Credit Facility

On November 10, 2011, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, providing for revolving loans, swingline loans, letters of credit and a term loan. The Credit Agreement consists of a five-year $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes a sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a sublimit for swingline loans, and a five-year $200 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Credit Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to request optional incremental term loans and increases in the revolving commitment. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had up to $56 million of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility portion of the Credit Agreement. The amount of unused borrowings actually available varies in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

On November 10, 2011, the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $75 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and did not borrow any amount under the Term Credit Facility. On February 10, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $95.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and $200.0 million under the term Credit Facility, bringing the total aggregate principal balance to $370.0 million. These additional borrowings were in connection with the S1 acquisition that was completed on February 13, 2012. In connection with obtaining the credit agreement, the Company incurred debt issue costs of $12.3 million, $11.8 million of which were paid at December 31, 2011 with the remainder paid as of September 30, 2012.

On September 21, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $24.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility to partially fund the repurchase of the majority of its outstanding common stock warrants held by International Business Machines (“IBM”). For further discussion on the common stock warrants see Note 16, “International Business Machines Corporation Alliance Agreement”.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced by the Administrative Agent as its Prime Rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) a LIBOR based rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for a one-month interest period adjusted for certain additional costs plus 1% or (b) a LIBOR based rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, based on the calculation of the applicable consolidated total leverage ratio, between 0.50% to 1.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and between 1.50% and 2.50% with respect to LIBOR based borrowings. Interest is due and payable monthly. The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2012 was 2.22%.

In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR based borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit fees and agency fees.

On September 11, 2012, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a First Amendment and Consent and Waiver No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Wells Fargo as administrative agent and as a lender, and the other lenders (the “Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement, dated November 10, 2011, by and among the Company, Wells Fargo and the Lenders. The Amendment, among other things, permits the Company, subject to certain conditions, to (i) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value up to 2,500,000 shares of capital stock of the Company, (ii) complete certain reorganization and investment activities relating to the integration of S1 Corporation and (iii) acquire non-guarantor subsidiaries, provided that such acquisitions do not exceed $75.0 million for any acquisition (or series of related acquisitions) and, subject to certain exceptions, $200.0 million when taken together with all non-guarantor subsidiaries acquired after September 11, 2012. This amendment does not change the amount of debt outstanding, available, payment schedule or interest rate. The company incurred additional financing costs of $0.5 million related to the Amendment which were paid during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

The Company is permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR based loans.

The Company paid $9.4 million in principal payments for the Term Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The following payments are expected for the Term Credit Facility over the subsequent five year period:


	Payments due by Period (amounts in thousands)
	Remainder of 2012		2013		2014		2015		2016
Term Credit Facility	$	4,375	$	17,500	$	26,250	$	30,000	$	112,500

The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary mandatory prepayment provisions. If certain events, as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall occur, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility will mature on the five-year anniversary of the closing date for the Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility will not amortize and the Term Credit Facility will amortize, with principal payable in consecutive quarterly installments. The Company’s obligations and the obligations of the guarantors under the Guaranty and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the Credit Facility (or affiliates thereof) are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all assets of the Company and any guarantor, including 100% of the capital stock of ACI Corporation and each domestic subsidiary of the Company, each domestic subsidiary of any guarantor and 65% of the voting capital stock of each foreign subsidiary of the Company that is directly owned by the Company or a guarantor, and in each case, is subject to certain exclusions set forth in the credit documentation governing the Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default, as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2012, and at all times during the period, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company financed the five-year license agreement for certain internally-used software for $14.8 million with annual payments due in April through 2016. As of September 30, 2012, $2.9 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities and $9.3 million in other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
