THE WILLIAMS COMPANIES
AMENDED AND RESTATED
RETIREMENT RESTORATION PLAN

ESTABLISHMENT OF PLAN

WHEREAS, The Williams Companies, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries
("Employers") maintain The Williams Pension Plan ("Pension Plan") for the
benefit of eligible employees of the Employers;
WHEREAS, Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”)
establish limitations as to the amount of pension benefit which may be accrued
under or payable from the Pension Plan on behalf of any participant therein; and

WHEREAS, The Williams Companies, Inc. desires to amend and restate The Williams
Companies Retirement Restoration Plan, as effective January 1, 2008, a
supplemental plan under which the portion of the pension benefit (and related
death benefit) of an eligible employee of an Employer which becomes subject to
such limitations of the Code shall be payable from general corporate assets, to
reflect changes in the time of payment with respect to deferred amounts earned
or vested on or prior to December 31, 2004, for certain Former Participants who
are under age 55 as of December 31, 2017, who are not employed by an Employer as
of December 1, 2017, and who had not commenced their benefit under Pre-409A
Program under the Williams Retirement Restoration Plan prior to December 1,
2017.
NOW, THEREFORE, The Williams Companies, Inc. hereby adopts, effective as of
December 1, 2017, The Williams Companies Retirement Restoration Plan as amended
and restated and set forth hereinafter.
ARTICLE I
Introduction
This document is generally effective as of December 1, 2017 (the "Effective
Date") and amends and restates The Williams Companies Retirement Restoration
Plan, as effective January 1, 2008 (the "2008 Document"), with respect to
periods commencing on and after the Effective Date. It sets forth the terms of
the Plan applicable to deferrals which are subject to Section 409A of the Code
(“Section 409A”), i.e., generally, deferred amounts earned or vested after
December 31, 2004 (the "409A Program") and certain deferred amounts earned or
vested on or prior to December 31, 2004 for Participants who are under age 55 as
of December 31, 2017, who are not employed by an Employer as of December 1,
2017, and who had not commenced their benefit under the Pre-409A Program under
Williams Retirement Restoration Plan prior to December 1, 2017 (the “Designated
Pre-55 Participants”). Certain other deferrals under the Plan shall be governed
by a separate set of documents which set forth the pre-Section 409A terms of the
Plan (the "Pre-409A Program") to the extent such other deferrals and the terms
of Pre-409A Program are not incorporated into this document. Together, this
document, the 2008 Document, The Williams Companies Retirement Restoration Plan,
as effective January 1, 2005 (the "2005 Document") and the documents for the
Pre-409A Program describe the terms of a single plan. However, amounts subject
to the terms of this 409A Program and amounts subject to the terms of the
Pre-409A Program shall be tracked separately at all times. Except as provided
herein, the terms of the Pre-409A Program continue to apply with respect to
amounts earned or vested on or prior to December 31, 2004, for the Designated
Pre-55 Participants. The preservation of the terms of the Pre-409A Program,
without material modification, and the separation between the 409A Program
amounts and the Pre-409A Program amounts are intended to be sufficient to permit
the Pre-409A Program, with the exception of the benefits for the Designated
Pre-55 Participants, to remain exempt from Section 409A. For Plan benefits which
are not exempt from Section 409A, the Plan will be interpreted and administered
in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or
provided in a manner that is compliant with the requirements Section 409A and
applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued
thereunder (and any applicable relief under Section 409A). The tax treatment of
the benefits provided under the Plan is not warranted or guaranteed. None of the
Employers nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall
be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed
as a result of the application of Section 409A. Subject to the applicable Plan
termination provisions and except as provided with respect to the Designated
Pre-55 Participants, with respect to vested benefits under the Pre-409A Program:
(i) in the case of vested Participants on December 31, 2004 who were receiving
vested benefits on such date, such benefits shall continue to be paid under the
Pre-409A Program at the same time and in the same amounts as specified under the
form of payment in effect on such date; and (ii) in the case of vested
Participants who were not receiving vested benefits on such date, such benefits
shall be paid under the Pre-409A Program in a lump sum at the time specified in
Article IV of The Williams Companies Supplemental Retirement Plan as in effect
on December 31, 2004.

