Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

ACI Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “ACI” or the “Company”), develop, market, install, and support a broad line of software products and services primarily focused on facilitating electronic payments. In addition to its own products, the Company distributes, or acts as a sales agent for software developed by third parties. These products and services are used principally by financial institutions, retailers, and electronic-payment processors, both in domestic and international markets.

The Company derives a substantial portion of its total revenues from licensing its BASE24 family of software products and providing services and maintenance related to those products. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, approximately 32%, 43%, and 46%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues were derived from licensing the BASE24 product line, which does not include the BASE24-eps product, and providing related services and maintenance. A substantial majority of the Company’s licenses are time-based (“term”) licenses.

Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Recently acquired subsidiaries that are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of their acquisition include: S1 Corporation (“S1”), North Data Uruguay S.A. (“North Data”), and Distra Pty Ltd. (“Distra”) acquired during the year ended December 31, 2012 and ISD Corporation (“ISD”) acquired during the year ended December 31, 2011. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

On September 21, 2010, the Company dissolved its partnership in Madrid, Spain with Sistema 4B, S.A. (“Sistema”). As a result, the Company paid Sistema 1.0 million Euros (approximately $1.2 million) during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Capital Stock

The Company’s outstanding capital stock consists of a single class of common stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote upon each matter subject to a stockholders vote and to dividends if and when declared by the Board of Directors.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition, Accrued Receivables and Deferred Revenue

Software License Fees. The Company recognizes software license fee revenue in accordance with ASC 985-605, Revenue Recognition: Software. For software license arrangements for which services rendered are primarily related to installation of core software and are not considered essential to the functionality of the software, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery, provided (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) collection of the fee is considered probable and (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable. In most arrangements, vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value does not exist for the license element; therefore, the Company uses the residual method under ASC 985-605 to determine the amount of revenue to be allocated to the license element. Under ASC 985-605, the fair value of all undelivered elements, such as post contract customer support (maintenance or “PCS”) or other products or services, is deferred and subsequently recognized as the products are delivered or the services are performed, with the residual difference between the total arrangement fee and revenues allocated to undelivered elements being allocated to the delivered element.

When a software license arrangement includes services to provide significant modification or customization of software, those services are considered essential to the functionality of the software and are not separable from the software. These arrangements are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-35, Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, generally referred to as contract accounting. Under contract accounting, the Company generally uses the percentage-of-completion method. For those contracts subject to percentage-of-completion contract accounting, estimates of total revenue and profitability under the contract consider amounts due under extended payment terms. The Company recognizes revenue under these arrangements based on the lesser of payments that become due or the revenue calculated under the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, the Company records revenue for the software license fee and services over the development and implementation period, with the percentage of completion generally measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to-date to estimated total labor hours for each contract. In the event project profitability is assured and estimable within a range, percentage-of-completion revenue recognition is computed using the lowest level of profitability in the range. If it is determined that a loss will result from the performance of a contract, the entire amount of the loss is recognized in the period in which it is determined that a loss will result.

For software license arrangements in which a significant portion of the fee is due more than 12 months after delivery or when payment terms are significantly beyond the Company’s standard business practice, the software license fee is deemed not to be fixed or determinable. For software license arrangements in which the fee is not considered fixed or determinable, the software license fee is recognized as revenue as payments become due and payable, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. For software license arrangements in which the Company has concluded that collection of the fees is not probable, revenue is recognized as cash is collected, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. In making the determination of collectability, the Company considers the creditworthiness of the customer, economic conditions in the customer’s industry and geographic location, and general economic conditions.

ASC 985-605 requires the seller of software that includes PCS to establish VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element of the contract in order to account separately for the PCS revenue. The Company establishes VSOE of the fair value of PCS by reference to stated renewals, expressed in dollar terms, or separate sales with consistent pricing of PCS expressed in percentage terms. In determining whether a stated renewal is not substantive, the Company considers factors such as whether the period of the initial PCS term is relatively long when compared to the term of the software license or whether the PCS renewal rate is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practices. In determining whether PCS pricing is consistent, the Company considers the population of separate sales that are within a reasonably narrow range of the median within the identified market segment over the trailing 12 month period.

ASC 985-605 also requires the seller of software that includes services to establish VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element of the contract in order to account separately for the services revenue. The Company establishes VSOE of the fair value of services by reference to separate sales of comparable services with consistent pricing. In determining whether services pricing is consistent, the Company considers the population of separate sales that are within a reasonably narrow range of the median within the identified market segment over the trailing 12 month period.

For those software license arrangements that include customer-specific acceptance provisions, such provisions are generally presumed to be substantive and the Company does not recognize revenue until the earlier of the receipt of a written customer acceptance, objective demonstration that the delivered product meets the customer-specific acceptance criteria or the expiration of the acceptance period. The Company also defers the recognition of revenue on transactions involving less-established or newly released software products that do not have a history of successful implementation. The Company recognizes revenues on such arrangements upon the earlier of receipt of written acceptance or the first production use of the software by the customer. In the absence of customer-specific acceptance provisions, software license arrangements generally grant customers a right of refund or replacement only if the licensed software does not perform in accordance with its published specifications. If the Company’s product history supports an assessment by management that the likelihood of non-acceptance is remote, the Company recognizes revenue when all other criteria of revenue recognition are met.

For software license arrangements in which the Company acts as a sales agent for another company’s products, revenues are recorded on a net basis. These include arrangements in which the Company does not take title to the products, is not responsible for providing the product or service, earns a fixed commission, or assumes credit risk only to the extent of its commission. For software license arrangements in which the Company acts as a distributor of another company’s product, and in certain circumstances, modifies or enhances the product, revenues are recorded on a gross basis. These include arrangements in which the Company takes title to the products and is responsible for providing the product or service.

For software license arrangements in which the Company utilizes a third-party distributor or sales agent, the Company recognizes revenue on a sell-in basis when business practices and operating history indicate that there is no risk of returns, rebates, or credits and there are no other risks related to the distributor or sales agents’ ability to honor payment or distribution commitments. For other arrangements in which any of the above factors indicate that there are risks of returns, rebates, or credits or any other risks related to the distributor or sales agents’ ability to honor payment or distribution commitments, the Company recognizes revenue on a sell-through basis.

