Section 1.3. Form and Contents of Documents Delivered to Mortgagee.

            Whenever several matters are required to be certified by, or covered
by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such
matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or
that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person
may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other such Persons as to other such matters in one or several documents.

            Any certificate or opinion of a general partner of Mortgagor may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such general partner knows that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which
his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be
based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, a general partner of Mortgagor stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of
Mortgagor, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. If appropriate to
the matter being opined upon and to the extent not prohibited by the Trust
Indenture Act, conclusions stated in any Opinion of Counsel may be subject to
rights of creditors and the availability of equitable remedies.

            Whenever any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Mortgage, they may, but need not, be consolidated to form
one instrument.

            Whenever in this Mortgage, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to Mortgagee, it is provided that Mortgagor shall deliver
any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence
of Mortgagor's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth
and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the
effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts
and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent
to the right of Mortgagor to have such application granted or to the sufficiency
of such certificate or report.

            Every application, certificate, report, affidavit, opinion, consent,
statement or other instrument required to be delivered to Mortgagee under this
Senior Note Mortgage shall be in writing and shall be prepared and delivered
without cost or expense to Mortgagee.

Section 1.4. Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

            Upon any application or request by Mortgagor to Mortgagee to take
any action under any provision of this Senior Note Mortgage, Mortgagor shall
furnish to Mortgagee a Mortgagor's Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Senior Note Mortgage relating to the
proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have


                                      -20-
<PAGE>

been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request
as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any
provision of this Senior Note Mortgage relating to such particular application
or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. Every
certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Senior Note Mortgage shall include:

            (a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or
opinion has read such condition or covenant and the definitions herein relating
thereto;

            (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination
or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
certificate or opinion are based;

            (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he has
made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express
an informed opinion as to whether or not such condition or covenant has been
complied with; and

            (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such
individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

Section 1.5. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

            The Article and Section headings herein and in the Table of Contents
are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 1.6. Successors and Assigns & Amendments.

            (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 1.10 and 4.2 hereof and
Sections 3.11 and 8.2 of the Senior Note Indenture, and without limiting the
generality of Section 1.12 hereof, this Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and of the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto to the same effect as if each such successor or
assign were in each case named as a party to this Mortgage.

            (b) This Senior Note Mortgage may not be modified, amended,
discharged, released nor any of its provisions waived except by agreement in
writing executed by Mortgagor and Mortgagee and in accordance with the
provisions of this Mortgage and the Senior Note Indenture.

Section 1.7. Separability Clause.

            In case any provision in this Mortgage or the Senior Partnership
Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

      shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to

      bad faith on its part, rely upon a Mortgagor's Certificate;

                  (4) Mortgagee may consult with counsel and any written advice
      of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete

      statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
      consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon,
      security or other paper or document but Mortgagee, in its discretion, may
      make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as
      it may see fit, and, if Mortgagee shall determine to make such further
      inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled (subject to the express
      limitations with respect thereto contained in this Senior Note Mortgage)
      to examine the books, records and premises of Mortgagor, personally or by
      agent or attorney;

Section 1.14. Discharge of Lien.

            If (a) Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall
otherwise be paid, to Mortgagee all amounts required to be paid by Mortgagor
pursuant to this Mortgage and the Senior Partnership Note and the conditions
precedent for the Senior Note Indenture to cease, determine and become null and
void (except for any surviving rights of transfer or exchange of the Senior
Notes provided in Section 13.1 of the Senior Note Indenture and for the
obligation to pay the Trustee's fees and expenses provided in Section 6.6 of the
Senior Note Indenture) in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Senior Note
Indenture shall have occurred, or (b) there shall have occurred a "defeasance"
(as defined in Section 4.2 of the Senior Note Indenture) of the Senior Notes, or
(c) there shall have occurred a "covenant defeasance" (as defined in Section 4.3
of the Trust Indenture), then in any such case Mortgagee shall promptly cancel
and discharge this Mortgage, and any financing statements filed in connection
herewith and execute and deliver to Mortgagor all such instruments as may be
necessary, required or appropriate to evidence such discharge and satisfaction
of said lien or liens.

Section 1.15. General Application.

            (a) The remedies of Mortgagee upon any default by Mortgagor in the
fulfillment of any of its obligations hereunder shall be limited in each
instance by the provisions of Section 1.10, whether or not the provisions
providing for such remedies explicitly refer to such Section.

            (b) The assertion of any rights upon any Default shall be subject
in each instance to, if required, the giving of any notice and the expiration of
any grace period provided for in Section 3.1 as a condition to such Default
becoming an Event of Default, unless the Trust Indenture Act requires otherwise,
in which case the Trust Indenture Act shall control.

            (c) For the purposes of this Senior Note Mortgage, it is
understood that an event which does not materially diminish the value of
Mortgagee's interest in the Trust Estate shall not be deemed an "impairment of
security," as that phrase is used in this Mortgage.

Section 1.16. Senior Note Mortgage Deemed to be Security Agreement.

            To the extent that the grant of a security interest in any portion
of the Trust Estate is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code, this Senior Note

Commercial Code for the purpose of creating hereby a security interest in all of
Mortgagor's right, tide and interest in and to said property, securing the
obligations secured hereby, for the benefit of Mortgagee.

<PAGE>

Mortgage, that Mortgagor shall deliver any notice or document, or is required to
make any payment, the delivery of such notice or document or the making of such
payment shall constitute the delivery of such notice or document or the making
of such payment in satisfaction of the terms, conditions and provisions of this
Senior Note Mortgage, and the Senior Guarantee Mortgage, provided that such
notice, document or payment states, or is accompanied by a letter stating, that
such notice, document or payment is being delivered in satisfaction of the
terms, conditions and provisions of both this Mortgage and the Senior Guarantee
Mortgage.

                                   ARTICLE TWO

                             RELEASE; SUBORDINATION

Section 2.1. Possession by Mortgagor.

            So long as there shall have been no acceleration of maturity of the
Senior Partnership Note under Section 3.2, Mortgagor shall be suffered and
permitted, with power freely and without let or hindrance on the part of
Mortgagee, subject to the provisions of this Mortgage and the Senior Note
Indenture, to possess, use, manage, operate and enjoy the Trust Estate and every
part thereof and to collect, receive, use, invest and dispose of the rents,
issues, tolls, profits, revenues and other income from the Trust Estate or any
part thereof, to use, consume and dispose of any consumables, goods, wares and
merchandise in the ordinary course of business of operating the Casino Hotel and
to adjust and settle all matters relating to choses in action, leases and
contracts.

Section 2.2. Obsolete Property.

            Mortgagor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time,
unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without any
release from or consent by Mortgagee:

            (a) to sell or dispose of, free from the lien of this Mortgage,
any Tangible Personal Property which, in its reasonable opinion, may have become
obsolete or unfit for use or which is no longer necessary in the conduct of its
businesses or the operation of the Trust Estate, and no purchaser of any such
property shall be bound to inquire into any question affecting Mortgagor's right
to sell or otherwise dispose of the same free from the lien of this Mortgage;

            (b) to alter, repair, replace, change the location or position of
and add to any Tangible Personal Property; provided, however, that no change
shall be made in the location of any such property subject to the lien of this
Mortgage which would in any respect impair the security of this Mortgage upon
such property; or

            (c) to renew, extend, surrender, terminate, modify or amend any
leases of Tangible


                                      -26-
<PAGE>

Personal Property, when, in Mortgagor's reasonable opinion, it is prudent to do
so.

            Mortgagor shall retain any net cash proceeds received from the sale
or disposition of any Tangible Personal Property under Subsection (a) of this
Section 2.2, in the business of operating the Casino Hotel.

            Mortgagee shall be under no responsibility or duty with respect to
the exercise of the rights of Mortgagor under this Section 2.2 or the
application of the proceeds of any sale or disposition of any Tangible Personal
Property.

            Mortgagee shall, from time to time, promptly execute any written
instrument in form satisfactory to Mortgagee to confirm the propriety of any
action taken by Mortgagor under this Section 2.2, upon receipt by Mortgagee of a
Mortgagor Request requesting the same, together with a Mortgagor's Certificate
stating that the action so to be confirmed was duly taken in conformity with
this Section 2.2, and that the execution of such written instrument is
appropriate to confirm the propriety of such action under this Section 2.2;
provided, that Mortgagee shall have no liability thereunder and all costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) shall be paid by Mortgagor.

Section 2.3. F,F&E Financing Agreement.

            Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Mortgage or the
Senior Note Venture to the contrary, if Mortgagor acquires Tangible Personal
Property and/or other items constituting operating assets subject to any F,F&E
Financing Agreement, or becomes the lessee under a lease for any of the same and
if the document evidencing such F,F&E Financing Agreement prohibits subordinate
liens or the provisions of any such lease prohibits any assignment thereof by
the lessee, and if any such prohibition is customary with respect to similar
transactions of the lender or lessor (as evidenced by a Mortgagor's Certificate
delivered to Mortgagee, together with such other evidence as Mortgagee may
reasonably request), as the case may be, then the property so purchased or the
lessee's interest in the lease, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be
Excepted Property. If any such F,F&E Financing Agreement permits subordinate
liens, then Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to Mortgagor, at Mortgagor's
expense, such documents as the holder of such F,F&E Financing Agreement may
reasonably request to evidence the subordination of the lien of this Mortgage
and the Mortgage Documents to the lien of such F,F&E Financing Agreement;
provided, however, that Mortgagee shall have no obligation to execute and
deliver such documents, and the lien of this Mortgage shall not be subordinate
to any such F,F&E Financing Agreement, unless (a) such F,F&E Financing Agreement
shall contain a provision binding upon the holder of such F,F&E Financing
Agreement that (i) if the holder of such F,F&E Financing Agreement shall give to
Mortgagor any notice of default thereunder, such holder shall at the same time
and in the same manner serve a copy of such notice on Mortgagee at the address
designated herein (or such other address as Mortgagee may designate by notice
given to the holder of such F,F&E Financing Agreement in the manner provided for
notices hereunder), and that no such notice to


                                      -27-
<PAGE>

Mortgagor shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until a copy
thereof has been so provided to Mortgagee, and (ii) promptly following the last
date upon which Mortgagor may cure such default, if Mortgagor shall fail to cure
such default, the holder of such F,F&E Financing Agreement shall give notice to
Mortgagee stating the manner in which Mortgagor shall have failed to cure its
said default, in which event Mortgagee shall be permitted to cure the default
and, with respect thereto, Mortgagee shall have the same amount of time, after
such notice, within which to cure the said default, as is provided for under the
provisions of such F,F&E Financing Agreement to be given to Mortgagor therefor
after notice or (b) Mortgagor delivers to Mortgagee a Mortgagor's Certificate
certifying that (i) the provision described in clause (a) is not customarily
included by the lender or lessor in its F,F&E Financing Agreements in similar
transactions and (ii) although Mortgagor has used reasonable efforts to have
included in such F,F&E Financing Agreement such a provision, Mortgagor has been
unsuccessful in obtaining such a provision.

                                    REMEDIES

Section 3.1. Events of Default.

            "Event of Default," whenever used herein, means any one of the
following events (including any applicable notice requirement and any period of
grace, as specified in this Section 3.1) (whatever the reason for such event and
whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law
or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

            (a) default in the payment of any interest on the Senior Notes or
the Senior Partnership Note when such interest becomes due and payable and
continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

            (b) default in the payment of all or any portion of the principal of
(or premium, if any, on) the Senior Notes or the Senior Partnership Note when
the same becomes due and payable at their Maturity; or

            (c) default in the payment of any other sum due under the Senior
Partnership Note or this Senior Note Mortgage, and the continuance of such
default for a period of 30 days after there has been given to Mortgagor a notice
specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

            (d) default in the payment or performance of any obligation under
the Senior Guarantee at the time such payment or performance is required under
Article Fourteen of the Senior Note Indenture.

            (e) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of
Mortgagor in this Senior Note Mortgage (other than a covenant, a default in the
performance or breach of which is elsewhere in this Section 3.1 specifically
dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 30 days
after there has been given to Mortgagor a notice specifying such default or
breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice
of Default" hereunder, unless (i) the default or breach is of such a nature that
is curable but not susceptible of being cured with due diligence within such
30-day period (for reasons other than the lack of funds), (ii) Mortgagor
delivers a Mortgagor's Certificate to Mortgagee within such 30-day period
stating (A) the applicability of the provisions of clause (i) to such default or
breach, (B) Mortgagor's intention to remedy such default or breach with
reasonable diligence and (C) the steps which Mortgagor has undertaken or intends
to undertake to remedy such default or breach and (iii) Mortgagor delivers to
Mortgagee additional Mortgagor's Certificates every 30 days thereafter updating
the information contained in the certificate described in clause (ii), in which
case such 30-day period shall be extended for such further period of time (but
in no event more than 60 days after the last day of such 30-day period) as may
reasonably be required to cure the same, provided that Mortgagor is then
proceeding and thereafter continues to proceed to cure the same with reasonable
diligence; or

            (f) an "Event of Default," as defined in Section 5.1 of the Senior
Note Indenture, shall occur and be continuing; or

            (g) default by Mortgagor under any terms of any Facility Lease which
shall not be fully cured or waived prior to the expiration of any grace period
(as such grace period may be extended) contained in such Facility Lease; or

            (h) default in the performance, or breach, of any of the provisions
of Article Four hereof; or

            (i) if any representation or warranty of Mortgagor set forth in this
Senior Note Mortgage or in any notice, certificate, demand or request delivered
to Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage shall prove to be incorrect in any
material respect as of the time when made; or

            (j) an "Event of Default," as defined in Section 3.1 of the Senior
Guarantee Mortgage, the TCHI Note Guarantee Mortgage, the Senior Partnership
Upstream Note Mortgage or the Mortgage Documents shall occur and be continuing.

            An Event of Default shall not be deemed to exist by reason of any
event which Mortgagor is contesting in compliance with the provisions of Section
5.8.

Section 3.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescision and Annulment.

            If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 5.1(g) or (h) of the Senior Note Indenture) occurs and is continuing,
then, and in every such case,


                                      -29-
<PAGE>

Mortgagee may declare the Outstanding Amount of the Senior Partnership Note to
be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to Mortgagor and upon any
such declaration such principal shall become immediately due and payable. If an
Event of Default specified in such Section 5.1(g) or (h) occurs, the Outstanding
Amount of the Senior Partnership Note shall ipso facto become due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Mortgagee.

            If at any time after such declaration of acceleration has been made,
but before any judgment or decree for payment of money due on the Senior
Partnership Note has been obtained by the Mortgagee, such declaration of
acceleration and its consequences has been duly rescinded and annulled in
accordance with Section 5.2 of the Senior Note Indenture, then the declaration
of acceleration pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall automatically be rescinded
and annulled.

            No such rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent default
or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 3.3. Application of Moneys Received by Mortgagee.

            Any moneys received by Mortgagee pursuant to the provisions of this
Article Three (including moneys received by the Trustee after any action or act
by Mortgagee under Section 3.10) shall be applied by Mortgagee in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.6 of the Senior Note Indenture.

Section 3.4. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

            If Mortgagee has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Senior Note Mortgage and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to Mortgagee, then
and in every such case Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, be restored to their respective former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of Mortgagee shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 3.5. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

            No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, in every right and remedy
shall, to the extent 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 hen
under, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of
any other appropriate right or remedy.


                                      -30-
<PAGE>

Section 3.6. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

            No delay or omission of Mortgagee to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article Three or by applicable law to
Mortgagee may be exercised, from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by Mortgagee.

Section 3.7. Undertaking for Costs.

            If any action or proceeding shall be commenced (including, without
limitation, an action to foreclose this Mortgage or to collect the indebtedness
secured hereby) to which action or proceeding Mortgagee is made or becomes a
party, or in which it becomes necessary in the opinion of Mortgagee to defend or
uphold the lien of this Senior Note Mortgage, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee
all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees,
disbursements and court costs incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith,
together with interest at the rate then payable on the Senior Partnership Note,
from the date of payment less the net amount received by Mortgagee or the
Trustee, as their interests may appear under any title insurance policy, and,
until paid, all such expenses, together with interest as aforesaid, shall be
secured by the lien of this Mortgage.

Section 3.8. Waiver of Appraisement and Other Laws.

            To the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, Mortgagor will not
at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in
force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Mortgage or the
absolute sale of the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, or the possession
thereof by any purchaser at any sale under this Article Three; and Mortgagor,
for itself and all who may claim under Mortgagor, so far as Mortgagor or they
now or hereafter may lawfully do so, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under Mortgagor, waives, to the
extent that Mortgagor may lawfully do so, all right to have the property in the
Trust Estate marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any court
having jurisdiction to foreclose this Mortgage may order the sale of the Trust
Estate as an entirety.

            If any law in this Section 3.8 referred to and now in force, of
which Mortgagor or its successor or successors might take advantage despite this
Section 3.8, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall
not thereafter be deemed to constitute any part of the contract herein contained
or to preclude the application of this Section 3.8.

Section 3.9. Entry.

            Mortgagor agrees that upon the occurrence, and during the
continuance, of an Event of


                                      -31-
<PAGE>

Default, Mortgagor, upon demand of Mortgagee, shall forthwith surrender to
Mortgagee the actual possession of, and it shall be lawful for Mortgagee by such
officers or agents as it may appoint to enter and take possession of, the Trust
Estate (and the books and papers of Mortgagor), and to hold, operate and manage
the Trust Estate (including the making of all needful repairs, and such
alterations, additions and improvements as Mortgagee shall deem wise) and to
receive the rents, issues, tolls, profits, revenues and other income thereof,
and, after deducting the costs and expenses of entering, taking possession,
holding, operating and managing the Trust Estate, as well as payments for taxes,
insurance and other proper charges upon the Trust Estate and reasonable
compensation to itself, its agents and counsel, to apply the same as provided in
Section 3.3; provided, however, that Mortgagee's rights under this Section 3.9
shall be subject to the provisions of the New Jersey Casino Control Act and
Section 3.14. Whenever all that is then due upon the Senior Partnership Note and
under any of the terms of this Mortgage shall have been paid and all defaults
hereunder shall have been cured, Mortgagee shall surrender possession to
Mortgagor.

Section 3.10. Power of Sale; Suits for Enforcement.

            If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee,
with or without entry, in its discretion, may:

            (a) sell, subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law,
the Trust Estate as an entirety, or in such parcels, as Mortgagee may determine,
to the highest bidder at public auction at such place and at such time (which
sale may be adjourned by Mortgagee from time to time in its discretion by
announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, without further notice)
and upon such terms as Mortgagee may fix and briefly specify in a notice of sale
to be published as required by law; or

            (b) proceed to protect and enforce its rights under this Mortgage
by sale pursuant to judicial proceedings or by a suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained in this Mortgage or in aid of the execution of
any power granted in this Mortgage or for the foreclosure of this Mortgage or
for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as Mortgagee
shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of Mortgagee;
the failure to join tenants shall not be asserted as a defense to any
foreclosure or proceeding to enforce the rights of Mortgagee.

Section 3.11. Incidents of Sale.

            Upon any sale of any of the Trust Estate, whether made under the
power of sale hereby given or pursuant to judicial proceedings, to the extent
permitted by law:

            (a) the principal of and accrued interest on the Senior
Partnership Note, if not previously due, shall at once become and be immediately
due and payable;


                                      -32-
<PAGE>

            (b) subject to the provisions of Section 3.14 and the receipt of
any required prior approvals of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission,
Mortgagee may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon
compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such
property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money
therefor, deliver the Senior Partnership Note or claims for interest thereon in
lieu of cash to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of
such sale, be payable thereon, and the Senior Partnership Note, in case the
amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be
returned to Mortgagee after being appropriately stamped to show partial payment;

            (c) Mortgagee may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers
a good and sufficient deed, bill of sale and instrument of assignment and
transfer of the property sold;

            (d) Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorney of Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary deeds, bills
of sale and instruments of assignment and transfer of the property thus sold;
and for that purpose it may execute all necessary deeds, bills of sale and
instruments of assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons,
firms or corporations with like power, Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming
all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do
by virtue hereof; but if so requested by Mortgagee or by any purchaser,
Mortgagor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and
delivering to Mortgagee or to such purchaser or purchasers all proper deeds,
bills of sale, instruments of assignment and transfer and releases as may be
designated in any such request;

            (e) all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever,
either at law or in equity or otherwise, of Mortgagor of, in and to the property
so sold shall be divested and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and
in equity against Mortgagor, its successors and assigns, and against any and all
persons claiming or who may claim the property sold or any part thereof from,
through or under Mortgagor, its successors and assigns; and

            (f) the receipt of Mortgagee or of the officer making such sale
shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale for
his or their purchase money and such purchaser or purchasers and his or their
assigns or personal representatives shall not, after paying such purchase money
and receiving such receipt, be obliged to see to the application of such
purchase money, or be in anyway answerable for any loss, misapplication or
non-application thereof.

Section 3.12. Receiver.

            Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and commencement of
judicial proceedings by Mortgagee to enforce any right under this Mortgage,
Mortgagee shall be entitled, as against Mortgagor, without notice or demand and
without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Senior Partnership Note
or the solvency of Mortgagor, to the appointment of a receiver of


                                      -33-
<PAGE>

the Trust Estate, and of the rents, issues, profits, revenues and other income
thereof; provided, however, that Mortgagee's rights under this Section 3.12
shall be subject to the provisions of the New Jersey Casino Control Act and
Section 3.14 hereof.

Section 3.13. Suits to Protect the Trust Estate.

            Mortgagor hereby acknowledges the right of Mortgagee, in the name
and on behalf of Mortgagor, (a) to appear in and defend any action or proceeding
brought with respect to the Trust Estate or any part thereof and (b) upon 5
days' prior notice to Mortgagor (or such shorter period or without notice if
deemed necessary and appropriate by Mortgagee), to institute and to maintain
such proceedings as Mortgagee may deem necessary and appropriate, but in the
case of (a) and (b) only to prevent any impairment of security or any impairment
of the Trust Estate by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this
Mortgage and to protect Mortgagee's interests in the Trust Estate and in the
rents, issues, profits, revenues and other income arising therefrom, including
the right to institute and maintain proceedings to restrain the enforcement of
or compliance with any governmental enactment, rule or order that may be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with
such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be
materially prejudicial to the interests of Mortgagee.

Section 3.14. Management of the Premises.

            Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this
Article Three, following an Event of Default and the taking of possession of the
Trust Estate or any part thereof by Mortgagee and/or the appointment of a
receiver of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, Mortgagee or any such receiver
shall be authorized, in addition to the rights and powers of Mortgagee and such
receiver set forth elsewhere in this Mortgage, to take any action permitted
under Section 5.17 of the Senior Note Indenture.

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                       CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE,
                                TRANSFER OR LEASE

Section 4.1. Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance or Transfer only on Certain
             Terms.

            Mortgagor shall comply with all provisions applicable to Mortgagor
in Article Eight of the Senior Note Indenture.

Section 4.2. Successor Entity Substituted.

            Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment,
conveyance, transfer or


                                      -34-
<PAGE>

disposition of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in accordance with
Section 8.1 of the Senior Note Indenture (other than a lease), the successor
Person formed by such consolidation or into which Mortgagor is merged or the
successor Person to which such sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer or
disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of Mortgagor under this Mortgage with the same effect as
if such successor had been named as Mortgagor herein; and thereafter, except in
the case of a lease, the Person named as "Mortgagor" in the first paragraph of
this instrument or any successor Person which shall theretofore have become such
in the manner prescribed in this Article shall be discharged from all
obligations and covenants under this Mortgage.

                                 ARTICLE FIVE V.

                  COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF MORTGAGOR

Section 5.1. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

            Mortgagor shall duly and punctually pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on the Senior Partnership Note in accordance with
the terms of the Senior Partnership Note and this Mortgage.

Section 5.2. F,F&E Financing Agreements.

            Mortgagor shall comply with all of the terms and conditions set
forth in any F,F&E Financing Agreements before the expiration of any applicable
notice and cure periods contained in the F,F&E Financing Agreements.

Section 5.3. Limitations on Liens and Transfers.

            (a) Mortgagor shall not create, incur, suffer or permit to be
created or incurred or to exist any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance on or
pledge of any of the Trust Estate, other than (i) Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) a
notice of intention filed by a mechanic, materialman or laborer under the New
Jersey mechanic's lien law, and (iii) a building contract filed by a contractor
or subcontractor under the New Jersey mechanic's lien law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence but notwithstanding the provisions of the
foregoing sentence, Mortgagor shall not be deemed to have breached the
provisions of the foregoing sentence by virtue of the existence of a lien for
Impositions or mechanics' liens so long as Mortgagor is in good faith contesting
the validity of the same in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.8.

            (b) The lien of this Senior Note Mortgage on the date hereof shall
be superior, and not subordinate to the lien of any Permitted Encumbrances
(except for items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 11 contained in the definition of Permitted
Encumbrances and any other Working Capital Facility


                                      -35-
<PAGE>

Mortgage) to the extent that each thereof encumbers Mortgagor's interest in the
Trust Estate or any part thereof. Mortgagee shall from time to time after
receipt of a request of Mortgagee or the Trustee obtain instruments in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee or the Trustee, as the case may
be, confirming the senior lien priority of this Senior Note Mortgage over the
lien of any such Permitted Encumbrances.

            (c) Except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Mortgage
and the Senior Note Indenture (including, without limitation, Article Eight of
the Senior Note Indenture), Mortgagor shall not sell, assign, lease or otherwise
transfer all or any portion of the Trust Estate or any interest therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor shall have the right, at any time and
from time to time, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, without any release from or consent by Mortgagee, to grant interests
in the Owned Land in the nature of rights-of-way or easements, or other rights
or privileges in the nature of easements; provided, (i) that none of the same
will reduce or impair, in any material respect, (A) the value or usefulness of
the Trust Estate or any part thereof or (B) the normal operation of the Casino
Hotel in accordance with all Legal Requirements and all Permits, (ii) Mortgagor
has delivered to Mortgagee a Mortgagor's Certificate, dated not earlier than 10
days prior to the date of each such grant, certifying that (A) no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) the conditions set forth in this
Section 5.3(c) for such grant have been fulfilled and (iii) Mortgagor has
delivered to Mortgagee a duplicate original of the instrument, if any, pursuant
to which such grant is to be made, and such other instruments, certificates and
opinions as Mortgagee may reasonably request. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 5.3(c) shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be
required to evidence the consent of Mortgagee to the grant or other conveyance
of such rights-of-way or easements. Mortgagee shall, however, from time to time,
after receipt of a Mortgagor's Request therefor (accompanied by a Mortgagor's
Certificate stating that said conditions have been satisfied) execute
instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee
confirming the permissibility of such grant or other conveyance.

Section 5.4. Environmental.

            Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this
Mortgage, Mortgagor covenants, represents and warrants to Mortgagee as follows:

            (a) Mortgagor shall comply with any and all federal, state and local
environmental legislation, rules, and regulations in effect as of the date of
this Mortgage and subsequent thereto, including, without limitation, the Spill
Compensation and Control Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11 et seq.) (the "Spill Act");
the Industrial Site Recovery Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq.("IRSA"); the Solid
Waste Management Act (N.J.S.A. 13:E-1 et seq.) the Resource, Conservation and
Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq.) ("RCRA"); the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601
et seq.) ("CERCLA") and such other environmental legislation, rules and
regulations, as are in or may come into effect and apply to (i) Mortgagor and/or
Mortgagee with respect to the


                                      -36-
<PAGE>

Premises or (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby, and as to any occupants
or users of the collateral, whether as lessees, tenants, licensees or otherwise,
Mortgagor shall use its best efforts to cause same to comply with said
legislation, rules and regulations. Mortgagor agrees to pay all costs required
in connection with compliance with the foregoing legislation, rules and
regulations.

            (b) Mortgagor has not used in the past, nor shall Mortgagor use in
the future, the Premises for the purpose of refining, producing, storing,
handling, transferring, processing or transporting "Hazardous Substances", as
such term is defined in IRSA, the Spill Act, CERCLA or the regulations relating
thereto, except that Mortgagor and its subsidiaries have used, and Mortgagor may
continue in the future to use, substances in the operation and maintenance of
the Premises, including, without limitation, heating oil, gasoline and cleaning
chemicals which could be considered as "Hazardous Substances" under the
preceding definition.

            (c) To the best of Mortgagor's knowledge, after due inquiry and
investigation, none of the real property owned, leased and/or occupied by
Mortgagor and located in the State of New Jersey, including, without limitation,
the Premises, has been or is now being used as a "Major Facility" as such term
is defined in N.J.S.A.58:10-23.llb(l). Mortgagor will not use the Premises in
the future as a "Major Facility".

            (d) To the best of Mortgagor's knowledge, after due inquiry and
investigation, no lien has been attached to any revenues or any real or personal
property owned by Mortgagor or the Premises, as a result of the Chief Executive
of the New Jersey Spill Compensation Fund expending monies from said fund to pay
for "Cleanup Costs", as such term is defined in N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11b(d),
arising from an intentional or unintentional action or omission of Mortgagor or
any previous owner and/or operator of such real property.

