with respect to other Holders. Any notice when mailed to a Holder in the
aforesaid manner shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such
Holder whether or not actually received by such Holder. Where this Indenture
provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the

reliance upon such waiver.

of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event as
required by any provision of this Indenture, then any method of giving such
notice as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be
a sufficient giving of such notice.

      So long as this Senior Note constitutes a Registrable Series A Note (as
defined in the Indenture), the Holder hereof is entitled to certain liquidated
damages provided for in Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement in the
event, as more fully described therein, that, and so long as, the Issuer fails

Securities Act (as defined in the Indenture).

      The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person
in whose name this Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Senior Notes) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such

be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the
Person in whose name this Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Senior Notes)
is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment
of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of Senior Notes not less than ten days prior to such Special
Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

      Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Senior
Note will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that
purpose in The City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the Issuer
as may be maintained for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United

public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be
made at the option of the Issuer by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Senior Note Register.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Indenture by manual signature, this Senior Note shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

      Section 2.3 Form of Reverse of the Senior Notes

      The form of the reverse of the Senior Notes shall be substantially as
follows:

      This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Notes of the
Issuer designated as its [If Series A Notes, then insert - 10 1/4% Series A
Senior Secured Notes due 2003 (the "Series A Notes")] [If Series B Notes, then
insert - 10 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2003 (the "Series B Notes")] issued
under an Indenture, dated as of April 17, 1998 (herein called the "Indenture"),
between the Issuer, U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking
association, as trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture) and Trump's Castle Associates, L.P., a
New Jersey limited partnership (the "Partnership"), as guarantor [If Series A
Notes, then insert - , together with the 10 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2003
of the Issuer (the "Series B Notes", and collectively with the Series A Notes,
the "Senior Notes")] [If Series B Notes, then insert - , together with the 10
1/4% Series A Senior Secured Notes due 2003 of the Issuer (the "Series A Notes,"
and collectively with the Series B Notes, the "Senior Notes")]. The Senior Notes
are limited in aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000. Reference is
hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations
and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Partnership, other
obligors thereunder and the Holders of the Senior Notes, and of the terms upon
which the Senior Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

      If the Issuer or the Partnership is served with notice of the
disqualification of any Holder under N.J.S.A. ss. 5:12-105(d) by the CCC, such
Holder will be prohibited under N.J.S.A. ss. 5:12-105(e) from (a) receiving
interest on the Senior Notes held by such Holder, (b) exercising directly or
through any trustee or nominee, any right conferred on such Senior Notes and (c)
receiving any remuneration in any form from any company licensed by the CCC
(including the Issuer, the Partnership and the Trustee) for services rendered or
otherwise.

      The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness on this Senior Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants
and related Defaults and Events of Default, in each case upon compliance with
certain conditions set forth therein.

      In the event of a Total Taking or Casualty, the Issuer or the Partnership
shall, within 60 days after receipt of any condemnation or insurance proceeds,
but in all events within one year after the occurrence of such Total Taking or
Casualty, redeem the Senior Notes at 100% of the


                                      -29-
<PAGE>

principal amount thereof, in each case, together with accrued and unpaid
interest through the Redemption Date, all as provided in the Indenture.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder by accepting a Senior Note
agrees that if the CCC does not waive the qualification requirement as to the
Holder (whether the record owner or beneficial owner) of this Senior Note and
requires that the Holder be qualified under the New Jersey Casino Control Act,
then, in such event, the Holder must qualify under such Act. If the Holder does
not so qualify, the Holder must dispose of its interest in this Senior Note,
within 30 days (or within such earlier date as the CCC may require) after the
Issuer's receipt of notice of such finding, or the Issuer may redeem this Senior
Note at the lower of the Outstanding Amount and the Fair Market Value of this
Senior Note, without premium, all as provided in the Indenture.

      In the case of any redemption of Senior Notes, interest installments whose
Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the
Holders of such Senior Notes (or one or more Predecessor Senior Notes), of
record at the close of business on the relevant Record Date referred to on the
face hereof. Senior Notes (or portions thereof) for whose redemption and payment
provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest
from and after the date fixed for redemption.

      In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior
Note or Senior Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

      If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, there may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture the principal of this Senior Note, plus all accrued and unpaid
interest to and including the date this Senior Note is paid.

      If a Change of Control occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the
right to require that the Issuer repurchase such Holder's Senior Notes in whole
or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 at a purchase price in cash in an
amount equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest (including any Defaulted Interest), if any, to the date of purchase.

      The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
amendments and modifications of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the
Partnership and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture and the TCHI Note
Mortgage Documents at any time by the Issuer, the Partnership, and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Senior Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer or the
Partnership with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such


                                      -30-
<PAGE>

consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Senior Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Senior Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Note.

      No reference herein to the Indenture or to the TCHI Note Mortgage
Documents and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture or of the
TCHI Note Mortgage Documents shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer,
the Partnership or any other obligor under the Senior Notes (in the event the
Partnership or any such obligor is obligated to make payments in respect of the
Senior Notes), which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on this Senior Note at the times, place, and rate,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

      As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is registrable on the Senior Note
Register of the Issuer, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of
transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose in
The City of New York or at such other office or agency of the Issuer as may be
maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Senior Note
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes, of authorized denominations
and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

      The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, such Senior
Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes of
a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.

      No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange or redemption of Senior Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.

      Prior to and at the time of due presentment of this Senior Note for
registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or
the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

      Notwithstanding anything herein (including the Senior Guarantee) or in any
other agreement, document, certificate, instrument, statement or omission
referred to below to the contrary, the Partnership and the Issuer are liable
hereunder only to the extent of the assets of the Partnership and the Issuer and
no other person or entity, including, but not limited to, any

any of the foregoing, or any successor, personal representative, heir or assign
of any of the foregoing, in each case past, present, or as they may exist in the
future, shall be liable in any respect (including without limitation the breach
of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, condition or
indemnification or contribution undertaking contained herein or therein) under,
in connection with, arising out of, or relating to this Senior Note, the
Indenture, the TCHI Note Mortgage Documents or any other agreement, document,
certificate, instrument or statement (oral or written) related to, executed or
to be executed, delivered or to be delivered, or made or to be made, or any
omission made or to be made, in connection with any of the foregoing or any of
the transactions contemplated in any such agreement, document, certificate,
instrument or statement.

      Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, conveyance,
transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets
of the Issuer or the Partnership in accordance with the Indenture, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the successor Person to such
transaction shall become the obligor or guarantor on this Senior Note and the
TCHI Note Mortgage Documents and the Issuer or Partnership, as the case may be,
shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Senior Note,
the TCHI Note Mortgage Documents and the Indenture.

