Board Structure and Committee Composition

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Board of Directors met four times, the Compensation Committee met four times, the Nominating and Governance Committee met three times, and the Audit Committee met five times. Each director attended all of the meetings of the Board of Directors and committees of which he is a member. DXP does not have a policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of DXP shareholders. One director attended the last meeting of shareholders.

Messrs. Davis, Miller and Halter are the members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee discharges the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of DXP’s executive officers and directors; produces an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in DXP’s proxy statement; provides general oversight of equity compensation plans; and retains and approves the terms of the retention of any compensation consultants and other compensation experts. Other specific duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include: reviewing and approving objectives relevant to executive officer compensation, evaluating performance and determining the compensation of executive officers in accordance with those objectives; approving employment agreements for executive officers; approving and amending DXP’s incentive compensation for executive officers and stock compensation programs (subject to shareholder approval if required); recommending to the Board director compensation; monitoring director and executive stock ownership; and annually evaluating its charter.

The charter for the Compensation Committee is available on DXP’s website at http://www.DXPE.com.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies individuals qualified to become Board members, consistent with criteria approved by the Board; oversees the organization of the Board to discharge the Board’s duties and responsibilities properly and efficiently; and identifies best practices and recommends corporate governance principles, including giving proper attention and making effective responses to shareholder concerns regarding corporate governance. Other specific duties and responsibilities of the Nominating and Governance Committee include: annually assessing the size and composition of the Board; developing membership qualifications for Board committees; defining specific criteria for director independence; monitoring compliance with Board and Board committee membership criteria; coordinating and assisting management and the Board in recruiting new members to the Board; annually, and together with the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, evaluating the performance of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and presenting the results of the review to the Board and to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; reviewing and recommending proposed changes to DXP’s charter or bylaws and Board committee charters; recommending Board committee assignments; reviewing governance-related shareholder proposals and recommending Board responses; and conducting a preliminary review of director independence and the financial literacy and expertise of Audit Committee members.

The charter for the Nominating and Governance Committee is available on DXP’s website at http://www.DXPE.com.

Consideration of Shareholder Nominations

The policy of the Nominating and Governance Committee is to consider properly submitted shareholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Board as described below under “Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors.” In evaluating such nominations, the Nominating and Governance Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board and to address the membership criteria set forth under “Director Qualifications.” Any shareholder nominations proposed for consideration by the Nominating Committee in accordance with DXP’s Bylaws and the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for board membership and should be addressed to:

Corporate Secretary
DXP Enterprises, Inc.
7272 Pinemont
Houston, TX 77040

Director Qualifications

Members of the Board should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values, consistent with longstanding DXP values and standards. They should have broad experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education or public interest. They should be committed to enhancing shareholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience. Their service on other boards of public companies should be limited to a number that permits them, given their individual circumstances, to perform responsibly all director duties.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors

The Nominating and Governance Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Nominating and Governance Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating and Governance Committee through current board members, professional search firms, shareholders, or other persons. These candidates will be evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Nominating and Governance Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider properly submitted shareholder nominations for candidates for the Board. Following verification of the shareholder status of persons proposing candidates, recommendations will be aggregated and considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee at a regularly scheduled meeting prior to the issuance of the proxy statement for DXP’s annual meeting. If any materials are provided by a shareholder in connection with the nomination of a director candidate, such materials will be forwarded to the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee will review materials provided in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a shareholder. In evaluating such nominations, the Nominating and Governance Committee will seek to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board.

Executive Sessions

Executive sessions of non-management directors are held at least two times a year. The sessions are scheduled and chaired by the Chair of the Audit Committee. Any non-management director can request that an additional executive session be scheduled.

