Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in

Deficit as quickly as possible. This paragraph (c) is intended to
constitute a "qualified income offset" under Regulation Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
-23-
<PAGE>
(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal
----------------------
year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. [For purposes of
Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), "excess nonrecourse liabilities" shall be
allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests.]
(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions
------------------------------
for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be specially allocated
to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the debt (i.e., the
Partner Nonrecourse Debt) in respect of which such Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable (as determined under Regulation Section 1.704-
2(b) (4) and (i) (1)).
(f) Additional Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, upon
----------------------
final dissolution and termination of the Partnership and after taking into
account all allocations of Net Income and Net Loss (and other Tax Items)
under this Article V, the distributions to be made in accordance with the
positive Capital Account balances would result in a distribution that would
be different from a distribution under Section 6.3 hereof, then gross items
of income and gain (and other Tax Items) for the taxable year of the final
dissolution and termination (and, to the extent permitted under section
761(c) of the Code, gross items of income and gain (and other Tax Items)
for the immediately preceding taxable year) shall be allocated to the
Partners to increase or decrease their Capital Account balances, as the
case may be, so that the final distribution will occur in the same manner
as a distribution under Section 6.3 hereof.
Section 5.3. Tax Allocations.
---------------
(a) Generally. Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) hereof, items of
---------
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to be allocated for income tax
purposes (collectively, "Tax Items") shall be allocated among the Partners
---------
on the same basis as their respective book items.
(b) Sections 1245/1250 Recapture. If any portion of gain from the
----------------------------
sale of property is treated as gain which is ordinary income by virtue of
the application of Code Sections 1245 or 1250 ("Affected Gain"), except to
-------------
the extent that the tax treatment of such sale is governed by section
704(c) of the Code as provided under Section 5.3(c) hereof, then (i) such
Affected Gain, to the extent attributable to depreciation or amortization
allowed or allowable for any taxable period subsequent to the date hereof,
shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion that the
depreciation and amortization deductions
-24-
<PAGE>
giving rise to the Affected Gain were allocated and (ii) other Tax Items of
gain of the same character that would have been recognized, but for the
application of Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250, shall be allocated away from
those Partners who are allocated Affected Gain pursuant to clause (i) so
that, to the extent possible, the other Partners are allocated the same
amount, and type, of capital gain that would have been allocated to them
had Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250 not applied. For purposes hereof, in
order to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and
amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period,
such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income
or Net Loss for such respective period.
(c) Allocations Respecting Section 704(c). Property contributed to
-------------------------------------
the Partnership shall be subject to Section 704(c) of the Code and
Regulation Section 1.704-3 so that notwithstanding Section 5.2 hereof,
taxable gain and loss from disposition of such property contributed to the
Partnership that is subject to section 704(c) of the Code shall be
allocated on a property by property basis in accordance with the
Regulations promulgated thereunder. For the purpose of allocating Tax
Items, the Partnership shall apply the "ceiling rule" set forth in
Regulation Section 1.704-3, the effect of which will not be subject to cure
by special allocation except as specifically provided in the next sentence
of this Section 5.3(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, tax depreciation
and amortization with respect to Partnership property contributed by the
Initial Limited Partner pursuant to the Contribution Agreement between the
Partnership and the Initial Limited Partner, dated as of June 12, 1995,
shall be allocated on an aggregate basis for purposes of complying with the
requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code, taking into account, for any
particular taxable year for which such allocation is made, the aggregate
amount of depreciation and amortization allowable with respect to the
aggregate basis of all such Partnership properties determined as of June
12, 1995 (and not taking into account (i) any increase in the basis of such
properties resulting from improvements thereon made by the Partnership
subsequent to June 12, 1995 or (ii) any additional basis resulting from any
new property purchased by the Partnership in a taxable transaction
subsequent to June 12, 1995); provided, however, that the General Partner
shall not specially allocate any Tax Items related to the Partnership
properties described in this sentence, other than the items of depreciation
and amortization referred to in this sentence, to cure for the effect of
the ceiling rule set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-3(b). The
Partnership shall allocate items of income, gain, loss and deduction
allocated to it by a partnership to the Partner or Partners contributing
the interest or interests in such partnership, so that, to the greatest
extent possible and
-25-
<PAGE>
consistent with the foregoing, such contributing Partner or Partners are
allocated the same amount and character of items of income, gain, loss and
deduction with respect to such partnership that they would have been
allocated had they contributed undivided interests in the assets owned by
such partnership to the Partnership in lieu of contributing the interest or
interests in the partnership to the Partnership.
Section 5.4. Books of Account. At all times during the continuance
----------------
of the Partnership, the General Partner shall maintain or cause to be maintained
full, true, complete and correct books of account in accordance with GAAP, using
the calendar year as the fiscal and taxable year of the Partnership. In
addition, the Partnership shall keep all records required to be kept pursuant to
the Act.
Section 5.5. Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner is hereby
-------------------
designated as the Tax Matters Partner within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7)
of the Code for the Partnership; provided, however, that (i) in exercising its
-------- -------