For software license arrangements in which the Company permits the customer to receive unspecified future software products during the software license term, the Company recognizes revenue ratably over the license term, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. For software license arrangements in which the Company grants the customer a right to exchange the original software product for specified future software products with more than minimal differences in features, functionality, and/or price, during the license term, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of delivery of the additional software products or at the time the exchange right lapses. For customers granted a right to exchange the original software product for specified future software products where the Company has determined price, feature, and functionality differences are minimal, the exchange right is accounted for as a like-kind exchange and revenue is recognized upon delivery of the currently licensed product. For software license arrangements in which the customer is charged variable software license fees based on usage of the product, the Company recognizes revenue as usage occurs over the term of the licenses, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Certain of the Company’s software license arrangements include PCS terms that fail to achieve VSOE of fair value due to non-substantive renewal periods, or contain a range of possible non-substantive PCS renewal amounts. As a result of the maturation of certain retail payment engine products, including BASE24, a higher number of software license arrangements in the Americas and EMEA reportable segments fail to achieve VSOE of fair value for PCS due to non-substantive renewal periods, or contain a range of possible non-substantive PCS renewal amounts. For these arrangements, VSOE of fair value of PCS does not exist and revenues for the software license, PCS and services, if applicable, are considered to be one accounting unit and are therefore recognized ratably over the longer of the contractual service term of PCS term once the delivery of both services has commenced. The Company typically classifies revenues associated with these arrangements in accordance with the contractually specified amounts, which approximate fair value assigned to the various elements, including software license fees, maintenance fees and services, if applicable.

This allocation methodology has been applied to the following amounts included in revenues in the consolidated statements of income from arrangements for which VSOE of fair value does not exist for each undelivered element (in thousands):


	Years Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2010
Software license fees	$	38,226	$	66,939	$	47,095
Maintenance fees		14,178		16,801		10,261
Services		830		1,362		4,118

Total	$	53,234	$	85,102	$	61,474

Maintenance Fees. The Company typically enters into multi-year time-based software license arrangements that vary in length but are generally five years. These arrangements include an initial (bundled) PCS term of one year with subsequent renewals for additional years within the initial license period. For arrangements in which the Company looks to substantive renewal rates or separate sales with consistent pricing to evidence VSOE of fair value of PCS and in which the PCS renewal rate and term are substantive, VSOE of fair value of PCS is determined by reference to the stated renewal rate or by reference to the population of separate sales with consistent pricing. For these arrangements, PCS revenues are recognized ratably over the PCS term specified in the contract. In arrangements where VSOE of fair value of PCS cannot be determined (for example, a time-based software license with a duration of one year or less or when the range of possible PCS renewal amounts is not sufficiently narrow or is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practices), the Company recognizes revenue for the entire arrangement ratably over the longer of the initial PCS term or the Services term (if any).

For those arrangements that meet the criteria to be accounted for under contract accounting, the Company determines whether VSOE of fair value exists for the PCS element. For those arrangements in which VSOE of fair value exists for the PCS element, PCS is accounted for separately and the balance of the arrangement is accounted for under ASC 985-605. For those arrangements in which VSOE of fair value does not exist for the PCS element all revenue is deferred until such time as the services are complete. Once services are complete, revenue is then recognized ratably over the remaining PCS period.

Services. The Company provides various professional services to customers, primarily project management, software implementation and software modification services. Revenues from arrangements to provide professional services are generally recognized as the related services are performed.

For those arrangements in which services revenue is deferred and the Company determines that the direct costs of services are recoverable, such costs are deferred and subsequently expensed in proportion to the related services revenue as it is recognized. For those arrangements that are accounted for under contract accounting, the Company accumulates and defers all direct and indirect costs allocable to the arrangement. For those arrangements that are not accounted for under contract accounting, the Company accumulates and defers all direct and incremental costs attributable to the arrangement.

Revenue Recognition for Hosting Services.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted on a prospective basis for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after that date, the amended accounting guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and the amended guidance related to the scope of existing software revenue recognition guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, nor does the Company expect it to have a material impact on its future financial statements.

A multiple-deliverable arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if the delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s); and if delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company. If these criteria are not met, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting which would result in revenue being recognized ratably over the contract term or being deferred until the earlier of when such criteria are met or when the last undelivered element is delivered. If these criteria are met for each, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative selling price. The selling price for each element is based upon the following selling price hierarchy: VSOE if available, third party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.

The Company enters into hosting-related arrangements that may consist of multiple service deliverables including initial implementation and setup services, on-going support services, and other services. The Company’s hosted products operate in a highly regulated and controlled environment which requires a highly specialized and unique set of initial implementation and setup services prior to the commencement of hosting-related services. Due to the essential and specialized nature of the implementation and setup services, these services do not qualify as separate units of accounting separate from the hosting service as the delivered services do not have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. The on-going support and other services are considered as separate units of accounting as are add-on products that do not impact the availability of functionality currently in use. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each of the separate units of accounting based on their relative selling price and revenue is recognized over their respective service periods. As the support and other services periods are the same as the hosting service period, the recognition pattern is similar to what was experienced prior to adopting the amended accounting guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.

Multiple Arrangements. The Company may execute more than one contract or agreement with a single customer. The separate contracts or agreements may be viewed as one multiple-element arrangement or separate agreements for revenue recognition purposes. The Company evaluates whether the agreements were negotiated as part of a single project, whether the products or services are interrelated or interdependent, whether fees in one arrangement are tied to performance in another arrangement, and whether elements in one arrangement are essential to the functionality in another arrangement in order to reach appropriate conclusions regarding whether such arrangements are related or separate. The conclusions reached can impact the timing of revenue recognition related to those arrangements.

Accrued Receivables. Accrued receivables represent amounts earned that are to be billed in the near future. Included in accrued receivables are services and software hosting revenues earned in the current period but billed in the following period as well as software license fee revenues that are determined to be fixed and determinable but billed in future periods.

Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue includes amounts currently due and payable from customers, and payments received from customers, for software licenses, maintenance and/or services in advance of recording the related revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents includes holdings in checking, savings, money market and overnight sweep accounts, all of which have daily maturities, as well as time deposits with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of another party to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Company regularly monitors credit risk exposures. Potential concentration of credit risk in the Company’s receivables with respect to the banking, other financial services and telecommunications industries, as well as with retailers, processors, and networks is mitigated by the Company’s credit evaluation procedures and geographical dispersion of sales transactions. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. One customer in the Americas reportable segment accounted for 12.6% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2011. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2012.

The Company maintains a general allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience, along with additional customer-specific allowances. The Company regularly monitors credit risk exposures in accounts receivable. In estimating the necessary level of our allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the aging of accounts receivable, the creditworthiness of customers, economic conditions within the customer’s industry, and general economic conditions, among other factors.

The following reflects activity in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts receivable (in thousands):


	2012			2011			2010
Balance, beginning of period	$	4,843		$	5,738		$	2,732
Provision (recovery)		3,173			(101	)		3,116
Amounts written off, net of recoveries		(35	)		(516	)		(110	)
Foreign currency translation adjustments		136			(278	)		—

Balance, end of period	$	8,117		$	4,843		$	5,738

Provision (recovery) amounts recorded in general and administrative expenses during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 reflect increases (decreases) in the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon collection experience in the geographic regions in which the Company conducts business, net of collection of customer-specific receivables which were previously reserved for as doubtful of collection.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of these assets is generally computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:


Computer and office equipment			3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures			7 years
Leasehold improvements			Lesser of useful life of improvement or remaining term of lease
Vehicles and other			4-5 years
Buildings			30 years

Assets under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the asset life or the lease term.

Software

Software may be for internal use or available for sale. Costs related to certain software, which is available for sale, are capitalized in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, when the resulting product reaches technological feasibility. The Company generally determines technological feasibility when it has a detailed program design that takes product function, feature and technical requirements to their most detailed, logical form and is ready for coding. The Company does not typically capitalize costs related to software available for sale as technological feasibility generally coincides with general availability of the software.

Amortization of software costs to be sold or marketed externally, begins when the product is available for licensing to customers and is determined on a product-by-product basis. The annual amortization shall be the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio of current gross revenues for a product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, including the period being reported on. Due to competitive pressures, it may be possible that the estimates of anticipated future gross revenue or remaining estimated economic life of the software product will be reduced significantly. As a result, the carrying amount of the software product may be reduced accordingly. Amortization of internal-use software is generally computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three years.

Business Combinations

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, in the accounting for its acquisitions. It requires the Company to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, its estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, it records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of income.

Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include but are not limited to future expected cash flows from customer relationships, covenants not to compete and acquired developed technologies; brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the brand will continue to be used in our product portfolio; and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

Other estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as more fully discussed in Note 2.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually. During this assessment management relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and anticipated future cash flows. The Company assesses potential impairments to other intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered.

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year using October 1 balances or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company evaluates goodwill at the reporting unit level and has identified its reportable segments, Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”), and Asia/Pacific, as its reporting units. Recoverability of goodwill is measured using a discounted cash flow model incorporating discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Use of a discounted cash flow model is common practice in impairment testing in the absence of available transactional market evidence to determine the fair value.

The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation model include discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections and terminal value rates. Discount rates, growth rates and cash flow projections are the most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment. Discount rates are determined by using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC considers market and industry data as well as Company-specific risk factors. Operational management, considering industry and Company-specific historical and projected data, develops growth rates and cash flow projections for each reporting unit. Terminal value rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant WACC and low long-term growth rates. If the calculated fair value is less than the current carrying value, impairment of the reporting unit may exist. If the recoverability test indicates potential impairment, the Company calculates an implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to how goodwill is calculated in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the carrying value. The calculated fair value was in excess of the current carrying value for all reporting units for all periods.

Other intangible assets, which include customer relationships, purchased contracts, trademarks and trade names, and covenants not to compete, are amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from three years to 20 years. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset group may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded if the sum of the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of the impairment charge is measured based upon the fair value of the asset group.

Treasury Stock

The Company accounts for shares of its common stock that are repurchased without intent to retire as treasury stock. Such shares are recorded at cost and reflected separately on the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. The Company issues shares of treasury stock upon exercise of stock options, issuance of restricted share awards, payment of earned performance shares, and for issuances of common stock pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan. For purposes of determining the cost of the treasury shares re-issued, the Company uses the average cost method.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In accordance with ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount of expense recognized. Forfeiture estimates are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods when actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Share based compensation expense is recorded in operating expenses depending on where the respective individual’s compensation is recorded. The Company generally utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant. The assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, as well as the description of the plans the stock-based awards are granted under, are described in further detail in Note 13, Stock-Based Compensation Plans.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries typically use the local currency of the countries in which they are located as their functional currency. Their assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains and losses, including those related to intercompany accounts, that are not considered to be of a long-term investment nature are included in the determination of net income. Transaction gains and losses, including those related to intercompany accounts, that are considered to be of a long-term investment nature are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Since the undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, the components of accumulated other comprehensive income have not been tax-effected.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company periodically assesses its tax exposures and establishes, or adjusts, estimated unrecognized tax benefits for probable assessments by taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and various foreign and state authorities. Such unrecognized tax benefits represent the estimated provision for income taxes expected to ultimately be paid.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). The amendments in ASU 2011-04 change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Some of the amendments clarify FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”) which requires presentation of the components of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements and eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The standard does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income (loss), how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to net income (loss). Also, in December of 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12). Adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This standard allows entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under this amendment, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for entities to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. Entities have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This amendment allows entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not more likely than not impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. Entities have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Therefore, ASU 2012-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. Adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Fiscal 2013 Acquisitions

Online Resources Corporation

On January 30, 2013, the Company and Online Resources Corporation (“ORCC”) entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) providing for the acquisition of ORCC by the Company. The boards of directors of both ORCC and the Company have approved the Transaction Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the Company has commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) for all of ORCC’s outstanding shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.85 per ORCC share in cash for approximately $127 million. The Offer is subject to the conditions that there be validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date of the Offer, a majority of all of the ORCC shares outstanding and entitled to vote.

The Company and Special Value Opportunities Fund, LLC (“SVOF”) entered into a Shareholder Agreement for the Company to acquire the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of ORCC (“Preferred Stock”) held by SVOF. Purchase price for the Preferred Stock is expected to be approximately $130.5 million

The Offer is also subject to the satisfaction of other customary conditions in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement and the absence of a material adverse effect. The Offer is not subject to any financing condition.

Profesionales en Transacciones Electronicas S.A

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company acquired 100% of Profesionales en Transacciones Electronicas S.A. – Venezuela (“PTESA-V”), 100% of Profesionales en Transacciones Electronicas S.A. – Ecuador (“PTESA-E”), and the ACI related assets of Profesionales en Transacciones Electronicas S.A. – Colombia (“PTESA-C”), collectively “PTESA”. PTESA has been a long-term partner of the Company, serving customers in South America in sales, service and support functions. The addition of the PTESA team to the Company reinforces its commitment to serve the Latin American market.

PTESA-E and PTESA-V were acquired for $2.8 million. The assets of PTESA-C were acquired for $11.4 million. The acquisition will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with the Company identified as the acquirer.

Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in goodwill (a portion of which is not tax deductible) include the acquisition of management, sales, and services personnel with the skills to market and support products of the Company in the Latin America region.

