(o) Environmental Matters

No Loan Party has received any notice of material environmental liability, claim, demand, or action under any applicable Environmental Law, and to my knowledge, no material environmental condition exists on any property owned, leased, or operated by the Loan Parties that could reasonably be expected to give rise to material environmental liability or require material remediation under applicable Environmental Laws. The Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessment reports delivered in connection with the closing did not identify any recognized environmental conditions that could reasonably be expected to result in material environmental liability of any Loan Party.

(p) Material Agreements

The following material pre-lease agreements remain in full force and effect as of the Closing Date, and no default, breach, or event of termination has occurred or is continuing thereunder:

(i) Pre-Lease Letter of Intent with Stratos Cloud Services, Inc., dated March 8, 2024, covering 30 MW of critical IT load capacity at the Virginia campus, with a five (5)-year initial term and annual rent of $14,400,000; and

To my knowledge, each counterparty to the foregoing agreements is performing its obligations thereunder in all material respects, and no event or condition exists that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach by any party thereunder.

Section 3 — No Default or Event of Default

I hereby certify that no Default or Event of Default (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing as of the Closing Date, June 3, 2024, or would result from the initial borrowing contemplated on the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I specifically confirm that the Borrower is in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the following financial covenants:

(i) Maximum Net Leverage Ratio: The Credit Agreement requires a Maximum Net Leverage Ratio of no greater than 6.00 to 1.00. On a pro forma basis after giving effect to the transactions contemplated on the Closing Date, including the borrowing of the full $950,000,000 Term Loan B, the application of proceeds, and the equity contribution from Thornfield Infrastructure Fund III, LP, the Borrower's pro forma Net Leverage Ratio is 5.35x, calculated as follows:

Net Total Debt: $887,500,000 Adjusted EBITDA (LTM as of March 31, 2024): $165,800,000 Pro Forma Net Leverage Ratio: $887,500,000 ÷ $165,800,000 = 5.35x

This is within the maximum permitted ratio of 6.00x.

(ii) Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio: The Credit Agreement requires a Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of no less than 2.00 to 1.00. The first formal testing date for this covenant is the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024. As of the Closing Date, I am not aware of any circumstances or developments that would reasonably be expected to cause non-compliance with this covenant as of the first testing date or any subsequent testing date.

(iii) Maximum Capital Expenditure Limit: The Credit Agreement sets a maximum Capital Expenditure limit of $325,000,000 for fiscal year 2024. The Borrower has not exceeded, and does not expect to exceed, such limit.

I note for completeness that the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement are to be formally tested commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024, and quarterly thereafter. As of the Closing Date, no conditions exist that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any such covenant.

Section 5 — No Material Adverse Change

I hereby certify that, since March 31, 2024 (the date of the most recent financial statements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date), there has been no change, event, occurrence, condition, or development that has had or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, or prospects of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. No event has occurred that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in any material impairment of the Loan Parties' ability to perform their respective obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 6 — Solvency Confirmation

Reference is made to the separate Solvency Certificate delivered by Rebecca Sung, Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower, dated June 3, 2024, certifying the solvency of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, including without limitation the incurrence of the Term Loan, the payoff of the Greystone mezzanine notes, the payment of transaction fees and expenses, and the receipt of the equity contribution from Thornfield Infrastructure Fund III, LP. A copy of such Solvency Certificate has been delivered to the Administrative Agent contemporaneously herewith.

I have reviewed such Solvency Certificate, and I have no reason to believe that the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries is not solvent as of the Closing Date after giving effect to such transactions. Nothing has come to my attention that would cause me to believe that any of the certifications contained in such Solvency Certificate are inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect.

Section 7 — Post-Closing Items Acknowledgment

I hereby acknowledge that the following post-closing items remain outstanding as of the Closing Date and are to be completed within the timeframes specified in the Credit Agreement (including, where applicable, Schedule 6.14 thereto):

(i) German *Grundbuch* Registration: Registration of the Grundschuld over the Frankfurt campus parcel (Grundbuch von Frankfurt am Main-Ost, Blatt 54321, Flur 12, Flurstück 789) with the competent Grundbuchamt is currently pending. The notarized Grundschuldbestellungsurkunde has been submitted to the Grundbuchamt, and registration is expected to be completed on or before August 31, 2024. The Borrower and the Co-Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to be completed within such timeframe and shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a certified copy of the Grundbuchauszug reflecting such registration upon receipt thereof.

(ii) Supplemental UCC Continuation Filings: Any supplemental UCC-1 continuation statements or amendments as may be required to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests created under the US Security Documents shall be filed within the timeframes required by applicable law.

(iii) Recorded Deed of Trust: Final recorded copies of the Virginia Deed of Trust, as returned by the Loudoun County Circuit Court Clerk's Office bearing the recording stamp, file number, and date of recordation, shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly upon receipt by the Borrower or its counsel.

The Borrower shall comply with all post-closing obligations within the timeframes specified in the Credit Agreement and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the completion of each such item.
