Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 12, 2007, Pool Corporation (the “Company”) issued and sold $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes (the “Notes”) in a private placement offering pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto. The Notes are due February 12, 2012. The Notes will accrue interest on the unpaid principal thereof at a floating rate equal to a spread of 0.60% over three-month LIBOR, as adjusted from time to time, payable quarterly on each February 12, May 12, August 12 and November 12. The Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed by each domestic subsidiary that is or becomes a borrower or guarantor under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Net proceeds from the placement were used to pay down borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at 103% of the principal amount thereof on or prior to February 12, 2008, and at 100% of the principal amount thereafter, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, plus any LIBOR breakage amount. In the event of a change of control of the Company, the holders of the Notes will have the right to put the Notes back to the Company at par.

The Note Purchase Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants for transactions of this type, including a maximum Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA covenant, a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage covenant, and limitations on priority debt, liens, subsidiary debt, mergers and consolidations and asset sales. The agreement also contains customary events of default, which if they were to occur would give the holders of the Notes the right to accelerate the Notes.

The foregoing summary of the Note Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
