ARTICLE II

THE CREDIT

2.1 Commitments; Increase in Aggregate Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders severally and not jointly agree to make an Advance through the Administrative Agent to Borrower on the Agreement Execution Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment. The Advance may be a ratable Floating Rate Advance or ratable Fixed Rate Advances. Each Lender shall fund its Percentage of such Advance and no Lender will be required to fund any amounts in excess of such Lender’s then-current Commitment.

DDR shall give Administrative Agent thirty (30) days prior notice of its intention to have a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of DDR designated as a Qualified Borrower (other than DDR PR Ventures LLC, S.E.). Following receipt of such a notice, Administrative Agent agrees to promptly notify the Lenders of Borrower’s intention to have such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of DDR designated as an additional Qualified Borrower. As a condition to such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of DDR (other than DDR PR Ventures LLC, S.E.) becoming a Qualified Borrower, DDR shall have obtained Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. As a condition to any Advance to a Qualified Borrower (including DDR PR Ventures LLC, S.E.), (a) such Qualified Borrower shall have executed and delivered a Qualified Borrower Note to Administrative Agent for the benefit of each of the Lenders, (b) DDR shall have executed and delivered a Qualified Borrower Guaranty relating to amounts to be borrowed by such Qualified Borrower, and (c) Administrative Agent shall have received the items specified in Schedule 5 attached hereto with respect to such Qualified Borrower. If a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of DDR is approved by Administrative Agent as a Qualified Borrower and such Subsidiary satisfies the foregoing conditions, this Agreement shall be deemed modified such that at any place where the term “Borrower” currently appears, such provision shall be modified to also include and apply to any such Qualified Borrower, as the context may require, and any reference to a “Note” shall include and apply to any Qualified Borrower Note, as the context may require.

A Qualified Borrower shall have the right to request Advances, subject to all of the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Borrower, provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the maximum amount of Advances that each such Qualified Borrower may request, such maximum amount to be reflected on Schedule 6 to this Agreement.

If DDR shall designate as a Qualified Borrower hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or Puerto Rico, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and DDR, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Qualified Borrower (and such Lender shall, to the extent of Advances made to such Qualified Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Advances and participations to such Affiliate) provided that either such Affiliate is a permitted assignee pursuant to Section 12.3 or such Lender is not released from its funding obligations if such Affiliate fails to fund.

-27-

The Aggregate Commitment may be increased from time to time by the addition of a new Lender or the increase of the Commitment of an existing Lender with the consent of only the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the new or existing Lender providing such additional Commitment so long as the Aggregate Commitment does not exceed $400,000,000. Any such increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall be conditioned upon the contemporaneous addition of Potential Properties as Subject Properties in accordance with Section 2A.2 and upon satisfaction of the requirements for additional Advances pursuant to Section 2.9 and 4.2. Such increases shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Amendment Regarding Increase in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new Lender or existing Lender providing such additional Commitment (the “Increase Notice”), a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof. The amount of the requested increase shall be set forth in the Increase Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no increase in the Aggregate Commitment may occur after the date which is thirty-six (36) months following the Agreement Execution Date, and (ii) each such increase shall not be less than $25,000,000. On the effective date of each such increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall cause the new or existing Lenders providing such increase to hold its or their Percentage of all ratable Advances outstanding at the close of business on such day, by either funding more than its or their Percentage of new ratable Advances made on such date or purchasing shares of outstanding ratable Loans held by the other Lenders or a combination thereof. The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of outstanding ratable Advances to achieve such result. Borrower agrees to pay all fees associated with the increase in the Aggregate Commitment including any amounts due under Section 3.4 in connection with any reallocation of LIBOR Advances.

Additionally, each such Commitment increase shall be further conditioned upon satisfaction of the following:

(a) On the date such Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Aggregate Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Unmatured Default; and

(b) The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Aggregate Commitment is increased, both immediately before and after the Aggregate Commitment is increased; and

(c) The Borrower shall also execute and deliver to Administrative Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Administrative Agent may require in its reasonable discretion, including, without limitation, replacement Notes, any amendments to the Loan Documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, and a Compliance Certificate demonstrating compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) and (ix) and representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after

-28-

giving effect to the increase, and the Borrower shall upon demand pay the cost of any updated UCC searches, all recording costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary or transfer taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are demanded in connection with such increase.

2.2 Final Principal Payment and Extension of Maturity Date. Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Maturity Date. Provided no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the initial Maturity Date for two (2) successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each to (x) the Payment Date occurring in June 28, 2009, and (y) the Payment Date occurring in June 28, 2010, respectively, by submitting a request for an extension to the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Request”) no more than 90 and no fewer than 30 days prior to the then applicable Maturity Date and, as to each Extension Option, upon payment to Lender of all reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with such extension, whether the extension actually occurs or not. Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the Extension Request. It shall be an additional condition precedent to each extension of the Maturity Date pursuant hereto that (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, on or before the then applicable Maturity Date a fee equal to 0.15% of the Aggregate Commitment and (b) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate demonstrating compliance with all covenants set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) and (ix) and representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to such extension.

2.3 Ratable and Nonratable Loans. Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Percentages except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1 with respect to an increase in the Aggregate Commitment.

2.4 Applicable Margins. Each of the ABR Applicable Margin and the LIBOR Applicable Margin to be used in calculating the interest rate applicable to different Types of Advances shall vary from time to time in accordance with the higher of Borrower’s then applicable Moody’s debt rating and S&P’s debt rating unless one of such two ratings is more than one rating category lower than the other, in which case the average of the two different Applicable Margins shall be used. The Applicable Margins shall be adjusted effective on the next Business Day following any change in Borrower’s Moody’s debt rating and/or S&P’s debt rating, as the case may be. The applicable debt ratings and the Applicable Margins are set forth in the following table:

-29-


		LIBOR			ABR
		Applicable			Applicable
S&P Rating	Moody’s Rating	Margin			Margin
A- or higher	A3 or higher		0.60	%		0.15	%
BBB+	Baa1		0.75	%		0.15	%
BBB	Baa2		0.85	%		0.175	%
BBB-	Baa3		1.00	%		0.20	%
Less than BBB-	Less than Baa3		1.40	%		0.50	%

In the event that either S&P or Moody’s shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry or the Borrower, the Borrower may seek a debt rating from another substitute rating agency reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. For the period from the date of such discontinuance until the first to occur of (i) the date the Borrower receives a debt rating from such new rating agency or (ii) a date 180 days after such discontinuance, the single rating from S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, shall be used to determine the Applicable Margin. If the debt rating of the Borrower from such new rating agency is not received within such 180 day period, or if both S&P and Moody’s shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry or the Borrower, the Applicable Margin to be used for the calculation of interest on Advances hereunder shall be the highest Applicable Margin for each Type.

If a rating agency downgrade or discontinuance results in an increase in the ABR Applicable Margin or the LIBOR Applicable Margin and if such increase is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, at Borrower’s request, Borrower shall receive a credit against interest next due the Lenders equal to interest accrued at the differential between such Applicable Margins accruing from time to time during such period of downgrade or discontinuance.

If a rating agency upgrade results in decrease in the ABR Applicable Margin or the LIBOR Applicable Margin and if such upgrade is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, Borrower shall be required to pay an amount to the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Advances during such period of upgrade.

2.5 Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Administrative Agent’s own account, an Administrative Agent’s fee as set forth in the Agreement Regarding Fees. The Administrative Agent’s fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof. The Administrative Agent’s fee shall also be paid upon the Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent’s fee for any partial calendar quarter shall be prorated.

2.6 Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay all fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees.

2.7 [Intentionally Omitted.]

-30-

2.8 Optional Principal Payments. The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all or any part of outstanding Floating Rate Advances without prior notice to the Administrative Agent. A Fixed Rate Advance may be paid on the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, if and only if the Borrower pays any amounts due to the Lenders under Sections 3.4 and 3.5 as a result of such prepayment, on a day prior to such last day. Any Advances prepaid may not be reborrowed.

