EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Original 10-K”) of Access Midstream Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is being filed for the purpose of including a new Note 16 – Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements (the “Guarantor Footnote”) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X. The primary purpose of the Guarantor Footnote is to provide financial information to the holders of the Partnership’s publicly traded debt instruments regarding the Partnership’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
This Amendment solely modifies Part II, Item 8 and Part IV, Item 15 of the Original 10-K. All other Items of the Original 10-K are unaffected by this Amendment, and such Items have not been included in this Amendment. Information included in this Amendment is stated as of December 31, 2013, and does not reflect any subsequent events after the filing of the Original 10-K.
The certifications pursuant to Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 to the Original 10-K, have been re-executed and re-filed as of the date of this Amendment.
The Partnership’s management has considered whether the addition of the Guarantor Footnote to conform to the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act affects management’s conclusion, set forth in the Original 10-K, regarding the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2013, of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management continues to believe that, as of December 31, 2013:
• The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Partnership’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and
• The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria on which it was evaluated, as described in the Original 10-K. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting is included in this Amendment.
PART II
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
It is the responsibility of the management of Access Midstream Partners, L.P. to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a — 15(f) and 15d — 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and board of directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992 Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which appears herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Access Midstream Partners GP, L.L.C., as General Partner of Access Midstream Partners, L.P. and the Unitholders:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in partners’ capital and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Access Midstream Partners, L.P. and its subsidiaries (the "Partnership") at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 1992 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Partnership's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Prior to December 2012, as discussed in Notes 5 and 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Access Midstream Partners, L.P. earned substantially all of its revenues and had other significant transactions with affiliated entities.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
Basis of presentation. Access Midstream Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed in January 2010, is principally focused on natural gas gathering, the first segment of midstream energy infrastructure that connects natural gas produced at the wellhead to third-party takeaway pipelines. The Partnership is the industry’s largest gathering and processing master limited partnership as measured by throughput volume. The Partnership’s assets are located in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming. The Partnership provides gathering, treating and compression services to Chesapeake Energy Corporation (“Chesapeake”), Total Gas and Power North America, Inc. (“Total”), Statoil ASA (“Statoil”), Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”), Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”) and other producers under long-term, fixed-fee contracts.
For purposes of these financial statements, the “GIP I Entities” refers to, collectively, GIP-A Holding (CHK), L.P., GIP-B Holding (CHK), L.P. and GIP-C Holding (CHK), L.P., the “GIP II Entities” refers to certain entities affiliated with Global Infrastructure Investors II, LLC, and “GIP” refers to the GIP I Entities and their affiliates and the GIP II Entities, collectively. “Williams” refers to The Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE: WMB).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (��GAAP”). To conform to these accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. These estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis, utilizing historical experience and other methods considered reasonable under the particular circumstances. Although these estimates are based on management’s best available knowledge at the time, changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new facts or circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates. Effects on the Partnership’s business, financial position and results of operations resulting from revisions to estimates are recognized when the facts that give rise to the revision become known.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.
Offerings and acquisitions.
GIP II Entities acquisition. During the second quarter of 2012, the GIP II Entities acquired Chesapeake’s 50 percent interest in the Partnership’s general partner and all of the common units and subordinated units in the Partnership that were previously held by Chesapeake. The remaining 50 percent interest in the Partnership’s general partner continued to be owned by the GIP I Entities.
Marcellus acquisition. On December 29, 2011, the Partnership acquired from CMD, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Appalachia Midstream Services, L.L.C. (“Appalachia Midstream”) for total consideration of $879.3 million, consisting of 9,791,605 common units and $600.0 million in cash that was financed with a draw on the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. Through the acquisition of Appalachia Midstream, the Partnership operates 100 percent of and owns an approximate average 47 percent interest in 10 gas gathering systems that consist of approximately 549 miles of gas gathering pipeline in the Marcellus Shale. The remaining 53 percent interest in these assets is owned primarily by Statoil ASA (“Statoil”), Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”), Epsilon Energy Ltd. (“Epsilon”), Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”). Appalachia Midstream operates the assets under 15-year fixed fee gathering agreements. The gathering agreements include significant acreage dedications and cost of service mechanisms. EBITDA exceeded the $100 million and $150 million targets in 2012 and 2013 and no additional revenue related to the commitment was recognized.
CMO acquisition. On December 20, 2012, the Partnership acquired from Chesapeake Midstream Development, L.P. (“CMD”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake, and certain of CMD’s affiliates, 100 percent of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Chesapeake Midstream Operating, L.L.C. (“CMO”) for total consideration of $2.16 billion (the “CMO Acquisition”). As a result of the CMO Acquisition, the Partnership owns certain midstream assets in the Eagle Ford, Utica and Niobrara regions. The CMO Acquisition also extended the Partnership’s existing assets and operations in the Haynesville, Marcellus and Mid-Continent regions. The acquired assets included, in the aggregate, approximately 1,675 miles of pipeline and 4.3 million (gross) dedicated acres as of the date of the acquisition. The Partnership also
9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
assumed various gas gathering and processing agreements associated with the assets that have terms ranging from 10 to 20 years and that, in certain cases, include cost of service or fee redetermination mechanisms.
