Introduction
     This Amendment No. 2 further amends Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 and Schedule 1 of the Schedule 13D originally filed by The Williams Companies, Inc., Williams Energy Services, LLC, Williams Energy, L.L.C., MAPCO Inc., Williams Partners Holdings LLC and Williams Partners GP LLC (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) with the SEC on September 2, 2005 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 13, 2006 (“Amendment No. 1”). This statement relates to common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”) of Williams Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”). Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Original Schedule 13D and Amendment No. 1 shall remain unchanged.


 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
     The information previously provided in response to this Item 4 is hereby amended by replacing the text thereof in its entirety with the following:
     The Common Units reported in Item 3 above were acquired for investment purposes.
     Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of GP LLC (the “GP LLC Agreement”), WES has the right to appoint the board of directors of GP LLC. Through the right to appoint the board of directors of GP LLC pursuant to the GP LLC Agreement, WES and, through its 100% direct ownership of WES, TWC have the ability to influence the management policies and control of the Issuer with the aim of increasing the value of the Issuer, and thus, the Reporting Persons’ investment.
     The Subordinated Units owned of record by WES, WE, Williams Pipeline and Holdings are convertible into Common Units on a one-for-one basis once certain financial tests set forth in the Issuer’s Partnership


 

Agreement are met. Each of WES, WE, Williams Pipeline and Holdings may distribute the Common Units issued upon conversion of the Subordinated Units to their respective members, although they may elect to dispose of some or all of the Subordinated Units earlier in public or private transactions.
     Pursuant to the terms of the Issuer’s Partnership Agreement, among other conditions, GP LLC may not be removed from its position as general partner of the Issuer unless 66-2/3% of the outstanding Common and Subordinated Units, voting together as a single class, including units held by GP LLC and its affiliates, vote to approve such removal and the Issuer receives an opinion of counsel regarding limited liability and tax matters. Any removal of GP LLC is also subject to the approval of a successor general partner by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common and Subordinated Units, voting as separate classes. The ownership of more than 33-1/3% of the outstanding units by GP LLC and its affiliates would give them the practical inability to prevent GP LLC’s removal. After the closing of the Follow-On Offering (as defined below) on June 20, 2006, TWC indirectly owned a 100% interest in GP LLC and approximately 38.2% of the outstanding Common and Subordinated Units. Because the Reporting Persons control greater than 33-1/3% of the outstanding units, they can prevent the removal of GP LLC.
     The Issuer’s Partnership Agreement contains specific provisions that are intended to discourage a person or group from attempting to remove GP LLC as the Issuer’s general partner or otherwise change the Issuer’s management. If any person or group other than GP LLC and its affiliates acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of any class of units, that person or group loses voting rights on all of its units. This loss of voting rights does not apply to any person or group that acquires the units from GP LLC or its affiliates and any transferees of that person or group approved by GP LLC or to any person or group who acquires the units with the prior approval of the board of directors of GP LLC.
     Under the Partnership Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws any Common Units, Subordinated Units or other partnership securities proposed to be sold by GP LLC or any of its affiliates or their assignees if an exemption from the registration requirements is not otherwise available. These registration rights continue for two years following any withdrawal or removal of GP LLC as the Issuer’s general partner.
     TWC may lend money to the Issuer from time to time in the future pursuant to the revolving credit facility described in Item 6 below to fund the Issuer’s working capital borrowings. The decision to borrow money will be based on the Issuer’s working capital needs in the future. Further, subject to the limitations contained therein, the Issuer may borrow money from time to time in the future pursuant to TWC’s credit agreement described in Item 6 below for general partnership purposes, including acquisitions.
     On April 6, 2006, the Issuer entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with WES, Williams Field Services Group, LLC (“WFSG”), Williams Field Services Company, LLC (“WFSC”), GP LLC and Williams Partners Operating LLC, the operating subsidiary of the Issuer (“Williams OLLC”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, WES, WFSG, WFSC and GP LLC agreed to contribute to the Issuer a 25.1% membership interest (the “Four Corners Interest”) in Williams Four Corners LLC (“Four Corners”) for aggregate consideration of $360.0 million. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-32599) filed with the Commission on April 7, 2006 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 4.
     In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, on June 20, 2006, the Partnership, Williams OLLC, WES, WFSG, WFSC and GP LLC entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (the “Interest Contribution Agreement”) pursuant to which WES, WFSG, WFSC and GP LLC contributed the Four Corners Interest to the Issuer in exchange for aggregate consideration of $360.0 million ($355.8 million net of GP LLC’s capital contribution related to the Follow-On Offering). The Issuer subsequently contributed the Four Corners Interest to Williams OLLC. On June 20, 2006 and prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Interest Contribution Agreement, WFSC contributed to Four Corners its natural gas gathering, processing and treating assets in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico and Colorado. The foregoing description of the Interest Contribution Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Interest Contribution Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-32599) filed with the Commission on June 20, 2006 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 4.
     On June 20, 2006, the Issuer also closed a public offering of 7,590,000 Common Units at a public offering price of $31.25 per Common Unit (the “Follow-On Offering”) and a private placement of $150 million aggregate principal amount of 7½% Senior Notes due 2011. A portion of the net proceeds of the Follow-On Offering and the private placement were used to pay the purchase price for the Four Corners Interest. The Follow-On Offering, the private placement and the acquisition of the Four Corners Interest materially increased the capitalization of the Issuer.
     Further, the Issuer may from time to time increase the amount of its quarterly distribution to unitholders at the discretion of the board of directors of GP LLC. The information provided under the caption “Issuer’s Partnership Agreement-Cash Distributions” under Item 6 below is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
     As of the date of this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the Listed Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following actions, except as disclosed herein and except that the Reporting Persons or their affiliates or the Listed Persons may, from time to time or at any time, subject to market and general economic conditions, the expiration of the 90-day lock-up agreement entered into by TWC and certain of the Listed Persons in connection with the Follow-On Offering and other factors, purchase additional Common Units in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or sell at any time all or a portion of the Common Units or Subordinated Units now owned or hereafter acquired by them to one or more purchasers:
    the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;
 