2.9 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Fixed Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) (i) not later than 8:00 a.m. Cleveland time on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, and (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. Cleveland time, at least three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance, specifying:

(i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance,

(iii) the Type of Advance selected, and

(iv) in the case of each Fixed Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to the Lenders by facsimile of each Borrowing Notice and each Conversion/Continuation Notice not later than the close of business on the Business Day it is received (except for a Borrowing Notice for a Floating Rate Advance on the same day, Administrative Agent shall provide the notice to the other Lenders by 9:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on such day.) Each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available in Cleveland to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII on each Borrowing Date not later than (i) 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time), in the case of Floating Rate Advances which have been requested by a Borrowing Notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Borrowing Date, or (ii) noon (Cleveland time) in the case of all other Advances. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

No Interest Period may end after the Maturity Date and, unless the Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than ten (10) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Advances outstanding at any one time.

2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Fixed Rate Advances. Each Fixed Rate Advance of any Type shall continue as a Fixed Rate Advance of such Type until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Fixed Rate Advance shall automatically convert into a Fixed Rate Advance with a LIBOR Interest Period of one month, until the Borrower provides the Administrative Agent

-31-

with a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Fixed Rate Advance either continue as a Fixed Rate Advance of such Type for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an Advance of another Type. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any Fixed Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and any conversion of an Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof). The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance to a Fixed Rate Advance or continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance (other than with respect to an automatic conversion as set forth above) not later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least one Business Day, or three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into a LIBOR Advance or continuation of a LIBOR Advance having an Interest Period of other than one month, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(i) the requested date which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;

(ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and

(iii) the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance having a LIBOR Interest Period other than one month, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.11 Changes in Interest Rate, Etc. Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a Fixed Rate Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Fixed Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Fixed Rate Advance.

2.12 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the

-32-

rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate otherwise applicable to the Floating Rate Advance plus 2% per annum.

2.13 Method of Payment.

(i) All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (Cleveland time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders.

(ii) As provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders’ interests in the Advances and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders’ interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with KeyBank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

2.14 Notes; Telephonic Notices. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under such Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Authorized Officer. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

2.15 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Interest shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on

-33-

an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.16 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent (or such earlier time as is required by Section 2.9). The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.17 Lending Installations. Subject to Section 3.6, each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.18 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrower.

2.19 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5, or (b) cannot maintain its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation pursuant to Section 3.3, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default or (after notice thereof to Borrower) no Unmatured Default shall have

-34-

occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Sections 3.4 and 3.6 if any Fixed Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5 and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(i) to the payment of all reasonable costs incurred in the collection of such moneys of which the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Borrower;

(ii) to the reimbursement of any yield protection due to any of the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.1;

(v) any other sums due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and

(vi) to the payment of any sums due to each Defaulting Lender as their respective Percentages appear (provided that Administrative Agent shall have the right to set-off against such sums any amounts due from such Defaulting Lender).

2.25 Usury. This Agreement and each Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of

-35-

being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

ARTICLE IIA

COLLATERAL SECURITY; RESTRICTED INTERESTS.

2A.1 Collateral. The obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be secured by (i) a perfected first priority lien or security title and security interest to be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Collateral, and (ii) such additional collateral, if any, as the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders from time to time may accept as security for the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (a) with the consent of the Required Lenders, which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Required Lenders, or (b) which is added pursuant to Section 2A.2 or Section 2A.3. The obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall also be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranties.

2A.2 Substitution or Addition of Restricted Interests. Provided no Default or Unmatured Default (other than a Default under Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix) which is being cured as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2A.2 and/or Section 2A.3) shall have occurred hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2A.2 and/or Section 2A.3), the Borrower from time to time may include certain Potential Properties owned by Borrower or Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of Borrower or JDN as additional Subject Properties for the purpose of replacing existing Subject Properties or providing additional Subject Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Potential Properties shall be included as additional Subject Properties unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

(a) Borrower shall have indicated to Administrative Agent in writing whether such proposed Potential Properties are intended to be Pledged Equity Properties, Pledged Distribution Properties or Negative Pledge Properties, provided, however, that such Potential Property shall only be included as a Negative Pledge Property to the extent that the applicable Subject Property Loan Documents prohibit such Potential Property from becoming a Pledged Equity Property or a Pledged Distributions Property, and further provided, that such Potential Property shall only be included as a Pledged Distributions

-36-

Property to the extent that the applicable Subject Property Loan Documents prohibit such Potential Property from becoming a Pledged Equity Property;

(b) such Potential Properties shall qualify as Subject Properties;

(c) the Potential Property shall be owned, directly or indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) by Borrower or a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Borrower or JDN and Borrower or a wholly owned Subsidiary of Borrower shall have (i) total control over all decisions regarding the Potential Property (other than with respect to a Potential Property owned by JDN) (including the operation, financing and disposition thereof) or (ii) the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management and policies of the entities to which such Potential Property relates, whether through the ownership of voting securities, ownership interests, by contract or otherwise, with respect to Potential Property owned directly or indirectly by JDN;

(d) Administrative Agent shall have received and approved (i) the organizational structure and organizational documents for the direct and indirect owners of such Potential Property and (ii) the operating statements with respect to such Potential Property;

(e) there shall be no security interests in, liens on, or other encumbrances affecting such Potential Property or the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ direct and indirect interests therein except security interests, liens and encumbrances expressly permitted under Section 6.16, and there shall be no restriction or prohibition on the pledge, assignment and/or transfer of the applicable Pledged Interests, including, without limitation, under the applicable Subject Property Loan Documents;

(f) solely with respect to Potential Properties intended to constitute Pledged Interests Properties, each of the representations set forth in the Assignment of Interests to be executed pursuant to (g) below and in Section 5.21 of this Agreement shall be true and correct;

(g) solely with respect to Potential Properties intended to constitute Pledged Properties, Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary of Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent all instruments, documents, or agreements, including an Assignment of Interests in substantially the same form as the Assignment of Interests delivered to Administrative Agent on the date hereof (with such changes as Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable with respect to Potential Properties constituting Distributions Interests Properties), a Subsidiary Guaranty in substantially the same form as the applicable Subsidiary Guaranty delivered to Administrative Agent on the date hereof, Acknowledgments in substantially the same form as the Acknowledgments delivered to Administrative Agent on the date hereof and Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and membership, partnership and stock certificates and blank transfer powers, as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain and perfect a first priority security interest in, or lien on,

-37-

the interests related to such Potential Property which are intended to constitute Pledged Interests;

(h) with respect to Potential Properties intended to constitute (i) Pledged Equity Properties pursuant to which the Pledged Equity Interests being pledged consist of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Capital Stock of such Assignor and (ii) Negative Pledge Properties (to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Subject Property loan Documents), DDR shall have delivered to Administrative Agent an Account Agreement and a Springing Instruction Letter in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and other documents, as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain and perfect a first priority security interest in, or lien on, the Pledged Equity Funds related to such Potential Property;

(i) with respect to Potential Properties intended to constitute Pledged Distributions Properties, the applicable Subject Property Owner shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Account Agreement and an Instruction Letter in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and other documents, as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain and perfect a first priority security interest in, or lien on, the Excess Funds related to such Potential Property;

(j) prior to or contemporaneously with such addition or substitution, the Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate demonstrating that after giving effect to such addition or substitution, no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist with respect to Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix) (and Administrative Agent shall promptly forward a copy of such Compliance Certificate to the Lenders);

(k) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have received any certificates, opinions or other information or documentation with respect to the applicable Potential Property and related proposed Pledged Interest(s) (if any) as the Administrative Agent, shall deem reasonably necessary or desirable; and

(l) after giving effect to the inclusion of such Potential Properties as Subject Properties, the Borrower shall be in compliance with all covenants contained herein and in the other Loan Documents.

If all of the foregoing conditions precedent shall have been satisfied, each such Potential Property shall be deemed a Subject Property and a Pledged Equity Property, Pledged Distributions Property or Negative Pledge Property (consistent with Borrower’s designation pursuant to clause (a) above), and Administrative Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1, Schedule 1.2 and Schedule 1.3, as applicable, to give effect to such addition and/or substitution and the Lenders shall be deemed, without taking any action, to have waived any violation of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.21(vii), (viii) and (ix) that Borrower cures by means of the inclusion of such Potential Properties as Subject Properties.

