COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | (10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Credit Facility In the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a $700.0 million, five-year, multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders which includes an accordion feature that permits the Company to request an increase in total commitments up to $1.0 billion, under certain conditions. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, KeyBank National Association, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BBVA Compass and HSBC Bank USA, National Association served as Joint Lead Arrangers. The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company's prior credit facility entered into during 2010 and amended in 2012. The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility that matures on June 3, 2018 with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $700.0 million. At the Company's discretion, direct borrowing options under the Credit Agreement include (i) Eurodollar loans with one, two, three, and six month terms, and/or (ii) overnight base rate loans. The Credit Agreement also provides for a sub-limit for loans or letters of credit in both U.S. dollars and certain foreign currencies, with direct foreign subsidiary borrowing capabilities up to 50% of the total commitment amount. The Company may increase the maximum aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement to $1.0 billion if certain conditions are satisfied, including that the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that the Company obtains the commitment of the lenders participating in the increase. The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Agreement to fund working capital, general operations, stock repurchases and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had borrowings of $100.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Agreement, and its average daily utilization was $280.5 million and $230.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. After consideration for issued letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, totaling $3.5 million, the Company's remaining borrowing capacity was $596.5 million as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement. From time-to-time, the Company has unsecured, uncommitted lines of credit to support working capital for a few foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, no foreign loans were outstanding. Letters of Credit As of June 30, 2014, outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement totaled $3.5 million and primarily guaranteed workers' compensation and other insurance related obligations. As of June 30, 2014, letters of credit and contract performance guarantees issued outside of the Credit Agreement totaled $1.0 million. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company has been involved in legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for exposures associated with such legal actions to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and estimable. To the extent specific reserves have not been made for certain legal proceedings, their ultimate outcome, and consequently, an estimate of possible loss, if any, cannot reasonably be determined at this time. Based on currently available information and advice received from counsel, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate resolution of its legal proceedings, except as otherwise specifically reserved for in its financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations. In the fourth quarter of 2012, a class action complaint was filed in the State of California against a TeleTech subsidiary and Google Inc. (“Google”), as co-defendants. Pursuant to its contractual commitments, the Company has agreed to indemnify Google for costs and expenses related to the complaint. The Company settled the matter for an immaterial amount during the first quarter of 2014.
