CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.60

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

THIS CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is made and entered into effective as of December 12, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Exterran Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and William M. Austin (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, Executive is employed as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to enter into an agreement regarding their respective rights and obligations in connection with a Change of Control during the Term of this Agreement;

THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Executive agree as follows:

1. Term. This Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, that thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for successive one (1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) (such Initial Term, plus any Renewal Terms, plus, in the event of Executive’s Qualifying Termination of Employment (as defined below) for Good Reason, any additional time period necessitated by the Company’s right to cure as set forth in the definition of Good Reason, the “Term”), unless at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term the Board shall give written notice to Executive that the Term of this Agreement shall cease to be so extended. However, if a Change of Control shall occur during the Term, the Term shall automatically continue in effect for a period of eighteen (18) months plus, in the event of Executive’s Qualifying Termination of Employment for Good Reason, any additional time period necessitated by the Company’s right to cure as set forth in the definition of Good Reason, commencing on the date of such Change of Control. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon Executive’s termination of employment, except as provided in the definition of Protected Period. Termination of this Agreement shall not alter or impair any rights of Executive arising under this Agreement on or prior to such termination.

2. Qualifying Termination of Employment. If Executive incurs a Qualifying Termination of Employment during the Term, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 3 hereof. If Executive’s employment terminates for any reason other than for a Qualifying Termination of Employment, then Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement.

3. Benefits Upon a Qualifying Termination of Employment.

(a) Lump Sum. Following a Qualifying Termination of Employment, the Company shall pay to Executive, not later than the sixtieth (60^th) day following the Date of Termination, an amount, in a lump sum payment, equal to the sum of:

(i) The sum of (A) Executive’s earned but unpaid Base Salary through the Date of Termination, (B) Executive’s Target Short-Term Incentive for the

Termination Year (prorated to the Date of Termination), (C) any earned but unpaid Short-Term Incentive for the prior year (and, if the prior year’s Short-Term Incentive has not yet been calculated as of the Date of Termination, such amount shall be payable when calculated, but in no event later than March 15^th of the year following the Termination Year), (D) any portion of Executive’s vacation pay accrued, but not used, for the Termination Year, and (E) any unreimbursed business expenses as of the Date of Termination; plus

(ii) An amount equal to two (2) times Executive’s Base Salary plus two (2) times Executive’s Target Short-Term Incentive; plus

(iii) An amount equal to the total of the employer matching contributions that would have been credited to Executive’s account under the 401(k) Plan and any other deferred compensation plan of the Company (or any of its affiliated companies) had Executive made the required amount of elective deferrals or contributions to receive such maximum employer matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan and any other deferred compensation plan (and regardless of whether Executive actually made any such elective deferrals or contributions) during the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the month of Executive’s Date of Termination, multiplied by two (2); plus

(iv) Amounts previously deferred by Executive, if any, or earned but not paid, if any, under any Company incentive and nonqualified deferred compensation plans or programs as of the Date of Termination.

(b) Continuing Medical Coverage. If Executive incurs a Qualifying Termination of Employment, for a period of two (2) years following Executive’s Date of Termination, or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate medical and/or welfare benefit plan, program, practice or policy, subject to Executive’s valid election of COBRA continuation coverage, the Company shall provide benefits to Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents equal to those that would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies if Executive’s employment had not been terminated; provided, however, that with respect to any of such plans, programs, practices or policies requiring an employee contribution, Executive shall continue to pay the monthly employee contribution for same; provided, further, that if Executive becomes employed by another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer-provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, with regard to such COBRA continuation coverage, 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), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue Executive’s and Executive’s covered dependents’ group insurance coverage as in effect on the Date of Termination (which amount shall be based on the premiums for the first month of COBRA coverage).

(c) Awards. Upon a Qualifying Termination of Employment, all stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other awards based in common stock of the Company, and all common units, unit appreciation rights, unit options and other awards based in common units representing limited partner interests of the Partnership, and all cash-based incentive awards held by Executive and not previously vested shall be 100% vested as of Executive’s Date of Termination (except with respect to awards denominated in or relating to common units of the Partnership that, by their terms, continue to vest following a termination of employment without cause or for good reason); provided, however, that with respect to an award that is subject to Code Section 409A, such acceleration of vesting under this Section 3(c) shall not cause an impermissible acceleration of payment or change in form of payment of such award under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the terms of any Company (or affiliate) plan or agreement between the Company (or affiliate) and Executive to the contrary, the accelerated vesting of all equity awards required pursuant to the terms of this Section 3(c) shall govern.