authority as Tax Matters Partner, the General Partner shall be limited by the
provisions of this Agreement affecting tax aspects of the Partnership; (ii) the
General Partner shall consult in good faith with the Limited Partner
Representative regarding the filing of a Code Section 6227(b) administrative
adjustment request with respect to the Partnership or a Contributed Property
before filing such request, it being understood, however, that the provisions
hereof shall not be construed to limit the ability of any Partner, including the
General Partner, to file an administrative adjustment request on its own behalf
pursuant to Section 6227(a) of the Code; (iii) the General Partner shall consult
in good faith with the Limited Partner Representative regarding the filing of a
petition for judicial review of an administrative adjustment request under
Section 6228 of the Code, or a petition for judicial review of a final
partnership administrative judgment under Section 6226 of the Code relating to
the Partnership before filing such petition; (iv) the General Partner shall give
prompt notice to the Limited Partner Representative and any notice partners
under Section 6231 of the Code of the receipt of any written notice that the
Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority intends to
examine or audit Partnership income tax returns for any year, receipt of written
notice of the beginning of an administrative proceeding at the Partnership level
relating to the Partnership under Section 6223 of the Code, receipt of written
notice of the final Partnership administrative adjustment relating to the
Partnership pursuant to Section 6223 of the Code, and receipt of any request
from the Internal Revenue Service for waiver of any applicable statute of
limitations with respect to the filing of any tax return by the Partnership and
(v) the General Partner shall promptly notify the Limited Partner Representative
if the General Partner does not intend to file for judicial review with respect
to the Partnership.
-26-
<PAGE>
Section 5.6. Tax Elections and Returns. All elections required or
-------------------------
permitted to be made by the Partnership under any applicable tax law shall be
made by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, except that
the General Partner shall, if requested by a Limited Partner or a transferee,
file an election on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to Section 754 of the
Code to adjust the basis of the Partnership property in the case of a transfer
of a Partnership Interest or distribution from the Partnership, including
transfers made in connection with the exercise of the Rights, made in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. The General Partner shall cause the
Accountants to prepare and submit to the Limited Partner Representative on or
before March 31st of each year for review drafts of all federal and state income
tax returns of the Partnership. If the Limited Partner Representative
determines that any modifications to the tax returns of the Partnership should
be considered, the Limited Partner Representative shall, within fifteen (15)
days following receipt of such tax returns from the Accountants or the General
Partner, indicate to the Accountants or to the General Partner the suggested
revisions to the tax returns, which returns shall be resubmitted to the Limited
Partner Representative for its review and approval. The Limited Partner
Representative shall complete its review of the resubmitted returns within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof from the Accountants or the General Partner.
The General Partner shall consult in good faith with the Limited Partner
Representative regarding any proposed modifications to the tax returns of the
Partnership, provided that (i) a majority of the Special Committee shall make
the final decision, in light of the best interest of all Partners, of whether to
accept or reject any such proposed modifications, which decision shall be
binding upon the Partnership and all of the Partners and (ii) no Partner shall,
unless otherwise required by applicable law, take any position for income tax
purposes or otherwise that is inconsistent with such final decision of the
majority of the Special Committee. A statement of the allocation of Net Income
or Net Loss of the Partnership shown on the annual income tax returns prepared
by the Accountants shall be transmitted and delivered to the Limited Partner
Representative within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof by the Partnership.
The General Partner shall be responsible for preparing and filing all federal
and state tax returns for the Partnership and furnishing copies thereof to the
Partners, together with required Partnership schedules showing allocations of
tax items, all within the period of time prescribed by law. The General Partner
shall use reasonable efforts to make available to the Limited Partners final
Forms K-1 not later than March 31 of each year. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Trump shall have the right to control the resolution of tax matters affecting or
relating to Taj Associates in respect of periods ending on or prior to the date
hereof, including requiring the Partnership, Trump AC and Taj Associates to
adjust the tax basis of assets held by Taj Associates in connection with the
resolution of such tax matters to the extent such basis adjustments shall not
reduce THCR's
-27-
<PAGE>
share of federal income tax depreciation and cost recovery deductions in respect
of assets held by Taj Associates as of the date hereof and contributions of the
interests in Taj Associates to Trump AC.
Section 5.7. Tax Certifications.
------------------
(a) The Partnership shall deliver to each partner in the manner
provided in Section 16.1, from time to time as necessary to implement
timely the provisions of this Agreement, certificates executed by its chief
financial officers and the Accountants indicating the respective
calculations with respect to, and the amounts of, a Partner's share of Tax
Distributions and the amount of any repayments to the Partnership called
for thereunder, together with supporting schedules in reasonable detail all
as of each pertinent date and delivered at least 15 business days prior to
the date payment is due.
(b) The certificates delivered pursuant to paragraph (a) hereof shall
be deemed approved by all parties and the Partnership shall act upon such
certificates as provided in this Agreement unless within five business days
of delivery of such certificate a Partner objects to the contents of any
certificate by written notice in detail sufficient to state the basis for
the objection. The Partners shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such
objection.
ARTICLE VI
----------
DISTRIBUTIONS
-------------
Section 21. General. Distributions of cash or property may be made
-------
in accordance herewith at such times as the General Partner deems appropriate in
the order provided in this Article VI, subject to the limitations, if any, set
forth in the agreements governing the Partnership's Indebtedness.
Section 6.1. Distributions for Taxes.
