Page 4 This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates the Schedule 13D dated June 22, 1995 filed by Mr. Donald J. Trump ("Mr. Trump"), and is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a), (c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Item 1. Security and Issuer. ------------------- This Statement relates to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. (the "Company"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, which has its principal executive offices at Mississippi Avenue and The Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey 08401. Item 2. Identity and Background. ----------------------- (a)-(c), (f). This Statement is being filed by Mr. Trump and Trump Casinos, Inc. (formerly known as ("f/k/a") Trump Taj Mahal, Inc.) ("TCI"). Mr. Trump and TCI are sometimes referred to herein individually as a "Reporting Person" and collectively as the "Reporting Persons." Mr. Trump's present principal occupation is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Funding, Inc., THCR Holding Corp. (f/k/a Taj Mahal Holding Corp.)("THCR Corp."), THCR/LP Corporation (f/k/a TM/GP Corporation) ("THCR/LP") and Trump Atlantic City Funding, Inc.; Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Treasurer of Trump Plaza Funding, Inc. ("Plaza Funding"); sole Director, President and Treasurer of TCI and Trump Atlantic City Corporation (f/k/a The Trump Taj Mahal Corporation) ("AC Page 5 Corporation"); Director and President of Trump Atlantic City Holding, Inc. (f/k/a Trump Plaza Holding, Inc.) ("AC Holding, Inc."); sole Director of Trump Indiana, Inc. ("Trump Indiana"); Chairman of the Board of Partner Representatives of Trump's Castle Associates ("TCA"); Managing General Partner of TCA; sole Director and President of Trump Taj Mahal Realty Corp. and Trump Boardwalk Realty Corp.; and President of the Trump Organization. The business address of Mr. Trump is 725 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022. Mr. Trump is a citizen of the United States of America. TCI, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey, is wholly owned by Mr. Trump. TCI conducts no business other than holding (i) a limited partnership interest in Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P., a subsidiary of the Company (the "Partnership"), and (ii) shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B Stock"). Mr. Trump is the sole Director, President and Treasurer of TCI. TCI has no other executive officers. The business address of TCI is Mississippi Avenue and The Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey 08401. (d), (e). Neither of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) nor, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a result of which the Reporting Person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, Page 6 or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. ------------------------------------------------- At the consummation of the Company's initial public offering of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock on June 12, 1995, and pursuant to the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated June 12, 1995 (the "Partnership Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit I and incorporated herein by reference), Mr. Trump received approximately a 39.8% limited partnership interest in the Partnership ("Trump's Limited Partnership Interest") and the Company received an approximately 60.2% general partnership interest in the Partnership. Trump's Limited Partnership Interest represented Mr. Trump's economic interest in the assets and operations of the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and Mr. Trump, dated June 12, 1995 (the "Exchange Rights Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit II and incorporated herein by reference), Trump's Limited Partnership Interest was convertible, at Mr. Trump's option, into 6,666,667 shares of Common Stock. If these shares had been converted on June 12, 1995, they would have represented approximately 39.8% of the adjusted total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (calculated by adding the total number of shares that were outstanding on that date to the 6,666,667 shares). Page 7 On June 6, 1995 Mr. Trump acquired 1,000 shares of the Class B Stock, which represented 100% of the total number of shares of the Class B Stock outstanding. The Class B Stock has voting power equivalent to the voting power of the total number of Conversion Shares (as defined), but is not entitled to dividends or distributions. Upon conversion of all or any portion of Trump's Limited Partnership Interest into shares of Common Stock, the corresponding voting power of the Class B Stock would have been proportionately diminished in an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Consideration for the acquisition of the Trump's Limited Partnership Interest in June 1995 was his contribution to the Partnership, pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement between Mr. Trump and the Partnership, dated June 12, 1995 (the "Contribution Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit III and incorporated herein by reference), of the assets listed in Schedule A thereto, including all of his (i) beneficial interest in Trump Plaza Associates, which consisted of (a) all of the outstanding capital stock of Plaza Funding, (b) a 99% equity interest in Trump Atlantic City Associates (f/k/a Trump Plaza Holding Associates) ("Trump AC") and (c) all of the outstanding capital stock of AC Holding, Inc., which owned the remaining 1% equity interest in Trump AC, and (ii) existing interests and rights to new gaming activities in both emerging and established gaming jurisdictions, including Trump Indiana. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Mr. Trump also agreed to pursue, develop and conduct all new casino and gaming Page 8 opportunities only on behalf of the Company. Mr. Trump further agreed not to engage in certain actions in connection with Casino and Gaming Activities (as defined therein), including, without limitation, casino hotels, and related services and products, except for those Casino and Gaming Activities relating to the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (the "Taj Mahal") and Trump's Castle Casino Resort. On June 7, 1995, Mr. Trump acquired 250 shares of Common Stock in a regular-way transaction at $14.00 per share (the "Trump Shares"). Mr. Trump holds 100 of the Trump Shares for his own account, 50 as custodian for his son Eric F. Trump, 50 as custodian for his daughter Ivanka Trump and 50 as custodian for his son Donald J. Trump, Jr. On the same date, Mr. Trump also acquired, in a regular-way transaction at $14.00 per share, an additional 50 shares of Common Stock which he gave to his wife, Mrs. Marla M. Trump ("Mrs. Trump"), as a gift (the "Gift Shares"). On April 17, 1996, in connection with the merger (the "Taj Merger") of THCR Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into THCR Corp. and the related transactions thereto (collectively, the "Taj Merger Transaction") and pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, dated April 17, 1996, (the "Second Partnership Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit I.I and incorporated herein by reference), the percentage of Trump's Limited Partnership Interest changed to approximately 20.7% and TCI became a new limited partner of the Partnership with an Page 9 approximately 4.4% limited partnership interest ("TCI's Limited Partnership Interest" and collectively with Trump's Limited Partnership Interest, the "Limited Partnership Interests"). Because TCI is wholly owned by Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump may be deemed to beneficially own the Limited Partnership Interests (an approximately 25.1% limited partnership interest in the Partnership). The Limited Partnership Interests represent the economic interests of Mr. Trump and TCI in the assets and operations of the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement among the Company, Mr. Trump and TCI, dated April 17, 1996 (the "Amended Exchange Rights Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit II.I and incorporated herein by reference), Trump's Limited Partnership Interest is convertible, at Mr. Trump's option, into 6,674,006 shares of Common Stock (the "Trump Conversion Shares") and TCI's Limited Partnership Interest is convertible, at TCI's option, into 1,407,017 shares of Common Stock (the "TCI Conversion Shares" and collectively with the Trump Conversion Shares, the "Conversion Shares"). As of April 17, 1996, Mr. Trump and TCI each held, respectively, 800 and 200 shares of the Class B Stock. Upon conversion of all or any portion of any of the Reporting Person's Limited Partnership Interest into shares of Common Stock, the corresponding voting power of their respective Class B Stock will be proportionately diminished in an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Page 10 Consideration for the change in Trump's Limited Partnership Interest and TCI's acquisition of TCI's Limited Partnership Interest was the contribution to the Partnership, pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Contribution Agreement among Mr. Trump, TCI, THCR/LP and the Partnership, dated April 17, 1996 (the "1996 Contribution Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit III.I and incorporated herein by reference), of (i) 20 shares of Common Stock of AC Corporation by Mr. Trump and (ii) a 49.995% general partnership interest in Trump Taj Mahal Associates ("Taj Associates"), the owner and operator of the Taj Mahal, by TCI. As part of the Taj Merger Transaction, Mr. Trump was also issued warrants (the "Trump Warrants") (attached hereto as Exhibit V and incorporated herein by reference) to purchase an aggregate of 1.8 million shares of Common Stock, of which (i) 600,000 shares may be purchased on or before April 17, 1999 at $30.00 per share, (ii) 600,000 shares may be purchased on or before April 17, 2000 at $35.00 per share and (iii) 600,000 shares may be purchased on or before April 17, 2001 at 40.00 per share. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ---------------------- Each of the Reporting Persons acquired their Limited Partnership Interest, and Mr. Trump acquired the Trump Shares and the Trump Warrants, for the purpose of acquiring an equity investment in the Company. Each of the Reporting Persons may convert his or its Limited Partnership Interest at any time into Common Stock or may acquire from time to time additional Common Stock through open- Page 11 market or privately negotiated transactions depending on existing market conditions and other considerations discussed below. Each of the Reporting Persons intends to review his investment in the Company on a continuing basis and, depending upon the price and availability of the Common Stock, subsequent developments affecting the Company, the Company's business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide at any time not to increase, or to decrease, the size of his investment in the Company. Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has plans or proposals which relate to or would result in the following: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of Directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board of Directors; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company's charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the Page 12 acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------ (a), (b). As of the date hereof, the aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons (assuming in each case full conversion of their respective Limited Partnership Interest and, in the case of Mr. Trump, the exercise of the Trump Warrants), including the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Reporting Person has sole power to vote or direct the vote, shared power to vote or direct the vote, sole power to dispose or direct the disposition or shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, are set forth in the table below. The total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, as of April 19, 1996, was 24,140,090 shares (the "Outstanding Shares"). This number gives effect to the shares issued by the Company in the Taj Merger Transaction, including (i) 13,250,000 shares of Common Stock issued to the public (the "1996 Stock Offering") pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-639), as amended (the "S-1 Registration Statement"), (ii) 500,000 shares of Common Stock issued directly Page 13 to First Union National Bank (f/k/a First Fidelity Bank, National Association) pursuant to the S-1 Registration Statement and (iii) 323,423 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the Taj Merger pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-153).

As further described in Item 3, on April 17, 1996, Trump acquired the Trump Warrants. (d). Not applicable. (e). Not applicable. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect -------------------------- to Securities of the Issuer. --------------------------- On June 5, 1995, Mr. Trump executed a lock-up agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit IV and incorporated herein by reference) by which he agreed that he would not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives of the Underwriters (as defined therein), directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose (or announce any offer, sale, contract of sale or other disposition) of any shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company, for a period of 365 days after June 7, 1995. On April 10, 1996, each of the Reporting Persons executed a lock-up agreement (attached hereto as Exhibits IV.I and IV.II and incorporated herein by reference) (the "1996 Lock-Up Agreements") by which they agreed that they would not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives of the Page 16 Underwriters (as defined therein), directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose (or announce any offer, sale, contract of sale or other disposition) of any shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company, for a period of 180 days after April 11, 1996. The 1996 Lock-Up Agreements expressly provide that the Reporting Persons are not prohibited from pledging the Limited Partnership Interests or their Class B Common Stock to Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. ("DLJ") and Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). The Partnership Agreement provided, among other provisions, that no additional Partnership interests would be issued, except in the case of (i) an additional partnership interest to the Company in exchange for a contribution of value from the Company and (ii) an additional limited partnership interest to Mr. Trump or his Permitted Holders (as defined therein) in exchange for a contribution of value from Mr. Trump or his Permitted Holders, as determined by a majority of the Special Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Special Committee"). The Company covenanted in the Partnership Agreement that it would not issue additional debt or equity securities, unless the proceeds of such issuance were contributed to the Partnership and that it would not issue any additional shares of Class B Common Stock, except to Mr. Trump or his Permitted Holders. Page 17 The Second Partnership Agreement has similar terms to those of the Partnership Agreement and allows for the issuance of limited partnership interests to TCI and THCR/LP in exchange for their contribution to the Partnership, in connection with the Taj Merger, of their respective 49.995% equity interests in Taj Associates. In addition, the Second Partnership Agreement provides that the Company may contribute to Trump AC the indirect interest in Taj Associates that the Company acquired in the Taj Merger and the proceeds of the 1996 Stock Offering. Pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement, among other things: (i) Mr. Trump and his permitted successors and assigns were able to exchange all or any portion of their partnership interest in the Partnership for Common Stock, and (ii) a majority of the Special Committee had the right to require any holder of a limited partnership interest in the Partnership (other than Mr. Trump and his Permitted Holders) to exchange their Partnership interests for Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of limited interests in the Partnership would be adjusted from time to time to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, reclassifications and recapitalizations. The Exchange Rights Agreement contained certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") in favor of the holders of the Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of limited partnership interests in the Partnership. The holders of securities representing a majority of the Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of Page 18 limited partnership interests in the Partnership had the right to require the Company, at the Company's expense (other than with respect to underwriting discounts, commissions and fees attributable to the sale of any such Common Stock), subject to certain limitations, to file two registration statements relating to the resale to the public of all or a portion of their Common Stock. In addition, in the event the Company proposed to register any of its Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act (other than on Forms S-4 or S-8 under the Securities Act or other similar successor forms), such holders could have, by giving written notice to the Company, requested that the Company, at the Company's expense (other than with respect to underwriting discounts, commissions and fees attributable to the sale of any such Common Stock), include in such registered offering all or any part of their Common Stock. The Company was required to include the securities covered by such notice or notices in such registered offering unless the Company determines for any reason not to proceed with the underlying offering of its equity securities or, in the case of an underwritten offering, if the managing underwriter determines that the amount of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration exceeds the amount which could be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered. The Amended Exchange Rights Agreement grants Mr. Trump similar conversion and registration rights afforded to him under the Exchange Rights Agreement and extends such rights to TCI. Page 19 The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Trump Warrants have registration rights similar to those held by Mr. Trump under the Exchange Rights Agreement. On April 17, 1996, Mr. Trump entered into a transaction with DLJ to satisfy certain indebtedness of Mr. Trump and his affiliates and to obtain certain releases of liens and guarantees necessary to effect the Taj Merger Transaction. In connection therewith, and pursuant to the terms of the Pledge and Security Agreement among Mr. Trump, TCI and DLJ, dated April 17, 1996 (the "DLJ Pledge Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit VI.I and incorporated herein by reference), the Reporting Persons granted (i) a first priority security interest on Trump's Limited Partnership Interest, Mr. Trump's Class B Stock and the Reporting Persons' rights under the Amended Exchange Rights Agreement and (ii) a security interest, subject to a first priority security interest in favor of Citibank pursuant to the Citibank Pledge Agreement (as defined), on TCI's Limited Partnership Interest and TCI's Class B Stock. On April 17, 1996, Mr. Trump also restructured certain of his personal indebtedness and obtained the consent of the lenders necessary to effect the Taj Merger Transaction. In connection therewith, and pursuant to the terms of the Pledge and Security Agreement among Mr. Trump, certain of Mr. Trump's affiliates (including TCI) and Citibank, as agent for the lenders, dated April 17, 1996 (the "Citibank Pledge Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit VI.II and incorporated herein by reference), the Reporting Persons granted (i) a first priority Page 20 security interest on certain of Mr. Trump's assets and interests, including the Trump Warrants, TCI's Limited Partnership Interest and TCI's Class B Stock, and (ii) a security interest, subject to a first priority security interest in favor of DLJ pursuant to the DLJ Pledge Agreement, on Mr. Trump's Limited Partnership Interest and Mr. Trump's Class B Stock. Because of the relationship between Mr. Trump and TCI, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to form a "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act. TCI disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares held by Mr. Trump. Except as otherwise described in this statement, to the best knowledge of the undersigned, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between or among any of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees or profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

