Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings
NOTE B – 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 consists of the following:

As of March 31, 2017, TETRA (excluding CCLP) had an outstanding balance on its Credit Agreement of $18.0 million, and had $5.0 million in letters of credit and guarantees against the revolving credit facility, leaving a net availability of $177.0 million. As of March 31, 2017, CCLP had a balance outstanding under the CCLP Credit Agreement of $225.0 million, had $1.9 million letters of credit and performance bonds outstanding, leaving a net availability under the CCLP Credit Agreement of $88.1 million. 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. In addition, availability under the CCLP Credit Agreement is also subject to a borrowing base limitation. 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 March 31, 2017.
    
Our Long-Term Debt

Our Credit Agreement.

At March 31, 2017, our consolidated leverage ratio was 2.58 to 1 (compared to a 5.00 to 1 maximum as allowed under the Credit Agreement) and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.40 to 1 (compared to a 1.25 to 1 minimum required under the Credit Agreement).

CCLP Long-Term Debt    

At March 31, 2017, CCLP's consolidated total leverage ratio was 5.67 to 1 (compared to 5.95 to 1 maximum as required under the CCLP Credit Agreement), its consolidated secured leverage ratio was 2.45 to 1 (compared to 3.25 to 1 maximum as required under the CCLP Credit Agreement) and its consolidated interest coverage ratio was 2.95 to 1 (compared to a 2.25 to 1 minimum as 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 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 affected 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.