-----------------------
(a) The Partnership shall distribute to each Partner in one or more
payments, including payments described in paragraph (b) from time to time
during each year, but in no event later than March 1 of the year
immediately following such year, an aggregate cash sum equal to the product
of (i) Tax Amounts in respect of the taxable year, or portion thereof, for
which such distribution is being made and (ii) the Partner's Percentage
Interest. In addition, the Partnership shall make additional pro rata
distributions as are necessary to reflect adjustments, as determined in
good faith by the board of directors of the General Partner, to any item
affecting Tax Amounts, as
-28-
<PAGE>
reflected on the Partnership's tax return, as it may be amended from time
to time, or as a result of a concluded tax audit.
(b) In addition to the certificates required by Section 5.7, the
Partnership shall furnish the Partners with such information as they shall
reasonably request from time to time respecting estimates of the
Partnership's taxable income or loss (and items thereof) for any fiscal
year or portion thereof. If, in any year, any Partner shall be required to
make federal, state or local estimated income tax payments under applicable
law and regulations, then, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date (the
"Estimated Payment Date") upon which any such payments are due, the
Partnership shall deliver to each Partner the certificates required by
Section 5.7, indicating the amount (the "Estimated Payment") of the tax in
respect of the respective Tax Amounts due on the Estimated Payment Date,
and not later than fifteen (15) days prior to such Estimated Payment Date,
the Partnership shall pay to such Partner an amount equal to such Estimated
Payment. The amount of each Estimated Payment received by such Partner
shall be treated as a non-interest bearing advance against the amounts
distributable in respect of such Partner's pro rata share of Tax Amounts to
such Partner for such year. If the aggregate amount of the Estimated
Payments received by a Partner for any year shall exceed the distribution
to which such Partner actually is entitled under paragraph (a) above, such
Partner shall forthwith repay such excess to the Partnership on or before
the date set forth in paragraph (a) above, unless such excess shall have
been paid to taxing authorities in which event such excess shall be applied
to reduce the amount otherwise distributable pursuant to this Section 6.2
in respect of the Partnership's next succeeding fiscal year or years. Each
Partner shall seek, to the extent entitled thereto, and contribute to the
Partnership any refund of taxes paid by such Partner out of amounts
distributed pursuant to this Section 6.2 promptly after receipt of such
refund.
Section 6.3. Other Distributions. After payments and distributions,
-------------------
if any, of the amounts set forth in Section 6.2 above, the Partnership may
distribute, in the discretion of a majority of the board of directors of the
General Partner, cash or other property, valued at its Fair Market Value, to the
Partners. Any such distributions shall be made pro rata in accordance with
their Percentage Interests.
Section 6.4. Withholding Payments Required By Law.
------------------------------------
Unless treated as a Tax Payment Loan (as hereinafter defined),
any amount paid by the Partnership for or with respect to any Partner on
account of any withholding tax or other tax payable with respect to the
income, profits
-29-
<PAGE>
or distributions of the Partnership pursuant to the Code, the Regulations,
or any state or local statute, regulation or ordinance requiring such
payment (a "Withholding Tax Act") shall be treated as a distribution to
-------------------
such Partner for all purposes of this Agreement, consistent with the
character or source of the income, profits or cash which gave rise to the
payment or withholding obligation. To the extent that the amount required
to be remitted by the Partnership under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds the
amount then otherwise distributable to such Partner, unless and to the
extent that funds shall have been provided by such Partner pursuant to the
last sentence of this Section 6.4(a), the excess shall constitute a loan
from the Partnership to such Partner (a "Tax Payment Loan") which shall be
----------------
payable upon demand and shall bear interest, from the date that the
Partnership makes the payment to the relevant taxing authority, at the rate
announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. (or any successor thereto) as
its "prime rate", compounded monthly (but in no event higher than the
highest interest rate permitted by applicable law). So long as any Tax
Payment Loan to any Partner or the interest thereon remains unpaid, the
Partnership shall make future distributions due to such Partner under this
Agreement by applying the amount of any such distributions first to the
payment of any unpaid interest on such Tax Payment Loan and then to the
repayment of the principal thereof, and no such future distributions shall
be paid to such Partner until all of such principal and interest has been
paid in full. If the amount required to be remitted by the Partnership
under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds the amount then otherwise
distributable to a Partner, the Partnership shall notify such Partner at
least five (5) Business Days in advance of the date upon which the
Partnership would be required to make a Tax Payment Loan under this Section
6.4(a) (the "Tax Payment Loan Date") and provide such Partner the
---------------------
opportunity to pay to the Partnership, on or before the Tax Payment Loan
Date, all or a portion of such deficit.
(b) The General Partner shall have the authority to take all actions
necessary to enable the Partnership to comply with the provisions of any
Withholding Tax Act applicable to the Partnership and to carry out the
provisions of this Section 6.4. Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall create
any obligation on the General Partner to advance funds to the Partnership
or to borrow funds from third parties in order to make any payments on
account of any liability of the Partnership under a Withholding Tax Act.
(c) In the event that a Tax Payment Loan is not paid by a Limited
Partner within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor is made by
the General Partner, the General Partner may cause all distributions that
would
-30-
<PAGE>
otherwise be made to such Limited Partner to be retained by the
Partnership, up to the amount necessary to repay such Tax Payment Loan,
including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and such retained
distributions shall be applied against, first, the accrued interest on and,
-----
second, the principal of, such Tax Payment Loan.
------
Section 6.5. Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
------------
this Agreement, the obligations to make distributions contemplated hereby shall
be limited to the assets of the Partnership and shall be non-recourse with
respect to the Partners and any of their assets.

