Company, which may include one or more of the Underwriters or any successor to such entities. If

     Section 2.02. Aggregate Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of Notes
which may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is initially limited in aggregate
principal amount to $350,000,000, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306,
906, 1107 or 1203 of the Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the
Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered thereunder; provided that the
Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the
principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional Securities in the future (the “Additional
Notes”) having the same terms and ranking equally and ratably with the Notes in all respects and
with the same CUSIP number as the Notes, except for the difference in the issue price and interest
accrued prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes, provided that such Additional Notes
constitute part of the same issue as the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any
Additional Notes will be treated as a single series with the Notes under the Indenture and shall
have the same terms as to status, redemption, repurchase, conversion and otherwise as the Notes.

     The Company or its affiliates may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any time
purchase Notes in the open market, by tender at any price or by private agreement.

     Section 2.03. Registered Securities in Book-Entry Form. The Notes shall be issuable
in the form of one or more global Securities registered in the name of The Depository Trust
Company’s nominee, and shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New

for conversion at the office or agency of the Company (including the Trustee) maintained for such
purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at any other office or agency
maintained by the Company for such purpose.

     Section 2.04. Stated Maturity of Principal. The “Stated Maturity” of the principal of
the Notes shall be November 15, 2040.

     Section 2.05. Interest. The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum
from November 5, 2010, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been
paid or provided for, as the case may be, and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15
and November 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on May 15, 2011, until
the principal thereof is paid or duly made available for payment, to the Persons in whose names
such Notes are registered at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 (whether or not a
Business Day) preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”).
Interest payable on each Interest Payment Date shall equal the amount of interest accrued for the
period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of
which interest has been paid (or commencing on and including November 5, 2010, if no interest has
been paid) and ending on and including the day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day

hereof, or if a Holder shall surrender a Note for repurchase by the Company in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.08 or 2.09 hereof, subject to the next succeeding sentence, accrued

6

 

and unpaid interest shall be payable to each Holder that shall have surrendered such Note for
redemption or repurchase, as the case may be. However, if an Interest Payment Date shall fall on or
prior to the Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be,
for a Note, accrued and unpaid interest due on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable instead
to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the related Regular
Record Date.

     Section 2.06. Place of Payment. The principal of and the interest on the Notes shall
be payable at the office or agency of the Company (including the Trustee) maintained for such
purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in the manner specified in this
Indenture.

     Section 2.07. Redemption. If, at any time prior to November 20, 2015, the Company
determines it is necessary to redeem the Notes in order to preserve the Company’s status as a real
estate investment trust, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ prior written notice by mail to the Holders of the Notes, redeem the Notes in whole or in
part, for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid
interest accrued thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date (such amount, the “Redemption
Price”). In such case, the Company shall provide the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing that the Board of Directors of the Company has, in good faith, made the determination
that it is necessary to redeem the Notes in order to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate
investment trust. The Notes shall not otherwise be redeemable prior to November 20, 2015.

     At any time and from time to time on or after November 20, 2015, the Company may, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice by mail to the Holders of the Notes,
redeem the Notes in whole or in part, for cash equal to the Redemption Price.

     If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be
redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof) on a pro rata basis, by
lot or by such other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate, subject, with respect to
Notes that are in global form, to the rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall
make the selection at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date from
Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. Notes and portions of the principal amount
thereof selected for redemption shall be in integral multiples of $1,000. The Trustee shall notify
the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If
the Trustee selects a portion of a Note for partial redemption and a Holder converts a portion of
the same Note in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 hereof before termination of the
conversion right with respect to the portion of the Note so selected, the converted portion of such
Note shall be deemed to be from the portion selected for redemption. Notes that have been
converted during a selection of Notes to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding
for the purpose of such selection.

     In addition to those matters set forth in Section 1104 of the Indenture, a notice of
redemption sent to the Holders of Notes to be redeemed in accordance with the provisions of the two
preceding paragraphs shall state:

     (a) the name of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

7

 

     (b) the then current Conversion Rate;

     (c) that Notes called for redemption may be converted at any time prior to the close of
business on the second Business Day preceding the Redemption Date; and

     (d) that Holders who wish to convert Notes must comply with the procedures relating
thereto specified in Section 2.13 hereof.

     Section 2.08. Repurchase at Option of Holders on Specified Dates. A Holder of Notes
shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes, in whole or in part
(in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof) on November 15, 2015, November 15,
2020, November 15, 2025, November 15, 2030 and November 15, 2035 (each, a “Purchase Date”) for cash
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus unpaid interest accrued
thereon to but excluding the Purchase Date (such amount, the “Purchase Price”), subject to
satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth below.

     On or before the 25th Business Day prior to each Purchase Date, the Company shall mail or
cause to be mailed to all Holders of record on such date (and to beneficial owners as required by
applicable law) a notice by first-class mail to the Trustee, any Paying Agent and to each Holder
(and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law). The notice shall include a form of
Purchase Notice (defined below) to be completed by the Holder and shall state:

     (a) the date by which the Purchase Notice must be delivered to the Paying Agent;

     (b) the Purchase Date;

     (c) the Purchase Price;

     (d) the name and address of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

     (e) that Notes in respect of which a Purchase Notice is provided by a Holder shall not
be convertible unless such Holder validly withdraws such Purchase Notice in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 2.08;

     (f) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their
Notes;

     (g) that Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment of the
Purchase Price;

     (h) that the Purchase Price for any Note as to which a Purchase Notice has been duly
given will be promptly following the later of the Purchase Date or the surrender by delivery
or book-entry transfer of such Notes for repurchase;

8

 

     (i) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of the Purchase Price, interest
on Notes surrendered for repurchase will cease to accrue on and after the Purchase Date; and

     (j) the CUSIP number of the Notes.

     The Company shall also disseminate a press release containing the information specified above
or publish such information in a newspaper of general circulation in New York City or on the
Company’s website, or through such other public medium as the Company shall deem appropriate at
such time.

     A Holder may exercise its rights specified in this Section 2.08 upon delivery of a written
notice of such Holder’s exercise of its repurchase right (a “Purchase Notice”) to the Paying Agent
at any time during the period beginning at the opening of business on the date that is 25 Business
Days prior to the Purchase Date to the close of business on the fourth Business Day prior to the
Purchase Date, stating:

     (a) if such Notes are in certificated form, the certificate number(s) of the Notes
which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased;

     (b) the portion of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, in multiples of
$1,000, provided that the remaining principal amount of Notes is in an authorized
denomination; and

     (c) that such Note shall be repurchased pursuant to the applicable provisions hereof
and of the Notes.

     The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the receipt by it of any
Purchase Notice.

     Book-entry transfer of Notes in book-entry form in compliance with appropriate procedures of
the Depositary or delivery of Notes in certificated form (together with all necessary endorsements)
to the Paying Agent on or after the Purchase Date at the offices of the Paying Agent shall be a
condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Purchase Price therefor. Holders electing to require
the Company to repurchase Notes must effect such transfer or delivery to the Paying Agent prior to
the Purchase Date to receive payment of the Purchase Price on the
Purchase Date. The Company shall pay the Purchase Price promptly following the later of the
Purchase Date or the time of such transfer or the delivery of the Notes.

     A Purchase Notice may be withdrawn in whole or in part by a Holder by means of a written
notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on
the fourth Business Day prior to the Purchase Date specifying:

     (a) the Holder’s name;

     (b) the principal amount of Notes in respect of which the Purchase Notice is being
withdrawn, which must be an integral multiple of $1,000;

9

 

     (c) if the Notes subject to the notice of withdrawal are in certificated form, the
certificate number(s) of all Notes subject to the notice of withdrawal; and

     (d) the principal amount of Notes, if any, that remains subject to the Purchase Notice,
which must be an integral multiple of $1,000.

     If Notes subject to the notice of withdrawal are in book-entry form, the above notices must
also comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

     On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the Paying
Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the aggregate Purchase Price of
the Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.08. If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture, money sufficient to pay the Purchase Price of such Notes on the
Purchase Date, then, on and after such date, such Notes shall cease to be Outstanding and interest
on such Notes shall cease to accrue and all rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate
(other than the right to receive the Purchase Price after delivery or transfer of the Notes). Such
will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes in book-entry form is made and
whether or not Notes in certificated form, together with the necessary endorsements, are delivered
to the Paying Agent.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 2.08 if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default
with respect to the Notes (other than a default in the payment of the Purchase Price).

     To the extent legally required in connection with a repurchase of Notes, the Company shall
comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act then
applicable, if any, and will file a Schedule TO or any other schedule required under the Exchange
Act. The Company shall comply with all other federal and state securities laws in connection with
any offer by it to repurchase the Notes. To the extent the then applicable requirements under any
federal or state securities laws, including Rule 13e-4 and the other tender offer rules under the
Exchange Act, conflict with the terms of the Notes, the applicable requirements under such federal
and state securities laws shall control.

     The Company may arrange for a third party to purchase Notes for which the Company has received
a valid Purchase Notice that has not been properly withdrawn, in the manner and otherwise in
compliance with the requirements set forth herein and in the Notes. If a third party purchases any
Notes under such circumstances, then interest will continue to accrue on the Notes and such Notes
will continue to be Outstanding after the Purchase Date for all purposes of the Indenture and will
be fungible with all other Notes then Outstanding. The third party subsequently may resell those
purchased Notes to other investors.

     Section 2.09. Repurchase at Option of Holders upon a Change in Control. If a Change
in Control occurs prior to the Stated Maturity, a Holder of Notes shall have the right to require
the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes, in whole or in part (in principal amounts of $1,000
or an integral multiple thereof) for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the

10

 

Notes to be repurchased, plus unpaid interest accrued thereon to but excluding the Change in
Control Purchase Date (such amount, the “Change in Control Purchase Price”), subject to
satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth below.

