CSI Compressco LP
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
We are a provider of compression services and equipment for natural gas and oil production, gathering, transportation, processing, and storage. We also sell standard and custom-designed compressor packages and oilfield fluid pump systems, and provide aftermarket services and compressor package parts and components manufactured by third-party suppliers. We provide these compression services and equipment to a broad base of natural gas and oil exploration and production, midstream, and transmission companies operating throughout many of the onshore producing regions of the United States as well as in a number of foreign countries, including Mexico, Canada, and Argentina. We design and fabricate a majority of our compressor packages and use these compressor packages in conjunction with other equipment and personnel from affiliated companies to provide services to our customers.
Presentation
 
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of our management, our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to provide a fair statement of our results for the interim periods. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

Results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, reflect the impact of our acquisition of Compressor Systems, Inc. ("CSI"), a Delaware corporation, on August 4 2014. For further discussion of the acquisition, see Note B - Acquisition.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in connection with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 19, 2015.

Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current year period’s presentation. The impact of such reclassifications was not significant to the prior year period’s overall presentation. These reclassifications include the final allocation of the purchase price of CSI. See Note B - Acquisitions for further discussion.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. For further discussion of fair value measurements in connection with the allocation of the purchase price of the CSI acquisition, see Note B - Acquisition. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid cash investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
Foreign Currencies
 
We have designated the Canadian dollar and Argentine peso as the functional currencies for our operations in Canada and Argentina, respectively. We are exposed to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and certain foreign

6



currencies, including the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, and the Argentine peso, as a result of our international operations. Foreign currency exchange gains and (losses) are included in Other Expense and totaled $1.2 million and $1.7 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $0.0 million and $(0.7) million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of compressor package parts and supplies and work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. For parts and supplies, cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of work in progress is determined using the specific identification method. Significant components of inventories as of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, are as follows:

Compression and Related Services Revenues and Costs

Our compression and related services revenues include revenues from our U.S. corporate subsidiaries' operating lease agreements with customers. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the following operating lease revenues and associated costs were included in compression and related service revenues and cost of compression and related services, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings Per Common and Subordinated Unit
 
The computations of earnings per common and subordinated unit are based on the weighted average number of common and subordinated units, respectively, outstanding during the applicable period. Our subordinated units met the definition of a participating security, and, therefore, we are required to use the two-class method in the computation of earnings per unit. Effective August 18, 2014, all of our 6,273,970 subordinated units were automatically converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. Basic earnings per common and subordinated unit are determined by dividing net income (loss) allocated to the common units and subordinated units, respectively, after deducting the amount allocated to our General Partner (including any distributions to our General Partner on its incentive distribution rights), by the weighted average number of outstanding common and subordinated units, respectively, during the period.
 
When computing earnings per common and subordinated unit under the two-class method when distributions are greater than earnings, the amount of the distribution is deducted from net income and allocated to our General Partner (including incentive distribution rights, if any) for the period to which the calculation relates. The excess of distributions over earnings is allocated between the General Partner, common, and subordinated units based on how our partnership agreement allocates net losses.
 
When earnings are greater than distributions, we determine cash distributions based on available cash and determine the actual incentive distributions allocable to our General Partner based on actual distributions. When

7



computing earnings per common and subordinated unit, the amount of the assumed incentive distribution rights, if any, is deducted from net income and allocated to our General Partner for the period to which the calculation relates. The remaining amount of net income, after deducting the assumed incentive distribution rights, is allocated between the General Partner, common and subordinated units based on how our Partnership Agreement allocates net earnings.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common and subordinated units outstanding to the number of common and subordinated units used in the computations of net income (loss) per common and subordinated unit.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the average diluted units outstanding excludes the impact of all of the outstanding restricted unit awards, as the inclusion of these units would have been antidilutive.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
 
Certain of our international operations maintain their accounting records in the local currencies that are their functional currencies. For these operations, the functional currency financial statements are converted to United States dollar equivalents, with the effect of the foreign currency translation adjustment reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income is included in partners’ capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consists of the cumulative currency translation adjustments associated with such international operations. Activity within accumulated other comprehensive income during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, is as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that may differ from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may be needed to measure fair value in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which could include the reporting entity’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability.
We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements are utilized in the allocation of purchase consideration for acquisition transactions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets and goodwill (a level 3 fair value measurement). Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill (a level 3 fair value measurement). The fair value of our financial instruments, which may include cash, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, and variable-rate long-term debt pursuant to our bank credit agreement, approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values of our long-term 7.25% Senior Notes at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, were approximately $336.9 million (a level 2 fair value measurement) and $354.9 million, respectively, compared to an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, as current rates on those dates were different from the stated interest rates on the 7.25% Senior Notes. We calculate the fair value of our 7.25% Senior Notes as of December 31, 2014 internally, using current market conditions and average cost of debt (a level 2 fair value measurement).
We also utilize fair value measurements on a recurring basis in the accounting for our foreign currency forward purchase and sale derivative contracts. For these fair value measurements, we utilize the quoted value as determined by our counterparty financial institution (a level 2 fair value measurement). A summary of these fair value measurements as of June 30, 2015 is as follows:

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for our first quarter in fiscal 2017, pending a one year deferral currently under consideration by the FASB, under either full or modified retrospective adoption. Early application is not permitted. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to approve a one year deferral of the ASU which would make it effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern” (Topic 250). The ASU provides guidance on management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and in certain circumstances to provide related footnote disclosures. The ASU is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statements - Extraordinary and Unusual Items” (Sub-Topic 225-20), which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The ASU eliminates the separate presentation of extraordinary items on the income statement, net of tax and the related earnings per share, but does not affect the requirement to disclose material items that are unusual in nature or occurring infrequently. The ASU is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The ASU requires entities that have historically presented debt issuance costs as an asset to present those costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. This presentation will result in the debt issuance costs being presented the same way debt discounts have historically been handled. The ASU does not change the recognition, measurement, or subsequent measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. The ASU is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this change retrospectively, and do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE B – ACQUISITION

Acquisition of Compressor Systems, Inc.

On August 4, 2014, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated July 20, 2014, one of our subsidiaries acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of CSI for $825.0 million cash (the "CSI Acquisition"). Prior to the acquisition, CSI owned one of the largest fleets of natural gas compressor packages in the United States. Headquartered in Midland, Texas, CSI fabricates, sells, and maintains natural gas compressors and provides a full range of compression products and services that covers compression needs throughout the entire natural gas production and transportation cycle to natural gas and oil producing clients. CSI derives revenues through three primary business lines: compression and related services, equipment and parts sales, and aftermarket services. Strategically, the acquisition affords us the opportunity to capture significant synergies associated with our product and service offerings and our fabrication operations, further penetrate new and existing markets, and to achieve administrative efficiencies and other strategic benefits.