Affiliates of the General Partner. The General Partner hereby acknowledges and
confirms that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name
of the General Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall
be held by the General Partner for the use and benefit of the Partnership in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause beneficial and record title
to such assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as reasonably
practicable. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the
Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal
title to such Partnership assets is held.
Section 7.7. Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to
-------------------------
the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be
entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority to
encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the
Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and
such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if it were the
Partnership's sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. In no
event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives
be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been
-36-
<PAGE>
complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or
action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every
certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership
by the General Partner shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND WINDING-UP
---------------------------------------
Section 8.1. Accounting. In the event of the dissolution, liquidation
----------
and winding-up of the Partnership, a proper accounting shall be made of the
Capital Account of each Partner and of the Net Income or Net Loss of the
Partnership from the date of the last previous accounting to the date of
dissolution.
Section 8.2. Distribution on Dissolution. In the event of the
---------------------------
dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership for any reason, the assets of the
Partnership shall be liquidated for distribution in the following rank and
order:
(a) Payment of creditors of the Partnership, including creditors who
are Partners or former Partners;
(b) Establishment of reserves as provided by the Liquidating Trustee
to provide for contingent liabilities, if any; and
(c) To the Partners in accordance with the positive balances in their
Capital Accounts after giving effect to all contributions, distributions
and allocations for all periods.
Whenever the Liquidating Trustee reasonably determines that any reserves
established pursuant to paragraph (b) above are in excess of the reasonable
requirements of the Partnership, the amount determined to be excess shall be
distributed to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Section
8.2.
Section 8.3. Timing Requirements.
-------------------
In the event that the Partnership is "liquidated" within the
meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Regulations, any and all
distributions to the Partners pursuant to Section 8.2(c) hereof shall be
made no later than the later to occur of (i) the last day of the taxable
year of the Partnership in which such
-39-
<PAGE>
liquidation occurs or (ii) ninety (90) days after the date of such
liquidation.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2 hereof which
require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the
order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of
the Partnership the Liquidating Trustee determines that an immediate sale
of part or all of the Partnership's assets would be impractical or would
cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidating Trustee may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any
assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership
(including to those Partners which are creditors of the Partnership)
and/or, with the Consent of the Limited Partners, distribute to the
Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.2 hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership
assets as the Liquidating Trustee deems not suitable for liquidation. Any
such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith
judgment of the Liquidating Trustee, such distributions in kind are in the
best interest of the Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions
relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the
Liquidating Trustee deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements
governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidating
Trustee shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed
in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.
Section 8.4. Documentation of Liquidation. Upon the completion of the
----------------------------
dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, the Partnership shall terminate
and the Liquidating Trustee shall have the authority to execute and record any
and all documents or instruments required to effect the dissolution, liquidation
and termination of the Partnership.
Section 8.5. Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the
-----------
occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) the dissolution, liquidation, termination, withdrawal, death,
insanity, retirement or Bankruptcy of the last remaining General Partner or
other event causing dissolution under the Act;
(b) the election to dissolve the Partnership made in writing by the
General Partner with the Consent of the Limited Partners;
(c) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership unless the General Partner elects to continue the
Partnership business for the purpose of the receipt and the collection
-40-
<PAGE>
of indebtedness or the collection of any other consideration to be received
in exchange for the assets of the Partnership (which activities shall be
deemed to be part of the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership); or
(d) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership
pursuant to the provisions of the Act, which decree is final and not
subject to appeal.
Following an event causing a dissolution of the Partnership, the
Partnership shall be wound-up and terminated unless the business of the
Partnership is continued by the Partnership in reconstituted form pursuant to
Section 8.6.
Section 8.6. Continuation of the Partnership. The Partners hereby
-------------------------------
waive their right of partition and agree, that except as provided in Section
9.7, they shall not do anything that would terminate the Partnership prior to
the expiration of its term without the prior Consent of the Limited Partners.
Upon the bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, withdrawal, death, retirement or
insanity of any General Partner (a "Disabling Event"), or any other event of
dissolution under the Act, within 90 days thereafter, all of the remaining
Partners (or, to the extent permitted under the Act, such lesser number or
percentage of the Partners, but in no event less than a majority-in-interest of
the remaining Partners) may (a) elect to reconstitute the Partnership and
continue its business, and (b) in the case of an event as a result of which
there is no longer a party serving as general partner of the Partnership, select
a substitute General Partner, which substitute General Partner accepts such
election and agrees to serve as General Partner. Such successor General Partner
shall thereupon succeed to the rights and obligations of the General Partner as
provided in Section 9.1. A General Partner which has suffered a Disabling Event
shall automatically be converted to a Limited Partner having none of the voting
rights or privileges provided hereunder for the election to reconstitute the
Partnership as provided above.

