Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
        Securities of the Issuer.

     On August 11, 2000, Williams and Quatro Finale IV LLC (QFIV) entered into a
Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which QFIV
purchased from Williams 3,568,791 units of beneficial interest evidencing an
undivided interest in the Williams Coal Seam Gas Royalty Trust ( the Subject
Trust Units). The Williams Coal Seam Gas Royalty Trust is governed by that
certain Trust Agreement dated as of December 1, 1992, as amended from time to
time, among Williams Production Company, Williams, Chemical Bank Delaware and
Nations Bank of Texas, N.A. (the Trust Agreement). The Purchase Agreement
provides that under certain circumstances QFIV has the right to cause Williams
to purchase the Subject Trust Units from QFIV (the Put Option) and Williams has
the right to cause QFIV to sell the Subject Trust Units back to Williams (the
Call Option). Each of the Put Option and 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). The Put Option expires upon the exercise of the Call Option. The Call
Option expires upon the exercise of the Put Option. Both the Put Option and the
Call Option expire on June 30, 2003.

     On August 11, 2000, Williams and QFIV also entered into a separate Nominee
and Voting Rights Agreement (the Voting Rights Agreement), pursuant to which
QFIV granted Williams the voting rights (but not beneficial interest) associated
with the Subject Trust Units. The voting rights granted to Williams are limited
to the extent that Williams may not vote in favor of any proposed amendment to
the Trust Agreement or to the Gas Purchase Agreement and Gas Gathering Agreement
(as those terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement). The voting rights
granted to Williams terminate and revert to QFIV upon the first to occur of (i)
July 1, 2003, or (ii) certain events relating to the financial condition of
Williams (including insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings). Even after these
voting rights revert to QFIV, QFIV is obligated to vote in favor of a proposal
to terminate the Williams Coal Seam Gas Royalty Trust if QFIV is a record holder
for voting purposes any time prior to (i) July 1, 2004, or (ii) the date on
which a registration of the Subject Trust Units, pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement between QFIV and Williams, dated August 11, 2000, becomes
effective.
