CREDIT AGREEMENT [Abstract]  
CREDIT AGREEMENT
Credit Agreement
On August 19, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facility"), which replaced the Company's previous $100 million line of credit. The Credit Facility consists of a revolving loan commitment of $150 million and a term loan of $50 million. The Credit Facility expires on August 19, 2016. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at either (i) the Base Rate, which is equal to the highest of (a) the Agent's prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 1.50% and (c) the one month reserve adjusted daily LIBOR rate plus 1.50%, or (ii) the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), in each case plus an applicable margin as in effect at each interest calculation date. The applicable margin in effect from time to time is based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. The applicable margins range from 1.25% to 2.00% for LIBOR loans and from 0.25% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans.

Certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations of the Company and all future domestic subsidiaries of the Company also are required to guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility. The Company's obligations are secured by a lien on substantially all of its present and future assets pursuant to a separate security agreement (the "Security Agreement"). In addition, the obligations of each subsidiary guarantor are secured by a lien on substantially all of such subsidiary’s present and future assets pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the "Guaranty Agreement"). The subsidiary guarantees and the collateral under the Security Agreement are subject to release upon fulfillment of certain conditions specified in the Credit Facility, Security Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement.
 
The Credit Facility is available to be used by the Company to, among other things, fund its working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and stock repurchases. The Company used borrowings under the Credit Facility to fund a portion of the Dotomi acquisition described in Note 4 and subsequent stock repurchases. The Company pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving loan commitment amount up to a maximum of 0.35% based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. The agreement also contains customary events of default such as failure to pay interest or principal when due, material inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy events, change of control, a material adverse change in financial condition or operations, or a default of covenant. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the principal and accrued interest under the Credit Facility then outstanding may be declared due and payable. At December 31, 2011, there was $120.0 million outstanding under the revolving loan commitment, and $47.5 million was outstanding under the term loan. The difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the debt outstanding at December 31, 2011 is not material. The term loan requires payments of $2.5 million per quarter on the last day of each calendar quarter beginning with the fourth quarter of 2011. Term loan maturities on a calendar year basis are as follows (in thousands):

The Company has provided various representations and agreed to certain financial covenants including a total leverage ratio, minimum trailing-twelve month EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and certain other non-cash or non-recurring income or expenses) of $100 million through September 2012 and $125 million thereafter, and minimum unrestricted, unencumbered liquid asset requirements. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Credit Facility.

In conjunction with the term loan borrowing under the Credit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to limit its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and fix the interest payments on the term loan. The terms of the swap match the critical terms of the term loan. Under the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of 0.91% and receives one-month LIBOR, which is the benchmark interest rate on the variable rate term loan. The fair value of the swap at December 31, 2011 and its impact on interest expense for the quarter then ended is immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
