The play is dead as soon as the holder pitches the ball. There's no incomplete pass, the play doesn't end OOB, there's nothing else that happens that causes the clock to stop. Therefore, it's 4th down and the clock continues to run.

The rules that cover when the clock starts/stops are found under Rule 4. I'm confident that you can find the exact rule reference that you need.
