INTRODUCTORY NOTE
On August 30, 2000, The Williams Companies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Williams"), filed a Schedule 13D/A reporting that it had acquired
shared voting power with respect to 3,568,791 units of beneficial interest (the
"Subject Units") in the Trust pursuant to a Nominee and Voting Rights Agreement,
dated August 11, 2000, entered into by Williams and Quatro Finale IV, LLC
("Quatro") (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated November 8, 2001, the "Nominee
and Voting Rights Agreement"). The Nominee and Voting Rights Agreement was
entered into in connection with the sale of the Subject Units to Quatro pursuant
to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 11, 2000 between Williams and
Quatro (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated September 26, 2001, the "Purchase
Agreement"). Also pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Williams acquired a call
option (the "Call Option"), to purchase, in one or more lots of 10,000 units,
the Subject Units (as reported on Form 4 filed September 26, 2000) and Quatro
acquired an option to require Williams to purchase the Subject Units (the "Put
Option"). In December of 2001 and in January of 2002, Williams, through several
exercises of its Call Option, purchased an aggregate of 260,000 of the Subject
Units from Quatro (the "Trust Units"), changing only the form by which it
beneficially owned a portion of the Subject Units from derivative securities to
underlying securities. During December of 2001 and January of 2002 Williams also
sold many of the Trust Units it had acquired pursuant to its Call Option in the
public market under an effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed
September 28, 2001.
On January 4, 2002, Williams filed a Schedule 13D/A reporting that it
