          On April 28, 2008, Polypore International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “A&R Agreement”) with Robert B.

The A&R Agreement contains substantially the same terms as his prior employment agreement, except as follows:

     §     With respect to options granted to Mr. Toth under the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan, A&R Agreement provides that upon certain qualifying terminations of Mr. Toth’s employment, unvested options will fully vest upon such termination and the period to exercise such vested options will be extended for up to 12 months following such termination (but not beyond the original expiration date of such options);

     §     In the case of a termination of Mr. Toth’s employment by reason of his death or disability, the period of continuation of benefits for him and his covered dependents has been increased to 24 months following termination;

     §     In the case of a termination of Mr. Toth’s employment by the Company without cause or by Mr. Toth with good reason, or by reason of the Company’s election not to renew the term of the A&R Agreement, Mr. Toth’s severance amount will be calculated based on two times his base salary and bonus (with bonus calculated using a 3-year average), and continuation of benefits for him and his covered dependents will last for 24 months following termination;

     §     Mr. Toth’s post-termination obligations with respect to competition and solicitation have been extended to 2 years following any termination of this employment.

     The A&R Agreement is attached hereto in Exhibit 10.1.