     Within 20 days after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall mail a written
notice of the particular Change in Control and of the repurchase right arising as a result of such
Change in Control (the “Company Notice”) by first-class mail to the Trustee, any Paying Agent and
to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law). The notice shall include
a form of Change in Control Purchase Notice (defined below) to be completed by the Holder and shall
state:

     (a) briefly, the events causing a Change in Control and the date of such Change in
Control;

     (b) the date by which the Change in Control Purchase Notice must be delivered to the
Paying Agent;

     (c) the date on which the Company will repurchase Notes upon a Change in Control, which

(such date, the “Change in Control Purchase Date”);

     (d) the Change in Control Purchase Price;

     (e) the name and address of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

Purchase Notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.09;

     (g) that Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment of the Change
in Control Purchase Price;

     (h) that the Change in Control Purchase Price for any Note as to which a Change in
Control Purchase Notice has been duly given will be paid promptly following the
later of the Change in Control Purchase Date or the time at which such Notes are surrendered
for repurchase;

     (i) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of the Change in Control
Purchase Price, interest on Notes surrendered for repurchase will cease to accrue on and
after the Change in Control Purchase Date; and

     (j) the CUSIP number of the Notes.

     The Company shall also disseminate a press release announcing the occurrence of such Change in
Control or publish such information in a newspaper of general circulation in The City

11

 

of New York or on the Company’s website, or through such other public medium as the Company
shall deem appropriate at such time.

     A Holder may exercise its rights specified in this Section 2.09 upon delivery of a written
notice of such Holder’s exercise of its repurchase right (a “Change in Control Purchase Notice”) to
the Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the fourth Business Day prior to the
Change in Control Purchase Date, stating:

     (a) if such Notes are in certificated form, the certificate number(s) of the Notes
which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased;

     (b) the portion of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, in multiples of
$1,000, provided that the remaining principal amount of Notes is in an authorized
denomination; and

     (c) that such Note shall be repurchased pursuant to the applicable provisions hereof
and of the Notes.

     The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the receipt by it of any
Change in Control Purchase Notice.

     Book-entry transfer of Notes in book-entry form in compliance with appropriate procedures of
the Depositary or delivery of Notes in certificated form (together with all necessary endorsements)
to the Paying Agent on or after the Change in Control Purchase Date at the offices of the Paying
Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Change in Control Purchase Price
therefor. Holders electing to require the Company to repurchase Notes must effect such transfer or
delivery to the Paying Agent prior to the Change in Control Purchase Date to receive payment of the
Change in Control Purchase Price on  the Change in Control
Purchase Date. The Company shall pay the Change in Control Purchase Price promptly following the
later of the Change in Control Purchase Date or the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of
the Notes.

     A Change in Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn in whole or in part by a Holder by means
of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent prior to the close of
business on the fourth Business Day prior to the Change in Control Purchase Date specifying:

     (a) the Holder’s name;

     (b) the principal amount of Notes in respect of which the Change in Control Purchase
Notice is being withdrawn, which must be an integral multiple of $1,000;

     (c) if the Notes subject to the notice of withdrawal are in certificated form, the
certificate number(s) of all Notes subject to the notice of withdrawal; and

     (d) the principal amount of Notes, if any, that remains subject to the Change in
Control Purchase Notice, which must be an integral multiple of $1,000.

12

 

     If Notes subject to the notice of withdrawal are in book-entry form, the above notices must
also comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

     On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Change in Control Purchase Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is
acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the
aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of the Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Section
2.09. If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, money sufficient
to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price of such Notes on the Change in Control Purchase Date,
then, on and after such date, such Notes shall cease to be Outstanding and interest on such Notes
shall cease to accrue and all rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate (other than the
right to receive the Change in Control Purchase Price after delivery or transfer of the Notes).
Such will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes in book-entry form is made
and whether or not Notes in certificated form, together with the necessary endorsements, are
delivered to the Paying Agent.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 2.09 if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default
with respect to the Notes (other than a default in the payment of the Change in Control Purchase
Price).

     To the extent legally required in connection with a repurchase of Notes, the Company shall
comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act then
applicable, if any, and will file a Schedule TO or any other schedule required under the Exchange
Act. The Company shall comply with all other federal and state securities laws in connection with
any offer by it to repurchase the Notes. To the extent the then applicable requirements under any
federal or state securities laws, including Rule 13e-4 and the other tender offer rules under the
Exchange Act, conflict with the terms of the Notes, the applicable requirements under such federal
and state securities laws shall control.

     The Company may arrange for a third party to purchase Notes for which the Company has received
a valid Change in Control Purchase Notice that has not been properly withdrawn, in the manner and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein and in the Notes. If a third party
purchases any Notes under such circumstances, then interest will continue to accrue on the Notes
and such Notes will continue to be Outstanding after the Change in Control Purchase Date for all
purposes of the Indenture and will be fungible with all other Notes then Outstanding. The third party subsequently may resell those purchased Notes to other investors.

     Section 2.10. Make Whole Amount. If the Effective Date (as defined below) of a Change
in Control occurs prior to November 20, 2015 as a result of a transaction or event described in
clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of Change in Control and a Holder elects to convert its Notes
in connection with such Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.11(d) hereof, the Company shall
increase the applicable Conversion Rate for such Notes surrendered for conversion by a number of
additional Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”) as specified below. A conversion of Notes shall
be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such a Change in Control if the notice of
conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent

13

 

on any date from and including the date that is the Effective Date of such Change in Control
up to and including the 30th Business Day following the Effective Date of such Change in Control.

     The number of Additional Shares will be determined by reference to the table below and is
based on the date on which such Change in Control transaction becomes effective (the “Effective
Date”) and the price (the “Share Price”) paid per Common Share in such Change in Control
transaction. If holders of Common Shares receive only cash in a Change in Control transaction, the
Share Price shall be the cash amount paid per Common Share. In all other cases, the Share Price
shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Shares on the 10 consecutive Trading
Days up to but excluding the Effective Date.

     The Share Prices set forth in the first row of the table (i.e., the column headers) will be
adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted. The adjusted Share
Prices will equal the Share Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving
rise to the Share Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so
adjusted. In addition, the number of Additional Shares will be subject to adjustment in the same
manner as the Conversion Rate in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 hereof.

     The following table sets forth the Share Price and number of Additional Shares to be received
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes:

Share Price

     The exact Share Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table, in which case:

     (a) if the Share Price is between two Share Price amounts in the table or the Effective
Date is between two dates in the table, the Additional Shares will be determined by
straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher
and lower Share Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

     (b) if the Share Price is equal to or in excess of $50.00 per Common Share (subject to
adjustment as specified in the second preceding paragraph), no Additional Shares will be
delivered upon a conversion of Notes; and

     (c) if the Share Price is less than $12.85 per Common Share (subject to adjustment as
specified in the second preceding paragraph), no Additional Shares will be delivered upon a
conversion of Notes.

14

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of Common Shares deliverable
upon a conversion of Notes exceed 77.8210 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to
adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof.

     Section 2.11. Conversion Rights.

     Subject to the restrictions on ownership of the Common Shares as set forth in Section 2.16
hereof and to the conditions set forth herein, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion for
cash and, if applicable, Common Shares (or, at the election of the Company in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.12 hereof, cash in lieu of such Common Shares) at the applicable Conversion
Rate prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding May 15, 2040 only under the
circumstances set forth in this Section 2.11. On or after May 15, 2040 until the close of business
on the second Business Day preceding the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Notes, Holders may
convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the circumstances set forth in this Section 2.11.

     (a) Conversion upon Satisfaction of Market Price Condition. A Holder may surrender any of its
Notes for conversion during any fiscal quarter beginning after December 31, 2010 (and only during
such fiscal quarter) if, and only if, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares for at least 20
Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on
the last Trading Day of the preceding fiscal quarter is more than 125% of the Conversion Price per
Common Share in effect on the applicable Trading Day. The Board of Directors of the Company shall
make appropriate adjustments, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the
Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate
where the ex-dividend date of the event occurs, during that 30 consecutive Trading Day period.

     (b) Conversion upon Satisfaction of Trading Price Condition. A Holder may surrender any of
its Notes for conversion during the five consecutive Trading Day period following any five
consecutive Trading Days in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (as
determined following a reasonable request by a Holder of the Notes) was less than 98% of the
product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares multiplied by the Conversion Rate.

     The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless the
Company shall have requested such determination, and the Company shall have no obligation to make
such request unless a Holder provides the Company with written reasonable evidence that the Trading
Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Closing
Sale Price of the Common Shares and the Conversion Rate, whereupon the Company shall instruct the
Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each
successive Trading Day until the Trading Price is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of
the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares and the Conversion Rate.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture (including,
but not limited to, the definition of Trading Price or this Section 2.11 hereof), the sole

15

 

method by which the Trustee shall determine the Trading Price shall be by the appointment by
the Trustee, at the cost and expense of the Company, of a bid solicitation agent that shall be an
independent nationally recognized investment banking firm to determine the Trading Price as
required by this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture. Such bid solicitation agent shall perform all
functions and duties that may be required of the Trustee herein in connection with or related
to the determination of a Trading Price. So long as the Trustee has exercised reasonable care in
the appointment of such bid solicitation agent, the Trustee shall not be liable for any negligent
acts or omissions, or misconduct, of such bid solicitation agent.

     (c) Conversion upon Notice of Redemption. A Holder may surrender for conversion any of the
Notes called for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day
prior to the Redemption Date, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time. The
right to convert Notes pursuant to this clause (c) will expire after the close of business on the
second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date unless the Company defaults in making the payment
due upon redemption. A Holder may convert fewer than all of its Notes so long as the Notes
converted are an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount and the remaining principal amount of
Notes is in an authorized denomination. However, if a Holder has already delivered a Purchase Notice or a Change in
Control Purchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for
conversion until it has withdrawn such notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Section 2.08 or 2.09 hereof, as the case may be.