Equity Issuance. On August 2, 2013, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (“ATM”) under which it may offer and sell common units, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors, having an aggregate market value of up to $300 million. The Partnership is under no obligation to issue equity under the ATM. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 0.9 million common units under the ATM for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $50.1 million and an approximate $1.0 million capital contribution from the Partnership’s general partner to maintain its two percent general partner interest. The Partnership used the proceeds for general partnership purposes.
On April 2, 2013, the Partnership completed an equity offering of 10.35 million common units, including 1.35 million common units issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional common units, at a price of $39.86 per common unit.
The Partnership received offering proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of $399.8 million from the equity offering, including proceeds from the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional common units, plus an approximate $8.4 million capital contribution from the Partnership’s general partner to maintain its two percent general partner interest. The proceeds were used for general partnership purposes, including repayment of amounts outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility.
On December 18, 2012, the Partnership completed an equity offering of 18.4 million common units (such amount includes 2.4 million common units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) representing limited partner interest in the Partnership, at a price of $32.15 per common unit.
The Partnership received gross offering proceeds (net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses) from the equity offering of approximately $569.3 million, including the exercise of the option to purchase additional units. The Partnership used the net proceeds to pay a portion of the purchase price for the CMO Acquisition.
Subscription Agreement. On December 20, 2012, the Partnership sold 5.9 million Class B units to each of the GIP II Entities and Williams and 5.6 million Class C units to each of the GIP II Entities and Williams, in each case pursuant to the subscription agreement. The Partnership received aggregate proceeds of approximately $712.1 million in exchange for the sale of Class B units and Class C units, inclusive of the capital contribution made by its general partner to maintain its 2.0 percent interest in the Partnership following the issuance of common, Class B and Class C units.
The results of operations presented and discussed in this annual report include results of operations from CMO for the twelve-day period from closing of the CMO Acquisition on December 20, 2012 through December 31, 2012.
Williams Acquisition. Concurrently with the CMO Acquisition, the GIP I Entities sold to Williams 34,538,061 of the Partnership’s subordinated units and 50% of the outstanding equity interests in Access Midstream Ventures, L.L.C., the sole member of the Partnership’s general partner (“Access Midstream Ventures”), for cash consideration of approximately $1.8 billion (the “Williams Acquisition”). The Partnership did not receive any cash proceeds from the Williams Acquisition. As a result of the closing of the Williams Acquisition, the GIP II Entities and Williams together own and control the Partnership’s general partner and the GIP I Entities no longer have any ownership interest in the Partnership or its general partner.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of contingencies. Significant estimates include: (1) estimated useful lives of assets, which impacts depreciation and amortization; (2) accruals related to revenues, expenses and capital costs; (3) liability and contingency accruals; and (4) cost allocations. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from the Partnership’s estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents. For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, investments in all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. The Partnership had approximately $17.2 million and $65.0 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Book overdrafts are checks that have been issued before the end of the period, but not presented
11
ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
to the bank for payment before the end of the period. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, book overdrafts of $25.1 million and $30.0 million, respectively, were included in accounts payable.
Accounts receivable. The majority of accounts receivable relate to gathering and treating activities. Accounts receivable included in the balance sheets are reflected net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if warranted. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership had no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not add capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred. The carrying value of the assets is based on estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to useful lives and salvage values. As assets are disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operating expenses in the statements of operations.
Depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, based on the assets’ estimated useful lives. These estimates are based on various factors including age (in the case of acquired assets), manufacturing specifications, technological advances and historical data concerning useful lives of similar assets. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.
Impairment of long-lived assets. Long-lived assets with recorded values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash flows are written down to estimated fair value. Assets are tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss equal to the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset is recognized. Fair value is determined using an income approach whereby the expected future cash flows are discounted using a rate management believes a market participant would assume is reflective of the risks associated with achieving the underlying cash flows.
Equity Method Investments. The equity method of accounting is used to account for the Partnership’s interest in Utica East Ohio Midstream LLC and Ranch Westex JV, LLC, which the Partnership acquired as part of the CMO Acquisition. The equity method is also used to account for the Partnership’s various ownership interests in 10 gas gathering systems in the Marcellus Shale. See Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation for more information on the acquisitions.
Asset retirement obligations. Management recognizes a liability based on the estimated costs of retiring tangible long-lived assets. The liability is recognized at the Partnership’s fair value measured using expected discounted future cash outflows of the asset retirement obligation when the obligation originates, which generally is when an asset is acquired or constructed. The carrying amount of the associated asset is increased commensurate with the liability recognized. Accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to the Partnership’s expected settlement value. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability is adjusted for any changes in the expected value of the retirement obligation (with a corresponding adjustment to property, plant and equipment) and for accretion of the liability due to the passage of time, until the obligation is settled. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded for both the asset retirement obligation and the associated asset carrying amount. Revisions in estimated asset retirement obligations may result from changes in estimated inflation rates, discount rates, retirement costs and the estimated timing of settling asset retirement obligations.
