PROXY STATEMENT

We are furnishing this Proxy Statement to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of SCP Pool Corporation (the “Company”) for use at the 20052006 annual meeting of our stockholders to be held on May 10, 2005,9, 2006, at 9:00 a.m., Central Standard Time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”). The Meeting will be held at the office of Jones, Walker, Waechter, Poitevent, Carrère & Denègre, L.L.P., 201 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70170-5100.Hotel Crescent Court, 400 Crescent Court, Dallas, TX 75201. This Proxy Statement is first being mailed to stockholders on or about March 28, 2005.April 3, 2006.

Voting Procedures

Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at the close of business on March 14, 2005,13, 2006, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. On March 14, 2005,13, 2006, we had outstanding 52,458,37352,788,055 shares of Common Stock, each of which is entitled to one vote.

The holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If a quorum is present, (1) directors will be elected by a plurality vote; and (2) the approval of the Strategic Plan Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the ratification of the retention of the independent auditors will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

Management does not know of any items, other than those referred to in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, that may properly come before the Meeting or other matters incident to the conduct of the Meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons named as proxies in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote in accordance with their judgment on the matters presented.

Abstentions will be treated as present both for purposes of determining a quorum and with respect to the approval of the Plan and the ratification of the independent directors.  Accordingly, abstentions will have no effect on the election of directors, but will have the effect of a vote against the approval of the Plan and the ratification of the independent auditors.

A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee (such as a broker or bank) holding shares in “street name” as the registered holder for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to the matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.  Broker non-votes will be treated as not present and not cast for purposes of determining a quorum and with respect to all matters brought before the Meeting. Accordingly, broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors, the approval of the Plan, or the ratification of the independent auditors.

If you come to the Meeting, you can, of course, vote in person. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Meeting, you must obtain from the record holder a proxy issued in your name. If you do not come to the Meeting, your shares can be voted only if you have returned a properly executed proxy. If you hold your shares through a record holder, such as a bank, broker or other nominee, you must provide voting instructions to the bank, broker, or nominee;record holder; obtain a proxy issued in your name from such record holder; or if your bank, broker, or nomineerecord holder makes telephone or internet voting available, follow the internet or telephone voting instructions the bank, broker or nomineerecord holder will enclose with this proxy statement.

If you execute and return your proxy but do not give voting instructions, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors. You can revoke your authorization at any time before the shares are voted at the Meeting by filing with the Secretary of the Company a written revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date. Your proxy will also be deemed revoked with respect to any matter on which you vote in person at the Meeting. Attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy. Unless otherwise marked, properly executed proxies in the form of the accompanying proxy card will be voted in favor of the election of each of the nominees, approval of the Plan and the ratification of the independent auditors.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SCP POOL CORPORATION

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised solely of independent directors, administers all Company stock plans and reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding compensation and benefits of executive officers and certain other key employees of the Company. After consideration of the Compensation Committee’s recommendations, the entire Board reviews and approves the salaries, bonuses and benefit programs for the Company’s executive officers and certain other key employees. The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside advisers, experts and others to assist it. In 2004, the Compensation Committee directly engaged an outside compensation consulting firm to assist the Compensation Committee in its review of the compensation for the executive officers. This consulting firm does not provide other consulting services to the Company.

Compensation Philosophy

The compensation philosophy of the Company is to link executive compensation to continuous improvements in corporate performance and increases in stockholder value. This philosophy applies to all employees, with a more significant level of variability and compensation at risk as an employee’s level of responsibility increases. The goals of the Company’s executive compensation program are as follows:

In 2004, the Compensation Committee directly engaged an outside compensation consultant to provide an independent analysis of the Company’s executive compensation program. The results of the analysis completed by this independent consultant, and corroborated by management and the Compensation Committee, included the following observations about the Company’s 2004 executive compensation:

Compensation Program Components

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the Company’s executive compensation program to ensure that pay levels and incentive opportunities are competitive with similar positions in the market and reflect the performance of the Company. Each element of the compensation program for executive officers is further explained below.

Base Salary. The base salary levels for all executive officers are set based upon the officer’s level of responsibility, experience, past performance and the competitive market for executive talent.