-38-

2A.3 Cash Collateral Account. In the event that (a) the Borrower desires to sell or refinance a Subject Property and such sale or refinance would result in a Default or Unmatured Default under Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix) hereunder immediately after giving effect to such sale or refinance, (b) Borrower desires to cure a Default or Unmatured Default under Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix) hereunder, or (c) Borrower desires to replace a Subject Property with cash collateral, Borrower may establish with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a “cash collateral” account of the Borrower (“Cash Collateral Account”) into which Borrower may elect to deposit cash to be included in the calculation of Borrower’s compliance with Sections 6.21(vii), (viii) and (ix) hereof. The Borrower hereby grants a security interest in the Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time (the “Cash Collateral”) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders to secure the Obligations. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, such further documents and instruments as Administrative Agent may request to evidence the creation and perfection of such security interest in the Cash Collateral Account and the Cash Collateral (including, without limitation, a Cash Collateral Account Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent). Only the Administrative Agent shall have access to the Cash Collateral Account and the Cash Collateral. If all of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied, the Cash Collateral shall be included as Collateral hereunder and the Lenders shall be deemed to have waived any violation of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix) that Borrower cures by means of the inclusion of such Cash Collateral as Collateral hereunder. So long as there does not exist a continuing Default, to the extent that all or a portion of the Cash Collateral deposited in the Cash Collateral Account is not needed to maintain the Borrower’s compliance with Sections 6.21(vii), (viii) and (ix) hereof, the Borrower may request in writing that Administrative Agent return the portion of such Cash Collateral not required to maintain such compliance with Sections 6.21(vii), (viii) and (ix) (the “Excess Cash Collateral”). Administrative Agent shall promptly return the Excess Cash Collateral to Borrower upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request and Administrative Agent’s agreement with the calculations set forth therein. Upon the occurrence of a Default (and during the continuance thereof), at the direction of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may declare a portion of the principal balance of the Loans equal to any amounts then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account to be due and payable without demand. Such amounts shall be withdrawn from the Cash Collateral Account by the Administrative Agent and shall be applied to the Obligations. Additionally, in the event that Borrower has not replaced any such Cash Collateral deposited in the Cash Collateral Account by adding Potential Properties as additional Subject Properties in accordance with Section 2A.2 within ninety (90) days after the deposit of such Cash Collateral in the Cash Collateral Account, Administrative Agent may withdraw such Cash Collateral from the Cash Collateral Account and apply such funds to the Obligations.

2A.4 Sale of a Subject Property. Provided no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2A.4 and transactions simultaneously occurring under Section 2A.2 and/or 2A.3, if any), a Subject Property Owner may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise convey a Subject Property (or the Borrower or a Subsidiary may sell, transfer or convey the direct or indirect interests in such Subject Property Owner) or enter into a Joint Venture pursuant to which Borrower no longer owns directly or indirectly 100% of the interests in a Subject Property Owner (or at least 98.5% with respect to a Subject Property Owner directly or indirectly owned by JDN), provided that

-39-

such sale, transfer, conveyance or consummation of such a Joint Venture shall be upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice of the desire to consummate each such sale, transfer, conveyance or Joint Venture on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which each such sale, transfer, conveyance or Joint Venture is to be effected;

(b) On or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such sale, transfer or conveyance or the consummation of such Joint Venture, the Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate demonstrating that after giving effect to (i) such sale, transfer or conveyance or Joint Venture and (ii) the prepayment described in (c) below or the deposit of the cash collateral with Administrative Agent described in (c) below, if any, no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist with respect to Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix); and

(c) To the extent required to remain in compliance with Borrower’s covenant set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix) the Borrower shall, on or before such sale, transfer or conveyance or the consummation of such Joint Venture, either (a) provide additional Subject Properties pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2A.2 necessary to remain in compliance with Borrower’s covenant set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix), (b) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, which payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, a release price for such Property in an amount necessary to remain in compliance with Borrower’s covenant set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix) or (c) deposit with Administrative Agent cash collateral in accordance with Section 2A.3 in an amount necessary to remain in compliance with Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) and (ix). Such payments shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to make a payment which would reduce the principal balance below zero.

After giving effect to such sale, transfer or conveyance or Joint Venture, the underlying Project that was the subject of such sale, transfer or conveyance or Joint Venture shall no longer be a Subject Property, and Administrative Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1, Schedule 1.2 and Schedule 1.3, as applicable to give effect to such sale, transfer, conveyance or Joint Venture.

2A5. Release of Pledged Interest. Provided no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2A.5), the Administrative Agent shall release a Pledged Interest from the lien or security title of the Security Documents encumbering the same, subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice of the desire to obtain such release on or before the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which each such release is to be effected;

-40-

(b) On or before the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such release, the Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate demonstrating that after giving effect to (i) such release and (ii) the prepayment described in (c) below or the deposit of the cash collateral with Administrative Agent described in (c) below, if any, no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist with respect to Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix); and

(c) To the extent required to remain in compliance with Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix) the Borrower shall, simultaneously with or prior to such release, either (a) provide additional Subject Properties pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2A.2 necessary to remain in compliance with Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix), (b) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, which payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, a release price for such Property in an amount necessary to remain in compliance with Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) or (ix) or (c) deposit with Administrative Agent cash collateral in accordance with Section 2A.3 in an amount necessary to remain in compliance with Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 6.21(vii), (viii) and (ix). Such payments shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to make a payment which would reduce the principal balance below zero.

After giving effect to such release, the underlying Project that was the subject of such release shall no longer be a Subject Property, and Administrative Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1, Schedule 1.2 and Schedule 1.3, as applicable to give effect to such release.

ARTICLE III

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1 Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(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 Advances), or

-41-

(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 30 days of demand by such Lender, 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.

3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 30 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, the Loans or its obligation to make Loans, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any Fixed Rate Advances of the affected Type to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in good faith determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making a Fixed Rate Advance of such Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever

-42-

the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination. If the Borrower is required to so repay a Fixed Rate Advance, the Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a ratable Fixed Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable Fixed Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the ratable Fixed Rate Advance, and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor. Without limitation of any losses arising from changes in the Fixed Rate adverse to the Lenders, in no event will the administrative cost payable by the Borrower as a result of such early payment or failure to make an advance exceed $250 per occurrence per Lender.

3.5 Taxes.

(i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(ii) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”).

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.

-43-

(iv) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.

(vi) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation.

(vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or

-44-

for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to such liability.

3.6 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Fixed Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

5.1 Existence. DDR is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Ohio, with its principal place of business in Beachwood, Ohio and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, properly licensed (if required), in good standing and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed and in good standing and to have the requisite authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Qualified Borrower is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its state of organization, properly licensed (if required) in good standing, and has requisite authority to conduct its businesses in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted except where the failure to be qualified, licensed and in good standing and to have the requisite authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Borrower’s Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.

5.2 Authorization and Validity. The Borrower and the Assignors have the corporate power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to perform their respective obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Assignors of the Loan Documents and the performance of their respective obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and the Assignors enforceable against the Borrower and the Assignors, respectively, in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

5.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower or the Assignors of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule,

-48-

regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement, operating agreement or other organizational documents, or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, except where such violation, conflict or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement except those in favor of the Administrative Agent under the Security Documents. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents other than the filing of a copy of this Agreement, or the filing of information concerning this Agreement, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

5.4 Financial Statements; Material Adverse Change. All consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries heretofore or hereafter delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the preparation date of such statements and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal and customary year-end adjustments. From the preparation date of the most recent financial statements delivered to the Lenders through the Agreement Execution Date, there was no change in the business, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Collateral and the Subject Properties which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No tax liens have been filed and remain outstanding (i) with respect to any of the Collateral Properties or (ii) for amounts in excess of $250,000 with respect to Projects other than the Collateral Properties. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

5.6 Litigation and Guarantee Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto or as set forth in written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Collateral or the Subject Properties which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the disclosure of the litigation identified on Schedule 3 or in a notice to Administrative Agent, unless such disclosure has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower, based on consultation with its counsel, represents that the Borrower is unlikely to suffer any material adverse result in such litigation. The Borrower has no material

The shares of each corporate Pledged Entity held by an Assignor are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are owned free and clear of any Liens. The interest of each Assignor in each non-corporate Pledged Entity is owned free and clear of any Liens.

