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
had shared voting power with respect to 3,308,791 Subject Units and sole voting
and dispositive power of 85,600 Trust Units.
On April 22, 2002, Williams filed a Schedule 13D/A reporting that it
had shared voting power with respect to 3,108,791 Subject Units and sole voting
and dispositive power of 143,400 Trust Units.
On September 4, 2002, Williams filed a Schedule 13D/A reporting that it
had shared voting power with respect to 3,008,791 Subject Units and sole voting
and dispositive power of 60,000 Trust Units.
On October 2, 2002, Williams filed a Schedule 13D/A reporting that it
had shared voting power with respect to 2,858,791 Subject Units and sole voting
and dispositive power of 108,800 Trust Units.
The purpose of this Amendment No. 6 on Schedule 13D/A is to reflect the
fact that Williams owns beneficial interest in the remaining Subject Units in
the form of derivative securities and the fact that Williams has sold underlying
Trust Units that it acquired pursuant to exercises of its Call Option.
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Amendment No. 6 on Schedule 13D/A (this "Amendment No. 6") relates
to the Trust Units and the Subject Units and is being filed by Williams. This
Amendment No. 6 amends Items 3 and 5 of Amendment No. 5 on Schedule 13D/A filed
on October 2, 2002.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
No change.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Williams acquired beneficial ownership of the Subject Units on August
11, 2000 in the form of a Call Option granted to it by Quatro pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement. Williams was granted the Call Option by Quatro in exchange
for the Put Option to Quatro under the Purchase Agreement. The Call Option may
be exercised at a stated strike price, which is subject to certain adjustments
(including with respect to certain distributions, tax credits, adjustments
thereto and accrued interest). Williams, through a series of exercises of its
Call Option, acquired an aggregate of 150,000 Trust Units from October 1, 2002
through November 15, 2002. Williams funded the purchase of the Trust Units
through general corporate funds.
From October 1, 2002 to November 15, 2002, Williams sold an aggregate
of 108,800 Trust Units in the public market through ordinary broker-dealer
transactions pursuant to an effective registration statement filed on September
28, 2001 at the market price on the date of sale. The weighted average price
received by Williams for the sale of the Trust Units was $8.8669.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
No change.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER AS OF NOVEMBER 15, 2002.
(a) There were 9,700,000 units of the Trust outstanding as of
March 1, 2002. Williams is deemed to be the beneficial owner
of 2,858,791 units, of which 2,708,791 units are owned in the
form of the Call Option and 150,000 of which are owned in the
form of common units. The units constitute 29.47% of the
issued and outstanding common units.
(b) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: Shared power to vote
or to direct the vote: Sole power to dispose or to direct the

or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Subject Units or
any other units of the Trust.
(e) Not applicable.