Fair value. The fair-value-measurement standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard characterizes inputs used in determining fair value according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based upon the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (for example, quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or market-corroborated inputs).
12
ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Level 3 — inputs that are not observable from objective sources, such as management’s internally developed assumptions used in pricing an asset or liability (for example, an estimate of future cash flows used in management’s internally developed present value of future cash flows model that underlies the fair value measurement).
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value include third-party business combinations, impaired long-lived assets (asset groups), and initial recognition of asset retirement obligations.
The fair value of debt is the estimated amount the Partnership would have to pay to repurchase its debt, including any premium or discount attributable to the difference between the stated interest rate and market rate of interest at the balance sheet date. Fair values are based on quoted market prices or average valuations of similar debt instruments at the balance sheet date for those debt instruments for which quoted market prices are not available. See Note 11 — Debt and Interest Expense for disclosures regarding the fair value of debt.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.
Segments. Prior to the CMO Acquisition, the Partnership’s operations were organized into a single business segment. As a result of the CMO Acquisition, the Partnership added in three new operating regions. Effective January 1, 2013, the Partnership’s chief operating decision maker began to measure performance and allocate resources based on geographic segments. The Partnership’s operations are divided into eight operating segments: Barnett Shale, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale, Marcellus Shale, Niobrara Shale, Utica Shale, Mid-Continent region and Corporate.
Revenue Recognition. In 2013, the Partnership derived the majority of its revenues through gas gathering agreements with Chesapeake and Total. Pursuant to their respective applicable gas gathering agreements, Chesapeake and Total have agreed to minimum volume commitments covering production in the Barnett Shale region for each year through December 31, 2018 and for the six month period ending June 30, 2019, and, solely with respect to Chesapeake, in the Haynesville Shale region for each year through December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2017 for the Springridge and Mansfield systems, respectively. In the event either Chesapeake or Total does not meet its minimum volume commitment to the Partnership in the Barnett Shale region or Chesapeake does not meet its minimum volume commitment to the Partnership in the Haynesville Shale region, for any annual period (or six month period with respect to the six months ending June 30, 2019 in the Barnett Shale region) during the minimum volume commitment period, Chesapeake and Total will be obligated to pay a fee equal to the applicable fee for each Mcf by which the applicable party’s minimum volume commitment for such year (or six month period with respect to the six months ending June 30, 2019) exceeds the actual volumes gathered from such party’s production. The revenue associated with such shortfall fees is recognized in the fourth quarter of each year.
Revenues consist of fees recognized for the gathering, treating, compression and processing of natural gas. Revenues are recognized when the service is performed and is based upon non-regulated rates and the related gathering, treating, compression and processing volumes.
Deferred Loan Costs. External costs incurred in connection with closing the revolving bank credit facilities are capitalized as deferred loan costs and amortized over the life of the related agreement. Amortization is included in interest expense in the statement of operations.

Environmental Expenditures. Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are charged to expense when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. There are no liabilities reflected in the accompanying financial statements at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Equity Based Compensation. Certain employees of the Partnership’s general partner receive equity-based compensation through the Partnership’s equity-based compensation programs. The fair value of the awards issued is determined based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. This value is amortized over the vesting period, which is generally four years from the date of grant.
Certain key members of management have been designated as participants in the Management Incentive Compensation Plan which is made up of two components. The first component is an annual cash bonus based on “excess” cash distributions made by the Partnership above a specified target amount with respect to each fiscal quarter during which the award is outstanding. The second component is based on an increase in value of the Partnership’s common units at the end of a specified five-year period beginning on the award commencement date.
Included in operating expense, general and administrative expense, and income from unconsolidated affiliates is total equity-based compensation of $35.0 million, $9.0 million and $3.8 million for the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The LTIP provides for an aggregate of 3.5 million common units to be awarded to employees, directors and consultants of the Partnership’s general partner and its affiliates through various award types, including unit awards, restricted units, phantom units, unit options, unit appreciation rights and other unit-based awards. The LTIP has been designed to promote the interests of the Partnership and its unitholders by strengthening its ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified individuals to serve as employees, directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2013, there was $33.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense attributable to the LTIP, of which $29.7 million is expected to be recognized over a four year period.
The following table summarizes LTIP award activity for the year ended December 31, 2013:

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, unless the assets economic benefits are consumed on an other than straight-line basis. The estimated useful life is the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Partnership’s future cash flows. The estimated useful life of the customer relationship acquired with the Springridge gathering system and Appalachia Midstream is 15 years and 20 years for the CMO Acquisition. As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the Partnership’s intangible assets was $418.4 million, net of $46.0 of accumulated amortization. The Partnership estimates that it will record $22.8 million of intangible asset amortization for each of the next five years. As of December 31, 2012, the carrying value of the Partnership’s intangible assets was $377.8 million, net of $22.6 million of accumulated amortization. Amortization expense was $24.0 milllion, $11.3 million and $11.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for the Partnership.
