WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) waive any Defaults or Events of Default arising as a result of the Excess Investment and (ii) amend the Existing Agreement to increase the dollar amount of permitted Investments in the BXCL 701 Subsidiaries, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to provide such waiver and amendment on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

1.	Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Existing Credit Agreement.

Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 5 hereof, effective as of the date hereof, Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby waive any Defaults or Events of Default arising out of (i) Excess Investment in the BXCL 701 Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof and (ii) failure to provide notice to Administrative Agent and the Lenders of such Excess Investment described in the preceding clause (i).

3.	Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 5 hereof, effective as of the date hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to replace “$25,000,000” in Section 9.19(a)(i)(C) of the Credit Agreement with “$30,000,000”.

4.	Reaffirmation of Loan Documents. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the parties hereto agree that all terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement and the

other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. The Borrower hereby confirms that the Security Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do, and shall continue to, secure the payment in full and performance of all of the Obligations.

(b)

Each of the representations and warranties in Section 8 of this Amendment, Section 7 of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects (unless such representations are already qualified by reference to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all respects on and as of such earlier date;

(c)