      All terms used in this Senior Note which are defined in the Indenture and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.

Senior Secured Notes due 2003" of the Issuer and the Series B Notes shall be
known and designated as the " 10 1/4% Series B Senior Secured Notes due 2003" of
the Issuer. The Senior Notes shall be known and designated as the " 10 1/4%
Senior Secured Notes due 2003" of the Issuer. The Stated Maturity of the Senior
Notes shall be April 30, 2003. The Senior Notes, shall bear interest on the
principal amount thereof at the rate of 10 1/4% per annum (subject, in the case
of the Series A Notes, to certain liquidation damages provided for in the

in each year, commencing October 31, 1998, until the principal thereof is paid

lawful) or premium, if any, shall be payable on demand.

      The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Senior Notes shall be
payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose in The
City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the Issuer as may be
maintained for such purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Issuer
interest may be paid by check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled
thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Senior Note Register.

      The Senior Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven.

      At the election of the Issuer and the Partnership, the entire indebtedness

and covenants and certain Events of Default thereunder may be defeased as
provided in Article Four.

      The Senior Notes shall be secured as provided in Article Twelve.

      If the Issuer or the Partnership is served with notice of the
disqualification of any Holder under N.J.S.A. ss.5:12-105(d) by the CCC, such
Holder will be prohibited under N.J.S.A. ss. 5:12-105(e) from (a) receiving
interest on the Senior Notes held by such Holder, (b) exercising directly or
through any trustee or nominee, any right conferred on such Senior Notes and (c)
receiving any remuneration in any form from any company licensed by the CCC
(including the Issuer, the Partnership and the Trustee) for services rendered or
otherwise.

      Section 3.2 Denominations.

      The Senior Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons
and only in denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples thereof.

      Section 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

      The Senior Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by its Chairman
of the Board of Directors, Vice Chairman, its President or one of its Vice
Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its
Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these
officers on the Senior Notes may be manual or facsimile.

      Senior Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Senior Notes or did not
hold such offices on the date of such Senior Notes.

      At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Senior Notes executed by the Issuer to the
Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication
and delivery of such Senior Notes; and the Trustee in accordance with such
Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Senior Notes as provided in
this Indenture and not otherwise.

      Each Senior Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

      No Senior Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Senior Note a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly
executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such
certificate upon any Senior Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Senior Note has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.

      In case the Issuer or the Partnership, pursuant to Article Eight, shall be
consolidated, merged with or into any other Person or shall sell, convey,
assign, transfer or lease substantially all of its properties and assets to any
Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving
such merger, or into which the Issuer or the Partnership shall have


                                      -35-
<PAGE>

been consolidated or merged, or the Person which shall have received a
conveyance, transfer or lease as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture
supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight, any of the
Senior Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer or lease may, from time to time, at the request of the
successor Person, be exchanged for other Senior Notes executed in the name of
the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be
appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Senior Notes
surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee,
upon the request of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Senior
Notes as specified in such Request for the purpose of such exchange. If Senior
Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a
successor Person pursuant to this Section in exchange or substitution for or
upon registration of transfer of any Senior Notes, such successor Person, at the
option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the
exchange of all Senior Notes at the time Outstanding for Senior Notes
authenticated and delivered in such new name.

      The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer
to authenticate Senior Notes on behalf of the Trustee. Unless limited by the
terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Senior Notes
whenever the Trustee may do so except upon original issuance. Each reference in
this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Senior Note Registrar
or Paying Agent to deal with the Issuer and its Affiliates.

      Section 3.4 Temporary Securities.

      Pending the preparation of definitive Senior Notes, the Issuer may
execute, and upon order of the Issuer the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Senior Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Senior Notes in lieu of which they
are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as the officers executing such Senior Notes may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such temporary Senior Notes.

      If temporary Senior Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive
Senior Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Senior Notes, the temporary Senior Notes shall be exchangeable for
definitive Senior Notes upon surrender of the temporary Senior Notes at the
office or agency of the Issuer designated for such purpose pursuant to Section
10.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one
or more temporary Senior Notes the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Senior Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the
temporary Senior Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Senior Notes.

      Section 3.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

      The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, or such other office as the Trustee may designate, a register (the
register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated
pursuant to Section 10.2 being herein sometimes referred to as the "Senior Note
Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Senior Note
Registrar may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Senior
Notes and of transfers of Senior Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially
appointed "Senior Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Senior Notes
and transfers of Senior Notes as herein provided.

      Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Senior Note in
certificated form at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to
Section 10.2, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Senior Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount.

      At the option of the Holder, Senior Notes may be exchanged for other
Senior Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Senior Notes to be exchanged
at such office or agency. Whenever any such Senior Notes are so surrendered for
exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Senior Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

      All Senior Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Senior Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same
Indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Senior Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

      Every Senior Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer,
or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Issuer or the
Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Senior Note Registrar, duly executed
by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

      No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange or redemption of Senior Notes, but the Issuer may require
payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Senior Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 3.3, 3.4, 9.6, 10.13, or 11.10 not involving any
transfer.

      The Issuer shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Senior Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Senior Notes selected
for redemption under Section 11.6 and ending


                                      -37-
<PAGE>

at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Senior Note so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of Senior Notes being redeemed in part.

      All Series A Notes issued hereunder shall bear the following legend:

      THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION
EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY
NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN
APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND IN ANY EVENT MAY BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INDENTURE, COPIES OF WHICH ARE AVAILABLE
FOR INSPECTION AT THE CORPORATE TRUST OFFICE OF THE TRUSTEE. THE EXEMPTION
PROVIDED BY RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO PERMIT SALE
OR TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY TO QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYERS (WITHIN THE
MEANING OF RULE 144A) WITH REGISTRATION.

      EACH HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY REPRESENTS TO THE ISSUER THAT (A) SUCH HOLDER
WILL NOT SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY (WITHOUT CONSENT OF THIS
ISSUER) PRIOR TO TWO YEARS FROM THE LATER OF APRIL 17, 1998 OR THE DATE ON WHICH
THIS SECURITY WAS LAST HELD BY AN AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER OTHER THAN (I) TO A
QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION COMPLYING WITH RULE 144A, (II) TO
A NON-U.S. PERSON IN A TRANSACTION COMPLYING WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT, (III) FOLLOWING ONE YEAR FROM SUCH TIME, IN A TRANSACTION
COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (IV) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IT BEING
UNDERSTOOD THAT AS A CONDITION TO THE REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF ANY
SECURITIES, THE ISSUER OR THE TRUSTEE MAY IN CIRCUMSTANCES EITHER OF THEM
BELIEVES APPROPRIATE, REQUIRE EVIDENCE AS TO COMPLIANCE WITH ANY SUCH EXEMPTION)
AND THAT (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO NOTIFY
ANY PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN
(A) ABOVE.

