STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">On September&nbsp;8, 2006, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) (i)&nbsp;amended its Reimbursement Agreements, dated as of July&nbsp;1, 2005,
and as amended as of September&nbsp;9, 2005, with each of Bank of America, N.A., The Bank of New York and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the &#147;Existing Banks&#148;) to, among other things, extend the expiration dates of the agreements, and
(ii)&nbsp;entered into a new Reimbursement Agreement with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association (the &#147;New Banks&#148; and, collectively with the Existing Banks, the &#147;Banks&#148;). These Reimbursement
Agreements allow the Company to request the Banks to issue letters of credit on the Company&#146;s behalf in an aggregate amount of up to $165,000,000. The Company can request the Banks to issue letters of credit up until the expiration of the
agreements on September&nbsp;8, 2007. The latest expiration possible for any future letters of credit issued under the agreements is February&nbsp;5, 2008. The Company also has an unsecured revolving credit line with Bank of America, N.A., The Bank
of New York, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association, among others. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The letter of credit
facilities contain certain restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, financial covenants requiring a maximum leverage ratio (funded debt adjusted for lease and rent expense to EBITDAR) and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and
covenants limiting the Company&#146;s ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions, be acquired, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments and repurchase stock. The Company&#146;s obligations under the letter of credit facilities are
guaranteed by each of the Company&#146;s U.S. subsidiaries. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The letter of credit facilities contain events of default that include, among
others, non-payment of reimbursement obligations, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness and events constituting a
change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the Company&#146;s obligations under the letter of credit facilities, an obligation of the Company to deposit with the Banks as collateral an amount equal
to all outstanding letters of credit, and an obligation of any or all of the Company&#146;s U.S. subsidiaries to pay the full amount of the Company&#146;s obligations under the letter of credit facilities. </FONT></P> <P