     (d) Conversion upon Specified Transactions. If the Company elects to:

     (i) distribute to all holders of Common Shares rights entitling them to
purchase, for a period expiring within 45 days, Common Shares at less than the
Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day preceding the declaration
date of the distribution; or

     (ii) distribute to all holders of Common Shares assets, debt securities or
certain rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per
share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the
Trading Day preceding the declaration date of such distribution,

the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes in writing at least 45 days prior to the
ex-dividend date for such distribution. Following the giving of such notice, Holders may surrender
their Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the Business
Day immediately prior to the ex-dividend date or an announcement that such distribution will not
take place; provided, however, that a Holder may not exercise this right to convert if the Holder
may participate, on an as-converted basis (assuming for such purposes that the Notes are
convertible solely in Common Shares at the then applicable Conversion Rate), in the distribution
without a conversion of Notes. The ex-dividend date is the first date upon which a sale of the
Common Shares does not automatically transfer the right to receive the relevant distribution from
the seller of Common Shares to its buyer.

     In addition, if the Company is party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange
pursuant to which all of the Common Shares would be exchanged for cash, securities or other
property that is not otherwise a Change in Control, a Holder may surrender Notes for conversion

16

 

at any time from and including the date that is 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Date
of the transaction up to and including five Business Days after the actual date of such
transaction. The Company shall notify Holders as promptly as practicable following the date it
publicly announces such transaction (but in no event less than 15 Business Days prior to the
anticipated effective time of such transaction).

     If a Change in Control occurs as a result of a transaction described in clauses (1) or (2) of
the definition of “Change in Control”, a Holder will have the right to convert its Notes at any
time from and including the Effective Date of such transaction up to and including the 30th
Business Day following the Effective Date of the transaction, provided that, if a Holder has
already delivered a Change in Control Purchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not
surrender such Note for conversion until it has withdrawn such notice in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Section 2.09 hereof. The Company will notify Holders as promptly as
practicable following the date that it publicly announces such Change in Control (but in no event
later than five Business Days prior to the Effective Date of such Change in Control).

     (e) Conversion upon Delisting of the Common Shares. A Holder of Notes may surrender any of
its Notes for conversion at any time beginning on the first Business Day after the Common Shares
have ceased to be listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange for a 30 consecutive
Trading Day period.

     Section 2.12. Conversion Settlement. Upon conversion of Notes, the Company shall pay
cash up to the principal amount of such Notes and, to the extent that the conversion value
(calculated in the manner set forth in this Section 2.12) exceeds the principal amount of such
Notes, cash, Common Shares or a combination thereof (at the election of the Company) in respect of
the excess, all as set forth in this Section 2.12.

     Upon a conversion of Notes, the Company shall deliver, in respect of each $1,000 principal
amount of Notes being converted, a settlement amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement
Amounts for each of the 30 Trading Days during the Observation Period.

     The “Daily Settlement Amount,” for each of the 30 Trading Days during the Observation Period,
shall consist of:

     (a) cash equal to the lesser of (i) one-thirtieth of $1,000 and (ii) the Daily
Conversion Value (defined below); and

     (b) to the extent the Daily Conversion Value exceeds one-thirtieth of $1,000, a number
of Common Shares (the “Daily Share Amount”), subject to the Company’s right to pay cash in
lieu of all or a portion of such Common Shares as set forth herein, equal to (i) the
difference between the Daily Conversion Value and one-thirtieth of $1,000, divided by (ii)
the Daily VWAP (defined below) for such Trading Day.

     By the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the first Scheduled Trading Day
of the applicable Observation Period, the Company may specify a percentage of the Daily Share
Amount that will be settled in cash (the “Cash Percentage”) and the Company shall notify Holders of
Notes of such Cash Percentage by notifying the Trustee (the “Cash Percentage Notice”). If the
Company elects to specify a Cash Percentage, the amount of cash

17

 

that the Company shall deliver in lieu of all or the applicable portion of the Daily Share
Amount in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Observation Period will equal (i) the Cash
Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day (assuming the Company
had not specified a Cash Percentage), multiplied by (iii) the Daily VWAP for such Trading Day. The
number of Common Shares deliverable in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Observation
Period will be a percentage of the Daily Share Amount (assuming the Company had not specified a
Cash Percentage) equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage. If the Company does not specify a Cash
Percentage, the Company must settle the entire Daily Share Amount for each Trading Day in such
Observation Period in Common Shares (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares). The Company may, at
its option, revoke any Cash Percentage Notice in respect of any Observation Period by notifying the
Trustee; provided that the Company revokes such notice by the close of business on the Scheduled
Trading Day prior to the first Scheduled Trading Day of such Observation Period.

     “Daily Conversion Value” means, for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days during the
Observation Period, one-thirtieth of the product of (i) the applicable Conversion Rate and (ii) the
Daily VWAP of the Common Shares on such Trading Day.

     “Daily VWAP” means, for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days during the Observation Period,
the per share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on
Bloomberg page “DDR.N <equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not
available) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such
Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one
Common Share on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a
nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the
Company). Daily VWAP will be determined without regard to after hours trading or any other trading
outside of the regular trading session trading hours.

     “Observation Period” with respect to any Note means:

     (i) if the relevant Conversion Date occurs prior to May 15, 2040 (other than in the
case of a conversion following a notice of redemption as set forth in clause (ii) below),
the 30 consecutive Trading Day period beginning on and including the second Trading Day
after the Conversion Date;

     (ii) if the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after the date of issuance of a
notice of redemption in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07 hereof but prior to
the relevant Redemption Date, the 30 consecutive Trading Days beginning on and including the
32nd Scheduled Trading Day preceding such Redemption Date; and

     (iii) if the Conversion Date occurs on or after May 15, 2040, the 30 consecutive
Trading Days beginning on and including the 32nd Scheduled Trading Day preceding
November 15, 2040.

     For the purposes of determining payment upon conversion in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 2.12, “Trading Day” means a day during which (i) trading in Common Shares generally
occurs on the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange

18

 

or market on which Common Shares are listed or admitted for trading and (ii) there is no
Market Disruption Event.

     “Scheduled Trading Day” means a day that is scheduled to be a Trading Day on the principal
U.S. national or regional securities exchange or market on which Common Shares are listed or
admitted for trading.

     For the purposes of determining payment upon conversion in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 2.12, “Market Disruption Event” means (i) a failure by the principal U.S. national or
regional securities exchange or market on which Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading to
open for trading during its regular trading session or (ii) the occurrence or existence prior to
1:00 p.m. on any Trading Day for Common Shares for an aggregate one half hour period of any
suspension or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits
permitted by the stock exchange or otherwise) in Common Shares or in any options, contracts or
future contracts relating to Common Shares.

     The Company shall deliver the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 30 Trading
Days during the Observation Period to converting Holders on the third Business Day following the
last day of the Observation Period.

     The Company shall deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Common Share deliverable in
connection with payment of the settlement amount (based on the Closing Sale Price of Common Shares
on the last day of the applicable Observation Period).

     Section 2.13. Conversion Procedures. To convert Notes, a Holder must satisfy the
requirements set forth in this Section 2.13.

     To convert the Notes, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the irrevocable conversion
notice on the reverse of the Note (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and
deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent at the office maintained by the Conversion Agent for
such purpose, (b) with respect to Notes which are in certificated form, surrender the Notes to the
Conversion Agent, or, if the Notes are in book-entry form, comply with the appropriate procedures
of the Depositary, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the
Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required.
The date on which the Holder satisfies all such requirements shall be the “Conversion Date.”

     Notes in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice or a Change in Control
Purchase Notice may be converted only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of
Section 2.08 or 2.09, as the case may be.

     In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the Holder of the Note
so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of the surrendered Notes not surrendered for
conversion. A Holder may convert fewer than all of such Holder’s Notes so long as the Notes
converted are an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.

19

 

     Upon surrender of a Note for conversion by a Holder, such Holder shall deliver to the Company
cash equal to the amount that the Company is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law
in connection with the conversion; provided, however, if the Holder does not deliver such cash, the
Company may deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to such
Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

     Upon conversion of a Note, a Holder will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and
unpaid interest on such Note, except as specified in the
immediately following paragraph. Instead, upon a conversion of Notes, the Company will deliver to
the surrendering Holder only the consideration specified in Section 2.12. Delivery of cash and
Common Shares, if any, upon a conversion of Notes will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s
obligation to pay the principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest  thereon. Accordingly, upon a conversion of Notes, any accrued and unpaid
interest will be deemed paid in full rather than cancelled,
extinguished or forfeited. In no event will the Conversion Rate be adjusted to account for accrued
and unpaid interest on the Notes.

     Upon the conversion of Notes,
accrued interest thereon will be deemed to be paid by delivery of the consideration due to the converting Holder upon such conversion,
except that Holders of Notes  at the close of business on a Regular Record Date for an interest payment
will receive payment of interest payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding
the conversion of such Notes at any time after the close of business on the applicable Regular
Record Date. Notes surrendered for conversion by a Holder after the close of business on any
Regular Record Date for an interest payment and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment
Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest that such Holder is to
receive on such Notes on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that no such payment shall
be required to be made (1) if such Notes have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date that
is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date, or (2) with
respect to overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect
to such Notes.

     Upon conversion of a Note, the Company, if it
has not elected to deliver cash in lieu of Common Shares, if any, otherwise deliverable upon conversion, will pay
any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue or delivery of the Common Shares upon
such conversion unless the tax is due because the Holder requests the Common Shares to be issued or
delivered to a Person other than the Holder, in which case the Holder must pay the tax due prior to
the delivery of such Common Shares. Certificates representing Common Shares will not be issued or
delivered unless all taxes and duties, if any, payable by the Holder have been paid.

