ITEM 5.02.  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

On May 4, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of DXP Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") established an equity incentive program under which David R. Little can earn an award of up to $500,000 of common stock under the 2005 Restricted Stock Plan each year for three years.

The shares will be awarded on March 31 of each year based upon the closing price on March 31.  The value of each award will be determined based upon the growth in sales and net income for the preceding fiscal year.  If sales and net income each increase by 20% or more for the preceding fiscal year, the value of the award will be $500,000.  Growth of less than 10% in sales and net income will result in an award of zero.  Growth of between 10% and 20% will result in an award between zero and $500,000.  The first award under this program will be issued on March 31, 2012.  This program replaces a similar three-year program which expired on March 31, 2011.

On May 4, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of DXP Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company"_ modified the employment agreement dated as of June 1, 2004, between the Company and Mac McConnell to change the bonus from 0.75% of profit before income tax to the incentive bonus plan in effect for the other senior vice presidents of the Company.

Exhibit 10.1

Amendment No. One to Employment Agreement dated as of June 1, 2004, between DXP Enterprises, Inc. and Mac McConnell.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend said Employment Agreement pursuant to the provisions hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, and agreements set out below, the parties agree as follows:

1.      All terms defined in the Agreement, which are used in this First Amendment, shall have the same meaning as set forth in the agreement except as specifically changed or modified hereby.

2.      Section 1.4(b) is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced by the following:  In addition to base salary, the Executive shall be paid an incentive cash bonus each quarter.  The incentive cash bonus will be calculated by multiplying the company's profit before income tax by two percentages.  Profit before income tax, up to a maintenance amount ($32,132,000 for 2011), will be multiplied by a percentage.  Profit before income tax above the maintenance amount will be multiplied by a higher percentage.  The two percentages will be determined from a grid based upon the percentage determined by dividing profit before income tax by sales for the period.  The grid for 2011 follows:
