Reference is made to Amendment No. 7 to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Amendment”), among IQVIA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Borrower”), IQVIA Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), the other Guarantors party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the Incremental Term A-2 Dollar Lenders (as defined therein), which amends the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, and as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers, Holdings, the Lenders party thereto from time to time, the Agent, and the other agents party thereto. Pursuant to Section 4(h) of the Amendment, the undersigned hereby certifies, solely in such undersigned’s capacity as President of the Parent Borrower, and not individually, as follows:
As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Amendment (the “Transactions”), including the incurrence of the Incremental Term A-2 Dollar Loans:
a. The fair value of the assets of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries exceeds, on a consolidated basis, their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise;
b. The present fair saleable value of the property of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability, on a consolidated basis, of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured;
c. the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such liabilities become absolute and matured; and
d. the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in, and are not about to engage in, business for which they have unreasonably small capital.
For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that would reasonably be expected to become an actual and matured liability. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Amendment or the Credit Agreement, as applicable.
The undersigned is familiar with the business and financial position of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, the undersigned has made such other investigations and inquiries as the undersigned has deemed appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries after consummation of the Transactions.
