In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control.

	3.
	Events Occurring Prior to Full Vesting.

		
	(a)
	Death or Disability. If your employment with the Company terminates as a result of your death or Total and Permanent Disability, the unvested Phantom Units then held by you automatically will become fully vested upon such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, your "Total and Permanent Disability" means that you are qualified for long-term disability benefits under the Company's long-term disability plan or insurance policy; or, if no such plan or policy is then in existence or you are not eligible to participate in such plan or policy, that you, because of a physical or mental condition resulting from bodily injury, disease, or mental disorder, are unable to perform your duties of employment for a period of six (6) continuous months, as determined in good faith by the Committee.

		
	(b)
	Other Terminations. If your employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than as provided in Paragraph 3(a) above, all unvested Phantom Units then held by you automatically shall be forfeited without payment upon such termination.

For purposes of this Paragraph 3, you will not be deemed to have terminated employment for so long as you maintain continuous status as an Employee or a Director of the Company or any Affiliate.
		
	4.
	Payment. If vesting of a Phantom Unit shall occur pursuant to Paragraph 2 or 3(a), above, then as soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of such Phantom Unit, but not later than seven days thereafter, you shall be paid a lump sum payment in Units equal to the number of vested Phantom Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Committee 

may, in its sole discretion, direct that payment be made to you in the form of cash (in lieu of units) for each vested Phantom Unit. 
		
	5.
	Limitations Upon Transfer. All rights under this Agreement shall belong to you alone and may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated by you in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt by you to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of such rights contrary to the provisions in this Agreement or the Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such rights, such rights shall immediately become null and void.

		
	6.
	Restrictions. By accepting this grant, you agree that any Units that you may acquire upon payment of this Award will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. You also agree that (i) any certificates representing the Units acquired under this Award may bear such legend or legends as the Committee deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws and any restrictions set forth in this Agreement, (ii) the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the Units to be acquired under this Award on the transfer records of the Partnership if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Partnership constitute a violation of any applicable securities law, and (iii) the Partnership may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Units to be acquired under this Award.

		
	7.
	Withholding of Taxes. To the extent that the grant, vesting or payment of a Phantom Unit results in the receipt of compensation by you with respect to which the Company or an Affiliate has a tax withholding obligation pursuant to applicable law, unless other arrangements have been made by you that are acceptable to the Company or such Affiliate, you shall deliver to the Company or the Affiliate such amount of money as the Company or the Affiliate may require to meet its withholding obligations under such applicable law. If you fail to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from any cash or Unit remuneration (including withholding any Units to be distributed to you under this Agreement) then or thereafter payable to you any tax required to be withheld by reason of such resulting compensation income. No payment of a vested Phantom Unit shall be made pursuant to this Agreement until you have paid or made arrangements approved by the Company or the Affiliate to satisfy in full the applicable tax withholding requirements of the Company or Affiliate with respect to such event. You may request that the Committee settle in cash, rather than in Units, a portion of any vested and payable Phantom Units to provide for the satisfaction of any tax withholding obligation resulting from such Phantom Units, and the Committee will determine the approval or the Company's performance of such request on a case by case basis.

		
	8.
	Rights as Unitholder. Phantom Units awarded under the Plan do not have voting nor consent rights. You, or your executor, administrator, heirs, or legatees shall have the right to vote and receive distributions on Units and all the other privileges of a unitholder of the Partnership only from the date of issuance of a Unit certificate in your name representing payment of a vested Phantom Unit.

	9.
	Insider Trading Policy. The terms of the Company's Insider Trading Policy with respect to Units are incorporated herein by reference. The timing of delivery of any Units pursuant to a vested Phantom Unit shall be subject to and comply with such Policy.

		
	10.
	Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company and upon any person lawfully claiming under you.

		
	11.
	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and contains all the covenants, promises, representations, warranties and agreements between the parties with respect to the Award granted hereby.

		
	12.

TRANSITION AND RELEASE AND WAIVER AGREEMENT 

The following is a Transition and Release and Waiver Agreement (“Agreement”) between Daniel C. Campbell, the undersigned Employee (referred to as “you” or “your”) and American Midstream GP, LLC (“COMPANY”) together with its past and present officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates (including without limitation, American Midstream Partners, LP a Delaware limited partnership), predecessors, successors and assigns, regarding your employment with COMPANY and separation from employment.

