Schedule III

 

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

 

[ ], 2020

 

To the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party to the Amendment referred to below:

 

I, the undersigned chief financial officer of Baldwin Risk Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such facts and circumstances after the date hereof), that:

 

1.       This certificate is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 5(g) of the Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2021 (“Amendment No. 3”), among Borrower, each Lender party thereto, each of the Guarantors party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), which amends that certain

 

Credit Agreement dated as of October 14, 2020 as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of May 7, 2021 and Amendment No. 2, dated as of June 2, 2021, as further amended or otherwise modified from time to time, including by the Amendment No. 3 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

2.       For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:

 

(a)       “Fair Value”

 

The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of Borrower would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.

 

(b)       “Present Fair Salable Value”

 

The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of Borrower are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.

 

(c)       “Liabilities”

 

The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of Borrower, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

 

(d)       “Will be able to pay their Liabilities as they mature”

 

 

 

For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, Borrower will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay its Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of contingent Liabilities) otherwise become payable, in light of business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.

 

(e)       “Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital”

 

Borrower after consummation of the Transactions (as defined in the Amendment) is a going concern and has sufficient capital to reasonably ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date. I understand that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.

 

3.       For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of the Borrower under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.

 

(a)       I have reviewed the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 3.23 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)       I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Agreement.

 

(c)        As chief financial officer of the Borrower, I am familiar with the financial condition of the Borrower.

 

4.       Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of Borrower that after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions (as defined in the Amendment), it is my opinion that (a) the Fair Value of the assets of the Borrower exceeds its Liabilities, (b) the Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of Borrower exceeds its Liabilities; (c) Borrower does not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (d) Borrower will be able to pay its Liabilities as they mature.