Section 5.2. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any provisions ------------------- of Section 5.1, the following special allocations shall be made, to the least extent necessary to satisfy section -22- 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, in the following order: (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). If there is a ------------------------------------------------- net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Partnership fiscal year (except as a result of conversion or refinancing of Partnership indebtedness, certain capital contributions or revaluation of the Partnership property as further outlined in Regulation Sections 1.704- 2(d)(4), (f)(2) or (f)(3)), each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This paragraph (a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto. (b) Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. If there ----------------------------------------------------- is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal year (other than due to the conversion, refinancing or other change in the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly nonrecourse, certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of Partnership property (as further outlined in Regulation Section 1.704- 2(i)(4))), each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the Partner's share of the net decrease in the Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). This paragraph (b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto. (c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Limited Partner ----------------------- unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) (d)(4), (5), or (6), and such Limited Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. -23- This paragraph (c) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal ---------------------- year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. (e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions ------------------------------ for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be specially allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the debt (i.e., the Partner Nonrecourse Debt) in respect of which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable (as determined under Regulation Section 1.704- 2(b) (4) and (i) (1)). (f) Additional Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, upon ---------------------- final dissolution and termination of the Partnership and after taking into account all allocations of Net Income and Net Loss (and other Tax Items) under this Article V, the distributions to be made in accordance with the positive Capital Account balances would result in a distribution that would be different from a distribution under Section 6.3 hereof, then gross items of income and gain (and other Tax Items) for the taxable year of the final dissolution and termination (and, to the extent permitted under section 761(c) of the Code, gross items of income and gain (and other Tax Items) for the immediately preceding taxable year) shall be allocated to the Partners to increase or decrease their Capital Account balances, as the case may be, so that the final distribution will occur in the same manner as a distribution under Section 6.3 hereof. Section 5.3. Tax Allocations. --------------- (a) Generally. Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) hereof, items of --------- income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to be allocated for income tax purposes (collectively, "Tax Items") shall be allocated among the Partners --------- on the same basis as their respective book items. (b) Sections 1245/1250 Recapture. If any portion of gain from the ---------------------------- sale of property is treated as gain which is ordinary income by virtue of the application of Code Sections 1245 or 1250 ("Affected Gain"), except to ------------- the extent that the tax treatment of such sale is governed by section 704(c) of the Code as provided under Section 5.3(c) hereof, then (i) such Affected Gain, to the extent attributable to depreciation or amortization allowed or allowable for any taxable period subsequent to the date hereof, shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion that the depreciation and amortization deductions -24- giving rise to the Affected Gain were allocated and (ii) other Tax Items of gain of the same character that would have been recognized, but for the application of Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250, shall be allocated away from those Partners who are allocated Affected Gain pursuant to clause (i) so that, to the extent possible, the other Partners are allocated the same amount, and type, of capital gain that would have been allocated to them had Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250 not applied. For purposes hereof, in order to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income or Net Loss for such respective period. (c) Allocations Respecting Section 704(c). Property contributed to ------------------------------------- the Partnership shall be subject to Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulation Section 1.704-3 so that notwithstanding Section 5.2 hereof, taxable gain and loss from disposition of such property contributed to the Partnership that is subject to section 704(c) of the Code shall be allocated on a property by property basis in accordance with the Regulations promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, tax depreciation and amortization with respect to Partnership property contributed by the Initial Limited Partner pursuant to the Contribution Agreement between the Partnership and the Initial Limited Partner, dated as of June 12, 1995, and Partnership property contributed pursuant to the 1996 Contribution Agreement among Trump, TCI, THCR/LP and the Partnership, dated as of the date hereof, shall be allocated on an aggregate basis for purposes of complying with the requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code, taking into account, for any particular taxable year for which such allocation is made, the aggregate amount of depreciation and amortization allowable with respect to the aggregate basis of all such Partnership properties determined as of the respective date of contribution (and not taking into account (i) any increase in the basis of such properties resulting from improvements thereon made by the Partnership subsequent to the respective date of contribution or (ii) any additional basis resulting from any new property purchased by the Partnership in a taxable transaction subsequent to the respective date of contribution); provided, however, that the General Partner shall not specially allocate any Tax Items other than items of depreciation and amortization referred to in this Section 5.3 (c) to cure for the effect of the ceiling rule set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-3(b). The Partnership shall allocate items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to it by a partnership to the Partner or Partners contributing the interest or interests in such partnership, so that, to the greatest extent possible and consistent with the foregoing, such contributing Partner or Partners are allocated the same -25- amount and character of items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such partnership that they would have been allocated had they contributed undivided interests in the assets owned by such partnership to the Partnership in lieu of contributing the interest or interests in the partnership to the Partnership. Section 5.4. Books of Account. At all times during the ---------------- continuance of the Partnership, the General Partner shall maintain or cause to be maintained full, true, complete and correct books of account in accordance with GAAP, using the calendar year as the fiscal and taxable year of the Partnership.

Tax Elections and Returns. All elections required or ------------------------- permitted to be made by the Partnership under any applicable tax law shall be made by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, except that the General Partner shall, if requested by a Limited Partner or a transferee, file an election on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of the Partnership property in the case of a transfer of a Partnership Interest or distribution from the Partnership, including transfers made in connection with the exercise of the Rights, made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The General Partner shall cause the Accountants to prepare and submit to the Limited Partner Representative on or before March 31st of each year for review drafts of all federal and state income tax returns of the Partnership. If the Limited Partner Representative determines that any modifications to the tax returns of the Partnership should be considered, the Limited Partner Representative shall, within fifteen (15) days following receipt of such tax returns from the Accountants or the General Partner, indicate to the Accountants or to the General Partner the suggested revisions to the tax returns, which returns shall be resubmitted to the Limited Partner Representative for its review and approval. The Limited Partner Representative shall complete its review of the resubmitted returns within ten (10) days after receipt thereof from the Accountants or the General Partner. The General Partner shall consult in good faith with the Limited Partner Representative regarding any proposed modifications to the tax returns of the Partnership, provided that (i) a majority of the Special Committee shall make the final decision, in light of the best interest of all Partners, of whether to accept or reject any such proposed modifications, which decision shall be binding upon the Partnership and all of the Partners and (ii) no Partner shall, unless otherwise required by applicable law, take any position for income tax purposes or otherwise that is inconsistent with such final decision of the majority of the Special Committee. A statement of the allocation of Net Income or Net Loss of the Partnership shown on the annual income tax returns prepared by the Accountants shall be transmitted and delivered to the Limited Partner Representative within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof by the Partnership. The General Partner shall be responsible for preparing and filing all federal and state tax returns for the Partnership and furnishing copies thereof to the Partners, together with required Partnership schedules showing allocations of tax items, all within the period of time prescribed by law. The General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to make available to the Limited Partners final Forms K-1 not later than March 31 of each year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trump shall have the right to control the resolution of tax matters affecting or relating to Taj Associates in respect of periods ending on or prior to the date hereof, including requiring the Partnership, Trump AC and Taj Associates to adjust the tax basis of assets held by Taj Associates in connection with the resolution of such tax matters to the extent such basis adjustments shall not reduce THCR's share of federal income tax depreciation and cost recovery -27- deductions in respect of assets held by Taj Associates as of the date hereof and contributions of the interests in Taj Associates to Trump AC. Section 5.7. Tax Certifications. ------------------ (a) The Partnership shall deliver to each partner in the manner provided in Section 16.1, from time to time as necessary to implement timely the provisions of this Agreement, certificates executed by its chief financial officers and the Accountants indicating the respective calculations with respect to, and the amounts of, a Partner's share of Tax Distributions and the amount of any repayments to the Partnership called for thereunder, together with supporting schedules in reasonable detail all as of each pertinent date and delivered at least 15 business days prior to the date payment is due. (b) The certificates delivered pursuant to paragraph (a) hereof shall be deemed approved by all parties and the Partnership shall act upon such certificates as provided in this Agreement unless within five business days of delivery of such certificate a Partner objects to the contents of any certificate by written notice in detail sufficient to state the basis for the objection. The Partners shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection. ARTICLE VI. ----------- DISTRIBUTIONS ------------- Section 6.1. General. Distributions of cash or property may be ------- made in accordance herewith at such times as the General Partner deems appropriate in the order provided in this Article VI, subject to the limitations, if any, set forth in the agreements governing the Partnership's Indebtedness. Section 6.2. Distributions for Taxes. ----------------------- The Partnership shall distribute to each Partner in one or more payments, including payments described in paragraph (b) from time to time during each year, but in no event later than March 1 of the year immediately following such year, an aggregate cash sum equal to the product of (i) Tax Amounts in respect of the taxable year, or portion thereof, for which such distribution is being made and (ii) the Partner's Percentage Interest. In addition, the Partnership shall make additional pro rata distributions as are necessary to reflect adjustments, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the General Partner, to any item affecting Tax Amounts, as reflected on the Partnership's tax return, as it may be -28- amended from time to time, or as a result of a concluded tax audit. (b) In addition to the certificates required by Section 5.7, the Partnership shall furnish the Partners with such information as they shall reasonably request from time to time respecting estimates of the Partnership's taxable income or loss (and items thereof) for any fiscal year or portion thereof. If, in any year, any Partner shall be required to make federal, state or local estimated income tax payments under applicable law and regulations, then, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date (the "Estimated Payment Date") upon which any such payments are due, the Partnership shall deliver to each Partner the certificates required by Section 5.7, indicating the amount (the "Estimated Payment") of the tax in respect of the respective Tax Amounts due on the Estimated Payment Date, and not later than fifteen (15) days prior to such Estimated Payment Date, the Partnership shall pay to such Partner an amount equal to such Estimated Payment. The amount of each Estimated Payment received by such Partner shall be treated as a non-interest bearing advance against the amounts distributable in respect of such Partner's pro rata share of Tax Amounts to such Partner for such year. If the aggregate amount of the Estimated Payments received by a Partner for any year shall exceed the distribution to which such Partner actually is entitled under paragraph (a) above, such Partner shall forthwith repay such excess to the Partnership on or before the date set forth in paragraph (a) above, unless such excess shall have been paid to taxing authorities in which event such excess shall be applied to reduce the amount otherwise distributable pursuant to this Section 6.2 in respect of the Partnership's next succeeding fiscal year or years. Each Partner shall seek, to the extent entitled thereto, and contribute to the Partnership any refund of taxes paid by such Partner out of amounts distributed pursuant to this Section 6.2 promptly after receipt of such refund. Section 6.3. Other Distributions. After payments and ------------------- distributions, if any, of the amounts set forth in Section 6.2 above, the Partnership may distribute, in the discretion of a majority of the board of directors of the General Partner, cash or other property, valued at its Fair Market Value, to the Partners. Any such distributions shall be made pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Section 6.4. Withholding Payments Required By Law. ------------------------------------ Unless treated as a Tax Payment Loan (as hereinafter defined), any amount paid by the Partnership for or with respect to any Partner on account of any withholding tax or other tax payable with respect to the income, profits or distributions of the Partnership pursuant to the Code, -29- the Regulations, or any state or local statute, regulation or ordinance requiring such payment (a "Withholding Tax Act") shall be treated as a ------------------- distribution to such Partner for all purposes of this Agreement, consistent with the character or source of the income, profits or cash which gave rise to the payment or withholding obligation. To the extent that the amount required to be remitted by the Partnership under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds the amount then otherwise distributable to such Partner, unless and to the extent that funds shall have been provided by such Partner pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 6.4(a), the excess shall constitute a loan from the Partnership to such Partner (a "Tax Payment Loan") which ---------------- shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest, from the date that the Partnership makes the payment to the relevant taxing authority, at the rate announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. (or any successor thereto) as its "prime rate", compounded monthly (but in no event higher than the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law). So long as any Tax Payment Loan to any Partner or the interest thereon remains unpaid, the Partnership shall make future distributions due to such Partner under this Agreement by applying the amount of any such distributions first to the payment of any unpaid interest on such Tax Payment Loan and then to the repayment of the principal thereof, and no such future distributions shall be paid to such Partner until all of such principal and interest has been paid in full. If the amount required to be remitted by the Partnership under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds the amount then otherwise distributable to a Partner, the Partnership shall notify such Partner at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the date upon which the Partnership would be required to make a Tax Payment Loan under this Section 6.4(a) (the "Tax Payment Loan Date") and provide such Partner the --------------------- opportunity to pay to the Partnership, on or before the Tax Payment Loan Date, all or a portion of such deficit. (b) The General Partner shall have the authority to take all actions necessary to enable the Partnership to comply with the provisions of any Withholding Tax Act applicable to the Partnership and to carry out the provisions of this Section 6.4. Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall create any obligation on the General Partner to advance funds to the Partnership or to borrow funds from third parties in order to make any payments on account of any liability of the Partnership under a Withholding Tax Act. (c) In the event that a Tax Payment Loan is not paid by a Limited Partner within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor is made by the General Partner, the General Partner may cause all distributions that would otherwise be made to such Limited Partner to be retained by -30- the Partnership, up to the amount necessary to repay such Tax Payment Loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and such retained distributions shall be applied against, first, the accrued interest on and, ----- second, the principal of, such Tax Payment Loan. ------ Section 6.5. Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding any other provisions ------------ of this Agreement, the obligations to make distributions contemplated hereby shall be limited to the assets of the Partnership and shall be non-recourse with respect to the Partners and any of their assets.

