<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of Restoration Hardware, Inc., as amended, authorizes Restoration
Hardware, Inc. to limit or eliminate the liability of the company&#146;s directors
to the company or its stockholders for monetary damage to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;). As permitted by the
DGCL, the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that the directors of Restoration Hardware, Inc. will not be
personally liable to the company or its stockholders for monetary damages for a
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach
of such person&#146;s duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or
redemptions that are prohibited by Section 174 of the DGCL and (iv) for any
transaction resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal
benefit.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under Section 145 of the DGCL, Restoration Hardware,
Inc. has broad discretion to indemnify its directors and officers against
liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
Restoration Hardware, Inc., as amended, provides that the company may indemnify
directors, officers, employees and agents in excess of the indemnification and
advancement of expenses permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, subject to limits
under Delaware law with respect to actions for breach of duty to the company,
its stockholders and others. The company will indemnify any person who is made
a party or threatened to be made a party or is in any way involved in any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of being a director or officer of the
company or a direct or indirect subsidiary of the company, or is or was serving
at the request of the company as a director or officer of another entity or
enterprise, and will also advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by
the DGCL. The company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws contain similar provisions
for indemnification of directors made, or threatened to be made, a party to an
action or proceeding by reason of being a director of the company or, at the
request of the company, a director or officer of another company. The company
will pay all expenses incurred by a director in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding by reason of being a director before final
disposition of the action, suit or proceeding once the director or someone
acting on such director&#146;s behalf undertakes to repay such amount if it is
ultimately determined that the director is not entitled to indemnification by
the company. The Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that the board of
directors has discretion to indemnify any person, other than a director, made a
party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of being an officer or
employee of the company. The company currently has directors&#146; and officers&#146;
liability insurance to provide its directors and officers with insurance
coverage for losses arising from claims based on breaches of duty, negligence,
errors and other wrongful acts. In addition to the indemnification provided for
in the company&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, the company has also entered into
agreements with certain of its directors and officers to indemnify such
directors and officers, respectively, against any expenses, fees, judgments and
settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by that person in
connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding to which
that person is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of that person
being a director, officer, employee or agent of the company or any subsidiary
of the company or of serving at the request of the company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise.</font></p>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of Restoration Hardware, Inc., as amended, authorizes Restoration
Hardware, Inc. to limit or eliminate the liability of the company's directors
to the company or its stockholders for monetary damage to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"). As permitted by the
DGCL, the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that the directors of Restoration Hardware, Inc. will not be
personally liable to the company or its stockholders for monetary damages for a
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach
of such person's duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or
redemptions that are prohibited by Section 174 of the DGCL and (iv) for any
transaction resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal
benefit.
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, Restoration Hardware,
Inc. has broad discretion to indemnify its directors and officers against
liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
Restoration Hardware, Inc., as amended, provides that the company may indemnify
directors, officers, employees and agents in excess of the indemnification and
advancement of expenses permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, subject to limits
under Delaware law with respect to actions for breach of duty to the company,
its stockholders and others. The company will indemnify any person who is made
a party or threatened to be made a party or is in any way involved in any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of being a director or officer of the
company or a direct or indirect subsidiary of the company, or is or was serving
at the request of the company as a director or officer of another entity or
enterprise, and will also advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by
the DGCL. The company's Amended and Restated Bylaws contain similar provisions
for indemnification of directors made, or threatened to be made, a party to an
action or proceeding by reason of being a director of the company or, at the
request of the company, a director or officer of another company. The company
will pay all expenses incurred by a director in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding by reason of being a director before final
disposition of the action, suit or proceeding once the director or someone
acting on such director's behalf undertakes to repay such amount if it is
ultimately determined that the director is not entitled to indemnification by
the company. The Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that the board of
directors has discretion to indemnify any person, other than a director, made a
party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of being an officer or
employee of the company. The company currently has directors' and officers'
liability insurance to provide its directors and officers with insurance
coverage for losses arising from claims based on breaches of duty, negligence,
errors and other wrongful acts. In addition to the indemnification provided for
in the company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, the company has also entered into
agreements with certain of its directors and officers to indemnify such
directors and officers, respectively, against any expenses, fees, judgments and
settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by that person in
connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding to which
that person is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of that person
being a director, officer, employee or agent of the company or any subsidiary
of the company or of serving at the request of the company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
2
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however
, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement
is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