Annual Incentive Bonus. The annual cash bonuses paid to the executive officers are paid according to formulas that are based almost entirely on objective performance criteria with a small component being discretionary. The objective performance measures used to calculate the bonus of Mr. Perez de la Mesa for 20042005 were earnings per share, return on total assets, cash flow from operations and organizational development. The objective portion of the bonuses of the other executive officers was based upon earnings per share and various other performance measures pertinent to the officer’s area of responsibility. The Company utilizes annual bonuses to focus corporate behavior on the achievement of goals for growth, financial performance and other specific annual objectives.

Stock Options.Options. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company can closely align executive interests with the longer term interests of stockholders by encouraging equity participation in the Company. The Compensation Committee believes stock option awards promote the Company’s long-term performance goals and further executive retention. All management level employees are eligible to receive stock options. The individual option grant levels for all of the executive officers for 20042005 were based upon the Company’s performance and relative shareholder return, the value of similar incentive awards to executive officers at comparable companies, the awards given to each executive officer in past years, and each respective officer’s level of responsibility. The stock options awarded to executive officers accounted for approximately 25%27% of the total number of stock options awarded in 2004.2005.

Restricted Stock.Strategic Plan Incentive Program. In 2004,2006, the Compensation Committee approved the implementation of the Strategic Plan Incentive for the Company’s senior officers and general managers. The purpose of the Strategic Plan Incentive is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing senior management

Setting Executive Compensation

        In setting the annual compensation for each executive officer, the Compensation Committee reviews executive compensation information of comparable companies derived from publicly available information. The Compensation Committee further reviews the executive officer compensation levels for internal pay equity within the Company. The Compensation Committee also reviews with tally sheets the total remuneration that each executive officer could potentially receive if certain events occur, including a change in control, retirement, termination (for cause and without), and continuation of employment. Total remuneration includes total cash compensation, the future value of stock options and restricted stock and the dollar value to the executive and cost to the Company of all perquisites and other personal benefits. From time to time, the Compensation Committee engages an outside compensation consultant to provide an independent analysis of the Company’s executive compensation program.

        Stock options granted to executive officers shall, subject to certain limitations, (1) immediately vest and become fully exercisable upon a change of control, death or disability; (2) remain exercisable and continue to vest in accordance with their original schedule upon retirement (which is defined as attainment of the age of 55 years or more and continuous service to the Company for a period of at least ten years); (3) be immediately forfeited, whether or not then exercisable, upon termination for cause; and (4) remain exercisable and, subject to Company discretion, continue to vest in accordance with their original schedule upon termination without cause. Restricted stock granted to executive officers shall, subject to certain limitations, (1) fully vest upon a change of control, death, or disability; (2) continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule upon retirement; and (3) be immediately forfeited upon termination for any other reason, whether voluntary or involuntary. Upon termination other than for cause, Mr. Perez de la Mesa is entitled to receive his base salary for a period of six months thereafter and the other executive officers are entitled to receive their respective base salary for a period of up to three months. Executive officers are not entitled to any additional compensation, perquisites or other personal benefits upon a change in control, retirement or termination.

        Based on this review, the Compensation Committee finds total compensation for all executive officers (and, in the case of the severance and change-in-control scenarios, the potential payouts) in the aggregate to be reasonable and consistent with the market, and not excessive.

Certain Tax Considerations

        Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”) generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to a company’s chief executive officer or any of the four other

most highly compensated officers. Performance-based compensation that meets certain requirements under Section 162(m) is not subject to the deduction limitation. The Company’s policy with respect to Section 162(m) is to make reasonable efforts to ensure that compensation is deductible without limiting the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified executives. The Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation must be deductible.

        Management believes that the only executive compensation that presently meets the performance-based compensation requirements under Section 162(m) is stock options awarded under the Company’s 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2002 LTIP”). While the stock options granted under the 2002 LTIP were designed to qualify as deductible compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that it is not in the stockholders’ interest to restrict the Compensation Committee’s discretion and flexibility in developing appropriate compensation programs and, in some instances, the Compensation Committee may approve compensation that is not fully deductible.