The Partnership shall be dissolved upon ----------- the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the dissolution, liquidation, termination, withdrawal, death, insanity, retirement or Bankruptcy of the last remaining General Partner or other event causing dissolution under the Act; (b) the election to dissolve the Partnership made in writing by the General Partner with the Consent of the Limited Partners; (c) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership unless the General Partner elects to continue the Partnership business for the purpose of the receipt and the collection of indebtedness or the collection of any other consideration to be received in exchange for the assets of the Partnership (which activities shall be deemed to be part of the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership); or -40- (d) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act, which decree is final and not subject to appeal. Following an event causing a dissolution of the Partnership, the Partnership shall be wound-up and terminated unless the business of the Partnership is continued by the Partnership in reconstituted form pursuant to Section 8.6. Section 8.6. Continuation of the Partnership. The Partners hereby ------------------------------- waive their right of partition and agree, that except as provided in Section 9.7, they shall not do anything that would terminate the Partnership prior to the expiration of its term without the prior Consent of the Limited Partners. Upon the bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, withdrawal, death, retirement or insanity of any General Partner (a "Disabling Event"), or any other event of dissolution under the Act, within 90 days thereafter, all of the remaining Partners (or, to the extent permitted under the Act, such lesser number or percentage of the Partners, but in no event less than a majority-in-interest of the remaining Partners) may (a) elect to reconstitute the Partnership and continue its business, and (b) in the case of an event as a result of which there is no longer a party serving as general partner of the Partnership, select a substitute General Partner, which substitute General Partner accepts such election and agrees to serve as General Partner. Such successor General Partner shall thereupon succeed to the rights and obligations of the General Partner as provided in Section 9.1. A General Partner which has suffered a Disabling Event shall automatically be converted to a Limited Partner having none of the voting rights or privileges provided hereunder for the election to reconstitute the Partnership as provided above. ARTICLE IX. ----------- TRANSFER AND REDEMPTION OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS; ------------------------------------------------- CERTAIN CONSENT RIGHTS ---------------------- Section 9.1. General Partner Transfer. ------------------------ (a) Except as set forth in Section 9.7, during such time as the Limited Partners (not including the General Partner) own in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Partnership Interests, the General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership and shall not Transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership without the Consent of the Limited Partners. (b) Upon any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by the General Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1 (other than in connection with the granting of a Lien), the transferee General Partner shall become vested with the powers and rights of the transferor General -41- Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the General Partner, once such transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Partnership Interest so acquired. It shall be a further condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (other than in connection with the granting of a Lien) that the transferee assumes by express agreement (or pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the General Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Partnership Interest and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor General Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the Limited Partners. In connection with any such permitted Transfer (other than in connection with the granting of a Lien), the successor General Partner shall be deemed admitted as such immediately prior to the effective time of the Transfer from the transferor General Partner and shall continue the business of the Partnership without dissolution. (c) If the General Partner withdraws or retires from the Partnership, in violation of this Agreement, (i) any remaining general partner may continue the Partnership business or (ii) within 90 days thereafter, all of the remaining Partners (or, to the extent permitted under the Act, such lesser number or percentage of the Partners, but in no event less than a majority-in-interest of the remaining Partners) may elect to continue the Partnership business pursuant to Section 8.6. Section 9.2. Transfers by Limited Partners. ----------------------------- (a) No Limited Partner shall have the right, directly or indirectly, to Transfer all or any part of its Partnership Interest to any Person without the prior written consent of the General Partner, including a majority of the Special Committee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required for (i) a Transfer of Partnership Interests pursuant to Article XII hereof, (ii) a Transfer of Partnership Interests to a Permitted Holder, (iii) the subjecting of a Limited Partnership Interest to a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest Lien or (iv) the subsequent foreclosure on such a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest Lien. -42- (b) It shall be a further condition to any Transfer (other than the granting of a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest Lien) otherwise permitted hereunder (including upon the foreclosure of any Lien) that the transferee assume by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Article IX) with respect to such transferred Partnership Interest and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion (it being understood that, without limiting the generality of Section 9.5, a transferor Partner shall be deemed relieved from such obligations, without the necessity of any such approval, in respect of Partnership Interests transferred to the General Partner pursuant to Article XII hereof). Upon such Transfer, the transferee shall, subject to Section 9.2(d), be admitted as a substituted Limited Partner and shall succeed to all of the rights, including rights with respect to Article XII hereof, of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement in the place and stead of such transferor Limited Partner (which succession, in the event of a pledge, may be entered into and become effective at the time of foreclosure or other realization of such pledge). Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a substituted Limited Partner, shall succeed to the obligations of the transferor hereunder (unless such transfer is a pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage or except as otherwise provided herein). Unless admitted as a Limited Partner pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms hereof, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have rights hereunder, other than (i) to receive such portion of the distributions made by the Partnership as are allocable to the Percentage Interest transferred and (ii) under Article XII hereof. (c) In addition to any other restrictions on transfer provided herein, no Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner shall be transferable unless the General Partner has determined by written notification (a "Transfer Determination") to the transferring Limited Partner, which ----------------------- Transfer Determination shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed given if not refused within ten Business Days of the notice to the Partnership of a proposed transfer, provided that the proposed transferor and transferee have promptly responded in writing to the reasonable requests, if any, of the General Partner for additional information sufficient for the General Partner to determine the matters set forth in this Section 9.2(c), that -43- either (i) such transfer will not cause (x) any lender to the Partnership to hold in excess of ten (10) percent of the aggregate Partnership Interests or any other percentage of the Partnership Interest that would, pursuant to the Regulations under Section 752 of the Code or any successor provision, cause a loan by such lender to constitute Partner Nonrecourse Debt, (y) a transfer of a Partnership Interest the value of which would have been less than $20,000 when issued, or (z) a prohibited transaction (as defined in section 4975(c) of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) to occur, or the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title 1 of ERISA, a "party in interest" (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code), or the Partnership to be deemed to hold "plan assets" (as defined in regulations promulgated by the Department of Labor) of any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, or (ii) the General Partner has determined to waive one or more of such requirements as of the date of this Agreement, and may, after the date of this Agreement, waive one or more of such requirements in its reasonable discretion after having determined that the transfer will not materially adversely affect the Partnership, its assets or any Partner, or constitute a violation of law. (d) Any transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall, upon the written request of such transferee and the transferring Limited Partner and the consent of the General Partner, including a majority of the Special Committee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, be admitted as a Limited Partner under this Article IX, and the transferring Limited Partner shall, if all of its Partnership Interests have been Transferred, withdraw from the Partnership. The Partnership shall not be required in any way to determine the validity of any written instrument referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, and shall be authorized to rely upon any such written instrument signed by the necessary parties. (e) Any permitted transferee under Section 9.2 who is not admitted as a substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article IX (including, without limitation, Sections 9.2(b) and 9.2(d)) shall be considered an assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An assignee shall be deemed to have had assigned to it, and shall be entitled to receive, distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership and rights attributable to the Partnership Interests assigned to such transferee, and shall have the rights of the transferor under Article XII hereof, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Interests for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to -44- vote such Partnership Interests in any matter presented to the Limited Partners for a vote or consent. In the event any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Interests, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article IX to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Interests. (f) The Limited Partners acknowledge that the Partnership Interests have not been registered under any federal or state securities laws and, as a result thereof, they may not be sold or otherwise transferred, except in compliance with such laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Partnership Interest may be sold or otherwise transferred unless such transfer is exempt from registration under any applicable securities laws or such transfer is registered under such laws, it being acknowledged that the Partnership has no obligation to take any action which would cause any such Partnership Interests to be registered. (g) Any transferee of ownership of the Partnership Interests originally held by the Initial Limited Partner shall have the right to purchase from the transferor of such Partnership Interests a pro rata portion of the Class B Stock held by such transferor at a purchase price equal to its par value. Section 9.3. Certain Additional Restrictions on Transfer. In ------------------------------------------- addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner be made (i) to any person or Entity that lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) if such Transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes, except with the Consent of the Limited Partners, subject to the provisions of Section 9.7; (iii) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes; (iv) if such Transfer is effectuated through an "established securities market" or a "secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)" within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code; (v) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title 1 of ERISA, a "party-in-interest" (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code); (vi) in violation of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; or (vii) if such transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101. -45- Section 9.4. Effective Dates of Transfers. ---------------------------- (a) Transfers pursuant to this Article IX may be made on any day, but for purposes of this Agreement, the effective date of any such Transfer shall be (i) the first day of the month in which such Transfer occurred if such Transfer occurred on or prior to the fifteenth calendar day of a month, or (ii) the first day of the month immediately following the month in which such transfer occurred, if such Transfer occurred after the fifteenth calendar day of a month, or such other date determined by the General Partner pursuant to such convention as may be administratively feasible and consistent with applicable law. (b) If any Partnership Interest is Transferred (other than the granting of a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest Lien) in compliance with the provisions of this Article IX, on any day other than the first day of a calendar year, then Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such Partnership Interest for such year shall be allocated to the transferor Partner, or the redeemed or selling Partners, as the case may be, and, in the case of a Transfer other than a redemption or the granting of a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest Lien, to the transferee Partner, by taking into account their varying interests during such year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the effective date of a Transfer (other than the granting of a Lien) occurs shall be allocated to the transferor or transferee Partner as provided in Section 9.4(a), and for purposes of Section 9.4(a), the transferee shall be the owner of the Partnership Interest at the close of business on any day on which a Transfer takes place. Section 9.5. Transfer. -------- (a) The term "Transfer," when used in this Article IX with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which a Partner purports to assign its Partnership Interest or any portion thereof to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange, granting of a Lien or any other disposition by law or otherwise; provided, however, that the term -------- ------- "Transfer", when used in this Article IX (except when such term is used in --------- Section 9.4) does not include any acquisition of Partnership Interests from a Limited Partner by the General Partner or the Partnership pursuant to Article XII. (b) The Limited Partner has consented, in Section 4.1, to certain issuances of Partnership Interests, and the -46- foregoing provisions of this Article IX, to the extent that they would, but for such Section or this subsection (b), be applicable to such Transfers, are hereby deemed satisfied or waived. (c) The General Partner is hereby authorized on behalf of each of the Partners to amend this Agreement (including the schedules hereto) to reflect the admission of any transferee of a Partnership Interest as a substituted Limited Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Article IX. (d) No Partnership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article IX. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article IX shall be null and void. Section 9.6. Redemption of Partnership Interest. The Partnership ---------------------------------- shall not redeem, repurchase, or otherwise acquire Partnership Interests from the Partners, except (i) for redemptions of Partnership Interests pro rata based on the Partners' Percentage Interests, (ii) for redemptions of Partnership Interests as provided in Article XV, and (iii) with the Consent of the Limited Partners. Section 9.7. Certain Consent Rights. Notwithstanding any other ---------------------- provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) the General Partner shall have the right to enter into, effect, and/or consummate, and, (B) the Limited Partners, as such, shall not have the right to approve, consent, or vote with respect to: (x) any merger, consolidation, combination, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the General Partner, the sale of all of the General Partner's interest in the Partnership, or any similar transaction, which, in the case of this clause (x), if and only to the extent required by applicable law, has been approved by the stockholders of the General Partner, or (y) any merger, consolidation, combination, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, or any similar transaction, which in the case of this clause (y) has been approved by the stockholders of the General Partner; provided, however, that if any transaction is determined to be described in both clauses (x) and (y) immediately above, the imposition of any requirement that the stockholders of the General Partnership approve such transaction shall be governed solely by clause (x) and not by clause (y). ARTICLE X. ---------- RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS ---------------------------------------------- Section 10.1. No Participation in Management. No Limited Partner, ------------------------------ in its capacity as such, shall take part in the -47- management of the Partnership's business, transact any business in the Partnership's name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership. Any rights expressly granted to the Limited Partners in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be rights relating to the management of the Partnership's business. Section 10.2 Bankruptcy of a Limited Partner. The Bankruptcy of ------------------------------- any Limited Partner shall not cause a dissolution of the Partnership, but the rights of such Limited Partner to share in the Net Profits or Net Losses of the Partnership and to receive distributions of Partnership funds shall, on the happening of such event, devolve on its successors or assigns, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue as a limited partnership. In no event, however, shall such assignee(s) become a substituted Limited Partner except in accordance with Article IX hereof. Section 10.3. No Withdrawal. No Limited Partner may withdraw from ------------- the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner, other than as provided in Article IX of this Agreement, and provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3 shall not apply to a withdrawal from the Partnership upon a Transfer pursuant to Article XII hereof, such withdrawal to be effective immediately without any requirement for consent thereto by the General Partner. Section 10.4. Conflicts. The Partners recognize that the Limited --------- Partners and their Affiliates have or may have other business interests, activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or competition with the business of the Partnership, and that such Persons are entitled to carry on such other business interests, activities and investments. Without limiting the foregoing in deciding whether to take any actions in such capacity, such Limited Partners and their Affiliates shall be under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the Partnership and shall have no fiduciary obligations to the Partnership and shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by the other Partners in connection with such actions. The Limited Partners and their Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in any other business or venture of any kind, independently or with others, on their own behalf or on behalf of other entities with which they are affiliated or associated, and such persons may engage in any activities, whether or not competitive with the Partnership, without any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Partnership or to any Partner. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, in or to such activities, or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with the business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the provisions of this Section 10.4 shall not negate or impair any other agreement between one -48- or more of the Limited Partners and the General Partner, the Partnership, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and (ii) in conducting an Outside Business Activity, a Limited Partner will to the best of its ability and consistent with its fiduciary duty to such Outside Business Activity, conduct such Outside Business Activity in a commercially reasonable manner so that on an annual overall basis the Partnership is not discriminated against. Section 10.5. Provision of Information. ------------------------ (a) Annual and Periodic Reports. --------------------------- (i) Annual Statement. The General Partner shall, as soon as ---------------- practicable, but in no event later than 105 days after the close of each fiscal year, cause to be furnished to each Partner Audited Financial Statements for the Partnership, or of the General Partner if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the General Partner, for the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Partnership. (ii) Quarterly Reports. The General Partner shall, as soon ----------------- as available and, in any event, within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of the Partnership's fiscal year, furnish to each Partner the internally prepared unaudited combined balance sheet of the Partnership and its combined Subsidiaries as of the end of such quarter and the combined statements of profit and loss, partners' capital and cash flow for such quarter and for the portion of the fiscal year then ending (all in reasonable detail), accompanied by a certificate of the General Partner or of the chief financial officer of the Partnership to the effect that, except for the lack of required footnotes, such balance sheets and statements have been properly prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition of the Partnership and its combined Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and the results of their operations for the period covered thereby, subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments. In lieu of the foregoing, the General Partner may furnish to each Partner a copy of the Partnership's quarterly report on Form 10-Q, if the Partnership is then obligated to file such report with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. (b) In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or by the Act, each Limited Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner's interest as a limited partner in the Partnership (the interests of a lender to such Limited Partner having a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest Lien on its -49- Partnership Interests being so related), upon written demand with a statement of the purpose of such demand: (i) to obtain a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly reports and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by the General Partner pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (ii) to obtain a copy of the Partnership's federal, state and local income tax returns for each fiscal year of the Partnership; (iii) to obtain a current list of the name and last known business, residence or mailing address of each Partner; (iv) to obtain a copy of this Agreement and the Certificate and all amendments thereto, together with executed copies of all powers of attorney pursuant to which this Agreement, the Certificate and all amendments thereto have been executed; and (v) such other information regarding the business, affairs and condition, financial or otherwise, of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries as such Partner may reasonably request. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.5, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that the Partnership is required by law or by agreements with an unaffiliated third party to keep confidential. Section 10.6. Limited Partner Representative. The Initial Limited ------------------------------ Partner is hereby appointed as the Limited Partner Representative. A Majority- in-Interest of the Limited Partners shall have the right, at any time, within their sole discretion, to replace the Limited Partner Representative, or to appoint a temporary substitute to act for a Limited Partner Representative unable to act. Any appointment of a Limited Partner Representative made hereunder shall remain effective until rescinded in a writing delivered to the General Partner via certified mail, registered overnight express mail or telecopy, and the General Partner shall have the right and authority to rely (and shall be fully protected in so doing) on the actions taken and directions given by such Limited Partner Representative, without any further evidence of their authority or further action by the Limited Partners. The General Partner shall send copies of all notices received by it pursuant to Section 5.6 to each Limited Partner requesting the same. -50- Section 10.7. Power of Attorney. ----------------- (a) Each Limited Partner constitutes and appoints the General Partner, any Liquidating Trustee and authorized officers and attorneys-in- fact of each, and each of those acting singly, in each case with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead to: execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices (i) all certificates, documents and other instruments (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the Certificate and all amendments or restatements thereof) that the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify or continue the existence or qualification of the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware and in all other jurisdictions in which the Partnership may conduct business or own property; (ii) all instruments that the General Partner deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification or restatement of this Agreement in accordance with its terms; (iii) all conveyances and other instruments or documents that the General Partner deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, a certificate of cancellation; and (iv) all instruments relating to the admission, withdrawal, removal or substitution of any Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Capital Contribution of any Partner. (b) The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and a power coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact that each of the Partners will be relying upon the power of the General Partner to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing or other action by it on behalf of the Partnership, and it shall survive the death or incompetency of a Limited Partner to the effect and extent permitted by law, subsequent incapacity of any Limited Partner and the transfer of all or any portion of such Limited Partner's Partnership Interests and shall extend to such Limited Partner's heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives. (c) Nothing contained in this Section 10.7 shall be construed as authorizing the General Partner to amend this Agreement except in accordance with Article XIII hereof. -51- ARTICLE XI. ----------- INDEMNIFICATION; EXCULPATION ---------------------------- Section 11.1. Indemnification. --------------- (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall and does hereby indemnify an Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts (collectively "Damages") arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed with fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or in breach of the General Partner's fiduciary duties to the Limited Partners; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 11.1(a). Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership and no Partner shall have any personal liability therefor. (b) Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee may be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership, as authorized in this Section 11.1, has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it shall ultimately be determined that such standard of conduct has not been met. (c) The indemnification provided by this Section 11.1 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity. (d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees, against any -52- liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership's activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. (e) For purposes of this Section 11.1, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 11.1; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. (f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 11.1 solely because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies. (g) The provisions of this Section 11.1 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns personal representatives and administrators, and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Section 11.2. Indemnification Procedures. -------------------------- (a) If a claim for indemnification is asserted against the Partnership under Article XI, the Partnership shall have the right, at its own expense, (i) subject to the Partnership's obligations to pay all amounts under Section 11.1(a) to participate in the defense of any Action which resulted in the claim for indemnification or (ii) to assume at any time the defense of any Action which resulted in the claim for indemnification. Such assumption of the defense by the Partnership shall be an admission that the Action is a proper subject of indemnification pursuant to this Article XI. The Indemnitee at any time may elect to participate in (but not conduct or control) such defense at its expense, and the Partnership shall not be responsible for the Indemnitee's costs of participation (including attorneys, accountants, and in-house counsel fees). In either event, the parties shall cooperate in the defense of such Action. The Partnership in the defense of any Action shall not, -53- except with the consent of the Indemnitee claiming indemnification under Article XI, cause to be entered any judgment or enter into any settlement which provides for the release of the Partnership or any other Partner but does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release equivalent to that provided to the Partnership or any other Partner. (b) The Indemnitee claiming indemnification under Article XI may, at any time upon written notice to the Partnership, elect to conduct or control its own defense in such Action (as opposed to merely participating in the defense with counsel for the Partnership), but in such event, provided that the Partnership has theretofore undertaken the defense of the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.2(a) and subject to Section 11.2(c), such Indemnitee shall cease to have the indemnification rights under Article XI, and the Partnership shall no longer be obligated to continue the defense of the Limited Partner, with respect to such Action. (c) If the Partnership has assumed the defense of any Action under clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 11.2(a), and if at any time there exists a conflict of interest in defending both the Partnership and the Indemnitee, as determined in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall so notify the Partnership and the Indemnitee may, upon written notice to the Partnership delivered promptly thereafter, elect to defend itself in such Action with counsel selected by the Indemnitee, but reasonably acceptable to the Partnership, at the expense of the Partnership. Following the assumption of defense by an Indemnitee under this Section 11.2(c), an Indemnitee may not enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the Partnership, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Section 11.3. Exculpation. No officer, employee or agent shall ----------- have any liability to the Partnership or any Partner for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, in such capacity, except liability for (a) any improper financial benefit received by such Person; (b) an intentional infliction of harm on the Partnership or any Partner; (c) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct; and (d) any knowing violation of law. Section 11.4. No Liability of Directors and Others. ------------------------------------ Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no recourse shall be had by the Partnership or any Partner against any director, shareholder, officer, employee, agent or attorney of the General Partner for any act or omission of the General Partner or any obligation or liability of the General Partner under this Agreement, and none of the foregoing shall have any -54- personal liability for or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that -------- the foregoing shall not relieve any officer or director of the General Partner of any liability in his capacity as such. ARTICLE XII. ------------ RIGHTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE RIGHTS AGREEMENT ------------------------------------------ THCR, the Initial Limited Partner and TCI have entered into the Exchange Rights Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement. Section 12.1.

(c) In case the Company shall issue Rights pro rata to all holders of Common Stock, and the consideration payable upon exercise or conversion of any such Right to acquire one share of Common Stock is less than the Current Market Price on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance of Rights, then upon the expiration of the period during which such Rights may be exercised or converted (the "Rights Exercise Period") each Optionee's Conversion Number immediately prior -5- to such expiration shall be adjusted to be that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) such Optionee's Conversion Number immediately prior to such expiration and (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is equal to the sum of the (I) number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and the (II) number of shares issued upon exercise or conversion of such Rights and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (I) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration payable upon exercise or conversion of such Rights would purchase at the Current Market Price on the date of issuance of the Rights; provided, however, in no event shall such fraction be less than one. If an Option is exercised during the period commencing on the record date for the issuance of the Rights and ending on the expiration of the Rights Exercise Period, then (r) the Conversion Number upon such exercise shall be adjusted as provided in Section 2.4(c), as if such exercise date were the end of the Rights Exercise Period, utilizing for purposes of clause (ii)(A)(II) the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion of Rights as of such date; provided, however, that in no event shall the fraction in clause (ii) be less than one; and (s) at the end of the Rights Exercise Period, the Optionee shall be issued an additional number of shares equal to the excess, if any, of the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been issued had such Option been exercised at the end of the Rights Exercise Period over the number of shares actually issued upon exercise of the Option. (d) In case the Percentage Interest of the Partnership Interests held by an Optionee shall increase as the result of the contribution by such Optionee of additional consideration or otherwise to the Partnership (a "Contribution"), then the Conversion Number shall be adjusted such that (i) such Optionee's Conversion Number immediately after the Contribution divided by the sum of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock plus the new Aggregate Conversion Number shall equal (ii) the product of (A) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is the aggregate Percentage Interest of such Optionee immediately after the Contribution, and (II) the denominator of which is the aggregate Percentage Interest of such Optionee immediately prior to the Contribution, and (B) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is such Optionee's Conversion Number immediately prior to the Contribution, and (II) the denominator of which is the sum of the Aggregate Conversion Number immediately prior to the Contribution and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. (e) In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity as a result of which the holders of Common Stock become holders of other shares or securities of the Company or of another entity or person, or such holders receive cash or other assets, or in case of any -6- sale or conveyance to another person of the property, assets or business of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or such successor or purchasing entity or person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Optionees an agreement that (i) the Optionees shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of their Options the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had its Option been exercised immediately prior to such action and (ii) that this Agreement including the registration rights in Article V hereof, shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the consummation of such transaction and that such person or entity shall assume the obligations of the Company hereunder. The agreements referred to in this Section 2.4(e) shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in the other provisions in this Section 2.4. The provisions of this Section 2.4(e) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. Section 2.5. Company's Covenant Regarding Certain Rights Offerings. ----------------------------------------------------- The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not issue Rights pro rata to all holders of Common Stock, unless such Rights are exercisable or convertible for a period not in excess of sixty (60) days from their date of issuance. Section 2.6. Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve ----------- and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable at such time upon the exercise of the Options and shall take all such action and obtain all such permits or orders as may be necessary to enable the Company lawfully to issue such Common Stock upon the exercise of the Option and to cause such Common Stock to be fully paid and nonassessable. Section 2.7. Determination of Number of Shares. The Company shall --------------------------------- calculate (each, a "Determination") the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of an Option pursuant to this Agreement in connection with such exercise. After each exercise of an Option, the Company shall promptly provide the Optionees a report, certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and its independent public accountants, setting forth the Determination, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Each Determination will be made by the Company in good faith and in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Company shall, at any time upon the written request of an Optionee, furnish to such Optionee a like report setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of an Option and showing in reasonable detail the derivation of such number of shares of Common Stock. -7- Section 2.8.

Section 3.3. The Exercise of the Conversion Right. ------------------------------------ (a) If the Company exercises the Conversion Right with respect to all or a portion of the Partnership Interests of a Conversion Partner, the Company may do so by delivering to the Conversion Partner at his address appearing on the books of the Partnership, a notice setting forth (i) the Company's election to exercise the Conversion Right, (ii) the portion of the Partnership Interest with respect to which the Conversion Right is exercised, and (iii) that delivery of shares of Common Stock as the consideration for the Partnership Interest subject to the Conversion Right shall not be made until the Conversion Partner has submitted a duly completed Letter of -8- Transmittal and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, which Letter of Transmittal and other documents shall be completed and delivered promptly to the Company.

(b) Upon the exercise of an Option, the General Partner shall use its reasonable best efforts (including, without limitation, forming and properly capitalizing a subsidiary for the purpose of holding all or a portion of the Partnership Interests being transferred upon exercise of the Option) and cooperate with the remaining Optionees to the extent necessary to preserve the treatment of the Partnership as a pass-through entity for federal tax purposes. (c) Each tender and the issuance of Common Stock with respect thereto will be subject to any change in securities or other applicable law imposing limits or conditions on such tender or the issuance of Common Stock with respect thereto.

(c) Until the Settlement Date, each tendering Optionee shall continue to own his respective tendered Partnership Interests, and will continue to be treated as the holder of such tendered Partnership Interests for all purposes of the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation, for purposes of voting, consent, allocations and distributions (subject only to reasonable accounting conventions adopted by the Partnership for purposes of determining the partners' varying percentage interests in the Partnership during the taxable year). Tendered Partnership Interests will be transferred to the Company only upon receipt by the tendering Optionee of Common Stock in payment in full therefor. Section 4.4. HSR. If in connection with the exercise of an --- Option, such Optionee is required to file a notification form pursuant to the HSR, then as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the exercise of the Option, such Optionee and the Company shall each prepare and file, or shall cause its "ultimate parent" (as defined in the HSR) to prepare and file, any required notification and report form under the HSR, in connection with the transactions -10- contemplated hereby, the filing fees for which shall be borne by the Company. Such Optionee and the Company shall, or shall cause their ultimate parents to, request early termination of the waiting period with respect to such filing and to respond with reasonable diligence to any request for additional information made in response to such filings.

Registration on Demand. ---------------------- (a) Upon written notice to the Company from holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities, determined as if the Exchange Right had been fully exercised, of their desire to cause a registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall (i) inform the other holders of Registrable Securities (at least 30 days prior to the proposed filing of any registration statement), such notice to state the identity of the holders requesting registration and the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold thereby, and take appropriate action, on a reasonably timely basis, to file with the SEC a registration statement on the appropriate form covering all Registrable Securities specified in such demand and by such other holders (by notice given to the Company within 15 days after the date the Company notified them of such demand), (ii) use best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act and (iii) use best efforts to qualify such resale under those state securities laws reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration; provided, however, that such effort shall not require the Company to qualify as a foreign corporation or subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not already so qualified or subject. The Company shall be obligated to effect four (4) registrations pursuant to this Section 5.1. The Company shall be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 as promptly as practicable upon receipt from the requisite number of holders of Registrable Securities of the notice requesting such registration; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to delay any registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 for one period of up to thirty (30) days if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined (and passed a resolution to such effect) that to effectuate such registration at such time would materially and adversely affect the Company and be materially detrimental to the business and operations thereof (a "Blackout Determination"), which period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days upon a second Blackout Determination upon the expiration of the first thirty (30) day period. -11- (b) The Company will be obligated to pay all Registration Expenses with respect to the registrations pursuant to this Section 5.1. (c) Registrable Securities will cease to be such when (i) a registration statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective and they have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement, (ii) such Registrable Securities shall have been otherwise transferred, and the Company shall have delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for them not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer and not bearing a legend restricting transfer in the absence of an effective registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and subsequent disposition of them shall not require registration or qualification of them under the Securities Act or any similar state law then in force, or (iii) such Registrable Securities shall have ceased to be outstanding. (d) A registration requested pursuant to this Section 5.1 will not be deemed to have been effected unless it has been declared effective by the SEC and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto (without regard to the use of best efforts or the like); provided that such registration will be deemed not to have been effected if after such registration has become effective, the offering of the Registrable Securities (or any portion thereof) pursuant to such registration is withdrawn or is or becomes the subject of any Stop Order. If (i) a registration requested pursuant to this Section 5.1 is deemed not to have been effected or (ii) the registration requested pursuant to this Section 5.1 does not remain effective for a period of at least 360 days, then (x) such requested registration shall not be deemed to be an effective registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 and (y) such requested registration shall not reduce the number of registrations the Company shall be obligated to effect pursuant to this Section 5.1. (e) Any offering of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Section 5.1 shall, unless the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering determine otherwise, be a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter for such offering shall be chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included therein, which managing underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. (f) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in any registration requested -12- pursuant to this Section 5.1, include in such registration, any other securities of the Company; provided, however, that the Company may include in any such registration any securities to the extent that the inclusion of such securities does not have the effect referred to in Section 5.1(g) hereof and so long as the sale of such securities is included in the underwriting of the Registrable Securities and the same underwriters are used. (g) If the managing underwriter in a public offering to be effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1 advises the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities in writing that in its opinion inclusion in the registration of the total amount of securities requested to be registered will materially and adversely affect the offering price of such securities or will materially and adversely affect the market for such securities, then, to the extent necessary, up to the entire amount of any securities proposed to be included in such registration which are not Registrable Securities shall be eliminated. (h) The Company shall not be required to register Registrable Securities which, together with any other securities to be included in such registration, have a value, based on the proposed offering price, of less than $2,000,000. Section 5.2. Incidental Registration. ----------------------- (a) If the Company intends to file a registration statement on Form S-1, S-2 or S-3 (or other appropriate form) for the registration of an offering of equity securities with the SEC, the Company shall notify each of the holders of record of Registrable Securities at least 30 days prior to each such filing of the Company's intention to file such a registration statement, such notice shall state the number of shares of equity securities proposed to be registered thereby. If any holder of Registrable Securities notifies the Company within ten days after receipt of such notice from the Company of its desire to have included in such registration statement any of its Registrable Securities, then the Company shall cause the Company to include such shares in such registration statement. The Company shall pay all the Registration Expenses of such registration. (b) The Company may in its discretion withdraw any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 5.2 subsequent to its filing without liability to the holders of Registrable Securities. (c) In the event that the managing underwriter for any such offering described in this Section 5.2 notifies the Company that, in good faith, it is able to proceed with the -13- proposed offering only with respect to a smaller number of securities (the "Maximum Number") than the total number of Registrable Securities proposed to be offered by such holders and securities proposed to be offered by the Company and all others entitled to registration rights under such registration statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of securities held by persons (the "Piggyback Holders") other than the Company and persons exercising demand registration rights to be included in such registration, to the extent necessary to reduce the number of securities to be included in such registration to an amount equal to the Maximum Number. Such amount will be allocated pro rata in accordance with the number of securities proposed to be offered by each Piggyback Holder (including the holders of Registrable Securities). Section 5.3. Indemnity and Contribution. -------------------------- (a) In connection with a registration statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this Article V, the Company shall provide each holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and each officer and director of any thereof, and each person who controls such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with indemnification against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, reasonable attorneys fees, costs or expenses and costs and expenses of investigating and defending any such claims (collectively "Damages"), joint or several, to which any of them may become subject under the federal securities laws, or otherwise, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten offering of securities. Each holder including Registrable Securities in any such registration statement agrees that it shall indemnify the Company, and each officer and director thereof, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any Damages, in form and substance as is customarily given by selling shareholders to publicly held corporation in an underwritten public offering of securities, but only to the extent that such Damages (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such securities are registered under the Securities Act, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, which, in each such case, has been made in or omitted from such registration statement, said preliminary or final prospectus or said amendment or supplement solely in reliance upon, and -14- in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities. (b) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 5.3(a) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, each of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities included in such registration shall contribute to the aggregate Damages contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by each of the Company and such holders of the Registrable Securities, as incurred, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such holders of the Registrable Securities in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Damages. The relative fault of the Company and such holders of Registrable Securities shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statements of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact was supplied by the Company or one or more of the holders of Registrable Securities, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (c) In no event shall a holder of Registrable Securities be liable for indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Article V in excess of the net proceeds received upon the sale of such Registrable Securities. Section 5.4. Certain Procedures. The Company shall provide each ------------------ holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration with a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent public accountants, in customary form covering those matters customarily covered by a "cold comfort" letter with respect to any such registration statement and addressed to such holder, and the Company shall use its best efforts to execute and deliver with underwriters for the offering covered by any such registration statement, an underwriting agreement in form and substance customarily executed for public offerings of common stock. Any holder of Registrable Securities that includes shares in the registration shall also be a party to such underwriting agreement. Section 5.5. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available ------------------ to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to, at all times: (1) make and keep available current public information concerning the Company as those terms are -15- understood and defined in Rule 14 under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"); (2) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (3) furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities forthwith upon such holder's request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration. Section 5.6. Lock-Ups. After receipt of any notice pursuant to -------- Section 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, each holder of Registrable Securities and the Company shall not demand or request a registration of securities of the Company or otherwise offer or sell securities until the later of (i) 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement in respect of which such notice was given, (ii) 150 days after the date such notice was given or (iii) the date such registration statement is withdrawn by the Company. To the extent requested by the managing underwriter in respect of an offering of securities of the Company described in this Article V, each holder of Registrable Securities and the Company shall agree to refrain from selling or offering to sell any securities of the Company within 120 days after the effective date of any registration statement described herein; provided, however, that any pledgee of Registrable Securities shall not be bound by this requirement in connection with a private sale by it of its collateral. Nothing in this Section 5.6 shall preclude the Company from issuing shares of Registrable Securities upon exercise of an Option. Section 5.7. No Inconsistent Provisions. The Company shall not, -------------------------- without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities include, or grant to any Person the right to request the Company to include, in such registration, any other securities of the Company that are inconsistent with the priorities, rights and privileges of the holders of Registrable Securities contained in this Agreement.

If the Agent is not provided with the correct taxpayer identification number, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.

If back-up withholding applies, the Agent is required to withhold that rate provided by the Federal income tax law (such rate being at the date hereof, 31%) of any such payments made to the holder of Partnership Interests. Shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable hereunder may, at the expense (and with all risk of loss for the account) of the undersigned, be sold to pay such amounts. Back-up withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of persons subject to back-up withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained. PURPOSE OF SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 To prevent back-up withholding on payments that are made to a holder of Partnership Interests purchased pursuant to the Tender, the holder is required to notify the Agent of his correct taxpayer identification number by completing the form below certifying that the taxpayer identification number provided on Substitute Form W-9 is correct.

TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS, INC. COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, DONALD J. TRUMP ("Trump"), or his assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time and from time to time during the period beginning on April 17, 1996 and ending on April 17, 1999 in whole or in part, an aggregate of six hundred thousand (600,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock of the Company, par value $ .01 per share, at a purchase price, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, of $30.00 per share (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price and the number and character of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided below, and the term "Common Stock" shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the stock or other securities or property at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant is herein called the "Warrant." 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant shall be exercised by the holder surrendering this Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such holder, to the Company at its office in Atlantic City, New Jersey, accompanied by payment, of an amount (the "Exercise Amount") equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise, payable as follows: (i) by payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check, or by wire transfer of the Exercise Amount, (ii) by surrender to the Company for cancellation of securities of the Company having a Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Amount; or (c) by a combination of the methods described in clauses (a) and (b) above. In lieu of exercising the Warrant, the holder may elect to receive a payment equal to the difference between (i) the Market Price multiplied by the number of shares as to which the payment is then being elected and (ii) the exercise price with respect to such shares, payable by the Company to the holder of this Warrant only in shares of Common Stock valued at the Market Price on the date of exercise. For purposes hereof, the term "Market Price" shall mean the average high and low sale price of a share of Common Stock for the 15 consecutive trading days preceding such day on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or securities are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the reported bid and asked prices during such 15 trading day period in the over-the-counter market as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or, if such firm is not then engaged in the business of reporting such prices, as furnished by any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected by the Company or, if the shares of Common Stock or securities are not publicly traded, the Market Price for such day shall be the fair market value thereof determined jointly by the Company and the holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that if such parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, the Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the independent investment banking firm selected jointly by the Company and the holder of this Warrant or, if that selection cannot be made within 15 days, by an independent investment banking firm selected by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules. 1.1 Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised for less than ---------------- the full number of shares of Common Stock, in which case the number of shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, and the sum payable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, shall be proportionately reduced. Upon any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense will forthwith issue to the holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor calling for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which rights have not been exercised, such Warrant or Warrants to be issued in the name of the holder hereof or his nominee (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes). 2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Purchase Price, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and non- assessable shares or other securities or property to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof. The Company agrees that the shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. 3. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. In order to prevent dilution of the right granted hereunder, the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3, the registered holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to acquire upon exercise, at the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock obtainable by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock acquirable immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment. 3.1. Adjustment for Issue or Sale of Common Stock at less than Market ---------------------------------------------------------------- Price. (a) Except as provided in Section 3.2 or 3.5 below, if and whenever on - ----- or after the date of issuance hereof the Company shall issue or sell, or shall in accordance with subsections 3.1(c)(1) to (9), inclusive, be deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then forthwith upon such issue or sale (the "Triggering Transaction"), the Purchase Price shall, subject to subsections (1) to (9) of Section 3.1(c), be reduced to the lower of the prices (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) determined as follows: (i) by dividing (a) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product derived by multiplying the Number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction by the Purchase Price then in effect, plus (y) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon consummation of such Triggering Transaction, by (b) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued in accordance with subsections 3.1(1) to (9)) in connection with the Triggering Transaction; and (ii) by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction multiplied by the Market Price immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction plus (y) the consideration received by the Company upon such Triggering Transaction, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (x) the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, multiplied by (y) the Market Price immediately prior to such issue or sale. (b) For purposes of this Section 3, the term "Number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding" at any given time shall mean the sum of (i) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock 2 outstanding at such time, and (ii) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock deemed to be outstanding under the applicable subsections 3.1(c)(1) to (9), inclusive, at such time. (c) For purposes of determining the adjusted Purchase Price under this Section 3.1, the following subsections (1) to (9), inclusive, shall be applicable: (1) In case the Company at any time shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities"), whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable and the price per share for which the Common Stock is issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Option," then the total maximum amount of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall (as of the date of granting of such Options) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such shares of Common Stock or such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options, except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) below. (2) In case the Company at any time shall in any manner issue (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon exercise of the rights to exchange or convert under such Convertible Securities, except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) below. (3) If the purchase price provided for in any Options referred to in subsection (1), the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections (1) or (2), or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in subsection (1) or (2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution of the type set forth in Section 3.1 or 3.3), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of such change shall forthwith be readjusted to the Purchase Price 3 which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. If the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection (1) or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections (1) or (2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, shall be reduced at any time under or by reason of provisions with respect thereto designed to protect against dilution, then in case of the delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security, the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be adjusted to such respective amount as would have been obtained had such Option or Convertible Security never been issued as to such Common Stock and had adjustments been made upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock delivered as aforesaid, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder is hereby reduced. (4) On the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities, the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Purchase Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. (5) In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed (solely for the purpose of this Warrant) to have been issued without consideration. (6) In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as shall be attributed by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. (7) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 3.1. (8) In case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon the stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, then in such case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration. (9) For purposes of this Section 3.1, in case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (x) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities, or (y) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed 4 to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right or subscription or purchase, as the case may be. 3.2. Dividends Not Paid Out of Earnings or Earned Surplus. In the ---------------------------------------------------- event the Company shall declare a dividend upon the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock covered by subsection 3.1(8)) payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the making of appropriate deductions for minority interests, if any, in subsidiaries (such amount in excess of earnings or earned surplus herein referred to as "Liquidating Dividends"), then, as soon as possible after the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the person exercising such Warrant an amount equal to the aggregate value at the time of such exercise of all Liquidating Dividends paid from the date of issuance of this Warrant to the date of exercise (including but not limited to Liquidating Dividends upon Common Stock which would have been issued at the time of such earlier exercise and upon all other securities which would have been issued with respect to such Common Stock by reason of stock splits, stock dividends, mergers or reorganizations, or for any other reason). For the purposes of this Section 3.2, a dividend other than in cash shall be considered payable out of earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that such earnings or earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. 3.3. Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any ----------------------------- time subdivide (other than by means of a dividend payable in Common Stock covered by subsection 3.1(8)), its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. 3.4. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale --------------------------------------------------------------- of Assets. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital - --------- stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other property with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities, cash or other property issuable or payable (as part of the reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale) with respect to or in exchange for such number of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock as would have been received upon exercise of this Warrant at the Purchase Price then in effect. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument mailed or delivered to the holder of this Warrant at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase. If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company shall not effect any consolidation, merger or sale with the person having made such offer or with any Affiliate of such person, unless prior to the consummation of such consolidation, merger or sale the holder of this Warrant shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to then elect to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant either the stock, securities or assets then issuable with respect to the Common Stock of the Company or the stock, securities or assets, or the equivalent, issued to previous holders of the Common Stock in accordance with such offer. For purposes hereof the term "Affiliate" with respect to any given person shall mean any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the given person. 3.5. No Adjustment for Exercise of Certain Options, Warrants, Etc. ------------------------------------------------------------- The provisions of this Section 3 shall not apply to any Common Stock issued, issuable or deemed outstanding under subsections 3.1(1) to (9) inclusive: (i) to any person pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or arrangement 5 for the benefit of employees, consultants or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries in effect on the date of issuance hereof, (ii) pursuant to options, warrants and conversion rights in existence on the date of issuance hereof or (iii) pursuant to the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 12, 1995, between the Company and Trump, as it may be amended from time to time (the "Exchange Rights Agreement"). 3.6. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event that: --------------------------- (1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock, or (2) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, or (3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights, or (4) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, including any subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation, or (5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection with such event, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant: (i) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company. 3.7. Grant, Issue or Sale of Options, Convertible Securities, or ----------------------------------------------------------- Rights. If at any time or from time to time on or after the date of issuance - ------ hereof, the Company shall grant, issue or sell any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase property (the "Purchase Rights") pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock of the Company and such grants, issuances or sales do not result in an adjustment of the Purchase Price under Section 3.1 hereof, then the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to acquire (within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of the initial exercise date of such Purchase Rights or receipt by such holder of the notice concerning Purchase Rights to which such holder shall be entitled under Section 3.6) and upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights either: (i) the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if it had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided that if any Purchase Rights were distributed to holders of Common Stock without the payment of additional consideration by such 6 holders, corresponding Purchase Rights shall be distributed to the exercising holder of this Warrant as soon as possible after such exercise and it shall not be necessary for the exercising holder of this Warrant specifically to request delivery of such rights; or (ii) in the event that any such Purchase Rights shall have expired or shall expire prior to the end of said thirty (30) day period, the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of property which such holder could have acquired upon such exercise at the time or times at which the Company granted, issued or sold such expired Purchase Rights. 3.8. Adjustment by Board of Directors. If any event occurs as to -------------------------------- which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights as aforesaid, but in no event shall any adjustment have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price as otherwise determined pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3 except in the case of a combination of shares of a type contemplated in Section 3.3 and then in no event to an amount larger than the Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3. 3.9. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue fractions of ----------------- shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or scrip in lieu thereof. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.9, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall in lieu thereof pay to the person entitled thereto an amount in cash equal to the current value of such fraction, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, to be computed (i) if the Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange on the basis of the last sales price of the Common Stock on such exchange (or the quoted closing bid price if there shall have been no sales) on the date of conversion, or (ii) if the Common Stock shall not be listed, on the basis of the mean between the closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on the date of conversion as reported by NASDAQ, or its successor, and if there are not such closing bid and asked prices, on the basis of the fair market value per share as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. 3.10. Officers' Statement as to Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase ------------------------------------- Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3 hereof, the Company shall forthwith file at each office designated for the exercise of this Warrant, a statement, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President or Treasurer of the Company, showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Purchase Price that will be effective after such adjustment. The Company shall also cause a notice setting forth any such adjustments to be sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the record holder of this Warrant at his or its address appearing on the stock register. If such notice relates to an adjustment resulting from an event referred to in Section 3.6, such notice shall be included as part of the notice required to be mailed and published under the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof. 4. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder hereof against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and at all times will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. 5. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC., ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, solely for the 7 issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and all other similar Warrants at the time outstanding. 6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The holder of this warrant shall have the following registration rights with respect to the Common Stock: 6.1. Registration on Demand. (a) Upon written notice to the Company ---------------------- from holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities (as hereinafter defined), determined as if the Warrant had been fully exercised, of their desire to cause a registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall (i) inform the other holders of Registrable Securities (at least 30 days prior to the proposed filing of any registration statement), such notice to state the identity of the holders requesting registration and the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold thereby, and take appropriate action, on a reasonably timely basis, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on the appropriate form covering all Registrable Securities specified in such demand and by such other holders (by notice given to the Company within 15 days after the date the Company notified them of such demand), (ii) use best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act and (iii) use best efforts to qualify such resale under those state securities laws reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration; provided, however, that such effort shall not require the Company to qualify as a foreign corporation or subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not already so qualified or subject. The Company shall be obligated to effect two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1. The Company shall be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 as promptly as practicable upon receipt from the requisite number of holders of Registrable Securities of the notice requesting such registration; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to delay any registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 for one period of up to thirty (30) days if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined (and passed a resolution to such effect) that to effectuate such registration at such time would materially and adversely affect the Company and be materially detrimental to the business and operations thereof (a "Blackout Determination"), which period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days upon a second Blackout Determination upon the expiration of the first thirty (30) day period. For purposes hereof, the term "Registrable Securities" shall mean, collectively, (i) the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii) any securities issued or issuable with respect to such shares of Common Stock by way of stock dividend, stock split, in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise. (b) The Company will be obligated to pay all Registration Expenses with respect to the registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1. (c) Registrable Securities will cease to be such when (i) a registration statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective and they have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement, (ii) they shall have been otherwise transferred, and the Company shall have delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for them not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer and not bearing a legend restricting transfer in the absence of an effective registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and subsequent disposition of them shall not require registration or qualification of them under the Securities Actor any similar state law then in force, or (iii) they shall have ceased to be outstanding. (d) A registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1 will not be deemed to have been effected unless it has been declared effective by the SEC and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Warrant with respect thereto (without regard to the use of best efforts or the like); provided that such registration will be deemed not to have been effected if after such registration has become effective, the offering of the Registrable Securities (or any portion thereof) pursuant to such registration is withdrawn or is or becomes the subject of any Stop Order (as hereinafter defined). If (i) a registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1 is deemed not to have been effected or (ii) the registration requested pursuant to this 8 Section 6.1 does not remain effective for a period of at least 360 days, then (x) such requested registration shall not be deemed to be an effective registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 and (y) such requested registration shall not reduce the number of registrations the Company shall be obligated to effect pursuant to this Section 6.1. For the purposes hereof, the term "Stop Order" shall mean, with respect to any registration of the Registrable Securities or any portion thereof effected pursuant to this Warrant, any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental or administrative agency, or any act by any court preventing or otherwise limiting the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration. (e) Any offering of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Section 6.1 shall, unless the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering determine otherwise, be a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter for such offering shall be chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included therein, which managing underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. (f) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in any registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1, include in such registration, any other securities of the Company; provided, however, that the Company may include in any such registration any securities to the extent that the inclusion of such securities does not have the effect referred to in subsection 6.1(g) hereof and so long as the sale of such securities is included in the underwriting of the Registrable Securities and the same underwriters are used. (g) If the underwriter in a public offering to be effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.1 advises the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities in writing that in its opinion inclusion in the registration of the total amount of securities requested to be registered will materially and adversely affect the offering price of such securities or will materially and adversely affect the market for such securities, then, to the extent necessary, up to the entire amount of any securities proposed to be included in such registration which are not Registrable Securities shall be eliminated. (h) The Company shall not be required to register Registrable Securities which, registration together with any other securities to be included in such, have a value, based on the proposed offering price, of less than $2,000,000. 6.2. Incidental Registration. (a) If the Company intends to file a ----------------------- registration statement on Form S-1, S-2 or S-3 (or other appropriate form) for the registration of an offering of equity securities with the SEC, the Company shall notify each of the holders of record of Registrable Securities at least 30 days prior to each such filing of the Company's intention to file such a registration statement, such notice shall state the number of shares of equity securities proposed to be registered thereby. If any holder of Registrable Securities notifies the Company within ten days after receipt of such notice from the Company of its desire to have included in such registration statement any of its Registrable Securities, then the Company shall cause the Company to include such shares in such registration statement. The Company shall pay all the Registration Expenses (as hereinafter defined) of such registration. For the purposes hereof, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses required to be disclosed in Item 13 of Part II of the Form S-1 registration statement, or in a comparable section of any similar form permitting an underwritten public offering, as well as expenses of underwriters customarily reimbursed by issuers for selling stockholders and reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all selling stockholders (in respect of a demand registration) and any underwriter (for both a demand and piggyback registration), but not including underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes. (b) The Company may in its discretion withdraw any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 6.2 subsequent to its filing without liability to the holders of Registrable Securities. (c) In the event that the managing underwriter for any such offering described in this Section 6.2 notifies the Company that, in good faith, it is able to proceed with the proposed offering only with respect to a smaller number of securities (the "Maximum Number") than the total number of Registrable Securities 9 proposed to be offered by such holders and securities proposed to be offered by the Company and all others entitled to registration rights under such registration statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of securities held by persons (the "Piggyback Holders") other than the Company and persons exercising demand registration rights to be included in such registration, to the extent necessary to reduce the number of securities to be included in such registration to an amount equal to the Maximum Number. Such amount will be allocated pro rata in accordance with the number of securities proposed to be offered by each Piggyback Holder (including the holders of Registrable Securities). 6.3. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) In connection with a -------------------------- registration statement filed with the SEC pursuant to this Section 6, the Company shall provide each holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and each officer and director of any thereof, and each person who controls such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") , with indemnification against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, reasonable attorneys fees, costs or expenses and costs and expenses of investigating and defending any such claims (collectively "Damages"), joint or several, to which any of them may become subject under the federal securities laws, or otherwise, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten offering of securities. Each holder including Registrable Securities in any such registration statement agrees that it shall indemnify the Company, and each officer and director thereof, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any Damages, in form and substance as is customarily given by selling shareholders to publicly held corporation in an underwritten public offering of securities, but only to the extent that such Damages (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such securities are registered under the Securities Act, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, which, in each such case, has been made in or omitted from such registration statement, said preliminary or final prospectus or said amendment or supplement solely in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities. (b) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in subsection 6.3(a) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, each of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities shall contribute to the aggregate Damages contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by each of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities, as incurred, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Damages. The relative fault of the Company on one hand and the holders of the Registrable Securities on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statements of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact was supplied by the Company on one hand and the holders of the Registrable Securities on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (c) In no event shall a holder of Registrable Securities be liable for indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Section 6 in excess of the net proceeds received upon the sale of such Registrable Securities. 6.4. Certain Procedures. The Company shall provide each holder of ------------------ Registrable Securities included in any registration with (i) a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent public accountants, in customary form covering those matters customarily covered by a "cold comfort" letter with respect to any such registration statement and addressed to such holder; and (ii) use its best efforts to execute and deliver with underwriters for the offering covered by any such registration statement, an underwriting agreement in form and substance customarily executed for public offerings of common stock. 10 6.5. Rule 144 Reporting.

TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS, INC. COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, DONALD J. TRUMP ("Trump"), or his assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time and from time to time during the period beginning on April 17, 1996 and ending on April 17, 2000 in whole or in part, an aggregate of six hundred thousand (600,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock of the Company, par value $ .01 per share, at a purchase price, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, of $35.00 per share (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price and the number and character of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided below, and the term "Common Stock" shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the stock or other securities or property at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant is herein called the "Warrant." 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant shall be exercised by the holder surrendering this Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such holder, to the Company at its office in Atlantic City, New Jersey, accompanied by payment, of an amount (the "Exercise Amount") equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise, payable as follows: (i) by payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check, or by wire transfer of the Exercise Amount, (ii) by surrender to the Company for cancellation of securities of the Company having a Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Amount; or (c) by a combination of the methods described in clauses (a) and (b) above. In lieu of exercising the Warrant, the holder may elect to receive a payment equal to the difference between (i) the Market Price multiplied by the number of shares as to which the payment is then being elected and (ii) the exercise price with respect to such shares, payable by the Company to the holder of this Warrant only in shares of Common Stock valued at the Market Price on the date of exercise. For purposes hereof, the term "Market Price" shall mean the average high and low sale price of a share of Common Stock for the 15 consecutive trading days preceding such day on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or securities are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the reported bid and asked prices during such 15 trading day period in the over-the-counter market as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or, if such firm is not then engaged in the business of reporting such prices, as furnished by any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected by the Company or, if the shares of Common Stock or securities are not publicly traded, the Market Price for such day shall be the fair market value thereof determined jointly by the Company and the holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that if such parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, the Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the independent investment banking firm selected jointly by the Company and the holder of this Warrant or, if that selection cannot be made within 15 days, by an independent investment banking firm selected by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules. 1.1 Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised for less than ---------------- the full number of shares of Common Stock, in which case the number of shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, and the sum payable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, shall be proportionately reduced. Upon any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense will forthwith issue to the holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor calling for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which rights have not been exercised, such Warrant or Warrants to be issued in the name of the holder hereof or his nominee (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes). 2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Purchase Price, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and non- assessable shares or other securities or property to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof. The Company agrees that the shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. 3. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. In order to prevent dilution of the right granted hereunder, the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3, the registered holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to acquire upon exercise, at the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock obtainable by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock acquirable immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment. 3.1. Adjustment for Issue or Sale of Common Stock at less than Market ---------------------------------------------------------------- Price. (a) Except as provided in Section 3.2 or 3.5 below, if and whenever on - ----- or after the date of issuance hereof the Company shall issue or sell, or shall in accordance with subsections 3.1(c)(1) to (9), inclusive, be deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then forthwith upon such issue or sale (the "Triggering Transaction"), the Purchase Price shall, subject to subsections (1) to (9) of Section 3.1(c), be reduced to the lower of the prices (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) determined as follows: (i) by dividing (a) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product derived by multiplying the Number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction by the Purchase Price then in effect, plus (y) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon consummation of such Triggering Transaction, by (b) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued in accordance with subsections 3.1(1) to (9)) in connection with the Triggering Transaction; and (ii) by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction multiplied by the Market Price immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction plus (y) the consideration received by the Company upon such Triggering Transaction, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (x) the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, multiplied by (y) the Market Price immediately prior to such issue or sale. (b) For purposes of this Section 3, the term "Number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding" at any given time shall mean the sum of (i) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock 2 outstanding at such time, and (ii) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock deemed to be outstanding under the applicable subsections 3.1(c)(1) to (9), inclusive, at such time. (c) For purposes of determining the adjusted Purchase Price under this Section 3.1, the following subsections (1) to (9), inclusive, shall be applicable: (1) In case the Company at any time shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities"), whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable and the price per share for which the Common Stock is issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Option," then the total maximum amount of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall (as of the date of granting of such Options) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such shares of Common Stock or such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options, except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) below. (2) In case the Company at any time shall in any manner issue (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon exercise of the rights to exchange or convert under such Convertible Securities, except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) below. (3) If the purchase price provided for in any Options referred to in subsection (1), the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections (1) or (2), or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in subsection (1) or (2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution of the type set forth in Section 3.1 or 3.3), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of such change shall forthwith be readjusted to the Purchase Price 3 which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. If the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection (1) or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections (1) or (2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, shall be reduced at any time under or by reason of provisions with respect thereto designed to protect against dilution, then in case of the delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security, the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be adjusted to such respective amount as would have been obtained had such Option or Convertible Security never been issued as to such Common Stock and had adjustments been made upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock delivered as aforesaid, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder is hereby reduced. (4) On the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities, the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Purchase Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. (5) In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed (solely for the purpose of this Warrant) to have been issued without consideration. (6) In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as shall be attributed by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. (7) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 3.1. (8) In case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon the stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, then in such case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration. (9) For purposes of this Section 3.1, in case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (x) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities, or (y) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed 4 to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right or subscription or purchase, as the case may be. 3.2. Dividends Not Paid Out of Earnings or Earned Surplus. In the ---------------------------------------------------- event the Company shall declare a dividend upon the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock covered by subsection 3.1(8)) payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the making of appropriate deductions for minority interests, if any, in subsidiaries (such amount in excess of earnings or earned surplus herein referred to as "Liquidating Dividends"), then, as soon as possible after the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the person exercising such Warrant an amount equal to the aggregate value at the time of such exercise of all Liquidating Dividends paid from the date of issuance of this Warrant to the date of exercise (including but not limited to Liquidating Dividends upon Common Stock which would have been issued at the time of such earlier exercise and upon all other securities which would have been issued with respect to such Common Stock by reason of stock splits, stock dividends, mergers or reorganizations, or for any other reason). For the purposes of this Section 3.2, a dividend other than in cash shall be considered payable out of earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that such earnings or earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. 3.3. Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any ----------------------------- time subdivide (other than by means of a dividend payable in Common Stock covered by subsection 3.1(8)), its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. 3.4. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale --------------------------------------------------------------- of Assets. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital - --------- stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other property with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities, cash or other property issuable or payable (as part of the reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale) with respect to or in exchange for such number of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock as would have been received upon exercise of this Warrant at the Purchase Price then in effect. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument mailed or delivered to the holder of this Warrant at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase. If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company shall not effect any consolidation, merger or sale with the person having made such offer or with any Affiliate of such person, unless prior to the consummation of such consolidation, merger or sale the holder of this Warrant shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to then elect to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant either the stock, securities or assets then issuable with respect to the Common Stock of the Company or the stock, securities or assets, or the equivalent, issued to previous holders of the Common Stock in accordance with such offer. For purposes hereof the term "Affiliate" with respect to any given person shall mean any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the given person. 3.5. No Adjustment for Exercise of Certain Options, Warrants, Etc. ------------------------------------------------------------- The provisions of this Section 3 shall not apply to any Common Stock issued, issuable or deemed outstanding under subsections 3.1(1) to (9) inclusive: (i) to any person pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or arrangement 5 for the benefit of employees, consultants or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries in effect on the date of issuance hereof, (ii) pursuant to options, warrants and conversion rights in existence on the date of issuance hereof or (iii) pursuant to the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 12, 1995, between the Company and Trump, as it may be amended from time to time (the "Exchange Rights Agreement"). 3.6. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event that: --------------------------- (1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock, or (2) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, or (3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights, or (4) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, including any subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation, or (5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection with such event, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant: (i) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company. 3.7. Grant, Issue or Sale of Options, Convertible Securities, or ----------------------------------------------------------- Rights. If at any time or from time to time on or after the date of issuance - ------ hereof, the Company shall grant, issue or sell any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase property (the "Purchase Rights") pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock of the Company and such grants, issuances or sales do not result in an adjustment of the Purchase Price under Section 3.1 hereof, then the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to acquire (within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of the initial exercise date of such Purchase Rights or receipt by such holder of the notice concerning Purchase Rights to which such holder shall be entitled under Section 3.6) and upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights either: (i) the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if it had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided that if any Purchase Rights were distributed to holders of Common Stock without the payment of additional consideration by such 6 holders, corresponding Purchase Rights shall be distributed to the exercising holder of this Warrant as soon as possible after such exercise and it shall not be necessary for the exercising holder of this Warrant specifically to request delivery of such rights; or (ii) in the event that any such Purchase Rights shall have expired or shall expire prior to the end of said thirty (30) day period, the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of property which such holder could have acquired upon such exercise at the time or times at which the Company granted, issued or sold such expired Purchase Rights. 3.8. Adjustment by Board of Directors. If any event occurs as to -------------------------------- which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights as aforesaid, but in no event shall any adjustment have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price as otherwise determined pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3 except in the case of a combination of shares of a type contemplated in Section 3.3 and then in no event to an amount larger than the Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3. 3.9. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue fractions of ----------------- shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or scrip in lieu thereof. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.9, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall in lieu thereof pay to the person entitled thereto an amount in cash equal to the current value of such fraction, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, to be computed (i) if the Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange on the basis of the last sales price of the Common Stock on such exchange (or the quoted closing bid price if there shall have been no sales) on the date of conversion, or (ii) if the Common Stock shall not be listed, on the basis of the mean between the closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on the date of conversion as reported by NASDAQ, or its successor, and if there are not such closing bid and asked prices, on the basis of the fair market value per share as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. 3.10. Officers' Statement as to Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase ------------------------------------- Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3 hereof, the Company shall forthwith file at each office designated for the exercise of this Warrant, a statement, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President or Treasurer of the Company, showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Purchase Price that will be effective after such adjustment. The Company shall also cause a notice setting forth any such adjustments to be sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the record holder of this Warrant at his or its address appearing on the stock register. If such notice relates to an adjustment resulting from an event referred to in Section 3.6, such notice shall be included as part of the notice required to be mailed and published under the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof. 4. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder hereof against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and at all times will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. 5. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC., ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, solely for the 7 issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and all other similar Warrants at the time outstanding. 6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The holder of this warrant shall have the following registration rights with respect to the Common Stock: 6.1. Registration on Demand. (a) Upon written notice to the Company ---------------------- from holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities (as hereinafter defined), determined as if the Warrant had been fully exercised, of their desire to cause a registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall (i) inform the other holders of Registrable Securities (at least 30 days prior to the proposed filing of any registration statement), such notice to state the identity of the holders requesting registration and the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold thereby, and take appropriate action, on a reasonably timely basis, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on the appropriate form covering all Registrable Securities specified in such demand and by such other holders (by notice given to the Company within 15 days after the date the Company notified them of such demand), (ii) use best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act and (iii) use best efforts to qualify such resale under those state securities laws reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration; provided, however, that such effort shall not require the Company to qualify as a foreign corporation or subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not already so qualified or subject. The Company shall be obligated to effect two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1. The Company shall be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 as promptly as practicable upon receipt from the requisite number of holders of Registrable Securities of the notice requesting such registration; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to delay any registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 for one period of up to thirty (30) days if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined (and passed a resolution to such effect) that to effectuate such registration at such time would materially and adversely affect the Company and be materially detrimental to the business and operations thereof (a "Blackout Determination"), which period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days upon a second Blackout Determination upon the expiration of the first thirty (30) day period. For purposes hereof, the term "Registrable Securities" shall mean, collectively, (i) the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii) any securities issued or issuable with respect to such shares of Common Stock by way of stock dividend, stock split, in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise. (b) The Company will be obligated to pay all Registration Expenses with respect to the registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1. (c) Registrable Securities will cease to be such when (i) a registration statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective and they have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement, (ii) they shall have been otherwise transferred, and the Company shall have delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for them not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer and not bearing a legend restricting transfer in the absence of an effective registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and subsequent disposition of them shall not require registration or qualification of them under the Securities Actor any similar state law then in force, or (iii) they shall have ceased to be outstanding. (d) A registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1 will not be deemed to have been effected unless it has been declared effective by the SEC and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Warrant with respect thereto (without regard to the use of best efforts or the like); provided that such registration will be deemed not to have been effected if after such registration has become effective, the offering of the Registrable Securities (or any portion thereof) pursuant to such registration is withdrawn or is or becomes the subject of any Stop Order (as hereinafter defined). If (i) a registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1 is deemed not to have been effected or (ii) the registration requested pursuant to this 8 Section 6.1 does not remain effective for a period of at least 360 days, then (x) such requested registration shall not be deemed to be an effective registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 and (y) such requested registration shall not reduce the number of registrations the Company shall be obligated to effect pursuant to this Section 6.1. For the purposes hereof, the term "Stop Order" shall mean, with respect to any registration of the Registrable Securities or any portion thereof effected pursuant to this Warrant, any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental or administrative agency, or any act by any court preventing or otherwise limiting the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration. (e) Any offering of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Section 6.1 shall, unless the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering determine otherwise, be a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter for such offering shall be chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included therein, which managing underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. (f) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in any registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1, include in such registration, any other securities of the Company; provided, however, that the Company may include in any such registration any securities to the extent that the inclusion of such securities does not have the effect referred to in subsection 6.1(g) hereof and so long as the sale of such securities is included in the underwriting of the Registrable Securities and the same underwriters are used. (g) If the underwriter in a public offering to be effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.1 advises the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities in writing that in its opinion inclusion in the registration of the total amount of securities requested to be registered will materially and adversely affect the offering price of such securities or will materially and adversely affect the market for such securities, then, to the extent necessary, up to the entire amount of any securities proposed to be included in such registration which are not Registrable Securities shall be eliminated. (h) The Company shall not be required to register Registrable Securities which, registration together with any other securities to be included in such, have a value, based on the proposed offering price, of less than $2,000,000. 6.2. Incidental Registration. (a) If the Company intends to file a ----------------------- registration statement on Form S-1, S-2 or S-3 (or other appropriate form) for the registration of an offering of equity securities with the SEC, the Company shall notify each of the holders of record of Registrable Securities at least 30 days prior to each such filing of the Company's intention to file such a registration statement, such notice shall state the number of shares of equity securities proposed to be registered thereby. If any holder of Registrable Securities notifies the Company within ten days after receipt of such notice from the Company of its desire to have included in such registration statement any of its Registrable Securities, then the Company shall cause the Company to include such shares in such registration statement. The Company shall pay all the Registration Expenses (as hereinafter defined) of such registration. For the purposes hereof, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses required to be disclosed in Item 13 of Part II of the Form S-1 registration statement, or in a comparable section of any similar form permitting an underwritten public offering, as well as expenses of underwriters customarily reimbursed by issuers for selling stockholders and reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all selling stockholders (in respect of a demand registration) and any underwriter (for both a demand and piggyback registration), but not including underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes. (b) The Company may in its discretion withdraw any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 6.2 subsequent to its filing without liability to the holders of Registrable Securities. (c) In the event that the managing underwriter for any such offering described in this Section 6.2 notifies the Company that, in good faith, it is able to proceed with the proposed offering only with respect to a smaller number of securities (the "Maximum Number") than the total number of Registrable Securities 9 proposed to be offered by such holders and securities proposed to be offered by the Company and all others entitled to registration rights under such registration statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of securities held by persons (the "Piggyback Holders") other than the Company and persons exercising demand registration rights to be included in such registration, to the extent necessary to reduce the number of securities to be included in such registration to an amount equal to the Maximum Number. Such amount will be allocated pro rata in accordance with the number of securities proposed to be offered by each Piggyback Holder (including the holders of Registrable Securities). 6.3. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) In connection with a -------------------------- registration statement filed with the SEC pursuant to this Section 6, the Company shall provide each holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and each officer and director of any thereof, and each person who controls such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") , with indemnification against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, reasonable attorneys fees, costs or expenses and costs and expenses of investigating and defending any such claims (collectively "Damages"), joint or several, to which any of them may become subject under the federal securities laws, or otherwise, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten offering of securities. Each holder including Registrable Securities in any such registration statement agrees that it shall indemnify the Company, and each officer and director thereof, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any Damages, in form and substance as is customarily given by selling shareholders to publicly held corporation in an underwritten public offering of securities, but only to the extent that such Damages (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such securities are registered under the Securities Act, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, which, in each such case, has been made in or omitted from such registration statement, said preliminary or final prospectus or said amendment or supplement solely in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities. (b) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in subsection 6.3(a) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, each of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities shall contribute to the aggregate Damages contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by each of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities, as incurred, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Damages. The relative fault of the Company on one hand and the holders of the Registrable Securities on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statements of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact was supplied by the Company on one hand and the holders of the Registrable Securities on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (c) In no event shall a holder of Registrable Securities be liable for indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Section 6 in excess of the net proceeds received upon the sale of such Registrable Securities. 6.4. Certain Procedures. The Company shall provide each holder of ------------------ Registrable Securities included in any registration with (i) a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent public accountants, in customary form covering those matters customarily covered by a "cold comfort" letter with respect to any such registration statement and addressed to such holder; and (ii) use its best efforts to execute and deliver with underwriters for the offering covered by any such registration statement, an underwriting agreement in form and substance customarily executed for public offerings of common stock. 10 6.5. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the ------------------ holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to, at all times: (1) make and keep available current public information concerning the Company as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act("Rule 144"); (2) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (3) furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities forthwith upon such holder's request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration. 6.6. Lock-Ups. After receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 6.1 -------- or 6.2 hereof, each holder of Registrable Securities and the Company shall not demand or request a registration of securities of the Company or otherwise offer or sell securities until the later of (i) 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement in respect of which such notice was given, (ii) 150 days after the date such notice was given or (iii) the date such registration statement is withdrawn by the Company. To the extent requested by the managing underwriter in respect of an offering of securities of the Company described in this Section 6, each holder of Registrable Securities and the Company shall agree to refrain from selling or offering to sell any securities of the Company within 120 days after the effective date of any registration statement described herein. Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall preclude the Company from issuing shares of Registrable Securities upon exercise of the Warrant. 6.7. No Inconsistent Provisions. The Company shall not, without the -------------------------- prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities include, or grant to any person or entity the right to request the Company to include, in such registration, any other securities of the Company that are inconsistent with the priorities, rights and privileges of the holders of Registrable Securities contained in this Warrant, except pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement. 7. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to it, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor. 8. REMEDIES. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the holder of this Warrant in the event of any default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that the same may be specifically enforced. 9. NEGOTIABILITY, ETC.

TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS, INC. COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, DONALD J. TRUMP ("Trump"), or his assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time and from time to time during the period beginning on April 17, 1996 and ending on April 17, 2001 in whole or in part, an aggregate of six hundred thousand (600,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock of the Company, par value $ .01 per share, at a purchase price, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, of $40.00 per share (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price and the number and character of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided below, and the term "Common Stock" shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the stock or other securities or property at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant is herein called the "Warrant." 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant shall be exercised by the holder surrendering this Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such holder, to the Company at its office in Atlantic City, New Jersey, accompanied by payment, of an amount (the "Exercise Amount") equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise, payable as follows: (i) by payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check, or by wire transfer of the Exercise Amount, (ii) by surrender to the Company for cancellation of securities of the Company having a Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Amount; or (c) by a combination of the methods described in clauses (a) and (b) above. In lieu of exercising the Warrant, the holder may elect to receive a payment equal to the difference between (i) the Market Price multiplied by the number of shares as to which the payment is then being elected and (ii) the exercise price with respect to such shares, payable by the Company to the holder of this Warrant only in shares of Common Stock valued at the Market Price on the date of exercise. For purposes hereof, the term "Market Price" shall mean the average high and low sale price of a share of Common Stock for the 15 consecutive trading days preceding such day on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or securities are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the reported bid and asked prices during such 15 trading day period in the over-the-counter market as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or, if such firm is not then engaged in the business of reporting such prices, as furnished by any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected by the Company or, if the shares of Common Stock or securities are not publicly traded, the Market Price for such day shall be the fair market value thereof determined jointly by the Company and the holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that if such parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, the Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the independent investment banking firm selected jointly by the Company and the holder of this Warrant or, if that selection cannot be made within 15 days, by an independent investment banking firm selected by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules. 1.1 Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised for less than ---------------- the full number of shares of Common Stock, in which case the number of shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, and the sum payable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, shall be proportionately reduced. Upon any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense will forthwith issue to the holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor calling for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which rights have not been exercised, such Warrant or Warrants to be issued in the name of the holder hereof or his nominee (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes). 2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Purchase Price, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and non- assessable shares or other securities or property to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof. The Company agrees that the shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. 3. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. In order to prevent dilution of the right granted hereunder, the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3, the registered holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to acquire upon exercise, at the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock obtainable by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock acquirable immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment. 3.1. Adjustment for Issue or Sale of Common Stock at less than Market ---------------------------------------------------------------- Price. (a) Except as provided in Section 3.2 or 3.5 below, if and whenever on - ----- or after the date of issuance hereof the Company shall issue or sell, or shall in accordance with subsections 3.1(c)(1) to (9), inclusive, be deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then forthwith upon such issue or sale (the "Triggering Transaction"), the Purchase Price shall, subject to subsections (1) to (9) of Section 3.1(c), be reduced to the lower of the prices (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) determined as follows: (i) by dividing (a) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product derived by multiplying the Number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction by the Purchase Price then in effect, plus (y) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon consummation of such Triggering Transaction, by (b) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued in accordance with subsections 3.1(1) to (9)) in connection with the Triggering Transaction; and (ii) by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction multiplied by the Market Price immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction plus (y) the consideration received by the Company upon such Triggering Transaction, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (x) the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, multiplied by (y) the Market Price immediately prior to such issue or sale. (b) For purposes of this Section 3, the term "Number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding" at any given time shall mean the sum of (i) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock 2 outstanding at such time, and (ii) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock deemed to be outstanding under the applicable subsections 3.1(c)(1) to (9), inclusive, at such time. (c) For purposes of determining the adjusted Purchase Price under this Section 3.1, the following subsections (1) to (9), inclusive, shall be applicable: (1) In case the Company at any time shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities"), whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable and the price per share for which the Common Stock is issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Option," then the total maximum amount of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall (as of the date of granting of such Options) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such shares of Common Stock or such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options, except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) below. (2) In case the Company at any time shall in any manner issue (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon exercise of the rights to exchange or convert under such Convertible Securities, except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) below. (3) If the purchase price provided for in any Options referred to in subsection (1), the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections (1) or (2), or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in subsection (1) or (2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution of the type set forth in Section 3.1 or 3.3), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of such change shall forthwith be readjusted to the Purchase Price 3 which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. If the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection (1) or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections (1) or (2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, shall be reduced at any time under or by reason of provisions with respect thereto designed to protect against dilution, then in case of the delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security, the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be adjusted to such respective amount as would have been obtained had such Option or Convertible Security never been issued as to such Common Stock and had adjustments been made upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock delivered as aforesaid, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder is hereby reduced. (4) On the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities, the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Purchase Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. (5) In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed (solely for the purpose of this Warrant) to have been issued without consideration. (6) In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as shall be attributed by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. (7) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 3.1. (8) In case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon the stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, then in such case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration. (9) For purposes of this Section 3.1, in case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (x) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities, or (y) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed 4 to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right or subscription or purchase, as the case may be. 3.2. Dividends Not Paid Out of Earnings or Earned Surplus. In the ---------------------------------------------------- event the Company shall declare a dividend upon the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock covered by subsection 3.1(8)) payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the making of appropriate deductions for minority interests, if any, in subsidiaries (such amount in excess of earnings or earned surplus herein referred to as "Liquidating Dividends"), then, as soon as possible after the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the person exercising such Warrant an amount equal to the aggregate value at the time of such exercise of all Liquidating Dividends paid from the date of issuance of this Warrant to the date of exercise (including but not limited to Liquidating Dividends upon Common Stock which would have been issued at the time of such earlier exercise and upon all other securities which would have been issued with respect to such Common Stock by reason of stock splits, stock dividends, mergers or reorganizations, or for any other reason). For the purposes of this Section 3.2, a dividend other than in cash shall be considered payable out of earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that such earnings or earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. 3.3. Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any ----------------------------- time subdivide (other than by means of a dividend payable in Common Stock covered by subsection 3.1(8)), its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. 3.4. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale --------------------------------------------------------------- of Assets. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital - --------- stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other property with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities, cash or other property issuable or payable (as part of the reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale) with respect to or in exchange for such number of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock as would have been received upon exercise of this Warrant at the Purchase Price then in effect. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument mailed or delivered to the holder of this Warrant at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase. If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company shall not effect any consolidation, merger or sale with the person having made such offer or with any Affiliate of such person, unless prior to the consummation of such consolidation, merger or sale the holder of this Warrant shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to then elect to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant either the stock, securities or assets then issuable with respect to the Common Stock of the Company or the stock, securities or assets, or the equivalent, issued to previous holders of the Common Stock in accordance with such offer. For purposes hereof the term "Affiliate" with respect to any given person shall mean any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the given person. 3.5. No Adjustment for Exercise of Certain Options, Warrants, Etc. ------------------------------------------------------------- The provisions of this Section 3 shall not apply to any Common Stock issued, issuable or deemed outstanding under subsections 3.1(1) to (9) inclusive: (i) to any person pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or arrangement 5 for the benefit of employees, consultants or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries in effect on the date of issuance hereof, (ii) pursuant to options, warrants and conversion rights in existence on the date of issuance hereof or (iii) pursuant to the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 12, 1995, between the Company and Trump, as it may be amended from time to time (the "Exchange Rights Agreement"). 3.6. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event that: --------------------------- (1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock, or (2) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, or (3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights, or (4) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, including any subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation, or (5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection with such event, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant: (i) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company. 3.7. Grant, Issue or Sale of Options, Convertible Securities, or ----------------------------------------------------------- Rights. If at any time or from time to time on or after the date of issuance - ------ hereof, the Company shall grant, issue or sell any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase property (the "Purchase Rights") pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock of the Company and such grants, issuances or sales do not result in an adjustment of the Purchase Price under Section 3.1 hereof, then the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to acquire (within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of the initial exercise date of such Purchase Rights or receipt by such holder of the notice concerning Purchase Rights to which such holder shall be entitled under Section 3.6) and upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights either: (i) the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if it had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided that if any Purchase Rights were distributed to holders of Common Stock without the payment of additional consideration by such 6 holders, corresponding Purchase Rights shall be distributed to the exercising holder of this Warrant as soon as possible after such exercise and it shall not be necessary for the exercising holder of this Warrant specifically to request delivery of such rights; or (ii) in the event that any such Purchase Rights shall have expired or shall expire prior to the end of said thirty (30) day period, the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of property which such holder could have acquired upon such exercise at the time or times at which the Company granted, issued or sold such expired Purchase Rights. 3.8. Adjustment by Board of Directors. If any event occurs as to -------------------------------- which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights as aforesaid, but in no event shall any adjustment have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price as otherwise determined pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3 except in the case of a combination of shares of a type contemplated in Section 3.3 and then in no event to an amount larger than the Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3. 3.9. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue fractions of ----------------- shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or scrip in lieu thereof. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.9, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall in lieu thereof pay to the person entitled thereto an amount in cash equal to the current value of such fraction, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, to be computed (i) if the Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange on the basis of the last sales price of the Common Stock on such exchange (or the quoted closing bid price if there shall have been no sales) on the date of conversion, or (ii) if the Common Stock shall not be listed, on the basis of the mean between the closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on the date of conversion as reported by NASDAQ, or its successor, and if there are not such closing bid and asked prices, on the basis of the fair market value per share as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. 3.10. Officers' Statement as to Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase ------------------------------------- Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3 hereof, the Company shall forthwith file at each office designated for the exercise of this Warrant, a statement, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President or Treasurer of the Company, showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Purchase Price that will be effective after such adjustment. The Company shall also cause a notice setting forth any such adjustments to be sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the record holder of this Warrant at his or its address appearing on the stock register. If such notice relates to an adjustment resulting from an event referred to in Section 3.6, such notice shall be included as part of the notice required to be mailed and published under the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof. 4. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder hereof against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and at all times will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. 5. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC., ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, solely for the 7 issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and all other similar Warrants at the time outstanding. 6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The holder of this warrant shall have the following registration rights with respect to the Common Stock: 6.1. Registration on Demand. (a) Upon written notice to the Company ---------------------- from holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities (as hereinafter defined), determined as if the Warrant had been fully exercised, of their desire to cause a registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall (i) inform the other holders of Registrable Securities (at least 30 days prior to the proposed filing of any registration statement), such notice to state the identity of the holders requesting registration and the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold thereby, and take appropriate action, on a reasonably timely basis, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on the appropriate form covering all Registrable Securities specified in such demand and by such other holders (by notice given to the Company within 15 days after the date the Company notified them of such demand), (ii) use best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act and (iii) use best efforts to qualify such resale under those state securities laws reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration; provided, however, that such effort shall not require the Company to qualify as a foreign corporation or subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not already so qualified or subject. The Company shall be obligated to effect two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1. The Company shall be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 as promptly as practicable upon receipt from the requisite number of holders of Registrable Securities of the notice requesting such registration; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to delay any registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 for one period of up to thirty (30) days if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined (and passed a resolution to such effect) that to effectuate such registration at such time would materially and adversely affect the Company and be materially detrimental to the business and operations thereof (a "Blackout Determination"), which period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days upon a second Blackout Determination upon the expiration of the first thirty (30) day period. For purposes hereof, the term "Registrable Securities" shall mean, collectively, (i) the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii) any securities issued or issuable with respect to such shares of Common Stock by way of stock dividend, stock split, in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise. (b) The Company will be obligated to pay all Registration Expenses with respect to the registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1. (c) Registrable Securities will cease to be such when (i) a registration statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective and they have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement, (ii) they shall have been otherwise transferred, and the Company shall have delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for them not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer and not bearing a legend restricting transfer in the absence of an effective registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and subsequent disposition of them shall not require registration or qualification of them under the Securities Actor any similar state law then in force, or (iii) they shall have ceased to be outstanding. (d) A registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1 will not be deemed to have been effected unless it has been declared effective by the SEC and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Warrant with respect thereto (without regard to the use of best efforts or the like); provided that such registration will be deemed not to have been effected if after such registration has become effective, the offering of the Registrable Securities (or any portion thereof) pursuant to such registration is withdrawn or is or becomes the subject of any Stop Order (as hereinafter defined). If (i) a registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1 is deemed not to have been effected or (ii) the registration requested pursuant to this 8 Section 6.1 does not remain effective for a period of at least 360 days, then (x) such requested registration shall not be deemed to be an effective registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 and (y) such requested registration shall not reduce the number of registrations the Company shall be obligated to effect pursuant to this Section 6.1. For the purposes hereof, the term "Stop Order" shall mean, with respect to any registration of the Registrable Securities or any portion thereof effected pursuant to this Warrant, any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental or administrative agency, or any act by any court preventing or otherwise limiting the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration. (e) Any offering of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Section 6.1 shall, unless the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering determine otherwise, be a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter for such offering shall be chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included therein, which managing underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. (f) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in any registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1, include in such registration, any other securities of the Company; provided, however, that the Company may include in any such registration any securities to the extent that the inclusion of such securities does not have the effect referred to in subsection 6.1(g) hereof and so long as the sale of such securities is included in the underwriting of the Registrable Securities and the same underwriters are used. (g) If the underwriter in a public offering to be effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.1 advises the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities in writing that in its opinion inclusion in the registration of the total amount of securities requested to be registered will materially and adversely affect the offering price of such securities or will materially and adversely affect the market for such securities, then, to the extent necessary, up to the entire amount of any securities proposed to be included in such registration which are not Registrable Securities shall be eliminated. (h) The Company shall not be required to register Registrable Securities which, registration together with any other securities to be included in such, have a value, based on the proposed offering price, of less than $2,000,000. 6.2. Incidental Registration. (a) If the Company intends to file a ----------------------- registration statement on Form S-1, S-2 or S-3 (or other appropriate form) for the registration of an offering of equity securities with the SEC, the Company shall notify each of the holders of record of Registrable Securities at least 30 days prior to each such filing of the Company's intention to file such a registration statement, such notice shall state the number of shares of equity securities proposed to be registered thereby. If any holder of Registrable Securities notifies the Company within ten days after receipt of such notice from the Company of its desire to have included in such registration statement any of its Registrable Securities, then the Company shall cause the Company to include such shares in such registration statement. The Company shall pay all the Registration Expenses (as hereinafter defined) of such registration. For the purposes hereof, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses required to be disclosed in Item 13 of Part II of the Form S-1 registration statement, or in a comparable section of any similar form permitting an underwritten public offering, as well as expenses of underwriters customarily reimbursed by issuers for selling stockholders and reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all selling stockholders (in respect of a demand registration) and any underwriter (for both a demand and piggyback registration), but not including underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes. (b) The Company may in its discretion withdraw any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 6.2 subsequent to its filing without liability to the holders of Registrable Securities. (c) In the event that the managing underwriter for any such offering described in this Section 6.2 notifies the Company that, in good faith, it is able to proceed with the proposed offering only with respect to a smaller number of securities (the "Maximum Number") than the total number of Registrable Securities 9 proposed to be offered by such holders and securities proposed to be offered by the Company and all others entitled to registration rights under such registration statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of securities held by persons (the "Piggyback Holders") other than the Company and persons exercising demand registration rights to be included in such registration, to the extent necessary to reduce the number of securities to be included in such registration to an amount equal to the Maximum Number. Such amount will be allocated pro rata in accordance with the number of securities proposed to be offered by each Piggyback Holder (including the holders of Registrable Securities). 6.3. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) In connection with a -------------------------- registration statement filed with the SEC pursuant to this Section 6, the Company shall provide each holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and each officer and director of any thereof, and each person who controls such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") , with indemnification against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, reasonable attorneys fees, costs or expenses and costs and expenses of investigating and defending any such claims (collectively "Damages"), joint or several, to which any of them may become subject under the federal securities laws, or otherwise, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten offering of securities. Each holder including Registrable Securities in any such registration statement agrees that it shall indemnify the Company, and each officer and director thereof, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any Damages, in form and substance as is customarily given by selling shareholders to publicly held corporation in an underwritten public offering of securities, but only to the extent that such Damages (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such securities are registered under the Securities Act, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, which, in each such case, has been made in or omitted from such registration statement, said preliminary or final prospectus or said amendment or supplement solely in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities. (b) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in subsection 6.3(a) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, each of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities shall contribute to the aggregate Damages contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by each of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities, as incurred, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Damages. The relative fault of the Company on one hand and the holders of the Registrable Securities on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statements of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact was supplied by the Company on one hand and the holders of the Registrable Securities on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (c) In no event shall a holder of Registrable Securities be liable for indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Section 6 in excess of the net proceeds received upon the sale of such Registrable Securities. 6.4. Certain Procedures. The Company shall provide each holder of ------------------ Registrable Securities included in any registration with (i) a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent public accountants, in customary form covering those matters customarily covered by a "cold comfort" letter with respect to any such registration statement and addressed to such holder; and (ii) use its best efforts to execute and deliver with underwriters for the offering covered by any such registration statement, an underwriting agreement in form and substance customarily executed for public offerings of common stock. 10 6.5. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the ------------------ holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to, at all times: (1) make and keep available current public information concerning the Company as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act("Rule 144"); (2) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (3) furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities forthwith upon such holder's request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration. 6.6. Lock-Ups. After receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 6.1 -------- or 6.2 hereof, each holder of Registrable Securities and the Company shall not demand or request a registration of securities of the Company or otherwise offer or sell securities until the later of (i) 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement in respect of which such notice was given, (ii) 150 days after the date such notice was given or (iii) the date such registration statement is withdrawn by the Company. To the extent requested by the managing underwriter in respect of an offering of securities of the Company described in this Section 6, each holder of Registrable Securities and the Company shall agree to refrain from selling or offering to sell any securities of the Company within 120 days after the effective date of any registration statement described herein. Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall preclude the Company from issuing shares of Registrable Securities upon exercise of the Warrant. 6.7. No Inconsistent Provisions. The Company shall not, without the -------------------------- prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities include, or grant to any person or entity the right to request the Company to include, in such registration, any other securities of the Company that are inconsistent with the priorities, rights and privileges of the holders of Registrable Securities contained in this Warrant, except pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement. 7. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to it, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor. 8. REMEDIES. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the holder of this Warrant in the event of any default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that the same may be specifically enforced. 9.