Our allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the CSI net assets is as follows (in thousands):
Current assets
$
101,411

Property and equipment
571,706

Intangible assets
68,000

Goodwill
161,387

Total assets acquired
902,504


 
Current liabilities
77,504

Total liabilities assumed
77,504

Net assets acquired
$
825,000

The allocation of purchase price includes approximately $161.4 million allocated to deductible goodwill recorded, and is supported by the strategic benefits discussed above that are expected to be generated from the acquisition. Adjustments to the allocation of purchase price affecting inventory, property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and other current assets and liabilities have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The adjustment to the previously presented goodwill balance as of December 31, 2014 was $0.1 million. These adjustments to the allocation of purchase price for long-lived assets did not have a material impact on the depreciation and amortization of these assets. The acquired property, plant, and equipment is stated at fair value, and depreciation on the acquired property, plant, and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset. Buildings are depreciated using useful lives of 15 to 30 years. Machinery and equipment is depreciated using useful lives of 2 to 16 years. Automobiles and trucks are depreciated using useful lives of 3 to 4 years. The acquired intangible assets represents approximately $33.7 million for trademarks/trade names, approximately $21.4 million for customer relationships, and approximately $12.9 million for other intangible assets that are stated at estimated fair value and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 15 years. These intangible assets are recorded net of approximately $9.7 million of accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2015.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2015, our revenues, depreciation and amortization, and pretax earnings, excluding $8.0 million of allocated interest and administrative expense, included $96.3 million, $16.5 million, and $6.7 million, respectively, associated with the CSI Acquisition. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, our revenues, depreciation and amortization, and pretax earnings, excluding $15.8 million of allocated interest and administrative expense, included $167.5 million, $32.4 million, and $13.6 million, respectively, associated with the CSI Acquisition. Approximately $16.6 million of deferred financing costs were incurred in connection with the acquisition and included in Other Assets as of the acquisition date, and will be amortized over the term of the related debt. An additional $6.7 million of interim financing costs related to the acquisition were incurred and reflected in other expense during the year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTE D – MARKET RISKS AND DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS
 
We are exposed to financial and market risks that affect our business. We have currency exchange rate risk exposure related to transactions denominated in a foreign currency as well as to investments in certain of our international operations. As a result of our variable rate bank credit facility, we face market risk exposure related to changes in applicable interest rates. We have concentrations of credit risk as a result of trade receivables owed to us by companies in the energy industry. Our financial risk management activities may at times involve, among other measures, the use of derivative financial instruments, such as swap and collar agreements, to hedge the impact of market price risk exposures. We formally document our risk management objectives and our strategies for undertaking various derivative transactions.

Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts
 
As of June 30, 2015, we had the following foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding relating to a portion of our foreign operations:

Under a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected transactions of certain foreign subsidiaries, we may enter into similar derivative contracts from time to time. Although contracts pursuant to this program will serve as an economic hedge of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they will not be formally designated as hedge contracts or qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any change in the fair value of these derivative instruments during a period will be included in the determination of earnings for that period.

The fair values of our foreign currency derivative instruments are based on quoted market values as reported to us by our counterparty (a level 2 fair value measurement). The fair values of our foreign currency derivative instruments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, are as follows:

None of the foreign currency derivative contracts contains credit risk related contingent features that would require us to post assets or collateral for contracts that are classified as liabilities. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, we recognized approximately $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of net gains associated with our foreign currency derivative program, and such amount is included in other expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE E – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Set forth below is a description of one of the agreements we entered into with related parties.
 
Omnibus Agreement
 
On June 20, 2014, CSI Compressco LP (the "Partnership"), CSI Compressco GP Inc. (the "General Partner") and TETRA Technologies, Inc. ("TETRA") entered into a First Amendment to Omnibus Agreement (the "First Amendment"). The First Amendment amended the Omnibus Agreement previously entered into on June 20, 2011 (as amended, the "Omnibus Agreement") to extend the term thereof. The Omnibus Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) a change of control of the General Partner or TETRA, or (ii) upon any party providing at least 180 days' prior written notice of termination.

13



 
Under the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, our General Partner provides all personnel and services reasonably necessary to manage our operations and conduct our business (other than in Mexico, Canada, and Argentina), and certain of TETRA’s Latin American-based subsidiaries provide personnel and services necessary for the conduct of certain of our Latin American-based businesses. In addition, under the Omnibus Agreement, TETRA provides certain corporate and general and administrative services as requested by our General Partner, including, without limitation, legal, accounting and financial reporting, treasury, insurance administration, claims processing and risk management, health, safety and environmental, information technology, human resources, credit, payroll, internal audit, and tax services. Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, we reimburse our General Partner and TETRA for services they provide to us.

Under the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, we or TETRA may, but neither of us are under any obligation to, perform for the other such production enhancement or other oilfield services on a subcontract basis as are needed or desired by the other, for such periods of time and in such amounts as may be mutually agreed upon by TETRA and our General Partner. Any such services are required to be performed on terms that are (i) approved by the conflicts committee of our General Partner’s board of directors, (ii) no less favorable to us than those generally being provided to or available from non-affiliated third parties, as determined by our General Partner, or (iii) fair and reasonable to us, taking into account the totality of the relationships between TETRA and us (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to us), as determined by our General Partner.
 
Under the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, we or TETRA may, but neither of us are under any obligation to, sell, lease or exchange on a like-kind basis to the other such production enhancement or other oilfield services equipment as is needed or desired to meet either of our production enhancement or other oilfield services obligations, in such amounts, upon such conditions and for such periods of time, if applicable, as may be mutually agreed upon by TETRA and our General Partner. Any such sales, leases, or like-kind exchanges are required to be on terms that are (i) approved by the conflicts committee of our General Partner’s board of directors, (ii) no less favorable to us than those generally being provided to or available from non-affiliated third parties, as determined by our General Partner, or (iii) fair and reasonable to us, taking into account the totality of the relationships between TETRA and us (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to us), as determined by our General Partner. In addition, unless otherwise approved by the conflicts committee of our General Partner’s board of directors, TETRA may purchase newly fabricated equipment from us at a negotiated price, provided that such price may not be less than the sum of the total costs (other than any allocations of general and administrative expenses) incurred by us in fabricating such equipment plus a fixed margin percentage thereof, and TETRA may purchase from us previously fabricated equipment for a price that is not less than the sum of the net book value of such equipment plus a fixed margin percentage thereof.

This description is not a complete discussion of this agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the complete agreement, which is filed, along with other agreements, as exhibits to our filings with the SEC.

TETRA and General Partner Ownership

To finance a portion of the $825.0 million CSI Acquisition purchase price, we issued and sold 15,280,000 additional common units for net proceeds of $346.0 million (the "Common Unit Offering"). TETRA, through a subsidiary of our General Partner, purchased 1,390,290 of these common units for approximately $32.7 million. In addition, in connection with our Common Unit Offering, our General Partner made a $7.3 million capital contribution to us in order to maintain its approximate 2% general partnership interest in us. Following the August 11, 2014, exercise by the underwriters in the Common Unit Offering of their option to purchase 2,292,000 additional common units, our General Partner made an additional $1.1 million capital contribution in order to maintain its approximate 2% general partnership interest in us.

Prior to the Common Unit Offering and other transactions described above, TETRA's ownership in us was approximately 82% through its aggregate ownership of common units, subordinated units, and indirect general partner interest. Common units held by the public represented an approximately 18% ownership in us prior to the above transactions. However, following the CSI Acquisition, the completion of our Common Unit Offering, and the underwriters' exercise of their option to purchase additional common units, TETRA's ownership interest in us was reduced to approximately 44%, with the common units held by the public representing an approximate 56% interest in us. TETRA's ownership is through various wholly owned subsidiaries and consists of approximately 42% of the

14



limited partner interests plus the approximately 2% general partner interest, through which it holds incentive distribution rights.

NOTE F – INCOME TAXES
 
As a partnership, we are generally not subject to income taxes at the entity level because our income is included in the tax returns of our partners. Our operations are treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes with each partner being separately taxed on its share of taxable income. However, a portion of our business is conducted through taxable U.S. corporate subsidiaries. Accordingly, a U.S. federal and state income tax provision has been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. We have a tax sharing agreement with TETRA with respect to the Texas franchise tax liability. The resulting state tax expense is included in the provision for income taxes. Certain of our operations are located outside of the U.S., and the Partnership, through its foreign subsidiaries, is responsible for income taxes in these countries.

In connection with the CSI Acquisition, we and the seller of CSI made a joint Section 338(h) (10) election under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code to treat the purchase of CSI as an asset acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no U.S. federal deferred tax assets or liabilities were recorded as part of the acquisition.
 
