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

On January 10, 2015, Joseph C. Tusa, Jr. gave notice of his resignation as Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of USA Compression GP, LLC (“GP LLC”), the general partner of USA Compression Partners, LP (the “Partnership”).  Mr. Tusa’s resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Partnership or GP LLC relating to either entity’s operations, policies or practices.

On January 10, 2015, Matthew C. Liuzzi was appointed to the position of Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of GP LLC. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Liuzzi, age 39, served as Senior Vice President—Strategic Development of GP LLC since April 2013. Mr. Liuzzi joined the Partnership after nine years in investment banking, since October 2008 at Barclays where he was most recently a Director in the Global Natural Resources Group in Houston.

In connection with his appointment as Senior Vice President—Strategic Development, Mr. Liuzzi entered into an employment agreement, dated April 17, 2013, with USA Compression Management Services, LLC, a subsidiary of GP LLC. Such agreement will continue to govern Mr. Liuzzi’s employment relationship with the Partnership in Mr. Liuzzi’s new position described above. The information below summarizes the material terms of Mr. Liuzzi’s employment agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the employment agreement filed herein as Exhibit 10.1.  The employment agreement has an initial two-year term and will be extended automatically for successive twelve-month periods thereafter unless either party delivers written notice to the other within 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-current employment term.  In 2015, Mr. Liuzzi will receive an annual base salary of $310,000 and will be entitled to participate in a discretionary annual incentive bonus compensation program, under which incentive awards are determined annually, with reference to an initial target bonus of $217,000. Mr. Liuzzi is also eligible to receive other benefits generally available to all employees.

In addition, Mr. Liuzzi’s employment agreement provides that upon termination of employment either by the Partnership for convenience or due to Mr. Liuzzi’s resignation for Good Reason (as defined within the employment agreement), subject to the timely execution of a general release of claims, Mr. Liuzzi will be entitled to receive (i) an amount equal to one times his annual base salary, payable in equal semi-monthly installments over one year following termination (or, if such termination occurs within two years following a change in control, in a lump sum within 30 days following the termination of employment) and (ii) continued coverage for 24 months under our group medical plan in which Mr. Liuzzi and any of his dependents were participating immediately prior to his termination. Additionally, upon a termination of employment by the Partnership for convenience, by Mr. Liuzzi for Good Reason, or due to the his death or disability (each term as defined within the employment agreement), Mr. Liuzzi will be entitled to receive (i) an amount equal to one times his annual bonus (up to his target annual bonus) for the immediately preceding year and (ii) a pro-rata portion of any earned annual bonus for the year in which termination occurs.  Notwithstanding the time frames for payment of severance benefits noted above, in the event that Mr. Liuzzi is a “specified employee” (as defined within Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”)) at the time of his termination of employment, any amounts that are not otherwise exempt from Section 409A may be delayed for a six-month period following such a termination.  During his employment and for two years following a termination of employment, Mr. Liuzzi’s employment agreement prohibits him from competing with the Partnership’s business.

On May 5, 2014, Michael D. Lenox, age 38, was appointed Vice President — Finance and Chief Accounting Officer of GP LLC and was designated the principal accounting officer of the Partnership. Mr. Lenox joined the Partnership in March 2014 and prior to this appointment served as Vice President — Finance of GP LLC.  Mr. Lenox had previously served as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of the general partner of each of Inergy, L.P. and Inergy Midstream, L.P. (collectively, “Inergy”) since September 2012, Vice President and Corporate Controller of Inergy since November 2011 and Director of Financial Reporting of Inergy since 2007.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Lenox and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed to Vice President — Finance and Chief Accounting Officer. There is no relationship between Mr. Lenox and the Partnership that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 17, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) by and between USA Compression Management Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (hereafter the “Company”), and Matthew C. Liuzzi (“Employee”).

WHEREAS, Employee and the Company desire to enter into this Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained herein, Employee and the Company, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1.                                      Employment.  During the Employment Period (as defined in Section 4 below), the Company shall employ Employee, and Employee shall serve, as Senior Vice President—Strategic Development of the Company.

