Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 15, 2007, Extra Space Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”), the operating partnership subsidiary of Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with various limited partnerships affiliated with AAAAA Rent-A-Space (the “Contributors”) to acquire 13 self-storage facilities (the “Properties”) in exchange for newly designated Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series A Preferred Units”) of the Operating Partnership.  This Contribution Agreement replaces the previously announced purchase and sale agreement, dated December 8, 2006, involving a cash purchase of the Properties, which has been terminated as of June 13, 2007.  The contribution transaction is currently expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.

Eleven of the Properties are located in the Bay Area of Northern California and two are in Hawaii.  The Properties include approximately 14,700 self storage units, containing an aggregate of approximately 1.04 million square feet of net rentable space.  The total value of the contribution consideration for the Properties is approximately $150.2 million, including the issuance of approximately $130 million of Series A Preferred Units and the assumption of approximately $20 million of third-party debt, approximately $12 million of which will be prepaid at the closing of the transaction.

The terms of the Series A Preferred Units will be governed by the Operating Partnership’s Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership which will be entered into upon the closing of the transaction.  The Series A Preferred Units will have priority over all other partnership interests with respect to distributions and liquidation.  Approximately $115 million aggregate capital amount of the Series A Preferred Units will bear a fixed priority return of 5% and have a fixed liquidation value of $115 million, and the remaining balance will participate in distributions with and have a liquidation value equal to that of the common units.  In addition, the Series A Preferred Units will be redeemable at the option of the Contributors on or after September 1, 2008, which redemption obligation may be satisfied by the Company in cash or shares of its common stock.

Upon the closing of the contribution transaction, the Operating Partnership will loan to the Contributors approximately $100.0 million (the “Contributor Loans”).  The Contributor Loans will bear interest at 4.85% per annum, will be secured by a pledge of the Series A Preferred Units and will be guaranteed by the primary owners of the Contributors.  The Contributor Loans will be due upon the earlier of a redemption of the Series A Preferred Units and the tenth anniversary after the Contributor Loans are made.

The foregoing description of the Contribution Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Contribution Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above regarding the termination of the previously announced purchase and sale agreement with respect to the Properties is incorporated herein by reference.