Section A - Separation - Your separation from COMPANY will be effective September 2, 2016.  The applicable date is your last day of work and your “Termination Date” for purposes of this Agreement. 

Section B - Consideration - COMPANY will, as consideration for your release and compliance with the promises set forth in this Agreement, pay you additional compensation (“Severance Payment”) that you would not otherwise be entitled to.  A portion of the Severance Payment set forth under this Agreement fulfills the COMPANY’S obligations to offer certain payment upon your termination of employment (“Promised Severance”) provided under Article 4 of that certain employment agreement between you and the COMPANY dated April 2, 2012 (“Employment Agreement”).  COMPANY, in entering this Agreement, does not admit that it is legally obligated to make any payment (other than the Promised Severance provided that you satisfy certain conditions set forth in the Employment Agreement) and denies that it is responsible or legally obligated for any claims or that it has engaged in any improper conduct or wrongdoing.
 
		
	a)
	Subject to the terms of this Agreement, as a Severance Payment, you will receive a gross payment of $628,750 in cash less deductions required by law.  This payment will be paid in lump sum on the next regular payroll date following the later of the Effective Date (as defined in Section D of this Agreement) or your Termination Date.  The COMPANY shall treat such payment as compensation from which federal and state withholding and payroll taxes shall be deducted. 

		
	b)
	In addition, and also subject to the terms of this Agreement and as an additional Severance Payment, your unvested LTIP Phantom Units specified below under the COMPANY’S Third Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Plan will be vested as of the later of the Effective Date or your Termination Date and will be issued to your account as Common Units of American Midstream Partners, LP (“AMID”) within approximately 7 calendar days of such date and the COMPANY shall treat such payment as compensation from which federal and state withholding and payroll taxes shall be deducted.

Other than the LTIP Phantom Units specified above, all other unvested outstanding awards under the LTIP are forfeited.

		
	c)
	The COMPANY shall pay you for all earned but unused PTO as of the Termination Date, payable in lump sum on the next regular payroll date following the later of the Effective Date or your Termination Date and the COMPANY shall treat such payment as compensation from which federal and state withholding and payroll taxes shall be deducted.

		
	d)
	Participation in all benefit welfare plans will cease as of the date provided under the terms of the applicable plan.  You will receive a payment equal to $28,701. This payment will be paid in lump sum on the next regular payroll date following the later of the Effective Date or your Termination Date and the COMPANY shall treat such payment as compensation from which federal and state withholding and payroll taxes shall be deducted.  If you choose to elect COBRA coverage, you will need to complete the appropriate paperwork and submit to the Company’s third party COBRA administrator.  

		
	e)
	You are expected to continue to effectively perform your job and actively participate in the transition of duties (including transfer of knowledge), in order to remain employed and get paid, through the Termination Date.  During this time, you shall continue to report to and take direction from Lynn Bourdon, President & CEO.  Your entitlement to receive the Severance Payment is conditional upon: (1) your active employment on and up to your Termination Date; (2) the approval by Lynn Bourdon and the chairperson of the COMPANY’S Audit Committee, of the successful transition of your duties, as defined in Exhibit A to this Agreement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; and (3) your fulfillment of your other obligations under this Agreement.  You shall be reimbursed for all reasonable travel costs and expenses through your Termination Date in accordance with COMPANY policies and past practice.  

		
	f)
	You and the COMPANY acknowledge that the following provisions of the Employment Agreement survive the termination of your employment with the COMPANY: paragraphs 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.7, 5.8, Article 6, and Article 7 (except paragraph 7.2).  Except for those provisions just listed, upon execution of this Agreement by all parties, expiration of applicable waiting periods described herein below without revocation, and payment or delivery of all consideration described hereunder, and for the same consideration recited herein, you agree that the Employment Agreement is terminated as of the Termination Date.  The consideration provided for under this Agreement is greater than and in lieu of any compensation that otherwise would be payable under the Employment Agreement or COMPANY plan or policy, and you waive and disclaim any rights to additional compensation under any such agreements, plans or policies.  

		
	g)
	For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the COMPANY has waived all rights and you are released from the Non-Competition Obligations set forth in paragraph 5.6 of the Employment Agreement and associated covenants.