Fiscal 2012 Acquisition

Distra Pty Ltd

On September 18, 2012, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% of Distra Pty Ltd. The Distra Universal Payments Platform delivers a fault-tolerant, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based payments platform that helps to significantly reduce the risk and cost of payments transformation without compromising security, performance, scalability and reliability. The integration of the Company’s and Distra’s technologies will enable financial institutions, processors and retailers to enhance the flexibility and performance of their existing payments infrastructure to address market needs, such as mobile, social channels and payment service hubs. In addition, this acquisition will enable the Company’s payment products to integrate more tightly with customers’ enterprise architectures, reducing their total cost of ownership.

The aggregate purchase price of Distra of $49.8 million, which was paid with existing cash balances. In addition, the company paid $0.5 million in transaction fees in relation to the acquisition of Distra, which are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition has been allocated preliminarily to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The allocation of purchase price is based upon certain external valuations and other analyses that have not been completed as of the date of this filing including but not limited to certain tax accounts. Accordingly, the purchase price allocations are preliminary and are subject to future adjustments during the maximum one-year allocation period. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded the following amounts based upon its preliminary purchase price allocation as of the date of the acquisition, which are subject to completion of the valuation and other analyses (in thousands, except weighted-average useful lives):


	Amount		Weighted-Average Useful Lives
Total current assets acquired:	$	1,857
Noncurrent assets:
Goodwill		22,139
Software		18,802		7 years
Customer relationships		6,200		10 years
Deferred income taxes		4,075
Other noncurrent assets		96

Total assets acquired		53,169

Current liabilities acquired		3,419

Net assets acquired	$	49,750

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company made adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation as additional information became available to software, customer relationships, deferred revenue, and deferred income taxes. These adjustments and any resulting adjustments to the statements of income were not material to the Company’s previously reported operating results or financial position.

Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in the goodwill (which is not tax deductible) include the acquisition of management, technical, and services personnel with the skills to support products of the Company in addition to the enhanced focus on product innovation and enabling cross-selling opportunities when coupled with the Company’s suite of payments products. Pro forma results are not presented because they are not material.

North Data Uruguay S.A.

On May 24, 2012, the Company closed the acquisition of North Data Uruguay S.A. North Data had been a long-term partner of the Company, serving customers in South America in sales, service and support functions. The addition of the North Data team to the Company reinforces its commitment to serve the Latin American market.

The aggregate purchase price of North Data was $4.6 million, which included cash acquired of $0.1 million. The consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition, including $3.5 million of goodwill and $2.2 million of customer relationships with a weighted-average useful life of 12.6 years.

Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in the goodwill (which is not tax deductible) include the acquisition of management, sales, and services personnel with the skills to market and support products of the Company in the Latin America region. Pro forma results are not presented because they are not material.

S1 Corporation

On February 10, 2012, the Company completed the exchange offer for S1 Corporation and all its subsidiaries. The acquisition was effectively closed on February 13, 2012 for approximately $368.7 million in cash and 5.9 million shares of the Company’s stock, including 95,500 shares reissued from Treasury stock, resulting in a total purchase price of $587.3 million (the “Merger”). The combination of the Company and S1 has created a leader in the global enterprise payments industry. The combined company has enhanced scale, breadth, and additional capabilities, as well as a complementary suite of products that will better serve the entire spectrum of financial institutions, processors and retailers.

Under the terms of the transaction, S1 stockholders could elect to receive $10.00 in cash or 0.3148 shares of the Company’s stock for each S1 share they owned, subject to proration, such that in the aggregate 33.8% of S1 shares were exchanged for the Company’s shares and 66.2% were exchanged for cash. No S1 shareholders received fractional shares of the Company’s stock. Instead, the total number of shares that each holder of S1 common stock received was rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the Company paid cash for any resulting fractional share determined by multiplying the fraction by $34.14.

Each outstanding option to acquire S1 common stock was canceled and terminated at the effective time of the Merger and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration with respect to the number of shares of S1 common stock that would have been issuable upon a net exercise of such option, assuming the market value of the S1 common stock at the time of such exercise was equal to the value of the merger consideration as of the close of trading on the day immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger. Any outstanding option with a per share exercise price that was greater than or equal to such amount was cancelled and terminated and no payment was made with respect thereto. In addition, each S1 restricted stock unit award outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was fully vested and cancelled, and each holder of such awards became entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each share of S1 common stock into which the vested portion of the awards would otherwise have been converted. Each S1 restricted stock award was vested immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger and was entitled to receive the Merger Consideration.

Additionally, the Company had previously purchased 1,107,000 shares of S1 stock that were held as available-for-sale securities prior to the acquisition date. The fair value of those shares as of February 13, 2012, has been included in the total purchase price with the previously unrealized gain of approximately $1.6 million being recognized as a gain and included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company used $73.7 million of its cash balance for the acquisition in addition to $295.0 million of senior bank financing arranged through Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. See Note 6, Debt, for terms of the financing arrangement.

The consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition.

The purchase price of S1 Corporation’s common stock as of the date of acquisition was comprised of (in thousands):


	Amount
Cash payments to S1 shareholders	$	365,918
Issuance of ACI common stock		204,857

The Company incurred approximately $6.1 million in transaction related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2012, including fees to the investment bank, legal and other professional fees, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company has included the financial results of S1 in its consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. S1 contributed an estimated $161.9 million in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2012. S1 had an estimated $6.9 million in operating losses for the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes non-recurring severance and accelerated share-based compensation expense related to the integration activities.

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company made adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation as additional information became available to various income tax accounts. These adjustments and any resulting adjustments to the statements of income were not material to the Company’s previously reported operating results or financial position.

Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in the goodwill (which is not tax deductible) include the acquisition of management, sales, and technology personnel with the skills to market new and existing products of the Company, enhanced global product capabilities, and complementary products and customers.

The pro forma financial information in the table below presents the combined historical results of the combined Company as if the acquisition had occurred January 1, 2011 (in thousands, except per share data). The pro forma information is shown for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of future results of operations of the Company or results of operations of the Company that would have actually occurred had the transactions been in effect for the periods presented. This pro forma information is not intended to represent or be indicative of actual results had the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of each period, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results and does not reflect potential synergies, integration costs, or other such costs or savings. Certain pro forma adjustments have been made to net income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 to give effect to estimated adjustments to expenses to remove the amortization on eliminated S1 historical identifiable intangible assets and added amortization expense for the value of identified intangibles acquired in the acquisition (primarily acquired software, customer relationships, trade names, and covenants not to compete), adjustments to interest expense to reflect the elimination of preexisting S1 debt and added estimated interest expense on the Company’s Term Credit Facility and additional borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and to eliminate share-based compensation expense for eliminated positions. Additionally, certain one-time transaction expenses that are a direct result of the acquisition have been excluded from the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

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 December 31, 2012, the Company had up to $62 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 used 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 $12.8 million, $11.8 million of which were paid at December 31, 2011 with the remainder paid as of December 31, 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 17, International Business Machines Corporation Alliance Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company made a $6.0 million payment on the Revolving Credit Facility.

