I have no idea, tdchan51. The only thing I know is the reclining is approximately 131 degrees. I usually select row 8 if I can.
CI website actually makes clear that exit row(s) can be choosen by Paragon/Emerald members in advance. However, considering SFO is not that "elite members heavy" flight. In this case, you may be able to ask check-in agent to place you on row 10 if those seats are still available.