following the expiration of the six (6) month period commencing with the date
the Participant incurs a Separation from Service. With respect to a vested
benefit, other than a Death Benefit, earned or vested on or prior to December
31, 2004, for a Designated Pre-55 Participant, the date shall be the later of
the first day of the month following the date the Participant attains age
fifty-five (55) or if the Participant has been reemployed by an Employer prior
to age fifty-five (55) and remains so employed past age fifty-five (55), the
first day of the month following the expiration of the six (6) month period
commencing with the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service on or

2.6    Board. The Board of Directors of the Company as constituted from time to
time.
2.7    Change in Control. The occurrence of (i) a Change in the Ownership of the
Company, as defined below, (ii) a Change in Effective Control of the Company, as
defined below, or (iii) a Change in the Ownership of a Substantial Portion of
the Assets of the Company, as defined below. To qualify as a Change in Control
event, the occurrence of the event shall be objectively determinable, strictly
ministerial, and shall not involve any discretionary authority by the plan
administrator. Code Section 318(a) shall be applied to determine stock ownership
for purposes of this section. Substantially vested stock underlying a vested
option is considered owned by the person who holds the vested option (and the
stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the person who
holds an unvested option). To qualify as a Change in Control with respect to a
Participant, the Change in Control must relate to (x) the corporation for whom
the Participant is performing services at the time of the Change in Control
event; (y) the corporation that is liable for the payment of benefits under this
Plan (or all corporations which are liable for payment if more than one
corporation is liable) but only if either the benefits are attributable to the
performance of service by the Participant for such corporation (or corporations)
or there is a bona fide business purpose for such corporation (or corporations)
to be liable for such payment and, in either case, no significant purpose of
making such corporation or corporations liable for such payment is the avoidance
of Federal income tax; or (z) a corporation that is a majority shareholder of a
corporation identified in subsections (x) or (y) above, or any corporation in a
chain of corporations in which each corporation is a majority shareholder of
another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in
subsections (x) or (y) above. The provisions of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3, as
amended, shall govern with respect to the definition of terms used therein and
in the interpretation of whether a Change in Control has occurred.

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)     A "Change in the Ownership of the Company" occurs on the date that any
one person or more than one person Acting as a Group, as defined below, acquires
ownership of Stock of the Company ("Stock") that, together with Stock held by
such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
fair market value or total voting power of the Stock. However, if any one person
or more than one person Acting as a Group, is considered to own more than fifty
percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the Stock,
the acquisition of additional Stock by the same person or persons is not
considered to cause a Change in the Ownership of the Company. An increase in the
percentage of Stock owned by any one person, or persons Acting as a Group, as a
result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its Stock in exchange for
property will be treated as an acquisition of Stock for purposes of this
subsection. This subsection applies only when there is a transfer of Stock (or
issuance of Stock) and Stock remains outstanding after the transaction.
(b)     "Acting as a Group." persons will not be considered to be Acting as a
Group solely because they purchase or own Stock at the same time or as a result
of the same public offering. However, persons will be considered to be Acting as
a Group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger,
consolidation, purchase or acquisition of Stock, or similar business transaction
with the Company. If a person owns stock in both corporations that enter into a
merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of Stock or similar transaction
involving another corporation, such shareholder is considered to be Acting as a
Group with other shareholders only in such corporation prior to the transaction
giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the
other corporation.
(c)    A "Change in the Effective Control of the Company" occurs only on either
of the following dates: (1) The date that any one person, or more than one
person Acting as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12)-month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or
persons) ownership of the Stock possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the
total voting power of the Stock of the Company; or (2) The date a majority of
members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose
appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the
Board before the date of the appointment or election.
If any one person, or more than one person Acting as a Group, is considered to
be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of
the Company by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a Change in
the Effective Control of the Company.
(d)     A "Change in the Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Assets of the
Company" occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person Acting
as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12)-month period ending
on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets
from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than
forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all assets of the
Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose,
the gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company or the
value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any
liabilities associated with such assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is
no Change in the Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Assets of the Company
when there is a transfer of assets to an entity that is controlled by the
shareholders of the Company immediately after the transfer. A transfer of assets
by the Company is not treated as a Change in the Ownership of a Substantial
Portion of the Assets of the Company if the assets are transferred to (1) a
shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange
for or with respect to its Stock; (2) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of
the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by
the Company; (3) a person, or more than one person Acting as a Group, that owns,
directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting
power of all the outstanding Stock; or (4) an entity, at least fifty percent
(50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or
indirectly, by a person, or more than one person Acting as a Group, that owns,
directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting
power of all the outstanding Stock. For purposes of this subsection (d), and
except as otherwise provided, a person's status is determined immediately after
the transfer of assets.
2.8    Code. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
2.9    Code Limitations. The limitations on compensation which may be taken into
account in determining benefits under and on benefits payable from the Pension
Plan imposed by Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code.
2.10    Committee. The Compensation Committee of the Board.
2.11    Company. The Williams Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation or any
successor thereto.