2.                                      Duties and Responsibilities of Employee.

(a)                                 During the Employment Period, Employee shall: (i) devote all of Employee’s business time and attention to the business of the Company and its Affiliates (as defined below) (collectively, the “Company Group”, which term shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, any subsidiaries or other entities that become Affiliates of the Company from and after the date hereof), as applicable, (ii) will act in the best interests of the Company Group and (iii) will perform with due care Employee’s duties and responsibilities. Employee’s duties will include those normally incidental to the position of senior strategic development officer, as well as whatever additional duties may be assigned to Employee by the Chief Executive Officer or the board of directors of USA Compression GP, LLC (the “Board”), which duties may include, without limitation, providing services to members of the Company Group in addition to the Company. Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Board and not to engage in any activity that interferes with the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder. During the Employment Period, Employee will not hold any type of outside employment, engage in any type of consulting or otherwise render services to or for any other person or business concern without the advance written consent of the Board; provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude Employee from managing private investments, participating in industry and/or trade groups, engaging in volunteer civic, charitable or religious activities, serving on boards of directors of charitable not-for-profit entities or, with the consent of the Board, which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld, serving on the board of directors of other entities, in each case as long as such activities, individually or in the aggregate, do not materially interfere or conflict with Employee’s responsibilities to the Company.

(b)                                 Employee represents and covenants that Employee is not the subject of or a party to any employment agreement, non-competition covenant, nondisclosure agreement, or any other agreement, covenant, understanding, or restriction that would prohibit Employee from executing this Agreement or the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of USA Compression Holdings, LLC, dated as of December 23, 2010 (as amended, the “Operating Agreement”) and fully performing Employee’s duties and responsibilities hereunder or thereunder, or would in any manner, directly or indirectly, limit or affect the duties and responsibilities that may now or in the future be assigned to Employee hereunder.

(c)                                  Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee owes the Company Group a duty of loyalty as a fiduciary of the Company Group, and that the obligations described in this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligations Employee owes the Company Group under the common law.

3.                                      Compensation.

(a)                                 During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to Employee an annualized base salary of $275,000 (the “Base Salary”) in consideration for Employee’s services under this Agreement, payable on a bi-weekly basis, in conformity with the Company’s customer payroll practices for similarly situated employees. The Board will annually review the Base Salary, which may be increased but not decreased during the Employment Period based on Employee’s performance and market conditions.

(b)                                 During the Employment Period, Employee shall be entitled to participate in the bonus programs established for employees of the Company, as may be amended from time to time. The performance targets that must be achieved in order to be eligible for certain bonus levels shall be established by the Board each year within 90 days following the start of the applicable fiscal year, in its sole discretion, and communicated to Employee. If the Board determines that Employee meets the performance targets established for a particular fiscal year, then his bonus for that year (the “Annual Bonus”) will be in an amount up to $175,000 (the “Target Annual Bonus”), in accordance with the terms of the bonus program in effect for the applicable year, which amount shall be prorated for less than a full year of service for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. In addition, in the event Employee outperforms and exceeds the performance targets established for a particular fiscal year, Employee may receive an additional outperformance bonus for the applicable year, in an amount determined in the sole discretion of the Board (an “Outperformance Bonus”). The Annual Bonus and any Outperformance Bonus shall be paid no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Annual Bonus or Outperformance Bonus is earned, and shall not be payable unless

2

Employee remains employed by the Company on the date that such bonus is paid, except in the case of a termination of Employee due to the death or Disability of Employee, by the Company for convenience, or a resignation by Employee for Good Reason, in which case Employee will be entitled to (i) the entire amount of any earned Annual Bonus for the year preceding the year in which Employee dies, becomes Disabled, is terminated by the Company for convenience or resigns for Good Reason and (ii) a pro rata portion (based on the number of days employed during the year) of any earned Annual Bonus for the year in which Employee dies, becomes Disabled, is terminated by the Company for convenience or resigns for Good Reason in each case in the year following the year to which the applicable bonus relates.

4.                                      Term of Employment. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”).  On the second anniversary of the Effective Date and on each subsequent anniversary thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew and extend for a period of 12 months (each such 12-month period being a “Renewal Term”) unless written notice of non-renewal is delivered from either party to the other not less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-existing Initial Term or Renewal Term.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Employee’s employment pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated at any time in accordance with Section 6.  The period from the Effective Date through the expiration of this Agreement or, if sooner, the termination of Employee’s employment pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of the time or reason for such termination, shall be referred to herein as the “Employment Period.”