TRANSFER AND REDEMPTION OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS;
-------------------------------------------------
CERTAIN CONSENT RIGHTS
----------------------
Section 9.1. General Partner Transfer.
------------------------
(a) Except as set forth in Section 9.7, during such time as the
Limited Partners (not including the General Partner) own in the aggregate
more than ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Partnership
Interests, the General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership and
shall not Transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership
without the Consent of the Limited Partners.
-41-
<PAGE>
(b) Upon any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by the General
Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1 (other than
in connection with the granting of a Lien), the transferee General Partner
shall become vested with the powers and rights of the transferor General
Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all
duties of the General Partner, once such transferee has executed such
instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm
the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Partnership Interest so
acquired. It shall be a further condition to any Transfer otherwise
permitted hereunder (other than in connection with the granting of a Lien)
that the transferee assumes by express agreement (or pursuant to a
statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities
of the General Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation
of law) all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner under this
Agreement with respect to such transferred Partnership Interest and no such
Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation
wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor General Partner
are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve
the transferor General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement
without the Consent of the Limited Partners. In connection with any such
permitted Transfer (other than in connection with the granting of a Lien),
the successor General Partner shall be deemed admitted as such immediately
prior to the effective time of the Transfer from the transferor General
Partner and shall continue the business of the Partnership without
dissolution.
(c) If the General Partner withdraws or retires from the Partnership,
in violation of this Agreement, (i) any remaining general partner may
continue the Partnership business or (ii) within 90 days thereafter, all of
the remaining Partners (or, to the extent permitted under the Act, such
lesser number or percentage of the Partners, but in no event less than a
majority-in-interest of the remaining Partners) may elect to continue the
Partnership business pursuant to Section 8.6.
Section 9.2. Transfers by Limited Partners.
-----------------------------
(a) No Limited Partner shall have the right, directly or indirectly,
to Transfer all or any part of its Partnership Interest to any Person
without the prior written consent of the General Partner, including a
majority of the Special Committee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent shall be
required for (i) a Transfer of Partnership Interests pursuant to Article
XII hereof, (ii) a Transfer of
-42-
<PAGE>
Partnership Interests to a Permitted Holder, (iii) the subjecting of a
Limited Partnership Interest to a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest
Lien or (iv) the subsequent foreclosure on such a Permitted Limited
Partnership Interest Lien.
(b) It shall be a further condition to any Transfer (other than the
granting of a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest Lien) otherwise
permitted hereunder (including upon the foreclosure of any Lien) that the
transferee assume by operation of law or express agreement all of the
obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, under Article IX) with respect to such
transferred Partnership Interest and no such Transfer (other than pursuant
to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and
liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor
corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of
its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General
Partner, in its reasonable discretion (it being understood that, without
limiting the generality of Section 9.5, a transferor Partner shall be
deemed relieved from such obligations, without the necessity of any such
approval, in respect of Partnership Interests transferred to the General
Partner pursuant to Article XII hereof). Upon such Transfer, the
transferee shall, subject to Section 9.2(d), be admitted as a substituted
Limited Partner and shall succeed to all of the rights, including rights
with respect to Article XII hereof, of the transferor Limited Partner under
this Agreement in the place and stead of such transferor Limited Partner
(which succession, in the event of a pledge, may be entered into and become
effective at the time of foreclosure or other realization of such pledge).
Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a substituted Limited Partner,
shall succeed to the obligations of the transferor hereunder (unless such
transfer is a pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage or except as
otherwise provided herein). Unless admitted as a Limited Partner pursuant
to, and in accordance with, the terms hereof, no transferee, whether by a
voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have rights
hereunder, other than (i) to receive such portion of the distributions made
by the Partnership as are allocable to the Percentage Interest transferred
and (ii) under Article XII hereof.
(c) In addition to any other restrictions on transfer provided
herein, no Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner shall be transferable
unless the General Partner has determined by written notification (a
"Transfer Determination") to the transferring Limited Partner, which
-----------------------
Transfer Determination shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be
deemed given if not refused within ten Business Days of the notice to the
Partnership of a proposed
-43-
<PAGE>
transfer, provided that the proposed transferor and transferee have
promptly responded in writing to the reasonable requests, if any, of the
General Partner for additional information sufficient for the General
Partner to determine the matters set forth in this Section 9.2(c), that
either (i) such transfer will not cause (x) any lender to the Partnership
to hold in excess of ten (10) percent of the aggregate Partnership
Interests or any other percentage of the Partnership Interest that would,
pursuant to the Regulations under Section 752 of the Code or any successor
provision, cause a loan by such lender to constitute Partner Nonrecourse
Debt, [(y) a transfer of a Partnership Interest the value of which would
have been less than $20,000 when issued,] or (z) a prohibited transaction
(as defined in section 4975(c) of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) to
occur, or the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit
plan subject to Title 1 of ERISA, a "party in interest" (as defined in
Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined in Section
4975(e)(2) of the Code), or the Partnership to be deemed to hold "plan
assets" (as defined in regulations promulgated by the Department of Labor)
of any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, or (ii) the
General Partner has determined to waive one or more of such requirements as
of the date of this Agreement, and may, after the date of this Agreement,
waive one or more of such requirements in its reasonable discretion after
having determined that the transfer will not materially adversely affect
the Partnership, its assets or any Partner, or constitute a violation of
law.
(d) Any transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to
this Section 9.2 shall, upon the written request of such transferee and the
transferring Limited Partner and the consent of the General Partner,
including a majority of the Special Committee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, be admitted as a Limited Partner under
this Article IX, and the transferring Limited Partner shall, if all of its
Partnership Interests have been Transferred, withdraw from the Partnership.
The Partnership shall not be required in any way to determine the validity
of any written instrument referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence, and shall be authorized to rely upon any such written instrument
signed by the necessary parties.