Summary

        After its review of all existing programs, the Compensation Committee believes that the total compensation program for executives of the Company is focused on increasing value for stockholders and enhancing corporate performance. The Compensation Committee currently believes that a significant portion of compensation of executive officers is properly tied to stock appreciation in the Company’s stock through stock options and restricted stock grants. The Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation levels at the Company are extremely competitive with the compensation programs provided by other corporations with which the Company competes for executive talent.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        During the last fiscal year, none of the members of the Compensation Committee were officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SCP POOL CORPORATION

Setting Executive Compensation

In setting the annual compensation for each executive officer, the Compensation Committee reviews executive compensation information derived from publicly available information.

The Compensation Committee further reviews the executive officer compensation levels for internal pay equity within the Company. The Compensation Committee also reviews the total remuneration that each executive officer could potentially receive if certain events occur, including a change in control, retirement, termination (for cause and without), and continuation of employment. Total remuneration includes total cash compensation, the future value of stock options and restricted stock and the dollar value to the executive and cost to the Company of all perquisites and other personal benefits.

Stock options granted to executive officers shall, subject to certain limitations, (1) immediately vest and become fully exercisable upon a change of control, death or disability; (2) remain exercisable and continue to vest in accordance with their original schedule upon retirement (which is defined as attainment of the age of 55 years or more and continuous service to the Company for a period of at least ten years); (3) be immediately forfeited, whether or not then exercisable, upon termination for cause; and (4) remain exercisable and, subject to Company discretion, continue to vest in accordance with their original schedule upon termination without cause. Restricted stock granted to executive officers shall, subject to certain limitations, (1) fully vest upon a change of control, death, or disability; (2) continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule upon retirement; and (3) be immediately forfeited upon termination, whether voluntary or involuntary. Upon termination other than for cause, Mr. Perez de la Mesa is entitled to receive his base salary for a period of six months thereafter and the other executive officers are entitled to receive their respective base salary for a period of up to three months. Executive officers are not entitled to any additional compensation, perquisites or other personal benefits upon a change in control, retirement or termination.

Based on this review, the Compensation Committee finds total compensation for all executive officers (and, in the case of the severance and change-in-control scenarios, the potential payouts) in the aggregate to be reasonable and consistent with the market.

Certain Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”) generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to a company’s chief executive officer or any of the four other most highly compensated officers. Performance-based compensation that meets certain requirements under Section 162(m) is not subject to the deduction limitation. The Company’s policy with respect to Section 162(m) is to make reasonable efforts to ensure that compensation is deductible without limiting the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified executives. The Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation must be deductible.

Management believes that the only executive compensation that presently meets the performance-based compensation requirements under Section 162(m) is stock options awarded under the Company’s 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2002 LTIP”). While the 2002 LTIP was designed to qualify as deductible compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that it is not in the stockholders’ interest to restrict the Compensation Committee’s discretion and flexibility in developing appropriate compensation programs and, in some instances, the Compensation Committee may approve compensation that is not fully deductible. Management estimates that a portion of the deduction for Manuel J. Perez de la Mesa’s 2004 compensation will be limited under Section 162(m).

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The graph below compares the total stockholder return on the Company’s Common Stock for the last five fiscal years with the total return on the Nasdaq US Index and the S&P SmallCap 600MidCap 400 Index for the same period, in each case assuming the investment of $100 on December 31, 19992000 and the reinvestment of all dividends. TheIn previous years, the Company has chosenused the S&P SmallCap 600 Index for comparison. Given the Company’s growth in market capitalization, the Company changed to the S&P MidCap 400 Index, as the Company believes the S&P MidCap 400 Index includes companies with more comparable capitalization. The graph contains comparison data for the S&P SmallCap 600 Index as required when a company changes indices. Additionally, the Company has chosen the S&P MidCap 400 Index for comparison, as opposed to an industry index because the Company does not believe that it can reasonably identify a peer group or a published industry or line-of-business index that contains companies in a similar line of business and because the S&P SmallCap 600 Index includes companies of similar capitalization to the Company.business.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In October 1999, the Company entered into a lease agreement with S&C Development, L.L.C., for a service center in Mandeville, Louisiana.  The sole member of S&C Development, L.L.C., is A. David Cook, a Company executive officer.  The seven year lease term commenced on January 1, 2000, and provides for rental payments of $6,510 per month. In January 2002, the Company entered into a lease agreement with S&C Development, L.L.C., for additional warehouse space adjacent to the Mandeville service center.  The five year lease term commenced on February 4, 2002, and provides for rental payments of $4,123 per month.  The total $10,633 monthly lease payment is for both facilities consisting of 21,100 square feet.