     A Holder of Notes, as such, shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Shares.
Such Holder shall only acquire such rights upon the delivery by the Company of Common Shares, if
any, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 upon a conversion of Notes by a Holder.

     If a Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the number of Common Shares, if any,
issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of the Notes surrendered
for conversion.

20

 

     The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Notes hereunder, and from time to time as may
be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of
Common Shares to permit the conversion of the Notes at the applicable Conversion Rate. Any Common
Shares delivered upon a conversion of Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall
be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive
rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

     The Company shall endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws
regulating the issuance and delivery of Common Shares, if any, upon a conversion of Notes and shall
cause to have listed or quoted all such Common Shares on each U.S. national securities exchange or
over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted.

     Except as set forth herein, no other payment or adjustment for interest shall be made upon
conversion of Notes.

     Section 2.14. Conversion Rate Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from
time to time as follows:

     (a) If the Company issues Common Shares as a dividend or distribution on Common Shares
to all holders of Common Shares, or if the Company effects a share split or share
combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 

	                         where
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
adjustment relating to such event
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR1

	 	=
	 	the new Conversion Rate in effect taking such event into account
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         OS0

	 	=
	 	the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior
to such event
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         OS1

	 	=
	 	the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after
such event.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (a) shall become effective on the date that is
immediately after (x) the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution or (y) the date on which such split or
combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in
this clause (a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be

21

 

readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared.

     (b) If the Company issues to all holders of Common Shares any rights, warrants, options
or other securities entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of
issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, or if the Company issues to all
holders of Common Shares securities convertible into Common Shares for a period of not more
than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof, in either case at an exercise price per
Common Share or a conversion price per Common Share less than the Closing Sale Price of the
Common Shares on the Business Day preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, the
Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 

	                         where
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR0 

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
adjustment relating to such event
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR1

	 	=
	 	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         OS0

	 	=
	 	the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior
to such event
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         X

	 	=
	 	the total number of Common Shares issuable
pursuant to such rights, warrants, options, other securities or
convertible securities
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         Y

	 	=
	 	the number of Common Shares equal to the
quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights,
warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities and
(B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Shares for the
10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day preceding the
date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants,
options, other securities or convertible securities.

For purposes of this clause (b), in determining whether any rights, warrants, options, other
securities or convertible securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase, or
exercise a conversion right for, Common Shares at less than the applicable Closing Sale
Price of the Common Shares, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price
payable for such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received
by the Company for such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible
securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such
consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company. If any right, warrant, option, other security or convertible

22

 

security described in this clause (b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration
of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted
to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant, option, other
security or convertible security had not been so issued.

     (c) If the Company distributes capital shares, evidences of indebtedness or other
assets or property of the Company to all holders of Common Shares, excluding:

     (i) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants, options, other securities or
convertible securities referred to in clause (a) or (b) above,

     (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, and

     (iii) Spin-Offs described below in this clause (c),

then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 

	                         where
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
adjustment relating to such event
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR1

	 	=
	 	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         SP0

	 	=
	 	the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading
Day preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         FMV

	 	=
	 	the fair market value (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the capital shares,
evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect
to each outstanding Common Share on the earlier of the record date or
the ex-dividend date for such distribution.

     An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding
clause shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall
become effective on the ex-dividend date for such distribution.

     If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Shares capital shares of any
class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other
business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately
before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of holders of Common
Shares entitled to receive such distribution will be adjusted based on the following
formula:

23

 

	 	 	 	 	 

	                         where
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
adjustment relating to such event
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR1

	 	=
	 	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         FMV0

	 	=
	 	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital
shares or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common
Shares applicable to one Common Share over the first 10 consecutive
Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         MP0

	 	=
	 	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Shares
over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of
the Spin-Off.

     An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding
clause will occur on the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the
Spin-Off.

     If any such dividend or distribution described in this clause (c) is declared but not
paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

     (d) If the Company pays or makes any cash dividend or distribution in respect of any of
its quarterly fiscal periods (without regard to when paid) to all holders of Common Shares
in an aggregate amount that, together with other cash dividends or distributions made in
respect of such quarterly fiscal period, exceeds the product of $0.02 (the “Reference
Dividend”) multiplied by the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for such
distribution, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 

	                         where
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
adjustment relating to such event
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR1

	 	=
	 	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

24

 

	 	 	 	 	 

	                         SP0

	 	=
	 	the Closing Sale Price of Common Shares on the Trading Day
preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         C

	 	=
	 	the amount in cash per Common Share that the
Company distributes to holders of Common Shares in respect of such
quarterly fiscal period that exceeds the Reference Dividend.

     An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (d) shall become
effective on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or
distribution described in this clause (d) is declared but not so paid or made, the new
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if
such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

     The Reference Dividend shall be subject to adjustment on account of any of the events
set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above and clause (e) below. Any such adjustment will
be effected by multiplying the Reference Dividend by a fraction, the numerator of which will
equal the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment on account of such
event and the denominator of which will equal the Conversion Rate as adjusted.

     (e) If the Company or any of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender
offer or exchange offer for Common Shares to the extent that the cash and value of any other
consideration included in the payment per Common Share exceeds the Closing Sale Price of a
Common Share on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges
may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), the
Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 

	                         where
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
adjustment relating to such event
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         CR1

	 	=
	 	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         AC

	 	=
	 	the aggregate value of all cash and any other
consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company)
paid or payable for Common Shares purchased in such tender or exchange
offer
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         OS0

	 	=
	 	the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior
to the date such tender or exchange offer expires

25

 

	 	 	 	 	 

	                         OS1

	 	=
	 	the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after
such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the
purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange
offer)
	 
	 	 	 	 
	                         SP1

	 	=
	 	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Shares for
the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next
succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

     If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the
Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made.

     Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (e) shall become
effective on the date immediately following the determination of the average of the Closing
Sale Prices of Common Shares for purposes of SP1 above. If the Company or one of
its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Shares pursuant to any such tender or
exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such
purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to
be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been
made.

     (f) [RESERVED]

     (g) If the Company has in effect a rights plan while any Notes remain Outstanding,
Holders of Notes will receive, upon a conversion of Notes in respect of which the Company is
required to deliver Common Shares, in addition to such Common Shares, rights under the
Company’s shareholder rights agreement unless, prior to conversion, the rights have expired,
terminated or been redeemed or unless the rights have separated from the Common Shares. If
the rights provided for in the rights plan adopted by the Company have separated from the
Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights
agreement so that Holders of Notes would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of
Common Shares, if any, that the Company is required to deliver upon conversion of Notes, the
Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed
to all holders of Common Shares capital shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or
property pursuant to clause (c) above, subject to readjustment upon the subsequent
expiration, termination or redemption of the rights.

     In addition to the adjustments pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above, the Company
may increase the Conversion Rate in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of
Common Shares resulting from any dividend or distribution of capital shares (or rights to
acquire Common Shares) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The
Company may also, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the
Conversion Rate by any amount for any period if the Company has determined that such
increase would be in the best interests of the Company. If the Company makes such
determination, it will be conclusive and the Company will mail to Holders of the Notes a
notice of the increased Conversion Rate and

26

 

the period during which it will be in effect at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect in accordance with applicable law.

     If, in connection with any adjustment to the Conversion Rate as set forth in this
Section 2.14 a Holder shall be deemed for U.S. federal tax purposes to have received a
distribution, the Company may set off any withholding tax it reasonably believes it is
required to collect with respect to any such deemed distribution against cash payments of
interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof or from cash and Common
Shares, if any, otherwise deliverable to a Holder upon a conversion of Notes in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.12 hereof or a redemption or repurchase of a Note in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07, 2.08 or 2.09 hereof.

     The Company will not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes
are permitted to participate, on an as-converted basis, in the transactions described above.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in addition to the other
events set forth herein on account of which no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be
made, the applicable Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted for:

     (i) the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any present or future plan
providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the
Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Shares under any
plan;

     (ii) the issuance of any Common Shares or options or rights to purchase those
shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit
plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Company;

     (iii) the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right,
or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the
Notes were first issued;

     (iv) a change in the par value of the Common Shares;

     (v) accumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions; and

     (vi) as a result of a tender offer solely to holders of fewer than 100 Common
Shares.

     Adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of
a share. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless the adjustment would require
an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate. If the adjustment is not made
because the adjustment does not change the Conversion Rate by at least 1%, then the adjustment that
is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments not previously made will be given effect with
respect to any conversion of Notes.

27

 

     Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall, as promptly as
reasonably practicable, file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee, an
Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such
certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting
forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and
shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the Holders of the Notes within
20 Business Days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall
not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

     For purposes of this Section 2.14, the number of Common Shares at any time outstanding shall
not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect
of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Shares.

     Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.14 to the contrary, in no event shall the
Conversion Rate be adjusted so that the Conversion Price would be less than $0.01.

	 	 	Section 2.15. Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale.

     (a) If any of the following events occur:

     (i) any recapitalization or reclassification of, or change in, the Common Shares (other
than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or a change in par value);

     (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company; or

     (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of
the Company and its subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or

     (iv) any statutory share exchange;

in each case as a result of which all of the Common Shares would be
converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof)
(any such event, a “Merger Event”), then at the effective time of such Merger Event, the
Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a
supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of
execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that at and after the effective time of such
Merger Event, the right to convert a Note will be changed into a right to convert such Note as set
forth in this Indenture into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other
property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number
of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been
entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property”
meaning the type and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one Common Share is entitled to
receive) upon such Merger Event; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the
Merger Event the conversion obligation shall be calculated and settled in accordance with
Section 2.12 such that (i) the amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion

28

 

of the Notes as set forth under Section 2.12 will continue to be payable in cash, (ii) the number
of Common Shares (if the Company does not elect to pay cash in lieu of all such shares) deliverable
upon conversion of the Notes under Section 2.12 will be instead deliverable in the amount and type
of Reference Property that a holder of that number of Common Shares would have been entitled to
receive in such Merger Event and (iii) the Daily VWAP and the Closing Sale Price will be calculated based on the value of a
unit of Reference Property.

     If, as a result of the Merger Event, each Common Share is converted into the right to receive
more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder
election), then (x) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible will be deemed
to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of
Common Shares that affirmatively make such an election, and (y) the unit of Reference Property for
purposes of the foregoing sentence shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause
(x) attributable to one Common Share.

     The Company shall not become a party to any such Merger Event unless its terms are consistent
with this Section 2.15. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein in the judgment of
the Board of Directors or the board of directors of the successor Person. If, in the case of any
such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease,
other transfer or statutory share exchange, the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder
of Common Shares includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash
or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case
may be, in such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale,
lease, other transfer or statutory share exchange, then such supplemental indenture shall also be
executed by such other Person.

     (b) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be
mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Notes
maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice
shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of
this Section 2.15 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations,
mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 2.15 applies to any Merger Event,
Section 2.14 shall not apply.

     Section 2.16. Ownership Limit; Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Notes or the instructions contained herein, no Holder of Notes shall be entitled to convert
such Notes for Common Shares to the extent that receipt of such shares would cause such Holder
(together with such Holder’s affiliates) to exceed the ownership limit contained in the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company as in effect from time to time.

     At the Maturity of the principal of the Notes, whether at Stated Maturity or upon earlier
redemption or repurchase of Notes or otherwise, and upon any date upon which interest is payable on the Notes, and as otherwise required by law, the Company may
deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to such Holder the
amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

     Section 2.17. Merger, Consolidation or Sale.

29

 

     Section 801 of the Indenture, for purposes of the Notes, is hereby modified and amended to
include the following additional proviso:

     “(iii) if as a result of such transaction the Notes become exchangeable into common
stock or other securities issued by a third party, such third party shall assume or fully
and unconditionally guarantee all obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.”

     Section 2.18. Satisfaction and Discharge.

     (a) The satisfaction and discharge provisions set forth in this Section 2.18 shall, with
respect to the Notes, supersede the entirety of ARTICLE FOUR of the Original Indenture, and all
references in the Original Indenture to ARTICLE FOUR thereof and satisfaction and discharge
provisions therein, as the case may be, shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be
references to this Section 2.18 and the satisfaction and discharge provisions set forth in this
Section 2.18, respectively.

     When (i) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes theretofore
authenticated (other than any Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in
substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore
canceled, or (ii) all the Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation shall have become due and payable (whether at Stated Maturity for the payment of the
principal amount thereof, on any Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date
or following the last day of the applicable Observation Period upon conversion or otherwise) and
the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, or deliver to the Holders, as applicable,
cash funds and Common Shares, as applicable, sufficient to pay all amounts due (and Common Shares
deliverable following conversion, if applicable) on all of such Notes (other than any Notes that
shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which
other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due, and if the Company shall also
pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then the Indenture shall
cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes (except as to (A) rights hereunder of
Holders of the Notes to receive all amounts owing upon the Notes and the other rights, duties and
obligations of Holders of the Notes, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any,
so deposited with the Trustee and (B) the obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any
predecessor Trustee under Section 606 of the Indenture and the obligations of the Company to any
Authenticating Agent under Section 611 of the Indenture), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
Company Order accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (each stating that
all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge
of the Indenture as to the Notes have been complied with) and at the cost and expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture with respect to the Notes.

     (b) Subject to Section 2.18(d), all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
2.18(a) shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Holders of the Notes, and such monies
shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the

30

 

particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been deposited with
the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest, if any.

     (c) Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies then held by any Paying
Agent of the Notes (other than the Trustee) shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, be repaid to it
or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such monies.

     (d) Subject to the requirements of applicable law, any monies deposited with or paid to the
Trustee for payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes and not applied but
remaining unclaimed by the Holders of the Notes for two years after the date upon which the
principal of or interest, if any, on such Notes, as the case may be, shall have become due and
payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand and all liability of the Trustee
shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies; and the Holder of any of the Notes shall
thereafter look only to the Company for any payment that such Holder of the Notes may be entitled
to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

     (e) If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section
2.18(b) by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under the Notes
and the Indenture with respect to the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit
had occurred pursuant to 2.18(a) until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money in accordance with Section 2.18(b); provided, however, that if the Company
makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive
such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

     (f) The provisions of ARTICLE FOURTEEN of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.

     Section 2.19. Events of Default; Waiver of Past Defaults.

     (a) Section 501 of the Indenture is modified and amended for purposes of the Notes to add the
following Events of Default as clauses (9) and (10):

     “(9) default in the delivery when due of the amounts owing upon conversion, on the
terms set forth herein and in the Notes, upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right in
accordance with the terms hereof and of the Notes and the continuation of such default for
10 days;”

 - and -

     “(10) failure of the Company to provide a Company Notice within 20 days after the
occurrence of a Change in Control as provided in Section 2.09 of the Twelfth Supplemental
Indenture.”

31

 

     (b) Clause five of Section 501 of the Indenture is modified and amended for purposes of the
Notes to read as follows :

     “if any event of default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of
indebtedness of the Company (including an Event of Default with respect to any other series
of Securities), or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument of the Company under
which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness of
the Company (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company has guaranteed or for
which the Company is directly responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), whether such
indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, shall happen and shall result in an
aggregate principal amount exceeding $25,000,000 becoming or being declared due and payable
prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such
indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having been waived, rescinded or
annulled, within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or
certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the
Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes Outstanding a written notice
specifying such event of default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be
discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such
notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder. Subject to the provisions of Section 601, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such event of default unless either (A) a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such event of default or
(B) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, from any
Holder, from the holder of any such indebtedness or from the trustee under any such
mortgage, indenture or other instrument; or”

     (c) Section 502 of the Indenture is modified and amended with respect to the Notes to add the
following as the final two paragraphs thereto:

     “Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent elected by the Company, the sole remedy
for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations
under Section 2.25 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture or for any failure to comply with
the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, will for the first
365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right
to receive special interest (“Special Interest”) on the Notes at an annual rate equal to
0.50% of the principal amount of the Notes. This Special Interest shall be payable
semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest
Payment Date following the date on which such Special Interest shall have begun to accrue on
the Notes. Special Interest shall accrue on all Outstanding Notes from and including the
date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the reporting
obligations in Section 2.25 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture or the requirements of
Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act first occurs to but not including the 365th day
thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived). On such 365th day (or earlier, if such Event of Default is cured or waived prior to
such 365th day), such Special Interest shall cease to accrue and, if the Event of Default
relating to reporting obligations has not been cured or waived prior to such 365th day, the
Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in the first

32

 

paragraph of this Section 502. The provisions of the Indenture described in this
paragraph shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other
Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Special Interest upon an
Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph, the Notes shall be subject to
acceleration as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 502.

     If the Company elects to pay Special Interest in connection with an Event of Default
relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations under Section 2.25 of the
Twelfth Supplemental Indenture or for any failure to comply with the requirements of
Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the preceding
paragraph, the Company shall notify all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent of
such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default
first occurs.”

     (d) Section 508 of the Indenture is modified and amended for purposes of the Notes to read as
follows:

     “Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall
have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of,
and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and amounts owing upon conversion in
respect of, such Note on the respective due dates expressed in such Note (or, in the case of
redemption on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.”

     (e) Section 513 of the Indenture is modified and amended for purposes of the Notes to add the
following as clause (3):

     (3) “in respect of the failure to convert any Notes in accordance with their terms.”

     Section 2.20. Modification. Section 902 of the Indenture is modified for purposes of
the Notes to add the following as clauses (4) and (5):

     “(4) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the payment and delivery
of amounts owing upon conversion of the Notes; or

     (5) make any change that impairs or adversely affects the rights of a Holder to convert
Notes in accordance with the terms hereof and the Notes; or”

     Section 2.21. Certain Covenants Not Applicable to the Notes. The Notes shall not be
entitled to the benefits of the covenants set forth in Sections 1004 through 1011, inclusive, and
Section 1015 of the Indenture.

     Section 2.22. Calculations in Respect of the Notes. Except as otherwise specifically
stated herein or in the Notes, all calculations to be made in respect of the Notes shall be the
obligation of the Company. All calculations made by the Company or its agent as contemplated
pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Notes shall be made in good faith and be final and binding
on the Company and the Holders absent manifest error. The Company shall provide a schedule of

33

 

calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of
the calculations by the Company without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward
calculations made by the Company to any Holder of Notes upon written request within 20 Business
Days after the effective date of any adjustment.

     Section 2.23. Authorized Denominations. The Notes shall be issued in denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples thereof and payments of principal and interest on the Notes shall be
made in U.S. dollars.

     Section 2.24. Conversion Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Registrar. U.S. Bank
National Association, is hereby appointed as Conversion Agent, Paying Agent and the Security
Registrar for the Notes. The Security Register for the Notes will be maintained by the Security
Registrar at the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities
and benefits given to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, including, without limitation, its
right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Conversion
Agent, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar.

     Section 2.25. Provision of Financial Information. The Company, for so long as any
Notes are Outstanding, within 15 days after it is required to file the same with the Commission,
will file with the Trustee all annual, quarterly and other reports that it may be required to file
with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Delivery of such
reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with
any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an
Officers’ Certificate). If the Company is not required to file the foregoing forms or reports with
the Commission, then it will file with the Trustee and the Commission such reports as may be
prescribed by the Commission at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee agrees that
the Company shall be deemed to have furnished such information referred to in this Section 2.25 to
the Trustee if the Company shall have filed such reports with the Commission via the EDGAR filing
system (or any successor system) and such reports and other information are publicly available.