3

(c)                                  Paid Time Off.  During the Employment Period, Employee shall accrue paid time off (“Paid Time Off”) at a rate of 20 days per calendar year during the Employment Period; provided, however, that Employee shall cease accruing Paid Time Off once Employee has accrued 20 unused days’ worth of Paid Time Off, and such accrual will begin again only after Employee has used accrued Paid Time Off such that Employee’s accrued entitlement to Paid Time Off is once again less than 20 days.  Employee shall take Paid Time Off in accordance with all Company policies and with due regard for the needs of the Company Group.

(b)                                Company’s Right to Terminate for Convenience.  The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment for convenience at any time and for any reason, or no reason at all, with written notice to Employee, subject to the provisions of Section 6(g) regarding the severance benefits.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Company’s failure to renew the Agreement at the end of Initial Term or a Renewal Term shall be deemed a termination of Employee’s employment for convenience.

(e)                                  Employee’s Right to Terminate for Convenience.  Employee shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment with the Company for convenience at any time and for any reason, or no reason at all, upon 30 days’ advance written notice to the Company.

(f)                                   Termination upon Non-Renewal of the Agreement.  Except as otherwise mutually agreed between the Company and Employee, if the Company or Employee provides the other party with a written notice of non-renewal of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4, Employee’s employment with Company shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of the then-applicable Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.

(g)                                  Effect of Termination for Convenience or Good Reason Resignation.  If Employee incurs a Separation from Service (as defined below) due to Employee’s employment terminating pursuant to Sections 6(b) or 6(c) (regarding termination for convenience and resignation for Good Reason) above and Employee:  (x) executes within 45 days following the date of

6

Employee’s Separation from Service, and does not revoke, a release of all claims in a form satisfactory to the Company, which such form will be promptly provided by Company to Employee on or before his Separation from Service substantially in the form of release contained at Exhibit A (the “Release”); and (y) abides by Employee’s continuing obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof (regarding confidentiality and non-competition), then Employee shall be entitled to the following, in addition to the amounts described in Section 6(h), and any Annual Bonus or Outperformance Bonus provided for in Section 3(b):

(i)                                     Severance Pay.  The Company shall make severance payments to Employee in an aggregate amount equal to one times Employee’s Base Salary as in effect as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment (or Base Salary for any preceding year in the Employment Period, if greater) (the “Severance Payment”).  If payable, the Severance Payment will be made, as applicable, in equal semi-monthly installments over the one-year period following the date of Employee’s Separation from Service (the “Severance Period’), in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, provided, that any such installment payments that would otherwise be paid prior to the Company’s first regular payroll date that occurs on or after the 60th day following the date of Employee’s Separation from Service (the “First Pay Date”) shall be paid on the First Pay Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Employee’s death during the Severance Period, all remaining Severance Payments due him shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days of Employee’s death.  Likewise, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6(g)(i), in the event of a termination for convenience by the Company or termination by Employee for Good Reason within two years following the occurrence of a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), the Severance Payment shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days of the date of Employee’s Separation from Service.

(ii)                                Continued Health Insurance Benefits.  For a period of 24 months following Employee’s Separation from Service (which period of 24 months shall include and run concurrently with any so-called COBRA continuation period applicable to Employee and/or his eligible dependents under Section 4980B of the Code, and may be subject to Employee and/or his eligible dependents electing such continuation coverage), provided, however, that

7

(A) during the first 12 months of such coverage, the Company shall continue to provide health insurance benefits to Employee and any eligible dependents at the Company’s expense (other than Employee’s monthly cost-sharing contribution under the Company’s group health plan, as in effect on the date of Employee’s Separation from Service), and (B) during the remaining 12 months of such coverage, the Company shall continue to provide health insurance benefits to Employee and any eligible dependents at Employee’s expense.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act and any applicable non-discrimination requirement thereunder or otherwise), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to Employee a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Employee would be required to pay to continue his and his covered dependents’ group health coverage in effect on the Date of Termination for the 12 month period following the date of Employee’s Separation from Service (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), less the amount of Employee’s monthly cost-sharing contribution under the Company’s group health plan, as in effect on the date of Employee’s Separation from Service at employee rates in effect thereunder as of the Separation from Service.

