LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER BORROWINGS
 
We believe TETRA's capital structure and CCLP's capital structure should be considered separately, as there are no cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees between CCLP's debt and TETRA's debt.

Consolidated long-term debt as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, consists of the following:

As of September 30, 2017, TETRA (excluding CCLP) had no outstanding balance and $4.4 million in letters of credit against its Credit Agreement, leaving a net availability of $195.6 million. Because there was no outstanding balance on this Credit Agreement, associated deferred financing costs of $1.7 million as of September 30, 2017, were classified as other long-term assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2017, CCLP had an outstanding balance of $223.4 million and had $1.9 million letters of credit outstanding against the CCLP Credit Agreement, leaving a net availability of $89.7 million, subject to a borrowing base limitation. Availability under each of the TETRA Credit Agreement and the CCLP Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with the covenants and other provisions in the respective credit agreements that may limit borrowings thereunder. See below for further discussion of the CCLP Credit Agreement.

As described below, we and CCLP are in compliance with all covenants of our respective credit agreements and senior note agreements as of September 30, 2017.
    
Our Long-Term Debt

Our Credit Agreement.

At September 30, 2017, our consolidated leverage ratio was 1.95 to 1 (compared to a 5.00 to 1 maximum allowed under the Credit Agreement) and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.77 to 1 (compared to a 1.25 to 1 minimum required under the Credit Agreement).

CCLP Long-Term Debt    

At September 30, 2017, CCLP's consolidated total leverage ratio was 6.33 to 1 (compared to 6.75 to 1 maximum allowed under the CCLP Credit Agreement), its consolidated secured leverage ratio was 2.75 to 1 (compared to 3.25 to 1 maximum allowed under the CCLP Credit Agreement) and its consolidated interest coverage ratio was 2.63 to 1 (compared to a 2.25 to 1 minimum required under the CCLP Credit Agreement).

On May 5, 2017, CCLP entered into an amendment of the CCLP Credit Agreement (the "CCLP Fifth Amendment") that, among other things, modified certain financial covenants in the CCLP Credit Agreement, providing that (i) the consolidated total leverage ratio may not exceed (a) 5.95 to 1 as of March 31, 2017; (b) 6.75 to 1 as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017; (c) 6.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018; (d) 6.25 to 1 as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018; (e) 6.00 to 1 as of December 31, 2018; and (f) 5.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2019 and thereafter; and (ii) the consolidated secured leverage ratio may not exceed 3.25 to 1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. The consolidated interest coverage ratio was not amended by the CCLP Fifth Amendment. In addition, the CCLP Fifth Amendment (i) increased the applicable margin by 0.25% in the event the consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 6.00 to 1, resulting in a range for the applicable margin between 2.00% and 3.50% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and between 1.00% and 2.50% per annum for base-rate loans, depending on the consolidated total leverage ratio, and (ii) modified the appraisal delivery requirement from an annual requirement to a semi-annual requirement. In connection with the CCLP Fifth Amendment, the level of CCLP's cash distributions payable on its common units for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017 will be limited to the current reduced level. The CCLP Fifth Amendment also included additional revisions that provide flexibility to CCLP for the issuance of preferred securities.

The consolidated total leverage ratio and the consolidated secured leverage ratio, as both are calculated under the CCLP Credit Agreement, exclude the long-term liability for the CCLP Preferred Units, among other items, in the determination of total indebtedness.