(e) Any permitted transferee under Section 9.2 who is not admitted as
a substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article IX
(including, without limitation, Sections 9.2(b) and 9.2(d)) shall be
considered an assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An assignee shall
be deemed to have had assigned to it, and shall be entitled to receive,
distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses,
and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the
Partnership
-44-
<PAGE>
and rights attributable to the Partnership Interests assigned to such
transferee, and shall have the rights of the transferor under Article XII
hereof, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Interests for
any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote
such Partnership Interests in any matter presented to the Limited Partners
for a vote or consent. In the event any such transferee desires to make a
further assignment of any such Partnership Interests, such transferee shall
be subject to all the provisions of this Article IX to the same extent and
in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of
Partnership Interests.
(f) The Limited Partners acknowledge that the Partnership Interests
have not been registered under any federal or state securities laws and, as
a result thereof, they may not be sold or otherwise transferred, except in
compliance with such laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, no Partnership Interest may be sold or
otherwise transferred unless such transfer is exempt from registration
under any applicable securities laws or such transfer is registered under
such laws, it being acknowledged that the Partnership has no obligation to
take any action which would cause any such Partnership Interests to be
registered.
(g) Any transferee of ownership of the Partnership Interests
originally held by the Initial Limited Partner shall have the right to
purchase from the transferor of such Partnership Interests a pro rata
portion of the Class B Stock held by such transferor at a purchase price
equal to its par value.
Section 9.3. Certain Additional Restrictions on Transfer. In addition
-------------------------------------------
to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any
Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner be made (i) to any person or
Entity that lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership
Interest; (ii) if such Transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for
federal income tax purposes, except with the Consent of the Limited Partners,
subject to the provisions of Section 9.7; (iii) if such Transfer would, in the
opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause the Partnership to cease to be
classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes; (iv) if such
Transfer is effectuated through an "established securities market" or a
"secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)" within the meaning of
Section 7704(b) of the Code; (v) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to
become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title 1 of ERISA, a
"party-in-interest" (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified
person" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code); (vi) in violation of the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; or (vii) if such transfer
would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership,
-45-
<PAGE>
cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any
employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section
2510.3-101.
Section 9.4. Effective Dates of Transfers.
----------------------------
(a) Transfers pursuant to this Article IX may be made on any day, but
for purposes of this Agreement, the effective date of any such Transfer
shall be (i) the first day of the month in which such Transfer occurred if
such Transfer occurred on or prior to the fifteenth calendar day of a
month, or (ii) the first day of the month immediately following the month
in which such transfer occurred, if such Transfer occurred after the
fifteenth calendar day of a month, or such other date determined by the
General Partner pursuant to such convention as may be administratively
feasible and consistent with applicable law.
(b) If any Partnership Interest is Transferred (other than the
granting of a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest Lien) in compliance
with the provisions of this Article IX, on any day other than the first day
of a calendar year, then Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all
other items attributable to such Partnership Interest for such year shall
be allocated to the transferor Partner, or the redeemed or selling
Partners, as the case may be, and, in the case of a Transfer other than a
redemption or the granting of a Permitted Limited Partnership Interest
Lien, to the transferee Partner, by taking into account their varying
interests during such year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code,
using the interim closing of the books method. Solely for purposes of
making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which
the effective date of a Transfer (other than the granting of a Lien) occurs
shall be allocated to the transferor or transferee Partner as provided in
Section 9.4(a), and for purposes of Section 9.4(a), the transferee shall be
the owner of the Partnership Interest at the close of business on any day
on which a Transfer takes place.
Section 9.5. Transfer.
--------
(a) The term "Transfer," when used in this Article IX with respect to
a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which
a Partner purports to assign its Partnership Interest or any portion
thereof to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge,
encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange, granting of a Lien or any
other disposition by law or otherwise; provided, however, that the term
-------- -------
"Transfer", when used in this Article IX (except when such term is used in
---------
Section 9.4) does not include any acquisition of Partnership
-46-
<PAGE>
Interests from a Limited Partner by the General Partner or the Partnership
pursuant to Article XII.
(b) The Limited Partner has consented, in Section 4.1, to certain
issuances of Partnership Interests, and the foregoing provisions of this
Article IX, to the extent that they would, but for such Section or this
subsection (b), be applicable to such Transfers, are hereby deemed
satisfied or waived.
(c) The General Partner is hereby authorized on behalf of each of the
Partners to amend this Agreement (including the schedules hereto) to
reflect the admission of any transferee of a Partnership Interest as a
substituted Limited Partner in accordance with the provisions of this
Article IX.
(d) No Partnership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in
part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Article IX. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest
not made in accordance with this Article IX shall be null and void.
Section 9.6. Redemption of Partnership Interest. The Partnership
----------------------------------
shall not redeem, repurchase, or otherwise acquire Partnership Interests from
the Partners, except (i) for redemptions of Partnership Interests pro rata based
on the Partners' Percentage Interests, (ii) for redemptions of Partnership
Interests as provided in Article XV, and (iii) with the Consent of the Limited
Partners.
Section 9.7. Certain Consent Rights. Notwithstanding any other
----------------------
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) the General Partner shall have
the right to enter into, effect, and/or consummate, and, (B) the Limited
Partners, as such, shall not have the right to approve, consent, or vote with
respect to: (x) any merger, consolidation, combination, sale of all or
substantially all of the assets or stock of the General Partner, the sale of all
of the General Partner's interest in the Partnership, or any similar
transaction, which, in the case of this clause (x), if and only to the extent
required by applicable law, has been approved by the stockholders of the General
Partner, or (y) any merger, consolidation, combination, sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, or any similar transaction,
which in the case of this clause (y) has been approved by the stockholders of
the General Partner; provided, however, that if any transaction is determined to
be described in both clauses (x) and (y) immediately above, the imposition of
any requirement that the stockholders of the General Partnership approve such
transaction shall be governed solely by clause (x) and not by clause (y).

