Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	In connection with the initial public offering (the "Offering") of Williams Partners L.P. (the "Issuer"), the underwriters were granted the right to purchase up to an aggregate 750,000 Common Units (the "Option") from Williams Energy Services, LLC ("WES"), Williams Energy, L.L.C. ("WE"), Williams Partners Holdings LLC ("Holdings") and Williams Discovery Pipeline LLC ("Williams Pipeline") to cover over-allotments, if any. Concurrently with the closing of the Offering on August 23, 2005, the underwriters fully exercised the Option and purchased (a) 95,084 Common Units from WES, (b) 268,385 Common Units from WE, (c) 256,944 Common units from Holdings and (d) 129,587 Common Units from Williams Pipeline, for an aggregate of 750,000 Common Units.
(2)	The Williams Companies, Inc. ("TWC") owns directly or indirectly 100% of each of Williams Partners GP LLC (the "General Partner"), Holdings, WES, WE, Williams Pipeline and MAPCO Inc. ("MAPCO"). MAPCO is the sole member of WE. WES is the sole stockholder of MAPCO and the sole member of Williams Pipeline and the General Partner. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Issuer.
(3)	TWC indirectly beneficially owns (a) the Common Units that each of WE, Holdings, WES and Williams Pipeline directly beneficially own and (b) the IDRs and the 2% general partner interest in the Issuer held by the General Partner. WES directly beneficially owns the Common Units noted above and indirectly beneficially owns (a) the Common Units that each of WE and Williams Pipeline directly beneficially own and (b) the IDRs and the 2% general partner interest in the Issuer held by the General Partner. MAPCO indirectly beneficially owns the Common Units that WE directly beneficially owns.
(4)	The reporting persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interests therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting persons are beneficial owners of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
(5)	After the exercise of the Option, (a) Holdings directly held 428,239 Common Units, (b) WES directly held 158,473 Common Units, (c) WE directly held 447,308 Common Units and (d) Williams Pipeline directly held 215,980 Common Units.
(6)	After the exercise of the Option, WE and MAPCO beneficially own less than 10% of the outstanding Common Units of the Issuer and, therefore, are no longer subject to Section 16.
