Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 27, 2006, Dorman Products, Inc. (the "Borrower") entered into a Commercial Loan Agreement and a Promissory Note (collectively, the "Loan Documents") with Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA"). The Loan Documents set forth in writing the terms pursuant to which TVA will provide funds to Borrower and the respective rights, duties, and obligations of Borrower and TVA concerning such funds.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Documents. A copy of the Loan Documents are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the description set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Documents.

The Loan Documents provide the Borrower with a $625,000 Principal Amount. The loan proceeds were used to reduce outstanding primary credit borrowings for working capital at Borrower's Portland, Tennessee location. The term of the loan is seven (7) years with a Maturity Date of September 15, 2013. All then outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest are due on the Maturity Date.

Interest accrues during the term at an interest rate per annum of four percent (4%) on the unpaid balance. The interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year. The loan is secured by a Letter of Credit from Wachovia Bank, the Borrower's primary lender. The loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.

Under the Loan Documents, Borrower is required to pay all costs in connection with making the loan and all reasonable costs and expenses related to the enforcement of TVA's rights under the Loan Documents or at law.

The Loan Documents contain covenants typical of this type of loan arrangement, including: (i) utilize local labor to the maximum extent feasible, (ii) furnish TVA with annual audited financial statements, (iii) report to TVA the number of employees at its Portland, Tennessee facility within sixty (60) days of the end of each fiscal year, (iv) advise TVA in writing of any event which comes to the attention of Borrower that might materially adversely affect Borrower's financial condition or operations, and (v) Borrower to maintain its corporate existence in good standing and remain qualified to do business where required.