      Each certificate evidencing a Series A Note (and all Senior Notes issued
in exchange therefor or substitution thereof), until such time as the same is no
longer a Series A Note, shall bear a legend in substantially the form set forth
on the Forms of Face of Security set forth in Section 2.2 hereof. Prior to any
transfer or exchange of a legended Series A Note for a Series B Note, the Issuer
shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee directing it to transfer
or exchange such Security for another or unlegended Note.

      Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Senior Notes.

      If (a) any mutilated Senior Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the
Issuer and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Senior Note, and there is delivered to the
Issuer and the Trustee, such security or indemnity, in each case, as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Senior Note has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its written request the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated
Senior Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note, a
replacement Senior Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously Outstanding.

      In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a replacement Senior Note, pay such Senior Note.

      Upon the issuance of any replacement Senior Notes under this Section, the
Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp
or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

      Every replacement Senior Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of
any destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, the Partnership and any other
obligor under the Senior Notes, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen
Senior Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Senior Notes duly issued hereunder.

      The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Notes.

      Section 3.7 Payment of Interest.

      Interest on any Senior Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name that Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Senior Notes) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest.

      Any interest on any Senior Note which is payable, but is not punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date and interest on such
defaulted interest at the then applicable interest rate borne by the Senior
Notes, to the extent lawful (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein
collectively called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be


                                      -39-
<PAGE>

payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date; and such Defaulted Interest
may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in
Subsection (a) or (b) below:

      (a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the
Persons in whose names the Senior Notes (or their respective Predecessor Senior
Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following
manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Senior Note and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee
an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect
of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money
when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
such Defaulted Interest as in this Subsection provided. Thereupon the Trustee
shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which
shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of
the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee
of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Issuer in writing of such Special Record Date. In the name and at the expense of
the Issuer, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the
Senior Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to
the Persons in whose names the Senior Notes (or their respective Predecessor
Senior Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be
payable pursuant to the following Subsection (b).

      (b) The Issuer may make payment to the Persons in whose name the Senior
Notes are registered at the close of business on the Special Record Date of any
Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Senior Notes may be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, unless, after written
notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to
this Subsection, such manner of payment shall not be deemed practicable by the
Trustee (acting reasonably). The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the
Issuer of any such determination.

      Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Senior Note
delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Senior Note shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Senior Note.

      Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners.

      Prior to and at the time of due presentment for registration of transfer,
the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name any Senior Note is registered as the owner of such Senior
Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
(subject to Section 3.7) interest on such Senior Note and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Senior Note is overdue, and neither the Issuer,
the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

      Section 3.9 Cancellation.

      All Senior Notes surrendered for payment, purchase, redemption or
registration of transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee and, if
not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer and the
Partnership may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Senior
Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer or the
Partnership may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Senior Notes so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Senior Notes shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Senior Notes cancelled as
provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All
cancelled Senior Notes held by the Trustee shall be destroyed and certification
of their destruction delivered to the Issuer unless by an Issuer Order the
Issuer shall direct that the cancelled Senior Notes be returned to it. The
Trustee shall provide the Issuer a list of all Senior Notes that have been
cancelled from time to time as requested by the Issuer.

      Section 3.10 Computation of Interest.

      Interest on the Senior Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months.

      Section 3.11 Non-recourse.

      Notwithstanding anything herein (including the Senior Guarantee) or in any
other agreement, document, certificate, instrument, statement or omission
referred to below to the contrary, the Issuer and the Partnership are liable
hereunder and under the Senior Notes only to the extent of the assets of the
Issuer and the Partnership and the interest of the Issuer in the Senior Notes
and no other person or entity, including, but not limited to, any partner,
officer, committee or committee member of the Partnership or any partner therein
or of any Affiliate of the Partnership, or any incorporator, officer, director
or shareholder of the Issuer, or any Affiliate or controlling Person or entity
of any of the foregoing, or any agent, employee or lender of any of the
foregoing, or any successor, personal representative, heir or assign of any of
the foregoing, in each case past, present, or as they may exist in the future,
shall be liable in any respect (including without limitation the breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant,


                                      -41-
<PAGE>

agreement, condition or indemnification or contribution undertaking contained
herein or therein) under, in connection with, arising out of, or relating to
this Indenture or any other agreement, document, certificate, instrument or
statement (oral or written) related to, executed or to be executed, delivered or
to be delivered, or made or to be made, or any omission made or to be made, in
connection with any of the foregoing or any of the transactions contemplated in
any such agreement, document, certificate, instrument or statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders preserve any personal claims they may
have for fraud, liabilities under the Securities Act, and other liabilities that
cannot be waived under applicable federal and state laws in connection with the
purchase of the Senior Notes; provided, however, that such conduct shall not
constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture, the Senior Notes or the
Senior Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage or any document executed in
conjunction therewith or otherwise related thereto. Any agreement, document,
certificate, statement or other instrument to be executed simultaneously with,
in connection with, arising out of or relating to this Indenture, the Senior
Notes or any other agreement, document, certificate, statement or instrument
referred to above, or any agreement, document, certificate, statement or
instrument contemplated hereby shall contain language mutatis mutandis to this
paragraph and, if such language is omitted, shall be deemed to contain such
language.

                                    ARTICLE 4

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

      Section 4.1 Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

      The Issuer or the Partnership may, at their option, by Board Resolution,
at any time, with respect to the Senior Notes, elect to have either Section 4.2
or Section 4.3 be applied to all of the Outstanding Senior Notes (the "Defeased
Senior Notes"), upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this
Article Four.

      Section 4.2 Defeasance and Discharge.

      Upon the Issuer's or the Partnership's exercise under Section 4.1 of the
option applicable to this Section 4.2, each of the Issuer, the Partnership and
any other obligor under the Senior Notes shall be deemed to have been discharged
from its obligations with respect to the Defeased Senior Notes on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this
purpose, such defeasance means that the Issuer and the Partnership shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the
Defeased Senior Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only
for the purposes of Section 4.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other
obligations under such Senior Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Senior
Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, and, upon
written request of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
the same), except for the following


                                      -42-
<PAGE>

which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the
rights of Holders of Defeased Senior Notes to receive solely from the trust fund
described in Section 4.4 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments
in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Senior
Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Issuer's obligations with respect to
such Defeased Senior Notes under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3, (c) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and (d) this Article Four. Subject to compliance with this Article
Four, the Issuer and the Partnership may exercise their option under this
Section 4.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under Section 4.3
with respect to the Senior Notes.