     Section 2.26. Special Interest Notice. In the event that the Company shall have
elected to pay Special Interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19(c), the Company
will provide written notice (“Special Interest Notice”) to the Trustee of its election to pay
Special Interest no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the proposed payment date for
Special Interest, and the Special Interest Notice shall set forth the amount of Special Interest to
be paid by the Company on such payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty
or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Special Interest, or with respect to the
nature, extent or calculation of the amount of Special Interest when made, or with respect to the
method employed in such calculation of the Special Interest.

DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION

1.75% Convertible Senior Note due 2040

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes, debentures, bonds, or other evidences of
indebtedness of the Company (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter
specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1994
(as amended and supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 10, 1995, by a Second
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 18, 2003, by a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
January 23, 2004, by a Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 22, 2004, by a Fifth

as of November 5, 2010, and as further amended and supplemented from time to time, the
“Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, an Ohio
corporation (the “Company”), to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of
which this Note is a part), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, and all modifications
and amendments and indentures supplemental thereto relating to the Notes, for a description of the
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the
Company, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are authenticated and
delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be
issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may accrue interest
(if any) at different rates or formulas and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This
Note is one of a series of Securities designated as the “1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2040”
of the Company, initially limited (except as permitted under the Indenture) in aggregate principal
amount to $350,000,000. Terms used herein without definition and which are defined in the
Indenture have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

1. INTEREST

     The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum from November 5, 2010 or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, as the case may be, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of
each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on May 15, 2011, until the principal
hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. Interest payable on each Interest Payment Date
shall equal the amount of interest accrued for the period commencing on and including the
preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly
provided for (or commencing on and including November 5, 2010, if no interest has been paid or duly
provided for) and ending on and including the day preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a

A - 4 

 

360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Special Interest shall be payable in respect
of the Notes in the manner and to the extent specified in the Indenture.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT

     Except as provided in the Indenture, the Company shall pay interest on the Notes to the
Persons who are Holders of record of Notes at the close of business (whether or not a Business Day)
on the May 1 and November 1 preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (each, a
“Regular Record Date”). Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent and comply with the other
terms of the Indenture to collect the principal amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change
in Control Purchase Price of the Notes, plus, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest payable as
herein provided at maturity, upon redemption by the Company or repurchase at the Holder’s option.
The Company shall pay, in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender
for payment of public and private debts, all amounts due in cash with respect to the Notes on the
dates and in the manner provided in this Note and the Indenture.

3. PAYING AGENT, CONVERSION AGENT AND SECURITY REGISTRAR

     Initially, the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Security Registrar.
The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York as the office to be maintained by it where this Note may be
presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange, where notices or demands to or upon
the Company in respect of this Note or the Indenture may be served and where the Notes may be
surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6 hereof and the
Indenture. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Security
Registrar or co-registrar or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts
without notice, other than notice to the Trustee.

4. REDEMPTION BY THE COMPANY

     On and after November 20, 2015, the Company may redeem the Notes then Outstanding, in whole or
in part, at the Redemption Price. Prior to November 20, 2015, if the Company determines it is
necessary to redeem the Notes for cash in order to preserve the status of the Company as a real
estate investment trust, the Company may redeem the Notes then Outstanding, in whole or in part, at
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid interest accrued thereon to
but excluding the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). The Notes are not otherwise redeemable
at the option of the Company prior to November 20, 2015.

     Notice of any such redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered
address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but
only in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount.

5. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER

     (a) If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Stated Maturity, a Holder shall have the right,
at such Holder’s option and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, to require

A - 5 

 

the Company to repurchase all or any of such Holder’s Notes having a principal amount equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof on the date (the “Change in Control Purchase Date”)
specified by the Company in the Company Notice (which date shall be no earlier than 15 days and no
later than 35 days after the date of such Company Notice) for cash equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus unpaid interest accrued thereon to but excluding the
Change in Control Purchase Date (the “Change in Control Purchase Price”).

     (b) On November 15, 2015, November 15, 2020, November 15, 2025, November 15, 2030 and November
15, 2035 (each, a “Purchase Date”), a Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option and
subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase all or
any of such Holder’s Notes having a principal amount equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus unpaid
interest accrued thereon to but excluding the Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”).

     (c) Holders have the right to withdraw any Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase
Notice by delivery to the Paying Agent of a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture.

     (d) If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, money sufficient
to pay the Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price of such Notes on the Purchase Date or
Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, then, on and after such date, such Notes shall
cease to be Outstanding and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue, and all other rights of
the Holder shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Purchase Price or Change in Control
Purchase Price upon delivery or transfer of the Notes).

6. CONVERSION

     The Notes shall be convertible into the consideration specified in the Indenture at such
times, upon compliance with such conditions and upon the terms set forth in the Indenture.

     The initial Conversion Rate shall be 61.0361 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of
Notes, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as specified in the Indenture. Notes
tendered for conversion by a Holder after the close of business on any Regular Record Date for an
interest payment and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by
payment of an amount equal to the interest that such Holder is to receive on such Notes on such
Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that no such payment shall be required (1) if such Notes
have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on
or prior to such Interest Payment Date, or (2) with respect to overdue interest, if any overdue
interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Notes.

     The Conversion Rate applicable to each Note a notice of conversion in respect of which is
received by the Conversion Agent from and including the Effective Date of a Change in Control
resulting from a transaction described in clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of Change in Control
up to and including the 30th Business Day following the Effective Date of such Change in Control
shall be increased by the number of Additional Shares specified in the Indenture.

A - 6 

 

     To convert this Note, the Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the irrevocable
conversion notice set forth below (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and
deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent at the office maintained by the Conversion Agent for
such purpose, (b) if this Note is in certificated form, surrender such Note to the Conversion
Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion
Agent, the Company or the Trustee and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date on
which the Holder satisfies all such requirements shall be deemed to be the date on which this Note
shall have been surrendered for conversion.

     If the Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice requiring
the Company to repurchase all or a portion of this Note pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof, then this
Note (or portion hereof subject to such Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice) may
be converted only if the Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

7. RANKING

     The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and shall rank pari passu in right
of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company from time to time
outstanding.

8. DEFAULTED INTEREST

     Except as otherwise specified herein or in the Indenture, any Defaulted Interest on this Note
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder hereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by
virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company as
provided for in Section 307 of the Indenture.

A - 7

therewith. In the event of any redemption in part, the Company shall not be required to: (i) issue

Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected
thereby (voting together as a single class). The Indenture also provides that certain amendments
or modifications may not be made without the consent of each Holder to be affected thereby.
Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of a majority in the aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on
behalf of all of the Holders of Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive

notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of not less than
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, may declare the principal
amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, of all the Notes to be due and payable or in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an
Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations under Section
2.25 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture or for any failure to comply with the requirements of
Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, will for the first 365 days after the occurrence of
such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive special interest on the Notes
at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Notes, in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture.

or substantially all of the assets of the Company, as described in ARTICLE EIGHT of the Indenture,
the successor entity to the Company shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company and may
exercise the rights and powers of the Company under the Indenture, and thereafter, except in the
case of a lease, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture
and the Notes.

14. CERTAIN COVENANTS NOT TO APPLY

     The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefits of the covenants set forth in Sections 1004
through 1011, inclusive, and Section 1015 of the Indenture.

15. TRUSTEE AND AGENT DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY

     The Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Securities Registrar under the Indenture, each
in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise
deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise
deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.

     Except as otherwise specifically stated herein or in the Indenture, all calculations to be
made in respect of the Notes shall be the obligation of the Company. All calculations made by the
Company or its agent as contemplated pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Indenture shall be
final and binding on the Company and the Holders absent manifest error. The Company shall provide a
schedule of calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the
accuracy of the calculations by the Company without independent verification. The Trustee shall
forward calculations made by the Company to any Holder of Notes upon written request.

Exhibit 10.34

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 

     This Separation Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this 20th day of
December, 2010, by and between JOAN U. ALLGOOD, your heirs, executors, successors and
administrators (“YOU” or “YOUR” or “YOURSELF”) and DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION, its
predecessors, current and former subsidiaries, divisions, related entities and affiliates and all
of their current and former Boards, owners, officers, trustees, directors, members, shareholders,
agents, representatives, employees, employee benefit plans, insurers, attorneys and their
successors and assigns(collectively referred to hereafter as “DDR”). (YOU and DDR are each
sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” or the “Parties”).

     DDR and YOU have agreed that YOUR employment with DDR will terminate on the Separation Date
(as defined below). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated
as of December 29, 2008, between YOU and DDR (the “Employment Agreement”), the termination of YOUR
employment with DDR will be designated a termination without cause (in accordance with Section
5(a)(iii) of the Employment Agreement) and YOU acknowledge that DDR has provided YOU with
ninety-days’ notice or YOU have hereby waived any applicable ninety-days’ notice requirement under
the Employment Agreement. YOU will be deemed to have resigned from all offices and directorships
with DDR as of the Separation Date, except that, upon DDR’s request and YOUR agreement, YOU may
serve after the Separation Date as a Responsible Manager of EDT Australian Services Pty. Limited
for such period of time as may be requested by DDR.

 

 

     Under the terms of this Agreement, DDR and YOU further agree as follows:

     1. Separation. YOUR employment with DDR will terminate on January 31, 2011 (the
“Separation Date”). YOUR final day of employment is the Separation Date, and any benefits provided
to YOU pursuant to YOUR employment with DDR shall cease as of the Separation Date unless otherwise
specifically provided at law or under this Agreement, or under any other DDR agreement that
provides for benefits to be provided to YOU following termination of YOUR employment.