Communications with the Board

Securityholders may communicate with the Board by submitting an e-mail to the attention of the Board of Directors at hr@dxpe.com or by mailing correspondence to the Board of Directors c/o Human Resources, 7272 Pinemont, Houston, Texas 77040. All such correspondence will be forwarded to the Board. Communications that are intended specifically for non-management directors should be sent to the attention of the Audit Committee. All such correspondence will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Audit Committee

DXP has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee, which assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for general oversight of the integrity of DXP’s financial statements, DXP’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence, and the performance of DXP’s independent auditors. Messrs. Davis, Miller and Halter are members of the Audit Committee. Among other things, the Audit Committee prepares the Audit Committee report for inclusion in the annual proxy statement; annually reviews the Audit Committee charter; appoints, evaluates and determines the compensation of DXP’s independent auditors; reviews and approves the scope of the annual audit, the audit fee and the financial statements; reviews DXP’s disclosure controls and procedures, internal controls, internal audit function, and corporate policies with respect to financial information; oversees investigations into complaints concerning financial matters; and reviews other risks that may have a significant impact on DXP’s financial statements. The Audit Committee works closely with management as well as DXP’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 with management and has recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The audit Committee also has discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight board in Rule 3200T. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3600T, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence. The Audit Committee has the further responsibility of overseeing DXP’s Business Ethics Policy. The Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from, and receive appropriate funding from DXP for outside legal, accounting or other advisors as the Audit Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties.

Members of the Audit Committee
Cletus Davis
Kenneth M. Miller
Timothy P. Halter

The Board has determined that Audit Committee member Kenneth H. Miller is an audit committee financial expert as defined by Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and is independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing standards. The charter of the Audit Committee is available on DXP’s website at http://www.DXPE.com.

Code of Ethics

DXP has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers (including DXP’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and controller) and employees, known as the Business Ethics Policy. The Business Ethics Policy is available on DXP’s website at http://www.DXPE.com. DXP intends to post amendments to or waivers, if any, from its Business Ethics Policy (to the extent applicable to DXP’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions) at the same location on the DXP website.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Section 16(a)"), requires DXP's officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of DXP equity securities to file statements on Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding ownership. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports which they file. Based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to us we believe that all filing requirements were met during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 with the exception of the directors annual stock award of 3,000 shares which occurred on July 1, 2006 but was not reported on Form 4’s until October 26, 2006.

ITEM 11. Executive Compensation

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

We have adopted a basic philosophy and practice of offering market competitive compensation that is designed to attract, retain and motivate a highly qualified executive management team. With respect to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and the other three most highly-compensated executive officers (collectively referred to as the “Named Executives”), this Compensation Analysis and Discussion describes our compensation philosophy and objectives, the methodologies used for establishing the compensation programs for the Named Executives, and the policies and practices to administer such programs.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
The compensation committee is comprised entirely of non-employee directors. In addition to offering market competitive compensation programs, we place significant emphasis on pay for results where the primary aim is to motivate executive management to achieve the business and strategic objectives that drive shareholder value. Our executive compensation programs have been designed, and are maintained by the compensation committee, to achieve the following objectives:

 
·
To attract and retain talented and experienced executives by offering market competitive compensation programs;
 
·
To encourage teamwork and support a pay-for-results policy; and
 
·
To motivate key executives to achieve strategic business initiatives and to reward them for their achievements.
  
   In pursuit of these objectives, the compensation committee believes that the compensation packages provided to the Named Executives should include both base salary and incentive compensation, with an emphasis on pay based on DXP performance.
 
Methodologies for Establishing Compensation

In determining the appropriate compensation levels for our chief executive officer, the compensation committee meets outside the presence of all our executive officers. With respect to the compensation levels of all other Named Executives, the compensation committee meets with our chief executive officer who makes recommendations to the committee regarding the compensation of the other Named Executives.
 
The compensation committee carefully considers the recommendations of the chief executive officer when making decisions on setting base salary and granting awards under the incentive bonus plans to other Named Executives. The compensation committee similarly determines equity incentive awards for each Named Executive on a case by case basis. In making compensation determinations, the compensation committee acts on the recommendations of the chief executive officer with modifications as deemed appropriate by the compensation committee for Named Executives other than the chief executive officer. The compensation committee determines each element of compensation for the chief executive officer.

