Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of May 31, 2018, of Parent, the members were not obligated for debt, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of Parent.

The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company's income tax provision in 2020 and 2021. To date, the Company has elected to defer employer social security payments until the fourth quarter of 2021 when they will begin to be repaid. In addition, as part of the Company’s acquisition of Teledata Communications, Inc. (“TCI”), the Company assumed a $1.8 million liability within current portion of long-term debt, net of issuance costs and a $0.3 million liability within long-term debt, net of issuance costs, as of December 31, 2020 related to an outstanding preacquisition Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan. As a condition of the purchase agreement, the funds were escrowed to cover the outstanding loan balance in the event that TCI did not receive full forgiveness of the loan. The loan was forgiven by the Small Business Association (“SBA”) in June 2021. In August 2021, $2.1 million held in escrow and classified as restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets was released to the sellers of TCI, which was a condition of the acquisition agreement.</span></div><div style="margin-top:12pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company continues to evaluate market and economic conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic as well as current and potential impacts on the Company’s business and financial position.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The Company expects to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which it remains an emerging growth company.</span></div>