      Section 4.3 Covenant Defeasance.

      Upon the Issuer's or the Partnership's exercise under Section 4.1 of the
option applicable to this Section 4.3, each of the Issuer, the Partnership and
any other obligor under the Senior Notes shall be released from its obligations
under any covenant or provision contained in Sections 8.1(a)(ii), (iii)(B), and
(v)(B), 8.1(b)(ii), (iv), (v) and (vii)(B), 10.5 through 10.17, 10.19 and 10.21,
and Article Twelve shall not apply with respect to the Defeased Senior Notes on
and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
"covenant defeasance"), and the Defeased Senior Notes shall thereafter be deemed
to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding"
for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance
means that, with respect to the Defeased Senior Notes, the Issuer, the
Partnership and any such obligor may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
Section or Article, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein, in such Defeased Senior Notes or in the TCHI Note Mortgage
Documents or other documents to any such Section or Article or by reason of any
reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 5.1(c) but, except as specified above and in the
following sentence, the remainder of this Indenture and such Defeased Senior
Notes shall be unaffected thereby. Upon any covenant defeasance, the events set
forth in Sections 5.1(d), (e), (i) and (k) shall not constitute Defaults or
Events of Default hereunder and any cross-reference in the Senior Partnership
Upstream Note Mortgage to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture
shall not be deemed to include such Defaults or Events of Default.

      Section 4.4 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

      The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 4.2
or Section 4.3 to the Defeased Senior Notes:

      (1) The Issuer or the Partnership shall irrevocably have deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
requirements of Section 6.8 who


                                      -43-
<PAGE>

shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Four applicable to it)
as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of
the Holders of such Senior Notes, (a) money in an amount, or (b) U.S. Government
Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in
respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one
day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (c) a combination
thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge and which shall be applied by the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Defeased Senior Notes on the Stated
Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any
mandatory payments applicable to the Outstanding Senior Notes on the day on
which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture and of such Senior Notes; provided, that the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee) shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money
or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with
respect to the Senior Notes. For this purpose, "U.S. Government Obligations"
means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America
for the timely payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii)
obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or
instrumentality of the United States of America the timely payment of which is
unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United
States of America, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the
option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued
by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act), as custodian
with respect to any such obligation or a specific payment of principal of or
interest on any such obligation held by such custodian for the account of the
holder of such depository receipt, provided, that (except as required by law)
such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable
to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the
custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment
of principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such
depository receipt.

      (2) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
on the date of such deposit or, insofar as subsections 5.1(g) and (h) are
concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date
of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
satisfied until the expiration of such period).

      (3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee for
the Senior Notes to have a conflicting interest in violation of Section 6.7 and
for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the
Issuer or any other obligor under the Senior Notes.

      (4) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default or event of default under, this Indenture
or any other material agreement


                                      -44-
<PAGE>

or instrument to which the Issuer, the Partnership or any other obligor under
the Senior Notes is a party or by which it is bound.

      (5) In the case of an election under Section 4.2, the Issuer shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Issuer or
the Partnership, as the case may be, has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date
hereof, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm
that, the Holders of the Outstanding Senior Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and
will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not
occurred.

      (6) In the case of an election under Section 4.3, the Issuer or the
Partnership, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Senior Notes will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result
of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

      (7) The Issuer or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit made
by the Issuer or the Partnership, as the case may be, pursuant to its election
under Section 4.2 or 4.3 was not made by the Issuer or the Partnership, as the
case may be, with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors
of the Issuer or the Partnership with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or the Partnership, as the case
may be, or others.

      (8) The Issuer or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that all conditions precedent (other than conditions requiring the
passage of time) provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section
4.2 or the covenant defeasance under Section 4.3 (as the case may be) have been
complied with as contemplated by this Section 4.4. Opinions required to be
delivered under this Section may have qualifications customary for opinions of
the type required.

      Section 4.5 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

      Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money
and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with
the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee--collectively for purposes of this
Section 4.5, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 4.4 in respect of the Defeased
Senior Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Senior Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its
own


                                      -45-
<PAGE>

Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Defeased
Senior Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal,
premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.

      The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 4.4 or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for
the account of the Holders of the Defeased Senior Notes.

      Anything in this Article Four to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon Issuer Request any
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 4.4
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be
deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance.

      Section 4.6 Reinstatement.

      If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.2 or 4.3, as the case may
be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Issuer's and the Partnership's obligations under this Indenture and the Senior
Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 4.2 or 4.3, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 4.2 or 4.3, as the case may be; provided, however,
that if the Issuer makes any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest
on any Senior Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Senior Notes to receive
such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

      (k) an "Event of Default" under the Senior Partnership Upstream Note

Indenture or the Mortgage Note Indenture, shall have occurred and is continuing;

      (l) an entity, which at the time, directly or indirectly, holds general

      (m) the Issuer ceases to be the general partner of the Partnership.

      Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

      If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 5.1(g) or (h)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Senior Notes may, and the Trustee upon the request of the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes
shall, declare the principal of all the Senior Notes to be due and payable
immediately in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Senior Notes,
together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date the Senior Notes become
due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee, if
given by the Holders) unless on or prior to such amounts having become due and
payable the Issuer shall have discharged or paid in full the Indebtedness, if
any, that is the subject of such Event of Default and shall have given written
notice of such cure to the Trustee (which notice in the case of an Event of
Default specified in Section 5.1(d) shall be countersigned by the holders of the
Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default or by a trustee,
fiduciary or agent for such Holders). If an Event of Default specified in
Section 5.1(g) or (h) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of all the
Senior Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

      At any time after such declaration of acceleration has been made and
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes, by written notice
to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if:

      (a) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay

      (i) all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.6 and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel,


                                      -49-
<PAGE>

      (ii) all overdue interest on all such Senior Notes,

      (iii) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Senior Notes which have
become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest
thereon at the rate borne by the Senior Notes, and

      (iv) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon
overdue interest at the rate borne by such Senior Notes; and

      (b) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of
Senior Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

      No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon as provided in Section 5.13.

      Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee.

