WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Agent and certain financial institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”) have entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents be amended in certain respects, and the Agent has approved such request;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements, representations and warranties herein set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Agent do hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.        Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein unless otherwise defined herein.

Section 2.        The Borrower has requested that a correction be made to the definition of Guarantor to replace Weingarten Golden State, Inc. with WRI Golden State, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

Section 4.        The Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in Article III of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of such date. The Borrower hereby certifies that no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or which upon the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default.

Section 5.        Except as expressly amended hereby, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. The Credit Agreement, as hereby amended, and all rights and powers created thereby or thereunder and under the other Loan Documents are in all respects ratified and confirmed and remain in full force and effect.

Section 8.        THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES BEFORE OR SUBSTANTIALLY CONTEMPORANEOUSLY WITH THE EXECUTION HEREOF TOGETHER CONSTITUTE A WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT WHICH REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be signed by their respective duly authorized officers, effective as of the date first set forth herein.