    an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
 
    a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
 
    any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
 
    any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
 
    any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure including but not limited to, if the Issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;
 
    changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;


 

    causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
 
    a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or
 
    any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
     Depending on the factors described in the preceding paragraph, and other factors that may arise in the future, the Listed Persons may be involved in such matters and, depending on the facts and circumstances at such time, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters. In addition, the Listed Persons may entertain discussions with, and proposals to, the Issuer, to other unitholders of the Issuer or to third parties.
     References to, and descriptions of, the Partnership Agreement of the Issuer as set forth in this Item 4 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-32599) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 26, 2005 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 4.

As a result, after 2009, the Issuer will no longer receive any credit and will be required to reimburse TWC for all of the G&A expenses incurred on the Issuer’s behalf.
 
    TWC will indemnify the Issuer after the closing of the Offering against certain environmental and related liabilities arising out of or associated with the operation of the assets before the closing date of the Offering. These liabilities include both known and unknown environmental and related liabilities, including: (i) remediation costs associated with the KDHE Consent Orders and certain fugitive natural gas liquids associated with the Issuer’s Conway storage facilities; (ii) the costs associated with the installation of wellhead control equipment and well meters at the Issuer’s Conway storage facility; (iii) KDHE-related cavern compliance at the Issuer’s Conway storage facility; and (iv) the costs relating to the restoration of the overburden along the Issuer’s Carbonate Trend pipeline in connection with erosion caused by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. TWC will not be required to indemnify the Issuer for any project management or monitoring costs. This indemnification obligation will terminate three years after the closing of the Offering, except in the case of the remediation costs associated with the KDHE Consent Orders which will survive for an unlimited period of time. There is an aggregate cap of $14.0 million on the amount of indemnity coverage, including any amounts recoverable under the Issuer’s insurance policy covering those remediation costs and unknown claims at Conway. In addition, the Issuer is not entitled to indemnification until the aggregate amounts of claims exceed $250,000. Liabilities resulting from a change of law after the closing of the Offering are excluded from the environmental indemnity by TWC for the unknown environmental liabilities.
 