The Issuer and the Partnership covenants that if

      (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Senior Note when
such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of
30 days, or

      (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any,
on any Senior Note at the Stated Maturity thereof,

the Issuer and the Partnership will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for
the benefit of the Holders of such Senior Notes, the whole amount then due and
payable on such Senior Notes for principal and premium, if any, and interest,
with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue
installments of interest, at the rate borne by the Senior Notes; and, in
addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

      If the Issuer or the Partnership, as the case may be, fails to pay such
amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of
the sums so due and unpaid and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer, the Partnership or
any other obligor upon the Senior Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or
decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Issuer, the Partnership or any other obligor upon the Senior Notes, wherever
situated.

      If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion (i) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders under this Indenture, the Senior Guarantee or the Senior Partnership
Upstream Note Mortgage (subject to the terms thereof) by such appropriate
private or judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce such rights, including, without limitation, any rights or
powers conferred on the Trustee pursuant to the Senior Partnership Upstream Note
Mortgage and seeking recourse against the Partnership pursuant to the terms of
the Senior Guarantee, or (ii) to proceed to protect and enforce the rights of
the Trustee and the Holders of Senior Notes under the Senior Partnership
Upstream Note Mortgage by such appropriate private or judicial proceedings as
the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in the Senior
Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, including, without
limitation, seeking recourse against the Partnership pursuant to the terms of
the Senior Guarantee, appointment of a receiver for the Collateral and
foreclosure, realization and sale of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of the
Senior Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage. The Trustee shall be entitled to sue
and recover judgment as aforesaid or to sue to enforce any Lien under the Senior
Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage, in either case, either before, after or
during the pendency of any other proceeding for the enforcement of any Lien
under the Senior Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage, and the right of the
Trustee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any sale under the
Senior Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage or by the exercise of any right, power
or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of the Senior Partnership
Upstream Note Mortgage, or the foreclosure or enforcement of any Lien of the
Senior Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage. No recovery of any such judgment upon
any property of the Issuer or the Partnership shall affect or impair the Lien on
the Collateral or any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders.

      Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

      In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer, the Partnership or any other obligor
upon the Senior Notes or the property of the Issuer, the Partnership or such
other obligor, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Senior
Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

      (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, and
premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Senior Notes
and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and


                                      -51-
<PAGE>

      (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the
Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.6.

      Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Senior
Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote
in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

      Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of the Senior
Notes.

      All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Senior Notes
may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of
the Senior Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto,
and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.

      Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected.

      Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be
applied, subject to applicable law, in the following order, at the date or dates
fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account
of principal, premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Senior
Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon
surrender thereof if fully paid:

      FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.6;

      SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Senior

Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest;

      THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto,
including the Issuer.

continuing Event of Default;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture or the Senior Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage or the Senior
Guarantee to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to
obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in this
Indenture, the Senior Guarantee or the Senior Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage
and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of the Holders.

instituted.

      Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

      Except as provided in Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of

permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other

      No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Senior Note to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any

the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may

this Indenture, the Senior Guarantee Mortgage or the Senior Partnership Upstream
Note Mortgage or expose the Trustee to personal liability; and

      (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
which is not inconsistent with such direction.

this Indenture or the TCHI Note Mortgage Documents, or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing
by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by

any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or
forgive the Issuer, the Partnership or any such obligor from paying all or any
portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Senior Notes


                                      -55-

contemplated herein or in the Senior Notes or which may affect the covenants or
the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Issuer, the Partnership and
any such obligor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

      Section 5.16 Unconditional Right of Holders to Institute Certain Suits.

      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any other
provision of any Senior Note, the right of any Holder of any Senior Note to
receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such

and the TCHI Note Guarantee Mortgage, and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

      (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon certificates therein, upon certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements to this Indenture or
the Senior Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage or the TCHI Note Guarantee
Mortgage; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, the Senior Partnership
Upstream Note Mortgage and the TCHI Note Guarantee Mortgage.

      (b) In case of an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

      (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that

      (1) this Subsection (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of
Subsection (a) of this Section 6.1;

      (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was

risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such
notice is in the interest of the Holders; and provided, further, that in the
case of any Default of the character specified in Section 5.1(c) no such notice
to Holders shall be given until at least 15 days after the occurrence thereof.

negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder;

      Section 6.3 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Dispositions of Senior
Notes or Application of Proceeds Thereof; etc.

      The recitals contained herein and in the Senior Notes, except the
Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of
the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Senior Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is
duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Senior
Notes and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it
in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 to be supplied to
the Issuer will be true and accurate subject to the qualifications set forth
therein. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Issuer of Senior Notes or the proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under
Section 5.1(a) or (b) hereunder) unless and until the Trustee shall have
received notice of such Event of Default or obtained actual knowledge thereof.
The Trustee's receipt of reports and documents pursuant to Section 7.4 and
Section 10.18 hereof shall not constitute constructive knowledge of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including compliance with the covenants set forth in Article 10 hereof.
Except as expressly provided in this Indenture and except with respect to
Section 10.1 hereof, the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to inquire
as to the compliance with the covenants set forth in Article 10 hereof.

      Section 6.4 Trustee and Agents May Hold Senior Notes; Collections; Etc.

      The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Senior Note Registrar or any other agent of
the Issuer, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Senior Notes, with the same rights it would have if it were not the
Trustee, Paying Agent, Senior Note Registrar or such other agent and, subject to
Sections 310 and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the
Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with
the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Senior
Note Registrar or such other agent.

      Section 6.5 Money Held in Trust.

      All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein
provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by

the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by
it hereunder.

      Section 6.6 Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior
Claim.

      The Issuer and the Partnership covenant and agree to pay to the Trustee
from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by it


                                      -60-
<PAGE>

hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Partnership covenants and
agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ), except
any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from such Trustee's
negligence or bad faith. The Issuer and the Partnership also covenant to
indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability, tax, assessment or other governmental charge
(other than taxes applicable to the Trustee's compensation hereunder) or expense
incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts
hereunder and its duties hereunder including enforcement of this Section 6.6 and
also including any liability which the Trustee may incur as a result of failure
to withhold, pay or report any tax, assessment or other governmental charge, and
the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of
liability in the premises. The obligations of the Issuer and the Partnership
under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute an additional obligation
hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

      To secure the Issuer's and the Partnership's payment obligations in this
Section 6.6, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Senior Notes on all
money and property held or collected by the Trustee or any receiver Trustee,
assignee, liquidator, sequestrator, custodian or similar officer in Trustee's
stead except such money or property held in trust to pay principal of (or
premium, if any) and interest on particular Senior Notes. Such Lien shall
survive satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, and will be an additional
obligation of the Partnership hereunder.

      Section 6.7 Conflicting Interests.

