Increase of Commitments. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent on up to four (4) occasions during the period from June 28, 2011 to the Facility Termination Date, request incremental Commitments in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of $500,000,000 from one or more additional Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such incremental Commitments in their own discretion. The Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts, with the assistance of the Borrower, to arrange a syndicate of Lenders willing to hold the requested incremental Commitments. If Lenders are willing to provide such Incremental Commitments, the Domestic Revolving Commitments and/or the Global Revolving Commitments 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 $1,250,000,000 less any voluntary reductions after June 28, 2011 pursuant to this Section 2.1. Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to increase its Commitments hereunder. 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, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof. On the effective date of each such increase in the Domestic Revolving Commitments or Global Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall cause the new or existing Lenders providing such increase to hold its or their pro rata share of all ratable Borrowings outstanding at the close of business on such day for such Class, by either funding more than its or their pro rata share of new ratable Borrowings 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 Borrowings to achieve such result. The 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 Eurocurrency Borrowings. In no event will such new or existing Lenders providing the increase be required to fund or purchase a portion of any Competitive Bid Loan or Swingline Loan to comply with this Section on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no incremental Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.1 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower as to the board resolutions evidencing authority for such incremental Commitment and as to any changes to the formation documents of the Borrower since the Closing Date, and (iii) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 6.18 after giving effect to the Loans to be made on such date pursuant to

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 or any of its Subsidiaries 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 that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.1 or as set forth in written notices to the Administrative Agent given from time to time after the Agreement Execution Date on or about the date such material contingent obligations are incurred.”

“(v) As soon as possible and in any event within 10 days after a responsible officer of DDR knows that any Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, a statement, signed by the chief financial officer of DDR, describing said Reportable Event and the action which the Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto;”

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all calculations to determine compliance with the above financial covenants shall exclude values, including, without limitation, Indebtedness, assets, liabilities, income, revenues and expenses, attributable to any Project owned by a member of the Consolidated Group or an Investment Affiliate if (1) a receiver, custodian, trustee, examiner, liquidator or similar official has been appointed for such Project and (2) the Indebtedness encumbering or attributable to such Project is Nonrecourse Indebtedness, and (3) no recourse event has been triggered and is continuing under any guaranty or indemnity agreement of a member of the Consolidated Group or an Investment Affiliate related to such Nonrecourse Indebtedness as a result of any of the events described in clause (1) of this paragraph which has not been waived in writing by the holder of such Nonrecourse Indebtedness or with respect to which the holder of such Nonrecourse Indebtedness has not otherwise agreed in writing to forbear from enforcing or exercising its rights under such guaranty or indemnity agreement (but only for so long as such waiver or forbearance continues), provided, further, however, that in no event shall this paragraph be deemed or construed to exclude any Project, member of the Consolidated Group or Investment Affiliate from any covenants, requirements or obligations of such entities set forth in any other Section of this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. The aggregate amount of such members of the Consolidated Group and Investment Affiliates’ pro rata share of all such Nonrecourse Indebtedness encumbering or attributable to all such Projects excluded from calculations to determine compliance with the above financial covenants shall not exceed $300,000,000.”
