The Option was exercised in full on June 16, 2006. On June 20, 2006, the sale of the 7,590,000
Common Units pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement closed. The Common Units sold pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act),
pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-133065).
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties
and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Partnership, the General Partner and

recommended approval of the Partnerships acquisition of the Four Corners Interest. The conflicts
committee retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating and
negotiating the transaction. In recommending approval of the transaction, the conflicts committee
based its decision in part on an opinion from the committees independent financial advisor that
the consideration to be paid by the Partnership to Williams is fair, from a financial point of

Public Offering and an initial purchaser in the Private Placement, served as Williams financial
advisor in connection with the Partnerships acquisition of the Four Corners Interest.

Agreement. Under the Four Corners LLC Agreement, Four Corners will be required to reimburse WFSC

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The
information discussed under the captions Contribution
Agreements and Relationships in Item 1.01 above is
incorporated herein by reference. The financial statements with respect to the acquisition by the
Partnership of the Four Corners Interest will be filed as noted in Item 9.01 below.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under the captions Indenture, Notes and Registration Rights
Agreement under Item 1.01 above are incorporated herein by reference.
On June 20, 2006, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with the Initial Purchasers discussed
under the caption Purchase Agreement in Item 1.01 above, the Issuers sold the Notes to the
Initial Purchasers at an offering price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of $150 million
plus accrued interest, if any, from June 20, 2006, less a customary discount to the Initial
Purchasers. The Private Placement was conducted in accordance with the exemptions from the
registration requirements of the Act afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 144A under the
Act, and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Act. The Notes have
not been registered under the Act and are subject to restrictions on transfer.
The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture. The Indenture contains affirmative and
negative covenants that, among other things, limit (1) the Partnerships ability and the ability of
its subsidiaries to incur liens securing indebtedness, (2) mergers, consolidations and transfers of
all or substantially all of the Issuers properties or assets, (3) Williams Finances ability to
incur additional indebtedness and (4) Williams Finances ability to engage in any business not
related to obtaining money or arranging financing for the Partnership or its other subsidiaries.
The Partnership owns minority interests in two limited liability companies, Discovery Producer
Services LLC (DPS) and Four Corners. The Partnership uses the equity method of accounting for
its investments in these two limited liability companies, and neither will be classified as its
subsidiary under the Indenture so long as the Partnership continues to own a minority interest in
such entity. As a result, neither DPS nor Four Corners will be subject to the restrictive
covenants in the Indenture. The Indenture also contains customary events of default, upon which
the Trustee or the holders of the Notes may declare all outstanding Notes to be due and payable
immediately.
Pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuers may issue additional notes from time to time after the
Private Placement. The Notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the Indenture,
together with any exchange notes, will be treated as a
single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers,
amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.
The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and will rank equally in right
of payment with
all of the Issuers other senior indebtedness and senior to all future indebtedness of the Issuers
that is expressly
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will not initially be guaranteed by any
of the Partnerships
subsidiaries. In the future in certain instances as set forth in the Indenture, one or more of the
Partnerships subsidiaries may be required to guarantee the Notes.
The Notes bear interest at 71/2% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and
December 15 of each year, starting on December 15, 2006. The Issuers will make each interest
payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1. The Notes
mature on June 15, 2011.
The Issuers may redeem the Notes at their option in whole or in part at any time or from time
to time prior to June 15, 2011, at a redemption price per note equal to the sum of (1) the then
outstanding principal amount thereof, plus (2) accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus (3) a specified make-whole premium (as
defined in the Indenture). Additionally, upon a change of control (as defined in the Indenture),
each holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part
of such holders Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued
and unpaid interest. Except upon a change of control as described in the prior sentence, neither
of the Issuers is required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to
the Notes or to repurchase the Notes at the option of the holders.
The
Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this
Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Issuers also entered into the Registration
Rights Agreement with the Representatives. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Issuers agreed to conduct a registered exchange offer of exchange
notes in exchange for the Notes (a Registered Exchange Offer)
or cause to become effective a shelf registration statement providing for resale of the Notes. The
Issuers are required to: (i) file a registration statement (the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement) within 270 days after the issue date of the Notes; (ii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective within 360 days
after the issue date of the Notes; (iii) after the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer; and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Registered Exchange
Offer within 40 business days after the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.
If the Issuers are unable to consummate a Registered Exchange Offer within 40 business days after
the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or for other reasons, they will,
subject to certain exceptions, be required to file a shelf registration statement (a Shelf
Registration Statement) with the Commission covering resales of the Notes or the exchange notes,
as the case may be, and to obtain and maintain effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement
for certain periods of time as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
If the Issuers fail to comply with certain obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement
(a Registration Default), they will be required to pay liquidated damages in the form of
additional cash interest to the holders of the Notes. Upon the occurrence of a Registration
Default, the interest rate on the Notes shall be increased by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day
period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default and shall increase by
0.25% per annum 90 days thereafter until all Registration Defaults have been cured, but in no event
shall such aggregate additional interest exceed 0.50% per annum. The Issuers shall not be required
to pay additional interest for more than one Registration Default at
any given time. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Notes, the interest rate
borne by the relevant Notes will be reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Notes.
The
Registration Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this
Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
