 THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT dated as of September 8, 2007 (this
“Amendment”) amends the Reimbursement Agreement dated as of July 1, 2005 (as previously amended, the “Reimbursement Agreement”) between Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (the “Parent”) and The Bank of New York (the

 WHEREAS, the Parent and the Bank have entered into the Reimbursement Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the Parent and the Bank desire to
amend the Reimbursement Agreement as more fully set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Amendment. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3, the Reimbursement Agreement is
amended as follows: 
 (a) The definition of “Maturity Date” is amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “Maturity Date” means September 7, 2008. 
 (b) Section 5.2(d) is amended by replacing the reference to “January 29, 2006” with “January 28, 2007”. 
 (c) Section 6.2 is amended by (i) replacing the reference to “February 2, 2003, February 1, 2004, January 30, 2005 and

third and fourth sentence thereof with “January 28, 2007”. 
 SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. The Parent
represents and warrants to the Bank that, after giving effect to the effectiveness hereof: 
 (a) each representation and warranty set forth
in Article 6 of the Reimbursement Agreement, as amended hereby, is true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Parent, with the same effect as if made on such date, except to the
extent any such representation or warranty relates specifically to another date (in which case it was true and correct in all material respects as of such other date); 
 (b) the Parent has the power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Amendment; 
 (c) no Default exists; and 
 (d) there has not occurred a material adverse change since January 29, 2006 in the business,
assets, liabilities (actual or contingent), operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of the Parent (individually) or the Parent and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole). 







 SECTION 3. Effectiveness. The amendments set forth herein shall become effective when the Bank has
received the following: 
 (a) a counterpart of this Amendment executed by the Parent; 
 (b) a Confirmation, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, executed by each Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (c) evidence that the Parent has paid all accrued and invoiced Attorney Costs of the Bank in connection with this Amendment; and 
 (d) such other documents as the Bank may reasonably request. 
 SECTION 4. Miscellaneous. 
 4.1 Continuing Effectiveness, etc. As amended hereby, the
Reimbursement Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. After the effectiveness of this Amendment, all references in the Reimbursement Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
“Reimbursement Agreement” or similar terms shall refer to the Reimbursement Agreement as amended hereby. 
 4.2
Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute
one and the same Amendment. Delivery of a counterpart hereof, or an executed signature hereto, by facsimile or by e-mail (in pdf or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually-executed counterpart hereof. 
 4.3 Governing Law. This Amendment shall be a contract made under and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made
and to be performed entirely within such state. 
 4.4 Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon the Parent and the
Bank and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parent and the Bank and the successors and assigns of the Bank.