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 December 31, 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2012

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

• Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 Inputs—Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Available-for-Sale Securities. Equity securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. The Company’s equity securities of $10.6 million at December 31, 2011 were comprised entirely of S1 Corporation common stock. The Company utilized quoted prices from an active exchange market to fair value its equity securities. The Company acquired S1 Corporation during the first quarter of 2012, subsequently the S1 common stock has been delisted and all S1 assets and liabilities have been consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $1.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 related to price appreciation of the S1 shares held prior to the acquisition date. See Note 2 for further discussion.

The Company assesses its classifications within the fair value hierarchy at each reporting period. There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented in the table below.

The fair values of cash equivalents approximate the carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The estimated fair value of total debt was $381.5 million and $76.8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates (level 2 of the fair value hierarchy) compared to the carrying value of $374.3 million and $75.0 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Segment Information

12. Segment Information

The Company’s chief operating decision maker, together with other senior management personnel, currently focus their review of consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based on reporting of operating results, including revenues and operating income, for the geographic regions of the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific and the Corporate segment. The Company’s products are sold and supported through distribution networks covering these three geographic regions, with each distribution network having its own sales force. The Company supplements its distribution networks with independent reseller and/or distributor arrangements. All administrative costs that are not directly attributable or reasonably allocable to a geographic segment are tracked in the Corporate segment. As such, the Company has concluded that its three geographic regions are its reportable segments.

The Company allocates segment support expenses such as global product development, business operations, and product management based upon percentage of revenue per segment. Depreciation and amortization costs are allocated as a percentage of the headcount by segment. The Corporate line item consists of the corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to operating segments. Corporate overhead costs relate to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, merger and acquisition activity and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and software as well as other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

13. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Company’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), a total of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to eligible employees. Participating employees are permitted to designate up to the lesser of $25,000, or 10% of their annual base compensation, for the purchase of common stock under the ESPP. Purchases under the ESPP are made one calendar month after the end of each fiscal quarter. The price for shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP is 85% of the stock’s fair market value on the last business day of the three-month participation period. Shares issued under the ESPP during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, totaled 40,798, 40,669, and 57,734, respectively.

Additionally, the discount offered pursuant to the Company’s ESPP discussed above is 15%, which exceeds the 5% non-compensatory guideline in ASC 718 and exceeds the Company’s estimated cost of raising capital. Consequently, the entire 15% discount to employees is deemed to be compensatory for purposes of calculating expense using a fair value method. Compensation cost related to the ESPP for each of the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $0.2 million.

On July 24, 2007, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the ESPP to extend the term of the ESPP by ten years to April 30, 2018. The term of the amended ESPP commenced May 1, 2008 and continues until April 30, 2018 subject to earlier termination by the Company’s board of directors.

Stock Incentive Plans – Active Plans

The Company has a 2005 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2005 Incentive Plan”), under which shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to eligible employees or non-employee directors of the Company. The 2005 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance awards and other awards. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued or transferred in connection with awards granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan is the sum of (i) 3,000,000 shares and (ii) any shares represented by outstanding options that had been granted under designated terminated stock option plans that are subsequently forfeited, expire or are canceled without delivery of the Company’s common stock.

On July 24, 2007, the stockholders of the Company approved the First Amendment to the 2005 Incentive Plan which increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 and contained certain other amendments, including an amendment to provide that the exercise price for any options granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan, as amended, may not be less than the market value per share of common stock on the date of grant. On June 14, 2012, the stockholders of the Company approved the Second Amendment to the 2005 Incentive Plan which increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan from 5,000,000 to 7,750,000.

Stock options granted pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Plan are granted at an exercise price not less than the market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Prior to the adoption of the First Amendment to the 2005 Incentive Plan, stock options granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan were granted with an exercise price not less than the market value per share of common stock on the date immediately preceding the date of grant. Under the 2005 Incentive Plan, the term of the outstanding options may not exceed ten years. Vesting of options is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, the administrator of the 2005 Incentive Plan, and can vary based upon the individual award agreements.

Performance awards granted pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Plan become payable upon the achievement of specified management objectives. Each performance award specifies: (i) the number of performance shares or units granted, (ii) the period of time established to achieve the management objectives, which may not be less than one year from the grant date, (iii) the management objectives and a minimum acceptable level of achievement as well as a formula for determining the number of performance shares or units earned if performance is at or above the minimum level but short of full achievement of the management objectives, and (iv) any other terms deemed appropriate.

Restricted stock awards granted pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Plan have requisite service periods of three and four years and vest in increments of 33% and 25%, respectively, on the anniversary of the grant date. Under each arrangement, stock is issued without direct cost to the employee.

In relation to the acquisition of S1 Corporation discussed in Note 2, the Company amended the S1 Corporation 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as previously amended and restated (the “S1 2003 Incentive Plan”). Restricted share awards (“RSAs”) were granted to S1 employees by S1 Corporation prior to the acquisition by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement (“Transaction RSAs”) under the S1 2003 Incentive Plan. These are the only equity awards currently outstanding under the S1 2003 Incentive Plan and no further grants will be made.

Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement with S1, upon the acquisition, the S1 Transaction RSAs were converted to RSAs of the Company’s stock. These awards have requisite service periods of four years and vest in increments of 25% on the anniversary of the original grant date of November 9, 2011. If an employee is terminated without cause within 12 months from the acquisition date, the RSAs 100% vest. Stock is issued without direct cost to the employee. The RSA grants provide for the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock, if any, to the participant during the requisite service period (vesting period) and the participant has voting rights for each share of common stock. The conversion of the Transaction RSAs was treated as a modification and as such, they were valued immediately prior to and after modification. The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSAs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The incremental fair value as measure upon modification will be recognized on a straight-line basis from modification date through the end of the requisite service period.

Stock Incentive Plans – Terminated Plans with Options Outstanding

Upon adoption of the 2005 Incentive Plan in March 2005, the Board terminated the following stock option plans of the Company: (i) the 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended, (ii) the MDL Amended and Restated Employee Share Option Plan, as amended (iii) the 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended (iv) the 1997 Management Stock Option Plan, as amended (v) the 1996 Stock Option Plan, as amended; and (vi) the 1994 Stock Option Plan, as amended. Termination of these stock option plans did not affect any options outstanding under these plans immediately prior to termination thereof.