In January 2001, the Company entered into a lease agreement with S&C Development, L.L.C., for a service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  The ten year lease term commenced on November 10, 2001, and provides for rental payments of $12,371$12,745 per month for the 25,000 square foot facility.

In February 2002, the Board determined that the Company will no longer enter into additional leases or material transactions with related parties.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons owning more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of these reports furnished, management believes that the directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders timely complied with these requirements with the exception of one Form 3 and one Form 4 reporting an option grant to Ms. Jennifer M. Neil and one Form 5 reporting Mr. Stephen C. Nelson’s acquisition of an indirect beneficial ownership of Company stock through a trust.

PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE STRATEGIC PLAN
INCENTIVE PLAN OF SCP POOL CORPORATION
(Proposal 2)

General

        In February 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the implementation of the Strategic Plan Incentive for the Company’s senior officers and general managers. The purpose of the Strategic Plan Incentive is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing senior management with a cash incentive upon achievement of specified business objectives related to the Company’s strategic plans for internal growth. The Strategic Plan Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is a cash-based, pay-for-performance incentive program that effectively links the Company’s long-term financial performance with the total cash compensation paid to senior management. The Plan serves to complement the Company’s annual incentive program and the longer-term value creation incentive provided by stock options.

        To ensure that the compensation paid through the Plan is fully tax-deductible and qualifies under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 162(m)”) as “performance-based compensation,” the material terms of the Plan, including the employees eligible to receive compensation under the plan, a description of the business criteria on which the performance goal is based and the maximum amount of compensation that could be paid to any employee under the Plan, must be approved by the stockholders.

        If the stockholders do not approve the Plan at the Meeting, the Company will terminate the Plan and will not pay any awards under the Plan. However, the Compensation Committee expects to make incentive payments to the senior officers and general managers even if the Plan is not approved. The difference is that the Company will lose a portion of the tax deductibility that would have otherwise been available to it. The Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation paid must be tax-deductible and qualified under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Company cannot deduct incentive payments from its taxes, it will increase the overall cost of these incentive payouts to the Company.

        The full text of the Plan appears in Appendix E. The principal features are summarized below and should be reviewed along with the information in the text of the Plan. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve the Plan.

Terms of the Plan

Participation. All officers with the title of Vice President or above, who are referred to as “senior officers,” and all general managers participate in the Plan. Currently, the Company has 7 senior officers and 7 general managers.

Incentive Awards. The Plan is based on the Company realizing internal earnings per share growth at a compounded annual rate over a three-year period of over 20%. The maximum opportunity of 200% of base salary for senior officers is realized at a 30% compounded annual growth rate in earnings per share over a three-year period. The incentive opportunity for general managers is also 200% of base salary based on annual earnings per share growth of over 20% to 30% during a performance period, but each general manager’s award shall be reduced by 50% if the compounded annual growth rate of his respective division operating profit during the performance period does not exceed 20%. The payout amount will be pro-rated such that for every incremental increase in the compounded annual growth rate of earnings per share over 20% to 30%, the participants will receive a pro rata portion of the maximum award. The earnings per share and divisional operating income for the year prior to the beginning of a performance period serve as the baseline for measuring growth.

        For the initial phase-in of the Plan, participants will be eligible to earn up to one-third of the maximum award for 2006 growth and up to two-thirds of the maximum award for 2006 through 2007. Thereafter, all awards will be based on a three-year performance period. The maximum incentive award that a participant may be paid under the Plan per year is $1,000,000.

        No participant will be entitled to be paid an incentive award under the Plan unless the participant is employed by the Company on the last day of the performance period. The Committee may choose to make exceptions in the case of retirement, death or disability. Payments of awards will be made by the February 28 following the end of the performance period.

        Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee has discretion to reduce, but not to increase, an individual’s incentive payout. The Plan specifies the events or changes that will result in adjustments to the calculation of the Company’s net income and a division’s operating income. The Committee may also specify, within the first 90 days of a performance period, other events or changes that will result in adjustments for that period.

Income Tax Consequences

        As described above, the Company intends incentives granted under the Plan to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m). By doing so, the Company preserves its federal income tax deductions with respect to annual compensation required to be taken into account under Section 162(m) that is in excess of $1 million and paid to one of the Company’s five most highly compensated executive officers.

