filed suit against the Company and certain of its affiliates and officers in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The complaint alleges that the Company: (i) breached contractual obligations under a co-investment agreement and various joint venture limited liability company agreements, project development agreements and management and leasing agreements, (ii) breached its fiduciary duties as a member of various limited liability companies, (iii) fraudulently induced the plaintiffs to enter into certain agreements and (iv) made certain material misrepresentations. The complaint also requests that a general release made by Coventry in favor of the Company in connection with one of the joint venture properties should be voided on the grounds of economic duress. The complaint seeks compensatory and consequential damages in an amount not less than $500 million as well as punitive damages. In response, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint or, in the alternative, to sever the plaintiffs’ claims. In June 2010, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion. Coventry has filed a notice of appeal regarding that portion of the motion granted by the court.

The Company believes that the allegations in the lawsuit are without merit and that it has strong defenses against this lawsuit. The Company will vigorously defend itself against the allegations contained in the complaint. This lawsuit is subject to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process and, therefore, no assurance can be given as to its ultimate outcome. However, based on the information presently available to the Company, the Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On November 18, 2009, the Company filed a complaint against Coventry in the Court of Common Pleas, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, seeking, among other things, a temporary restraining order enjoining Coventry from terminating “for cause” the management agreements between the Company and the various joint ventures because the Company believes that requisite conduct in a “for-cause” termination (i.e., fraud or willful misconduct committed by an executive of the Company at the level of at least senior vice president) did not occur. The court heard testimony in support of the Company’s motion (and Coventry’s opposition) and on December 4, 2009 issued a ruling in the Company’s favor. Specifically, the court issued a temporary restraining order enjoining Coventry from terminating the Company as property manager “for cause.” The court found that the Company was likely to succeed on the merits,

that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage would result to the Company in the absence of such restraint, and that the balance of equities favored injunctive relief in the Company’s favor. A trial on the Company’s request for a permanent injunction is currently scheduled in January 2011. The temporary restraining order will remain in effect until the trial. Due to the inherent uncertainties of the litigation process, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this action.

Long Beach:

The Company is also a party to litigation filed in November 2006 by a tenant in a Company property located in Long Beach, California. The tenant filed suit against the Company and certain affiliates, claiming the Company and its affiliates failed to provide adequate valet parking at the property pursuant to the terms of the lease with the tenant. After a six-week trial, the jury returned a verdict in October 2008, finding the Company liable for compensatory damages in the amount of approximately $7.8 million. In addition, the trial court awarded the tenant attorney’s fees and expenses in the amount of approximately $1.5 million. The Company filed motions for a new trial and for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, both of which were denied. The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict, as well as the denial of the post-trial motions. As a result, the Company appealed the verdict. In July 2010, the Court of Appeals entered an order affirming the jury verdict. The Company is currently reviewing its options with regard to any further opportunities to appeal the verdict.