NOTE G – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. While the outcome of any lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 

NOTE H – SEGMENTS

ASC 280-10-50, “Operating Segments”, defines the characteristics of an operating segment as (i) being engaged in business activity from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, (ii) being reviewed by the company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess its performance, and (iii) having discrete financial information. Although management of our General Partner reviews our products and services to analyze the nature of our revenue, other financial information, such as certain costs and expenses, net income, and EBITDA, are not captured or analyzed by these items. Therefore discrete financial information is not available by product line and our CODM does not make resource allocation decisions or assess the performance of the business based on these items, but rather in the aggregate. Based on this, our General Partner believes that we operate in one business segment. 

NOTE I — SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
    
The $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Senior Notes (the "7.25% Senior Notes") are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain customary release provisions, on a joint and several senior unsecured basis, by the following domestic restricted subsidiaries (each a "Guarantor Subsidiary" and collectively the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, the following discussion and analysis also should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2015. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties.
 
Business Overview

The CSI Acquisition, which closed on August 4, 2014, significantly impacted our revenues, results of operations, and operating cash flow during the three month period ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding prior year period. Revenues generated by CSI during the second quarter of 2015 totaled approximately $96.3 million, increasing consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2015 to $126.5 million, compared to $32.1 million during the second quarter of 2014. CSI revenues during the second quarter of 2015 included approximately $43.3 million of compression and $4.7 million of aftermarket services revenues, primarily in the U.S., and approximately $48.3 million of equipment and parts sales revenues. Due to decreased oil and natural gas prices during the current year period compared to the corresponding prior year period, there has been a reduction in demand for production enhancement compression services, including in liquids-rich resource plays and vapor recovery applications. Despite this decreased demand, our pre-CSI Acquisition compression service revenues remained relatively consistent during the three month period ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding prior year period, decreasing by approximately $0.5 million. We expect that oil and gas exploration activity levels will continue to be decreased during the remainder of 2015 compared to 2014, while most ongoing customer projects supporting gas gathering, midstream, and processing will proceed to completion. Much of our current equipment sales fabrication backlog is associated with such customer projects. Our equipment sales fabrication backlog decreased as of June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014, as completed equipment sales during the first half of 2015 exceeded new equipment sales orders. However, the level of sales orders and completed sales both increased during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Although our compressor fleet horsepower utilization rate has decreased as of the end of each of the past two quarters, we feel the diversity of our compressor package fleet and the existing levels of natural gas production will continue to support the demand for our compressor packages and services, despite current prices for oil and natural gas.
Including the increased horsepower (HP) added from the CSI Acquisition, our total HP offering has increased from approximately 187,000 prior to the acquisition to over 1,139,000 as of June 30, 2015, and this increase allows us to utilize a wide range of compressor packages (from 20 HP to 2,370 HP) to provide compression services to customers. The CSI Acquisition dramatically expanded our service and equipment sales offerings in the over-100 HP compression services market, complementing our existing strong presence in the below-100 HP compression services market. Strategically, the acquisition afforded us the opportunity to capture significant synergies associated with our service and product offerings and our fabrication operations, to further expand into new and existing markets, and to achieve administrative efficiencies and other strategic benefits.
The continued growth of our operations is particularly dependent upon our continued capital expenditure program. Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2015 totaled $57.1 million and we anticipate that our total capital expenditures during all of 2015 will be approximately $105 million, including approximately $14 million of maintenance capital expenditures. We plan to fund this continuing investment through our Credit Agreement, undistributed operating cash flows, and potentially other sources, if necessary.

How We Evaluate Our Operations
 
Operating Expenses. We use operating expenses as a performance measure for our business. We track our operating expenses using month-to-month, year-to-date, and year-to-year comparisons and as compared to budget. This analysis is useful in identifying adverse cost trends and allows us to investigate the cause of these trends and implement remedial measures, if possible. The most significant portions of our operating expenses are for our field labor, repair and maintenance of our equipment, and for the fuel and other supplies consumed while providing our services. Other materials consumed while performing our services, ad valorem taxes, other labor costs, truck maintenance, rent on storage facilities, and insurance expenses comprise the significant remainder of our operating expenses. Our operating expenses generally fluctuate with our level of activity.


24



Our labor costs consist primarily of wages and benefits for our field and fabrication personnel, as well as expenses related to their training and safety. Additional information regarding our operating expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2015, is provided within the Results of Operations sections below.
 
EBITDA. We view EBITDA as one of our primary management tools and we track it on a monthly basis, both in dollars and as a percentage of revenues (compared to the prior month, prior year period, and to budget). We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, including investors, to:
assess our ability to generate available cash sufficient to make distributions to our unitholders and General Partner;
evaluate the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;
measure operating performance and return on capital as compared to our competitors; and
determine our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.
 
EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Our EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled financial metrics of other entities, as other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do. Management compensates for the limitations of EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures, and incorporating this knowledge into management’s decision-making processes. EBITDA should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount we have available for distributions or that we plan to distribute for a given period, nor should it be equated with “available cash” as defined in our partnership agreement.

Horsepower Utilization Rate of our Compressor Packages. We measure the horsepower utilization rate of our fleet of compressor packages as the amount of horsepower of compressor packages used to provide services as of a particular date, divided by the amount of horsepower of compressor packages in our fleet as of such date. Management primarily uses this metric to determine our future need for additional compressor packages and to measure marketing effectiveness.
 
The following table sets forth our total horsepower in our fleet and our total horsepower in service as of the dates shown.

Net Increases in Compression Fleet Horsepower. We measure the net increase in our compression fleet horsepower during a given period of time by taking the difference between the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages added to the fleet during the period, less the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages removed from the fleet during the period. We measure the net increase in our compression fleet horsepower in service during a given period of time by taking the difference between the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages placed into service during the period, less the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages removed from service during the period. Management uses these metrics to evaluate our operating performance and our relative size in the market.
Manufacturing and Backlog. Our equipment and parts sales business includes the fabrication and sale of standard compressor packages, custom-designed compressor packages, and oilfield fluid pump systems designed and fabricated primarily at our facilities in Midland, Texas and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The equipment is fabricated to applicable customer and standard specifications. Our custom fabrication projects are typically greater in size and scope than standard fabrication projects, requiring more labor, materials, and overhead resources. Our fabrication business requires diligent planning of those resources and project and backlog management in order to meet the customer delivery dates and performance criteria. As of June 30, 2015, our fabrication backlog was approximately $86.9 million, of which approximately $67.1 million is expected to be recognized through the year ended December 31, 2015, based on title passing to the customer, the customer assuming the risks of ownership, reasonable assurance of collectability, and delivery occurring as directed by our customer. Our fabrication backlog consists of firm customer orders for which a purchase or work order has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exists, and delivery has been scheduled. Our fabrication backlog is a measure of marketing effectiveness that allows us to plan future labor needs and measure our success in winning bids from our customers.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes or developments in the evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies pertaining to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, except as described below. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported. We periodically evaluate these estimates and judgments, including those related to potential impairments of long-lived assets (including goodwill), the useful life of long-lived assets, the collectability of accounts receivable, and the allocation of acquisition purchase price. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on future expectations that we believe are reasonable. The fair values of a large portion of our total assets and liabilities are measured using significant unobservable inputs. The combination of these factors forms the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These judgments and estimates may change as new events occur, as new information is acquired, and as changes in our operating environments are encountered. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates, and those differences may be material.


26



Impairment of Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired in purchase transactions. We perform a goodwill impairment test on an annual basis or whenever indicators of impairment are present. We perform the annual test of goodwill impairment following the fourth quarter of each year, and determined that no impairment of goodwill was required as of December 31, 2014. Our annual assessment for goodwill impairment begins with a qualitative assessment of whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of our business is less than its carrying value. This qualitative assessment requires the evaluation, based on the weight of evidence, of the significance of all identified events and circumstances. Based on this qualitative assessment, we determined that due to the decrease in the market price of our common units that resulted in our market capitalization being less than the book value of our consolidated partners' capital as of December 31, 2014, it was “more likely than not” that the fair value of our business was less than its carrying value as of December 31, 2014.