The Partnership assesses long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amounts exceed the fair value of the assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Business Combinations. The Partnership makes various assumptions in developing models for determining the fair values of assets and liabilities associated with business acquisitions. These fair value models, developed with the assistance of outside consultants, apply discounted cash flow approaches to expected future operating results, considering expected growth rates, development opportunities, and future pricing assumptions to arrive at an economic value for the business acquired. The Partnership then determines the fair value of the tangible assets based on estimates of replacement costs less obsolescence. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consist primarily of customer contracts, customer relationships, trade names, and licenses and permits. The Partnership values customer relationships using a discounted cash flow model.
Income taxes. As a master limited partnership, the Partnership is a pass-through entity and also not subject to federal income taxes and most state income taxes with the exception of Texas Franchise Tax. For federal and state income tax purposes, all income, expenses, gains, losses and tax credits generate flow through to the owners, and accordingly, do not result in a provision for income taxes.
Variable Interest Entities (VIEs). An entity is referred to as a VIE pursuant to accounting guidance for consolidation if it possesses one of the following criteria: (i) it is thinly capitalized, (ii) the residual equity holders do not control the entity, (iii) the equity holders are shielded from the economic losses, (iv) the equity holders do not participate fully in the entity’s residual economics, or (v) the entity was established with non-substantive voting interests. We consolidate a VIE when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. We continually monitor both consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs to determine if any events have occurred that could cause the primary beneficiary to change.
3. | Partnership Distributions |
The partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days subsequent to the end of each quarter, the Partnership distributes all of its available cash (as defined in the partnership agreement) to unitholders of record on the applicable record date. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership paid cash distributions to its unitholders of approximately $389.1 million, $251.7 million and $200.9 million, respectively, representing the four quarterly distributions in 2013, 2012 and 2011. See also Note 14 — Subsequent Events concerning distributions approved in January 2014 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Available cash. The amount of available cash (as defined in the partnership agreement) generally is all cash on hand at the end of the quarter less the amount of cash reserves established by the Partnership’s general partner to provide for the proper conduct of its business, including reserves to fund future capital expenditures, to comply with applicable laws, or its debt instruments and other agreements, or to provide funds for distributions to its unitholders and to its general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters. Working capital borrowings generally include borrowings made under a credit facility or similar financing arrangement.
Conversion of Subordinated Units. Upon payment of the cash distribution for the second quarter of 2013, the subordination period with respect to the Partnership’s 69,076,122 subordinated units expired and all outstanding subordinated units converted into common units on a one-for-one basis on August 15, 2013. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership’s outstanding units representing limited partner interests.
Class B Units. The Class B units are not entitled to cash distributions. Instead, prior to conversion into common units, the Class B units receive quarterly distributions of additional paid-in-kind Class B units. The amount of each quarterly distribution per Class B unit is the quotient of the quarterly distribution paid to the Partnership’s common units by the volume-weighted average price of the common units for the 30-day period prior to the declaration of the quarterly distribution to common units. Effective on the business day after the record date for the distribution on common units for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014, each Class B unit will become convertible at the election of either the Partnership or the holders of such Class B unit into a common unit on a one-for-one basis. In the event of the Partnership’s liquidation, the holders of Class B units will be entitled to receive out of the Partnership’s assets available for distribution to the partners the positive balance in each such holder’s capital account in respect of such Class B units, determined after allocating the Partnership’s net income or net loss among the partners. All Class B units are held indirectly by affiliates of the Partnership’s general partner. The Class B units were issued at a discount to the market price of the common units which they are convertible. This discount totaling $58.3 million represents a beneficial conversion
15
ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
feature and is reflected as an increase in common unitholders’ capital and a decrease in Class B units capital to reflect the fair value of the Class B units at issuance on the Partnership’s consolidated statement of changes in partners’ capital for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The beneficial conversion feature is considered a non-cash distribution recognized ratably from the issuance date of December 20, 2012, through the conversion date, resulting in an increase in Class B units capital and a decrease in common unitholders’ capital.
Class C Units. The Class C units were entitled to quarterly cash distributions after the common units received the minimum quarterly distribution, plus any arrearages from prior quarters. The Class C units participated pro rata thereafter and received the minimum quarterly distribution, after which the Class C units participated in further cash distributions pro rata with the Partnership’s common units. Effective on the business day after the record date for the distribution on common units for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013, each Class C unit became convertible at the election of either the Partnership or the holders of such Class C unit into a common unit on a one-for-one basis. In the event of the Partnership’s liquidation, the holders of Class C units were entitled to receive out of the Partnership’s assets available for distribution to its partners the positive balance in each such holder’s capital account in respect of such Class C units, determined after allocating the Partnership’s net income or net loss among the Partners. All Class C units were held indirectly by affiliates of the Partnership’s general partner. The Class C units were issued at a discount to the market price of the common units which they are convertible. This discount totaling $36.7 million represents a beneficial conversion feature and is reflected as an increase in common unitholders’ capital and a decrease in Class C units capital to reflect the fair value of the Class C units at issuance on the Partnership’s consolidated statement of changes in partners’ capital for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The beneficial conversion feature is considered a non-cash distribution recognized ratably from the issuance date of December 20, 2012, through the conversion date, resulting in an increase in Class C units capital and a decrease in common unitholders’ capital. Effective February 19, 2014, all of the Class C units converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. Please read Note 14 (Subsequent Events).
