On June 24, 2011, Compressco Partners entered into a new credit agreement (the Partnership Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Under the Partnership Credit Agreement, Compressco Partners, along with certain of its subsidiaries, are named as borrowers, and all obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by all of Compressco Partners' existing and future, direct and indirect, domestic subsidiaries. All obligations under the Partnership Credit Agreement are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first lien security interest in substantially all of the assets (excluding real property) of Compressco Partners and its subsidiaries and all of the capital stock of the subsidiaries of Compressco Partners (with some limitations). The Partnership Credit Agreement includes borrowing capacity of $20.0 million, less $3.0 million that is required to be set aside as a reserve that cannot be borrowed. The facility is available for letters of credit (at a sublimit of $5.0 million) and includes an uncommitted $20.0 million expansion feature. The Partnership Credit Agreement will be used to fund Compressco Partners' working capital needs, letters of credit, and for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions. So long as it is not in default, Compressco Partners may use its credit facility to fund its quarterly distributions. Borrowings under the Partnership Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default. As of September 30, 2011, there is no balance outstanding under the Partnership Credit Agreement.
