Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 5, 2014, the board of directors of Emerge Energy GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of Emerge Energy Services LP (the “Partnership”), adopted a second amendment to the employment letter with Robert Lane, Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner (the “Second Amendment”).

Under the Second Amendment, Mr. Lane’s annual base salary was increased to $275,000, effective July 1, 2014. In addition, under the Second Amendment, Mr. Lane acknowledged (i) that he participated in two long-term incentive programs with respect to 2013, under which he is eligible to receive a cash payment of $146,096, subject to his continued employment through December 31, 2015 and (ii) that the long-term incentive programs in which he was eligible to participate for 2014 and 2015 are canceled and terminated.

The Second Amendment also provides that Mr. Lane will be granted, on each of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 (subject to his continued employment through the applicable grant date), a phantom unit award covering a number of the Partnership’s units equal to $275,000, divided by the per-share closing price of a unit on August 29, 2014. Each phantom unit award will vest in full on December 31, 2015, subject to Mr. Lane’s continued employment, and the phantom unit award granted in 2014 will accelerate and vest in full immediately prior to a “change in control” (as defined in the Partnership’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan).

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