All factual information heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is, and all other such factual information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, to the knowledge of Borrower, true and accurate (taken as a whole) on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in light of the circumstances and purposes for which such information was provided at such time.

5.10 Regulation U. The Borrower has not used the proceeds of any Advance to buy or carry any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) in violation of the terms of this Agreement.

5.19 Environmental Matters. Each of the following representations and warranties is true and correct on and as of the Agreement Execution Date except to the extent that the facts and circumstances giving rise to any such failure to be so true and correct, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make the Loans shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make the Loan hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon if the Required Lenders elected to accelerate (i) the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives and (ii) if any automatic or optional acceleration has occurred, the Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required

Lenders shall use its good faith efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by the Borrower and any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Loan Documents (or if no such direction is given within 30 days after a request for direction, the Administrative Agent may proceed to exercise such rights and remedies as the Administrative Agent may deem in the best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion, to collect such amounts).

If, after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII and the right of the Borrower, solely with the agreement of the Administrative Agent and such new banks or existing Lenders as may provide new or increased Commitments, to increase the Aggregate Commitment as described in Section 2.1 above, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided however, that no such supplemental agreement or waiver shall, without the consent in writing of all Lenders affected thereby:

(i) Extend the Maturity Date (other than in accordance with Section 2.2) or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or accrued interest thereon, reduce the Applicable Margins (or modify any definition herein which would have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margins) or the underlying interest rate options or extend the time of payment of any such principal or interest.

(ii) Release any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor that is no longer an Assignor pursuant to Section 2A.2, 2A.3 or 2A.4) from the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other future guarantor (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor that has liquidated all of its assets and applied all of the proceeds of such liquidation in accordance with its organizational documents) from any liability it may undertake with respect to the Obligations.

(iii) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders.

(iv) Increase the Aggregate Commitment beyond $400,000,000 or increase the Commitment of any Lender.

(v) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.

8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

9.11 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other, shall be solely that of borrower and lender.

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment. KeyBank is hereby appointed Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. The Administrative Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent” it is understood and agreed that Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender or by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall administer this Agreement in the same manner and with the same standard of care as it administers similar agreements for its own account.

-71-

10.2 Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent.

10.3 General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith or in connection with the Collateral except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ii) any determination by the Administrative Agent that compliance with any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, order, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) requires the Advances and Commitments hereunder to be classified as being part of a “highly leveraged transaction”. The foregoing shall not limit the liability of the Administrative Agent for a breach of its express obligations and undertakings to the Lenders hereunder which continues after written notice to the Administrative Agent of such breach and its failure to cure such breach within a reasonable time after such notice.

10.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent shall make available promptly after the Agreement Execution Date to any Lender copies of all Loan Documents in its possession which are requested by any such Lender. Administrative Agent shall also furnish to all Lenders promptly after such items are available in final form copies of Default notices issued to the Borrower, amendments to any Loan Documents being proposed by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, financial statements of the Borrower required hereunder, compliance certificates from the Borrower required by this Agreement or any other notice or communication from the Borrower specifically relating to this Agreement which is actually received by the Administrative Agent. Promptly after the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Default hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Lenders.

10.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in so acting, or refraining

-72-

from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such written instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes and on the Administrative Agent.

10.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.

10.8 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents (and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to so reimburse), (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrower and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of the Administrative Agent’s express obligations and undertakings to the Lenders which is not cured after written notice and within the period described in Section 10.3. To the extent any amounts so paid by Lenders are thereafter recovered by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise, such recovered amount shall be remitted to the Lenders making such payment on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective portions of such payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.9 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally

-73-

engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender but if the Administrative Agent is no longer a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall resign and a successor shall be appointed as described in Section 10.11. The rights and duties of the Administrative Agent are separate from its rights and duties as a Lender and no transfer of all or any part of the Administrative Agent’s Commitment or its interest as a Lender in the Loans hereunder shall be deemed to transfer any of its rights and duties as Administrative Agent to its successor or successors as a Lender.

10.10 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.11 Successor Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise provided below, KeyBank shall serve as Administrative Agent at all times during the term of the Loans. KeyBank may resign as Administrative Agent in the event (x) KeyBank and Borrower shall mutually agree in writing or (y) a Default shall occur and be continuing under the Loan Documents, or (z) KeyBank shall determine, in its sole reasonable discretion, that because of its other banking relationships with Borrower and/or Borrower’s Affiliates at the time of such decision KeyBank’s resignation as Administrative Agent would be necessary in order to avoid creating an appearance of impropriety on the part of KeyBank. KeyBank (or any successor Administrative Agent) may be removed as Administrative Agent by written notice received by Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders at any time with cause (i.e., a breach by KeyBank (or any successor Administrative Agent) of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder) or for gross negligence or willful misconduct. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning or removed Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign or its receipt of notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall, prior to the effective date of its resignation, appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan

-74-

Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, subject to the limitations contained in such Article X.

10.12 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and (iii) if the Loan Documents otherwise permit such release; and

(b) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Subsidiary Guaranty if (i) such Person ceases to be an Assignor as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, or (ii) if the Loan Documents otherwise permit such release.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.12.

ARTICLE XI

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.

11.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the

-75-

benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section 12.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Administrative Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

12.2 Participations.

12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. 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.

12.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan or Commitment or postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled

-76-

payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan or Commitment or releases any Subsidiary from a Subsidiary Guaranty.

12.2.3 Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each Participant which has previously advised the Borrower in writing of its purchase of a participation in a Lender’s interest in its Loans shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant, provided that such Lender and Participant may not each setoff amounts against the same portion of the Obligations, so as to collect the same amount from the Borrower twice. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

12.3 Assignments.

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 one or more banks, financial institutions or pension funds, or with the prior approval of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any other entity (“Purchasers”) all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. 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 or a Lender. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent, such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000, unless such assignee is acquiring all of the assigning Lender’s Commitment.

12.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “I” to Exhibit D hereto (a “Notice of Assignment”), together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee by the assignor or assignee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to

-77-

the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender, and the transferor Lender shall automatically be released on the effective date of such assignment, with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

12.3.3 Resignation by Administrative Agent. In the event that any Lender acting as Administrative Agent or any successor Lender acting as Administrative Agent shall at any time hold a Commitment of less than ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Commitment, then such Administrative Agent shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Required Lenders shall have the right, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days of delivery of such notice by such Administrative Agent, to elect to remove such Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent and replace such Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, subject to the terms of Section 10.11 of this Agreement.

12.4 Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, subject to Section 12.6.

12.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5.

12.6 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and Lenders agree to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to them by the Borrower or by any other Person on the Borrower’s behalf in connection with the Loan Documents and agree and undertake that neither they nor any of their Affiliates shall disclose any such information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms contemplated by the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose such information (1) at the request of any regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders or in connection with an examination of such Person by any such authority, (2) pursuant to subpoena or other process of a court having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, (3) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable law, (4) at the express direction of any other governmental authority, with jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, of any State of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction in which such Person conducts its business, (5) to such Person’s independent auditors, attorneys and other professional advisors, (6) if such information has become public other than through disclosure by

-78-

such Person or any Lender, (7) in connection with any litigation involving such Person, and (8) to any Affiliate of such Person which agrees to be bound by this Section 12.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to disclose to any prospective or actual Transferee such financial and other information in its possession (i) which has been delivered to such Person pursuant to the Loan Documents or which has been delivered to such Person by the Borrower prior to entering into the Loan Documents, or (ii) which is reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and the Loan Documents; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower, such Transferee shall agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent required to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, hereunder.

12.7 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. Any Lender may request additional information with respect to any Qualified Borrower in connection with such Lender’s “Know your customer” procedures.