General Partner Interest and Incentive Distribution Rights. The Partnership’s general partner is entitled to two percent of all quarterly distributions that the Partnership makes prior to its liquidation. The general partner has the right, but not the obligation, to contribute a proportionate amount of capital to the Partnership to maintain its current general partner interest. The general partner’s initial two percent interest in the Partnership’s distributions may be reduced if the Partnership issues additional limited partner units in the future (other than the issuance of common units upon conversion of outstanding Class B or the issuance of common units upon a reset of the incentive distribution rights) and its general partner does not contribute a proportionate amount of capital to the Partnership to maintain its two percent general partner interest. After distributing amounts equal to the minimum quarterly distribution to common unitholders (and Class B unitholders, upon conversion of Class B units to common units) and distributing amounts to eliminate any arrearages to common unitholders, the Partnership’s general partner is entitled to incentive distributions if the amount the Partnership distributes with respect to any quarter exceeds specified target levels shown below:
|
| Total quarterly distribution per unit |
| Unitholders |
|
| General partner |
| ||
Minimum Quarterly Distribution |
| $0.3375 |
|
| 98.0 | % |
|

|
| 25.0 | % |
Thereafter |
| above $0.50625 |
|
| 50.0 | % |
|
| 50.0 | % |
The table above assumes that the Partnership’s general partner maintains its two percent general partner interest, that there are no arrearages on common units and the general partner continues to own the incentive distribution rights. The maximum distribution sharing percentage of 50.0 percent includes distributions paid to the general partner on its two percent general partner interest and does not include any distributions that the general partner may receive on limited partner units that it owns or may acquire.
4. | Net Income per Limited Partner Unit |
The Partnership’s net income attributable to the Partnership’s assets for periods including and subsequent to the Partnership’s acquisitions of the Partnership’s assets is allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, including any subordinated, Class B and Class C unitholders, in accordance with their respective ownership percentages, and when applicable, giving effect to unvested units granted under the LTIP and incentive distributions allocable to the general partner. The allocation of undistributed earnings, or net income in excess of distributions, to the incentive distribution
16
ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
rights is limited to available cash (as defined by the partnership agreement) for the period. The Partnership’s net income allocable to the limited partners is allocated between the common, subordinated, Class B and Class C unitholders by applying the provisions of the partnership agreement that govern actual cash distributions as if all earnings for the period had been distributed. Accordingly, if current net income allocable to the limited partners is less than the minimum quarterly distribution, or if cumulative net income allocable to the limited partners since August 3, 2010 is less than the cumulative minimum quarterly distributions, more income is allocated to the common unitholders than the subordinated, Class B and Class C unitholders for that quarterly period.
Basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income by the weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding during the period. The common units issued during the period are included on a weighted-average basis for the days in which they were outstanding.
The following table illustrates the Partnership’s calculation of net income per unit for common and subordinated limited partner units (in thousands, except per-unit information):

5. | Related Party Transactions |
In June 2012, Chesapeake sold all of its ownership interests in the Partnership and its general partner; however, Mr. Dell’Osso, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Chesapeake, remained on the Partnership’s board of directors. The Partnership does not expect to complete additional significant transactions with Chesapeake. While Mr. Dell’Osso remains on the Partnership’s board, the Partnership no longer considers Chesapeake to be an affiliate of Access Midstream Partners. Because Chesapeake was the Partnership’s affiliate for a portion of 2012, set forth below is a description of the Partnership’s transactions with Chesapeake prior to 2013.
Affiliate transactions. In the normal course of business, natural gas gathering, treating and other midstream services were provided to Chesapeake and its affiliates. Revenues were derived primarily from Chesapeake, which included volumes attributable to third-party interest owners that participated in Chesapeake’s operated wells.
Omnibus Agreement. The Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with Access Midstream Ventures and Chesapeake Midstream Holdings that addressed the Partnership’s right to indemnification for certain liabilities and its obligation to indemnify Access Midstream Ventures and affiliated parties for certain liabilities.
17
ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
General and Administrative Services and Reimbursement. Pursuant to a services agreement, Chesapeake and its affiliates provided certain services including legal, accounting, treasury, human resources, information technology and administration. The employees supporting these operations were employees of Chesapeake Energy Marketing Inc. (“CEMI”) or Chesapeake. The consolidated financial statements for the Partnership and the predecessor included costs allocated from Chesapeake and CEMI for centralized general and administrative services, as well as depreciation of assets utilized by Chesapeake’s centralized general and administrative functions. Effective October 1, 2009, the Partnership was charged a general and administrative fee from Chesapeake based on the terms of the joint venture agreement. The established terms indicated corporate overhead costs were charged to the Partnership based on actual cost of the services provided, subject to a fee per Mcf cap based on volumes of natural gas gathered. The fee was calculated as the lesser of $0.0310/Mcf gathered or actual corporate overhead costs. General and administrative charges were $22.3 million and $23.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 for the Partnership.