            (e) There is no asbestos or asbestos containing material on the
Premises. To the best of Mortgagor's knowledge, there are no underground storage
tanks located at the Premises, other than those tanks previously disclosed to
Mortgagee and which are maintained in accordance with all material Legal
Requirements. Mortgagor has not installed or placed, or permitted to be
installed or placed, any underground storage tanks at or on the Premises, other
than those tanks previously disclosed to Mortgagee and which are maintained in
accordance with all material Legal Requirements. Underground storage tanks shall
have the definition as set forth in N.J.S.A. 58:10A-22(p).

            (f) Mortgagor has not received a summons, citation, directive,
letter, other written communication, or, to the best of its knowledge, any oral
communication, from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and
Energy or from any other person, firm or corporation concerning any intentional
or unintentional action or omission on Mortgagor's part resulting in the
releasing, spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying or dumping of
"Hazardous Substances", as such term is defined in N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11b(k),
into the


                                      -37-
<PAGE>

waters or onto the lands of the State of New Jersey, or into the waters outside
the jurisdiction of the State of New Jersey, in either case resulting in damage
to the lands, waters, fish, shellfish, wildlife, biota, air and other resources
owned, managed. held in trust or otherwise controlled by the State of New
Jersey.

            (g) In connection with any purchase of the Premises or any business
or assets located thereon or any "closing, terminating or transferring
operations" of any "industrial establishment", as that term is defined in ISRA,
occurring on or after December 31, 1983, Mortgagor required that the owner and
or operator of the industrial establishment comply with the provisions of ECRA
and the owner and or operator did comply therewith.

            (h) Upon the occurrence of an Event (as hereinafter defined),
Mortgagee shall have the right to have its consultants perform a comprehensive
environmental audit of the Premises. Such audit shall be conducted by an
environmental consultant chosen by Mortgagee and may include a visual survey, a
record review, an area reconnaissance assessing the presence of hazardous or
toxic waste or substances, PCBs or storage tanks at the Premises, an asbestos
survey of the Premises, which may include random sampling of the improvements
and air quality testing, and such further site assessments as Mortgagee may
reasonably require due to the results obtained from the foregoing. Mortgagor
grants Mortgagee, its agents, consultants and contractors the right to enter the
Premises for the purposes of performing such studies and the cost of such
studies shall be due and payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee upon demand and shall
be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. Mortgagee shall direct the
environmental consultant to use its best efforts not to hinder Mortgagor's or
any tenant's operations when conducting such audit, sampling or inspections. For
purposes of this paragraph, the term "Event" shall mean (i) the occurrence of
any Event of Default, (ii) the issuance of any summons, citation, directive or
similar written notice from the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection and Energy or from any other local, state or federal entity or from
any other person, firm or corporation concerning any alleged material violation
of any and all federal, state and local environmental legislation, rules and
regulations in effect as of the date of this Mortgage and subsequent thereto or
(iii) the initiation of any legal action, suits or other legal or administrative
proceedings relating to or in connection with any alleged violation of any and
all federal, state and local environmental legislation, rules and regulations in
effect as of the date of this Mortgage and subsequent thereto.

            (i) If a lien shall be filed against the Premises by the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection and Energy, pursuant to and in accordance
with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11f(f), as a result of the Chief
Executive of the New Jersey Spill Compensation Fund having expended monies from
said fund to pay for "Damages", as such term is defined in N.J.S.A.
58:10-23.11g, and/or "Cleanup and Removal-Costs", as such term is defined in
N.J.S.A. 58:10-23(b), arising from an intentional or unintentional action or

failure of Mortgagor to comply therewith shall not affect the validity of any
insurance required to be maintained by Mortgagor hereunder.

Restoration, said certificate shall describe the manner closest approximating
such criteria to which the buildings and improvements could be so restored and
shall be accompanied by a Certificate Of Appraised Value dated not more than 10
days prior to delivery setting forth the Appraised Value immediately prior to

Restoration, (i) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Indebtedness of the
Mortgagor, the Company or TCHI immediately after such Restoration shall exceed
the greater of (A) 80% of the Appraised Value immediately after such Restoration

Value immediately prior to the Casualty multiplied by the Appraised Value
immediately after such Restoration, or (ii) applicable Legal Requirements do not
permit the Restoration of the Casino Hotel for use as a casino and hotel
complex, then, in either of such events, the proceeds of any insurance shall not
be applied to Restoration but shall instead be paid and delivered to Mortgagee
to the extent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Senior Partnership Note and
any other interest or other sums due hereunder or thereunder to be applied to
the satisfaction of this Mortgage to the extent proceeds are available for such
purpose and provided that no additional sums are due to the Trustee or the
Holders under the Senior Notes, the Senior Note Indenture, the Senior Guarantee,
the TCHI Notes, the TCHI Note Indenture, the TCHI Guarantee, the Mortgage Notes

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) If the cost of Restoration is $10,000,000 or more, the
      net insurance proceeds shall be paid by Mortgagee to the Insurance
      Trustee.

                  (iii) Mortgagor shall commence with reasonable promptness
      under the circumstances and thereafter with due diligence proceed to
      perform and complete in a good and workmanlike manner the restoration,
      repair, replacement or rebuilding of the damage or destruction resulting
      from the Casualty (all such restoration, repair, replacement and
      rebuilding following a Casualty or a Taking are referred to as
      "Restoration") in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted
      to the Insurance Trustee, in conformance with all Legal Requirements and
      Superior Instrument Requirements, and in accordance with the further
      provisions of this Subsection (e), regardless of the extent of any such
      Casualty and whether or not net insurance proceeds, if any, shall be
      available or, if available, shall be sufficient, for the purpose of the
      Restoration. All Restoration work shall be performed in accordance with
      the applicable provisions of Section 5.12 and in conformance with all
      Superior Instrument Requirements, Legal Requirements and Insurance
      Requirements and, prior to commencing any Restoration, Mortgagor shall
      obtain all Permits necessary in connection therewith, and shall obtain,
      and keep in full force and effect until the completion of such
      Restoration, such additional insurance as the Insurance Trustee and
      Superior Instrument Requirements may require. The plans and specifications
      for the Restoration shall be accompanied by a Mortgagor's Certificate and
      an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that upon the completion of the
      Restoration pursuant to the plans and specifications, the Premises and all
      buildings and improvements thereon will comply with all Superior
      Instrument Requirements, Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements.

                  (iv) Any insurance proceeds which Mortgagor receives shall be
      held by Mortgagor in trust for the purpose of paying the cost of the
      Restoration, except as otherwise provided herein.

                  (v) Any net insurance proceeds that the Insurance Trustee
      holds pursuant to this Subsection (e), shall be deposited in an
      interest-bearing investment reasonably designated by Mortgagor (to the
      extent Mortgagor is permitted to designate such investment under the
      Superior Instrument Requirements) (and the interest thereon shall be added
      to such proceeds) and shall be paid by the Insurance Trustee to reimburse
      Mortgagor for, or to make payment for, the Restoration, after the
      Insurance Trustee deducts therefrom the amount of any reasonable costs and
      expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations
      under this Section 5.10. The Insurance Trustee shall make such payments
      not more frequently than once every 30 days upon the written request of
      Mortgagor (unless more frequent payments are


                                      -48-
<PAGE>

      required by Superior Instrument Requirements), by paying to Mortgagor or
      the persons named in the certificate described in clause (vi) of this
      Subsection (e) the respective amounts stated in such certificate from time
      to time as the Restoration progresses, provided Mortgagor has complied
      with the requirements of this Subsection (e) and such payment is permitted
      by any applicable Superior Instrument Requirements. Mortgagor's request
      shall be accompanied by (A) the certificate described in clause (vi) of
      this Subsection (e) and (B) a title company or official search, or other
      evidence reasonably acceptable to the Insurance Trustee, showing that
      there have not been filed with respect to the Premises, any vendor's,
      contractor's, mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's statutory or similar
      lien which has not been discharged of record (or bonded against or secured
      by other security) or any other encumbrance irrespective of its priority
      (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

                  (vi) The certificate required by clause (v) of this Subsection
      (e) shall (A) be a Mortgagor's Certificate, countersigned by the Architect
      in charge of the Restoration with respect to the matters described in (1)
      and (5) below, (B) be dated not more than 10 days prior to such request
      and (C) set forth (in addition to any other requirements contained in any
      applicable Superior Instrument Requirements) that:

                        (1) all of the Restoration theretofore performed is in
            substantial compliance with the plans and specifications theretofore
            submitted to the Insurance Trustee and in compliance with all
            Superior Instrument Requirements, Legal Requirements and
            Insurance Requirements;

                        (2) the sum then requested either has been paid by
            Mortgagor or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors,
            materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons who have
            rendered services or furnished or contract to deliver materials for
            the Restoration therein specified, and the names and addresses of
            such persons, a brief description of such services and materials and
            the several amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in
            respect thereof;

                        (3) no part of the amount requested has been or is the
            basis in any previous or then pending request for the withdrawal of
            net insurance proceeds, and that the sum then requested does not
            exceed the value of the services and materials described in the
            certificate;

                        (4) except for the amount, if any, stated pursuant to
            subclause (2) of this clause (vi) in such certificate to be due for
            services or materials, and except for amounts in dispute and/or
            customary retainages, there is no outstanding indebtedness Known to
            the person signing such certificate, after due inquiry, which is
            then due for labor, wages, materials, supplies or services in
            connection with such Restoration; and


                                      -49-
<PAGE>

                        (5) the remaining cost, as estimated by the persons
            signing such certificate, of the Restoration in order to complete
            the same does not exceed the net insurance proceeds remaining in the
            hands of Insurance Trustee after payment of the sum requested in
            such certificate or if such estimated cost does exceed such
            insurance proceeds such certificate shall state the amount of any
            such deficiency. If the certificate states that such deficiency will
            exist, Mortgagor shall deliver the amount of such deficiency in cash
            or cash equivalent to the Insurance Trustee simultaneously with the
            delivery of such certificate, which amount shall be deemed insurance
            proceeds for purposes of this Section 5.10(e).