12.8 Co-Agents: Lead Managers. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “documentation agent,” “syndication agent,” “managing agent”, “co-agent” or “joint arranger/joint book manager” shall have the right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Lenders so identified as a “documentation agent,” “syndication agent, “managing agent”, “co-agent” or “joint arranger/joint book manager” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

FORM OF OPINION

June 29, 2005

KeyBank National Association
127 Public Square
8^th Floor
Cleveland, OH 44114


		Re: Secured Term Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated as of June 29, 2005, among Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“DDR”), DDR PR Ventures LLC, S.E., a Delaware limited liability company (“Qualified Borrower”), KeyBank National Association and the other banks, financial institutions and other entities party to the Loan Agreement (“Lenders”), and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Qualified Borrower, DDR and each entity identified on Exhibit A (each such entity, together with the Qualified Borrower and DDR, collectively, the “Borrower Parties” and each, a “Borrower Party”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(vi) of the Loan Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined only executed counterparts (unless otherwise noted) of the documents listed on Exhibit B (the “Loan Documents”) and the documents described on Exhibit C (the “Entity Documents”). We have also reviewed such statutes in the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware (the “DE LLC Act”), the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DE Corporation Law”), the Delaware Securities Act (“DE Securities Act”), the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Delaware, as compiled in the Commerce Clearing House, Inc. Secured Transactions Reporter (as updated through May 12, 2005) (the “Delaware UCC”), the Delaware Limited Partnership Act (the “DE LP Act”) and such statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions of the States of Ohio and of the United States of America as we deem necessary to render this opinion. We draw your attention to the fact that the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Alabama (the “Alabama UCC”) applies to the opinion rendered in paragraph 17 and the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Maryland (the “Maryland UCC”) applies to the opinions rendered in paragraph 18, but, with your consent, we are

KeyBank National Association
Page 5
June 29, 2005

rendering these opinions as if the Alabama UCC and the Maryland UCC were identical to the Delaware UCC.

We have, with your consent, relied upon the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents as to matters of fact (other than facts constituting conclusions of law). We also have relied on statements of fact (other than facts constituting conclusions of law) set forth in the Officer’s Certificate of even date herewith executed by an authorized representative of DDR, Qualified Borrower and each Assignor, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Officer’s Certificate”).

We call your attention to the fact that certain Borrower Parties are entities that are formed in States other than the State of Ohio or the State of Delaware. With your consent, we are delivering our opinions with respect to these entities as if they were formed in the State of Ohio and the laws of the State of Ohio govern such entities.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, with your consent, without independent verification or investigation:

A. the legal capacity of natural persons, the absence of fraud, misrepresentation, duress and mistake, the genuineness of all signatures on documents submitted to us (other than signatures of the Borrower Parties), the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of such documents;

B. that each of the Loan Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto other than the Borrower Parties and is enforceable against each such party other than the Borrower Parties in accordance with its terms;

C. That an advance has been made by the Lenders under the Loan Agreement;

D. That the Loans will provide a direct or indirect benefit to each of the Assignors and to DDR; and

E. That the proceeds of the Loans will not be used primarily for personal, family or household purposes.

With your consent, except as set forth on Exhibit C and except for the Officer’s Certificate, we have neither examined nor requested an examination of the indices or records of any court or governmental or other agency, authority, instrumentality or entity (other than the Borrower Parties to the extent described in this opinion), nor have we made inquiry of any person or entity for purposes of this opinion. In addition, with your consent, we have not independently verified or investigated the accuracy or completeness of any factual information and, because the scope of our examination did not include such verification, we assume no responsibility for the accuracy or

completeness of any such information. In addition, we have made no investigation of the financial condition of any of the Borrower Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, we have no actual knowledge that any factual information upon which we have relied is inaccurate.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to (a) the laws of the State of Ohio (with respect to opinions 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 27), (b) the DE LLC Act (with respect to opinions 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 19, 21, 23 and 26), (c) the Delaware UCC (with respect to opinions 7, 9, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 25, and 26), (e) the DE LP Act (with respect to opinions 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 23), (f) the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Ohio, as compiled in the Commerce Clearing House, Inc.

Whenever an opinion is expressed herein to be “known to us” or “to our knowledge,” such opinion is limited to facts disclosed to us in the Officer’s Certificate and the actual knowledge of the attorneys of our firm that have given substantive attention to the matters contemplated by the Loan Documents and we have not made (nor do we acknowledge any duty to make) any independent or other investigation with respect thereto. In addition, in connection with this opinion we have made no investigation (nor do we acknowledge any duty to make any investigation) of the financial condition of any of the Borrower Parties.

Based solely and in reliance on the foregoing and subject to the further qualifications hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each Delaware LLC (as defined in Exhibit A) is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. Each Ohio Corporation (as defined in Exhibit A) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio. Each Ohio LLC (as defined in Exhibit A) is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio.

3. Retail Value Investment Program IIIC Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Retail Value”), is a limited partnership validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

4. Each LLC Borrower Party (as defined in Exhibit A) has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which each LLC Borrower Party is a party, and each LLC Borrower Party’s performance of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of

KeyBank National Association

June 29, 2005

that LLC Borrower Party. Each LLC Borrower Party that is entering into a Loan Document on behalf of another Borrower Party has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver that Loan Document on behalf of such other Borrower Party. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which each LLC Borrower Party is entering into on behalf of another Borrower Party have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of that LLC Borrower Party.

5. Each Corporate Borrower Party (as defined in Exhibit A) has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which each Corporate Borrower Party is a party, and that Corporate Borrower Party’s performance of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of that Corporate Borrower Party. Each Corporate Borrower Party that is entering into a Loan Document on behalf of another Borrower Party has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver that Loan Document on behalf of such other Borrower Party. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which each Corporate Borrower Party is entering into on behalf of another Borrower Party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of that Corporate Borrower Party.

6. Retail Value has all limited partnership authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which Retail Value is a party, and Retail Value’s performance of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership action on the part of Retail Value.

7. The execution and delivery by each Borrower Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance by that Borrower Party of its obligations thereunder, the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which each Borrower Party is entering into on behalf of another Borrower Party, and the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) breach or violate any provision of any Entity Document, (ii) require any consent or approval of any member, stockholder or partner of that Borrower Party not heretofore obtained, (iii) violate any provision of any applicable law, rule or regulation of general applicability of the State of Ohio, the DE LLC Act, DE LP Act or the Delaware UCC, (iv) to our knowledge, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to which that Borrower Party is a party, except for breaches of or defaults under financial covenants as to which we give no opinion, (v) to our knowledge, result in the creation or imposition of any liens on any of the assets of that Borrower Party, other than liens contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (vi) to our knowledge, violate or constitute a breach of any applicable judgment, order or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court having jurisdiction over that Borrower Party or any of its properties or assets.

8. The Loan Documents to which each Borrower Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by that Borrower Party and constitute legally valid and binding obligations of

KeyBank National Association
Page 8
June 29, 2005

that Borrower Party, enforceable against that Borrower Party in accordance with their respective terms. The Loan Document that any Borrower Party is entering into on behalf of another Borrower Party have been duly executed and delivered by that Borrower Party.

9. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, or filings or registrations with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the State of Ohio, the State of Delaware or the United States of America are necessary for (a) the execution, delivery and performance by any Borrower Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (b) the execution and delivery of any Loan Document by any Borrower Party that is entering into that Loan Document on behalf of another Borrower Party, or (c) for the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby except for (i) the filing of the Financing Statements (as defined in Exhibit B) and (ii) authorizations, consents and approvals that already have been obtained or filings that have already been made and that remain in effect, other than the filing of the Loan Documents, or information relating thereto, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

10. To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against any Borrower Party that, if determined adversely to that Borrower Party would have a material adverse effect on all the Borrower Parties, taken as a whole, or that would challenge the validity or enforceability of, or can reasonably be expected to adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, or materially affect the ability of that Borrower Party to perform its obligations under, the Loan Documents to which it is a party or materially affect the security interests or liens created or intended to be created thereby.

11. If the usury laws of the State of Ohio were found applicable to the Notes, the interest rate (including late charges (to the extent deemed interest), default interest (to the extent payable)) and other charges provided for in the Notes and other Loan Documents do not violate any usury laws of the State of Ohio.

12. It is not necessary or required for the Agent or the Lenders to qualify to transact business in the State of Ohio as foreign corporations solely to make the Loans, and no license of any governmental authority of the State of Ohio is required to make the Loans. If it is determined that the Agent or the Lenders should have qualified to transact business in the State of Ohio pursuant to Sections 1703.01 to 1703.31, inclusive, of the Ohio Revised Code and failed to do so, that failure will not affect the validity of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that none of the Agent or the Lenders will be able to maintain any action in any court in the State of Ohio until such time that such qualification as a foreign corporation is obtained by it.

13. The consummation by Lenders of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not constitute “doing business” or “transacting business” for the purpose of subjecting the Lenders or the Agent to taxation in any form by the State of Ohio, except for the State of Ohio corporate franchise tax.

14. Each Collateral Assignment (as defined in Exhibit B) is sufficient under the Ohio UCC to create a valid security interest in favor of the Agent, securing the Obligations, in the right, title and interest of each Assignor that is a party thereto in and to any Collateral (as defined in that Collateral Assignment) in which a security interest can be created under the Ohio UCC.

15. Each DE Financing Statement (as defined in Exhibit B) is in proper form for filing in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. When each DE Financing Statement is duly filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and all required filing fees are paid, such DE Financing Statement will be sufficient to perfect a security interest in the right, title and interest of the Assignor named therein as the debtor in and to the Collateral described in the applicable DE Collateral Assignment and in such DE Financing Statement in which a security interest may be perfected under the Delaware UCC by filing financing statements in the State of Delaware. If future advances are made by the Lenders while the security interest described in the preceding sentence is perfected by the filing of the DE Financing Statements, that security interest will have the same priority for the purposes of the Delaware UCC with respect to the future advances as it does with respect to the first advance.

16. Each OH Financing Statement (as defined on Exhibit B) is in proper form for filing in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio. When each OH Financing Statement is duly filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio and all required filing fees are paid, such Financing Statement will be sufficient to perfect a security interest in the right, title and interest of the Assignor named therein as the debtor in and to the Collateral described in the applicable OH Collateral Assignment and in such OH Financing Statement in which a security interest may be perfected under the Ohio UCC by filing financing statements in the State of Ohio. If future advances are made by the Lenders while the security interest described in the preceding sentence is perfected by the filing of the OH Financing Statements, that security interest will have the same priority for the purposes of the Ohio UCC with respect to the future advances as it does with respect to the first advance.

17. Each AL Financing Statement (as defined in Exhibit B) is in proper form for filing in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Alabama. When each AL Financing Statement is duly filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Alabama and all required filing fees are paid, such AL Financing Statement will be sufficient to perfect a security interest in the right, title and interest of the Assignor named therein as the debtor in and to the Collateral described in the applicable AL Collateral Assignment and in such AL Financing Statement in which a security interest may be perfected under the AL UCC by filing financing statements in the State of Alabama. If future advances are made by the Lenders while the security interest described in the preceding sentence is perfected by the filing of the AL Financing Statements, that security interest will have the same priority for the purposes of the Alabama UCC with respect to the future advances as it does with respect to the first advance.

18. Each MD Financing Statement (as defined in Exhibit B) is in proper form for filing in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Maryland. When each MD Financing Statement is duly filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Maryland and all required filing fees are paid, such MD Financing Statement will be sufficient to perfect a security interest in the right, title and interest of the Assignor named therein as the debtor in and to the Collateral described in the applicable MD Collateral Assignment and in such MD Financing Statement in which a security interest may be perfected under the MD UCC by filing financing statements in the State of Maryland. If future advances are made by the Lenders while the security interest described in the preceding sentence is perfected by the filing of the MD Financing Statements, that security interest will have the same priority for the purposes of the MD UCC with respect to the future advances as it does with respect to the first advance.

19. Each of the LLC Assignors (as defined in Exhibit A) has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to own the Collateral that it purports to assign pursuant to the Collateral Assignment to which it is a party.

20. Each of the Corporate Assignors (as defined in Exhibit A) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own the Collateral that it purports to assign pursuant to the Collateral Assignment to which it is a party.

21. No transfer tax, deed tax, conveyance tax or similar tax is payable as a result of the transfer of the Collateral (whether by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) by any Assignor to Agent.

22. The pledge and assignment of the Equity Interests that are part of the Collateral are exempt from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Blue Sky Laws of the State of Delaware and State of Ohio.

23. Upon the foreclosure of the Equity Interests, or transfer in lieu thereof, the purchaser thereof automatically shall become a substitute partner or member, as applicable, in the applicable entity, with all rights, powers and privileges of a partner or member, as applicable, in the applicable entity, without the necessity of obtaining any consents, approvals or other actions of any kind or nature whatsoever from or by any person or entity.

24. With respect to each Loan Document that provides it is to be governed by the law of the State of Ohio, a court of the State of Ohio or a federal court applying the choice of laws principles prevailing under the laws of the State or Ohio should give effect to that provision, except to the extent and in the event that the application of the law of the State of Ohio would be contrary to the fundamental policy of a state having a greater material interest in the issue than the State of Ohio and, if such other state would be the state of the applicable law in the absence of the choice of law provisions in that Loan Document.

25. The Company Interests and the Partnership Interests that are not evidenced by certificates (as defined in the Assignments) are “general intangibles” under Article 9 of the Delaware UCC and the Ohio UCC. Under the Delaware UCC and the Ohio UCC, the law of the jurisdiction where the Borrower is “located” will govern perfection of the Agent’s security interest in such equity interests.

26. The Company Interests that are evidenced by Certificates (the “Certificated Collateral”) are (a) “certificated securities” under Article 8 of the DE UCC and (b) “investment property” under Article 9 of the DE UCC. Under the DE UCC, the law of the jurisdiction where the Certificated Collateral is located will govern the perfection of the Agent’s possessory security interest in such Certificated Collateral.

27. The Account Agreement (as defined in Exhibit B) is sufficient to create a legal and valid security interest in favor of the Agent, security the Obligations, in the right, title and interest of DDR in and to the Deposit Accounts, which security interest has been perfected by the execution and delivery of the Account Agreement by the parties thereto.

Despite any other express or implied statement in this letter, each of the opinions expressed in this letter is subject to the following further qualifications, whether or not such opinions refer to such qualifications:

(a) The opinions expressed herein may be limited by: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent or preferential transfer, moratorium or similar federal or state laws or judicial decisions of general application relating to the rights of creditors and (ii) general principles of equity, including the defenses of unconscionability, ambiguity, and economic duress, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b) Certain of the remedial provisions contained in the Loan Documents may be unenforceable in whole or in part. For example: (i) provisions for the recovery of legal fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents may not be enforceable, (ii) provisions resulting in a waiver of certain rights by a debtor or obligor may be limited by legal and equitable principles and public policy at the time in effect and (iii) every aspect of the disposition of any collateral subject to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the method, manner, time, place and terms, must be commercially reasonable as provided in Section 9-610 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Subject to the limitations in the foregoing sentence and in subparagraph (a) above, such unenforceability will not render the Loan Documents invalid as a whole or, upon a material default by a Borrower Party under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, substantially interfere with the realization of the principal benefits, remedies and/or security provided thereby, assuming that the Lenders exercise their rights and remedies in a commercially reasonable manner.

KeyBank National Association
Page 12
June 29, 2005

(c) We express no opinion as to whether a court would limit the exercise or enforcement of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents (i) in the event of any default by a Borrower Party thereunder or under any related agreement or instrument if it is determined that such default is not material or if such exercise or enforcement is not reasonably necessary for a creditor’s protection or (ii) if the exercise or enforcement thereof under the circumstances would violate an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(d) We express no opinion with respect to (i) the power or authority of any of the Lenders to make the Loans, (ii) except as set forth in this opinion, compliance by the Agent or any of the Lenders with any federal or state banking law, rule, regulation or restriction or (iii) the enforceability of any guaranty if the underlying obligations or the documentation evidencing or governing such obligations are invalid, unenforceable or otherwise have been released or discharged.

