THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”), is made
and entered into as of this 26th day of February, 2010, with an effective date
as set forth in Section 3 hereof, by
and among POOL CORPORATION (formerly known as SCP POOL CORPORATION), a Delaware
corporation (the “US
Borrower”), SCP DISTRIBUTORS INC., a company organized under the laws of
Ontario (the “Canadian
Borrower” and, together with the US Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the
lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below (collectively, the
“Lenders”) and
WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as
Administrative Agent for the Lenders.
Statement of
Purpose
The Lenders agreed to extend certain
credit facilities to the Borrowers pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of December 20, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by
and among the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Amendment, the Borrowers desire to amend or modify certain
provisions of the Credit Agreement as more particularly set forth
herein.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions. All
capitalized, undefined terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 2. Amendment. Section 11.6 of the
Credit Agreement (“Limitations on Dividends and Distributions”) is hereby
amended by amending and restating subsection (b) thereof as
follows:
“(b) so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result therefrom, the US Borrower may declare and pay quarterly dividends in a
manner consistent with the past practice of the US Borrower in amounts
reasonably determined by the board of directors of the US Borrower; provided that the
dividends declared and paid in any Fiscal Year shall be subject to the following
limitations:
(i) the
aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid during the first quarter of the
Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2010 shall not exceed, (A) twenty five percent
(25%) times (B)
fifty-five percent (55%) of Net Income for the Fiscal Year ended December 31,
2009 (as set forth in the audited financial statements of the US Borrower and
its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009, or, if such
audited financial statements have not yet been delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(b), the
unaudited management prepared financial statements of the US Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009); and
(ii) the
aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid during the second, third and
fourth fiscal quarters of the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2010
shall, when aggregated with the amount of dividends declared and paid in the
first quarter of such Fiscal Year pursuant to clause (i) above, shall not exceed
fifty-five percent (55%) of Net Income for the Fiscal Year ended December 31,
2009 (as set forth in the audited financial statements of the US Borrower and
its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009) (such amount, the
“2010 Dividend
Cap”); provided that if Net
Income for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009 (as set forth in the
unaudited management prepared financial statements of the US Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year) exceeds Net Income (as set forth in the
audited financial statements of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such
Fiscal Year) by $2,000,000 or greater, the 2010 Dividend Cap shall be reduced to
fifty percent (50%) of Net Income for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009
(as set forth in the audited financial statements of the US Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year); and
1
(iii) with
respect to the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2011 and each Fiscal Year
thereafter, the aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid during each
Fiscal Year shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of Net Income for the Fiscal
Year preceding the Fiscal Year in which such dividend is to be declared and paid
(as set forth in the audited financial statements of the US Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for such preceding Fiscal Year);”
SECTION 3. Effectiveness. This
Amendment shall become effective on the date (such date, the “Effective Date”) that

(ii) The
Administrative Agent shall have been reimbursed for all reasonable fees and

earlier date and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is

officers, and each such document constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable in
accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal
debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of
creditors’ rights in general and the availability of equitable
remedies.

Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without