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS
----------------------------------------------
Section 10.1. No Participation in Management. No Limited Partner, in
------------------------------
its capacity as such, shall take part in the management of the Partnership's
business, transact any business in the Partnership's name or have the power to
sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership. Any rights expressly
granted to the Limited Partners in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be
rights relating to the management of the Partnership's business.
Section 10.2. Bankruptcy of a Limited Partner. The Bankruptcy of any
-------------------------------
Limited Partner shall not cause a dissolution of the Partnership, but the rights
of such Limited Partner to share in the Net Profits or Net Losses of the
Partnership and to receive distributions of Partnership funds shall, on the
happening of such event, devolve on its successors or assigns, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue as a
limited partnership. In no event, however, shall such assignee(s) become a
substituted Limited Partner except in accordance with Article IX hereof.
Section 10.3. No Withdrawal. No Limited Partner may withdraw from
-------------
the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner, other
than as provided in Article IX of this Agreement, and provided that the
foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3 shall not apply to a withdrawal from

General Partner.
Section 10.4. Conflicts. The Partners recognize that the Limited
---------
Partners and their Affiliates have or may have other business interests,

the business of the Partnership, and that such Persons are entitled to carry on
such other business interests, activities and investments. Without limiting the

Partners and their Affiliates shall be under no obligation to consider the
separate interests of the Partnership and shall have no fiduciary obligations to
the Partnership and shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses
sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by the other Partners in
connection with such actions. The Limited Partners and their Affiliates may
engage in or possess an interest in any other business or venture of any kind,

with which they are affiliated or associated, and such persons may engage in any
activities, whether or not competitive with the Partnership, without any
obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Partnership or to any
Partner. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any
-48-

right, by virtue of this Agreement, in or to such activities, or the income or
profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if
competitive with the business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful
or improper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the provisions of this Section
10.4 shall not negate or impair any other agreement between one or more of the
Limited Partners and the General Partner, the Partnership, or any of their
respective Subsidiaries, and (ii) in conducting an Outside Business Activity, a
Limited Partner will to the best of its ability and consistent with its
fiduciary duty to such Outside Business Activity, conduct such Outside Business
Activity in a commercially reasonable manner so that on an annual overall basis
the Partnership is not discriminated against.

Partnership.
(ii) Quarterly Reports. The General Partner shall, as soon as
-----------------
available and, in any event, within 45 days after the end of each of
the first three fiscal quarters of the Partnership's fiscal year,
furnish to each Partner the internally prepared unaudited combined
balance sheet of the Partnership and its combined Subsidiaries as of
the end of such quarter and the combined statements of profit and
loss, partners' capital and cash flow for such quarter and for the
portion of the fiscal year then ending (all in reasonable detail),
accompanied by a certificate of the General Partner or of the chief
financial officer of the Partnership to the effect that, except for
the lack of required footnotes, such balance sheets and statements
have been properly prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present
the financial condition of the Partnership and its combined
Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and the results of their
operations for the period covered thereby, subject only to normal
year-end audit adjustments. In lieu of the foregoing, the General
Partner may furnish to each Partner a copy of the Partnership's
quarterly report on Form 10-Q, if the Partnership is then obligated to
file such report with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
-49-
<PAGE>
(b) In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or by the
Act, each Limited Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably
related to such Limited Partner's interest as a limited partner in the

Permitted Limited Partnership Interest Lien on its Partnership Interests
being so related), upon written demand with a statement of the purpose of
such demand:
(i) to obtain a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly
reports and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by the

Section 10.6. Limited Partner Representative. The Initial Limited
------------------------------
Partner is hereby appointed as the Limited Partner Representative. A Majority-
in-Interest of the Limited Partners shall have the right, at any time, within
their sole discretion, to replace the Limited Partner Representative, or to
appoint a temporary substitute to act for a Limited Partner Representative
unable to act. Any appointment of a Limited Partner Representative made

(and shall be fully protected in so doing) on the actions
-50-

Section 10.7. Power of Attorney.
-----------------
(a) Each Limited Partner constitutes and appoints the General

to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices
(i) all certificates, documents and other instruments (including, without
limitation, this Agreement and the Certificate and all amendments or
restatements thereof) that the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee
deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify or continue the existence
or qualification of the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a
partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the
State of Delaware and in all other jurisdictions in which the Partnership
may conduct business or own property; (ii) all instruments that the General
Partner deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any amendment, change,
modification or restatement of this Agreement in accordance with its terms;

Partner deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the dissolution and
liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,

instruments relating to the admission, withdrawal, removal or substitution
of any Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Capital
Contribution of any Partner.

coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact that each of the
Partners will be relying upon the power of the General Partner to act as
contemplated by this Agreement in any filing or other action by it on
behalf of the Partnership, and it shall survive the death or incompetency
of a Limited Partner to the effect and extent permitted by law, subsequent
incapacity of any Limited Partner and the transfer of all or any portion of
such Limited Partner's Partnership Interests and shall extend to such
Limited Partner's heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives.