                  (vii) If net insurance proceeds shall be insufficient to pay
      the entire cost of the Restoration, then, after completion of the
      Restoration, Mortgagor shall pay the deficiency. If all or any part of the
      net insurance proceeds are not used for the Restoration in accordance with
      this Subsection (e) (because such proceeds exceed the amount required to
      complete the Restoration), then upon completion of the Restoration in
      accordance with this Subsection (e), such amount not so used, if held by
      the Insurance Trustee, shall be paid to Mortgagor (if permitted by
      Superior Instrument Requirements).

            (f) Mortgagor shall not take out separate insurance, concurrent in
form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained
pursuant to this Section 5.10, unless the same is permitted by Superior
Instrument Requirements. Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee whenever
any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee
a duplicate original of the policy of such insurance, a copy thereof certified
by the insurer or a certificate thereof. Provided that no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, all net business interruption insurance proceeds
shall be paid to Mortgagor, to be segregated from the other funds of Mortgagor
and held in trust by Mortgagor for the following purposes and in the following
order of priority: (i) for the payment of Impositions and amounts due under the
Facility Leases, (ii) for debt service under the Senior Partnership Note for the
estimated period of Restoration (for purposes of this Subsection 5.10(f),
interest and principal payments due on any payment date under the Senior
Partnership Note will be deemed to accrue in equal daily installments beginning
the day after the immediately preceding payment date and ending on such payment
date), and (iii) for any other expense incurred in connection with the operation
or business of the Casino Hotel.

            (g) Insurance claims by reason of damage or destruction to any
portion of the Trust Estate may be adjusted by Mortgagor, but Mortgagee shall
have the right (but not the obligation) to join Mortgagor in adjusting, and
approving the adjustment of, any such loss except in the event of a loss where
the amount of insurance reasonably anticipated to be received with respect to
such loss is less than $5,000,000, and Mortgagor shall assist Mortgagee in any
such adjustment at the request of Mortgagee. If Mortgagee at its election as
aforesaid joins Mortgagor in any adjustment process, then Mortgagee's approval
of the


                                      -50-
<PAGE>

adjustment shall not be unreasonably withheld.

            (h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee may, at its
option, (A) refrain from paying to Mortgagor or the Insurance Trustee any net
insurance proceeds or (B) instruct the Insurance Trustee to pay to Mortgagee any
insurance proceeds then held by the Insurance Trustee, as the case may be.

Section 5.11. Limitations on Building Demolition, Alterations, Improvements and
              New Construction.

            Mortgagor shall not authorize, permit or make any demolition,
alteration or improvement of any building, structure or other improvements
included in the Trust Estate or any new construction on any part of the Trust
Estate, except in conformity with and subject to the limitations hereinafter in
this Section 5.11 set forth and set forth in the Senior Note Indenture.

            Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Mortgagor shall have the right at all times to make or permit such demolition,
alterations, improvements or new construction, structural or otherwise (herein
sometimes called collectively "Alterations" and each, individually, an
"Alteration"), of the Trust Estate, to be made in all cases subject to each of
the following conditions:

            (a) No Alteration shall be undertaken or carried out except in
conformity with all Superior Instrument Requirements, Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements.

            (b) If the estimated cost of any Alteration, together with other
Alterations that constitute a single construction plan or project (whether or
not accomplished in several stages or procedures), exceeds $5,000,000, the
building or buildings, structures or other improvements as so improved or
altered, upon the completion of the work, shall be of a value not less than the
value of such building or buildings, structures or other improvements
immediately prior to the making of such Alteration.

            (c) Any Alteration which is structural in nature or involves an
estimated cost of more than $5,000,000 shall be conducted under the supervision
of an Architect, and no such Alteration shall be undertaken until 10 days after
there shall have been filed with Mortgagee detailed plans and specifications and
cost estimates therefor, prepared and approved in writing by such Architect and
accompanied by a certificate of such Architect stating that such plans and
specifications conform to all applicable provisions of this Section 5.11.

            (d) No Alteration involving an estimated cost of more than
$5,000,000 shall be undertaken until Mortgagor has furnished to Mortgagee, at
Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, a surety bond or bonds, covering performance,
and labor and material payments with respect


                                      -51-
<PAGE>

to the work to be so performed, naming Mortgagee as obligee, issued by a
responsible surety company, authorized to do business in the State of New
Jersey, in a form generally and customarily used by such surety in an amount
equal to the estimated cost of construction of the work covered by the plans and
specifications therefor, guaranteeing the performance and completion of such
construction, substantially in conformity with the said plans and specifications
and within a reasonable time, subject to delays by fire, strikes, lock-out, acts
of God, inability to obtain labor or materials, governmental restrictions, enemy
action, civil commotion or unavoidable Casualty or other similar causes beyond
the control of Mortgagor, free and clear of all liens, claims and liabilities
for the cost of such Alterations. If such surety bond or bonds shall be
unobtainable Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee security by cash, letter of
credit or other guarantee, affording substantially the same protection as would
such bond or bonds.

            (e) All work done in connection with any Alterations shall be done
promptly and in good and workmanlike manner. The work in connection with any
Alteration shall be prosecuted with reasonable dispatch, delays due to fire,
strikes, lock-outs, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials,
governmental restrictions, enemy action, civil commotion or unavoidable Casualty
or similar causes beyond the control of Mortgagor excepted.

            (f) If the estimated cost of Alterations exceeds $5,000,000,
Mortgagor shall have delivered to Mortgagee (i) prior to the commencement of
such Alterations, copies of all Permits required for the commencement of such
work together with a certificate of the Architect or an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that all Permits required for the commencement of such Alterations
have been obtained; and (ii) within a reasonable period of time after the
completion of the Alterations, copies of all Permits required in connection with
the completion thereof, together with either an Opinion of Counsel or a
certificate of the Architect that all such Permits have been so obtained by
Mortgagor and that Mortgagor has complied with all the requirements of this
Section 5.11.

            (g) No Alterations of any kind shall be made which shall change
the use or reduce the size or quality of any building, structure or other
improvements in any material respect or which shall change the use of the Casino
Hotel from its use as a gaming and hotel facility.

            (h) No Alterations costing in excess of $5,000,000, together with
other Alterations that constitute a single construction plan or project (whether
or not accomplished in several stages or procedures), shall be made if such
Alterations are not expected to be completed at least 120 days prior to the
Stated Maturity of the Senior Partnership Note (except if such Alterations are
required in order to comply with Legal Requirements or Superior Instrument
Requirements).

            (i) Mortgagor shall maintain at all times during the performance
of Alterations, in addition to any insurance required to be maintained under
Section 5.11 hereof, appropriate workers' compensation insurance covering all
persons employed for such Alterations to the


                                      -52-
<PAGE>

extent required by applicable law, and comprehensive general liability insurance
expressly covering the additional hazards due to such Alterations. Each such
policy of insurance shall comply with the provisions of Section 5.10(b), and
Mortgagor shall comply with Subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of
Section 5.10 in connection with all such insurance.

Section 5.12. Leases.

            Mortgagor shall not:

            (a) lease the Trust Estate substantially as an entirety to any
Person (except in accordance with the provisions of Article Eight of the Senior
Note Indenture), nor shall Mortgagor lease either the Casino Hotel or the Casino
or the Hotel or any parking facilities substantially as an entirety to any
Person;

            (b) enter into any Lease, or renew, modify, extend, terminate, or
amend any Lease, except in the ordinary course of business of operating the
Casino Hotel;

            (c) receive or collect, or permit the receipt or collection of, any
rental payments under any Lease more than one month in advance of the respective
periods in respect of which they are to accrue, except that, in connection with
the execution and delivery of any Lease or of any amendment to any Lease, rental
payments thereunder may be collected and received in advance in an amount not in
excess of three months' rent and/or a security deposit may be required
thereunder in an amount not exceeding one year's rent;

            (d) collaterally assign, transfer or hypothecate (other than to
Mortgagee hereunder or to the holder of the Senior Guarantee Mortgage, the
holder of the TCHI Note Guarantee Mortgage or the holder of the Senior
Partnership Upstream Note Mortgage, but in each case only with respect to the
property secured by such mortgage) (i) any rental payment under any Lease
whether then due or to accrue in the future, (ii) the interest of Mortgagor as
landlord under any Lease or (iii) the rents, issues or profits of the Trust
Estate;

            (e) after the date hereof, enter into any Lease, or renew any Lease,
unless such Lease contains terms to the effect as follows:

                  (i) the Lease and the rights of the tenants thereunder shall
      be subject and subordinate to the rights of Mortgagee under this Mortgage,

                  (ii) the Lease may be assigned by the landlord thereunder to
      Mortgagee, and

                  (iii) the rights and remedies of the tenant in respect of any
      obligations of the landlord thereunder shall be nonrecourse as to any
      assets of the landlord other than its equity in the building in which the
      leased premises are located or the proceeds thereof; or


                                      -53-
<PAGE>

            (f) modify any Lease with respect to the matters described in
clauses (i) through (iii) of paragraph (e).

            If Mortgagor enters into a Lease (other than with an Affiliate of
Mortgagor) for a term of not less than 3 years, Mortgagee shall deliver a
non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 7
hereto, following receipt of a certificate of a leasing broker (who is not an
Affiliate of Mortgagor or the broker involved in such transaction) experienced
with respect to leases of commercial space in the Atlantic City area stating
that the rent under the Lease throughout the term thereof is not less than fair
market rent and the other terms of the Lease are fair and reasonable in the
commercial leasing market. Mortgagor shall, upon demand, reimburse Mortgagee for
any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements)
incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the preparation, review and delivery of
such non-disturbance and attornment agreements.

