5.1 The undersigned hereby certifies that each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents is true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, true and correct in all respects) as of the date hereof, with the same force and effect as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties are expressly stated to relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned specifically certifies as follows:
(a) Title to Project Site. The Borrower owns good and marketable fee simple title to (i) the Stonebridge Parcel, comprising approximately 62.0 acres as more particularly described in the Deed of Trust, acquired from Blackthorn Realty Group, Inc. for a purchase price of Fifty-Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($58,500,000) pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated June 12, 2025, and (ii) the Meridian Parcel, comprising approximately 19.4 acres as more particularly described in the Deed of Trust, acquired from Meridian Acres LLC for a purchase price of Nineteen Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($19,400,000) pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 8, 2025. Each parcel is owned free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and other title defects, other than (x) the Permitted Exceptions as defined in and set forth on Schedule B to the Deed of Trust and the Lender's title insurance policy, and (y) the lien of the Deed of Trust securing the Loan.
(b) Title Insurance. A lender's title insurance policy (the "Lender's Policy") in the amount of Three Hundred Ninety Million Dollars ($390,000,000) has been issued, or an irrevocable commitment to issue the same has been delivered, by Sovereign Title Insurance Company (Policy No. LTP-2025-391284), acting through its agent Fidelitas Title & Escrow, Inc. (901 N. Washington Street, Suite 400, Alexandria, Virginia 22314), insuring the first-priority lien of the Deed of Trust on the Stonebridge Parcel and the Meridian Parcel, subject only to Permitted Exceptions. Such policy includes all endorsements required by the Loan Agreement, including without limitation ALTA 3.1, 9.1, 9.2, 9.6, 9.7, 17, 17.1, 19, 22, 25, 28, 28.1, and such other endorsements as the Administrative Agent may have reasonably requested.
(c) No Other Indebtedness. The Borrower has not incurred any indebtedness or borrowed any money, other than the indebtedness arising under the Loan Agreement, and has not guaranteed or otherwise become liable for the obligations of any other person, except as expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement.
(d) No Litigation. No litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, or other legal or administrative proceeding is pending or, to the actual knowledge of the Borrower (after due inquiry), threatened against the Borrower, IHDC, or the Project, or any of their respective properties or assets, that (i) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) seeks to enjoin, restrain, or otherwise prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (iii) questions the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document. No judgments, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees, or awards have been entered against the Borrower or the Project that remain unsatisfied.
(e) Environmental Compliance. The Borrower is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined in the Loan Agreement) with respect to the Project. Phase I Environmental Site Assessments have been completed for both the Stonebridge Parcel and the Meridian Parcel by Pendleton Environmental Associates, Inc. (Dr. Renata Volkov, Lead Environmental Scientist), in accordance with ASTM E1527-21 standards, and copies thereof have been delivered to the Administrative Agent. A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment has been completed for the Stonebridge Parcel to address the former agricultural use of such parcel and potential residual pesticide contamination identified in the northwest quadrant thereof (an area of approximately 4.2 acres). The Phase II ESA concluded that pesticide concentrations detected in the affected area are below applicable Virginia Department of Environmental Quality ("VDEQ") residential screening levels and well below industrial/commercial screening levels, and that no further investigation or remediation is required at this time. All environmental findings, reports, and recommendations have been disclosed to the Administrative Agent in full, and no environmental condition exists on or affecting the Project Site that could reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Borrower or to materially impair the value of the Project.
(f) Taxes. All taxes, assessments, water and sewer charges, and other governmental charges due and payable by the Borrower with respect to the Project or otherwise as of the date hereof have been paid in full when due. No tax liens have been filed against the Borrower or the Project, and no tax assessment is pending or threatened against the Project. The Borrower has filed all tax returns and reports required to be filed by it, and all such returns and reports are true, correct, and complete in all material respects.
(g) Zoning and Land Use Compliance. The Borrower's proposed use and development of the Project is in compliance with all applicable zoning, land use, and building laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. The Zoning Modification Application (Docket No. ZMOD-2025-0038) was approved by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors at its October 2025 public hearing, permitting data center use on the Project Site. The existing zoning classification of the Project Site is PD-IP (Planned Development — Industrial Park), as modified by the ZMOD approval to expressly permit data center use and associated infrastructure. The approved site plan and development conditions are consistent with the Project plans and specifications delivered to the Administrative Agent. No variance, special exception, or other discretionary land use approval is required for the development and operation of the Project as contemplated by the Loan Documents, other than those that have been obtained or are being obtained in the ordinary course of the permitting process.
(h) No Change of Control. No change of control (as defined in Section 7.05 of the Loan Agreement) has occurred with respect to the Borrower or IHDC. Ridgeline Capital Partners Fund IV, LP continues to hold, directly or indirectly through RCP Digital Holdings LLC, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the equity interests in the Borrower and the Guarantor (IHDC). No transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance of any equity interests in the Borrower has occurred other than the pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in the Borrower by IHDC to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.
SECTION 6: NO DEFAULT

(b) Single-Purpose Entity Covenants. The Borrower is in compliance with all single-purpose entity covenants and separateness provisions set forth in Section 6.12 of the Loan Agreement and in the Operating Agreement of the Borrower, including all covenants described in Section 4.3 of this Certificate.
