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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, consists of the following:

As of June 30, 2018, TETRA (excluding CCLP) had a $61.0 million outstanding balance and $6.8 million in letters of credit against its Credit Agreement, leaving a net availability of $132.2 million. There was no balance outstanding under the CCLP New Credit Agreement (as defined below) as of June 30, 2018.

As described below, we and CCLP are in compliance with all covenants of our respective debt and senior note agreements as of June 30, 2018.
    
Our Long-Term Debt

Our Credit Agreement.

At June 30, 2018, our consolidated leverage ratio was 2.18 to 1 (compared to a 4.75 to 1 maximum allowed under the Credit Agreement) and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.87 to 1 (compared to a 1.25 to 1 minimum required under the Credit Agreement).

CCLP Long-Term Debt    

CCLP Senior Secured Notes. On March 8, 2018, CCLP, and its wholly owned subsidiary, CSI Compressco Finance Inc. (together with CCLP, the "CCLP Issuers") entered into the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as representative of the initial purchasers listed in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the CCLP Issuers agreed to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $350 million aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Issuers’ 7.50% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2025 (the "CCLP Senior Secured Notes") (the "CCLP Offering") pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

The CCLP Issuers closed the Offering on March 22, 2018. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes were issued at par for net proceeds of approximately $343.8 million, after deducting certain financing costs. CCLP used a portion of the net proceeds to repay in full and terminate its existing bank Credit Agreement and plans to use the remainder for general partnership purposes, including the expansion of its compression fleet. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes are jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guaranteed (the "Guarantees" and, together with the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, the "CCLP Senior Secured Note Securities") on a senior secured basis initially by each of CCLP's domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than CSI Compressco Finance Inc., certain immaterial subsidiaries and certain other excluded domestic subsidiaries) and are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the CCLP Issuers' and the Guarantors' assets (other than certain excluded assets) (the "Collateral") as collateral security for their obligations under the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, subject to certain permitted encumbrances and exceptions. On the closing date, CCLP entered into an indenture (the "Indenture") by and among the Obligors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee with respect to the Securities. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum. Interest on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2018. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes are scheduled to mature on April 1, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, CCLP incurred total financing costs of $6.7 million related to the CCLP Senior Secured Notes. These costs are deferred, netting against the carrying value of the amount outstanding.

On and after April 1, 2021, CCLP may redeem all or a part of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below:

In addition, at any time and from time to time before April 1, 2021, CCLP may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the CCLP Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, subject to the rights of holders of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Prior to April 1, 2021, CCLP may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes with an amount of cash not greater than the amount of the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.500% of the principal amount of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, provided that (a) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes originally issued on the issue date (excluding notes held by CCLP and its subsidiaries) remains outstanding after each such redemption; and (b) the redemption occurs within 180 days after the date of the closing of the equity offering.
    
If CCLP experiences certain kinds of changes of control, each holder of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes will be entitled to require CCLP to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that holder’s CCLP Senior Secured Notes pursuant to an offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. CCLP will offer to make a cash payment equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of holders of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

The Indenture contains customary covenants restricting CCLP's ability and the ability of CCLP restricted subsidiaries to: (i) pay distributions on, purchase or redeem CCLP common units or purchase or redeem any CCLP subordinated debt; (ii) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain kinds of preferred equity securities; (iii) create or incur certain liens securing indebtedness; (iv) sell assets, including dispositions of the Collateral; (v) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from its restricted subsidiaries to CCLP. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including certain provisions permitting CCLP, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to transfer assets to certain of CCLP's unrestricted subsidiaries. Moreover, if the CCLP Senior Secured Notes receive an investment grade rating from at least two rating agencies and no default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, many of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture will be terminated. The Indenture also contains customary events of default and acceleration provisions relating to such events of default, which provide that upon an event of default under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding CCLP Senior Secured Notes may declare all of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On March 22, 2018, CCLP, the grantors named therein, the Trustee and U.S. Bank National Association, as the collateral trustee (the “Collateral Trustee”), entered into a collateral trust agreement (the “Collateral Trust Agreement”) pursuant to which the Collateral Trustee will receive, hold, administer, maintain, enforce and distribute the proceeds of all of its liens upon the collateral for the benefit of the current and future holders of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes and any future priority lien obligations, if any.

CCLP Bank Credit Facilities.

On March 22, 2018, in connection with the closing of the CCLP Offering, CCLP repaid all outstanding borrowings and obligations under its existing CCLP Credit Agreement with a portion of the net proceeds from the CCLP Offering, and terminated the CCLP Credit Agreement. As a result of the termination of the CCLP Credit Agreement, associated unamortized deferred financing costs of $3.5 million were charged to other (income) expense, net, during the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

On June 29, 2018, CCLP and two of its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the "CCLP Borrowers"), and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries named therein as guarantors (the "CCLP New Credit Agreement Guarantors"), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "CCLP New Credit Agreement") with the lenders thereto (the "Lenders"), and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent, collateral agent, letter of credit issuer, and swing line lender. All of the CCLP Borrowers' obligations under the CCLP New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of their existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The CCLP New Credit Agreement includes a maximum credit commitment of $50.0 million available for loans, letters of credit (with a sublimit of $25.0 million) and swingline loans (with a sublimit of $5.0 million). Such maximum credit commitment may be increased by $25.0 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CCLP New Credit Agreement.

The CCLP Borrowers may borrow funds under the CCLP New Credit Agreement to pay fees and expenses related to the CCLP New Credit Agreement and for the Borrower's ongoing working capital needs and for general business purposes. The revolving loans under the CCLP New Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to breakage or similar costs. The maturity date of the CCLP New Credit Agreement is June 29, 2023. As of June 30, 2018, no balance was outstanding under the CCLP New Credit Agreement. Because there was no outstanding balance on the CCLP New Credit Agreement, associated deferred financing costs of $1.3 million as of June 30, 2018, were classified as other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Borrowings under the CCLP New Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the CCLP Borrowers, either (i) London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for an interest period equal to 30, 60, 90, 180 or 360 days (as selected by the CCLP Borrowers, subject to availability and with the consent of the Lenders for 360 days) plus a margin based on average daily excess availability or (ii) a base rate plus a margin based on average daily excess availability; such base rate shall be determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of interest announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A., (b) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the CCLP New Credit Agreement) rate plus 0.5% per annum and (c) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a 30-day interest period on such day plus 1.0% per annum. Initially, from June 29, 2018 until the delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018, LIBOR-based loans will have an applicable margin of 2.00% per annum and base-rate loans will have an applicable margin of 1.00% per annum; thereafter, the applicable margin will range between 1.75% and 2.25% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.75% and 1.25% per annum for base-rate loans, according to average daily excess availability when financial statements are delivered. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the CCLP New Credit Agreement, the CCLP Borrowers will be required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder, initially at the rate of 0.375% per annum until the delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018 and thereafter at the applicable rate ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum, paid quarterly in arrears based on utilization of the commitments under the CCLP New Credit Agreement. The CCLP Borrowers will also be required to pay a customary letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on revolving credit LIBOR loans and fronting fees.

The CCLP New Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of the CCLP Borrowers, the CCLP New Credit Agreement Guarantors and certain of their subsidiaries to take certain actions including, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, the making of investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends and the sale of assets. The CCLP New Credit Agreement also contains a requirement that the CCLP Borrowers comply, during certain periods, with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.

All obligations under the CCLP New Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first priority security interest for the benefit of the Lenders in the CCLP Borrowers’ and the CCLP New Credit Agreement Guarantors’ present and future accounts receivable, inventory and related assets and proceeds of the foregoing (the “CCLP ABL Collateral”).