     2. Terms.

     A. As consideration for this Agreement, YOU shall receive severance pay in the total
gross amount of $1,800,000, assuming the Revocation Period (as defined in Section 16) has
lapsed without YOU revoking this Agreement. Of this amount, $1,251,000 shall be paid in a
single lump-sum cash payment, less applicable withholding, within three (3) business days
following the expiration of the Revocation Period. The remaining $549,000 shall be paid in
a single lump-sum cash payment, less applicable withholding, on the first business day of
the seventh month after the Separation Date, provided that if YOU die before such date, such
amount shall be paid as soon as administratively possible to your estate.

     B. YOU shall be entitled to receive a payment of $122,000, which represents YOUR bonus
compensation actually earned by YOU for the 2010 fiscal year in a lump sum payment, less all
applicable deductions, on the same date as it would have been paid if the Separation Date
had not occurred, but in any event not later than March 15, 2011.

2

 

     C. The Separation Date shall be considered a “qualifying event” for purposes of
triggering YOUR right to continue YOUR group health and dental benefits pursuant to federal
law (commonly referred to as “COBRA”). As such, YOUR enrollment in DDR’s group health
insurance will cease as of January 31, 2011. If YOU properly make your election and timely
provide a copy of YOUR election form to DDR, DDR shall pay for YOUR COBRA benefits for YOU
and YOUR eligible dependents from February 1, 2011 through the earlier of (i) July 31, 2012,
or (ii) the day YOU become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance benefits
through another employer.

     Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, DDR shall consider, but not be
obligated, to amend its group health insurance plan before August 1, 2012 in a manner to
provide coverage for certain former DDR employees for a period of time beyond July 31,
2012(“Former Employee Coverage”). If DDR elects to make such an amendment to its group
health insurance plan, then DDR shall include YOU and your spouse as a member of this class
being offered Former Employee Coverage, which you may elect at YOUR option until the earlier
of (i) YOU are employed by another employer, or (ii) such coverage terminates per its terms.
However, DDR makes no representation as to scope or terms of such coverage, if any,
including but not limited to terms, conditions and exclusions, period of coverage, cost,
etc. YOU acknowledge that any such coverage will be at YOUR sole cost and expense from and
after January 31, 2013 and will be available only until YOU are employed by another
employer.

3

 

     If as of August 1, 2012, YOU do not have Former Employee Coverage and YOU have not
become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance benefits from another
employer, DDR will provide YOU with a monthly cash payment equal to the monthly amount
being contributed by DDR as of July 31, 2012 for the continuation of benefits for YOU and
YOUR spouse under COBRA through the earlier of (i) January 31, 2013; or (ii) the first day
of the month on which YOU become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance
benefits through another employer.

     The reimbursements of health and dental expenses under this Section shall be subject to
the provisions that: (i) any reimbursement of eligible health and/or dental expenses under
DDR health and dental benefits coverages will be paid within 30 days following YOUR written
request for such reimbursement, provided that YOU provide such written notice no later than
60 days before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which said
expenses were incurred so that DDR can make the reimbursement within the time periods
required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii) the amount
of health and/or dental expenses eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year will
not affect the amount of health and/or dental expenses eligible for reimbursement during any
other calendar year; and (iii) the right to reimbursement will not be subject to liquidation
or exchange for any other benefit. The health and dental benefits coverage that YOU and
YOUR family will receive through July 31, 2012 will be the same coverage YOU would have
received if you had remained as an active employee on or after the Separation Date and will
be

4

 

provided under the same terms as those applicable to DDR’s active employees, and
thereafter, such coverage will bet as set forth in this Agreement.

     D. The Separation Date shall not be extended as a result of any short- or long-term
disability, and YOU shall not be eligible for any disability benefits after the Separation
Date.

     E. YOU will receive payment for any accrued but unused Paid Time Off (PTO) days for
calendar year 2011 through the Separation Date as soon as administratively possible
following the Separation Date, but in no event more than 30 days following the Separation
Date.

     F. YOU shall have available to you 12 months of outplacement services (or similar
services, e.g. board placement services), which shall be paid directly by DDR to an
executive outplacement firm agreed to by both parties. In order to participate in this
benefit, you must engage the selected outplacement firm within thirty [30] days following
the Separation Date. These services will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any
other benefit.

     G. DDR will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, or
consultants engaged by YOU in an amount not to exceed $15,000 to review this Agreement
and/or to provide advice to YOU in connection with the execution of and receipt by YOU of
payments under this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) any
reimbursement of eligible expenses will be paid within 30 days following YOUR written
request for such reimbursement, provided that YOU provide such written notice no later than
60 days before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which said
expenses were

5

 

incurred so that DDR can make the reimbursement within the time periods required by
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii) the amount of expenses
eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses
eligible for reimbursement during any other calendar year; and (iii) the right to
reimbursement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

     H. YOU acknowledge the sufficiency of the consideration described above for YOUR
promises set forth herein including without limitation the Release detailed in Section 5 of
this Agreement. You further acknowledge that the payments, benefits and services described
in this Section 2 include (i) all amounts to which YOU would be entitled under the
Employment Agreement, subject to YOUR execution and non-revocation of this Agreement, and
(ii) additional payments, benefits or services substantially in excess of the amounts to
which YOU would be entitled under the Employment Agreement.

     3. Benefit Plans. YOU understand and agree that the applicable provisions of DDR
benefit plans to which YOU are a participant, including but not limited to DDR’s 401k Plan and
Nonqualified Deferred Comp Plan (as defined below), shall govern all benefits thereunder to which
you are entitled. YOU further understand and agree that the applicable provisions of the DDR plans
covering equity and incentive awards shall govern any equity and incentive awards previously
granted to YOU or to which YOU are entitled. In particular, YOU and DDR acknowledge that:

     A. YOU were granted 40,000 restricted DDR Common Shares under a 2009 Retention Award
Agreement with DDR and applicable DDR benefit plan

6

 

(the “Retention Restricted Shares”), that 10,000 of the Retention Restricted Shares
fully vested on December 31, 2009, that 10,000 of the Retention Restricted Shares will
become fully vested on December 31, 2010, and that 20,000 of the Retention Restricted Shares
will be unvested as of the Separation Date. All unvested Retention Restricted Shares will
not be forfeited by YOU as a result of the Separation Date, but instead all unvested
Retention Restricted Shares will remain outstanding and will continue to vest without any
risk of forfeiture according to the vesting schedule described in the 2009 Retention Award
Agreement and applicable DDR benefit plan, and as set forth on Exhibit E to this Agreement,
which is hereby incorporated into and made part of this Agreement;

     B. Pursuant to the terms of DDR’s Value Sharing Equity Program (“VSEP”), YOU may earn
and receive, on the date or dates provided for in the VSEP, Award Shares (as defined in the
VSEP, the “VSEP Award Shares”), in accordance with the provisions of the VSEP through the
Separation Date. Under the VSEP, all unvested VSEP Award Shares earned, held by YOU or that
YOU are entitled to receive under the VSEP through the Separation Date will not be forfeited
as a result of the Separation Date, but instead all unvested VSEP Award Shares will be
issued as provided in the VSEP and/or will remain outstanding and will continue to vest
without risk of forfeiture according to the vesting schedule described in the VSEP. YOU
received 24,375 VSEP Award Shares on July 31, 2010, of which 19,500 remain unvested, and YOU
will receive an additional award of VSEP Award Shares on January 31, 2011, one-fifth of
which

7

 

will vest immediately and four-fifths of which will be unvested. YOUR unvested VSEP
Award Shares shall vest as set forth on Exhibit E;

     C. YOU have previously been granted options with respect to DDR Common Shares as set
forth on Exhibit D pursuant to DDR’s equity-based award plans (the “Stock Options”). YOU
shall have 90 days from the Separation Date to exercise the Stock Options;

     D. YOU have previously been granted restricted DDR Common Shares as set forth on
Exhibit D pursuant to DDR’s equity-based award plans (the “Restricted Shares”). YOU shall
be entitled to receive all Restricted Shares which vest on or prior to the Separation Date
in accordance with the applicable equity-based award plans and award agreements, as
communicated to YOU by DDR;

     E. YOU are entitled to all rights to any amounts deferred pursuant to the DDR Elective
Deferred Compensation Plan (Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2004) (the “Nonqualified
Deferred Comp Plan”), including YOUR elective deferrals and all DDR matching amounts and the
right to take distributions in accordance with the provisions of the Nonqualified Deferred
Comp Plan; and

     F. YOU are entitled to all rights to any amounts deferred pursuant to the DDR 2005
Equity Deferred Compensation Plan (Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2009) (the
“Nonqualified Deferred Equity Plan”), including the right to take distributions in
accordance with the provisions of the Nonqualified

8

 

Deferred Equity Plan. YOU and DDR acknowledge that YOU have no current balance under
the Nonqualified Deferred Equity Plan.

     4. Application of Section 409A. Benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to
be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which is the law that
regulates severance pay. This Agreement shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner
that effects such intent, and DDR shall not take any action that would be inconsistent with such
intent. Without limiting the foregoing, the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement
may not be deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified in a manner that would result in
the imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A. Without intending to limit the
generality of the preceding provisions, YOU and DDR further acknowledge that the payment of
$1,251,000 described in Section 2.A. of this Agreement is intended to be exempt from Section 409A
as a short-term deferral and, to that end, have provided for payment to be made before March 15,
2011. Furthermore, the amount of $549,000 that is scheduled under Section 2.A above for payment in
2011 following the Separation Date (if YOU timely sign the Release and the Revocation Period
expires without YOU revoking the Release) will be paid as scheduled in 2011 notwithstanding the
fact that the Revocation Period will expire in 2010. Although DDR shall use its best efforts to
avoid the imposition of taxation, interest and penalties under Code Section 409A, the treatment of
the benefits provided under this Agreement under Code Section 409A is not warranted or guaranteed.
DDR shall not be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by
YOU or any other taxpayer under Code Section 409A as a result of this Agreement.

