[YEAR] RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), which contains the terms and conditions for the Restricted Stock Units (“Restricted Stock Units” or “RSUs”) referred to in the [YEAR] Restricted Stock Unit Award Letter delivered in hard copy or electronically to Participant (“[YEAR] Award Letter”), is by and between THE WILLIAMS COMPANIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the individual identified on the last page hereof (the “Participant”).

1.    Grant of RSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions of The Williams Companies, Inc. 2007 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”), this Agreement and the [YEAR] Award Letter, the Company hereby grants an award (the “Award”) to the Participant of <@Num+C @> RSUs effective <@GrDt+C@> (the “Effective Date”).  The Award gives the Participant the right to receive the number of shares of the Common Stock of the Company equal to the number of RSUs shown in the prior sentence, subject to adjustment under the terms of this Agreement.  These shares are referred to in this Agreement as the “Shares.”  Until the Participant receives payment of the Shares under the terms of Paragraph 4, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares, except for the right to earn Dividend Equivalents as set forth herein.

2.    Incorporation of Plan and Acceptance of Documents. The Plan is hereby incorporated herein by reference, and all capitalized terms used herein which are not defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Plan. The Participant acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of, or has online access to, the Plan and hereby automatically accepts the RSUs subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.  The Participant hereby further agrees that he or she has received a copy of, or has online access to, the prospectus and hereby acknowledges his or her automatic acceptance and receipt of such prospectus electronically.

3.    Board Decisions and Interpretations. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all actions, decisions and/or interpretations of the Board, its delegates, or agents, upon any questions or other matters arising under the Plan or this Agreement.  

4.    Payment of Shares; Dividend Equivalents.

(a)    The Participant shall receive payment of all Shares if the Participant dies while serving as a Non-Management Director of the Company or his or her service as a Non-Management Director of the Company terminates for any other reason and such termination constitutes a “separation from service” as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1, as amended, the Participant shall receive payment of all Shares at the time of such death or separation from service.  In this regard, if at the time a Non-Management Director’s service as a Non-Management Director terminates, such Non-Management Director is also providing services to the Company or an Affiliate (as defined below) as an independent contractor, no separation from service by such Non-Management Director shall occur, and no Shares shall be payable to such Non-Management Director until the 
2

date on which such Non-Management Director has a Separation from Service as an Independent Contractor (as defined below) from the Company and its Affiliates.

(b)     All Shares that are paid pursuant to the Participant’s death or separation from service as provided in Subparagraph 4(a) above shall be paid to the Participant upon occurrence of the event giving rise to the right to payment or, in the case of Participant’s death, to the beneficiary of the Participant under the Plan or, if no beneficiary has been designated, to the Participant’s estate, provided that, except as otherwise required under Federal securities laws or other applicable law, all Shares that are paid pursuant to Subparagraph 4(a) above in the event of death shall be paid not more than 90 days following such death, and all Shares that are paid pursuant to Subparagraph 4(a) above in the event of a separation from service shall be paid not more than 30 days following such separation from service.  If such 90-day or 30-day period as applicable spans two calendar years, then payment will be made in the later calendar year.  

(c)    Shares that become payable under this Agreement will be paid by the Company by the delivery to the Participant, or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s beneficiary or legal representative, of one or more certificates (or other indicia of ownership) representing shares of Williams Common Stock equal in number to the number of Shares otherwise payable under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service thereunder, if employment taxes become due or other withholding obligations arise upon the Participant’s becoming entitled to payment of Shares, the number of Shares necessary to cover minimum statutory withholding requirements may be used to satisfy such requirements upon such entitlement.

(d)    Upon conversion of RSUs into Shares under this Agreement, such RSUs shall be cancelled.

(e)    From and after the Effective Date, the Participant shall be entitled to accrue Dividend Equivalents with respect to each Share subject to the Award.  On each date on which the Company pays a dividends to stockholders generally, the number of RSUs subject to this Agreement shall be increased by a number equal to the number of whole Shares with a value equal to the value of the dividends that would have been paid on the Shares deliverable pursuant to the RSUs (if such Shares were outstanding), divided by the Fair Market Value of the Shares on such dividend payment date.  Prior to payment, the Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same restrictions and limitations set forth herein with respect to the RSUs to which the Dividend Equivalents relate.  The Dividend Equivalents accrued hereunder shall be paid in Shares (without interest) to the Participant (or beneficiary or estate, as applicable) as and when the Shares to which such Dividend Equivalents relate are paid pursuant to this Section 4.    

5.    Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the definitions set forth below. 

3

(a)    “Affiliate” means all persons with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Section 414(b) of the Code, and all persons with whom such person would be considered a single employer under Section 414(c) of the Code.    

(b)    “Separation from Service as an Independent Contractor” will occur upon the expiration of the contract (or in the case of more than one contract, all contracts) under which services are performed by a Non-Management Director for the Company or an Affiliate, but only if the expiration constitutes a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship.  An expiration of a contract shall not constitute a good faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship if the Company or an Affiliate anticipates either a renewal of a contractual relationship or the Non-Management Director’s becoming an employee.  The determination of whether a Separation from Service as an Independent Contractor has occurred shall be governed by the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1, as amended.