(h)                                 Effect of Termination.  Subject to Section 24 hereof (regarding section 409A compliance), upon the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, all earned, unpaid Base Salary and all accrued, unused Paid Time Off shall be paid to Employee within 30 days of the date of Employee’s termination of employment, or earlier if required by law.  With the exception of any payments to which Employee may be entitled pursuant to Section 5(a) (regarding business expenses) and Section 6(g) (regarding severance benefits), the Company shall have no further obligation under this Agreement to make any payments to Employee.

7.                                      Conflicts of Interest.  Employee agrees that Employee shall promptly disclose to the Board any conflict of interest involving Employee upon Employee becoming aware of such conflict.

8.                                      Confidentiality.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that, in the course of Employee’s employment with the Company and the performance of Employee’s duties on behalf

8

of the Company Group hereunder, Employee will be provided with, and have access to, valuable Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company Group and exchange for other valuable consideration provided hereunder, Employee agrees to comply with this Section 8 and Section 9.

(a)                                 Employee covenants and agrees, both during the term of the Employment Period and thereafter that, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or by directive of the Board, Employee shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity and shall not use any Confidential, Information except for the benefit of the Company Group.  Employee shall take all reasonable precautions to protect the physical security of all documents and other material containing Confidential Information (regardless of the medium on which the Confidential Information is stored).  This covenant shall apply to all Confidential Information, whether now known or later to become known to Employee during the Employment Period.

(ii)                                  “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust, incorporated organization, other entity or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

(f)                                   Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company Group as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the Company Group for which it would have no other adequate remedy, Employee agrees that the foregoing covenant may be enforced by the Company, in the event of breach by Employee, by injunctions and restraining orders and that such enforcement shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company.

(g)                                  The covenants in this Section 9 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant.  Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial . restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the panel or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

12

(h)                                 All of the covenants in this Section 9 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement; and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants.

10.                               Ownership of Intellectual Property.  Employee agrees that the Company shall own, and Employee agrees to assign and does hereby assign, all right, title and interest (including, but not limited, to patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, trademark rights, and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, mask works, designs, ideas and information authored, created, contributed to, made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by Employee during the Employment Period which either (a) relate, at the time of conception, reduction to practice, creation, derivation or development, to the Company Group’s businesses or actual or anticipated research or development, or (b) were developed on any amount of the Company’s time or with the use of any of the Company Group’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as “Company Intellectual Property”); and Employee will promptly disclose all Company Intellectual Property to the Company.  All of Employee’s works of authorship and associated copyrights created during the Employment Period and in the scope of Employee’s employment shall be deemed to be “works made for hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Act.  Employee agrees to perform, during and after the Employment Period, all reasonable acts deemed necessary by the Company Group to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining and enforcing its rights throughout the world in the Company Intellectual Property.  Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation (a) in the filing, prosecution, registration, and memorialization of assignment of any applicable patents, copyrights, mask work, or other applications, (b) in the enforcement of any applicable patents, copyrights, mask work, moral rights, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights, and (c) in other legal proceedings related to the Company Intellectual Property.

11.                               Arbitration.

(a)                                 Subject to Section 11(b), any dispute, controversy or claim between Employee and the Company arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Employee’s employment with the Company will be finally settled by arbitration in Austin, Texas before, and in accordance with the rules for the resolution of employment disputes then in effect of, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  The arbitration award shall be final and binding on both parties.

(b)                                 Any arbitration conducted under this Section 11 shall be heard by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) selected in accordance with the then applicable rules of the AAA.  The Arbitrator shall expeditiously (and, if possible, within 90 days after the selection of the Arbitrator) hear and decide all matters concerning the dispute.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the Arbitrator shall have the power to

13

(i) gather such materials, information, testimony and evidence as he or she deems relevant to the dispute before him or her (and each party will provide such materials, information, testimony and evidence requested by the Arbitrator, except to the extent any information so requested is subject to an attorney-client or other privilege and, if the information so requested is proprietary or subject to a third party confidentiality restriction, the arbitrator shall enter an order providing that such material will be subject to a confidentiality agreement), and (ii) grant injunctive relief and enforce specific performance.  The decision of the Arbitrator shall be rendered in writing, be final, non-appealable and binding upon the disputing parties and the parties agree that judgment upon the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that the parties agree that the Arbitrator and any court enforcing the award of the Arbitrator shall not have the right or authority to award punitive or exemplary damages to any disputing party.