(a) Pledge, Assignment and Grant of Security. The Pledgor ---------------------------------------- hereby assigns and pledges to the Secured Party, and hereby grants a security interest to the Secured Party in the following (the "Collateral"): (i) all of the Pledged Shares; (ii) the certificates representing the shares referred to in clause (i) above (clauses (i) and (ii) the "Pledged Collateral"); (iii) that certain Amended and Restated Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 17, 1996, by and among Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc., the Borrower and TTMI (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, the "Assigned Agreement"), including, without limitation, (1) all rights of the Pledgor to receive moneys due and to become due under or pursuant to the Assigned Agreement, (2) all rights of the Pledgor to receive proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to the Assigned Agreement, (3) claims of the Pledgor for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under the Assigned Agreement, (4) the right of the Pledgor to terminate the Assigned Agreement, to perform thereunder and to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder and (5) the right of the Pledgor to convert partnership interests in the Partnership into shares of the Company; (iv) all of the monies deposited from time to time in the Interest Reserve Account referred to below; (v) the Interest Reserve Account (as hereinafter defined) and the securities entitlements, financial assets and other securities, instruments or investors credited thereto; and (vi) all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds, from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the foregoing; including, without limitation, any shares of the Company received on conversion of partnership interests in the Partnership. (b) Establishment of Interest Reserve Account. (i) The Borrower ----------------------------------------- hereby establishes with the Secured Party the Interest Reserve Account (the "Interest Reserve Account") in the name of the Secured Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the Interest Reserve Account shall be under the exclusive dominion and control of the Secured Party. The Borrower hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes the Secured Party to deposit into and withdraw funds from the Interest Reserve Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Pledge Agreement. The Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal in respect of the Interest Reserve Account, except that so long as no Event of -2- Default or event which with the giving of notice and/or lapse of time would become an Event of Default (a "Default"), shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the sole right to direct the investment of the moneys in the Interest Reserve Account, but solely in Permitted Investments (as defined below), and any interest accruing thereon shall be for the benefit of the Borrower to the extent such interest and the principal amount of the Interest Reserve Account exceeds the Required Balance (as defined below). The Secured Party shall remit any such excess to the Borrower on a quarterly basis.

Each transfer of funds shall be made only to the extent that funds are on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account, and the Secured Party shall have no responsibility to make additional funds available in the event that funds on deposit are insufficient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Party shall also have a right of set-off against funds and property in the Interest Reserve Account and shall have a lien on such account as provided in Section 1(a). The Borrower shall, however, remain liable for a deficiency in the event that funds on deposit are insufficient to satisfy all Obligations (as hereinafter defined). (ii) The Borrower shall cause to be transferred to the Interest Reserve Account, immediately upon receipt of the proceeds of the Loan, an amount equal to $3,261,073.01 (the "Required Balance").

SECTION 3. Delivery of Pledged Collateral. All certificates or ------------------------------ instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Secured Party pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party except that Second Lien Shares are being delivered to Citibank as agent and bailee for DLJ. The Secured Party shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in its name or in the name of any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral.

(d) No consent, authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority is required either (i) for the pledge by the Pledgor of -4- the Collateral owned by the Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or for the due execution, delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement by the Pledgor, or (ii) for the exercise by the Secured Party of the voting or other rights provided for in this Pledge Agreement or of the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, except for any required approval of, consent from, or notice to the Casino Control Commission or the Division of Gaming Enforcement, or as may be required in connection with the disposition of the Pledged Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally. (e) The Assigned Agreement, a true and complete copy of which has been furnished to the Secured Party, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, has not been amended or otherwise modified, is in full force and effect and is binding upon and enforceable against all parties thereto in accordance with its terms.

Prior to any such delivery, any Collateral in Pledgor's possession shall be held by Pledgor in trust for the Secured Party. SECTION 6. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. ----------------------------- (a) As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or, in the case of subsection (a)(i) of this Section 6, as long as no notice thereof shall have been given by the Secured Party to the Pledgor): (i) The Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral owned by the Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that the -------- ------- Pledgor shall not exercise or shall refrain from exercising any such right if, in the Secured Party's judgment, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; and provided -------- further, that the Pledgor shall give the Secured Party at least five business - ------- days' written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or its reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right. (ii) The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral owned by the Pledgor, other than any and all (A) dividends and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and -6- other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Shares in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus, (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, and (D) Company Stock received upon exchange of the Partnership Interests, all of which shall be forthwith delivered to the Secured Party to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Secured Party as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). (iii) The Secured Party shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) Upon notice by the Secured Party to the Pledgor, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights. (ii) All rights of the Pledgor to receive the dividends and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and other distributions. (iii) All dividends and other distributions, and any Company Stock received in exchange for the Partnership Interests, which are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii) of this Section 6(b) shall be received in trust -7- for the benefit of the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Secured Party as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). (iv) The Pledgor shall, if necessary to permit the Secured Party to exercise the voting and other rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) above and to receive all dividends and distributions which it may be entitled to receive under Section 6(b)(ii) above, execute and deliver to the Secured Party, from time to time and upon written notice of the Secured Party, appropriate proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Secured Party may reasonably request. The foregoing shall not in any way limit the Secured Party's power and authority granted pursuant to Section 8 hereof. SECTION 7. Transfers and other Liens. (a) The Pledgor agrees that ------------------------- it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to, any of the Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest, option or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for (A) the lien created pursuant to this Pledge Agreement and (B) the lien created by the Citibank Pledge Agreement. (b) The Pledgor agrees that it will cause each issuer of the Pledged Shares not to issue any shares of stock or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Shares, except, with the written consent of the Secured Party, to the Pledgor. (c) The Pledgor shall at its expense: (i) perform and observe all the terms and provisions of the Assigned Agreement to be performed or observed by it, maintain the Assigned Agreement in full force and effect, enforce the Assigned Agreement in accordance with its terms, and take all such action to such end as may be from time to time reasonably requested by the Secured Party; and (ii) furnish to the Secured Party promptly upon receipt thereof copies of all notices, requests and other documents received by the Pledgor under or pursuant to the Assigned Agreement, and from time to time (A) furnish to the Secured Party such information and reports regarding the Assigned Agreement as the Secured Party may reasonably request and (B) upon request of the Secured Party make to any other party to the Assigned Agreement such demands and requests for information and reports or for action as the Pledgor is entitled to make thereunder.

SECTION 8. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact and Proxy. The -------------------------------------------------- Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and proxy with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or in its own name, from time to time in the Secured Party's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Pledge Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend or other distribution or payment in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, to give full discharge for the same, and to vote or grant any consent in respect of the Pledged Shares authorized by Section 6(b) hereof. The Pledgor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that any said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. SECTION 9. Secured Party May Perform. If the Pledgor fails to ------------------------- perform any agreement contained herein, the Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor under Section 12 hereof and constitute Obligations secured hereby. SECTION 10. Reasonable Care. The Secured Party shall be deemed to --------------- have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that the Secured Party shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of any such matter, or (ii) taking -9- any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Collateral. SECTION 11. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have --------------------- occurred and be continuing: (a) The Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party after default under the Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") in effect in the State of New York at that time, and the Secured Party may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any office of the Secured Party or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days' notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. (b) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 11, the Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Secured Party, the Pledgor will, at its own cost and expense: (i) execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to cause each issuer of the Pledged Shares and its directors, officers and/or partners to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Secured Party, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Shares under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the "Securities Act"), and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make or cause to be made all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Secured Party, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements -10- of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable thereto; (ii) use its best efforts to qualify the Pledged Collateral under the state securities or "Blue Sky" laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged Collateral, as requested by the Secured Party; (iii) make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earning statement which will satisfy the provisions of section 11(a) of the Securities Act; (iv) obtain all approvals, authorizations and consents as may be required under applicable law and regulations (including gaming laws and regulations); and (v) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. The Pledgor further acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages which would be suffered by the Secured Party by reason of the failure by the Pledgor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section 11 and, consequently, agrees that, if the Pledgor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Collateral on the date the Secured Party shall demand compliance with this Section. (c) The Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of the aforementioned requirements and certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Secured Party may, at its option, elect not to require the Pledgor to register all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and may therefore be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Pledgor would agree to do so. (d) If the Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written -11- request, the Pledgor shall, and shall use best efforts to cause the Company to, from time to time, furnish to the Secured Party all such information as the Secured Party may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Pledged Collateral which may be sold by the Secured Party as exempt transactions under the Act and rules of the SEC thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. (e) The Secured Party may exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Pledgor under or in connection with the Assigned Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all rights of the Pledgor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreement. (f) All payments received by the Pledgor under or in connection with the Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Secured Party in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). (g) Any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Secured Party: First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, ----- including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of the Secured Party and its agents including the fees and expenses of its counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Secured Party in connection therewith or pursuant to Section 9 hereof; Next, to the Secured Party for the payment in full of the Obligations; ---- and Finally, after payment in full of all of the Obligations, subject to ------- the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent such amounts are not required to be paid to Citibank pursuant thereto, to the payment to the Pledgor or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. SECTION 12. Expenses. The Pledgor will upon demand pay to the Secured -------- Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of the Secured Party's counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Pledge Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies hereunder of the Secured Party, or -12- (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. SECTION 13. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured -------------------------- Party and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any provision of this Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, or any increase in the amount of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of any term of, or any consent to any departure from any requirement of, this Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document; (iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any lien on any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of any term of any guaranty of, or consent to departure from any requirement of any guaranty of, all or any of the Obligations; or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a borrower or a pledgor. SECTION 14. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any --------------- provision of this Pledge Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. SECTION 15. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other --------------------- communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the addresses set forth in, and deemed delivered as set forth in, the Loan Agreement. SECTION 16. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Notes or -------------------------------------------------- Obligations. This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest - ----------- in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until indefeasible payment in full of the obligations, (ii) be binding upon the Pledgor, the Pledgor's heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Party and its respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), the Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any -13- Note held by it or Obligation owing to it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted to the Secured Party herein or otherwise with respect to such of the Notes or Obligations so transferred or assigned. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, the Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the Collateral owned by the Pledgor as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. SECTION 17. Governing Law; Severability Terms. This Pledge Agreement --------------------------------- shall be governed by, and be construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof. Wherever possible, each provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Agreement, terms defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York are used herein as therein defined. SECTION 18.

(d) No consent, authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required either (i) for the pledge by such Pledgor of the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or for the due execution, delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement by such Pledgor, or (ii) for the exercise by the Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this Pledge Agreement or of the remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, except for any required approval of the Casino Control Commission or the Division of Gaming Enforcement or as may be required in connection with the disposition of the Pledged Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally.

Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. ------------------------------ (a) As long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or, in the case of subsection (a)(i) of this Section 6, as long as no notice thereof shall have been given by the Agent to DJT): (i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, --------- -------- that such Pledgor shall not exercise o shall refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged -3- Collateral or any part thereof; and provided, further, that Trump Taj Mahal, Inc. shall give the Agent at least five Business Days' written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or its reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right. (ii) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor, other than any and all (A) dividends and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Shares or Additional Pledged Shares in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in- surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, all of which shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). (iii) The Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to any Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default: (i) Upon notice by the Agent to DJT, all rights of any Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent who shall thereupon have the sole -4- right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights. (ii) All rights of any Pledgor to receive the dividends and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and other distributions. (iii) All dividends and other distributions which are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii) of this Section 6(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). (iv) Each Pledgor shall, if necessary to permit the Agent to exercise the voting and other rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) above and to receive all dividends and distributions which it may be entitled to receive under Section 6(b)(ii) above, execute and deliver to the Agent, from time to time and upon written notice of the Agent, appropriate proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Agent may reasonably request. The foregoing shall not in any way limit the Agent's power and authority granted pursuant to Section 8 hereof. SECTION 7. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares. --------------------------------------------- (a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for the Lien created pursuant to this Pledge Agreement and the Liens referred to in Section 4(b) hereof. (b) Each Pledgor agrees that it will (i) cause each issuer of the Pledged Shares not to issue any shares of stock or other securities in substitution for or, in the case of a DJT Entity, in addition to, the Pledged Shares, except, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, to such Pledgor, (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all Additional Shares, and (iii) promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) deliver to the Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such Pledgor, in substantially the form of Schedule II hereto (a "Pledge -5- Amendment"), in respect of the Additional Shares, together with all certificates or other instruments representing or evidencing the same. Each Pledgor hereby (i) authorizes the Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Pledge Agreement, (ii) agrees that all Additional Shares listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Agent shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Shares, and (iii) is deemed to have made, upon such delivery, the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 hereof with respect to such Pledged Collateral. SECTION 8. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact and Proxy. Each Pledgor hereby ------------------------------------------ irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and proxy with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in its own name, from time to time in the Agent's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Pledge Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend or other distribution or payment in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, to give full discharge for the same, and to vote or grant any consent in respect of the Pledged Shares authorized by Section 6(b) hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that any said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. SECTION 9. Agent May Perform. If any Pledgor fails to perform any ----------------- agreement contained herein, the Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgors under Section 12 hereof and constitute Obligations secured hereby. SECTION 10. Reasonable Care. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised --------------- reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property, it being understood that neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of any such matter, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Pledged Collateral. -6- SECTION 11. Remedies upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have --------------------- occurred and be continuing: (a) The Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party after default under the Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") in effect in the State of New York at that time, and the Agent may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any office of the Agent or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to DJT of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. (b) If the Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 11, each Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Agent, such Pledgor will, at its own cost and expense: (i) execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to cause each issuer of the Pledged Shares and its directors, officers and/or partners to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Shares under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the "Securities Act"), and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable thereto; -7- (ii) use its best efforts to qualify the Pledged Collateral under the state securities or "Blue Sky" laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged Collateral, as requested by the Agent; (iii) make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earning statement which will satisfy the provisions of section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and (iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. Each Pledgor further acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages which would be suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of the failure by such Pledgor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section 11 and, consequently, agrees that, if any Pledgor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Pledged Collateral on the date the Agent shall demand compliance with this Section. (c) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of the aforementioned requirements and certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Agent may, at its option, elect not to require such Pledgor to register all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and may therefore be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the issuer of such Pledged Collateral would agree to do so. (d) If the Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written request, each Pledgor shall, from time to time, furnish to the Agent all such information as the Agent may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the -8- Pledged Collateral which may be sold by the Agent as exempt transactions under the Act and rules of the SEC thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. (e) Any cash held by the Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied by the Agent: First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of the Agent and its agents including the fees and expenses of its counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Agent in connection therewith or pursuant to Section 9 hereof; Next, to the Secured Parties, pro rata, for the payment in full of the --- ---- Obligations; and Finally, after payment in full of all of the Obligations, as provided in the DLJ Intercreditor Agreement, or the BT Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and, to the extent such amounts are not required to be paid to DLJ or Bankers Trust Company pursuant thereto, to the payment to the Pledgor that owns such Pledged Collateral, or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. SECTION 12. Expenses. The Pledgors, jointly and severally, will upon -------- demand pay to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of the Agent's counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Pledge Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies hereunder of the Agent and the Secured Parties, or (iv) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. SECTION 13. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agent and -------------------------- security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Pledgors hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any provision of the Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, or any increase in -9- the amount of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of any term of, or any consent to any departure from any requirement of, the Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document; (iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of any term of any guaranty of, or consent to departure from any requirement of any guaranty of, all or any of the Obligations; or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a borrower or a pledgor. SECTION 14. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this --------------- Pledge Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, approved by the Majority Lenders and signed by the Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. SECTION 15. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications --------------------- provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, telecopy or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered by hand, if to any Pledgor, addressed to DJT on behalf of such Pledgor, and if to any Secured Party, addressed to such Secured Party, in either case at the address specified in the Agreement, or at such other address as shall be designated by DJT or such Secured Party in a written notice to each other party complying as to delivery with the terms of the Agreement. All such notices and other communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, confirmed by telex answerback, telecopied with confirmation of receipt, delivered to the cable company or delivered by hand to the addressee or its agent, respectively. SECTION 16. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Notes or Obligations. -------------------------------------------------------------- This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, (ii) be binding upon each Pledgor, its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder, to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Note held by it or Obligation owing to it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise with -10- respect to such of the Notes or Obligations so transferred or assigned, subject, however, to compliance with the provisions of Section 9.7 of the Agreement in respect of assignments. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, each Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. SECTION 17. Governing Law; Severability; Terms. This Pledge Agreement shall ---------------------------------- be governed by, and be construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. Wherever possible, each provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Agreement, terms defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York are used herein as therein defined. SECTION 18. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Pledgor waives any right it may have -------------------- to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on, or arising out of, under or in connection with, this Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, verbal or written statement or other action of any Loan Party or any Secured Party. SECTION 19. Limitation of Liability. Any term or provision of this Pledge ----------------------- Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, as to a DJT Entity the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations which the Collateral pledged hereby by such DJT Entity shall secure shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such DJT Entity can be liable without rendering this Pledge Agreement and the Liens granted hereunder or any other Loan Document, in each case only as it relates to such DJT Entity, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer. SECTION 20. Contribution. To the extent that, with respect to any DJT ------------ Entity, proceeds of Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such DJT Entity are applied to payment of the Obligations and the amount of such payment exceeds the amount determined by dividing such DJT Entity's net worth at the date enforcement hereunder is sought by the aggregate net worth at such date of all the DJT Entities who are party to this Pledge Agreement or the Security Agreement, such DJT Entity shall be reimbursed, pursuant to this provision and a comparable provision in the Security Agreement (to which each DJT Entity a party thereto but not hereto is a third party beneficiary), by such other DJT Entities to the end that, if any Pledged Collateral of any DJT Entity is so applied, all DJT Entities who are party to -11 this Pledge Agreement or the Security Agreement shall contribute to payment of the obligations in the relative proportions of their respective net worths at the date enforcement hereunder is sought. SECTION 21. Section Titles. The Section titles contained in this Pledge -------------- Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not part of this Pledge Agreement. -12- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Pledgor has duly executed and delivered this Pledge Agreement on the date first above written.