            Promptly after the execution and delivery hereof, and promptly after
each Lease is executed or becomes effective after the date of the execution and
delivery hereof, Mortgagor shall cause the lessee under each such Lease to be
duly notified in writing (unless the substance and effect of such notice shall
be contained in such Lease) of the subjection of the owner's interest, as
lessor, in and to such Lease to the lien of this Mortgage and of the name and
address of Mortgagee. Each such notice shall state that the lease of such lessee
is a Lease as herein defined. If a new Mortgagee is at any time appointed
hereunder or the address of Mortgagee shall at any time be changed, Mortgagor
shall cause each lessee under each lease to be promptly notified in writing of
the name and address of such new Mortgagee or the new address of Mortgagee.
Mortgagor shall use reasonable efforts (but shall not be obligated to incur any
expenditure other than de minimis amounts) to obtain from each lessee under each
Lease to whom any notice is sent pursuant to this paragraph an acknowledgment of
receipt of such notice, and Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee, upon
request, a copy of each such acknowledgment of receipt which it is able to
obtain. Mortgagee shall not be responsible for securing or causing Mortgagor to
secure any such acknowledgment.

Section 5.13. Compliance Certificates.

            Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year of Mortgagor, a Mortgagor's Certificate stating that

            (a) a review of the activities of Mortgagor during such year and of
performance under this Mortgage has been made under the signer's supervision,
and

            (b) to the best of each signer's knowledge, based on such review,
Mortgagor has fulfilled all of Mortgagor's obligations under this Mortgage
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each Such default known to him and the nature and
status thereof.


                                      -54-
<PAGE>

            Promptly after Mortgagor may reasonably be deemed to have knowledge
of a default hereunder, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee a notice specifying
the nature and period of existence thereof and the action Mortgagor is taking
and proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 5.14. To Keep Books; Inspection by Mortgagee.

            Mortgagor will keep proper books of record and account, in which
full and correct entries shall be made of all dealings or transactions of or in
relation to the Senior Partnership Note and the properties, business and affairs
of Mortgagor in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied. Said books shall be maintained in an office located either
in Atlantic City, New Jersey or in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York,
State of New York. Mortgagor shall at any and all times, upon request of
Mortgagee and at the expense of Mortgagor, permit Mortgagee and its
representatives to inspect the Casino Hotel and any other buildings, structures
and improvements now or hereafter located on the Land and the books of account,
records, reports and other papers of Mortgagor, and to make copies and extracts
therefrom, and will afford and procure a reasonable opportunity to make any such
inspection (provided, that any such inspection shall not unreasonably interfere
with the business operations of Mortgagor), and Mortgagor will furnish to
Mortgagee any and all information as Mortgagee may reasonably request, with
respect to the performance by Mortgagor of its covenants in this Mortgage.

Section 5.15. Advances by Mortgagee.

            If Mortgagor shall fail to perform any of the covenants, terms,
provisions or conditions contained in this Mortgage and such failure shall
continue for 10 days following notice thereof given by Mortgagee (or at any
time, without notice, in case of emergency), Mortgagee may (but is not obligated
to), at any time and from time to time, take any action or make advances, to
effect performance of any such covenant, term, provision or condition on behalf
of Mortgagor; and all moneys so used, paid or advanced by Mortgagee and all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith,
together with interest on all of the same at the rate of interest set forth in
the Senior Partnership Note, shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor
to Mortgagee and all such moneys, costs and expenses shall be secured by the
lien of this Mortgage prior to the Senior Partnership Note. No such advance or
payment by Mortgagee shall relieve Mortgagor from any default hereunder or
impair any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

Section 5.16. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

            Mortgagor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law or any
other law which would prohibit or forgive Mortgagor from paying all or any
portion of the obligations secured by this Mortgage, wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, or which may otherwise affect the


                                      -55-
<PAGE>

covenants or the performance of this Mortgage; and Mortgagor (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to Mortgagee, but shall suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.17. Eminent Domain.

            (a) Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee immediately upon obtaining
knowledge of any Taking affecting the Trust Estate or any part thereof. If the
Taking is a Taking of less than the whole or substantially all of the Premises
but (i) is estimated to result in an award of more than $10,000,000 or (ii) the
Taking will interfere with or adversely affect the operation of the Casino Hotel
(other than any portion thereof consisting solely of unimproved, paved or
unpaved surface parking) other than to a de minimis extent, then within 30 days
after such Taking, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee a certificate of an
Architect stating whether, in such Architect's opinion, applicable Legal
Requirements permit the Restoration of any buildings and improvements for the
same uses and to the same size and quality in all material respects as existed
immediately prior to the Taking (and if said certificate states that Legal
Requirements do not permit such Restoration, said certificate shall describe the
manner closest approximating such criteria to which the buildings and
improvements could be so restored and shall be accompanied by a Certificate of
Appraised Value dated not more than 10 days prior to delivery setting forth the
Appraised Value immediately prior to the Taking and the estimated Appraised
Value immediately after the permitted Restoration). If Mortgagor is required to
deliver such Certificate of Appraised value and if based on such Certificate of
Appraised Value immediately after Restoration, (i) the Outstanding Amount of
Indebtedness of the Mortgagor, the Company or TCHI immediately after such
Restoration shall exceed the greater of (A) 80% of the Appraised Value
immediately after such Restoration or (B) the quotient of the Outstanding Amount
of the Indebtedness of the Mortgagor, the Company or TCHI immediately prior to
such Taking divided by the Appraised Value immediately prior to the Taking
multiplied by the Appraised Value immediately after such Restoration, or (ii)
applicable Legal Requirements do not permit the Restoration of the Casino Hotel
for use as a casino and hotel complex, then, in any of such events, the Taking
shall be deemed a Taking of "the whole or substantially all of the Premises."
The Taking shall be deemed a Taking of "less than the whole or substantially all
of the Premises" if Mortgagor is not required to deliver a Certificate Of
Appraised Value or if, at the time of delivery of such Certificate, neither of
the tests set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) is met.

            (b) If at any time there shall occur a Taking of less than the
whole or substantially all of the Premises and the award or awards resulting
therefrom payable to Mortgagor (and not to any lessor under any Facility Lease)
(after there shall have been first deducted the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the termination, settlement and collection of such award or
awards, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses,
hereinafter referred to as "Settlement Costs") (i) shall be less than
$10,000,000 (except to the extent that


                                      -56-
<PAGE>

the Insurance Trustee is required to hold such amount pursuant to a Superior
Instrument Requirement), the entire amount of such award shall be paid to
Mortgagor; and (ii) if such award is $10,000,000 or more, the entire amount of
such award shall be paid to the Insurance Trustee. In either event, such awards
shall be applied to the cost of Restoration of the Trust Estate as nearly as
practicable to their uses, value and condition immediately prior to the Taking
(except to the extent otherwise provided by Superior Instrument Requirements).
Mortgagor shall promptly commence and with due diligence perform the Restoration
in accordance with clauses (iii), (iv) and (vii) of Subsection 5.10(e) (after
substituting the words "Taking" for "Casualty" and "award" for "net insurance
proceeds"), at no cost to Mortgagee. All claims or suits arising out of any
Taking may be settled by Mortgagor, except that Mortgagee shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to participate in such claim or suit, and to approve
settlement thereof (and notwithstanding anything in the Facility Leases to the
contrary, Mortgagor shall not agree to any settlement or compromise of the
amount of any such claim or suit, except a claim or suit where the amount
reasonably anticipated to be received by Mortgagor is less than $5,000,000). If
Mortgagee at its election as aforesaid joins such claim or suit, Mortgagee's
approval of such settlement shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Insurance
Trustee shall promptly pay such sums as are received by it from such Taking from
time to time in accordance with the procedures set forth in clauses (v) and (vi)
of Subsection 5.10(e) (after substituting the words "Taking" for "Casualty" and
"award" for "net insurance proceeds").

            (c) If at any time there shall occur a Taking of the whole or
substantially all of the Premises, then the award payable to Mortgagor shall not
be applied to Restoration but shall instead be paid and delivered to the Trustee
(subject to the rights of the lessors under any Facility Leases) to the extent
of the then Outstanding Amount of the Senior Partnership Note and any other
interest or other sums due hereunder or thereunder to be applied to the
satisfaction of this Mortgage to the extent proceeds are available for such
purpose and provided that no additional sums are due to the trustee or the
holders under the Senior Notes, the Senior Note Indenture, the Senior Guarantee,
the TCHI Notes, the TCHI Note Indenture, the TCHI Guarantee, the Mortgage Notes
or the Mortgage Note Indenture, the balance of any award shall be paid to
Mortgagor.

            (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee may, at its
option, (i) refrain from paying to Mortgagor or the Insurance Trustee any award
or (ii) instruct the Insurance Trustee to pay to Mortgagee any award then held
by the Insurance Trustee, as the case may be.

Section 5.18. Facility Team.

            (a) Mortgagor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep unimpaired the rights of Mortgagor, as lessee under all
Facility Leases, and, to prevent any termination, surrender, cancellation,
forfeiture or impairment of any thereof. Mortgagor shall at all times fully
perform and comply with all agreements, covenants, terms and conditions


                                      -57-
<PAGE>

imposed upon or assumed by it as lessee under each of the Facility Leases
(including, without limitation, the covenant to pay rent and all taxes,
assessments and other charges mentioned therein) prior to the expiration of any
notice and/or cure period provided in each such Facility Lease. Upon receipt by
Mortgagee from a Lessor of any written notice of default by the lessee
thereunder, Mortgagee may rely thereon and take any action Mortgagee deems
necessary in its sole discretion to prevent or to cure any default by Mortgagor
in the performance of or compliance with any of the agreements, covenants, terms
or conditions imposed upon or assumed by Mortgagor as lessee under such Facility
Lease, even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof be
questioned or denied by Mortgagor or by any party on behalf of Mortgagor.
Without limiting the generality of Section 3.9, Mortgagor hereby expressly
grants to Mortgagee, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have, the absolute and
immediate right to enter in and upon the Premises or any part thereof to such
extent and as often as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or
desirable for the purpose permitted by the immediately preceding sentence,
subject only to applicable Legal Requirements. Without limiting Mortgagor's
obligations or Mortgagee's rights set forth above or limiting Mortgagee's other
remedies under this Mortgage, Mortgagee may pay and expend such sums of money as
Mortgagee in its sole discretion deems necessary for any such purpose, and
Mortgagor hereby agrees to pay to Mortgagee immediately and without demand, all
such sums referred to above, so paid and expended by Mortgagee, together with
interest thereon from the date of each such payment at the highest rate of
interest set forth in the Senior Partnership Note. All sums so paid and expended
by Mortgagee, and the interest thereon, shall be added to and be secured by the
lien of this Mortgage.