1.415(c)-2(d)(2). A Participant designated as a “key employee” shall be a “key
employee” for the entire twelve (12) month period beginning on April 1 following
the Key Employee Designation Date.
2.20    Nonservice Participant. A Vested Participant who is a "Nonservice

circumstances in which the term is used in the Plan.
2.23    Pension Plan. The Williams Pension Plan, as in effect on January 1, 2005
and as amended and/or restated from time to time. With respect to a Participant

in effect January 1, 2005 and as amended and/or restated from time to time, such
plan is also included within such term.
2.24    Pension Plan Benefit. The pension benefit actually paid during a Plan
Year to the Participant or his Beneficiary (including a spouse or other
contingent annuitant) pursuant to the benefit formula (set forth in Section 2.1
of the Pension Plan) which is applicable to such Participant and the method of

2.25    Plan. The Williams Companies Retirement Restoration Plan, effective as
of December 1, 2017 as set forth in this and related documents which comprise
the 409A Program and the Pre-409A Program and as amended and/or restated from
time to time. The provisions of this document are generally effective for

the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in revenue rulings, notices and other
guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.27    Plan Year. Each twelve (12) consecutive month fiscal year beginning
January 1 and ending December 31.
2.28    Rule of 55 Participant. A Vested Participant: (a) whose attained age in
years and number of Years of Service credited as Benefit Service aggregated
pursuant to the terms of the Pension Plan as of March 31, 1998 equaled at least
fifty-five (55); (b) who is not a Transitional Participant; and (c) who incurs a
Separation from Service after attaining age fifty-five (55) and is then eligible
for an Early Pension pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Pension Plan.
2.29    Separation from Service. The Participant’s termination or deemed
termination from employment with the Company and its Affiliates. For purposes of
determining whether a separation from service has occurred, the employment
relationship is treated as continuing intact while the Participant is on
military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of
such leave does not exceed six (6) months, or if longer, so long as the
Participant retains a right to reemployment with his or her employer under an
applicable statute or by contract. For this purpose, a leave of absence
constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable
expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for his or her
employer. If the period of leave exceeds six (6) months and the Participant does
not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract,
the employment relationship will be deemed to terminate on the first date
immediately following such six (6) month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental
impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last
for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months, and such impairment
causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of the Participant’s
position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a
twenty-nine (29) month period of absence shall be substituted for such six (6)
month period. For purposes of this Section 2.29, a separation from service
occurs at the date as of which the facts and circumstances indicate either that,
after such date: (A) the Participant and the Company reasonably anticipate the
Participant will perform no further services for the Company and its Affiliates
(whether as an employee or an independent contractor), or (B) that the level of
bona fide services the Participant will perform for the Company and its
Affiliates (whether as an employee or independent contractor) will permanently
decrease to no more than twenty (20%) of the average level of bona fide services
performed over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period or, if the
Participant has been providing services to the Company and its Affiliates for
less than thirty-six (36) months, the full period over which the Participant has
rendered services, whether as an employee or independent contractor. The
determination of whether a separation from service has occurred shall be
governed by the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1, as amended, taking
into account the objective facts and circumstances with respect to the level of
bona fide services performed by the Participant after a certain date.
2.30    Service Participant. A Vested Participant who is a "Service Participant"
as such term is defined under the Pension Plan.
2.31    Supplemental Compensation Credit. The amount deemed credited to a
Participant’s Supplemental Pension Account based upon his Supplemental
Retirement Compensation for a Plan Year (or any part of a Plan Year and for a
disabled Participant accruing Benefit Service credit or Compensation Credit
pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Pension Plan, based upon his rate of Supplemental
Retirement Compensation as of the date his Disability commenced), with such
amount deemed to be credited as of the Credit Date for such Plan Year and
determined in accordance with the following:

qualified transportation plan established by the Company in accordance with Code
Section 132(f)(4) or to any cafeteria plan or flexible benefits plan established
by the Company in accordance with Code Section 125 and related sections of the
Code, but excluding severance pay, cost of living pay, housing pay, relocation
pay (including mortgage interest differential) and all such other taxable and
non-taxable fringe benefits and extraordinary compensation, all as determined by
the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. For purposes of determining
"Average Monthly Compensation" and "Compensation Credits" under the Pension
Plan, the Supplemental Retirement Compensation taken into account with respect
to any Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2002, shall not exceed three
(3) times such Participant's rate of Base Pay as of the last day of such Plan
Year. For purposes of determining an "Accrued Benefit" under the Pension Plan,
if a Participant is credited with less than two thousand eighty (2,080) "Hours
of Service" under the Pension Plan for determining "Benefit Service" under the
Pension Plan during a Plan Year, his Supplemental Retirement Compensation for
that Plan Year shall be the product of his actual Supplemental Retirement
Compensation for such Plan Year as described above multiplied by a fraction the
numerator of which is two thousand eighty (2,080) and the denominator of which
is the number of "Hours of Service" under the Pension Plan with which he is
credited for such Plan Year.

Committee any information or proof requested by the Committee and reasonably
required for the proper administration of the Plan. Failure on the part of the
Participant, Former Participant or Beneficiary to comply with any such request
within a reasonable period of time shall be sufficient grounds for delay in the
payment of benefits under the Plan until such information or proof is received
by the Committee.
6.5    Compensation and Expenses. All expenses incident to the operation and
administration of the Plan reasonably incurred, including, without limitation by
way of specification, the fees and expenses of attorneys and advisors, and for
such other professional, technical and clerical assistance as may be required,

reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him (including but not limited to
reasonable attorney fees) which arise as a result of his actions or failure to

extent lawfully allowable and to the extent that such claim, liability, fine,
penalty, or expense is not paid for by liability insurance purchased or paid for
by an Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employer shall not indemnify

any action unless the Employer consents in writing to such settlement or
compromise.

ARTICLE VII
Miscellaneous
7.1    Benefits Payable by the Employers. All benefits payable under this Plan
shall constitute an unfunded obligation of the Employers. Payments shall be
made, as due, from the general funds of the Employers. The Employers, at their
option, may maintain one or more bookkeeping reserve accounts to reflect their
obligations under the Plan and may make such investments as they, or any of
them, may deem desirable to assist in meeting such obligations. Any such
investments shall be assets of the Employers subject to claims of general
creditors. No person eligible for a benefit under this Plan shall have any
right, title or interest in any such investments.
7.2    Amendment or Termination. The Committee is authorized to amend the Plan,
if such amendment does not increase the costs of the Plan and the Board is
authorized to amend, modify, restate or terminate the Plan; provided, however,
that (i) no such action by the Committee or the Board shall reduce a
Participant's Supplemental Retirement Benefit accrued as of the time thereof,
and (ii) any such amendments, modifications, restatement or termination shall be
effectuated in a manner which will not result in the imposition of Code Section
409A penalties. Generally, the amendment or termination of the Pre-409A Program
shall be effectuated in a manner which either (A) avoids causing the
"Grandfathered Benefits" to be materially modified within the meaning of Treas.
Reg. 1.409A-6(a)(4); or (B) causes the Pre-409A Program to meet the requirements
of Code Section 409A without the imposition of Code Section 409A penalties. In
this regard, upon termination of the 409A Program due to a Change in Control,
the Pre-409A Program shall be terminated either pursuant to Treas. Reg.
1.409A-6(a)(4)(iii), or pursuant to a plan termination amendment which causes
the Pre-409A Program to comply with Code Section 409A. The date of such
termination shall be the first business day. Payments under the 409A Program may
be accelerated only to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(j)(4). In
this regard, if a Change in Control occurs, the service recipient entity that
will be primarily liable immediately after the Change in Control transaction for
the payment of benefits under the 409A Program shall terminate the 409A Program
and all other nonaccount plans which are aggregated with the 409A Program under
Treas. Reg. 1-409A-3(j)(4)(ix). The date of such termination shall be the first
business day following such Change in Control and all amounts held in the Plan
for any Participant shall be distributed in a lump sum within ten (10) business
days after such termination.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.3    Status of Employment. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed: (a) to
give to any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of any Employer,
subsidiary or affiliate; (b) to affect the right of any Employer to discipline
or discharge any Participant at any time; (c) to give any Employer, subsidiary
or affiliate the right to require any Participant to remain in its employ; or
(d) to affect any Participant's right to terminate his or her employment at any
time.
7.4    Payments to Minors and Incompetents. If a Participant, Former Participant
or Beneficiary entitled to receive any benefits hereunder is a minor or is
deemed by the Committee or is adjudged to be legally incapable of giving a valid
receipt and discharge for such benefits, they will be paid to the duly appointed
guardian of such minor or incompetent or to such other person or entity as the
Committee may designate. Such payment shall, to the extent made, be deemed a
complete discharge of any liability for such payment under the Plan.
7.5    Inalienability of Benefits. The right of any person to any benefit or
payment under the Plan shall not be subject to voluntary or involuntary
transfer, alienation or assignment, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
shall not be subject to attachment, execution, garnishment, sequestration or
other legal or equitable process. In the event a person who is receiving or is
entitled to receive benefits under the Plan attempts to assign, transfer or
dispose of such right, or if an attempt is made to subject said right to such
process, such assignment, transfer or disposition shall be null and void.
7.6    Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. If a qualified domestic relations
order is applicable to a Participant's Pension Plan Benefit, such Participant's
Pension Plan Benefit shall be deemed to be the amount which would have otherwise
been payable to the Participant from the Pension Plan if such qualified domestic
relations order never existed. To the extent that the Committee determines, in
its sole discretion, that a domestic relations order is effective with respect
to a Participant’s benefit under the Plan, the benefit payable to the alternate
payee under the domestic relations order, with the exception of a Death Benefit,
will be paid at the same time and in the same form as the benefit that would
otherwise be payable to the Participant under the Plan.
7.7    Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, the Plan
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Oklahoma.
7.8    Procedure for Adoption. Any corporation which is a contributing employer
under the Pension Plan may, by resolution of such corporation's board of
directors, adopt the Plan subject to such terms and conditions as may be
required by the Committee consistent with the provisions of the Plan.

Executed in      counterpart originals this 28th day of November , 2017,