(c)                                  Each side shall share equally the cost of the arbitration and bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that compelling reasons exist for allocating all or a portion of such costs and fees to the other side.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding Section 11(a), an application for emergency or temporary injunctive relief by either party shall not be subject to arbitration under this Section; provided, however, that the remainder of any such dispute (beyond the application for emergency or temporary injunctive relief) shall be subject to arbitration under this Section.

(e)                                  By entering into this Agreement and entering into the arbitration provisions of this Section 11, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL.

(f)                                   Nothing in this Section 11 shall prohibit a party to this Agreement from (i) instituting litigation to enforce any arbitration award, or (ii) joining another party to this Agreement in a litigation initiated by a person or entity which is not a party to this Agreement.

12.                               Defense of Claims.  Employee agrees that, during the Employment Period and thereafter, upon request from the Company, Employee will reasonably cooperate with the Company Group in the defense of any claims or actions that may be made by or against the Company Group that relate to Employee’s actual or prior areas of responsibility, except if Employee’s reasonable interests are adverse to the Company or its Affiliate(s), as applicable, in such claim or action.  The Company agrees to pay or reimburse Employee for all of Employee’s reasonable travel and other direct expenses incurred, or to be reasonably incurred, to comply with Employee’s obligations under this Section, provided, Employee provides reasonable documentation of same and obtains the Company’s prior approval for incurring such expenses.

14

After the expiration of one year following the date of Employee’s Separation from Service, the Company will compensate Employee for the time Employee spends on reasonable cooperation and assistance at the Company’s request at a rate per hour calculated, by dividing his annualized Base Salary at the end of the Employment Period by 2,080.

13.                               Withholdings; Deductions.  The Company may withhold and deduct from any payments made or to be made pursuant to this Agreement (a) all federal, state, local and other taxes or other amounts as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling and (b) any deductions consented to in writing by Employee.

14.                               Title and Headings; Construction.  Titles and headings to Sections hereof are for the purpose of reference only and shall in no way limit, define or otherwise affect the provisions hereof.  Any and all Exhibits or Attachments referred to in this Agreement are, by such reference, incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes.  The words “herein”, “hereof, “hereunder” and other compounds of the word “here” shall refer to the entire Agreement and not to any particular provision hereof.

16.                               Entire Agreement and Amendment.  This Agreement,-including the Operating Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein; moreover, this Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operating Agreement, the definitions of “Cause” and “Good Reason” in this Agreement shall apply in lieu of those same defined terms in the Operating Agreement when and to the extent those defined terms are applicable to Employee under the Operating Agreement.  This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by both parties hereto.

17.                               Waiver of Breach.  Any waiver of this Agreement must be executed by the party to be bound by such waiver.  No waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party, or of compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party, will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party or any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any subsequent time.  The failure of either party hereto to take any action by reason of any breach will not deprive such party of the right to take action at any time while such breach continues.

18.                               Assignment.  This Agreement is personal to Employee, and neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise transferred by Employee.  The Company may assign this Agreement to any member of the Company Group

Each counterpart may consist of a copy hereof containing multiple signature pages, each signed by one party, but together signed by both parties hereto.

22.                               Deemed Resignations.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and Employee prior to the termination of Employee’s employment, any termination of Employee’s employment shall constitute:  (a) an automatic resignation of Employee as an officer of the Company and each member of the Company Group, as applicable, and (b) an automatic resignation of Employee from the Board (if applicable), from the board of directors or managers of any member of the Company Group (if applicable) and from the board of directors or managers or any similar governing body of any corporation, limited liability entity or other entity in which the Company or any Affiliate holds an equity interest and with respect to which board or similar governing body Employee serves as the Company’s or such Affiliate’s designee or other representative (if applicable).

23.                               Key Person Insurance.  At any time during the Employment Period, the Company shall have the right to insure the life of Employee for the Company’s sole benefit.  The Company shall have the right to determine the amount of insurance and the type of policy.  Employee shall cooperate with the Company in obtaining such insurance by submitting to physical examinations, by supplying all information reasonably required by any insurance carrier and by executing all necessary documents reasonably required by any insurance carrier. Employee shall incur no financial obligation by executing any required document, and shall have no interest in any such policy.