Additional Services and Reimbursement. At the Partnership’s request, Chesapeake also provided the Partnership with certain additional services under the services agreement, including engineering, construction, procurement, business analysis, commercial, cartographic and other similar services to the extent they were not already provided by the seconded employees. In return for such additional services, the general partner reimbursed Chesapeake on a monthly basis an amount equal to the time and materials actually spent in performing the additional services. The reimbursement for additional services was not subject to the general and administrative services reimbursement cap.
Chesapeake agreed to perform all services under the relevant provisions of the services agreement using at least the same level of care, quality, timeliness and skill as it did for itself and its affiliates and with no less than the same degree of care, quality, timeliness and skill as its past practice in performing the services for itself and the Partnership’s business during the one year period prior to September 30, 2009. In any event, Chesapeake agreed to perform such services using no less than a reasonable level of care in accordance with industry standards.
In connection with the services arrangement, the Partnership reimburses GIP for certain costs incurred by GIP in connection with assisting the Partnership in the operation of its business. The cost for these support services was $0.4 million, $1.7 million, and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Employee Secondment Agreement. Chesapeake, certain of its affiliates and the Partnership’s general partner entered into an amended and restated employee secondment agreement pursuant to which specified employees of Chesapeake were seconded to the general partner and provided operating, routine maintenance and other services with respect to the Partnership’s business under the direction, supervision and control of the general partner. Additionally, all of the Partnership’s executive officers other than its chief executive officer, Mr. Stice, were seconded to the general partner pursuant to this agreement. The general partner, subject to specified exceptions and limitations, reimbursed Chesapeake on a monthly basis for substantially all costs and expenses Chesapeake incurred relating to such seconded employees, including the cost of their salaries, bonuses and employee benefits, including 401(k), restricted stock grants and health insurance and certain severance benefits. Charges to the Partnership for the services rendered by such seconded employees were $49.4 million and $42.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These charges included $37.7 million and $37.7 million in operating expenses and $11.7 million and $4.4 million in general and administrative expenses for the years end December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Shared Services Agreement. In return for the services of Mr. Stice as the chief executive officer of the Partnership’s general partner during the years ended December 2012 and 2011, its general partner entered into a shared services agreement with Chesapeake pursuant to which its general partner reimbursed certain of the costs and expenses incurred by Chesapeake in connection with Mr. Stice’s employment. The general partner was generally expected, subject to certain exceptions, to reimburse Chesapeake for 50 percent of the costs and expenses of the amounts provided to Mr. Stice in his employment agreement; however, the ultimate reimbursement obligation was determined based on the amount of time Mr. Stice actually spent working for the Partnership.
Gas Compressor Master Rental and Servicing Agreement. The Partnership has entered into a gas compressor master rental and servicing agreement with MidCon Compression, L.L.C., (“MidCon Compression”) a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Chesapeake, pursuant to which MidCon Compression agreed to provide the Partnership certain compression equipment that the Partnership uses to compress gas gathered on its gathering systems outside the Marcellus Shale and provide certain related services. In return for providing such equipment, the Partnership pays specified monthly rates per specified compression units, subject to an annual escalator to be applied on October 1st of
18
ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
each year and a redetermination of such specified monthly rates to market rates effective no later than October 1, 2016. Under the compression agreement, the Partnership granted MidCon Compression the exclusive right to provide compression equipment to the Partnership in the acreage dedications through September 30, 2016. Thereafter, the Partnership will have the right to continue receiving such equipment through September 30, 2019 at market rates to be agreed upon between the parties or to receive compression equipment from unaffiliated third parties. MidCon Compression guarantees to the Partnership that the compressors will meet specified run time and throughput performance guarantees. The monthly rates are reduced for any equipment that does not meet these guarantees. The compression agreement expires on September 30, 2019 but will continue from year to year thereafter, unless terminated by the Partnership no less than 60 days prior to the end of the term or any year thereafter. The Partnership receives substantially all of the compression capacity for its existing gathering systems in the Marcellus Shale from MidCon Compression under a long-term contract expiring on January 31, 2021 pursuant to which the Partnership has agreed to pay specified monthly rates under a fixed-fee structure subject to an annual escalator. This agreement is not subject to an exclusivity provision. Compressor charges from affiliates were $65.3 million and $57.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These charges are included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Partnership is obligated to maintain general liability and property insurance, including machinery breakdown insurance with respect to the equipment. In addition, MidCon Compression has agreed to provide the Partnership with emission testing and other related services at monthly rates. The Partnership or MidCon Compression may terminate these services upon not less than six months notice.

8. | Acquisitions and Divestitures |
Acquisitions
CMO. On December 20, 2012, the Partnership acquired from CMD 100 percent of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Chesapeake Midstream Operating, L.L.C. (“CMO”) for total consideration of $2.16 billion. Through the acquisition of CMO, the Partnership owns certain midstream assets in the Eagle Ford, Utica, Niobrara, Haynesville, Marcellus and Mid-Continent regions. These assets include, in aggregate, approximately 1,675 miles of pipeline and 4.3 million dedicated acres as of the date of the acquisition. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The results of operations presented and discussed in this annual report include results of operations from the CMO acquisition for the twelve-day period from closing of the acquisition on December 20, 2012 through December 31, 2012. For this period, income attributable to CMO operations was $3.0 million. The purchase price in excess of the value underlying the gas gathering system assets and working capital is approximately $263.3 million and is attributable to customer relationships acquired. This intangible asset is being amortized over a 20 year period on a straight-line basis.
