Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	10. Debt Revolving Credit Facility Our $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") will mature on October 16, 2018. We have the ability to increase the total commitment of our Revolving Credit Facility by up to $200.0 million for a total facility size of up to $500.0 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from lenders and to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $25.0 million sub-limit for standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sub-limit for swing line loans. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and certain cash management and hedging obligations are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our and our subsidiaries' significant assets. Our creditors under the Revolving Credit Facility have no recourse to Western's assets. Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%, or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%. The applicable margin will vary based on our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Partnership’s subsidiaries may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge into, another company if such a sale would cause a default under the Indenture.
