In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriter, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. In the case of any such separate firm for the Selling Stockholders and such control persons of any Selling Stockholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the persons named asattorneys-in-fact for the Selling Stockholders under the Powers of Attorney. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party

agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 11(a), 11(b) or 11(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 11(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 11(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by each Selling Stockholder and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by (x) the Company or the Selling Stockholders or (y) by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 11 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The Selling Stockholders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 11(e) are several, and not joint, and shall be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by each Selling Stockholder.

(f) The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined bypro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 11(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 11(e) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 11 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 11 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Stockholders contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, any Selling Stockholder or any person controlling any Selling Stockholder, or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

(h) The provisions contained in this Section 11 shall not affect any agreement among the Company and the Selling Stockholders with respect to indemnification or contribution.

12. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, the NYSE or the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in anyover-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

13. Effectiveness; Default. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more thanone-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriter shall be obligated in the proportions that the number of Shares set forth opposite its name inSchedule II bears to the aggregate number of Shares set forth opposite the names of thenon-defaulting Underwriter, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 13 by an amount in excess ofone-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more thanone-tenth of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company and the Selling Stockholders for the purchase of such Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of thenon-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholders. In any such case either you or the relevant Selling Stockholders shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or any Selling Stockholder to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or any Selling Stockholder shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, suchnon-performing party will reimburse the Underwriters for all documentedout-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

14. Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies its clients, including the Company and the Selling Stockholders, which information may include the name and address of its clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify its clients.

15. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire

agreement between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares. This Agreement does not amend or modify any other agreement among the Company and Selling Stockholders.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

17. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

18. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

19. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to (i) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, 200 West Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10282 and (ii) Barclays Capital Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10019, Attn: Syndicate Registration, Fax:646-834-8133; if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to IQVIA Holdings Inc., 100 IMS Drive, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054, Attention: General Counsel, and if to the Selling Stockholders shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address listed onSchedule I hereto underneath such Selling Stockholder’s name.

20. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Barclays Capital Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with IQVIA Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and certain Selling Stockholders of the Company providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the Underwriters of shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

To induce the Underwriters to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 30 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus”) relating to the Public Offering (such period, the “Restricted Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

The immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to:

(a) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock by will or intestate succession,

(b) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock as abona fide gift,

(c) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to any member of the immediate family of the undersigned, or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or the immediate family of the undersigned,

(d) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to partners, members, stockholders or holders of similar equity interests in the undersigned,

(e) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, investment fund or other entity that controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the undersigned, or is wholly-owned by the undersigned and/or by members of the immediate family of the undersigned, or, in the case of an investment fund, that is managed by, or is under common management with, the undersigned,

(f) dispositions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering,

(g) transfers of shares of Common Stock by the undersigned on the date of the Underwriting Agreement in connection withbona fide gifts of shares of Common Stock by certain partners and employees of the undersigned, its affiliates or funds advised by the undersigned or its affiliates to charitable organizations,

(h) dispositions solely in connection with the “cashless” exercise of stock options (the term “cashless” exercise being intended to include the sale of a portion of the option shares or previously owned shares to the Company to cover payment of the exercise price) for the purpose of exercising such stock options solely in the case of termination of employment or board service following death, disability or other than for cause (including sales in respect of tax liabilities arising from such exercise and sale) if such stock options would otherwise expire, provided that any shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise shall be subject to all of the restrictions set forth in this agreement,

(i) dispositions to the Company in exercise of the Company’s right to repurchase or reacquire the undersigned’s securities pursuant to agreements in effect on the date hereof, including without limitation the Company’s equity incentive plans, that permit the Company to repurchase or reacquire such securities upon termination of the undersigned’s services to the Company,

(j) the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Share Repurchase,

(k) sales of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, and

(l) if the undersigned is an individual, sales pursuant to any contract, instruction or plan that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act (a “Plan”) established before the date of the Prospectus;provided, that any filing made under the Exchange Act in connection with such a sale shall disclose that the sale was made pursuant to a Plan entered into on a date before the date of the Prospectus,