The Company had a 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan that was terminated in March 2005 whereby 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance to eligible non-employee directors of the Company. The term of the outstanding options is ten years. All outstanding options under this plan are fully vested.

The Company had a 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended, that expired in February 2009 whereby 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance to eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The term of the outstanding options is 10 years. The options generally vest annually over a period of three or four years. All outstanding options under this plan are fully vested.

The Company had a 1996 Stock Option Plan that was terminated in March 2005 whereby 1,008,000 shares of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance to eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-employee members of the board of directors. The term of the outstanding options is ten years. The options generally vest annually over a period of four years.

The Company had a 1994 Stock Option Plan that was terminated in March 2005 whereby 1,910,976 shares of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance to eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The term of the outstanding options is ten years. The stock options vest ratably over a period of four years.

A summary of stock options issued under the various Stock Incentive Plans previously described and changes is as follows:


	Number of Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price ($)		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value of In-the-Money Options ($)
Outstanding, December 31, 2009		3,556,873		$	20.72

Exercised		(847,301	)		19.74
Forfeited		(105,540	)		22.19

Outstanding, December 31, 2012		2,968,582		$	27.15		5.28	$	49,151,503
Exercisable, December 31, 2012		1,840,304		$	24.44		4.49	$	35,426,182

At December 31, 2012, we expect that 94.3% of options granted will vest over the vesting period.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $20.56, $14.00, and $12.22, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $17.3 million, $6.7 million, and $1.9 million, respectively.

The fair value of options granted in the respective fiscal years was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, a pricing model acceptable under ASC 718, with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Years Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Expected life (years)		6.2			5.9			5.9
Risk-free interest rate		0.8	%		1.4	%		2.3	%
Expected volatility		51.4	%		50.6	%		50.8	%
Expected dividend yield		—			—			—

Expected volatilities are based on the Company’s historical common stock volatility derived from historical stock price data for historic periods commensurate with the options’ expected life. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, based primarily on historical employee option exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on United States Treasury zero coupon issues with a term equal to the expected life at the date of grant of the options. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has historically paid no dividends and does not anticipate dividends to be paid in the future.

Long-term Incentive Program Performance Share Awards

During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Incentive Plan, the Company granted long-term incentive program performance share awards (“LTIP Performance Shares”). These LTIP Performance Shares are earned, if at all, based upon the achievement, over a specified period that must not be less than one year and is typically a three-year performance period, of performance goals related to (i) the compound annual growth over the performance period in the sales for the Company as determined by the Company, and (ii) the cumulative operating income over the performance period as determined by the Company. In no event will any of the LTIP Performance Shares become earned if the Company’s sales growth or cumulative operating income is below a predetermined minimum threshold level at the conclusion of the performance period. Assuming achievement of the predetermined sales growth and cumulative operating income threshold levels, up to 200% of the LTIP Performance Shares may be earned upon achievement of performance goals equal to or exceeding the maximum target levels for the performance goals over the performance period. Management must evaluate, on a quarterly basis, the probability that the threshold performance goals will be achieved, if at all, and the anticipated level of attainment in order to determine the amount of compensation costs to record in the consolidated financial statements.

During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company revised the expected attainment for the awards granted in fiscal 2009 from 150% to 200% and the revised the awards granted in fiscal 2010 from 100% to 175% due to changes in forecasted sales and operating income. No revisions to the attainment assumptions were made in the year ended 2012. The expected attainment rates for the 2011 and 2012 grants are 100%.

At December 8, 2012, the LTIPs granted in 2009 were earned by the employees and the shares are expected to be issued in the first quarter of 2013. If a grantee voluntarily leaves the Company before issuance, they will be required to forfeit their LTIP awards. As such, the LTIP awards granted in fiscal 2009 are not vested until they are issued to the individuals in 2013.

A summary of the nonvested LTIP Performance Shares is as follows:


Nonvested LTIP Performance Shares	Number of Shares at Expected Attainment			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2009		216,150		$	16.52
Granted		207,180			26.29

Restricted Share Awards

During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Incentive Plan, the Company granted restricted share awards (“RSAs”). The awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 have requisite service periods of three years and vest in increments of 33% on the anniversary of the grant dates. The awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2009, have a requisite service period of four years and vest in increments of 25% on the anniversary of the grant dates. Under each arrangement, stock is issued without direct cost to the employee. The Company estimates the fair value of the RSAs based upon the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. The RSA grants provide for the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock, if any, to the participant during the requisite service period (vesting period) and the participant has voting rights for each share of common stock. The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSAs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

A summary of nonvested RSAs are as follows:


Nonvested Restricted Share Awards	Restricted Share Awards			Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2009		314,548		$	17.94

Forfeited		(19,276	)		35.41

Nonvested as of December 31, 2012		50,244		$	35.41

During the year ended December 31, 2012, 100,685 shares of the Transaction RSAs vested. The Company withheld 38,167 of those shares to pay the employees’ portion of the minimum payroll withholding taxes.

As of December 31, 2012, there were unrecognized compensation costs of $10.4 million related to nonvested stock options, $3.9 million related to the nonvested RSAs, and $16.4 million related to the LTIP performance shares, which the Company expects to recognize over weighted-average periods of 2.4 years, 2.7 years and 2.4 years, respectively.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses recognized under ASC 718 during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 related to stock options, LTIP Performance Shares, RSAs, and the ESPP of $15.2 million, $11.3 million, and $7.8 million, respectively, with corresponding tax benefits of $5.5 million, $4.1 million, and $2.9 million, respectively. Tax benefits in excess of the option’s grant date fair value are classified as financing cash flows. Estimated forfeiture rates, stratified by employee classification, have been included as part of the Company’s calculations of compensation costs. The Company recognizes compensation costs for stock option awards which vest with the passage of time with only service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Cash received from option exercises for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $16.7 million, $4.5 million, $3.1 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises totaled $6.3 million, $2.5 million, and $0.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

The countries having the greatest impact on the tax rate adjustment line shown in the above table as “Foreign tax rate differential” for the year ended December 31, 2010 are Ireland and United Kingdom.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences in the timing of the recognition of certain income and expense items for tax and financial accounting purposes. The sources of these differences at each balance sheet date are as follows (in thousands):


	December 31,
	2012			2011
Deferred income tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	99,021		$	5,382
Foreign tax credits		19,359			1,909
Compensation		20,668			19,466

