Moreover, if any provision is for any reason held to be unreasonably broad as to time, duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, such provision shall be interpreted and enforced by limiting and reducing it to preserve enforceability to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

		
	13.

	14.
	Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without reference to its choice of law rules.

	Code of Section 409A Compliance

		
	a)
	The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Code Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.  To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic

benefit to the parties hereto of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. 
		
	b)
	An “Employment Separation: shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following an Employment Separation unless such Employment Separation is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to an Employment Separation or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”  If the Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Executive, and (ii) the date of the Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”).  Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. 

		
	c)
	All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Executive (provided that if any such reimbursements constitute taxable income to the Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were incurred), and no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. 

		
	d)
	For purpose of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.  Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within thirty (30) days”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. 

		
	e)
	In no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be offset by any other payment pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.”

 CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT 
 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT, dated as of March 11, 2018 (this
“Agreement”), by and among AMERICAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“AMID”), AMERICAN MIDSTREAM GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the
general partner of AMID (“AMID GP”), and MAGNOLIA INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”). 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, on April 25, 2016, American Midstream Delta House, LLC (“AMID Delta House”), a wholly-owned
indirect subsidiary of AMID, acquired from an Affiliate of Sponsor (i) 912.42349 Class A Units of Delta House FPS LLC (“FPS LLC”) and (ii) 53.54872 Class A Units of Delta House Oil and Gas Lateral LLC
(“Lateral LLC” and, together with FPS LLC, “Delta House”); 
 WHEREAS, on
September 29, 2017, AMID Delta House, through a series of transactions, acquired from Affiliates of Sponsor (i) 19,421.99309 Class A Units of FPS LLC and (ii) 1,139.84662 Class A Units of Lateral LLC (the “2017 Delta House
Transaction”); 
 WHEREAS, Delta House has experienced certain unexpected, temporary production deferrals that have
caused and may continue to cause quarterly distributions from Delta House received by AMID (each, an “Actual Distribution Amount”) to be less than the amount Sponsor and AMID GP anticipated would be distributed to AMID for
such quarters in the absence of such issues (the “Anticipated Distribution Amount”); and 
 WHEREAS, Sponsor
desires to enter into this Agreement to provide additional capital and corporate overhead support to AMID during the first three quarters of 2018 up to the amount of the difference for each such quarter between the Actual Distribution Amount and the
Anticipated Distribution Amount (the “Distribution Difference”). 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE SUPPORT 

1.    Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of American Midstream Partners, LP, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “AMID Partnership Agreement”). 

2.    Funding of Distribution Difference. 

(a)    Sponsor hereby agrees to provide financial contributions to AMID on a quarterly basis, subject to
the provisions of Section 2.1(b), commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2018 and ending with the quarter ending September 30, 2018 as set forth in 2(b) below. 

(b)    Not later than five (5) business days after the receipt by AMID Delta House of the Actual
Distribution for a calendar quarter, AMID shall provide notice (the “Distribution Notice”) in writing to Sponsor of the Actual Distribution Amount if any, for such calendar quarter, together with supporting financial
information. Sponsor and AMID GP shall determine the relevant Distribution Difference and Sponsor shall transfer, or cause to be transferred by a controlled affiliate of Sponsor holding Partnership Interests, at Sponsor’s designation
(Sponsor or such transferor, the “Contributor”), cash to AMID GP in an amount up to the Distribution Difference at a mutually agreed time and pursuant to any other terms agreed to by Sponsor and AMID GP (each, a
“Contribution Payment”).

 (d)     The Contribution Payments provided by Contributor
shall not constitute indebtedness or otherwise create any repayment obligation of AMID, or for AMID to issue any equity or other securities to Sponsor or its Affiliates in consideration thereof, provided, however that Sponsor and AMID GP may elect
to wholly or partially offset by the amount of any Contribution Payment any other support or reimbursement payments from Sponsor or its controlled affiliates to which AMID may otherwise be or become entitled. 

(e)    The parties will treat for federal income tax purposes the net amount of any Contribution Payments
made hereunder as a contribution of cash by Contributor to AMID in a transaction pursuant to Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and AMID shall, pursuant to Section 5.5 of the AMID Partnership Agreement, cause the
Capital Account of Contributor to be positively adjusted by a corresponding amount. 
 3.    Further
Assurances. From time to time, (a) upon AMID’s request and without further consideration, Sponsor shall execute and deliver, or cause its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, such additional documents and take all such further
action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to effect the actions and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) upon Sponsor’s request and without further consideration, AMID or AMID GP shall execute and
deliver, or cause its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to effect the actions and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 4.    Termination. The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect
upon the earlier of (i) payment of the financial support, if any, for the quarter ending September 30, 2018 and (ii) mutual written consent of the parties (the “Termination Date”); provided that nothing in
this Section 4 shall relieve or otherwise limit any party of liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such Termination Date. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further
obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. 
 5.    Notices. Any notice, request, instruction,
correspondence or other document to be given hereunder by any party to another party (each, a “Notice”) shall be in writing and delivered in person or by courier service requiring acknowledgment of receipt of delivery or
mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, or by email, as follows; provided that copies to be delivered below shall not be required for effective notice and shall not constitute notice:

 7.    Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and, solely to the extent of the defined terms referenced herein, the AMID Partnership Agreement, together with the exhibits annexed hereto, embody the complete agreement and understanding among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written and oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

 8.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable Law, the provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto

and shall continue to be (a) subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, and (b) subject to service of process in the State of Delaware. EACH PARTY
HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (I) CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, INCLUDING THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY IN AND FOR NEW CASTLE COUNTY (THE
“DELAWARE COURTS”) FOR ANY ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (AND AGREES NOT TO COMMENCE ANY LITIGATION RELATING THERETO EXCEPT IN SUCH COURTS),
(II) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION IN THE DELAWARE COURTS AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY DELAWARE COURT THAT SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT THEREIN HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN ANY INCONVENIENT FORUM,

PROCESS UPON SUCH PARTY IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE EFFECTIVE IF SUCH PROCESS IS GIVEN AS A NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5 OR IN ANY MANNER PRESCRIBED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE. 

9.    Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by
AMID, AMID GP and Sponsor. Each party may waive any right of such party hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party and delivered to the other parties hereto. 

10.    Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly contemplated herein,
neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations of any party under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part (by operation of law or otherwise), by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties
hereto. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

 
11.    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of
applicable Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not affected
in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as
to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
