This Agreement is based upon the following recitals which are made a material part of this Agreement: A. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a certain Amended and Restated Secured Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated as of August 11, 2005, and made by and between Borrower, Lenders and Agent, Lenders agreed to make available to Borrower the Term Loan Commitment in the amount of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), the Revolving Credit Commitment in the amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), and the Letter of Credit Commitment in the amount of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Credit Agreement. B. To further evidence the indebtedness of Borrower to Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Borrower executed and delivered to Lenders the Notes, each dated August 11, 2005. C. The obligations of Borrower to Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Notes are further evidenced, secured and guaranteed by the Borrower Pledge Agreement, San Francisco Company Guaranty and San Francisco Company Security Agreement (the foregoing, with the Credit Agreement and the Notes, are collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents" and individually as a "Loan Document").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lenders hereby agree as follows, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents: 1. Affirmation of Recitals. The recitals are true and correct and ------------------------- incorporated herein by this reference. 2. Outstanding Principal Balance. As of August 10, 2006, (i) the ------------------------------- aggregate outstanding principal balance the Revolving Loans was Zero Dollars ($0.00), (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Term Loans was $85,000,000, and (iii) the aggregate amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including matured but unsatisfied Obligations of Reimbursement) was Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000). Borrower hereby stipulates and agrees that the foregoing balances are true and correct and that such amounts are due and owing in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and are not subject to any claim of offset or defense whatsoever. 3. Amendments.

(d) Section 4.7 shall be amended, in its entirety, to read as follows: "Generally. The Revolving Loan Margin, the Term Loan Margin and ---------- the L/C Margin, shall be adjusted each quarter on the basis of the Funded Debt Ratio as at the end of the previous fiscal quarter, in accordance with the following table: Funded Revolving Loan Margin Term Loan Margin L/C Margin Debt Ratio (in Basis Points) (in Basis points) (in Basis Points) ---------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- 1.75 to 1.00 or more 100.0 112.5 112.5 1.00 to 1.00 or more, but 87.5 100.0 100.0 less than 1.75 to 1.00 Less than 1.00 to 1.00 75.0 87.5 87.5 Reductions and increases in the Margins will be made quarterly on the first day of the month following the date the Borrower's financial statements and Compliance Certificate required under Section 8.1 are due.

(f) Section 5.2(c) shall be amended by substituting for the words and figures "20.0 basis points (0.200%)" the words and figures "17.5 basis points (0.175%)." (g) Section 5.3 shall be amended, in its entirety, to read as follows: Section 5.3 Termination, Reduction, or Increase of the ------------------------------------------------------- Revolving Credit Commitments. ---------------------------- 5.3.1 Termination or Reduction of the Revolving Credit ------------------------------------------------------- Commitments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time upon ----------- ten (10) calendar days' prior notice to the Agent permanently terminate the entire Revolving Credit Commitment or permanently reduce such Commitment in part, without penalty or premium, provided that (i) such Commitments may not be terminated while any Advances remain outstanding, (ii) each partial reduction shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or a multiple thereof, (iii) any partial reduction of such Commitments shall be pro rata as to each Lender in accordance with that Lender's Percentage, and (iv) no reduction shall reduce such Commitments to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the Advances outstanding at the time. 5.3.2 Increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments. -------------------------------------------- (a) The Borrower may, at its election at any time or from time to time after August 10, 2006, and prior to thirty (30) days before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount; provided and subject to the express conditions precedent that: (i) each proposed increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount of any Lender shall be subject to the written consent of such Lender (it being expressly agreed and understood by the Borrower that no Lender has agreed or committed or otherwise undertaken to agree or commit to increase the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount of such Lender above such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Amount as in effect on August 10, 2006, and set forth on Exhibit B), (ii) each such increase of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), (iii) the Borrower shall not request to increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount if, after giving effect to any permanent reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount in accordance with Section 5.3.1, the sum of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount would exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), (iv) the Borrower shall not request to increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount more than twice, (v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such increase or as a result of such increase, (vi) each increase of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount may be made ratably among the Lenders participating in such increase in accordance with their respective Percentages, or may be made in such other increments satisfactory to each such Lender, in each case subject to the written consent of each such Lender, and (vii) notwithstanding Article XII hereof, additional Persons may become Lenders under this Agreement to accommodate such increase, subject to the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (b) The Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing of any request to increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount under this Section 5.3.2 at least thirty (30) days prior to the desired effective date of such increase, specifying such election and the effective date thereof, in the form of Exhibit M. Such notice shall be accompanied by the resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower and The San Francisco Company approving such increase, as certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Borrower and The San Francisco Company. Within five (5) Bank Business Days after receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each Lender shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to subscribe for its Percentage of such requested increase. The Lenders shall respond in writing to the Borrower's request through the Agent within ten (10) Bank Business Days from notification by the Agent of the Borrower's request for increase. Any Lender not responding within ten (10) Bank Business Days shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the Borrower's request for increase to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. At the option of the Borrower, any part of the increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount not so subscribed may be assumed by one or more existing Lenders or assumed by another financial institution or institutions designated by the Borrower and acceptable to each Lender and the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, upon submission of the notice to Agent in the form of Exhibit N, in the case of an existing Lender, or Exhibit O, in the case of a new lender. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 shall be irrevocable. (c) If the Total Revolving Credit Amount shall be increased as provided at this Section 5.3.2, before there shall be made any Advance that would cause the Revolving Loans by any Lender to exceed such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (as the same existed immediately before such increase), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Note in the amount of such increase, as well as deliver payment for all Agent Fees required under that certain Fee Letter, by and between Agent and the Borrower, dated as of July 10, 2006. (h) Exhibit B of the Credit Agreement shall be amended, in its entirety, to read in the same form as Exhibit A to this Agreement. (i) Following Exhibit L of the Credit Agreement, Exhibits B, C, and D to this Agreement shall be inserted, it being intended that the same shall serve as Exhibits M, N, and O of the Credit Agreement, respectively.

Failure by Borrower to pay any such amounts upon demand by Agent shall constitute an Event of Default. If Borrower fails to pay any such expenses on demand, then Agent shall have the right to pay such expenses and the same shall constitute additional indebtedness of Borrower to Agent evidenced, secured and guaranteed by the Loan Documents. 6. Borrower's Representations and Warranties.