The allocation between cash and non-cash compensation for Named Executives is based on the compensation committee’s determination of the appropriate mix among base pay, annual cash incentives and long-term equity incentives to encourage retention and performance. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the elements of the compensation mix include:
 
·
Base salary;
 
·
Incentive cash bonuses;
 
·
Equity based compensation; and
 
·
Broad-based benefits programs 

Base Salary

We establish the base salary of each Named Executive based on consideration of the individual’s performance and experience, company performance and internal equitable considerations to support teamwork. The compensation committee considers the recommendations of our chief executive officer in determining the appropriate base salary levels for the Named Executives. Although the compensation committee believes that competitive base salaries are necessary to attract and retain a highly qualified executive team, it believes that a significant portion of executive compensation should be based on pay for results.

Incentive Cash Bonuses

For our Named Executives, cash incentive payments are calculated as a percentage of pre-tax income and paid monthly. The compensation committee determines the percentage of pre-tax income to be paid to each Named Executive based on its assessment of the participant’s contribution to the organization. The compensation committee considers the recommendations of our chief executive officer in determining the appropriate formula for the incentive bonus plan.

In addition to the cash bonuses payable under the incentive bonus plan, to reward extraordinary performance and achievements, special bonuses may be awarded to the Named Executives from time to time. These special bonus payments are made at the discretion of the compensation committee. With respect to the Named Executives, a special bonus was awarded to the chief executive officer in fiscal year 2006.

Equity-Based Compensation

In 2006, restricted stock awards were granted to two Named Executives to aid in their long-term retention and to align their interests with those of our stockholders. Historically, the compensation committee has emphasized equity-based compensation in the form of stock option grants. However, as a result of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R (“FAS 123(R)”), the compensation committee decided to alter its equity-compensation practices by awarding restricted stock instead of stock options.

The equity-based compensation awarded to the Named Executives is determined by the compensation committee on a case by case basis.

The restricted stock granted in 2006 vests over a five-year period after the grant date subject to the Named Executive’s continued employment with the Company.

Executive Employment Agreements

Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have entered into employment agreements with DXP. Neither agreement contains change in control provisions. The employment agreement for the chief financial officer provides for cash severance in the amount of twelve months of base salary plus the amount of the most recent twelve months of incentive bonuses, if he terminates his employment for “good reason” or is terminated by DXP for other than “cause”. The employment agreement for the chief executive officer provides for cash severance in the amount of the sum of (a) base salary for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement, (b) an amount equal to the most recent twelve months of incentive bonuses and (c) the product of two times the sum of the base salary plus the recent twelve months of incentive bonuses, if he terminates his employment for “good reason” or is terminated by DXP for other than “good cause”. The employment agreement for the chief executive officer provides for the continuation of all employee benefits after termination for the remaining term for the agreement and for an additional tax “gross-up” payment if the payment of severance results in excise tax under Code Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The terms “good cause”, “cause” and “good reason” are defined in the executive employment agreements.

Broad-Based Benefits Programs

These benefits include health, dental, disability and life insurance, paid vacation time and company contributions to a 401(k) profit sharing retirement plan. Benefits are provided to all employees in accordance with practices within the marketplace and are a necessary element of compensation in attracting and retaining employees.

Administrative Policies and Practices

In administering the compensation programs of the Named Executives, the compensation committee meets at least four times a year in conjunction with regularly scheduled Board of Director meetings. The compensation committee also meets telephonically to discuss special items (such as, the payment of special bonuses). The compensation committee members regularly confer with our chief executive officer on matters regarding the compensation of the Named Executives and other executive officers.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The compensation committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the compensation committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

Employment Agreements with Named Executives

Employment Agreements.

