WHEREAS, each of TRU Taj LLC (the “Issuer”), TRU Taj Finance, Inc.

WHEREAS, but for the Waiver (as defined below) by the Holders undersigned hereto (the “Supporting Holders”, and each a “Supporting Holder”), the Issuers’ failure to comply with (i) Section 6.01(a)(16)(B)(i) of the Indenture with respect to moving to assume the Intellectual Property Licenses (the “Assumption Default”), and (ii) Section 6.01(a)(14) of the Indenture relating to the requirement to provide three days’ notice to receive the Waiver (the “Notice Default”), would, for each of the Assumption Default and the Notice Default, be an Event of Default;
WHEREAS, on and after 3:00 p.m. New York City time on October 12, 2017 (the “Effective Time”), but for the effectiveness of the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of the date hereof and effective as of the Effective Time, among the Issuers and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to which this Waiver and Consent to Supplemental Indenture is attached as an exhibit, the Assumption Default would be an Event of Default;

WHEREAS, each Supporting Holder, with all Supporting Holders on behalf of all Holders, desires to waive the Assumption Default and the Notice Default from the date hereof until the Effective Time (the “Waiver”) and each Supporting Holder agrees that the Waiver, during such period, precludes the Supporting Holders from accelerating the Notes pursuant to Section 6.02 with respect to the Assumption Default and the Notice Default;

WHEREAS, the Supporting Holders desire to consent to the execution of the First Supplemental Indenture as of the date hereof to be effective at the Effective Time and to the enactment and effectiveness of the Waiver as of the date hereof.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Supporting Holder hereto agrees, severally and not jointly, as follows:
