Exhibit 10.20
ALTUS MIDSTREAM COMPANY
Non-Employee Directors’ Restricted Stock Units Plan
This Agreement is made as of the [date], between Altus Midstream Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [Name] (the “Director”).
1. | Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units Plan (the “Plan”), the Company hereby grants to the Director, as of the date of this Agreement, a Restricted Stock Unit award (an “RSU Award”) of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) the number of which is calculated by dividing $[______] by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of a share of Stock (as defined below) on the grant date. Each RSU is equivalent in value to one share of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Stock”). The number of RSUs may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Plan, including, but not limited to the terms set forth in Sections 6.1 through 6.4 of the Plan. |
2. | Director Bound by Plan. Attached is a copy of the Plan which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. The Director acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. |
3. | Restrictions. The RSU Award is subject to the following restrictions: |
(a) | One hundred percent (100%) of this RSU Award shall vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, whether the Director remains a member of the Board on such date or not. |
4. | Privileges of a Stockholder and Payment. The Director shall have no voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any RSU. The RSU Award entitles the Director to receive an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the number of shares of Stock underlying the RSUs and comprising the RSU Award. Upon vesting, the applicable amount of cash, subject to required tax withholding, shall be paid by the Company to the Director within thirty (30) days of the vesting date set forth in Section 3(a) above. There are three situations that could change this payout schedule. First, if there is a Change of Control, the Director will receive a full payout within thirty (30) days following a Change of Control. Second, if the Director dies, his beneficiary or beneficiaries will be paid out four months after the Director’s death (in order to give each beneficiary the opportunity to disclaim). Third, if the Director gets a divorce, some or all of the Director’s RSU Award may be paid out to his or her former spouse, if the former spouse obtains an appropriate court order. |

9. | No Right to Continue as Director. Nothing contained in the Plan or in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the stockholders of the Company to remove the Director from the Board pursuant to the bylaws or the certificate of incorporation of the Company, nor confers upon the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company. |