(d) Interest. If any payment due under the terms of this Agreement is not timely made by the Company, its successors or assigns, interest shall accrue on such payment at the highest maximum legal rate permissible under applicable law from the date such payment first became due through the date it is paid (with such interest paid in a single lump sum on the date on which the Company or its successor or assign, as applicable, makes the late payment).

(e) Release. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no payment shall be made or benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement unless Executive signs and returns to the Company within fifty (50) days following the date of a Qualifying Termination of Employment, and does not revoke within seven (7) days thereafter, a complete release and waiver in a form provided by the Company, in exchange for the severance payments described in Section 3(a) above, among other items, of all claims for liability and damages in any way related to Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates against the Company, its affiliates, their directors, officers, employees and agents, and their employee benefit plans and the fiduciaries and agents of such plans.

(f) Severance Offset. Any cash severance payments payable under Section 3(a) shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any cash severance amounts payable to Executive under any other individual agreement the Company or an affiliate may have entered into with Executive or any severance plan or program maintained by the Company or any affiliate for employees in general, but only to the extent such severance amounts are payable in the same form and in the same calendar year in which such cash severance payments under this Agreement are to be made.

(g) Code Section 409A Matters.

(i) This Agreement is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted consistent with the applicable requirements of, Code Section 409A and accompanying Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive

guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”) and any ambiguous provisions will be construed in a manner that is compliant with or exempt from the application of Code Section 409A. Executive shall have no right to specify the calendar year during which any payment hereunder shall be made.

(ii) All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) such that any reimbursements or in-kind benefits will be deemed payable at a specified time or on a fixed schedule relative to a permissible payment event. Specifically, (A) the amounts reimbursed and in-kind benefits under this Agreement, other than with respect to medical benefits provided under Section 3(b), during Executive’s taxable year may not affect the amounts reimbursed or in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, (B) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred, and (C) the right to reimbursement or an in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(iii) If Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A as of the Date of Termination, distributions or benefits that are subject to Code Section 409A shall be made under this Agreement on the later of (A) the date that such distribution or benefit is otherwise to be provided under this Agreement and (B) the earlier of (x) the first (1^st) business day that occurs following the expiration of the six (6) month period beginning on Executive’s Date of Termination or (y) the date of Executive’s death. The severance payments under Section 3(a) are deferred compensation subject to the foregoing provision. In addition, in the event of a payment delayed under this Section 3(g)(iii), the Company agrees to pay to Executive, as of the date it makes the delayed payment, simple interest on such delayed amount at the applicable federal rate provided for in Code Section 7872(f)(2)(A), based on the number of days the payment was delayed. If Executive disagrees with the Company’s determination that Code Section 409A requires such six (6)-month delay with respect to a payment or benefit, such payment or benefit can be made prior to such delayed payment date if Executive agrees in writing (in the form approved by the Company) that should the IRS subsequently assert that some or all of the payments or benefits made pursuant to this Agreement do not comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, then (i) Executive agrees that he is solely responsible for all taxes, excise taxes, penalties and interest resulting from such determination, and that he will not seek contribution, reimbursement or any other recovery from the Company or any of its affiliates, officers, employees or directors for any taxes, excise taxes, interest or penalties paid or due or any costs he incurs in challenging such position of the IRS, and (ii) Executive will reimburse, and hold the Company, its affiliates, officers, employees or directors harmless for, any costs, including attorneys fees and costs of court, penalties or fees, that it may incur in connection with a later determination that the payments made pursuant to this Agreement are covered by Code Section 409A and were not properly reported as such.

4. Restrictions and Obligations of Executive.

(a) Consideration for Restrictions and Covenants. The Company and Executive agree that the principal consideration for the Company’s agreement to make the payments provided in this Agreement to Executive is Executive’s compliance with the undertakings set forth in this Section 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Executive agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 4 only if Executive actually receives any such payments from the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Confidentiality. Executive acknowledges that the Company will provide Executive with Confidential Information and has previously provided Executive with Confidential Information. In return for consideration provided under this Agreement, Executive agrees that Executive will not, while employed by the Company or any affiliate and thereafter for a period of two (2) years, disclose or make available to any other person or entity, or use for Executive’s own personal gain, any Confidential Information, except for such disclosures as required in the performance of Executive’s duties with the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process (in which case Executive shall notify the Company of such legal or judicial proceeding as soon as practicable following his receipt of notice of such a proceeding, and permit the Company to seek to protect its interests and information).