24.                               Compliance with Section 409A.

(a)                                 The severance pay and benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and any ambiguous provision shall be

17

construed in a manner consistent with such intent.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Separation from Service” shall mean Employee’s “separation from service” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) or any successor regulation.  Each separate severance payment and each severance installment payment shall be treated as a separate payment under this Agreement for all purposes.  To the extent that Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-l(i)(l) of the Department of Treasury Regulations, any amounts that would otherwise be payable by reason of such separation from service and are not otherwise exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code will delayed for a period of six months from the date of such Separation from Service, in which case the payments that would otherwise have been paid during such six month period shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month after the date of the Separation from Service and the remainder of such payments, if any, will be made pursuant to their terms.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in-kind benefits and reimbursements provided under this Agreement during any calendar year shall not affect in-kind benefits or reimbursements to be provided in any other calendar year, other than an arrangement providing for the reimbursement of medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, and are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, reimbursement requests must be timely submitted by Employee and, if timely submitted, reimbursement payments shall be promptly made to Employee following such submission, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.  In no event shall Employee be entitled to any reimbursement payments after December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.  This paragraph shall only apply to in-kind benefits and reimbursements that would result in taxable compensation income to Employee.

(c)                                  If any amount payable hereunder would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A of the Code because the timing of such payment is not delayed as provided in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then the payment of such amount shall be delayed and paid, without interest, in a lump sum on the earliest of:  (i) Employee’s death, (ii) the date that is six months after the date of Employee’s Separation from Service with the Company (or if such payment date does not fall on a business day of Company, the next following business day of the Company), or (iii) such earlier date upon which such payment can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without being subject to such additional taxes and interest.

This Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) constitutes the release referred to in that certain Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) dated as of April 17, 2013 by and among Matthew C. Liuzzi (“Employee”) and USA Compression Management Services, LLC (the “Company”).

(a)                                 For good and valuable consideration, including the Company’s provision of a severance payment to Employee in accordance with Section 6(f) of the Employment Agreement, Employee hereby releases, discharges and forever acquits each member of the Company Group and their respective Affiliates (each as defined in the Employment Agreement, provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliates” shall expressly include Riverstone, the entities Controlling it, and its investment funds, partners of its investment funds, and its and their portfolio companies other than the Company) and subsidiaries and the past, present and future stockholders, members, partners, directors, managers, employees, agents, attorneys, heirs, representatives, successors and assigns of the foregoing, in their personal and representative capacities (collectively, the “Company Parties”), from liability for, and hereby waives, any and all claims, damages, or causes of action of any kind related to Employee’s employment with any Company Party, the termination of such employment, and any other acts or omissions related to any matter on or prior to the date of the execution of this Agreement including, without limitation, any alleged violation through the date of this Agreement of:  (i) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; (ii) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; (iii) the Civil Rights Act of 1991; (iv) Section 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as amended; (v) Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; (vi) the Immigration Reform Control Act, as amended; (vii) the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended; (viii) the National Labor Relations Act, as amended; (ix) the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended; (x) the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; (xi) any state anti-discrimination law; (xii) any state wage and hour law; (xiii) any other local, state or federal law, regulation or ordinance; (xiv) any public policy, contract, tort, or common law claim; (xv) any allegation for costs, fees, or other expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters; (xvi) any and all rights, benefits or claims Employee may have under any employment contract, incentive compensation plan or stock option plan with any Company Party or to any ownership interest in any Company Party except as expressly provided in the Employment Agreement and any stock option or other equity compensation agreement between Employee and the Company and (xvii) any claim for compensation or benefits of any kind not expressly set forth in the Employment Agreement or any such stock option or other equity compensation agreement (collectively, the “Released Claims”).  In no event shall the Released Claims include (i) any claim which arises after the date of this Agreement, (ii) any claim to vested benefits under an employee benefit plan, (iii) any claims for contractual payments under the Employment Agreement, or (iv) any claims under the Operating Agreement of the Company.  This Agreement is not intended to indicate that any such claims exist or

(b)                                 Employee agrees not to bring or join any lawsuit against any of the Company Parties in any court relating to any of the Released Claims.  Employee represents that Employee has not brought or joined any lawsuit or filed any charge or claim against any of the Company Parties in any court or before any government agency and has made no assignment of any rights Employee has asserted or may have against any of the Company Parties to any person or entity, in each case, with respect to any Released Claims.

(i)                          He has carefully read this Agreement;
