Agreement, as modified hereby.

     

    B.           Pursuant
to Section 2.14
of the Credit Agreement, Borrower was granted the right to extend the Existing
Maturity Date for two consecutive one-year Extension Periods, subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.

     

    C.           On

    D.           Upon

Appraisals of the Borrowing Base Properties and undertook review of the
compliance of the credit facility with the loan-to-value and Debt Service
Coverage Ratio tests set forth in Sections 2.14(a)(iv)
and (v) of the
Credit Agreement and based on that review, certain changes described in this
Extension Agreement are required to be made to the Aggregate Commitments and the
Allocated Loan Amounts.

     

    E.           Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and Borrower are executing this Agreement to evidence and
confirm the Extension.

conditions and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,

the Credit Agreement, the Aggregate Commitments have decreased from $370,000,000
to $350,000,000.  Accordingly, upon the Extension Date, the Loan
Documents and all exhibits and schedules to the Credit Agreement are hereby
modified to replace any references therein to the aggregate extension of credit

“$350,000,000”.

     

    3. Elimination
of Accordion Feature.  Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that, as
of the Extension Date, there shall be no further right of Borrower to request an
increase in the Commitments, and as of the Extension Date, Section 2.15 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with
“Reserved”.

Allocated Loan Amounts; Property Managers) and the Borrowing Base Properties,
Credit Facility Guarantors, Allocated Loan Amounts and Property Managers set

Facility Guarantor and the Administrative Agent are executing and delivering a
Memorandum of Extension Agreement and Reaffirmation of Loan Documents (the
“Memorandum
of Extension Agreement”).  Borrower hereby agrees to cause
Title Insurer to record the Memorandum of Extension Agreement, and to issue such
endorsements to the Title Policies to the effect that the validity and priority

reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  Borrower hereby

included within the meaning of “Loan Document”) shall be deemed to refer to the
Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents or such Loan Document, as amended, modified
and supplemented hereby and, as applicable and subject to Section 9(g) below, by

include the reaffirmation of such Guaranty.

     

    (c) Concurrently

    9. Representations
and Warranties.  Borrower hereby
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as

and thereunder, and Borrower’s execution and delivery of this Extension
Agreement and the reaffirmation documents referenced herein have been duly
authorized by all necessary limited liability company action.  Except
for recordings or filings contemplated by this Extension Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, no approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action
by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person
that has not been obtained, taken or performed is necessary or required in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Borrower of this
Extension Agreement, the reaffirmation documents referenced herein or any
document or instrument to be delivered by Borrower pursuant
hereto.  This Extension Agreement, the reaffirmation documents
referenced herein and the documents and instruments delivered by Borrower
pursuant hereto have been duly executed and delivered, and constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by
equitable principles relating to enforceability (whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

     

    (b) As of the
date of the Extension Notice, the Extension Date and immediately after giving
effect to this Extension Agreement and the modifications to the Loan Documents
contemplated hereby, no Default or Event of Default or event which, if uncured
after the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, would become an Event
of Default, exists.

     

    (c) As of the
Extension Date, each Credit Facility Guarantor identified in Second Amended and Restated
Schedule 5.08 has good and marketable title in fee simple to, and/or
valid leasehold interests in (as disclosed in such Schedule), the corresponding
Borrowing Base Property listed in such Schedule, subject to no Liens, other than
Permitted Title Exceptions and rights of equipment lessors under equipment
leases that comply with the requirements of Section 7.03(e)
of the Credit Agreement.  As of the date hereof, the property of
Borrower is subject to no Liens, other than Liens in favor of the Administrative
Agent.  There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of
first refusal to purchase affecting the Borrowing Base Properties.

     

    (d) As of the
Extension Date and immediately after giving effect to this Extension Agreement
and the modifications to the Loan Documents contemplated hereby, Borrower
reaffirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents (as so modified), and
Borrower acknowledges that it has no claims, offsets or defenses with respect to

aggregate amount of $0 are outstanding; (ii) that, as of the date hereof, Swing
Line Loans in the aggregate amount of $0 are outstanding; (iii) that the L/C

the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.

     

    (e) As of the
Extension Date and immediately after giving effect to this Extension Agreement
and the modifications to the Loan Documents contemplated thereby, except as set
forth on Exhibit
D hereto (and except to the extent that such representations and
warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true
and correct as of such earlier date, and except that the representations and
warranties contained in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 of the
Original Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements
furnished pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d), of Section 6.01
thereof), all representations and warranties made and given by Borrower and
Guarantors in the Loan Documents are true, accurate and correct.

     

    10. Miscellaneous.

     

    (a) Controlling
Provisions.  In the event of any inconsistencies between the
provisions of this Extension Agreement and the provisions of any other Loan
Document, the provisions of this Extension Agreement shall govern and
prevail.  Except as expressly modified by this Extension Agreement and
the reaffirmation documents referenced herein, the Loan Documents shall not be
modified and shall remain in full force and effect.

     

    (b) Further
Assurances.  At the Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower
shall promptly execute any other document or instrument and/or seek any consent
or agreement from any third party that the Administrative Agent reasonably
determines is necessary to evidence or further, or is otherwise relevant to, the
intent of the parties, as set forth in this Extension Agreement, provided, the
same shall not result in a decrease of the rights of Borrower or result in an
increase in Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.  At the
Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall promptly cause any other Loan
Party or any of the holders of any equity interest in any other Loan Party, as
applicable, to execute any other document or instrument and/or diligently seek
any consent or agreement from any third party that the Administrative Agent
reasonably determines is necessary to evidence or further, or is otherwise
relevant to, the intent of the parties, as set forth in this Extension
Agreement, provided the same shall not result in a decrease of the rights of
such Loan Party or result in an increase in such Loan Party’s obligations under
the Loan Documents, as intended to be modified hereby.

     

    (c) Counterparts.  This
Extension Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Extension Agreement in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when
so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken
together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same
instrument.

     

    (d) Entire
Agreement.  This Extension Agreement, together with the other
Loan Documents, set forth the entire agreement and understanding among Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  This
Extension Agreement shall not prejudice any rights or remedies of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents.  The
Administrative Agent and each Lender reserve, without limitation, all rights
which each has against any indemnitor, guarantor, or endorser of the
Notes.  Nothing in this Extension Agreement shall impair the lien of
any Deed of Trust, which as hereby amended shall remain a deed of trust with a
power of sale, creating a first lien encumbering the applicable Borrowing Base
Property (subject to the Permitted Title Exceptions applicable to such Borrowing
Base Property).

     

    (e) GOVERNING LAW. THIS
EXTENSION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

     

    (f) Limitation of
Liability.  The provisions of Section 10.20 of the Original Credit
Agreement shall apply to the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended by this
Extension Agreement and are hereby incorporated herein by this
reference.

     

    (g) Loan
Documents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, it is understood and agreed that none of the reaffirmations delivered
pursuant to this Extension Agreement with respect to any of the documents that
(pursuant to Section 10.23 of the Credit Agreement) are not Loan Documents shall
be considered “Loan Documents.”