The table below reflects the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the CMO Acquisition (in thousands).

| 263,262 |
|
Other |
| 6,702 |
|
Total purchase price | $ | 2,160,000 |
|
The initial purchase price allocation was based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the CMO Acquisition. The fair values of the gathering assets, related equipment, and intangible assets acquired were based on the market, cost and income approaches. All fair-value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Upon completion of the initial purchase price allocation, the Partnership reviewed its assessment, including the identification and fair valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the third quarter 2013, the Partnership finalized certain of the estimates used in the initial purchase price allocation, primarily with respect to the valuation of assets and liabilities assumed in the Marcellus region. The balance sheet has been prospectively adjusted to reflect these changes, the most significant of which included a decrease to property, plant and equipment of $70.8 million, an increase to intangible assets of $55.4 million and an increase to other net assets of $15.4 million. None of the adjustments impacted the partnership’s statements of operations.

Marcellus. On December 29, 2011, the Partnership acquired from CMD all of the issued and outstanding common units of Appalachia Midstream for total consideration of $879.3 million, consisting of 9,791,605 common units and $600.0 million in cash that was financed with a draw on the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The base purchase price of $879.3 million was increased by $7.3 million due to initial working capital adjustments through December 31, 2011. Through the acquisition of Appalachia Midstream, the Partnership operates 100 percent of and owns an approximate average 47 percent interest in 10 gas gathering systems that consist of approximately 549 miles of gas gathering pipeline in the Marcellus Shale.
The results of operations presented and discussed in this annual report include results of operations from the Appalachia Midstream for the full year of operations in 2012 and the three-day period from closing of the acquisition on December 29, 2011, through December 31, 2011. The Partnership’s interest in the gas gathering systems is accounted for as an equity investment and is included in income from unconsolidated affiliate. For the three-day period ended December 31, 2011, income from unconsolidated affiliate attributable to Marcellus operations was $0.4 million. The purchase price in excess of the value underlying the gas gathering system assets and working capital is approximately $461.2 million and is attributable to customer relationships acquired. This intangible asset is being amortized over a 15 year period on a straight-line basis.
The following table presents the pro forma condensed financial information of the Partnership as if the CMO Acquisition and our acquisition of Appalachia Midstream each occurred on January 1, 2011. The pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions and estimates; therefore, the actual effects of these transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments. However, the Partnership’s management considers the applied estimates and assumptions to provide a reasonable basis for the presentation of the significant effects of certain transactions that are expected to have a continuing impact on the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership’s management considers the pro forma adjustments to be factually supportable and to appropriately represent the expected impact of items that are directly attributable to the transfer of CMO and Appalachia Midstream to the Partnership.

Divestitures
On September 4, 2013, the Partnership sold Mid-Atlantic Gas Services, L.L.C. (“Mid-Atlantic”) to Chesapeake for net proceeds of $32.9 million. Mid-Atlantic was acquired by the Partnership in December 2012 as part of the CMO Acquisition and consisted of midstream assets in the Marcellus Shale region. These assets were not part of the Partnership’s equity investment in Appalachia Midstream. The net proceeds equaled the Partnership’s basis in the assets. Consequently, the Partnership did not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the sale.

Marcellus. On December 29, 2011, the Partnership acquired from CMD, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake, and certain of its affiliates, all of the issued and outstanding common units of Appalachia Midstream for approximately $879.3 million. Through the acquisition of Appalachia Midstream, the Partnership operates 100 percent of and owns an approximate average 47 percent interest in 10 gas gathering systems that consist of approximately 549 miles of gas gathering pipeline in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. These 10 gathering systems consist of the Liberty, Victory, Rome and Selbyville gas gathering systems and six other smaller gas gathering systems. The remaining 53 percent interest in these assets is owned primarily by Statoil, Anadarko, Epsilon and Mitsui. Appalachia Midstream operates the assets under 15-year fixed fee gathering agreements. The 10 gathering systems are separate investments with varying ownership percentages and each gathering system is accounted for as an equity investment because all capital expenditures and other operating decisions must be approved by a supermajority vote of the gathering system’s owners.
Utica East Ohio Midstream, LLC. The Partnership acquired UEOM as part of the CMO Acquisition in December 2012. In March 2012, CMO entered into an agreement to form Utica East Ohio Midstream LLC (“UEOM”) with M3 Midstream, L.L.C. and EV Energy Partners, L.P. to develop necessary infrastructure for the gathering, processing and fractionation of natural gas and NGLs in the Utica Shale play in Eastern Ohio. The infrastructure complex, which is currently under construction, consists of natural gas gathering and compression facilities constructed and operated by the Partnership, as well as processing, NGL fractionation, loading and terminal facilities constructed and operated by M3 Midstream, L.L.C. The Partnership owns a 49 percent interest and UEOM is accounted for as an equity investment because the power to direct the activities which are most significant to UEOM’s economic performance is shared between the Partnership and the other equity holders.
