Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement

On November 3, 2016, CSI Compressco LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) and CSI Compressco Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“CSI Compressco Sub”), as borrowers, entered into the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) amending the Credit Agreement dated August 4, 2014 (as previously amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of December 18, 2014, that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2015 and that certain Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of May 25, 2016, as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent, collateral agent, lender, letter of credit issuer and swing line issuer, and the other lenders and loan parties a party thereto. The Amendment provided for changes and modifications to the Credit Agreement as follows:

ABL Facility. The Amendment converted the existing secured revolving credit facility into an asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may not exceed a borrowing base equal to the sum of:

 

  (i)

80% of the aggregate net amount of eligible accounts receivable, plus

 

  (ii)

20% of the aggregate value of any eligible spare parts, in the event the Partnership has elected to include eligible spare parts pursuant to a notice to the administrative agent, plus

 

  (iii)

80% of the net in-place eligible compressor equipment, decreased each month by the amount of depreciation expense associated with such eligible compressor equipment, plus

 

  (iv)

80% of the cost of new eligible compressor equipment, and minus

 

  (v)

the amount of any reserves established by the administrative agent in its discretion.

In addition, the Amendment:

 

  (i)

imposed a requirement to deliver on a monthly basis (or a weekly basis in the event that Excess Availability (as defined below) is less than $30.0 million), a borrowing base certificate;

 

  (ii)

imposed a requirement to, at the expense of the Partnership, permit the performance of, on an annual basis (and at such other times may be required under the Credit Agreement), a field examination of the collateral and related reports;

 

  (iii)

imposed requirements for the loan parties to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain collateral access agreements for certain third party locations where collateral is stored and to include certain assignment language in future customer contracts for the benefit of the administrative agent and the lenders.

Under the terms of the ABL Facility, if (i) an event of default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) excess availability under the ABL Facility (based on the lesser of the aggregate commitments thereunder and the borrowing base in excess of the amount outstanding) (the “Excess Availability”) falls below $30.0 million, the Partnership and other loan parties will become subject to cash dominion provisions in the ABL Facility.