DXP has entered into an employment agreement effective January 1, 2004, as amended, with Mr. Little. The agreement is for a term of three years, renewable annually for a term to extend three years from such renewal date. The agreement provides for compensation in a minimum amount of $348,000 per annum, to be reviewed at least annually for possible increases, monthly bonuses equal to 5% of the profit before tax of DXP as shown on the books and records of DXP at the end of each month and other perquisites in accordance with DXP policy. The aggregate of the monthly bonuses in any calendar year must not exceed twice the annual base salary. In the event Mr. Little terminates his employment for “Good Reason” (as defined therein), or is terminated by the Company for other than “Good Cause” (as defined therein), Mr. Little would receive a cash lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) the base salary for the remainder of the employment period under the agreement, (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the most recent 12 months of bonus paid to him, (iii) two times the sum of his current annual base salary plus the total of the most recent 12 months of bonuses, (iv) all compensation previously deferred and any accrued interest thereon, and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company, and (v) continuation of benefits under the Company’s benefit plans for the current employment period. Mr. Little is also entitled under the agreement to certain gross-up payments if an excise tax is imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, which imposes an excise tax on certain severance payments in excess of three times an annualized compensation amount following certain changes in control or any payment of distribution made to him. In the event of Mr. Little’s death, his estate will receive Mr. Little’s base salary in equal bi-weekly installments for a period of twenty-four months after the month of his death.

DXP has entered into an employment agreement effective as of October 1, 2000, with Mr. McConnell. The agreement is for a term of one year, renewable automatically for a one-year term. The agreement provides for (i) base salary in the minimum amount of $150,000 per annum, and (ii) other perquisites in accordance with DXP policy. The agreement provides for a bonus: Mr. McConnell is entitled to a quarterly bonus of three quarters of one percent of the profit before tax of DXP, excluding sales of fixed assets and extraordinary items. The aggregate of the bonuses in any one year may not exceed twice the annual base salary. In the event Mr. McConnell terminates his employment for "Good Reason" (as defined therein), or is terminated by DXP for other than "Cause" (as defined therein), he would receive (i) 12 monthly payments each equal to one month of the current Salary, (ii) a termination bonus equal to the previous four quarterly bonuses and (iii) any other payments due through the date of termination. In the event Mr. McConnell dies, becomes disabled, or terminates the agreement with notice or the agreement is terminated by DXP for Cause, Mr. McConnell or Mr. McConnell's estate, as applicable, would receive all payments then due him under the agreement through the date of termination.

Benefit Plans

Restricted Stock Plan

The DXP Enterprises, Inc., Restricted Stock Plan (“Restricted Stock Plan”) was approved by shareholders on July 15, 2005. The Restricted Stock Plan authorizes the grant of up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock in the form of restricted stock awards as well as other awards. Employees, directors and consultants of DXP are eligible to participate in the Restricted Stock Plan. The Restricted Stock Plan provides that on each July 1, during the term of the plan, each non-employee director of DXP will be granted the number of whole shares of restricted stock determined by dividing $75,000 by the fair market value on such July 1. If there is a change of control of DXP (as defined by the Restricted Stock Plan) all equity awards fully vest. The Restricted Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

In August 1996, DXP established the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"). The LTIP provides for the grant of stock options (which may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options for tax purposes), stock appreciation rights issued independent of or in tandem with such options, restricted stock awards and performance awards to certain key employees. The LTIP is administered by the Compensation Committee. No grants were awarded in 2004, 2005 or 2006 under the LTIP. No future grants of awards will be made under the LTIP.

Employee Stock Option Plan

The Board of Directors and shareholders approved the Employee Stock Option Plan in 1999. The purpose of the Employee Stock Option Plan is to provide those persons who have substantial responsibility for the management and growth of DXP with additional incentives by increasing their ownership interests in DXP. Individual awards under the Employee Stock Option Plan may take the form of either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, the value for which is based in whole or in part upon the value of the Common Stock. No grants were awarded in 2004, 2005 or 2006. No future grants of awards will be made under the Employee Stock Option Plan.

Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan

The Board adopted the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan on April 19, 1999, which was approved by the shareholders on June 8, 1999. The Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended, provided for (i) the grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock to any new non-employee director on the date of his or her election and (ii) the automatic annual grant on May 15 of options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock to non-employee directors. Under the terms of the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, the exercise price of each option was the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. No grants were awarded in 2006. No future grants of awards will be made under the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan.

OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS

During 2006, two of the Named Executives received restricted stock grants, which vest over a five-year period after the grant date subject to the Named Executive’s continued employment with the Company.

Market value of shares of restricted stock that have not vested is calculated by multiplying the number of shares of stock that have not vested by the closing market price of our common stock at December 29, 2006, which was $35.04.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to outstanding equity awards for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 to the Named Executives.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION
 
None of our Named Executives, other than Mr. Little and Mr. McConnell, is entitled to any payments from the Company in the event his or her employment by the Company terminates as a result of death or disability, or as the result of the voluntary or involuntary termination of his or her employment.
 
Mr. Little is not entitled to any payments from the Company in the event his employment by the Company terminates as a result of his death or disability or as the result of his voluntary termination other than for “good reason” or his involuntary termination by the Company for “good cause.” In the event that the Company had terminated Mr. Little’s employment without “good cause” or he had voluntarily terminated with “good reason” on December 31, 2006, Mr. Little would have been entitled to a lump sum severance payment of $4,019,868, and healthcare benefit continuation having a value of $30,181, for a total value of $4,050,049. In the event of Mr. Little’s death, his estate will receive Mr. Little’s base salary in equal bi-weekly installments for a period of twenty-four months after the month of his death. In the event Mr. Little had died on December 31, 2006, his family would have been entitled to payments totaling $696,000.
 
Mr. McConnell is not entitled to any payments from the Company in the event his employment by the Company terminates as a result of his death or disability or as the result of his voluntary termination other than for “good reason” or his involuntary termination by the Company for “good cause.” In the event that the Company had terminated Mr. McConnell’s employment without “good cause” or he had voluntarily terminated with “good reason” on December 31, 2006, Mr. McConnell would have been entitled to a lump sum severance payment of $140,376 and twenty-six bi-weekly payments totaling $170,000.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
Base Compensation. Each of our independent directors receives a fee of $2,000 for each quarterly board meeting. Our directors who are our employees or otherwise are not independent do not receive any compensation for attending board or committee meetings.
 
Restricted Stock. In addition to the compensation set forth above, each non-employee director receives restricted stock granted under our 2005 Restricted Stock Plan. On July 1, 2006, each non-employee director received an automatic grant of 3,000 shares of restricted stock. The shares of restricted stock vest on the anniversary of the date of grant.
 
On July 24, 2006, the Restricted Stock Plan was amended to grant to each non-employee director of DXP the number of whole shares calculated by dividing $75,000 by closing price of the common stock on such July 1. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured based upon the closing prices of DXP’s common stock on the grant dates and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.
 
The table below summarizes the compensation paid by the Company to our Directors, other than Mr. Little, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Mr. Wappler is reimbursed by DXP for Mr. Wappler’s and other DXP employees’ expenses for business use of a plane owned by Mr. Wappler. During 2006, DXP reimbursed him for an aggregate of $20,775 for business use of the plane.

Mr. Vinson is the trustee of three trusts for the benefit of Mr. Little's children, each of which holds 414,060 shares of Common Stock and 5,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Mr. Vinson exercises sole voting and investment power over the shares held by such trusts.

Prior to 2002, the Board had approved DXP making advances and loans to Mr. Little. During 2001 the advances and loans to Mr. Little were consolidated into three notes receivable, each bearing a fixed rate of interest of 3.97 percent per annum and due December 30, 2010. Accrued interest is due annually. On March 31, 2004, as approved by the Board, DXP exchanged two of the notes receivable from Mr. Little with a face value of $338,591, including accrued interest, for 80,619 shares of Common Stock held by three trusts for the benefit of Mr. Little’s children. The shares were valued at the $4.20 per share closing market price on March 31, 2004. The balance of the remaining notes was $799,000 and $840,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During 2006, Mr. Little paid $33,348 of accrued interest and $41,000 of principal to DXP. The largest balance of the note during 2006 was $840,000. The balance of the note outstanding at April 25, 2007 was $799,000. The note is secured by 677,267 shares of DXP common stock.
