                            SECOND ADDENDUM TO LEASE

         This Second Addendum to Lease ("Addendum") is made effective as of the
1st day of June 2004, by and between ROBERT PATTILLO PROPERTIES, INC., a Georgia
Corporation ("Landlord"), POTTERY BARN, INC., a California Corporation
("Tenant") and WILLIAMS-SONOMA, INC., a California Corporation ("Guarantor").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Standard
Industrial Lease Agreement dated December 1, 2003, for lease of property located
at 11624 South Distribution Cove Olive Branch, MS ("Premises") as more
particularly described in the Lease, and that certain First Amendment to Lease
dated as of February 27, 2004, (said lease, as amended, is referred to herein as
the "Lease"); and

         WHEREAS, in conjunction with the execution and as part of the
consideration for Landlord entering into the Lease, Guarantor executed a
Guaranty dated as of December 1, 2003 ("Guaranty"); and

         WHEREAS, the parties desire to modify certain terms of the Lease.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and
conditions contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

         1.       In accordance with the terms of Paragraph 6 of the Lease,
                  Landlord has caused a registered surveyor to measure the
                  actual square footage of the building on the Premises. The
                  measurement reflects a total square footage in the Cell One
                  Premises and the Cell Two Premises of 780,218 square feet. The
                  parties agree that the portion of the building on the Cell One
                  Premises contains 416,000 square feet and that the portion of
                  the building on the Cell Two Premises contains 364,218 square
                  feet. Accordingly, the Cell Two Rent shall be adjusted to
                  reflect the actual square footage.

         2.       Time is of the essence as to all obligations of Landlord,
                  Tenant and Guarantor hereunder. Landlord, Tenant and Guarantor
                  hereby ratify and confirm the Lease, as amended hereby. All
                  terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
                  ascribed thereto in the Lease. This Addendum may be executed
                  in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be one
                  and the same instrument and a duplicate original. Return of an
                  executed copy of this Addendum by facsimile transmission shall
                  bind the party so executing and returning such counterpart.
                  Each party represents to the other that the person executing
                  this Addendum on its behalf is authorized to do so by all
                  required corporate, partnership or limited liability company
                  action, as appropriate.