When the qualitative analysis indicates that it is “more likely than not” that our business’ fair value is less than its carrying value, the resulting goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step accounting test being performed. The first step of the impairment test is to compare the estimated fair value with the recorded net book value (including goodwill) of our business. If the estimated fair value is higher than the recorded net book value, no impairment is deemed to exist and no further testing is required. If, however, the estimated fair value is below the recorded net book value, then a second step must be performed to determine the goodwill impairment required, if any. In this second step, the estimated fair value from the first step is used as the purchase price in a hypothetical acquisition. Purchase business combination accounting rules are followed to determine a hypothetical purchase price allocation to assets and liabilities. The residual amount of goodwill that results from this hypothetical purchase price allocation is compared to the recorded amount of goodwill, and the recorded amount is written down to the hypothetical amount, if lower. Our estimates of our fair value, if required, are based on a combination of an income approach and a market approach. These estimates are imprecise and subject to our estimates of the future cash flows of our business and our judgment as to how these estimated cash flows translate into our business’ estimated fair value. These estimates and judgments are affected by numerous factors, including the general economic environment at the time of our assessment, which affects our overall market capitalization. If we overestimate the fair value of our business, the balance of our goodwill asset may be overstated. Alternatively, if our estimated fair values are understated, an impairment might be recognized unnecessarily or in excess of the appropriate amount.

During the first half of 2015, global oil and natural gas commodity prices, particularly crude oil, were significantly decreased compared to early 2014. This decrease in commodity prices has had, and is expected to continue to have, a negative impact on industry drilling and capital expenditure activity, which affects the demand for a portion of our products and services. The accompanying decrease in the price of our common units during the last half of 2014 caused an overall reduction in our market capitalization. Although the price of our common units increased as of June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014, and our market capitalization exceeds our recorded net book value, uncertain market conditions resulting from current oil and natural gas prices continue. We have updated our internal business outlook to consider the current global economic environment that affects our operations. As part of the first step of goodwill impairment testing, we updated our assessment of our future cash flows, applying expected long-term growth rates, discount rates, and terminal values that we consider reasonable. We have calculated a present value of the cash flows to arrive at an estimate of fair value under the income approach, and then used the market approach to corroborate this value. As a result of these estimates, we determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2014 or June 30, 2015. However, because our estimated fair value exceeded our carrying value by approximately 10%, there is a reasonable possibility that the $233.4 million of goodwill may be impaired in a future period resulting in a non-cash charge to earnings, and the amount of such impairment may be material. Specific uncertainties affecting our estimated fair value include the impact of competition, the prices of oil and natural gas, future overall activity levels in the regions in which we operate, the activity levels of our significant customers, and other factors affecting the rate of our future growth. These factors will continue to be reviewed and assessed going forward. Adverse developments with regard to these factors could have a further negative effect on our fair value.

Revenues
 
Revenues during the second quarter of 2015 significantly increased compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the acquired operations of CSI, which generated aggregate revenues of approximately $96.3 million during the second quarter of 2015. Compression and related services revenues increased by $42.8 million, due to approximately $43.3 million of compression and related services revenues generated by CSI. Service revenues from pre-CSI Acquisition operations decreased approximately $0.5 million, due in part to a significant decrease in oil and natural gas prices compared to the prior year period. Decreased commodity prices have adversely impacted the demand for production enhancement compression services applications, including for liquids-rich resource plays and vapor recovery applications. An additional $4.7 million of aftermarket services revenues were also realized as a result of the CSI Acquisition. Demand for compression and related services in the U.S. has been driven by the significant investments made in recent years related to increased exploration and production of oil and natural gas and the related infrastructure, including midstream gas transmission, gathering, processing, vapor recovery, and wellhead compression. We have continued to increase the overall size of our compressor package service fleet, particularly our mid- and high-horsepower fleet, both in the U.S. and certain foreign markets, to serve the current levels of demand for services.

In addition to the increase in consolidated compression and related services and aftermarket services revenues, there was an increase of approximately $46.9 million in revenues from the sales of equipment and parts during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the prior year period. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of CSI, which generated equipment and parts sales revenues of $48.3 million during the current year period. This increase was partially offset by decreased equipment and parts sales from our non-CSI operations. The level of revenues from equipment and parts sales is volatile and typically difficult to forecast, as these revenues are

28



tied to specific projects that vary in scope, design, complexity, and customer needs. In comparison, our revenues from compression and related services and aftermarket services are typically more consistent and predictable.

Cost of revenues
 
The increase in cost of compression and related services revenues during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the impact of the CSI Acquisition, which generated approximately $21.2 million of cost during the second quarter of 2015. Cost of compression and related services as a percentage of compression and related services revenues was 51.5% during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to 54.0% from the prior year period. CSI cost of compression services as a percentage of compression services revenues was 48.8% during the current year period. We are continuing to capture additional synergies anticipated as part of the integration of CSI's operations. These efforts will continue going forward, and are expected to result in increased cost and income tax efficiencies in future periods.

Cost of equipment and parts sales increased compared to the prior year due to the increased sales, primarily related to the CSI Acquisition, discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative expense
 
Selling, general and administrative expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to approximately $5.0 million of added administrative personnel and facility costs from the CSI Acquisition. Also, selling, general and administrative costs increased approximately $1.0 million as a result of increased allocated costs from TETRA pursuant to our Omnibus Agreement as a result of increased administrative requirements resulting from the CSI Acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses were also increased compared to the prior year period due to $0.2 million of increased professional fees, primarily associated with audit, tax, and legal expenses. Professional fee expenses during the second quarter of 2015 decreased approximately $0.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2015, as these costs are typically highest during the first quarter of each year due to year end reporting requirements. These increases were partially mitigated by administrative cost reductions and integration efficiencies achieved. The ongoing efforts to integrate the administrative functions of CSI are expected to result in further efficiencies going forward. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased significantly compared to the prior year period, reflecting the increased efficiency of our expanded operations.
 
Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists of the depreciation of compressor packages in our service fleet. In addition, it includes the depreciation of other operating equipment and facilities. Depreciation and amortization expense increased compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of approximately $16.5 million of depreciation and amortization from the CSI Acquisition, and includes the impact of the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of CSI's property, plant, and equipment and identified intangible assets.

Interest expense
 
Interest expense increased compared to the prior year period due to increased borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the issuance of the 7.25% Senior Notes in connection with the CSI Acquisition. As of June 30, 2015, our total outstanding borrowing under our Credit Agreement was $233.0 million. Interest expense is expected to continue to be increased compared to the periods prior to the CSI Acquisition as a result of the borrowings associated with the CSI Acquisition and with the financing of capital expenditures.
 
Other expense, net
 
Other expense, net, was $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2015 compared to $0.5 million of expense during the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to approximately $0.3 million of financing cost amortization during the current year period, and approximately $0.4 million of increased foreign currency losses compared to the prior year period.

Provision for income taxes
 
Our U.S. operations are not subject to U.S. federal income tax other than with respect to the operations that are conducted through our taxable U.S. corporate subsidiaries. We also incur state and local income taxes in certain states, and we incur income taxes related to our foreign operations in the foreign countries in which we operate.

Revenues
 
Revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2015 significantly increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to the acquired operations of CSI, which generated aggregate revenues of approximately $167.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Approximately $87.8 million of the $90.1 million increase in compression and related services revenues were generated by CSI. In addition, service revenues from pre-CSI Acquisition operations increased approximately $2.4 million. Decreased oil and natural gas commodity prices have adversely impacted the demand for production enhancement compression services applications, includng for liquids-rich resource plays and vapor recovery applications. An additional $14.1 million of aftermarket services revenues were also added as a result of the CSI Acquisition. Demand for compression and related services in the U.S. has been driven by the significant investments made in recent years related to increased exploration and production of oil and natural gas and the related infrastructure, including midstream gas transmission, gathering, processing, vapor recovery, and wellhead compression. We have continued to increase the overall size of our compressor package service fleet, particularly our mid- and high-horsepower fleet, both in the U.S. and certain foreign markets, to serve the current levels of demand for services.