            (b) Mortgagor further covenants and agrees as follows:

                  (i) Mortgagor shall not surrender, terminate or cancel any
      Facility Lease, and shall not without the consent of Mortgagee modify,
      change, supplement, alter or amend any Facility Lease either orally or in
      writing if an impairment of the security granted under this Mortgage would
      result therefrom. As further security for the repayment of the
      indebtedness secured hereby and for the performance of the covenants
      herein and in each Facility Lease contained, Mortgagor hereby assigns to
      Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's rights, privileges and prerogatives as lessee
      under each Facility Lease to terminate, cancel, modify, change,
      supplement, alter or amend such Facility Lease and any such termination,
      cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of
      a Facility Lease without the prior consent thereto by Mortgagee shall be
      void and of no force and effect. Unless (1) an Event of Default has
      occurred and is continuing and (2) either (A) there has been an
      acceleration of maturity of the Senior Partnership Note pursuant to
      Section 3.2 or (B) Mortgagee exercises its rights under Section 3.9,
      Mortgagee shall have no right to terminate, cancel, modify, change,
      supplement, alter or amend any Facility Lease.

                  (ii) Solely for the benefit of Mortgagee, Trustee, the Holders
      and no other person, no release or forbearance of any of Mortgagor's
      obligations under any Facility


                                      -58-
<PAGE>

      Lease, pursuant to such Facility Lease or otherwise, shall release
      Mortgagor from any of Mortgagor's other obligations under this Mortgage.

                  (iii) Unless Mortgagee shall otherwise expressly consent in
      writing, the fee title to the Leased Facilities and Mortgagor's leasehold
      estates therein shall not merge and shall always remain separate and
      distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in the Lessor
      or in the lessee, or in a third party by purchase or otherwise.

                  (iv) Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of
      any request made by Mortgagor, as lessee under any Facility Lease, or any
      of the Lessors, for arbitration proceedings under any Facility Lease and
      of the institution of any arbitration proceedings, as well as all
      proceedings thereunder. Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a
      copy of the determination of the arbitrators in each such arbitration
      proceeding. Mortgagee shall have the right to participate in such
      arbitration proceedings in association with Mortgagor or on its own behalf
      as an interested party.

                  (v) Mortgagor shall not consent to the subordination of any
      Facility Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on the fee
      interest of the Lessor.

                  (vi) If Mortgagor acquires fee simple title or any other
      estate, title or interest in any Leased Facility, Mortgagor shall promptly
      notify Mortgagee of such acquisition and, on request by Mortgagee, shall
      cause to be executed and recorded all such other and further assurances or
      other instruments in writing as may in the opinion of Mortgagee be
      required or desirable to carry out the intent and meaning of clause (x) of
      Granting Clause Third.

                  (vii) Within 5 days after Mortgagor's receipt of any notice of
      any motion, application or effort to reject any Facility Lease by any
      Lessor or any trustee arising from or in connection with any case,
      proceeding or other action commenced or pending by or against any Lessor
      under the Code or any comparable provision contained in any present or
      future federal, state, local, foreign or other statute, law, rule or
      regulation ("Comparable Provision"), Mortgagor shall give notice thereof
      to Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby (A) assigns to Mortgagee any and all of
      Mortgagor's rights as lessee under Section 365(h) of the Code or any
      Comparable Provision and (B) covenants that it shall not elect to treat
      any Facility Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Code or
      any Comparable Provision without the prior consent of Mortgagee and (C)
      agrees that any such election by Mortgagor without such consent shall be
      null and void.

                  (viii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to
      the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor hereby unconditionally
      assigns, transfers and sets over to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's claims
      and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by Lessor
      of any Facility Lease under the Code or any Comparable Provision.
      Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name
      of


                                      -59-
<PAGE>

      Mortgagor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to
      the rejection of any Facility Lease, including, without limitation, the
      right to file and prosecute, in cooperation with Mortgagor, any proofs of
      claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in
      any case in respect of Lessor under the Code or any Comparable Provision.
      This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional
      assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall
      continue in effect until all of the indebtedness and obligations secured
      by this Mortgage shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any
      amounts received by Mortgagee in damages arising out of the rejection of
      any Facility Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all reasonable
      costs and expenses of Mortgagee (including, without limitation, reasonable
      attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs) incurred in connection
      with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Section
      5.18, and thereafter as provided in Section 3.3.

                  (ix) If there shall be filed by or against Mortgagor a
      petition under the Code or any Comparable Provision and Mortgagor, as
      lessee under any Facility Lease, shall determine to reject such Facility
      Lease, Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee not less than 10 days' prior notice
      of the DRAFT ate on which Mortgagor shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court or
      other judicial body with appropriate jurisdiction for authority to reject
      such Facility Lease. Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the
      obligation, to serve upon Mortgagor within such 10-day period a notice
      stating that (a) Mortgagee demands that Mortgagor assume and assign such
      Facility Lease to Mortgagee pursuant to Section 365 of the Code or any
      Comparable Provision and (b) Mortgagee covenants to cure or provide
      adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate
      assurance of future performance under such Facility Lease. If Mortgagee
      serves upon Mortgagor the notice described in the preceding sentence,
      Mortgagor shall not seek to reject such Facility Lease and shall comply
      with the demand provided for in clause (a) of the preceding sentence
      within 30 days after the notice shall have been given subject to the
      performance by Mortgagee of the covenant provided for in clause (b) of the
      preceding sentence. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.18(ix)
      shall not apply to the extent not permitted by applicable law. Effective
      upon the entry of an order for relief in respect of Mortgagor under
      Chapter 7 of the Code or any Comparable Provision, Mortgagor hereby
      assigns and transfers to Mortgagee a non-exclusive right to apply to the
      Bankruptcy Court or other judicial body with appropriate jurisdiction for
      an order extending the period during which such Facility Lease may be
      rejected or assumed.

                  (x) Mortgagor shall promptly give to Mortgagee copies of (A)
      all notices of default and (B) any other communications or notices with
      respect to events that relate to the possible impairment of the security
      of this Mortgage, which Mortgagor shall give or receive under any Facility
      Lease and shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any default under any
      Facility Lease on the part of the Lessor or Mortgagor.


                                      -60-
<PAGE>

                  (xi) Mortgagor shall enforce with due diligence all of the
      obligations of the Lessor under each Facility Lease, to the end that
      Mortgagor may enjoy all of the rights and privileges granted to it under
      the Facility Leases.

                  (xii) Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee within 5 days after the
      transfer of a fee interest in any Leased Facility or any portion thereof
      to or from an Affiliate.

                  (xiii) No Affiliate of Mortgagor shall at any time hereafter
      acquire fee title to the Leased Land or any portion thereof unless
      simultaneously with such acquisition such Affiliate and Mortgagor execute
      and exchange (and deliver to the Trustee an executed counterpart of) an
      instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee providing that
      so long as such Affiliate owns such fee title (A) such Affiliate shall not
      terminate the applicable Facility Lease for any reason whatsoever
      (including, without limitation, due to the default of Mortgagor under such
      Facility Lease) and (B) such Affiliate shall not accept, and, if tendered
      by Mortgagor shall promptly return to Mortgagor, any payment of rent or
      other charges payable under such Facility Lease in excess of the amount
      required to pay the debt service and other sums payable under any mortgage
      affecting such Affiliate's fee interest in the applicable Leased Facility
      (and such Affiliate shall use such funds only to pay its debt service
      obligations and other sums payable under such mortgage) at any time that
      an Event of Default, or a Default of the types described in Section
      3.1(a), (b) and (f) of this Mortgage or Section 5.1(a), (b), (f) or (g) of
      the Senior Note Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing under
      this Mortgage or the Senior Note Indenture.

            (c) Subject to the provisions of Subsection 5.18(b)(iii), if both
the lessor's and lessee's estates under any Facility Lease or any portion
thereof shall at any time become vested in one owner, this Mortgage and the lien
created hereby shall nevertheless not be destroyed or terminated by application
of the doctrine of merger and, in such event, Mortgagee shall continue to have
all of the rights and privileges of a first leasehold mortgagee.

            (d) Mortgagor hereby acknowledges that if any Facility Lease shall
be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term due to default by the
lessee thereunder, and if pursuant to such Facility Lease, Mortgagee or its
designee shall acquire from the Lessor a new lease of the Leased Facility or any
portion thereof, Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such
lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or the options therein contained.

            (e) Each Facility Lease hereafter entered into or assumed by
Mortgagor as lessee or sublessee shall contain provisions (i) permitting the
assignment of the same to Mortgagee and the Trustee and permitting assignment
without the lessor's consent if this Mortgage is foreclosed; and (ii) providing
protection to Mortgagee, as leasehold mortgagee, in form reasonably satisfactory
to Mortgagee.

Section 5.19. Indemnification.