    TWC will also indemnify the Issuer for liabilities related to:
    certain defects in the easement rights or fee ownership interests in and to the lands on which any assets contributed to the Issuer are located and failure to obtain certain consents and permits necessary to conduct the Issuer’s business that arise within three years after the closing of the Offering; and
 
    certain income tax liabilities attributable to the operation of the assets contributed to the Issuer prior to the time they were contributed.
    TWC will reimburse the Issuer for the excess (up to $3.4 million) of the Issuer’s 40% share (approximately $27.8 million) of the total cost of the Tahiti pipeline lateral expansion project above the amount of the required escrow deposit ($24.4 million) attributable to the Issuer’s 40% interest in Discovery Producer Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Discovery”). TWC will reimburse the Issuer for these capital expenditures upon the earlier to occur of a capital call from Discovery or Discovery actually incurring the expenditure. TWC will also reimburse the Issuer for its 40% share of any liability to Discovery for potential shipper refunds that may be required by FERC for retained system gas gains and the over-recovery of lost and unaccounted-for gas at Discovery in excess of $4.0 million.
 
    TWC will indemnify the Issuer for any liabilities associated with the failure of a TWC affiliate to assign a license relating to a fractionation process used at the Conway fractionation facility to the Issuer and/or any costs incurred in obtaining a consent to such assignment.
 
    TWC and its affiliates will grant a license to the Issuer for the use of certain marks, including the Issuer’s logo, for as long as TWC controls GP LLC, at no charge.
Issuer’s Partnership Agreement
     GP LLC, as the sole general partner of the Issuer, WE, WES, Williams Pipeline and Holdings, as limited partners of the Issuer, and all other limited partners of the Issuer are party to the Partnership Agreement of the Issuer.
Cash Distributions


 

     Pursuant to the terms of the Issuer’s Partnership Agreement, the Issuer intends to make minimum quarterly distributions of $0.35 per unit per quarter, or $1.40 per unit on an annualized basis, if the Issuer has sufficient cash from its operations after the establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses, including payments to GP LLC in reimbursement for all expenses incurred by it on the Issuer’s behalf. In general, the Issuer will pay any cash distributions made each quarter to its unitholders in the following manner:
     first, 98% to the common unitholders, pro rata, and 2% to GP LLC, until each outstanding common unit has received the minimum quarterly distribution for that quarter;
     second, 98% to the common unitholders, pro rata, and 2% to GP LLC, until each outstanding common unit has received any arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution for any prior quarters during the subordinated period;
     third, 98% to the subordinated units, pro rata, and 2% to GP LLC, until each subordinated unit has received the minimum quarterly distribution for that quarter; and
     fourth, 98% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 2% to GP LLC, until each unitholder has received a distribution of $0.4025 per unit for that quarter.
     If cash distributions per unit exceed $0.4025 in any quarter, GP LLC will receive increasing percentages, up to a maximum of 50%, of the cash distributed in excess of that amount. These distributions are referred to as “incentive distributions.”
Conversion of Subordinated Units
     Pursuant the terms of the Issuer’s Partnership Agreement, in any quarter during the subordination period (the period Subordinated Units are outstanding), the Subordinated Units are entitled to receive the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35 only after the Common Units have received the minimum quarterly distribution and any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters. Subordinated Units will not accrue distribution arrearages. The subordination period will end once the Issuer meets certain financial tests set forth in the Issuer’s Partnership Agreement. These financial tests require, among other things, that the Issuer either (a) have earned and paid the minimum quarterly distribution and arrearages (if any) on all of its outstanding units for any three consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods or (b) have earned and paid an amount that equals or exceeds 150% of the annualized minimum quarterly distribution on each outstanding unit for any four-quarter period. When the subordination period ends, all remaining Subordinated Units will convert into Common Units on a one-for-one basis, and the Common Units will no longer be entitled to arrearages.
Limited Call Right
     Pursuant to the Issuer’s Partnership Agreement, if at any time GP LLC and its affiliates hold more than 80% of the then-issued and outstanding partnership securities of any class, GP LLC will have the right, but not the obligation, which it may assign in whole or in part to any of its affiliates or to the Issuer, to acquire all, but not less than all, of the remaining partnership securities of the class held by unaffiliated persons as of a record date to be selected by GP LLC, on at least 10 but not more than 60 days notice. The purchase price in the event of this purchase is the greater of: (i) the highest price paid by either of GP LLC or any of its affiliates for any partnership securities of the class purchased within the 90 days preceding the date on which GP LLC first mails notice of its election to purchase those partnership securities; and (ii) the current market price as of the date three days before the date the notice is mailed.
Voting Rights
     The Partnership Agreement of the Issuer sets forth the voting rights of the partners of the Issuer (including WES, WE, Williams Pipeline, Holdings and GP LLC), including, among others, those for the removal of GP LLC as the Issuer’s general partner, the transfer of the general partner interest in the Issuer and the transfer of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership.


