EXHIBIT A

[FORM OF] FINANCIAL CONDITION CERTIFICATE

Date: June 19, 2015

To the Administrative Agent and each of the Incremental Term Loan Lenders party to the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement referred to below:

I, the undersigned, the Chief Financial Officer of Alliance HealthCare Services, Inc. (“Company”), a Delaware corporation, in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity, do hereby certify as of the date hereof that:

1. This Certificate is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Loan Lenders pursuant to the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2015 among Company, the lenders party thereto (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loan Lenders”), and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) (including the Annexes thereto and as amended, updated, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement”), which Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement is being entered into in accordance with Section 2.11 of that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 3, 2013 among Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and the Administrative Agent (as amended, updated, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

2. Assuming the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loans (as defined in the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement):

(a) the fair value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis;

(b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company on its debts and liabilities as they become absolute and matured;

(c) the Company and its Subsidiaries do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, on a consolidated basis, incur debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature; and

(d) the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which the Company’s assets would constitute unreasonably small capital.

For purposes of this Financial Condition Certificate, the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount of liabilities that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, 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 Standard No. 5).


3. For purposes of this Financial Condition Certificate, I, or officers of Company and/or its Subsidiaries under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.

 

  (a) Reviewed (i) the financial statements referred to in Section 5.3A of the Credit Agreement and (ii) the financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2015 delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(i)(b) of the Credit Agreement.

 

  (b) Made inquiries of certain officers of Company and its Subsidiaries that I have deemed necessary as a foundation for this Financial Condition Certificate.

 

  (c) Reviewed to my satisfaction the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, the Credit Agreement Amendment (as defined in the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement) and the other Loan Documents.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has set his hand as of the first day first written above.