      (a) If the Trustee has or acquires any conflicting interest, as defined in
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall, within ninety days after
ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, either eliminate such
conflicting interest or resign in the manner and with the effect set forth in
Section 6.9(b).

      (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions
of the preceding subsection (a) of this Section, the Trustee shall, within ten
days after the expiration of such ninety day period, transmit notice of such
failure to the Holders, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 7.3
with respect to reports.

      Section 6.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

      There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state or territory or District of Columbia, authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $100,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by
federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining
authority, and having a Corporate Trust Office in The City of New York to the
extent there is such an institution eligible and willing to serve. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in
this Article.

      Section 6.9 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee.

      (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.10.

      (b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at
any time resign by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument executed by authority of the Board of Directors of
the Issuer, a copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and a
copy to the successor trustee. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, or any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Senior Note for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court
may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a
successor trustee.

      (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by an Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Senior Notes, delivered to
the Trustee and to the Issuer.

      (d) If at any time:

      (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 6.7
after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Senior Note for at least six months, or


                                      -62-
<PAGE>

      (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 hereof and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such
Holder, or

      (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, or

      (4) the CCC determines that the Trustee is required to be licensed or
found qualified or suitable and the Trustee does not become so licensed or found
qualified or suitable within such period as may be prescribed by the CCC,

then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14 hereof, the Holder of any Senior Note
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Senior Note for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it
may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee.

      (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Issuer,
by a Board Resolution, shall promptly, upon approval of the CCC, appoint a
successor Trustee which Trustee shall be licensed or found qualified or suitable
under the New Jersey Casino Control Act. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes delivered to the Issuer, upon
approval by the CCC and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed
shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor
Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no
successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders of
the Senior Notes and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided,
the Holder of any Senior Note who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six
months may, subject to Section 5.14 hereof, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

      (f) The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written
notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of
Senior Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Senior Note Register.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of
its Corporate Trust Office.

      Section 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

      Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Issuer and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee as if originally named as Trustee hereunder; but,
nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or the successor Trustee,
upon payment of its charges then unpaid, such retiring Trustee shall pay over to
the successor Trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

      Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any
and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act
shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or
collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.6.

      No successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 6.10 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible to act as Trustee under the
provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and have a Corporate Trust
Office in The City of New York.

      Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 6.10, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Holders of the
Senior Notes, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they
shall appear on the Senior Note Register. If the acceptance of appointment is
substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for
by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section
6.9. If the Issuer fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such
notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.

      Section 6.11 Merger, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

      Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be eligible under Section 310(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000 and have a Corporate Trust Office in the City of New York, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto.

<PAGE>

      In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the
trusts created by this Indenture any of the Senior Notes shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Senior
Notes so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Senior Notes shall
not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such
Senior Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of
the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the
full force which it is anywhere in the Senior Notes or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided that the right
to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to
authenticate Senior Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply
only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

and addresses of the Holders in accordance with the New Jersey Casino Control
Act or Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act, regardless of the source from
which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under
Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act.

      Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

Notes and this Indenture.

where Senior Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Senior
Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where

purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer

agencies (in or outside of The City of New York) where the Senior Notes may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time
rescind such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in The City of New York for such purposes. The Issuer will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

      Section 10.3 Money for Senior Note Payments to be Held in Trust.

      If the Issuer shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on
or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
of the Senior Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders
entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or
interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee
of its action or failure so to act.

      If the Issuer is not acting as Paying Agent, the Issuer will, on or before
each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Senior
Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent


                                      -75-
<PAGE>

a sum in same day funds sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of such action
or any failure so to act.

      If the Issuer is not acting as Paying Agent, the Issuer will cause each
Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

      (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Senior Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided;

      (b) give the Trustee notice of any Default by the Issuer or the
Partnership (or any other obligor upon the Senior Notes) in the making of any
deposit of principal, premium, if any, or interest;

      (c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the
written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in
trust by such Paying Agent; and

      (d) acknowledge, accept and agree to comply in all aspects with the
provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties, rights and disabilities of
such Paying Agent.

      The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by
the Issuer or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such money.

      Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Senior Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall (if
held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent) be paid to the Issuer on Issuer
Request, and shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Senior
Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof,
shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Issuer cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street
Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date


                                      -76-
<PAGE>

specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Issuer.

      Section 10.4 Issuer's and Partnership's Existence.

      Subject to Article Eight, the Issuer and the Partnership will do or cause
to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
the respective corporate or partnership existence, rights (charter and
statutory) and franchises of the Issuer and the Partnership; provided, however,
that the Issuer and the Partnership shall not be required to preserve any such
right or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall determine that
the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business
of the Issuer and the Partnership and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

      Section 10.5 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

      The Issuer and the Partnership each will, and will cause the Subsidiaries

Partnership or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the

that neither the Issuer, the Partnership nor any Subsidiary shall be required to
pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment,
charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings properly instituted and diligently

used or held for use in the conduct of the Issuer's or the Partnership's
business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good
condition, repair and working order (excepting reasonable wear and tear) and
supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in
the judgment of the Issuer or the Partnership may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously
conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall
prevent the Issuer or the Partnership from discontinuing or allowing the
discontinuance of the maintenance of any of such properties if such
discontinuance is, in the

judgment of the Issuer or the Partnership, desirable in the conduct of their

manner become directly or indirectly liable for the payment of, any Indebtedness
(including any Acquired Indebtedness, but excluding Permitted Indebtedness)
unless, in the case of Indebtedness of the Partnership and Acquired
Indebtedness, (a) the Partnership's Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for
the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such event, taken as one
period (and after giving pro forma effect to: (i) the incurrence of such

Indebtedness by the Partnership or the Subsidiaries since the first day of such
four-quarter period as if such Indebtedness were incurred, repaid or retired at

computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility
shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness
during such four-quarter period); and (iii) the acquisition (whether by
purchase, merger or otherwise) or disposition (whether by sale, merger or
otherwise) of any company, entity or business acquired or disposed of by the
Partnership or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, since the first day of such
four-quarter period, as if such acquisition or disposition occurred at the
beginning of such four-quarter period), would have been at least equal to a
ratio of 1.75 to 1.

and (b) except in the case of Permitted Indebtedness, Acquired Indebtedness or
Pari Passu Indebtedness, such Indebtedness created, incurred, assumed or
guaranteed pursuant to this Section (i) has an Average Life to Stated Maturity
that exceeds the remaining Average Life to Stated Maturity of the Senior Notes
and (ii) has a Stated Maturity for its final scheduled principal payment later
than the Stated Maturity for the final scheduled principal payment of the Senior
Notes and (c) if such Indebtedness created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed

Average Life to Stated Maturity no shorter than the remaining Average Life to
Stated Maturity of the Senior Notes and (ii) a Stated Maturity for its final
scheduled principal payment that is not earlier than the Stated Maturity for the
final scheduled principal payment of the Senior Notes.

      Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article Eleven to the contrary, if
the CCC does not waive the qualification requirements as to any Holder (whether
the record owner or beneficial owner) and requires that such Holder be qualified
under the New Jersey Casino Control Act, then, in such event, such Holder must

Partnership's receipt of notice of such finding (or within such earlier date as
the CCC may

all provisions relating to redemption of Senior Notes shall relate, in the case
of any Senior Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of
the principal amount of such Senior Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

      Section 11.7 Notice of Redemption.

      Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid,

the expense of the Issuer.

      The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In
any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the
Holder of any Senior Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other
Senior Note.

      On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer or the Partnership shall
deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or the

the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest
Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Senior Notes or portions thereof
which are to be redeemed on that date.

      Section 11.9 Senior Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

      Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Senior Notes so
to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the

until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by such
Senior Note.

      Section 11.10 Senior Notes Redeemed in Part.

      Any Senior Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
to the Paying Agent at the office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant
to Section 10.2 (with, if the Issuer, the Partnership, the Senior Note Registrar

      (a) In order to secure the due and punctual payment of the Indenture
Obligations, the Issuer, the Partnership and the Trustee have entered into the

interests thereunder and for related matters. The Issuer and the Partnership
covenant and agree that they have full right, power and lawful authority to
grant, bargain, sell, release, convey, hypothecate, assign, mortgage, pledge,
transfer, confirm and grant a security interest in the property constituting the
Collateral, in the manner and form done in the TCHI Note Mortgage Documents or
intended to be done, and that (a) each will forever warrant and defend the title
to the same against the claims of all Persons whatsoever in each case free and
clear of all Liens whatsoever, except Permitted Liens, (b) each will execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee such further assignments, transfers,
assurances or other instruments as the Trustee may reasonably require or
request, and (c) each will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as
may be necessary or proper, or as may be reasonably required by the Trustee, to
assure and confirm to the Trustee its interest in the Collateral, or any part
thereof, as from time to time constituted, and the right, title and interest in
and to the TCHI Note Mortgage Documents so as to render the same available for
the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Senior Notes.

      (b) Each Holder, by accepting a Senior Note, consents and agrees to all of
the terms and provisions of the TCHI Note Mortgage Documents, as the same may be
amended from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the TCHI Note Mortgage
Documents and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter
into the TCHI Note Mortgage Documents to which it is a party and to perform its
obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith;
provided, however, that if any provision of the TCHI Note Mortgage Documents
limits, qualifies, or conflicts with the duties imposed by the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act controls.

      (c) As amongst the Holders, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted
shall be held for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders without
preference, priority or distinction of any thereof over any other by reason of
difference in time of issuance, sale or otherwise, as security for the Indenture
Obligations.

                                SENIOR GUARANTEE

      Section 14.1 Partnership Senior Guarantee.

      For value received, the Partnership in accordance with this Article
Fourteen and, subject to Section 3.11 hereof, hereby absolutely, unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees to the Trustee and the Holders, as if the Partnership
were the principal debtor, the punctual payment and performance when due of all
Indenture Obligations (which for purposes of this Senior Guarantee shall also be
deemed to include all commissions, fees, charges, costs and other expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of one counsel) arising out

incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in connection with the enforcement of
this Senior Guarantee).

      Section 14.2 Continuing Guarantee; No Right of Set-Off; Independent
Obligation.

      (a) This Senior Guarantee shall be a continuing guarantee of the payment
and performance of all Indenture Obligations and shall remain in full force and
effect until the payment in full of all of the Indenture Obligations and shall
apply to and secure any ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to the Trustee
or the Holders; and this Senior Guarantee shall not be considered as wholly or
partially satisfied by the payment or liquidation at any time or from time to
time of any sum of money for the time being due or remaining unpaid to the
Trustee or the Holders. The Partnership covenants and agrees to comply with all
obligations, covenants, agreements and provisions applicable to it in this
Indenture including those set forth in Article Eight. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Partnership's liability shall extend to all
amounts which constitute part of the Indenture Obligations and would be owed by
the Issuer under this Indenture and the Senior Notes but for the fact that they
are unenforceable, reduced, limited, impaired, suspended or not allowable due to
the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving
the Issuer.

      (b) The Partnership hereby guarantees that the Indenture Obligations will
be paid to the Trustee without set-off or counterclaim or other reduction
whatsoever (whether for taxes, withholding or otherwise) in lawful currency of
the United States of America.

      (c) The Partnership guarantees that the Indenture Obligations shall be
paid strictly in accordance with their terms regardless of any law, regulation
or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
terms or the rights of the Holders of the Senior Notes.

      (d) The Partnership's liability to pay or perform or cause the performance
of the Indenture Obligations under this Senior Guarantee shall arise forthwith
after demand for payment or performance by the Trustee has been given to the
Partnership in the manner prescribed in Section 1.6 hereof.

      (e) Except as provided herein, the provisions of this Article Fourteen
cover all agreements between the parties hereto relative to this Senior
Guarantee and none of the parties shall be bound by any representation, warranty
or promise made by any Person relative thereto which is not embodied herein; and
it is specifically acknowledged and agreed that this Senior Guarantee has been
delivered by the Partnership free of any conditions whatsoever and that no
representations, warranties or promises have been made to the Partnership
affecting its liabilities hereunder, and that the Trustee shall not be bound by
any representations, warranties or promises now or at any time hereafter made by
the Issuer to the Partnership.

or in part, and any refusal of payment by the Trustee, in whole or in part, from

Obligations, whether or not with notice to, or further assent by, or any
reservation of rights against, the Partnership.

      Section 14.4 Right to Demand Full Performance.

      In the event of any demand for payment or performance by the Trustee from
the Partnership hereunder, the Trustee or the Holders shall have the right to
demand its full claim and to receive all dividends or other payments in respect
thereof until the Indenture Obligations have been paid in full, and the
Partnership shall continue to be liable hereunder for any balance which may be
owing to the Trustee or the Holders by the Issuer under this Indenture and the
Senior Notes. The retention by the Trustee or the Holders of any Senior Note,
prior to the realization by the Trustee or the Holders of its rights to such
Senior Note upon foreclosure thereon, shall not, as between the Trustee and the
Partnership, be considered as a purchase of such Senior Note, or as payment,
satisfaction or reduction of the Indenture Obligations due to the Trustee or the
Holders by the Issuer or any part thereof.