Gross deferred income tax assets		178,496			56,230
Less: valuation allowance		(37,941	)		(8,135	)

Net deferred income tax assets	$	140,555		$	48,095

Deferred income tax liabilities:
Depreciation and amortization	$	(57,957	)	$	(8,685	)

Total deferred income tax liabilities		(57,957	)		(8,685	)

Net deferred income taxes	$	82,598		$	39,410

Deferred income taxes / liabilities included in the balance sheet are:
Deferred income tax asset - current	$	34,342		$	25,944
Deferred income tax asset - noncurrent		63,370			13,466
Deferred income tax liability - current		(174	)		—
Deferred income tax liability - noncurrent		(14,940	)		—

Net deferred income taxes	$	82,598		$	39,410

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers projected future taxable income, carryback opportunities and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the valuation allowances recorded. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $29.8 million which relates primarily to tax attributes from acquisitions.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had domestic tax net operating losses (“NOLs”) of $205.8 million which will begin to expire in 2018. The Company had foreign tax NOLs of $95.0 million, of which $83.8 million may be utilized over an indefinite life, with the remainder expiring over the next 11 years. The Company has provided a $6.7 million valuation allowance against the tax benefit associated with the foreign NOLs.

The Company had U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2012 of $17.8 million, for which a $7.1 million valuation allowance has been provided. The U.S. foreign tax credits will begin to expire in 2014. The Company also had domestic general business credit carryforwards at December 31, 2012 of $4.4 million relating to the pre-acquisition periods of acquired companies, which will begin to expire in 2020.

The unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $13.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, all of which is included in other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Of these amounts, $12.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, represent the net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective income tax rate in respective years.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31 is as follows (in thousands):


	2012			2011			2010
Balance of unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year	$	4,012		$	8,414		$	10,916
Increases for tax positions of prior years		10,729			—			398
Decreases for tax positions of prior years		(4	)		(310	)		—
Increases for tax positions established for the current period		49			750			421
Decreases for settlements with taxing authorities		(27	)		(36	)		(3,000	)
Reductions resulting from lapse of applicable statute of limitation		(1,697	)		(4,678	)		(308	)
Adjustment resulting from foreign currency translation		17			(128	)		(13	)

Balance of unrecognized tax benefits at end of year	$	13,079		$	4,012		$	8,414

The increases for tax positions of prior years for 2012 in the above table are from acquisitions completed during 2012.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and local jurisdictions, and many foreign jurisdictions. The U.S., Canada, India, Ireland, South Africa, and United Kingdom are the main taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The years open for audit vary depending on the tax jurisdiction. In the U.S., the Company’s tax returns for years following 2008 are open for audit. In the foreign jurisdictions, the tax returns open for audit generally vary by jurisdiction between 2006 and 2012.

The Company’s Indian income tax returns covering fiscal years 2002 through 2006 and 2010 through 2011 are under audit by the Indian tax authority. Other foreign subsidiaries could face challenges from various foreign tax authorities. It is not certain that the local authorities will accept the Company’s tax positions. The Company believes its tax positions comply with applicable tax law and intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, differing positions on certain issues could be upheld by tax authorities, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $1.6 million due to the settlement of various audits and the expiration of statutes of limitations. The Company accrues interest related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense or interest income and recognizes penalties related to uncertain tax positions in other income or other expense. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively is accrued for the payment of interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities. The aggregate amount of interest and penalties recorded in the statement of income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 is $(0.2) million, $(0.5) million, and $0.4 million, respectively.

The undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries of approximately $142.9 million are considered to be permanently reinvested. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes has been provided for such undistributed earnings. The determination of the additional U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes that have not been provided is not practicable. Undistributed foreign earnings of $54.2 million are from foreign subsidiaries acquired during 2012.

On January 2, 2013 the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was enacted, which included retroactive reinstatement of several tax laws to January 1, 2012. The effects on the Company of these retroactive changes in the tax law related to fiscal 2012 is estimated to be between $1.0 million and $2.0 million, which will be recognized as a benefit to income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the quarter in which the law was enacted.

Commitments and Contingencies

Dec. 31, 2012

Commitments and Contingencies

16. Commitments and Contingencies

In accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees, the Company recognizes the fair value for guarantee and indemnification arrangements it issues or modifies, if these arrangements are within the scope of the interpretation. In addition, the Company must continue to monitor the conditions that are subject to the guarantees and indemnifications as required under the previously existing generally accepted accounting principles, in order to identify if a loss has occurred. If the Company determines it is probable that a loss has occurred, then any such estimable loss would be recognized under those guarantees and indemnifications. Under its customer agreements, the Company may agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless its customers from and against certain losses, damages and costs arising from claims alleging that the use of its software infringes the intellectual property of a third-party. Historically, the Company has not been required to pay material amounts in connection with claims asserted under these provisions and accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability relating to such provisions.

Under its customer agreements, the Company also may represent and warrant to customers that its software will operate substantially in conformance with its documentation and that the services the Company performs will be performed in a workmanlike manner, by personnel reasonably qualified by experience and expertise to perform their assigned tasks. Historically, only minimal costs have been incurred relating to the satisfaction of warranty claims. In addition, from time to time, the Company may guarantee the performance of a contract on behalf of one or more of its subsidiaries, or a subsidiary may guarantee the performance of a contract on behalf of another subsidiary.

Other guarantees include promises to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company’s executive officers, directors and certain other key officers. The Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that it will indemnify, and advance expenses to, its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. The indemnification covers any expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by a person, by reason of the fact that such person is or was or has agreed to be a director or officer, in connection with the investigation, defense and settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim. The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes the use of indemnification agreements and the Company enters into such agreements with its directors and certain officers from time to time. These indemnification agreements typically provide for a broader scope of the Company’s obligation to indemnify the directors and officers than set forth in the certificate of incorporation. The Company’s contractual indemnification obligations under these agreements are in addition to the respective directors’ and officers’ rights under the certificate of incorporation or under Delaware law.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space and equipment under operating leases that run through October 2028. The leases that the Company has entered into do not impose restrictions as to the Company’s ability to pay dividends or borrow funds, or otherwise restrict the Company’s ability to conduct business. On a limited basis, certain of the lease arrangements include escalation clauses which provide for rent adjustments due to inflation changes with the expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease payments subject to inflation adjustments do not represent a significant portion of the Company’s future minimum lease payments. A number of the leases provide renewal options, but in all cases such renewal options are at the election of the Company. Certain of the lease agreements provide the Company with the option to purchase the leased equipment at its fair market value at the conclusion of the lease term.