In addition to the increase in consolidated compression and related services and aftermarket services revenues, there was an increase of approximately $63.2 million in revenues from the sales of equipment and parts during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the prior year period. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of CSI which generated equipment and parts sales revenues of $65.7 million during the current year period. This increase was partially offset by decreased equipment and parts sales from our non-CSI operations.     

Cost of revenues
 
The increase in cost of compression and related services revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the impact of the CSI Acquisition, which generated approximately $41.3 million of cost during the six months ended 2015. Cost of compression and related services as a percentage of compression and related services revenues was 50.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 54.1% from the prior year period. CSI cost of compression services as a percentage of compression services revenues was 47.1% during the current year period. We are continuing to capture additional synergies anticipated as part of the integration of CSI's operations. These efforts will continue going forward, and are expected to result in increased cost efficiencies in future periods.

Cost of equipment and parts sales increased compared to the prior year period due to the increased sales, primarily related to the CSI Acquisition, discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative expense
 
Selling, general and administrative expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to approximately $10.8 million of added administrative personnel and facility costs from the CSI Acquisition. Also, selling, general and administrative costs increased approximately $1.8 million compared to the prior year period as a result of increased allocated costs from TETRA pursuant to our Omnibus Agreement as a result of increased administrative requirements resulting from the CSI Acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses were also increased due to $1.1 million of increased professional fees, primarily associated with audit, tax, and legal expenses associated with year end reporting. Such costs are typically highest during the first quarter of each year. These increases were partially mitigated by administrative cost reductions and integration efficiencies achieved. The ongoing efforts to integrate the administrative functions of CSI are expected to result in further efficiencies going forward. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased significantly compared to the prior year period, reflecting the increased efficiency of our expanded operations.
 
Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists of the depreciation of compressor packages in our service fleet. In addition, it includes the depreciation of other operating equipment and facilities. Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $32.4 million due to depreciation and amortization from the CSI Acquisition, and includes the impact of the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of CSI's property, plant, and equipment and identified intangible assets.

Interest expense
 
Interest expense increased due to increased borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the issuance of the 7.25% Senior Notes in connection with the CSI Acquisition. As of June 30, 2015, our total outstanding borrowing under our Credit Agreement was $233.0 million. Interest expense is expected to continue to be increased compared to the periods prior to the CSI Acquisition as a result of the borrowings associated with the CSI Acquisition and the financing of capital expenditures.
 
Other expense, net
 
Other expense, net, was $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $1.0 million of expense during the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to approximately $1.3 million of financing cost amortization during the current year period and approximately $0.1 million of increased foreign currency losses compared to the prior year period.

Provision for income taxes
 
Our U.S. operations are not subject to U.S. federal income tax other than with respect to the operations that are conducted through our taxable U.S. corporate subsidiaries. We also incur state and local income taxes in certain states, and we incur income taxes related to our foreign operations in the foreign countries in which we operate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary cash requirements are for distributions, working capital requirements, normal operating expenses, and capital expenditures. Our sources of funds are our existing cash balances, cash generated from our operations, long-term and short-term borrowings, and operating leases, which we believe will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements. Increasingly competitive market environments, along with the continuation of decreased oil and natural gas prices experienced beginning in late 2014, have resulted in additional challenges in many of our domestic and international business regions. We reported significantly increased revenues and gross profit as a result of the acquisition of CSI. Despite the growth in revenues and gross profit, we continue to experience decreased activity from project delays by certain customers as a result of the oil and natural gas price declines that began in 2014.

Our cash flows from operating activities increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015, when compared to the corresponding prior year period, by $31.2 million, primarily as a result of the increased operations following the CSI Acquisition. Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015, increased $44.9 million when compared to the same period in 2014, reflecting the increased capital expenditures stemming from expanded operations subsequent to the CSI Acquisition. Cash flows provided by financing activities was $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to cash flows used by financing activities of $6.9 million in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the proceeds from increased borrowings. Our sources and uses of cash during the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

As a result of the transactions undertaken to finance the CSI Acquisition in 2014, our consolidated capital structure significantly changed. We believe that we have sufficient liquid assets, cash flow from operations, and other capital resources to meet our financial commitments, debt service obligations, and anticipated capital expenditures. We expect to fund any future acquisitions and capital expenditures with cash flow generated from our expanded operations, funds borrowed under our Credit Agreement and funds received from the issuance of additional debt and equity. However, we are subject to business and operational risks that could materially adversely affect our cash flows. Please read Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
Continued growth in our operations, both internationally and in the U.S, will require ongoing significant capital expenditure investment. We anticipate that our total capital expenditures during 2015 will be approximately $105 million, including approximately $14 million of maintenance capital expenditures. Continued growth or expansion of our operations or increased working capital requirements could result in the need for additional borrowings or equity offerings.
 
Our capital expenditure program consists of both expansion capital expenditures and maintenance capital expenditures. Expansion capital expenditures consist of expenditures for acquisitions or capital improvements that increase our capacity, either by fabricating new compressor packages to expand our compressor fleet, purchasing support equipment or other assets, or through the upgrading of existing compressor packages to increase their capabilities. Expansion capital expenditures generally result in our ability to generate increased revenues. Maintenance capital expenditures consist of expenditures to maintain our compressor package fleet or support equipment without increasing its capacity. Maintenance capital expenditures are intended to maintain or sustain the

32



current level of operating capacity and include the maintenance of existing assets and the replacement of obsolete assets.    

On July 20, 2015, the board of directors of our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2015 of $0.50 per unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $2.00 per outstanding common unit on an annualized basis. This quarterly cash distribution is to be paid on August 14, 2015 to all common unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2015. The amount to be distributed on August 14, 2015, will also include the impact of incentive distribution rights of our General Partner, for amounts distributed in excess of $0.445625 per common unit.

Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash from operating activities increased by $31.2 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2015 to $52.2 million compared to $21.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. Cash provided from operating activities increased during the first six months of 2015 as a result of increased operations following the CSI Acquisition.

Cash provided from our foreign operations is subject to various uncertainties, including the volatility associated with interruptions caused by customer budgetary decisions, uncertainties regarding the renewal of our existing customer contracts, and other changes in contract arrangements, security concerns, the timing of collection of our receivables, and the repatriation of cash generated by our operations.

Investing Activities
 
Capital expenditures during the six month period ended June 30, 2015 increased by $46.2 million compared to the corresponding prior year period, reflecting the impact of our expanded operations subsequent to the CSI Acquisition. The capital expenditure requirements of CSI are significantly increased compared to our pre-CSI Acquisition operations, due to the size and scope of the operations of CSI and the significantly higher horsepower of CSI compressor packages. Total capital expenditures during the current year period of $57.1 million include $4.2 million of maintenance capital expenditures. Our expansion capital programs for 2015 are focused on increasing our fleet to meet customer needs, and we currently plan to spend up to approximately $105 million on capital expenditures during all of 2015 including approximately $14 million of estimated maintenance capital expenditures.

Financing Activities
 
Our partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all of our available cash to our unitholders of record on the applicable record date and to our General Partner. During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, we distributed approximately $33.7 million to our unitholders and General Partner. On July 20, 2015, the board of directors of our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2015 of $0.500 per unit. This cash distribution is to be paid on August 14, 2015 to all unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2015.

7.25% Senior Notes

In August 2014, we and one of our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, CSI Compressco Finance Inc., a Delaware corporation (we, together with CSI Compressco Finance Inc., the "Issuers"), issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 7.25% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "7.25% Senior Notes") in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated July 29, 2014. The CCLP Senior Notes were subsequently registered through a public exchange offer that closed on July 20, 2015.