      Section 14.5 Waivers.

      (a) The Partnership hereby expressly waives (to the extent permitted by
law) notice of the acceptance of this Senior Guarantee and notice of the
existence, renewal, extension or the non-performance, non-payment, or
non-observance on the part of the Issuer of any of the terms, covenants,
conditions and provisions of this Indenture or the Senior Notes or any other
notice whatsoever to or upon the Issuer or the Partnership with respect to the
Indenture Obligations. The Partnership hereby acknowledges communication to it
of the terms of this Indenture and the Senior Notes and all of the provisions
therein contained and consents to and approves the same. The Partnership hereby
expressly waives (to the extent permitted by law) diligence, presentment,
protest and demand for payment.

      (b) Without prejudice to any of the rights or recourses which the Trustee
or the Holders may have against the Issuer, the Partnership hereby expressly
waives (to the extent permitted by law) any right to require the Trustee or the
Holders to:

            (i) initiate or exhaust any rights, remedies or recourse against the
Issuer, the Partnership or any other Person;

            (ii) value, realize upon, or dispose of any Senior Note of the
Issuer or any other Person held by the Trustee or the Holders; or

            (iii) initiate or exhaust any other remedy which the Trustee or the
Holders may have in law or equity;


                                     -102-
<PAGE>

before requiring or becoming entitled to demand payment from the Partnership
under this Guarantee.

      Section 14.6 The Partnership Remains Obligated in Event the Issuer Is No
Longer Obligated to Discharge Indenture Obligations.

      It is the express intention of the Trustee and the Partnership that if for
any reason the Issuer has no legal existence, is or becomes under no legal
obligation to discharge the Indenture Obligations owing to the Trustee or the
Holders by the Issuer or if any of the Indenture Obligations owing by the Issuer
to the Trustee or the Holders becomes irrevocable from the Issuer by operation
of law or for any reason whatsoever, this Senior Guarantee and the covenants,
agreements and obligations of the Partnership contained in this Article Fourteen
shall nevertheless be binding upon the Partnership, as principal debtor, until
such time as all such Indenture Obligations have been paid in full to the
Trustee and all Indenture Obligations owing to the Trustee or the Holders by the
Issuer have been discharged, or such earlier time as Section 4.2 shall apply to
the Senior Notes and the Partnership shall be responsible for the payment
thereof to the Trustee or the Holders upon demand.

      Section 14.7 Waiver of Rights.

      The Partnership agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that it hereby
waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnity
or subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of Title Eleven of the
United States Code, under common law or otherwise) or any similar rights or
"claims" (as such term is defined under Title Eleven of the United States Code),
against the Issuer or any Subsidiary arising from the existence of, or
performance by, the Partnership under this Senior Guarantee.

      Section 14.8 Senior Guarantee Is in Addition to Other Security.

      This Senior Guarantee shall be in addition to and not in substitution for
any other guarantees or other security which the Trustee may now or hereafter
hold in respect of the Indenture Obligations owing to the Trustee or the Holders
by the Issuer and (except as may be required by law) the Trustee shall be under
no obligation to marshal in favor of the Partnership any other guarantees or
other security or any moneys or other assets which the Trustee may be entitled
to receive or upon which the Trustee or the Holders may have a claim.

      Section 14.9 Release of Security Interests.

      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise
provided in this Indenture, the Partnership hereby consents and agrees, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that the rights of the Trustee
hereunder, and the liability of the Partnership hereunder, shall not be affected
by any and all releases for any purpose of any Collateral, if any,


                                     -103-
<PAGE>

from the Liens and security interests created by the Senior Partnership Upstream
Note Mortgage and that this Senior Guarantee shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the
Indenture Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Trustee
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.

      Section 14.10 No Bar to Further Actions.

      Except as provided by law, no action or proceeding brought or instituted
under Article Fourteen and this Senior Guarantee and no recovery or judgment in
pursuance thereof shall be a bar or defense (other than a defense of payment) to
any further action or proceeding which may be brought under Article Fourteen and
this Senior Guarantee by reason of any further default or defaults under Article
Fourteen and this Senior Guarantee or in the payment of any of the Indenture
Obligations owing by the Issuer.

      Section 14.11 Failure to Exercise Rights Shall Not Operate As a Waiver; No
Suspension of Remedies.

      (a) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the
Trustee or the Holders, any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Article
Fourteen and this Senior Guarantee shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor any
single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any
other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other rights, powers,
privileges or remedies. The rights and remedies herein provided for are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided in law or
equity.

      (b) Nothing contained in this Article Fourteen shall limit the right of
the Trustee or the Holders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the
Senior Notes pursuant to Article Five or to pursue any rights or remedies
hereunder or under applicable law.

      Section 14.12 Successors and Assigns.

      All terms, agreements and conditions of this Article Fourteen shall extend
to and be binding upon the Partnership and its successors and permitted assigns
and shall enure to the benefit of and may be enforced by the Trustee and its
successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Partnership may not assign
any of its rights or obligations hereunder other than in accordance with Article
Eight.

      Section 14.13 Release of Senior Guarantee.

      Concurrently with the payment in full of all of the Indenture Obligations,
the Partnership shall be released from and relieved of its obligations under
this Article Fourteen. Upon the delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an
Officers' Certificate and, if requested by the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the transaction giving rise to the release of this Senior


                                     -104-
<PAGE>

Guarantee was made by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture and the Senior Notes, the Trustee shall execute any documents
reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Partnership from its
obligations under this Senior Guarantee and the TCHI Note Mortgage Documents if
any of the Indenture Obligations are revived and reinstated after the
termination of this Senior Guarantee, then all of the obligations of the
Partnership under this Senior Guarantee shall be revived and reinstated as if
this Senior Guarantee had not been terminated until such time as the Indenture
Obligations are paid in full, and the Partnership shall enter into an amendment
to this Senior Guarantee, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, evidencing
such revival and reinstatement.

      This Senior Guarantee shall terminate upon a merger or consolidation of
the Partnership with the Issuer, in accordance with Article Eight.

      Section 14.14 Execution of Senior Guarantee.

      To evidence the Senior Guarantee, the Partnership hereby agrees to execute
a guarantee substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.5, to be endorsed
on each Senior Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this
Indenture shall be executed on behalf of the Partnership by one of its general
partners or its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of
these officers on the Senior Notes may be manual or facsimile.

      If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates a Senior Note on which this Senior
Guarantee is endorsed, such Senior Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
