Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings
NOTE C – LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER BORROWINGS
 
Our consolidated capital structure changed significantly during 2014 as a result of the CSI Acquisition. Because of the increased level of consolidated debt, it is increasingly important to consider TETRA's capital structure and CCLP's capital structure separately, as we have no cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees with CCLP's debt, nor does CCLP with TETRA's debt.

Long-term debt consists of the following:

Our Senior Notes

On November 5, 2015, we entered into the 2015 Senior Note Purchase Agreement with GSO Tetra Holdings LP, an unrelated third party. Pursuant to the 2015 Senior Note Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue and sell $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series 2015 Senior Notes. The Series 2015 Senior Notes will be sold in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur on or before November 20, 2015. Immediately after closing and funding, we are required to apply a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Series 2015 Senior Notes to repay all of the indebtedness for borrowed money outstanding under our Credit Agreement. Thereafter, we are to apply any remaining portion of the proceeds, together with other funds (to the extent necessary), to (i) pay the purchase price for 2010 Senior Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, (ii) prepay in full all amounts owed in respect of the outstanding Series 2006-A Senior Notes, due April 30, 2016 and (iii) pay fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated under the 2015 Senior Note Purchase Agreement.

The Series 2015 Senior Notes will bear interest at the fixed rate of 11.0% and mature on November 5, 2022. Interest on the Series 2015 Senior Notes will be due quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2016. We may prepay the Series 2015 Senior Notes, in whole or in part (though not in an amount less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate in the case of a partial prepayment) at a prepayment price equal to (i) prior to the third anniversary of the date of the closing of the issuance and sale of the Series 2015 Senior Notes (the “Closing”), 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make-whole” prepayment amount, (ii) during the period commencing on the third anniversary of the Closing and ending on the day prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing, 104% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest, (iii) during the period commencing on the fourth anniversary of the Closing and ending on the day prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, 102% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest, (iv) during the period commencing on the fifth anniversary of the Closing and ending on the day prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing, 101% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and (v) from the sixth anniversary of Closing, 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Pursuant to the 2015 Senior Note Purchase Agreement, the Series 2015 Senior Notes will be unsecured and guaranteed by certain of our material wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries. The 2015 Senior Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants that will limit our ability and the ability of certain of our restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; incur or create liens; merge or consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets; engage in a different business; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make certain payments as set forth in the 2015 Senior Note Purchase Agreement. In addition, the 2015 Senior Note Purchase Agreement requires us to maintain certain consolidated financial ratios. The 2015 Senior Note Purchase Agreement contains customary default provisions, as well as the following cross-default provision. An event of default will occur if we or any of our restricted subsidiaries (i) fails to make any payment when due beyond any applicable grace period under any indebtedness of at least $20.0 million, (ii) defaults in the performance of or compliance with any term of any indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of at least $20.0 million or of any mortgage, indenture or other agreement relating to such indebtedness or any other condition exists, and as a result of such default or condition such indebtedness is accelerated and declared due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates for payment, or (iii) we or any of our restricted subsidiaries become obligated to purchase or repay indebtedness before its regular maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of at least $20.0 million or one or more persons have the right to require us or any of our subsidiaries to purchase or repay such indebtedness. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the 2015 Senior Note Purchase Agreement, the Series 2015 Senior Notes may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by declaration of holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Series 2015 Senior Notes at the time outstanding.

As discussed above, immediately after closing and funding of the Series 2015 Senior Notes, we are required to apply a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Series 2015 Senior Notes to repay all of the indebtedness outstanding under our Credit Agreement. In December 2015, and not later than forty-five days following the settlement of the Series 2015 Senior Notes, we are to prepay in full all amounts owed in respect of the outstanding Series 2006-A Senior Notes, due April 30, 2016, including an estimated $1.7 million "make-whole" prepayment premium in accordance with the Master Note Purchase Agreement.

On November 5, 2015, we announced the commencement of the Tender Offer to purchase for cash up to $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2010 Senior Notes. The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire immediately after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 4, 2015, unless extended by us in our sole discretion or if we terminate the Tender Offer earlier (the "Expiration Time"). The offered consideration for 2010 Senior Notes of either series to be purchased in the Tender Offer is an amount, payable in cash, equal to $100,000 per $100,000 principal amount of 2010 Senior Notes validly tendered by registered holders of 2010 Senior Notes prior to the Expiration Time, and accepted for purchase by us pursuant to the Tender Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such 2010 Senior Notes up to, but not including, the date of payment for such Notes.

Our Senior Secured Notes

On March 18, 2015, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") with Wells Fargo Energy Capital, Inc., in its capacity as noteholder representative for the noteholders (the "Noteholder Representative"), and Wells Fargo Energy Capital, Inc., in its capacity as the sole initial purchaser. The Note Purchase Agreement relates to our issuance and sale of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due April 1, 2017 (the "Senior Secured Notes"). On April 30, 2015, we completed the issuance and sale of the Senior Secured Notes in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The proceeds from these Senior Secured Notes were used to provide a portion of the funds necessary to repay the $90.0 million principal amount of the Series 2008-B Senior Notes that matured on April 30, 2015. The Senior Secured Notes are secured by our accounts receivable (excluding CCLP accounts receivable) and our common units in CCLP, and the related Note Purchase Agreement includes financial covenants consistent with those applicable to our existing bank revolving credit facility.

On November 5, 2015, we entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Note Purchase Agreement that, conditioned upon the closing and funding of the issuance of the Series 2015 Senior Notes, (i) provides for the extension of the maturity date of the Senior Secured Notes from April 1, 2017 to April 1, 2019, (ii) amends certain definitions in the Note Purchase Agreement and (iii) requires us to pay an extension fee for the ratable account of the noteholders under the Note Purchase Agreement.

The principal portion of each of the Senior Secured Notes consists of tranches that bear interest at LIBOR, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, plus an applicable margin ("LIBOR Tranches") and tranches that bear interest at the Base Rate plus an applicable margin ("Base Rate Tranches"), as we may request in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement. The initial Senior Secured Note consists of a LIBOR Tranche and the interest rate at closing and as of September 30, 2015 is 3.95% per annum. We may convert the LIBOR Tranche into a Base Rate Tranche in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants and default and cross default provisions consistent with the agreements governing our other TETRA indebtedness.
