Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Shearer LTIC Termination Letter
On May 29, 2013, the general partner of Emerge Energy Services LP (the "Partnership"), Emerge Energy Services GP LLC (the "General Partner"), entered into a letter agreement with Rick Shearer, Chief Executive Officer of the General Partner (the "Shearer Letter Agreement").  Under the Shearer Letter Agreement, (i) the General Partner terminated a pre-existing long-term incentive compensation arrangement with Mr. Shearer and (ii) in connection therewith, the General Partner agreed to pay to Mr. Shearer an amount equal to $4,270,731, payable within ten days following May 29, 2014.  On May 30, 2013, the General Partner funded a rabbi trust with respect to its obligations under the Shearer Letter Agreement.
Walker LTIC Termination Letter
On May 29, 2013, the General Partner entered into a letter agreement with Jim Walker, Director of Operations of the General Partner (the "Walker Letter Agreement").  Under the Walker Letter Agreement, (i) the General Partner terminated a pre-existing long-term incentive compensation arrangement with Mr. Walker and (ii) in connection therewith, the General Partner agreed to pay to Mr. Walker an amount equal to $2,135,366, payable within ten days following May 29, 2014.  On May 30, 2013, the General Partner funded a rabbi trust with respect to its obligations under the Walker Letter Agreement.
Amended Employment Letter of Chief Executive Officer
On May 29, 2013, the General Partner and Mr. Shearer entered into an amended employment letter agreement (the "Amended Shearer Letter") pursuant to which Mr. Shearer will serve as the General Partner's Chief Executive Officer, effective as of the date of the closing of the initial public offering (the "IPO") of the common units of the Partnership.  The Amended Shearer Letter amends and restates the employment letter agreement between Superior Silica Sands, LLC and Mr. Shearer, dated March 23, 2010 and amended May 17, 2011, which was assigned to the General Partner in connection with the IPO.  The Amended Shearer Letter expires on December 31, 2015, unless earlier terminated, and the term of the Amended Shearer Letter is subject to automatic one-year renewals unless either the General Partner or Mr. Shearer gives written notice of termination at least 60 days prior to the end of the applicable term.
Under the Amended Shearer Letter, Mr. Shearer's annual base salary is $360,000, which is subject to automatic annual increases of at least four percent, and Mr. Shearer is eligible to receive an annual discretionary cash performance bonus under the General Partner's bonus plan or program applicable to similarly-situated employees. The Amended Shearer Letter also provides that Mr. Shearer is eligible to participate in the welfare benefit plans maintained by the General Partner on the same basis as similarly-situated employees, and is entitled to an annual physical examination, paid by the General Partner, in an amount up to $3,000 per year.
The Amended Shearer Letter provides that if Mr. Shearer's employment is terminated by the General Partner without "cause" (as defined in the Amended Shearer Letter) or due to Mr. Shearer's death or disability, he will be entitled to receive an amount equal to two times his then-current annual base salary, payable in a lump sum within sixty days following his termination date, subject to his timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims.
Amendment to Employment Letter of Chief Financial Officer
On May 29, 2013, the General Partner entered into an amendment to the employment letter with Robert Lane, Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner (the "Lane Amendment").  Under the Lane Amendment, Mr. Lane is eligible to participate in two long-term incentive compensation programs. Under the first program (the "Distribution LTIC"), Mr. Lane is eligible to receive a cash bonus of up to $100,000 for each of 2013, 2014 and 2015 (pro-rated in 2013 to reflect the partial year following the IPO) based on the amount by which the applicable regular annual distribution made by the Partnership exceeds $58,049,200. Under the second program (the "Unit Price LTIC"), Mr. Lane is eligible to receive a cash
2
bonus of up to $125,000 for each of 2013, 2014 and 2015 (pro-rated in 2013 to reflect the partial year following the IPO) based on the amount by which the average daily trading value of the Partnership's common units for the applicable year exceeds the per unit equity value of the Partnership's common units upon the completion of the IPO. Each of the Distribution LTIC and the Unit Price LTIC will be calculated on an annual basis and will be payable in a cash lump sum after December 31, 2015 (but no later than March 15, 2016), subject to Mr. Lane's continuous employment through December 31, 2015.
Appointment of Chief Accounting Officer
On May 29, 2013, the General Partner appointed Richard DeShazo as its Chief Accounting Officer, and entered into a letter agreement embodying the terms of his employment with the General Partner (the "DeShazo Letter").
Under the DeShazo Letter, Mr. DeShazo's annual base salary is $225,000 and he is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus targeted at 45% of his base salary. With respect to 2013, Mr. DeShazo's bonus, if any, will be determined based on 55%, 35% and 10% of what he would have earned had he participated in the Allied Energy Company LLC, Superior Silica Sands, LLC and Direct Fuels LLC bonus plans, respectively, for the entire year.  In addition, under the DeShazo Letter, Mr. DeShazo is eligible to participate in the welfare benefit plans maintained by the General Partner on the same basis as similarly-situated employees.
The DeShazo Letter provides that if his employment is terminated by the General Partner without "cause" or Mr. DeShazo terminates his employment for "good reason", in each case, within six months following a "change of control" (each, as defined in the DeShazo Letter), then Mr. DeShazo will be entitled to receive (i) an amount equal to his annual base salary and (ii) an amount equal to his target bonus, pro-rated to reflect the partial year of service, in each case payable in a cash lump sum on the sixtieth day following Mr. DeShazo's termination date, subject to his timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims.
