The fair values of the money market funds were based on recently quoted market prices and reported transactions in an active marketplace. Money market funds are included in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Cash and cash equivalents."
|
(2)
|
The fair value of the cross currency basis swap was derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the swap and the forward curves for foreign currency rates and interest rates adjusted for the counterparty's credit risk. The fair value of the cross currency basis swap is included in "Other noncurrent assets" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the cross currency basis swap.
|
(3)
|
The fair value of the contingent earnout liability for the 2014 acquisition of Buckley Scott Holdings Limited ("Buckley Scott") was e
stimated using an internally-prepared probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value analysis relied upon both Level 2 data (publicly observable data such as market interest rates and capital structures of peer companies) and Level 3 data (internal data such as the Company's operating projections). As such, the liability is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The valuation is sensitive to Level 3 data, with a maximum possible earnout of
$2,017,000
. As such, the fair value is not expected to vary materially from the balance recorded.
The fair value of the contingent earnout liability is included in "Other noncurrent liabilities" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the contingent earnout agreement. The fair value of the earnout was
$1,153,000
at
December 31, 2014
. The change in the Level 3 fair value at
June 30, 2015
was due to foreign currency translation adjustments and inputed interest.

Cash and cash equivalents increased
$10.0 million
, or
$13.1 million
net of currency exchange, primarily due to the decrease in accounts receivable and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other operating expenses.
|
•
|
Accounts receivable decreased
$15.8 million
excluding the effect of the GAB Robins acquisition, and
$13.3 million
excluding the GAB Robins acquisition and foreign currency exchange impacts. This decrease was primarily due to decreased receivables in Legal Settlement Administration, Australia, U.K., and Canada, when compared with
December 31, 2014
balances.
|
•
|
Unbilled revenues increased
$6.8 million
excluding the impact of the GAB Robins acquisition, or
$11.5 million
excluding the GAB Robins acquisition and foreign currency exchange impacts. This increase was primarily due to increased unbilled revenues in Legal Settlement Administration, U.S. Claims Services, the U.K., and Canada, when compared with
December 31, 2014
balances.
|
•
|
Accounts payable, accrued compensation and related costs, and other accrued current liabilities decreased $24.5 million excluding the impact of the GAB Robins acquisition. This decrease was primarily due to the payment of year-end accruals, annual incentive compensation, and the funding of various defined contribution retirement plan obligations.

5.
|
Return of Property and Information

Such property includes, but is not limited to, the original and any copy (regardless of the manner in which it is recorded) of all information provided by the Company to employee or which employee has developed or collected in the scope of Employee’s employment, as well as all Company-issued equipment, supplies, accessories, vehicles, keys, badges, passes, access cards, instruments, tools, devices, computers, mobile phones and devices, flash drives, pagers, materials, documents, plans, records, notebooks, drawings, or papers.

Therefore, during employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of Employee’s relationship with the Company for any reason, at the option either of the Company or Employee, with or without notice, the Employee agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly engage in the Business of the Company or in any competitive business or provide services to a competitive business of the Business, as an owner, partner or agent, or as employee.

|
8.
|
Non-Recruitment of Employees
. While employed by the Company, and for a period of twelve (12) months following the cessation of employment, Employee will not directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit any employee of the Company for the purpose of encouraging, enticing, or causing said employee to terminate employment with the Company.
|
9.
|
Non-Disparagement
. Employee shall not, at any time during the term of employment and thereafter, make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage or be damaging the Company or its respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations.
|
10.
|
Remedies
. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement is reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of Crawford, (b) any breach of this Agreement by Employee will cause Crawford substantial and irreparable harm, and (c) Employee has received good, valuable and adequate consideration in exchange for the covenants contained in this Agreement. Consequently, if the Employee breaches this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any and all remedies available at law. Moreover, to the extent Employee breaches this Agreement, the time periods set forth herein are continued for the period of Employee’s breach of the Agreement. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and attorney’s fees in any proceeding brought under this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against the Company, including any dispute relating to the termination of this Agreement, shall not constitute a defense to enforcement of said covenants by injunction.
|
11.
|
Construction of Agreement
. The covenants contained herein shall be presumed to be enforceable, and any reading causing unenforceability shall yield to a construction permitting enforcement. If any single covenant or clause shall be found unreasonable, unenforceable or both, it shall be modified as appropriate to protect the Company’s interests or severed and the remaining covenants and clauses shall be enforced in accordance with the tenor of the Agreement. In the event a court should determine not to enforce a covenant as written due to overbreadth, the parties specifically agree that said covenant shall be enforced to the extent reasonable, whether said revisions are in time, territory, or scope of prohibited activities. This Agreement represents the entire understanding between Employee and the Company on the matters addressed herein and supersedes any such prior agreements and may not be modified, changed or altered by any promise or statement by the Company until such modification has been approved in writing and signed by both parties. The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by any employee shall not be construed as a waiver of rights with respect to any subsequent breach by Employee.
|
12.
|
At-Will Status
. Nothing in this Agreement shall change or alter the status of Employee’s employment as being “at-will.” As such, either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason.
|
13.
|
Choice of Law
. This Agreement and any and all disputes related to or arising from this Agreement shall be governed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Georgia.
|
14.
|
Survival
. This Agreement shall remain in effect, unless modified in writing signed by both Employee and on behalf of the Company, throughout the course of Employee’s employment with the Company and shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company.
