NOTE 11—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is subject to a number of lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal conduct of its business. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, including applicable insurance coverage, it is not expected that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuits or claims against the Company will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters.

On April 20, 2021, an entity acquired in the 2017 merger (the “Rockwater Merger”) with Rockwater Energy Solutions, Inc. (“Rockwater”) formally pled guilty to violations of the Clean Air Act that occurred prior to the Rockwater Merger and entered a plea agreement before the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Entry into this plea agreement has resolved the government’s prosecution related to Rockwater’s altering emissions controls systems on less than 5% of the vehicles in its fleet. The Company made final payments in April 2021 totaling $2.6 million, which was the amount accrued as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and did not incur additional monetary penalties or fines. The total amount paid in settlement of this matter was $4.3 million.