9

 

     5. Release. In consideration of the payments and benefits set forth above, to which
YOU are not otherwise entitled and the sufficiency of which YOU acknowledge, YOU agree to release
DDR (as defined above)from any and all claims that have arisen or may arise out of YOUR employment
with or separation from DDR, up to the date of this Agreement, whether now known or unknown,
including, but not limited to, all claims for compensation and fringe benefits; all claims of
wrongful discharge or constructive discharge; all claims of breach of express or implied contract
or promissory estoppel; all claims of breach of public policy or tort; all claims of defamation or
emotional distress; and all other claims under Ohio or federal law, including without limitation
any and all claims of discrimination, harassment or retaliation arising under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, or any other law, statute, code or ordinance
or under the common law (“Release”).

     Subject to applicable law, YOU also warrant that YOU have not filed or sued and will not sue
or file any actions against DDR with respect to claims covered by this Agreement.

     YOU recognize and understand that YOU are giving up the opportunity to obtain compensation,
damages, and other forms of relief for YOURSELF. This Agreement, however, is not intended to and
does not interfere with the right of any governmental agency to enforce laws or to seek relief that
may benefit the general public, or YOUR right to assist with or participate in that process. By
signing this Agreement, however, YOU waive any right to personally recover against DDR, and YOU
give up the opportunity to obtain compensation, damages or other forms of relief for YOURSELF other
than that provided in this Agreement. YOU are not, by this Release, waiving any

10

 

rights:(a) to continuing coverage as an insured under DDR’s directors and officers liability
insurance for acts or omissions during the period YOU were employed by DDR; (b) to indemnification
to the extent provided under YOUR Officer Indemnification Agreement, dated April 3, 2009; (c) to
all applicable insurance and indemnification available to YOU by EDT Retail Management Limited for
acts or omissions during any period that YOU serve as a Responsible Manager of EDT Australian
Services Pty. Ltd., if and to the extent you serve in such capacity pursuant to the second
paragraph of this Agreement; or (d) to the payments and benefits expressly set forth or referenced
in this Agreement; and this Release does not prohibit YOU and shall not be interpreted as
prohibiting YOU from taking any action to enforce such rights.

     6. Non-Disparagement; Reference. YOU agree that YOU will not, directly or indirectly,
defame, disparage or otherwise attempt to damage, or encourage any third party to defame, disparage
or otherwise attempt to damage, the name or reputation of DDR, its directors and executive officers
(as defined below). YOU further agree that you will not provide assistance to or consult with,
directly or indirectly, any former, current or future employee of DDR in connection with any claims
or disputes alleged by such employee against DDR, unless otherwise required by law. DDR agrees
that its directors and executive officers (i.e. Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, all
Senior Executive Vice Presidents, all Executive Vice Presidents, and all Senior Vice Presidents)
will not defame, disparage or otherwise attempt to damage, YOUR name or reputation, and DDR will
not encourage any third party to defame, disparage or otherwise attempt to damage, YOUR name or
reputation. If contacted by a prospective employer of YOURS, DDR will confirm YOUR dates of
employment and YOUR

11

 

positions at DDR. DDR will not disclose compensation information without YOUR prior written
authorization. Upon YOUR request, a positive reference regarding YOUR service to DDR and YOUR
character will be provided in a form mutually satisfactory to YOU and DDR. All reference requests
shall be directed to Human Resources.

     7. Non-Disclosure. YOU agree that YOU will not, nor will YOU cause any third party to,
divulge the terms of this Agreement (other than the fact that YOUR employment with DDR has been
terminated) to anyone, including, but not limited to, any present or former employee of DDR, the
news media, friends or acquaintances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, YOU and DDR agree that YOU
may disclose the terms of this Agreement to any governmental taxing authority, YOUR attorney, YOUR
healthcare providers (solely with respect to healthcare coverage issues) or YOUR accountant (solely
for the purposes of tax consultation and/or preparing an income tax return), YOUR immediate family
(defined as current spouse or significant other, parents, siblings and children), or in response to
any court order. With the exception of any disclosure made by YOU in response to any court order,
YOU shall be responsible for any disclosure forbidden under this Section which is made by a person
or entity to whom YOU are permitted to make such disclosure under the terms of this Section.

     8. Confidential Information/Trade Secrets. YOU acknowledge that YOU have had
knowledge of and access to information of a confidential or proprietary nature concerning the
business and affairs of DDR, including without limitation, information relating to DDR’s processes,
pricing, plans, financial information, leasing and development information, or DDR’s agreements
with tenants or suppliers, or listing of names, addresses, or telephone numbers, and other trade
secrets as defined under

12

 

Ohio law, all of which are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Trade Secrets.” YOU
acknowledge the competitive value and confidential nature of the Trade Secrets, and YOU recognize
and agree that the disclosure and/or improper use of such Trade Secrets will cause serious and
irreparable injury to DDR. Accordingly, YOU hereby further covenant and agree that YOU will not,
directly or indirectly, communicate, disclose or divulge to any person, firm or other party, or
use, for YOUR own benefit or the benefit of others, any Trade Secrets which YOU may know now or
hereafter come to know. Upon execution hereof, YOU shall deliver to DDR all Trade Secrets and
other confidential information, including any copies, in any format or media, then in YOUR
possession or under YOUR control.

     YOU further acknowledge that the remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this
Section 8 of the Agreement will be inadequate, that such breach will cause immediate, irreparable
harm to DDR, and therefore, DDR shall be entitled to immediate injunctive and other equitable
relief in addition to any other remedy it may have hereunder or otherwise.

     9. Application of Employment Agreement. This Agreement, including without limitation
the Release provisions, is being presented in accordance with and shall be deemed to fully satisfy
DDR’s obligations under the Employment Agreement, including Sections 5 and 6 of the Employment
Agreement. YOUR failure to execute and return this Agreement by December 20, 2010 relieves DDR of
any obligation to make any payments to YOU hereunder or otherwise comply with the terms of this
Agreement, including but not limited to, DDR’s offer to waive YOUR covenant not to compete in
Section 10 below.

13

 

     10. Continuation of Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Obligations; Waiver of Covenant
not to Compete. YOUR covenants and obligations, as more fully described in Section 7 of the
Employment Agreement, including without limitation YOUR non-solicitation covenant as provided for
in Section 7(b) of the Employment Agreement, remain in full force and effect; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, YOUR compliance
with YOUR covenant not to compete, as provided for in Section 7(a) (i) of the Employment Agreement,
is hereby waived by DDR. Additionally, YOUR obligations detailed in Section 9(b) of the Employment
Agreement remain in full force and effect, subject to Section 15 below. These obligations shall
survive, regardless of any other breach of this Agreement.

     11. Additional Acknowledgements. YOU acknowledge that the promises referred to in
Section 2 of this Agreement and the waiver by DDR of YOUR covenant not to compete referred to in
Section 10 of this Agreement are solely in exchange for the promises in this Agreement and are not
normally available to DDR’s employees. YOU further acknowledge that DDR’s agreement to pay and
provide the amounts described in Section 2 of this Agreement and the waiver by DDR of YOUR covenant
not to compete referred to in Section 10 of this Agreement do not constitute an admission by the
DDR Released Parties of liability or of violation of any applicable law or regulation. DDR states
that payment and its waiver of YOUR covenant not to compete has been provided solely for the
purpose of compromising any and all claims without the cost and burden of litigation and in light
of YOUR service as an employee and the parties’ desire to accomplish a mutually amicable

is found, by any court or governmental agency, to be unlawful or unenforceable, YOU and DDR have
the right to require both Parties to continue complying with the remaining provisions of this
Agreement or the Agreement as a whole as may be modified by the court. In the event of a breach of
this Agreement by YOU or DDR, either party may seek equitable or other relief and/or enforcement in
a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 20 hereof. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

     19. Disclaimer. YOU acknowledge that (a) neither this Agreement nor compliance with
its terms shall be construed as an admission by DDR of a violation of any statutory, contractual,
quasi-contractual, common law or other right of YOURS; and (b) neither this Agreement nor the fact
of its delivery to YOU shall be admissible in any proceeding as evidence of unlawful or improper
conduct by DDR. DDR expressly disclaims any liability to YOU arising out of YOUR employment,
separation of

17

 

employment and otherwise, except for DDR’s obligations (i) as provided in YOUR Employment
Agreement and pursuant to any applicable DDR benefit plan if this Agreement is not executed or is

accordance with Ohio law, that any action brought by any Party hereunder may be instituted and
maintained only in the appropriate court having jurisdiction over Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and that

EXHIBIT A

     Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (“DDR”) has determined to reduce its workforce due
to economic conditions. The decisional unit is comprised of all employees in the Corporate
Transactions and Governance division. In selecting those individuals in the decisional unit whose
employment will be terminated, DDR utilized the following criteria: DDR would not terminate those
employees it believes are best suited to perform the anticipated work of DDR in light of the
reduced workforce.

     All individuals who are being terminated have been selected for participation in the
separation program. All individuals who are being offered consideration must sign the Separation
Agreement to receive the consideration. Individuals over 40 years of age may take up to 45 days to
decide whether to sign the Separation Agreement, and may revoke within seven (7) days of signing
it.

     The job titles and dates of birth of all individuals in the decisional unit selected for
termination and participation in the program are set forth in Exhibit B. The job titles and dates
of birth of all individuals in the decisional unit who were not selected for termination and
participation in the program are set forth in Exhibit C.
