Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     On August 4, 2011, Exterran Partners, L.P. (“we”) announced the pending departure of Ernie L. Danner, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Exterran GP LLC, our managing general partner, to occur on or around October 31, 2011 (but in no event prior to October 10, 2011 or after December 31, 2011) (the “date of departure”). On the date of departure, Mr. Danner will also resign as President and Chief Executive Officer of Exterran Holdings, Inc. (“Exterran”), a publicly traded company and the owner of our general partner, and as a member of Exterran’s board of directors. At any time prior to October 10, 2011, Exterran’s board of directors may reassign Mr. Danner to another position within the company.
     On August 3, 2011, in connection with his pending departure, Exterran entered into a Separation Agreement with Mr. Danner, as described in Exterran’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on August 4, 2011.
     On August 3, 2011, the compensation committee of Exterran GP LLC’s board of directors approved amendments to each award agreement pursuant to which Mr. Danner was granted outstanding phantom units with distribution equivalent rights (collectively, the “Partnership Award Agreements”) under the Exterran Partners, L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan. The amendments provide that each outstanding phantom unit granted under the Partnership Award Agreements will vest in full upon Mr. Danner’s date of departure.
