Form of Solvency Certificate

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

[●], 2021

    This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is delivered pursuant to Section [●] of the [●], dated as of the date hereof among Priority Technology Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [●]. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the [●].

I, [●], solely in my capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, do hereby certify on behalf of the Company that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the [Closing Date Transactions] [Acquisition Date Transactions] contemplated by the [●]:

The sum of the debt (including contingent liabilities) of Priority Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, does not exceed the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.

The present fair saleable value of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable Liabilities (including contingent Liabilities) of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, or their debts as they become absolute and matured.

The capital of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not unreasonably small in relation to their business, on a consolidated basis, as contemplated on the date hereof.

Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, have not incurred and do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts including contingent obligations, beyond their ability to pay such debts as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise).

For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability has been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5).

In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, I have made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the consummation of the [Closing Date Transactions][Acquisition Date Transactions] contemplated by the [●].