Administration

        The Compensation Committee, which is made up solely of “outside directors,” as defined in regulations under Section 162(m), will have full power to administer the Plan. Its powers include the power to adopt rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to interpret the Plan and to make all determinations, including the setting of performance targets and the certifying of performance results, necessary for compliance with Section 162(m).

Plan Amendments

        The Committee, as well as the full Board of Directors, may amend or terminate the Plan. Stockholder approval of amendments is required only if necessary under Section 162(m). The Plan will be presented to stockholders for re-approval at least every five years.

New Plan Benefits

        The following table provides information on the amounts that would have been paid to the named persons and groups if the Plan had been in effect for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2005, based

upon earnings per share growth and divisional operating income growth for that period and salary levels on that date.

PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE RETENTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

(Proposal 2)3)

The Audit Committee has approved the retention of Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005,2006, and recommends the ratification of such retention by the stockholders. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of E&Y, the Audit Committee will reconsider the selection.

Representatives of E&Y are expected to be present at the Meeting, with the opportunity to make any statement they desire at that time, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote is required for ratification of the retention of E&Y as the Company’s independent auditors.

Audit Fees

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by E&Y for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, and fees billed for other services rendered by E&Y.

STRATEGIC PLAN INCENTIVE PLAN OF SCP POOL CORPORATION

D-2

ARTICLE I
PURPOSE OF PLAN

        Section 1.1     The purpose of the Strategic Plan Incentive Plan of SCP Pool Corporation (the “Plan”) is to provide senior officers and general managers with an additional incentive to be earned upon the achievement of specified earnings objectives related to the strategic plan for the internal growth of SCP Pool Corporation (the “Company”). The Plan is a cash-based, pay-for-performance incentive program that effectively links the Company’s long-term financial performance with the total cash compensation paid to senior management. The Plan serves to complement the Company’s annual incentive program and the longer-term value creation incentive provided by stock options. Under the terms of the Plan, discussed below, each senior officer and general manager is eligible to earn an incentive in an amount equal to up to 200% of their base salary based on the Company’s organic growth of earnings per share over a three year period. The incentive will be fully effective in the 2008 period with the Company’s 2005 earnings objective serving as the baseline. For the initial two years of the Plan (2006 and 2007), the Company’s 2005 earnings objective shall serve as the baseline with the participants eligible to earn up to one-third of the total plan incentive in 2006, and two-thirds of the total plan incentive in 2007. The Plan is designed to ensure that payments hereunder to executive officers of the Company are deductible for federal income tax purposes without limit under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and interpretations promulgated thereunder (“Section 162(m)”). The Plan is subject to stockholder approval.

ARTICLE II
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

        Section 2.1     The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”), which shall be made up solely of two or more “outside directors” of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 162(m). The Committee shall have the sole discretion and authority to administer and interpret the Plan in accordance with Section 162(m).

        Section 2.2     Subject to the express provisions and limitations set forth in the Plan, the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or desirable, in its sole discretion, in connection with the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the following:

ARTICLE III
ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION

        Section 3.1     The Committee shall, on an annual basis, designate the senior officers and general managers of the Company who shall participate in the Plan for the performance period beginning in that year.

ARTICLE IV
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

        Section 4.1     Plan participants shall be entitled to earn an incentive award (the “Incentive Award”) based upon the Company’s internal earnings per share (“EPS”) growth at a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) greater than 20% during a performance period. Each general manager’s Incentive Award shall be limited to 50% of the calculated Incentive Award if the growth of his respective division operating profit does not exceed 20% during the performance period. The performance periods and maximum payout amounts shall be as follows:

        No Incentive Award shall be earned or paid unless the CAGR of the threshold EPS baseline established by the Committee exceeds 20%.

        Section 4.2     A CAGR of EPS over 20% to 30% of the baseline established by the Committee shall result in a pro rata increase in the Incentive Award. Thus, for clarity, for senior officers, EPS growth of 20% shall result in an award of 0% of base salary as of the end of the performance period, EPS growth of 25% shall result in an award of 100% of base salary as of the end of the performance period, EPS growth of 25.4% shall result in an award of 108% of base salary as of the end of the performance period and EPS growth of 30% shall result in an award of 200% of base salary as of the end of the performance period. In the event the CAGR of a general manager’s division operating profit baseline does not exceed 20%, such general manager shall be entitled to only 50% of the calculated Incentive Award.