(e) We express no opinion with respect to: (i) except as set forth in paragraph 24, the choice of law provisions in the Loan Documents, (ii) the right, title or interest of any person to any property, real or personal, or the existence of or freedom from any security interest, lien, charge or encumbrance thereon; (iii) except to the extent set forth in paragraphs 14 through and including 18 and in paragraphs 25 through and including 27 above, the creation, attachment, enforceability or perfection of any lien on or security interest in any real or personal property; (iv) the priority of any lien on or security interest in any real or personal property or the accuracy of the description thereof in any of the Loan Documents or the Financing Statements; (v) whether any financing statement, mortgage or other instrument or document has been duly filed or recorded; and (vi) the creation, attachment, enforceability or perfection of any lien on or security interest in any real or personal property to which Article 8 and/or Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect in the applicable jurisdiction, does not apply.

(f) Any security interest created under the Loan Documents with respect to any property will not be effective until an Assignor has acquired rights therein, and with respect to personal property that is acquired by an Assignor after the date hereof, Section 552 of the United States Bankruptcy Code will limit the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case.

(g) The perfection of any security interest arising from the filing of financing statements will expire or be ineffective (i) as to any property acquired by the debtor more than four months after such debtor changes its name, identity or structure so as to make the financing statements seriously misleading under Section 9-506 of the Uniform Commercial Code, unless amendments to the financing statements that render the financing statements not seriously misleading are properly filed before the expiration of such four-month period; (ii) as to any property with respect to which a continuation statement is not filed within the period of six months prior to the expiration of five years from the date of the original filing of the applicable financing statement; (iii) in

KeyBank National Association
Page 13
June 29, 2005

accordance with the provisions of Section 9-315 of the Uniform Commercial Code relating to proceeds of personal property subject to a perfected interest; (iv) four months after the change of the debtor’s location to a jurisdiction of organization other than the jurisdiction of organization in which it is located on the date hereof; and (v) as to accounts, general intangibles, investment property and chattel paper, four months after the debtor identified therein changes its location, to a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which it is located on the date hereof, unless new appropriate financing statements are properly filed in the appropriate jurisdiction before the expiration of such four-month period.

(h) The opinion rendered in paragraph 12 is subject to the qualification that the right of the Agent and the Lenders to maintain any action under the Loan Documents in any court in the State of Ohio may require the Agent and the Lenders to qualify to transact business in the State of Ohio.

(i) We express no opinion as to any provisions of the Loan Documents that purport to relieve a party of, or to indemnify a party against, any liability for the negligence or misconduct of such party.

(j) We advise you that late charges, service charges, commitment fees and similar charges may be deemed interest in the year paid if such amounts are not reasonably related to the actual expenses incurred by a lender in connection with a loan.

(k) Provisions of the Loan Documents may become unenforceable by reason of violation of Sections 2905.21(h) and 2905.22 of the Ohio Revised Code concerning criminal usury, which prohibit, inter alia, the charging of interest “at a rate exceeding twenty-five percent per annum or the equivalent rate for a longer or shorter period, unless . . . the rate of interest is otherwise authorized by law.” However, to our knowledge, there is no Ohio judicial decision that applied the provisions of said Sections 2905.22 and 2905.21(h) to transactions similar to those contemplated by the Loan Documents.

These opinions are being issued and delivered to KeyBank National Association for the benefit of the Agent and Lenders under the Loan Agreement and their respective successors and assigns and their counsel, each of whom may rely on these opinions, for use in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement.

Very truly yours,

FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION OF the sum of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration paid or delivered to the entities executing this Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance (such entities are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as “Guarantor” and collectively as “Guarantors”) the receipt and sufficiency whereof is hereby acknowledged by Guarantors, and for the purpose of seeking to induce KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (hereinafter referred to as “Lender,” which term shall also include each other Lender which may now or hereafter become a party to the “Loan Agreement” (as hereinafter defined) and shall also include any such individual Lender acting as administrative agent for all the Lenders), to extend credit or otherwise provide financial accommodations to DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation (“DDR”) and each Subsidiary which is a Qualified Borrower under the Loan Agreement (such Subsidiaries together with DDR being hereinafter referred to collectively as “Borrower”), which extension of credit and provision of financial accommodations will be to the direct interest, advantage and benefit of Guarantors, Guarantors do hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Lender:

(a) the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, either before or after maturity thereof, of (i) those certain Notes dated of even date herewith made by DDR to the order of KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) and the other Lenders that are parties to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) those certain Notes dated of even date herewith made by each Qualified Borrower to the order of KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) and the other Lenders that are parties to the Loan Agreement, in the aggregate principal face amount of up to Two Hundred Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($220,000,000.00), together with interest as provided in the Notes, together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements and extensions thereof; and

(b) the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, either before or after maturity thereof, of each other note as may be issued under that certain Secured Term Loan Agreement dated of even date herewith (hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Agreement”) among Borrower, KeyBank, for itself and as Agent, and the other Lenders now or hereafter a party thereto, together with interest as provided in each such note, together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements, increases, and extensions thereof (each of the Notes described in subparagraph (a) above and this subparagraph (b) are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Note”); and

(c) the full and prompt payment and performance of all obligations of Borrower to Lender under the terms of the Loan Agreement, together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements and extensions thereof;

(d) the full and prompt payment and performance of any and all other obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Security Documents, together with any

F-1

replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements and extensions thereof; and

(e) the full and prompt payment and performance of any and all other obligations of Borrower to Lender under any other agreements, documents or instruments now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or the Loan Agreement (the Note, the Security Documents, the Loan Agreement and said other agreements, documents and instruments, including, without limitation, the Qualified Borrower Guaranty, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents” and individually referred to as a “Loan Document”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantors acknowledge the terms of Section 2.1 of the Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Aggregate Commitment under the Loan Agreement may be increased from $220,000,000.00 to $400,000,000.00 and agree that this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to each new or replacement note delivered by Borrower in connection with any such increase and all other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents as a result of such increase without notice to or consent from Guarantors, or any of them.

All terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

1. Agreement to Pay and Perform; Costs of Collection. Guarantors do hereby agree that if the Note is not paid by Borrower in accordance with its terms, or if any and all sums which are now or may hereafter become due from Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents are not paid by Borrower in accordance with their terms, or if any and all other Obligations are not performed by Borrower in accordance with their terms, Guarantors will immediately make such payments and perform such Obligations. Guarantors further agree to pay Lender on demand all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Lender in endeavoring to collect the Obligations, to enforce any of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce this Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance (this “Guaranty”).

2. Reinstatement of Refunded Payments. If, for any reason, any payment to Lender of any of the Obligations is required to be refunded by Lender to Borrower, or paid or turned over to any other person, including, without limitation, by reason of the operation of bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency laws or similar laws of general application relating to creditors’ rights and remedies now or hereafter enacted, Guarantors agree to pay to the Lender on demand an amount equal to the amount so required to be refunded, paid or turned over (hereinafter referred to as the “Turnover Payment”), the obligations of Guarantors shall not be treated as having been discharged by the original payment to Lender giving rise to the Turnover Payment, and this Guaranty shall be treated as having remained in full force and effect for any such Turnover Payment so made by Lender, as well as for any amounts not theretofore paid to Lender on account of such obligations.

3. Rights of Lender to Deal with Collateral, Borrower and Other Persons. Each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that Lender may at any time, and from time to time, without thereby releasing any Guarantor from any liability hereunder and without notice to or further consent from any other Guarantor or any other person or entity, either with or without

F-2

consideration: release or surrender any lien or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by it or by any person, firm or corporation on its behalf or for its account, securing any of the Obligations; substitute for any collateral so held by it, other collateral of like kind, or of any kind; modify the terms of the Note or the Loan Documents; extend or renew the Note for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Note or the Loan Documents and to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any other guarantor (including any Guarantor), surety, endorser or accommodation party of the Note, the Security Documents or any other Loan Documents; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Note or the Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender or for the performance of any of the Obligations or other obligations or undertakings of Borrower, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other person, shall release any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way or afford any Guarantor any recourse against Lender. The provisions of this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to all replacements, supplements, renewals, amendments, extensions, consolidations, restatements and modifications of the Note and the Loan Documents, and any and all references herein to the Note and the Loan Documents shall be deemed to include any such replacements, supplements, renewals, extensions, amendments, consolidations, restatements or modifications thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantors acknowledge the terms of Section 12.3.2 of the Loan Agreement and agree that this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to each new or replacement note delivered by Borrower pursuant thereto without notice to or further consent from Guarantors.