In consideration for the Severance Payment set out in Section B above, you agree to forever, unequivocally and unconditionally release from and covenant not to sue or assert against COMPANY or any AMID Affiliate any and all causes of action, whether at law or in equity, pertaining to or arising from the employment relationship of the parties and the termination of such employment relationship based in whole or in part upon any act or omission occurring on or before the date of this Agreement, whether negligent or intentional without regard to your present actual knowledge of the act or omission.  The Release does not affect your right to file a charge with or participate before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, or any similar state or local agency.  However you agree that in the event you bring a claim covered by the foregoing release in which you seek damages or other remedies against COMPANY or AMID Affiliate or in the event you seek to recover against COMPANY or AMID Affiliate in any claim brought by a government agency on your behalf, this agreement shall serve as a complete defense to such claims and that you are expressly waiving the right to recover damages and attorney’s fees from any such proceeding.  As used in this Agreement, “AMID Affiliate” shall mean the COMPANY together with American Midstream Partners, LP (a Delaware limited partnership) and its and their subsidiaries and parent companies, their affiliates (including without limitation, ArcLight Capital Partners and subsidiaries and affiliates), and their past and present officers, directors, equity holders, members, managers,  employees, agents, investors, attorneys, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, benefit plans, plan administrators, insurers, trustees, divisions, and subsidiaries and their predecessors, successors and assigns.

Causes of action as used in this section shall mean all claims, causes, judgments, damages, losses, liabilities and demands, of any kind and nature whatsoever, whether intentional or negligent, known or unknown, in law or in equity, individually or as part of a class action, occurring on or prior to the date of execution of this Agreement, arising under any constitution, federal, state, or local law(s) including but not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Colorado Anti-Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, or arising from any theory under common law such as breach of contract, express or implied promissory estoppel, wrongful discharge, tortious interference with contract rights, infliction of emotional distress, and defamation, excepting only vested retirement benefits (if any), COBRA rights, unemployment compensation, and workers’ compensation.  

Section D - Older Workers Benefit Protection Act   - The release contained in Section C above includes a release and waiver of any and all claims Employee has or may have pursuant to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.

	c)
	You have forty-five (45) days from the date of receipt of this Agreement to consider this Agreement.  You acknowledge that if you sign this Agreement before the end of the forty-five (45) day period, it will be your personal, voluntary decision to do so and that you have not been pressured to make a decision sooner.

		
	d)
	You have seven (7) days after signing this Agreement to revoke the Agreement, and the Agreement will not be effective until that revocation period has expired (the “Effective Date”).  If mailed, the rescission must be postmarked within the seven- (7) day period, properly addressed to American Midstream, 919 Milam St., Houston, TX 77002 Attn: Fredrick Terry, Director of Human Resources.

Section E - Ongoing Cooperation.  You agree to cooperate with the COMPANY in the transition of your prior role and position to others.  You agree for a period of six (6) months after your Termination Date to be available for and timely respond to telephone calls, e-mails, inquiries and questions related to the operation of the COMPANY in order to facilitate the transfer of information about the status of business related to the COMPANY.  To the extent that the COMPANY requests assistance from you under this Section E during the period six (6) months after your Termination Date, you will not be compensated for the first four hours you spend assisting the COMPANY in a given week.  If you spend more than four hours providing assistance in a given week during the period six (6) months after your Termination Date, the COMPANY shall compensate you at a reasonable hourly rate of $300.00 for each hour beyond four.  Nothing in this Section E prevents the COMPANY from requesting assistance from you and you agreeing to provide assistance after the period six (6) months after your Termination Date, provided that the COMPANY compensates you at a reasonable and mutually agreed upon hourly rate for all time spent assisting the COMPANY.  In the event that you provide any assistance to the COMPANY after the Termination Date, the COMPANY shall reimburse you for reasonable out of pocket expenses consistent with past practice.

It will not be deemed a breach of this Section F if a current employee of the COMPANY responds to a general advertisement for employment not specifically targeted at any employees of the COMPANY.

Section G - Miscellaneous

		
	a)
	Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid for any reason, such clause shall be modified to the extent possible to comply with the stated intent, and in any case such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions.  Such remaining provisions shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid provisions never had been inserted in the Agreement except as modified as aforesaid.

4

		
	b)
	Receipt of Agreement.  You acknowledge that you received this Agreement on August 24, 2016.

For avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that you own your cell phone and the phone number associated with it, your laptop and associated monitors and docking station and such property is not subject to the requirement in this provision to return COMPANY property.

		
	d)
	Entire Agreement:  This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between you and COMPANY your employment with and separation from COMPANY and the events leading thereto and associated therewith, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning your relationship with COMPANY except as provided in Section B above.
