WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Agent and certain financial institutions party

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 3.        Exhibit C-1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to be in
the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof.

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.

to the Agent or the Lenders by the Borrower shall mean the Credit Agreement as
hereby amended.

Credit Agreement); (b) may be modified or amended only in accordance with the
Credit Agreement; (c) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America; (d) may be executed
in several counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, and
each counterpart, when so executed and delivered, shall constitute an original
agreement, and all such separate counterparts shall constitute but one and the
same agreement; and (e) embodies the entire agreement and understanding between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, consents and understandings relating to such subject matter.

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