 

Registration Rights
     Under the Partnership Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws any Common Units, Subordinated Units or other partnership securities proposed to be sold by GP LLC or any of its affiliates or their assignees if an exemption from the registration requirements is not otherwise available. These registration rights continue for two years following any withdrawal or removal of GP LLC as the Issuer’s general partner. The Issuer is obligated to pay all expenses incidental to the registration, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.
Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of GP LLC
     Under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of GP LLC, WES has the right to elect the members of the board of directors of GP LLC.
Credit Facilities
Working Capital Facility
     On August 23, 2005, the Issuer entered into a $20 million revolving credit facility with TWC as the lender. The facility will be available exclusively to fund working capital borrowings. Borrowings under the facility will mature on May 3, 2007. The Issuer must pay a commitment fee to TWC on the unused portion of the facility of 0.30% annually. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the same rate as for borrowings under the Credit Agreement described below. The Issuer is required to reduce all borrowings under the facility to zero for a period of at least 15 consecutive days once each 12-month period prior to the maturity date of the facility. The foregoing description of the revolving credit facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the revolving credit facility filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-32599) filed with the Commission on August 26, 2005 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 6.
TWC Credit Agreement
     The Issuer also has the ability to borrow up to $75 million under TWC’s credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for general partnership purposes, including acquisitions, but only to the extent that sufficient amounts remain unborrowed by TWC and its other subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement mature on May 1, 2009, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Issuers’ borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable interest rate based on either LIBOR or a base rate, in either case plus an applicable margin, currently 1.25% in the case of LIBOR and 0.25% in the case of base rate, that varies depending upon the rating of TWC's senior unsecured long-term debt. The Issuer is also required to pay or reimburse TWC for a commitment fee based on the unused portion of the Issuer’s $75 million borrowing limit under the Credit Agreement, currently 0.25% annually. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to TWC’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-04174) filed with the Commission on May 1, 2006 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 6.
     To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer not otherwise discussed in this Item 6 or elsewhere in this report.
     References to, and descriptions of, the Omnibus Agreement as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Omnibus Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-32599) filed with the Commission on August 26, 2005 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 6. References to, and descriptions of, the Partnership Agreement of the Issuer as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-32599) filed with the Commission on August 26, 2005 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 6. References to, and descriptions of, the GP LLC Agreement as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the GP LLC Agreement filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-32599) filed with the Commission on August 26, 2005 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 6.