The obligations under the 7.25% Senior Notes are jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than CSI Compressco Finance) that guarantee our other indebtedness (the "Guarantors" and together with the Issuers, the "Obligors"). The 7.25% Senior Notes and the subsidiary guarantees thereof (together, the "Securities") were issued pursuant to an indenture described below.

The Obligors issued the Securities pursuant to the Indenture dated as of August 4, 2014 (the "Indenture") by and among the Obligors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The 7.25% Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum. Interest on the 7.25% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning February 15, 2015. The 7.25% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on August 15, 2022.

The Indenture contains customary covenants restricting our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends and make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; (ii) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; (iii) create certain liens; (iv) sell assets; (v) merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our or their assets; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) designate our or their subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries under the Indenture. 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 7.25% Senior Notes then outstanding may declare all amounts owing under the 7.25% Senior Notes to be due and payable. We are in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the Indenture as of June 30, 2015.

Bank Credit Facilities

Under the Credit Agreement, we and our CSI Compressco Sub, Inc. subsidiary are named as the borrowers and all obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of our existing and future, direct and indirect, domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than domestic subsidiaries that are wholly owned by foreign subsidiaries). The Credit Agreement includes a maximum credit commitment of $400.0 million, and included within such amount is availability for letters of credit (with a sublimit of $20.0 million) and swingline loans (with a sublimit of $60.0 million). As of August 11, 2015, we have a balance outstanding under the Credit Agreement of $233.0 million, and $6.1 million letters of credit and performance bonds outstanding, leaving availability under the Credit Agreement of $160.9 million.

The Credit Agreement is available to provide our working capital needs, letters of credit, and for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures and potential future expansions or acquisitions. So long as we are not in default, the Credit Agreement can also be used to fund our quarterly distributions at the option of the board of directors of our General Partner (provided, that after giving effect to such distributions, the borrowers will be in compliance with the financial covenants). The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is August 4, 2019.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for an interest period equal to one, two, three, or six months (as selected by us), plus a leverage based margin or (b) a base rate plus a leverage-based margin; such base rate shall be determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of interest per annum announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. (2) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% per annum and (3) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a one-month interest period on such day plus 1.00% per annum. LIBOR based loans will have an applicable margin that will range between 1.75% and 2.50% per annum and base rate loans will have an applicable margin that will range between 0.75% and 1.50% per annum, each based on our consolidated total leverage ratio when financial statements are delivered. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Credit Agreement, we are required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at the applicable rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum, paid quarterly in arrears based on our consolidated total leverage ratio. We are required to pay a customary letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on revolving credit LIBOR loans, fronting fees and other fees agreed to with the administrative agent and lenders.

The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain (i) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to consolidated interest charges) of 3.0 to 1.0, (ii) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ) of 5.5 to 1.0 (with step downs to 5.0 to 1.0), and (iii) a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio (consolidated secured indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ) of 4.0 to 1.0, in each case, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, calculated on a trailing four quarters basis. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt, incur, or permit certain liens to exist, or make certain loans, investments, acquisitions, or other restricted payments. The Credit Agreement provides that we can make distributions to holders of our common units, but only if there is no default or

34



event of default under the facility. We are in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2015.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first lien security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries, and all of the capital stock of our existing and future subsidiaries (limited in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 65% of the voting stock of first tier foreign subsidiaries).
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of June 30, 2015, we had no “off balance sheet arrangements” that may have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations and commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness and obligations under operating leases. During the first six months of 2015, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in the specified contractual obligations.

For additional information about our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2014, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” and information based on our beliefs and those of our general partner. Forward-looking statements in this annual report are identifiable by the use of the following words and other similar words: “anticipates”, “assumes”, “believes”, “budgets”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “goal”, “intends”, “may”, “might”, “plans”, “predicts”, “projects”, “schedules”, “seeks”, “should, “targets”, “will” and “would”.

Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable but such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, and uncertainties, including, but not limited to:
economic and operating conditions that are outside of our control, including the supply, demand, and prices of crude oil and natural gas;
the levels of competition we encounter;
the activity levels of our customers;
the availability of adequate sources of capital to us;
our ability to comply with contractual obligations, including those under our financing arrangements;
our operational performance;
risks related to acquisitions and our growth strategy, including our recent acquisition of Compressor Systems, Inc.;
the availability of raw materials and labor at reasonable prices;
risks related to our foreign operations;
the effect and results of litigation, regulatory matters, settlements, audits, assessments, and contingencies; and
other risks and uncertainties under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and as included in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available free of charge on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

35




The risks and uncertainties referred to above are generally beyond our ability to control and we cannot predict all the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary from those indicated by the forward-looking statements, and such variances may be material.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements made by or attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements we may make, except as may be required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We do not take title to any natural gas or oil in connection with our services and, accordingly, have no direct exposure to fluctuating commodity prices. While we have a significant number of customers who have retained our services through periods of high and low commodity prices, we generally experience less growth and more customer attrition during periods of significantly high or low commodity prices. For a discussion of our indirect exposure to fluctuating commodity prices, please read “Risk Factors — Certain Business Risks” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2015. We depend on domestic and international demand for and production of natural gas and oil and a reduction in this demand or production could adversely affect the demand or the prices we charge for our services, which could cause our revenues and cash available for distribution to our unitholders to decrease in the future. We do not intend to hedge, our indirect exposure to fluctuating commodity prices.

Interest Rate Risk
 
Through June 30, 2015, there have been no material changes in the information pertaining to our interest rate risk exposures as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
Exchange Rate Risk

 We have exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates associated with our operations in Latin America and Canada. Most of our billings under our contracts with PEMEX and other clients in Mexico are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a large portion of our expenses and costs under those contracts are incurred in Mexican pesos, and we retain cash balances denominated in Mexican pesos. As such, we are exposed to fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. As Mexican peso denominated assets are largely offset by Mexican peso denominated liabilities, a hypothetical increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar-Mexican peso foreign exchange rate of 10.0% would have a $108,000 impact on our net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2015.

We enter into 30-day foreign currency forward derivative contracts as part of a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected transactions of certain foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2015, we had the following foreign currency derivative contract outstanding relating to a portion of our foreign operations:

Under this program, we may enter into similar derivative contracts from time to time. Although contracts pursuant to this program will serve as an economic hedge of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they will not be formally designated as hedge contracts or qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any change in the fair value of these derivative instruments during a period will be included in the determination of earnings for that period.


36



The fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments are based on quoted market values as reported to us by our counterparty (a Level 2 fair value measurement). The fair value of our foreign currency derivative instruments as of June 30, 2015, is as follows:

None of the foreign currency derivative contracts contain credit risk related contingent features that would require us to post assets or collateral for contracts that are classified as liabilities. During the period ended June 30, 2015, we recognized approximately $0.00 million of net gains associated with our foreign currency derivative program, and such amount is included in Other Income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of our General Partner, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of our General Partner concluded that, except with respect to the event described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

We are currently integrating CSI into our internal control over financial reporting processes. In executing this integration, we are analyzing, evaluating, and, where necessary, making changes in controls and procedures related to the CSI business, which we expect to be completed in fiscal year 2015.

Other than the changes described above in the preceding paragraph, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to a Participant; (iii) determine the number of Units to be covered by Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award, consistent with the terms of the Plan, which terms may include any provision regarding the acceleration of vesting or waiver of forfeiture restrictions and any other condition or limitation regarding an Award, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be vested, settled, exercised, canceled, or forfeited; (vi) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to an Award made under the Plan; (vii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (viii) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or an Award Agreement in such manner and to such extent as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate, but in no event shall an action of the Committee materially reduce the rights or benefits of a Participant with respect to an Award without the consent of such Participant. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including the Company, the Partnership, any Affiliate, any Participant, and any beneficiary of any Award.

(b)Limitation of Liability. The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to it, him or her by any officer or employee of the Company, the Partnership or their Affiliates, the Company’s or the Partnership’s legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.