(c) Non-Solicitation or Hire. During the term of Executive’s employment with the Company or any affiliate thereof and for a two (2)-year period following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly (i) employ or seek to employ any person who is at the date of termination, or was at any time within the six (6)-month period preceding the date of termination, an officer, general manager or director or equivalent or more senior level employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise solicit, encourage, cause or induce any such employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate such employee’s employment with the Company or such subsidiary for the employment of another company (including for this purpose the contracting with any person who was an independent contractor (excluding consultant) of the Company during such period) or (ii) take any action that would interfere with the relationship of the Company or its subsidiaries with their suppliers or customers without, in either case, the prior written consent of the Company’s Board of Directors, or engage in any other action or business that would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

(d) Non-Competition. During the term of Executive’s employment with the Company, or any affiliate thereof and for a two (2)-year period following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i) engage in any managerial, administrative, advisory, consulting, operational or sales activities in a Restricted Business anywhere in the Restricted Area, including, without limitation, as a director or partner of such Restricted Business, or

(ii) organize, establish, operate, own, manage, control or have a direct or indirect investment or ownership interest in a Restricted Business or in any corporation, partnership (limited or general), limited liability company, enterprise or other business entity that engages in a Restricted Business anywhere in the Restricted Area.

Nothing contained in this Section 4 shall prohibit or otherwise restrict Executive from acquiring or owning, directly or indirectly, for passive investment purposes not intended to circumvent this Agreement, securities of any entity engaged, directly or indirectly, in a Restricted Business if either (i) such entity is a public entity and Executive (A) is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group that controls, such entity and (B) owns, directly or indirectly, no more than three percent (3%) of any class of equity securities of such entity or (ii) such entity is not a public entity and Executive (A) is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group that controls, such entity and (B) does not own, directly or indirectly, more than one percent (1%) of any class of equity securities of such entity.

(e) Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that monetary damages for any breach of Sections 4(b), (c), and (d) above will not be an adequate remedy and that irreparable injury will result to the Company, its business and property, in the event of such a breach. For that reason, Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of Sections 4(b), (c), and (d) above, in addition to recovering legal damages, the Company is entitled to proceed in equity for specific performance or to enjoin Executive from violating such provisions.

5. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Definitions Incorporated by Reference. Reference is made to Annex I hereto for definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement, and such definitions are incorporated herein by such reference with the same effect as if set forth herein.

(b) No Other Mitigation or Offset; Legal Fees. The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to, nor shall they be construed to, require that Executive mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking or accepting other employment. Except as provided in Section 3(b), the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned or health benefits received by Executive as the result of employment outside of the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, except as provided in Section 3(f), the Company’s obligations to Executive under this Agreement shall not be affected by any set off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action that the Company may have against Executive.

(c) Cooperation. If Executive becomes entitled to severance benefits under Section 3 of this Agreement, Executive agrees, for a one (1)-year period following the Date of Termination, to provide reasonable cooperation to the Company in response to reasonable requests made by the Company for information or assistance, including but not limited to, participating upon reasonable notice in conferences and meetings,

providing documents or information, aiding in the analysis of documents, or complying with any other reasonable requests by the Company, including execution of any agreements that are reasonably necessary, provided that such cooperation relates to matters concerning Executive’s duties with the Company and the requests do not, in the good faith opinion of Executive, materially interfere with Executive’s other activities.

(d) Successors; Binding Agreement.

(i) Except in the case of a merger involving the Company with respect to which under applicable law the surviving corporation of such merger will be obligated under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would have been required if no such merger had taken place, the Company will require any successor, by purchase or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, to execute an agreement whereby such successor expressly assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would have been required if no such succession had taken place and expressly agrees that Executive may enforce this Agreement against such successor. Failure of the Company to obtain any such required agreement and to deliver such agreement to Executive prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to payment from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as Executive would be entitled hereunder if Executive’s employment had terminated for Good Reason and such termination constituted a Qualifying Termination of Employment, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets that executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 5(d)(i) or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

(ii) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to Executive hereunder if Executive had continued to live, all such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s beneficiary as filed with the Company pursuant to this Agreement or, if there is no such designated beneficiary, to Executive’s estate.

(e) Notice. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications required under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when (i) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) sent by facsimile (with confirmation of receipt), provided that a copy is mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) when received by the addressee, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case to the appropriate addresses and facsimile numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses and facsimile numbers as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

(n) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, and hereby expressly terminates, rescinds and replaces in full any prior and contemporaneous promises, representations, understandings, arrangements and agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral.

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect Executive’s rights under such compensation and benefit plans and programs of the Company in which Executive may participate, except as may be explicitly provided in this Agreement.

[Signature page follows.]
