                 AMENDMENT TO TRUMP TAJ MAHAL HOTEL & CASINO 
                            RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
 
  This amendment to the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel & Casino Retirement Savings Plan
(the "Plan") is dated as of the 1st day of January, 1994.
 
  WHEREAS, the Employer has adopted the Plan effective as of January 1, 1989;
and
 
  WHEREAS, the Employer wishes to amend the Plan to clarify and/or provide
certain additional provisions, effective as of January 1, 1989, unless
otherwise provided herein.
 
  NOW THEREFORE, the Employer, intending to be legally bound, adopts this
amendment to the Plan as follows:
 
    1. Section 1.11 of the plan is hereby amended, to add to the end of the
  first paragraph: "Compensation that may be taken into account in
  determining Employer contributions on behalf of any Participant shall be
  limited to no more than $200,000 (as adjusted) in Plan Years beginning
  before January 1, 1994, and to $150,000 (as adjusted) in Plan Years
  beginning on or after November 1, 1994, in accordance with IRC Code Section
  401(a)(17) and Regulation Section 1.401(a)(17)-1. In addition, for purposes
  of applying the annual compensation limit under Section 401(a)(17) of the
  Code, the family unit of a participant who is either a 5% owner of Employer
  or who is both a highly compensated employee and one of the 10 most highly
  compensated employees of Employer, will be treated as a single employee
  with one compensation, and the annual compensation limit will be allocated
  among the members of the family unit. Such compensation limit shall be
  proportioned among the family unit pro rata based on the compensation of
  each member of the family unit prior to such limitation. For this purpose,
  a family unit is the employee who is a 5% owner of Employer or one of the
  10 most highly compensated employees, the employee's spouse, and the
  employee's lineal descendants who have not attained age 19 before the close
  of the year.
 
    2. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1.6 to the contrary:
 
      (a) In the case of a highly compensated employee whose actual
    deferral ratio (ADR) is determined under the family aggregation rules,
    the determination of the amount of excess contributions shall be made
    as follows: The ADR is reduced in accordance with the "leveling" method
    described in Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(2) of the regulations and the excess
    contributions are allocated among the family members in proportion to
    the contributions of each family member that have been combined.
 
      (b) Non-elective contributions and matching contributions may be
    treated as elective contributions for purposes of the actual deferral
    percentage test of Section 401(k) only if such contributions are non-
    forfeitable and made subject to the same distribution restrictions that
    apply to elective contributions. Non-elective contributions and
    matching contributions that may be treated as elective contributions
    must satisfy these requirements without regard to whether they are
    actually taken into account as elective contributions.
 
      (c) Non-elective contributions and/or matching contributions may be
    treated as elective contributions only if the conditions described in
    Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(5) of the regulations are satisfied.
 
      (d) In the case of a highly compensated employee whose actual
    contribution ratio (ACR) is determined under the family aggregation
    rules, the determination of the amount of excess aggregate
    contributions shall be made as follows: The ACR is reduced in
    accordance with the "leveling" method described in Section 1.401(m)-
    1(e)(2) of the regulations and the excess aggregate contributions are
    allocated among the family members in proportion to contributions of
    each family member that have been combined.