(c)Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. It is the intent of the Company that the grant of any Awards to, or other transaction by, a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 or another applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged by the Participant in writing to be non-exempt). Accordingly, if any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or such other exemption as then applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
SECTION 4.
Units.

(a)Limits on Units Deliverable.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the number of Units that may be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan will not exceed 1,537,122 Units. Units withheld from an Award or surrendered by a Participant to either satisfy the Company’s or an Affiliate’s tax withholding obligations with respect to the Award or pay the exercise price of an Award (including the withholding of Units, where applicable) shall not be considered to be Units delivered under the Plan for this purpose. If any Award is forfeited, cancelled, exercised, paid, or otherwise terminates or expires without the actual delivery of Units pursuant to such Award (the grant of Restricted Units is not a delivery of Units for this purpose), the Units subject to such Award shall again be available for Awards under the Plan (including Units not delivered in connection with the exercise of an Option or Unit Appreciation Right). There shall not be any limitation on the number of Awards that may be paid in cash.

(b)Sources of Units Deliverable Under Awards.  Any Units delivered pursuant to an Award shall consist, in whole or in part, of Units acquired in the open market, from any Affiliate, the Partnership or any other Person, Units otherwise issuable by the Partnership, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

(c)    Anti-dilution Adjustments.  With respect to any “equity restructuring” event that could result in an additional compensation expense to the Company or the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718 if adjustments to Awards with respect to such event were discretionary, the Committee shall equitably adjust the number and type of Units covered by each outstanding Award and the terms and conditions, including the exercise price and performance criteria (if any), of such Award to equitably reflect such restructuring event and shall adjust the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted after such event. With respect to any other similar event that would not result in a FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718 accounting charge if the adjustment to Awards with respect to such event were subject to discretionary action, the Committee shall have complete discretion to adjust Awards in such manner as it deems appropriate with respect to such other event. In the event the Committee makes any adjustment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(c), the Committee shall make a corresponding and proportionate adjustment with respect to the maximum number of Units that may be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 4(a) and the kind of Units or other securities available for grant under the Plan.
(d)    Additional Issuances. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issuance by the Company of units for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, or upon the conversion of units or obligations of the Company convertible into such units, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Units subject to Awards theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan.
SECTION 5.
Eligibility.

Any Employee, Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant by the Committee and receive an Award under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employees, Consultants and Directors that provide services to Affiliates that are not considered a single employer with the Partnership under Section 414(b) of the Code or Section 414(c) of the Code shall not be eligible to receive Awards which are subject to Section 409A of the Code

4



until the Affiliate adopts the Plan as a participating employer in accordance with Section 10. Further, if the Units issuable pursuant to an Award are intended to be registered with the SEC on Form S-8, then only Employees, Consultants, and Directors of the Partnership or a parent or subsidiary of the Partnership (within the meaning of General Instruction A.1(a) to Form S-8) will be eligible to receive such an Award.
SECTION 6.
Awards.

(a)Restricted Units and Phantom Units.  The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Restricted Units and Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Restricted Units or Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the Restricted Period, the conditions under which the Restricted Units or Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards.

(i)UDRs.  To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, a grant of Restricted Units may provide that the distributions made by the Partnership with respect to the Restricted Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture and other restrictions as the Restricted Unit and, if restricted, such distributions shall be held, without interest, until the Restricted Unit vests or is forfeited with the UDR being paid or forfeited at the same time, as the case may be. In addition, the Committee may provide that such distributions be used to acquire additional Restricted Units for the Participant. Such additional Restricted Units may be subject to such vesting and other terms as the Committee may prescribe. Absent such a restriction on the UDRs in the Award Agreement, UDRs shall be paid promptly to the holder of the Restricted Unit without vesting restrictions.

(ii)Forfeitures.  Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with or consulting services to the Company and its Affiliates or membership as a Director, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding, unvested Restricted Units and Phantom Units awarded the Participant shall be automatically forfeited on such termination unless the Committee, in its discretion, waives in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a Participant’s Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units, at which time the Award would become vested to the extent the Committee provides.

(iii)Lapse of Restrictions.

(A)Phantom Units. During the ten day period immediately following vesting of each Phantom Unit, subject to the provisions of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to settlement of such Phantom Unit and shall receive from the Company either one Unit or an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Unit, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

(B)Restricted Units. Upon the vesting of each Restricted Unit, subject to satisfying the tax withholding obligations of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to have the restrictions removed from his or her Award so that the Participant then holds an unrestricted Unit.

(b)Unit Awards.  Unit Awards may be granted under the Plan to such Employees, Consultants and/or Directors and in such amounts as the Committee, in its discretion, may select.

(c)Other Unit-Based Awards.  Other Unit-Based Awards may be granted under the Plan to such Employees, Consultants and/or Directors and in such amounts as the Committee, in its discretion, may select. An Other Unit-Based Award shall be an Award denominated or payable in, valued in or otherwise based on or related to Units, in whole or in part. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Unit-Based Award. Upon or as soon as reasonably practical following vesting, an Other Unit-Based Award may be settled, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, in cash, Units (including Restricted Units) or any combination thereof as provided in the applicable Award Agreement.

(d)Options. The Committee may grant Options that are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(b)(5)(i)(A) only to Employees, Consultants or Directors performing services for the Partnership or a corporation or other type of entity in a chain of corporations or other entities in which each corporation or other entity has a “controlling interest” in another corporation or entity in the chain, starting with the Partnership and ending with the corporation or other entity for which the Employee, Consultant or Director performs services. For purposes of this Section 6(d), “controlling interest” means (i) in the case of a corporation, ownership of stock possessing at least 50% of total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote or at least 50% of the total

5



value of shares of all classes of stock of such corporation; (ii) in the case of a partnership, ownership of at least 50% of the profits interest or capital interest of such partnership; (iii) in the case of a sole proprietorship, ownership of the sole proprietorship; or (iv) in the case of a trust or estate, ownership of an actuarial interest (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(ii)) of at least 50% of such trust or estate. The Committee may grant Options that are otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code to any eligible Employee, Consultant or Director. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the number of Units to be covered by each Option, the purchase price therefor and the Restricted Period and other conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

(i)Exercise Price. The exercise price per Unit purchasable under an Option that does not provide for the deferral of compensation under the 409A Regulations shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted but, except with respect to Substitute Awards, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Option. The exercise price per Unit purchasable under an Option that does not provide for the deferral of compensation by reason of satisfying the short-term deferral rule set forth in the 409A Regulations or that is compliant with Section 409A of the Code shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted.

(ii)Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the exercise terms and the Restricted Period with respect to an Option grant, which may include, without limitation, a provision for accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals or other events, and the method or methods by which payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made, which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the Company, withholding Units from an Award, a “cashless-broker” exercise through procedures approved by the Committee, or any combination of the above methods, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price.

(iii)Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Award Agreement, upon termination of a Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates or membership on the Board, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all unvested Options shall be forfeited by the Participant. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a Participant’s Options; provided that the waiver contemplated under this Section 6(d)(iii) shall be effective only to the extent that such waiver will not cause the Participant’s Options that are designed to satisfy Section 409A of the Code to fail to satisfy such section.

(e)Unit Appreciation Rights. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Unit Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by each grant, whether Units or cash shall be delivered upon exercise, the exercise price therefor and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Unit Appreciation Rights, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

(i)Exercise Price. The exercise price per Unit Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Unit Appreciation Right is granted and may be more or less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise price per Unit that may be acquired under a Unit Appreciation Right that does not provide for the deferral of compensation under the 409A Regulations shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Unit Appreciation Right.

(ii)Time of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the Restricted Period and the time or times at which a Unit Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part, which may include, without limitation, accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals or other events.

(iii)Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Award Agreement, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with or service to the General Partner, the Partnership and their Affiliates or membership on the Board, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding Unit Appreciation Rights awarded to the Participant shall be automatically forfeited on such termination. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to a Participant’s Unit Appreciation Rights.