6.    Other Provisions.

(a)    The Participant understands and agrees that payments under this Agreement shall not be used for, or in the determination of, any other payment or benefit under any continuing agreement, plan, policy, practice or arrangement providing for the making of any payment or the provision of any benefits to or for the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries or representatives, including, without limitation, any employment agreement, any change of control severance protection plan or any employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, including, but not limited to qualified and non-qualified retirement plans.

(b)    The Participant agrees and understands that, upon payment of Shares under this Agreement, stock certificates (or other indicia of ownership) issued may be held as collateral for monies he/she owes to the Company or any of its Affiliates, including but not limited to personal loan(s) or the Company credit card debt.

(c)    RSUs, Shares and the Participant’s interest in RSUs and Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered at any time prior to the Participant’s becoming entitled to payment of Shares under this Agreement.

(d)    With respect to the right to receive payment of the Shares under this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. 

(e)    The obligations of the Company under this Agreement are unfunded and unsecured.  Each Participant shall have the status of a general creditor of the Company with respect to amounts due, if any, under this Agreement.

(f)    The parties to this Agreement intend that this Agreement meet the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and recognize that it may be necessary to modify this Agreement and/or the Plan to reflect guidance under Section 409A of the 
4

Code issued by the Internal Revenue Service.  Participant agrees that the Board shall have sole discretion in determining (i) whether any such modification is desirable or appropriate and (ii) the terms of any such modification. 

(g)    The Participant hereby automatically becomes a party to this Agreement whether or not he or she accepts the Award electronically or in writing in accordance with procedures of the Board, its delegates or agents.

(h)    Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon the Participant the right to continue to serve as a director of the Company.
(i)    The Participant hereby acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Board or Committee to allow a Domestic Relations Order with respect to this Award.
7.    Notices. All notices to the Company required hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by hand or by mail, addressed to The Williams Companies, Inc., One Williams Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74172, Attention: Stock Administration Department.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Maxar Technologies Inc. (we, us, our and Maxar) has one class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which is our common stock.
Description of Capital Stock
General
The following summary of the terms of our common stock is based upon our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The summary is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. We encourage you to read our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law for additional information.
Under our certificate of incorporation, the total number of shares of all classes of stock that we have authority to issue is 250,000,000, consisting of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 240,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Common Stock
Voting rights
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders. The holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election. Pursuant to our bylaws, directors in uncontested elections are elected upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in favor of or against such nominee at a duly called meeting of stockholders, and directors in contested elections are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. In an uncontested election, any incumbent nominee for director who does not receive an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in favor of or against such nominee must tender his or her resignation after such election. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “NCG Committee”) of our board of directors (the “Board”), giving due consideration to the best interests of Maxar and its stockholders, will evaluate the relevant facts and circumstances, and will make a recommendation to the Board, which will act on the recommendation of the NCG Committee and publicly disclose its decision within 90 days after the election on whether to accept the tendered resignation. Any director who tenders a resignation pursuant to this provision will not participate in the Board’s decision.
Dividend rights
Subject to limitations under Delaware law and preferences that may apply to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends or other distributions, if any, as may be declared by our Board out of funds legally available therefor.
Liquidation rights
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock.

Rights and preferences
The common stock has no preemptive, conversion or other rights to subscribe for additional securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Fully paid and nonassessable
The outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board as hereinafter provided.  The Board may issue the preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of any such series, by adopting a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of the shares thereof and by filing a certificate of designations relating thereto in accordance with Delaware law, to determine and fix the number of shares of such series and such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by Delaware law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of any series of preferred stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of preferred stock to the extent permitted by law.
Authorized Shares
The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our stock entitled to vote.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Delaware takeover statute
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This statute regulating corporate takeovers prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
·     prior to the date of the transaction, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
·     the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

·     on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
Section 203 defines a business combination to include:
·     any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
·     any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;
·     subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
·     any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
·     the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
Certificate of incorporation and bylaw provisions
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, control of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions may also make the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult. These provisions are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control to first negotiate with us. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock. These provisions may make it more difficult for shareholders to take specific corporate actions and could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Maxar.
In particular, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for the following:
No written consent of shareholders
Any action by our shareholders must be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders and may not be taken by written consent. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of our voting stock is required for the amendment of this provision.
Special meetings of shareholders
Special meetings of our shareholders may be called only by (1) the Chair of the Board or by our Secretary that has been duly designated to do so by our Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by the majority of the Board, or (2) two or more stockholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of our voting stock is required for the amendment of this provision.
​

Amendment of bylaws
The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of our voting stock is required for shareholders to amend our bylaws. This provision makes it more difficult to circumvent the anti-takeover provisions of our bylaws. Our Board is authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind our bylaws, but at least a majority vote of the directors is required to change the number of directors.
Number of directors; removal; filling vacancies
Our certificate of incorporation:
·     provides that the number of directors may be fixed exclusively by resolutions adopted by a majority of the number of directors constituting our Board then in office; and
·     authorizes our Board to fill newly created directorships. This provision could prevent a shareholder from obtaining majority representation on our Board because our Board could enlarge the size of the board and fill the vacancies. A director holds office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which any vacancy was created or occurred until that director’s successor is elected and qualified.
Issuance of undesignated preferred stock
Our Board is authorized to issue, without further action by the shareholders, additional shares of preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the Board. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock enables our Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Maxar by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
Listing
Our common stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “MAXR.”
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