4. No Contest with Lender; Subordination. So long as any Obligation remains unpaid or undischarged, Guarantors will not, by paying any sum recoverable hereunder (whether or not demanded by Lender) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any set-off or counterclaim against Borrower in respect of any liability of Guarantors to Borrower or, in proceedings under federal bankruptcy law or insolvency proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with Lender in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of Borrower or the benefit of any other security for any Obligation which, now or hereafter, Lender may hold or in which it may have any share. Guarantors hereby expressly waive any right of contribution from or indemnity against Borrower or any other Guarantor, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, and Guarantors acknowledge that Guarantors have no right whatsoever to proceed against Borrower or any other Guarantor for reimbursement of any such payments except for those rights of each Guarantor under the Contribution Agreement; provided, however, each Guarantor agrees not to pursue or enforce any of its rights under that certain Contribution Agreement dated as of even date herewith among Borrower and each Guarantor (as modified and amended from time to time, the “Contribution Agreement”), and each Guarantor agrees not to make or receive any payment on account of the Contribution Agreement so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or undischarged. In the event any Guarantor shall receive any payment under or on account of the Contribution Agreement, it shall hold such payment as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount or other portion of such indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment. In connection with the foregoing, Guarantors expressly waive any and all rights

F-3

of subrogation to Lender against Borrower or any other Guarantor, and Guarantors hereby waive any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or any other Guarantor and any rights to participate in any collateral for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Guarantors hereby subordinate any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantors to all of the Obligations and any other indebtedness of Borrower or any other Guarantor to Lender, and agrees with Lender that (a) Guarantors shall not demand or accept any payment from Borrower or any other Guarantor on account of such indebtedness, (b) Guarantors shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantors’ obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness, and (c) Guarantors shall not take any action to obtain any interest in any of the security described in and encumbered by the Loan Documents because of any such indebtedness; provided, however, that, if Lender so requests, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantors as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount of such outstanding indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment.

5. Waiver of Defenses. Guarantors hereby agree that its obligations hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by, and hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based on:

(a) the incapacity or lack of authority of Borrower or any other Person, the death or disability of Borrower or Guarantors or any other Person, or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or in any other proceeding) of Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person;

(b) the dissolution or termination of existence of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person;

(c) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person;

(d) the voluntary or involuntary receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, assignment, composition, or readjustment of, or any similar proceeding affecting Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person, or any of Borrower’s or any Guarantors’ or any other Person’s properties or assets;

(e) the damage, destruction, condemnation, foreclosure or surrender of all or any part of any collateral now or hereafter securing the payment or performance of the Obligations or the Subject Properties or any of the improvements located thereon;

(f) the failure of Lender to give notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or nonaction on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any obligation hereby guaranteed;

(g) any failure or delay of Lender to commence an action against Borrower or any other Person, to assert or enforce any remedies against Borrower under the Note or the Loan Documents, or to realize upon any security;

F-4

(h) any failure of any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to any Guarantor any facts it may now or hereafter know regarding Borrower, any other Person or any collateral now or hereafter securing the payment of the Obligations, whether such facts materially increase the risk to Guarantors or not (it being agreed that Guarantors assume responsibility for being informed with respect to such information);

(i) failure to accept or give notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Lender;

(j) failure to make or give notice of presentment and demand for payment of any of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender or performance of any of the Obligations;

(k) failure to make or give protest and notice of dishonor or of default to Guarantors or to any other party with respect to any of the Obligations;

(l) any and all other notices whatsoever to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled;

(m) any lack of diligence by Lender in collection, protection or realization upon any collateral securing the payment or performance of the Obligations;

(n) the invalidity or unenforceability of the Note or any of the Loan Documents;

(o) the compromise, settlement, release or termination of any or all of the Obligations;

(p) any transfer by Borrower or any other Person of all or any part of any collateral now or hereafter securing the payment or performance of the Obligations;

(q) the failure of Lender to perfect any security or to extend or renew the perfection of any security;

(r) any statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection of the Note or for the payment of performance of the Obligations; or

(s) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other legal, equitable or surety defenses whatsoever to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled, it being the intention that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.

F-5

which such Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of all or any of the obligations of Guarantors hereunder that arise from the existence or performance of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any Collateral which Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights except for those rights of each Guarantor under the Contribution Agreement; provided, however, each Guarantor agrees not to pursue or enforce any of its rights under the Contribution Agreement and each Guarantor agrees not to make or receive any payment on account of the Contribution Agreement so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or undischarged. In the event any Guarantor shall receive any payment under or on account of the Contribution Agreement, it shall hold such payment as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount or other portion of such indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment.

6. Guaranty of Payment and Performance and Not of Collection. This is a Guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be primary, direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Borrower or any other Person, nor against securities or liens available to Lender, its successors, successors in title, endorsees or assigns. Guarantors hereby waive any right to require that an action be brought against Borrower or any other Person or to require that resort be had to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Lender in favor of Borrower or any other Person.

7. Rights and Remedies of Lender. In the event of a Default under the Note or the Loan Documents, or any of them, Lender shall have the right to enforce its rights, powers and remedies thereunder or hereunder or under any other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, in any order, and all rights, powers and remedies available to Lender in such event shall be nonexclusive and cumulative of all other rights, powers and remedies provided thereunder or hereunder or by law or in equity. Accordingly, Guarantors hereby authorize and empower Lender upon the occurrence of any Default under the Note or the Loan Documents, at its sole discretion, and without notice to Guarantors, to exercise any right or remedy which Lender may have, including, but not limited to, judicial foreclosure, exercise of rights of power of sale, acceptance of an assignment in lieu of foreclosure, appointment of a receiver to collect rents and profits, exercise of remedies against personal property, or enforcement of any assignment of leases, as to any security, whether real, personal or intangible. At any public or private sale of any security or collateral for any of the Obligations, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, Lender may, in its discretion, purchase all or any part of such security or collateral so sold or offered for sale for its own account and may apply against the amount bid therefor all or any part of the balance due it pursuant to the terms of the Note or Security Documents or any other Loan Document without

F-6

prejudice to Lender’s remedies hereunder against Guarantors for deficiencies. If the Obligations are partially paid by reason of the election of Lender to pursue any of the remedies available to Lender, or if such Obligations are otherwise partially paid, this Guaranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and Guarantors shall remain liable for the entire balance of the Obligations even though any rights which Guarantors may have against Borrower may be destroyed or diminished by the exercise of any such remedy.

8. Application of Payments. Guarantors hereby authorize Lender, without notice to Guarantors, to apply all payments and credits received from Borrower or from Guarantors or realized from any security in such manner and in such priority Lender in its sole judgment shall see fit to the Obligations.

9. Business Failure, Bankruptcy or Insolvency. In the event of the business failure of any Guarantor or if there shall be pending any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor under federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable law or in connection with the insolvency of any Guarantor, or if a liquidator, receiver, or trustee shall have been appointed for any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s properties or assets, Lender may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in any proceedings relative to such Guarantor, or any of such Guarantor’s properties or assets, and, irrespective of whether the Obligations shall then be due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, Lender shall be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any sum or sums owing with respect to the Obligations, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim. Guarantors covenant and agree that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Borrower, Guarantors shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against Guarantors by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise.

10. Financial Statements and Other Information. Guarantors hereby represent and warrant to Lender that all financial statements of Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries heretofore delivered by them to Lender are true and correct in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and the results of operations for the period then ended; that no material adverse change has occurred in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or business of Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries as reflected therein since the date thereof; and that Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries have no liabilities or known contingent liabilities involving material amounts which are not reflected in such financial statements or referred to in the notes thereto other than Guarantors’ obligations under this Guaranty.

11. Covenants of Guarantors. Guarantors hereby covenant and agree with Lender that until all Obligations have been completely paid and performed and the obligations of Lender under the Loan Agreement have terminated:

(j) each Guarantor shall at all times comply with all covenants and provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents applicable to such Guarantor.

12. Security and Rights of Set-off.