6




(f)DERs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, an Award (other than a Restricted Unit or Unit Award) may include a tandem DER grant, which may provide that such DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee) subject to the same vesting restrictions as the tandem Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion. Absent a contrary provision in the Award Agreement, DERs shall be paid to the Participant without restriction at the same time as ordinary cash distributions are paid by the Partnership to its unitholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DERs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

(g)Substitute Awards. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution of similar awards held by individuals who become Employees, Consultants or Directors as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition by the Partnership or an Affiliate of another entity or the assets of another entity. Such Substitute Awards that are Options or Unit Appreciation Rights may have exercise prices less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of the substitution if such substitution complies with Section 409A of the Code and the 409A Regulations and other applicable laws and exchange rules.

(h)General.

(i)Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together.    Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

(ii)Limits on Transfer of Awards.

(A)Each Option and Unit Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or by the Person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(B)No Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company, the Partnership or any Affiliate.

(iii)Issuance of Units.  The Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered pursuant to an Award may be evidenced in any manner deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, in the form of a certificate issued in the name of the Participant or by book entry, electronic or otherwise, and shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates or book entry to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

(iv)Consideration for Grants.  Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee shall determine.

(v)Restrictions on Awards. The right of a Participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of an Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to service or performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such individual or business criteria or other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any such conditions, and it may exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under any Award subject to such conditions.

(vi)Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise, vesting and/or settlement of an Award may be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the Company is not reasonably able to obtain Units to deliver pursuant

7



to such Award without violating applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of any governmental agency or authority or securities exchange. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Company.

SECTION 7.
Amendment and Termination.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law:
(a)Amendments to the Plan and Awards.  Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Units are traded, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner, including increasing the number of Units available for Awards under the Plan, without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided that no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(b), 7(c), or 7(d) below, in any Award shall materially reduce the rights or benefits of a Participant with respect to an Award without the consent of such Participant.

(b)Recapitalizations.  If the Company recapitalizes, reclassifies its equity securities, or otherwise changes its capital structure (a “recapitalization”), the number and class of Units covered by an Award theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such Award shall thereafter cover the number and class of Units and securities to which the holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to the recapitalization, the holder had been the holder of record of the number of Units then covered by such Award and the unit limitations provided in Section 4 shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with the recapitalization.

(c)Award Adjustment. In the event of changes in the outstanding Units by reason of recapitalization, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the date of the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for by this Section 7, any outstanding Awards and any agreements evidencing such Awards shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee at its discretion as to the number and price of Units or other consideration subject to such Awards. In the event of any such change in the outstanding Units, the share limitations provided in Section 4 may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive.

(d)Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any holder, may affect one or more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual holders and which may vary among Awards: (i) remove any applicable forfeiture restrictions on any Award; (ii) accelerate the time at which the Restricted Period shall lapse to a specific date, before or after such Change of Control, specified by the Committee; (iii) require the mandatory surrender to the Company by selected holders of some or all of the outstanding Awards held by such holders (irrespective of whether such Awards are then subject to a Restricted Period or other restrictions pursuant to the Plan) as of a date, before or after such Change of Control, specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Awards and pay to each holder an amount of cash per unit equal to the amount calculated in Section 7(e) (the “Change of Control Price”); or (iv) make such adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change of Control; provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is necessary to Awards then outstanding.

(e)Change of Control Price. The “Change of Control Price” shall equal the amount determined in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), whichever is applicable, as follows: (i) the per unit price offered to Unit holders in any merger or consolidation, (ii) the per unit value of the Units immediately before the Change of Control without regard to assets sold in the Change of Control and assuming the Company has received the consideration paid for the assets in the case of a sale of the assets, (iii) the amount distributed per Unit in a dissolution transaction, (iv) the price per unit offered to Unit holders in any tender offer or exchange offer whereby a Change of Control takes place, or (v) if such Change of Control occurs other than pursuant to a transaction described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of this Section 7(e), the Fair Market Value per unit of the units that may otherwise be obtained with respect to such Awards or to which such Awards track, as determined by the Committee as of the date determined by the Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of such Awards. In the event that the consideration offered to unitholders of the Company in any transaction described in this Section 7(e) or Section 7(d) consists of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine the fair cash equivalent of the portion of the consideration offered which is other than cash.


8



(f)Acceleration of Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, upon the Retirement of a Participant, or upon termination of a Participant’s employment with or consulting services to the Company and its Affiliates or membership as a Director, whichever is applicable, due to the Participant’s death or disability, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any holder, may affect either or both of the following alternatives with respect to Awards held by such Participant, which may vary among individual holders and which may vary among Awards: (i) remove any applicable forfeiture restrictions on any Award; or (ii) accelerate the time at which the Restricted Period shall lapse to a specific date, before or after such Retirement or termination, specified by the Committee; provided, however, that no action shall be taken under this Section 7(f) with respect to a 409A Award if such action would cause the Award to fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the 409A Regulations. Any action taken by the Committee pursuant to this Section 7(f) shall be in writing specifying the effective date of such action.

SECTION 8.
General Provisions.

(a)No Rights to Award.  No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

(b)Tax Withholding.  Unless other arrangements have been made that are acceptable to the Company, the Company or any Affiliate is authorized to deduct or withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Units, Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in respect of the grant or settlement of an Award, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any other payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes.

(c)No Right to Employment or Services.  The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, to continue consulting services or to remain as a Director, as applicable. Furthermore, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or consulting free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or other agreement.

(d)Governing Law.  The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

(e)Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(f)Other Laws.  The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are then traded, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.

(g)No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any participating Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any participating Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company or any participating Affiliate.

(h)No Fractional Units.  No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid

9



or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated with or without consideration.

(i)Headings.  Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

(j)Facility of Payment.  Any amounts payable hereunder to any individual under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to manage properly his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such individual, or may be applied for the benefit of such individual in any manner that the Committee may select, and the Company shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts.

(k)Participation by Affiliates.  In making Awards to Employees employed by an entity other than the Company, the Committee shall be acting on behalf of the Affiliate, and to the extent the Partnership has an obligation to reimburse the Company for compensation paid for services rendered for the benefit of the Partnership, such payments or reimbursement payments may be made by the Partnership directly to the Affiliate, and, if made to the Company, shall be received by the Company as agent for the Affiliate.

(l)Gender and Number.  Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

(m)Compliance with Section 409A.  Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall operate or be construed to cause the Plan or an Award to fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The applicable provisions of Section 409A the Code and the regulations thereunder are hereby incorporated by reference and shall control over any Plan or Award Agreement provision in conflict therewith. To the extent that any Award shall be subject to Section 409A of the Code, it shall be designed to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(n)Specified Employee under Section 409A. Subject to any other restrictions or limitations contained herein, in the event that a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code and the 409A Regulations) becomes entitled to a payment under an Award which is a 409A Award on account of a “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code and the 409A Regulations), such payment shall not occur until the date that is six months plus one day from the date of such separation from service. Any amount that is otherwise payable within the six month period described herein will be aggregated and paid in a lump sum without interest.

SECTION 9.
Term of the Plan.

The Plan shall be effective on the date on which the Original Plan was adopted by the Board. The provisions of the Original Plan, as amended from time to time including, without limitation, the Plan, shall be applicable to all Awards granted after the effective date. The Plan shall continue until the earliest of (i) the date terminated by the Board, (ii) all Units available under the Plan have been delivered to Participants, or (iii) the 10th anniversary of the date the Original Plan is adopted by the Board. However, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.
SECTION 10. Adoption by Affiliates.

With the consent of the Committee, any Affiliate that is not considered a single employer with the Partnership under Section 414(b) of the Code or Section 414(c) of the Code may adopt the Plan for the benefit of its Employees, Consultants or Directors by written instrument delivered to the Committee before the grant to such Affiliate’s Employees, Consultants or Directors under the Plan of any 409A Award.