            Mortgagor shall protect, indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Mortgagee and its directors, officers, partners, shareholders, agents, servants
and employees from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs), imposed
upon or incurred by or asserted against Mortgagee by reason of (a) any injury to
or death of Persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the
Premises or any part thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault
spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways, (b) any use, nonuse or condition of the
Premises or any part thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault
spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways, (c) any failure on the part of
Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Mortgage, (d)
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other
property in respect of the Premises or any part thereof made or suffered to be
made by or on behalf of Mortgagor, (e) any negligence or tortious act on the
part of Mortgagor or any of its agents, contractors, lessees, licensees or
invitees, or (f) any work in connection with the Premises; provided, that no
amounts shall be payable to Mortgagee under this Section 5.19 in respect of
liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs or
expenses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Mortgagee to the extent
the same result from any negligence or tortious act on the part of Mortgagee or
any of its agents, contractors, lessees, licensees or invitees. All amounts
payable to Mortgagee under this Section 5.19 shall be payable on demand;
provided, that with respect to consequential damages (other than attorneys'
fees, disbursements and court costs imposed upon or incurred by Mortgagee in
connection therewith, which shall in all events be payable on demand), no such
amounts shall be payable until, and to the extent that, (i) there has been
entered the final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction awarding
such consequential damages to the party or parties seeking such damages or (ii)
an agreement of settlement with respect thereto (which shall have been
previously approved by Mortgagor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)
shall have been executed by Mortgagee and such party or parties. Any such
amounts which are not paid within 5 days after demand therefor by Mortgagee
shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the Senior Partnership Note from
the date of such demand and all such amounts and interest thereon shall be
secured by the lien of this Mortgage. In case any action, suit or proceeding is
brought against Mortgagee by reason of any such occurrence, Mortgagor, upon
request of Mortgagee, shall, at Mortgagor's expense, resist and defend such
action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted or defended by
counsel designated by Mortgagor and approved by Mortgagee, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that Willkie, Farr & Gallagher is hereby
approved by Mortgagee.

Section 5.20. TCHI Mortgages.

            (a) Mortgagor shall at all times fully perform and comply with all
agreements, covenants, terms and conditions imposed upon or assumed by it as
mortgagor under the TCHI Mortgages prior to the expiration of any notice and/or
cure period provided in each such TCHI Mortgage. If a notice of default has been
given by the holder of the TCHI Mortgages, Mortgagee may rely thereon and take
any action Mortgagee deems necessary in its sole discretion to prevent or to
cure any default by Mortgagor in the performance of or compliance with any of
the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions imposed upon or assumed by
Mortgagor as mortgagor (or assignee of the mortgagor) under the TCHI Mortgages
even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof be questioned or
denied by Mortgagor or by any party on behalf of Mortgagor. Without limiting the
generality of Section 3.9, Mortgagor hereby expressly grants to Mortgagee, and
agrees that Mortgagee shall have, the absolute and immediate right to enter in
and upon the Premises or any part thereof to such extent and as often as
Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable for the purpose
permitted by the immediately preceding sentence, subject only to applicable
Legal Requirements. Without limiting Mortgagor's obligations or Mortgagee's
rights set forth above or limiting Mortgagee's other remedies under this
Mortgage, Mortgagee may (i) pay and expend such sums of money as Mortgagee in
its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable for any such purpose and (ii)
in its sole discretion prepay the TCHI Mortgages then in default, and Mortgagor
hereby agrees to pay to Mortgagee immediately and without demand, all such sums
referred to in (i) and (ii) above so paid and expended by Mortgagee, together
with interest thereon from the date of each such payment at the highest rate of
interest set forth in the Senior Partnership Note. All sums so paid and expended
by Mortgagee and the interest thereon, shall be added to and be secured by the
lien of this Mortgage.

            (b) Mortgagor further covenants and agrees:

                  (i) Mortgagor shall not, without first obtaining the consent
      of Mortgagee in each instance: (A) modify, replace or refinance the TCHI
      Mortgages if (x) the collateral securing the lien thereof would be
      increased thereby (other than after-acquired property required by the
      terms of the TCHI Mortgages to be encumbered thereby) or (y) such
      modification, replacement or refinancing violates any other provision of
      this Senior Note Mortgage or the Senior Note Indenture or (B) acquire or
      permit or suffer any Affiliate of Mortgagor to acquire the TCHI Mortgages
      or any Interest therein;

                  (ii) Mortgagor shall timely pay and perform all of the
      obligations to be paid or performed by the mortgagor under the TCHI
      Mortgages, the notes secured thereby and any other instrument evidencing
      or securing the indebtedness owing to any holder of the TCHI Mortgages;

                  (iii) at any time and from time to time, Mortgagor shall upon
      request of Mortgagee promptly use its reasonable efforts to obtain an
      estoppel certificate or letter


                                      -63-
<PAGE>

      addressed to Mortgagee from the holder of the TCHI Mortgages, such
      certificate or letter to be in such form as Mortgagee shall reasonably
      request;

                  (iv) Mortgagor shall promptly give to Mortgagee copies of (A)
      all notices of default or (B) any other notice or communication with
      respect to events which relate to the possible impairment of the security
      of this Mortgage, which Mortgagor shall give or receive under the TCHI
      Mortgages and shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any default under the
      TCHI Mortgages on the part of Mortgagor.

                             FORM OF NON-DISTURBANCE
                            AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

            THIS AGREEMENT, made as of the _____ day of ________ by and between
U.S. Bank National Association (hereinafter called "Mortgagee") having an office
at 180 Fifth Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 and ____________________________
a corporation having an office at _____________________________ (hereinafter
called "Tenant").

                             W I T N E S S E T H:

            WHEREAS, Mortgagee is the mortgagee under that certain Indenture of
Mortgage dated April 17, 1998 (said mortgage, as it may be amended, increased,
renewed, modified, consolidated, replaced, combined, substituted, severed,
split, spread or extended, being hereinafter referred to as the "Mortgage")
between Trump's Castle Funding, Inc. ("Funding") and Trump's Castle Associates,
L.P. (the "Partnership") which encumbers Trump Marina Hotel Casino and certain
other real property located in Atlantic City, New Jersey, more particularly
described in Exhibit A hereto. Funding assigned all of its right, title and
interest in the Mortgage to U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee under
that certain Indenture dated as of April 17, 1998 by and between Mortgagee,
Funding and the Partnership, pursuant to a Senior TCHI Assignment Agreement
dated as of April 17, 1998; and

            WHEREAS, Tenant has entered into a certain agreement of lease dated
__________ [as amended by agreements dated __________ and __________] and as it
may be hereafter amended from time to time (the "Lease") covering (the "Demised
Premises").

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein
contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

            1. Tenant covenants and agrees that the Lease now is and shall at
all times continue to be subject and subordinate in each and every respect to
the Mortgage. Tenant, upon request, shall execute and deliver any certificate or
other instrument which the Mortgagee may reasonably request to confirm said
subordination by Tenant.

            2. Tenant certifies that the Lease is presently in full force and
effect and unmodified and no base rent payable thereunder has been paid more
than one (1) Year in advance of its due date, and that no default exists under
the Lease which has continued beyond the expiration of any applicable grace
period.


                                      4-1
<PAGE>

            3. As long as Tenant is in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement and no default exists under the Lease which has continued beyond the
expiration of any applicable grace period, Mortgagee shall not name Tenant as a
party defendant to any action for foreclosure or other enforcement thereof
(unless required by law), nor shall the Lease be terminated by mortgagee in
connection with, or by reason of, foreclosure or other proceedings for the
enforcement of the Mortgage, or by reason of a transfer of the landlord's
interest under the Lease pursuant to the taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure
(or similar device), nor shall Tenant's use or possession of the Demised
Premises be interfered with by Mortgagee, unless the holder of the landlord's
interest under the Lease (the "Landlord") would have had such right if the
Mortgage had not been made, except that the person acquiring, or succeeding to
the interests of the Landlord as a result of any such action or proceeding, and
such person's successors and assigns (any of the foregoing being hereinafter
referred to as the "Successor"), shall not be:

            (a) subject to any credits, offsets, defenses or claims which Tenant
      might have against any prior landlord; nor

            (b) bound by any base rent which Tenant might have paid for more
      than the current month to any prior landlord, unless such prepayment shall
      have been made with Mortgagee's prior written consent; nor

            (c) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord; nor

            (d) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any improvement
      to the Demised Premises or the building forming a part of the Property;
      nor

            (e) be required to account for any security deposit other than any
      security deposit actually delivered to the Successor; nor

            (f) liable for any payment to Tenant of any sums, or the granting to
      Tenant of any credit, in the nature of a contribution towards the cost of
      preparing, furnishing or moving into the Demised Premises or any portion
      thereof.

            4. if the interest of the Landlord under the Lease shall be referred
by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of the Mortgage or
pursuant to a taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (or similar device),
Tenant shall be bound to the Successor, and, except as provided in this
Agreement, the Successor shall be bound to Tenant, under all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof
remaining, with the same force and effect as if the Successor were the Landlord,
and Tenant does hereby (i) agree to attorn to the Successor, including Mortgagee
if it be the Successor, as its landlord, (ii) affirm its obligations under the
Lease, and (iii) agree to make payments of all sums due under the Lease to the
Successor, said attornment, affirmation and agreement to be effective and
self-operative without the execution of any further instruments, upon the
Successor succeeding to the interest to the Landlord under the Lease. Tenant
waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect
that may


                                      4-2
<PAGE>

            give or purport to give it any right or election to terminate or
otherwise adversely affect the Lease or the obligations of Tenant thereunder by
reason of any foreclosure or similar proceeding.

            5. This Agreement may not be modified except by an agreement in
writing signed by the parties or their respective successors in interest. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto,
their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns.

            6. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way impair or
affect the lien created by the Mortgage except as specifically set forth herein.

            7. The Tenant agrees that this Agreement satisfies any condition or
requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement
by Mortgagee. Tenant further agrees that in the event there is any inconsistency
between the terms and provisions hereof and the terms and provisions of the
Lease dealing with non-disturbance by Mortgagee, the terms and provisions hereof
shall be controlling.

            8. All notices, demands or requests made pursuant to, under, or by
virtue of this Agreement must be in writing and mailed to the party whom the
notice, demand or request is being made by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, at its address set forth above. Any party may change the
place that notices and demands are to be sent by written notice delivered in
accordance with this Agreement.

            9. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New
Jersey. If any term of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person
or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Agreement or the application of such term to any person or circumstances
other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be
affected thereby, and each term of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law.
