EXHIBIT 10.62

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE AND WAIVER

This Separation Agreement and Release and Waiver (“Agreement”) is entered into
by and between American Midstream GP, LLC (“American Midstream”) and Michael D.
Suder (“Suder”) and effective November 21, 2016. Suder and American Midstream
are also referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” or collectively
as “Parties”.
1.    Background. Suder served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of
American Midstream’s wholly owned subsidiary Blackwater Midstream Holdings LLC
and its affiliates (“Blackwater”). Suder resigned his position by agreement,
effective November 21, 2016 (“Date of Termination”). Suder has an Employment
Agreement with American Midstream dated effective December 17, 2013, as modified
and amended on November 4, 2015, and March 7, 2016 (collectively “EA”) all
attached as Exhibit 1 to this Agreement. The Parties agree to Suder’s
resignation and to fully compromise any disagreements and fully settle all
matters between them, including Suder’s employment, as set forth below.
2.    Consideration. American Midstream agrees:
a.
That it will pay Suder severance pay, consisting of money that American
Midstream is not obligated to pay Suder, less applicable taxes and other
withholdings, as follows:

i.
$300,000 to be paid in bi-weekly installments for 52 weeks pursuant to American
Midstream’s payroll schedule with the first payment to be December 2, 2016.

ii.
During the 12-month period following the Date of Termination, to the extent that
Suder (and his eligible dependents as of the Date of Termination) are eligible
for and elect continuation (COBRA) coverage under any medical, vision and dental
benefit plans (excluding disability insurance) maintained by American Midstream
under which Suder was covered immediately prior to the Date of Termination,
American Midstream agrees to pay the benefit administrator on behalf of Suder a
taxable amount equal to the amount (if any) that American midstream contributes
towards the cost of coverage for a similarly situated active employee. Such
amount may be taxable to Suder, and will be paid monthly through the 12 month
anniversary of the Date of Termination.    

b.
Suder agrees that American Midstream has paid him all of the compensation it
owed him under his EA and any amendments or related documents, and that it does
not owe him the above monetary consideration unless he executes this Agreement.
He further agrees that the above consideration represents the complete
satisfaction and compromise of all disputes or potential disputes between him
and American Midstream.

c.
Suder agrees that should he breach this Agreement or any of the provisions of
the EA that are referenced in Paragraph 5 below, he will not be entitled to the
consideration referenced in (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above other than the first of the
52 weeks payments referenced in (a)(i). In the event American Midstream has made
additional payments to Suder prior to his breach, he agrees that he must repay
those additional payments immediately, and agrees to judgment against him for
that amount, plus attorneys’ fees incurred by American Midstream in addressing
Suder’s breach. After Suder’s breach, or suspected breach, American Midstream
has the right to cease all payments referenced in (a)(i) and (ii) above to Suder
that it has not already paid, other than the first of the 52 weeks payments.

3.    Release of Claims by Suder. Suder, for himself and his family, heirs,
executors and administrators, fully and finally waives, discharges and
unconditionally and irrevocably releases American Midstream 1, from any and all
claims and rights of any kind (including, without limitation, causes of action
for costs, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, exemplary and punitive
damages, and injunctive relief) that Suder may have, whether now known or
unknown, suspected or unsuspected, including, but not limited to, claims arising
out of or in any way connected with Suder’s employment with and/or termination
of his employment from American Midstream.

The claims and rights Suder releases include, but are not limited to: (a) claims
for breach of contract, defamation, tortious interference with contract,
“wrongful termination,” and all other common law claim; (b) all Federal
statutory claims, such as claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Fair Labor
Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (including claims for retaliation), the Older Workers
Benefit Protection Act, the Workers’ Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act;
and all claims under the statutory law of any State, including Louisiana, Texas,
and Colorado, for example; and (c) all other claims that Suder could bring due
to his employment, his termination of employment, or for any other reason.