        Section 4.3     Within the first 90 days of each performance period, the Committee shall establish in writing the EPS and division operating profit baselines for the performance period, as such baselines may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4 below.

        Section 4.4     The term “performance period” shall mean the period for which the Incentive Award is payable. For calculation of the Incentive Award, the term “EPS” shall mean the net income per weighted average common share outstanding, assuming dilution, for the performance period. EPS and, to the extent applicable, division operating profit shall in each case be adjusted as necessary to reflect the following: acquisition-related charges; the effects of changes in tax law, changes in accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results; major capital restructuring; and any extraordinary non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the annual report to stockholders for the applicable year. EPS and, to the extent applicable, division operating profit shall also be adjusted as necessary to reflect any other events or changes specified in writing by the Committee within the first 90 days of the performance period.

        Section 4.5     (a) An Incentive Award shall be paid to a participant no later than February 28 following the end of the performance period.

                                 (b) All Incentive Awards shall be paid in cash.

                                 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no participant shall be entitled to any payment with respect to any Incentive Awards unless the members of the Committee referred to in
                         Section 2.1 hereof shall have certified the payout amount of the Incentive Awards calculated as provided in Section 4.1 hereof.

ARTICLE V
AMOUNT OF INCENTIVE AWARD

        Section 5.1     The maximum Incentive Award for any Plan participant per year shall be $1,000,000. In its sole discretion, the Committee may also reduce, but may not increase, an individual’s Incentive Award calculated under the formula set forth under this Plan. In determining the amount of any reduced Incentive Award, the Committee reserves the right to apply subjective, discretionary criteria to determine a revised incentive amount.

ARTICLE VI
PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE AWARD

        Section 6.1     The payment of an Incentive Award for a given performance period requires that the Plan participant be on the Company payroll as of the last day of the performance period. The Committee may make exceptions to this requirement in the case of retirement, death or disability, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. No Incentive Award shall be paid unless and until the Committee makes a certification in writing to the extent required under Section 162(m).

ARTICLE VII
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

        Section 7.1     The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan at any time with respect to future services of participants. Plan amendments may be adopted by the Board of Directors or the Committee, and will require stockholder approval only to the extent required to satisfy the conditions for exemption under Section 162(m) or otherwise. The Board and the Committee have the power to amend the EPS and division operating profit percentage targets from those provided herein within the first 90 days of a performance period, and as a result, for purposes of compliance with Section 162(m), this Plan must be approved by the stockholders of the Company every five years.

ARTICLE VIII
TAX WITHHOLDING

        Section 8.1     The Company shall have the right to make all payments or distributions pursuant to the Plan to a participant, net of any applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid or withheld. The Company shall have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts otherwise payable to such participant such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the participant to pay such withholding taxes. If the participant shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such participant or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations.

ARTICLE IX
NON-ASSIGNABILITY

        Section 9.1     Unless the Committee expressly states otherwise, no participant in the Plan may sell, assign, convey, gift, pledge or otherwise hypothecate or alienate any incentive opportunity or amounts determined by the Committee to be payable under the Plan, until such amounts (if any) are actually paid.

ARTICLE X
NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PLAN

        Section 10.1     Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board of Directors or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including, without limitation, cash or equity-based compensation arrangements, either tied to performance or otherwise, and any such other arrangements as may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

ARTICLE XI
EMPLOYMENT AT WILL

        Section 11.1     Neither the Plan, selection of a person as a participant in the Plan nor the payment of any Incentive Award to any participant under the Plan nor any action by the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be held or construed to confer upon any person any right to be continued in the employ of the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right to discharge any participant whenever in the sole discretion of the Company its interest may so require.

ARTICLE XII
NO VESTED INTEREST OR RIGHT

        Section 12.1     At no time before the actual payout of an Incentive Award to any participant under the Plan shall any participant accrue any vested interest or right whatsoever under the Plan, and the Company has no obligation to treat participants identically under the Plan.

ARTICLE XIII
GOVERNING LAW

        Section 13.1     The Plan and any agreements and documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana and applicable federal law. The Committee may provide that any dispute concerning the Plan shall be presented and determined in such forum as the Committee may specify, including through binding arbitration.