Total operating lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $26.5 million, $20.0 million, and $17.8 million, respectively.

Aggregate minimum operating lease payments under these agreements in future fiscal years are as follows (in thousands):


Fiscal Year Ending December 31,	Operating Leases
2013		15,505
2014		11,320
2015		9,533
2016		7,368
2017		6,601
Thereafter		37,471

Total minimum lease payments	$	87,798

Capital Leases

With the termination of the IT Outsourcing agreement discussed in Note 18, the Company is no longer committed to material leases of property under capital lease agreements at December 31, 2012.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, the Company believes would be likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Indemnities

Under certain customer contracts acquired in the acquisition of S1, the Company indemnifies customers for certain matters including third party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of our products. Our maximum potential exposure under indemnification arrangements can range from a specified dollar amount to an unlimited amount, depending on the nature of the transactions and the agreements. The Company has recorded an accrual for estimated losses for demands for indemnification that have been tendered by certain customers. The Company does not have any reason to believe that we will be required to make any material payments under these indemnity provisions in excess of the balance accrued at December 31, 2012.

International Business Machines Corporation Alliance

17. International Business Machines Corporation Alliance

On December 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Master Alliance Agreement (“Alliance”) with IBM relating to joint marketing and optimization of the Company’s electronic payments application software and IBM’s middleware and hardware platforms, tools and services. On March 17, 2008, the Company and IBM entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Alliance (“Amendment No.1” and included hereafter in all references to the “Alliance”), which changed the timing of certain payments to be made by IBM. Under the terms of the Alliance, each party would retain ownership of its respective intellectual property and would independently determine product offering pricing to customers. In connection with the formation of the Alliance, the Company granted warrants to IBM to purchase up to 1,427,035 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $27.50 per share and up to 1,427,035 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $33.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable for five years. At the date of issuance, the Company utilized a valuation model prepared by a third-party to assist management in estimating the fair value of the common stock warrants.

IBM exercised warrants to purchase 11,470 shares of the Company’s common stock at $27.50 per share and 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $33.00 per share during the year ended December 31, 2012, for which the Company received $11.9 million in cash.

On September 21, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with IBM to repurchase the remaining common stock warrants held by IBM to purchase 1,415,565 shares of the Company’s stock at $27.50 per share and 1,077,035 shares of the Company’s common stock at $33.00 per share. The total amount paid to IBM for these warrants was $29.6 million. This repurchase was conducted pursuant to the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program. The Company used $24.0 million from its Revolving Credit Facility and $5.6 million of cash on hand to fund this repurchase.

Under the terms of the Alliance, on December 16, 2007, IBM paid the Company an initial non-refundable payment of $33.3 million in consideration for the estimated fair value of the warrants described above. The fair value of the warrants granted, as subsequently determined by an independent third-party appraiser, was approximately $24.0 million and is recorded as common stock warrants in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. No warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2012. The remaining balance of $9.3 million was related to prepaid incentives and other obligations and was recorded in the Alliance agreement liability at December 31, 2007.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received an additional payment from IBM of $37.3 million in accordance with the terms of Amendment No. 1. This payment has been recorded in the Alliance agreement liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. This amount represents a prepayment of funding for technical enablement milestones and incentive payments to be earned under the Alliance and related agreements and, accordingly, a portion of this payment is subject to refund by the Company to IBM under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2011, $20.7 million was refundable subject to achievement of future milestones. This liability was paid in December 2012.

The costs incurred by the Company related to internally developed software associated with the technical enablement milestones were capitalized in accordance with ASC 985-20, Software – Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, when the resulting product reached technological feasibility. Prior to reaching technological feasibility, the costs were expensed as incurred. Reimbursements from IBM for expenditures determined to be direct and incremental to satisfying the technical enablement milestones were used to offset the amounts expensed or capitalized as described above but not in excess of non-refundable cash received. The company incurred no costs related to the fulfillment of technical enablement milestones in 2012. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $1.9 million and $9.9 million of costs related to fulfillment of the technical enablement milestones, respectively. The reimbursement of these costs was recorded as a reduction of the Alliance agreement liability and a reduction in capitalizable costs under ASC 985-20 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and a reduction of operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Changes in the Alliance agreement liability were as follows (in thousands):


	Alliance Agreement Liability
Balance, December 31, 2010	$	22,584
Costs related to fulfillment of technical enablement milestones		(1,917	)

Balance, December 31, 2011		20,667
Payment of refundable portion of IBM payments		(20,667	)

Balance, December 31, 2012	$	—

As the Alliance agreement terminated during the year ended 2012, the entire $20.7 million Alliance agreement liability was paid in December 2012. No Alliance Agreement liability remains in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

The entire $20.7 million Alliance agreement liability was classified as short-term in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011.

International Business Machines Corporation Information Technology Outsourcing Agreement

18. International Business Machines Corporation Information Technology Outsourcing Agreement

On March 17, 2008, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement (“Outsourcing Agreement”) with IBM to outsource the Company’s internal information technology (“IT”) environment to IBM. Under the terms of the Outsourcing Agreement, IBM provided the Company with global IT infrastructure services including the following services, which services were provided by the Company: cross functional delivery management services, asset management services, help desk services, end user services, server system management services, storage management services, data network services, enterprise security management services and disaster recovery/business continuity plans (collectively, the “IT Services”). The Company retains responsibility for its security policy management and on-demand business operations.

The initial term of the Outsourcing Agreement was seven years, commencing on March 17, 2008. Under the Outsourcing Agreement, the Company retains the right to terminate the agreement both for cause and for its convenience. However, upon any termination of the Outsourcing Agreement by the Company for any reason (other than for material breach by IBM), the Company would be required to pay a termination charge to IBM, which charge may be material.

On April 1, 2012, the Company provided notice of termination for the Master Services Agreement with International Business Machines to outsource the Company’s internal information technology environment. The effective date of the termination was December 31, 2012.

The Company has recorded the $3.0 million termination fee in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2012 in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations. The termination fee was paid on January 31, 2013.

As a part of the original Outsourcing Agreement, IBM provided the Company with certain transition services required to transition the Company’s IT operations embodied in the IT Services in accordance with a mutually agreed upon transition plan (the “Transition Services”). Transition Services were completed approximately 21 months after the effective date of the Outsourcing Agreement and the Company paid approximately $6.7 million for the Transition Services. These Transition Services were recognized as incurred based on the capital or expense nature of the cost. Of the $6.7 million recognized, approximately $6.5 million has been paid, and the remaining $0.2 million was forgiven as a part of the Company’s termination agreement with IBM. This $0.2 million was recognized as a gain in the consolidated statements of income.