Ranch Westex JV, LLC. The Partnership acquired Ranch Westex as part of the CMO Acquisition in December 2012. On December 1, 2011, CMO entered into a joint venture to form Ranch Westex JV, LLC. (“Ranch Westex”) with Regency Energy Partners, LP and Anadarko Pecos Midstream LLC to build a processing facility in Ward County, Texas, to process natural gas delivered from the liquids-rich Bone Springs and Avalon Shale formations. The Partnership owns a 33.33 percent interest and Ranch Westex is accounted for as an equity method investment because the power to direct the activities that are most significant to Ranch Westex’s economic performance is shared among the three equity holders. The project consists of two plants, a refrigeration plant and a cryogenic processing plant.

Revolving Credit Facility. On May 13, 2013, the Partnership amended its existing senior secured revolving credit facility. The amended and restated revolving credit facility matures in May 2018 and includes revolving commitments of $1.75 billion, including a sub-limit of $100 million for same-day swing line advances and a sublimit of $200 million for letters of credit. In addition, the revolving credit facility’s accordion feature allows the Partnership to increase the available borrowing capacity under the facility up to $2.0 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the identification of lenders or proposed lenders that agree to satisfy the increased commitment amounts under the revolving credit facility.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are available to fund working capital, finance capital expenditures and acquisitions, provide for the issuance of letters of credit and for general partnership purposes. The revolving credit facility is secured by all of the Partnership’s assets, and loans thereunder (other than swing line loans) bear interest at the Partnership’s option at either (i) the greater of (a) the reference rate of Wells Fargo Bank, NA, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50 percent or (c) the Eurodollar rate which is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus 1.00 percent, each of which is subject to a margin that varies from 0.50 percent to 1.50 percent per annum, according to the Partnership’s leverage ratio (as defined in the agreement), or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin that varies from 1.50 percent to 2.50 percent per annum, according to the Partnership’s leverage ratio. If the Partnership reaches investment grade status, the Partnership will have the option to release the security under the credit facility and amounts borrowed will bear interest under a specified ratings-based pricing grid. The unused portion of the credit facility is subject to commitment fees of (a) 0.25 percent to 0.375 percent per annum while the Partnership is subject to the leverage-based pricing grid, according to the Partnership’s leverage ratio and (b) 0.15 percent to 0.30 percent per annum while the Partnership is subject to the ratings-based pricing grid, according to its senior unsecured long-term debt ratings.
Additionally, the revolving credit facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which limit the Partnership and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, guarantees and/or liens; consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets; make certain investments or restricted payments; modify certain material agreements; engage in certain types of transactions with affiliates; dispose of assets; and prepay certain indebtedness. If the Partnership fails to perform its obligations under these and other covenants, the revolving credit commitment could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest, under the revolving credit facility could be declared immediately due and payable. The revolving credit facility also has cross default provisions that apply to any other indebtedness the Partnership may have with an outstanding principal amount in excess of $15 million.
The revolving credit facility agreement contains certain negative covenants that (i) limit the Partnership’s ability, as well as the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, among other things, to enter into hedging arrangements and create liens and (ii) require the Partnership to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, and an EBITDA to interest expense ratio, in each case as described in the credit facility agreement. The revolving credit facility agreement also provides for the discontinuance of the requirement for the Partnership to maintain the EBITDA to interest expense ratio and allows for the Partnership to release all collateral securing the revolving credit facility if the Partnership reaches investment grade status. The revolving credit facility agreement also requires the Partnership to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of 5.5 to 1.0 (or 5.0 to 1.0 after the Partnership has released all collateral upon achieving investment grade status). The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants under the agreement at December 31, 2013.

The Additional Notes are additional to the $350 million of 2021 Notes initially issued on April 19, 2011 and are fully fungible with, rank equally with and form a single series with the 2021 Notes. The Additional Notes were issued at a price of 101.5 percent of the principal amount plus accrued interest from April 15, 2013, resulting in net proceeds of $400.8 million, which was used for general partnership purposes, including funding working capital, repayment of indebtedness and funding the Partnership’s capital expenditure program. Debt issuance costs of $5.8 million are being amortized over the life of the Additional Notes.
The 2023 Notes will mature on May 15, 2023, and interest is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

14. | Subsequent Events |
On January 24, 2014, the board of directors of the Partnership’s general partner declared a cash distribution to the Partnership’s unitholders of $0.555 per unit, or $122.1 million in aggregate. The cash distribution was paid on February 14, 2014 to unitholders of record at the close of business on February 7, 2014.
Under the partnership agreement, the Class C units became convertible into common units on a one-for-one basis at the election of either the Partnership or the holders of the Class C units on February 10, 2014 (the first business day following the record date for the Partnership’s 2013 fourth quarter cash distribution). After February 10, 2014, the Partnership received notice from certain of the GIP II Entities and Williams, as holders of the Class C units, of their election to convert all of the Class C units. All of the outstanding Class C units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis effective February 19, 2014. The common units resulting from this conversion will participate pro rata with the other common units in quarterly distributions. The conversion did not impact the total number of the Partnership’s outstanding units representing limited partner interests.