INDEMNIFICATION; EXCULPATION
----------------------------
Section 57. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall and
does hereby indemnify an Indemnitee from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and
other amounts (collectively "Damages") arising from any and all claims,
demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership as set
forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is
threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is
established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material
to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed with fraud,
gross negligence, willful misconduct or in breach of the General Partner's
fiduciary duties to the Limited Partners; (ii) the Indemnitee actually
received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or
(iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable
cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The termination of
any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not create a
presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of
conduct set forth in this Section 11.1(a). Any indemnification pursuant to
this Section 11.1 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership
and no Partner shall have any personal liability therefor.
(b) Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee may be paid or
reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the
proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by
the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership, as authorized in
this Section 11.1, has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on
behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it shall
ultimately be determined that such standard of conduct has not been met.
(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 11.1 shall be in
addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under
any agreement, as a matter
-52-
<PAGE>
of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased
to serve in such capacity.
(d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of
the Indemnitees, against any liability that may be asserted against or
expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the
Partnership's activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have
the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the
provisions of this Agreement.
(e) For purposes of this Section 11.1, the Partnership shall be
deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee
benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the
Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it
to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes
assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant
to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section
11.1; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an
employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose
reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not
opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.
(f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in
part under this Section 11.1 solely because the Indemnitee had an interest
in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies.
(g) The provisions of this Section 11.1 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns personal representatives and
administrators, and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the
benefit of any other Persons.
Section 11.2. Indemnification Procedures.
--------------------------
(a) If a claim for indemnification is asserted against the
Partnership under Article XI, the Partnership shall have the right, at its
own expense, (i) subject to the Partnership's obligations to pay all
amounts under Section 11.1(a) to participate in the defense of any Action
which resulted in the claim for indemnification or (ii) to assume at any
time the defense of any Action which resulted in the claim for
indemnification. Such assumption of the defense by the Partnership shall
be an admission that the Action is a proper subject of indemnification
pursuant to this Article XI. The Indemnitee at any time may elect to
participate in (but not conduct or control) such defense at its expense,
-53-
<PAGE>
and the Partnership shall not be responsible for the Indemnitee's costs of
participation (including attorneys, accountants, and in-house counsel
fees). In either event, the parties shall cooperate in the defense of such
Action. The Partnership in the defense of any Action shall not, except
with the consent of the Indemnitee claiming indemnification under Article
XI, cause to be entered any judgment or enter into any settlement which
provides for the release of the Partnership or any other Partner but does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release equivalent to that provided to
the Partnership or any other Partner.
(b) The Indemnitee claiming indemnification under Article XI may, at
any time upon written notice to the Partnership, elect to conduct or
control its own defense in such Action (as opposed to merely participating
in the defense with counsel for the Partnership), but in such event,
provided that the Partnership has theretofore undertaken the defense of the
Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.2(a) and subject to Section 11.2(c), such
Indemnitee shall cease to have the indemnification rights under Article XI,
and the Partnership shall no longer be obligated to continue the defense of
the Limited Partner, with respect to such Action.
(c) If the Partnership has assumed the defense of any Action under
clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 11.2(a), and if at any time
there exists a conflict of interest in defending both the Partnership and
the Indemnitee, as determined in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the
Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall so notify the Partnership and the
Indemnitee may, upon written notice to the Partnership delivered promptly
thereafter, elect to defend itself in such Action with counsel selected by
the Indemnitee, but reasonably acceptable to the Partnership, at the
expense of the Partnership. Following the assumption of defense by an
Indemnitee under this Section 11.2(c), an Indemnitee may not enter into any
settlement without the prior written consent of the Partnership, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 11.3. Exculpation. No officer, employee or agent shall have
-----------
any liability to the Partnership or any Partner for monetary damages for any
action taken, or any failure to take any action, in such capacity, except
liability for (a) any improper financial benefit received by such Person; (b) an
intentional infliction of harm on the Partnership or any Partner; (c) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct; and (d) any
knowing violation of law.
Section 11.4. No Liability of Directors and Others. Notwithstanding
------------------------------------
anything to the contrary contained herein, no
-54-
<PAGE>
recourse shall be had by the Partnership or any Partner against any director,
shareholder, officer, employee, agent or attorney of the General Partner for any
act or omission of the General Partner or any obligation or liability of the
General Partner under this Agreement, and none of the foregoing shall have any
personal liability for or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that
--------
the foregoing shall not relieve any officer or director of the General Partner
of any liability in his capacity as such.

inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement; and
(iv) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines
contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a
federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law.
The General Partner will provide notice to the Limited Partners
promptly after any action under this Section 13.1(b) is taken.
(c) Notwithstanding Sections 13.1(a) and (b) hereof, this Agreement

(d) Notwithstanding Section 13.1(a) hereof, no amendment of Section
7.4 shall be effective unless

<PAGE>
appropriate corresponding modifications are made to Article XII and the
Registration Rights Agreement to preserve the financial terms of the
Limited Partners' rights thereunder.
(e) Any amendment, modification or repeal of Section 7.8 or Article
XI or any provision thereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any
way affect the rights to indemnification and limitations on the General
Partner's liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners as in
effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with
respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole
or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of
when such claims may arise or be asserted.
Section 13.2. Meetings of the Partners; Notices to Partners.
---------------------------------------------
(a) Meetings of the Partners may be called by the General Partner or
by any Limited Partner to act on any matter specified herein or in the Act
to be voted on or consented to by the Partners. The call shall state the
nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall
be given to all Partners not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the
date of such meeting. Partners may vote in person or by proxy at such
meeting. Whenever the vote or Consent of the Limited Partners is permitted
or required under this Agreement, such vote or Consent may be given at a
meeting of Partners or may be given in accordance with the procedure
prescribed in Section 13.2(b) hereof. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, the consent of holders of a majority of the
Partnership Interests shall control.
(b) Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the
Partners may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth
the action so taken is (i) signed by Partners holding a majority of the
Partnership Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage as is
expressly required by this Agreement) and (ii) in the case of any matter
that would otherwise require the approval of a majority of the Special
Committee, such consent is approved by a majority of the Special Committee.
Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall
have the same force and effect as a vote of a majority of the Partnership
Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage as is expressly
required by this Agreement). Such consent shall be filed with the General
Partner and copies thereof delivered to all Partners. An action so taken
shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date

for him by proxy on all matters in which a

signed by the Limited Partner or his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be
valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless
otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the
pleasure of the Limited Partner executing it. No such proxy and no such
revocation shall be effective unless a copy thereof has been delivered to
the General Partner.
(d) Whenever the Consent of the Limited Partners is required
hereunder, the General Partner shall provide a notice to each Partner who

CERTIFICATE OF INTEREST

Section 14.1. Form of Certificate of Interest. The interest of each
-------------------------------
Partner in the Partnership shall be evidenced by a Certificate of Interest (each
a "Certificate of Interest"). A certificate transfer ledger (the "Certificate
Transfer Ledger") recording the issue and transfer of Certificates of Interest
in the Partnership shall be maintained at the principal office of the
Partnership. Each such Certificate of Interest shall be serially numbered and
shall be issued by the General Partner to the lawful holder of an interest in
the Partnership, upon payment of the full amount of the Capital Contributions
then due with respect to the Partnership Interest represented by such
Certificate of Interest. All Certificates of Interest shall be executed in the
name of the Partnership by the General Partner. Each Certificate of Interest
shall state on its face the name of the registered holder thereof and the then
interest in the Partnership held by the holder thereof; and shall bear, on both
sides thereof, a statement of the restrictions imposed by Section 105 of the
Casino Control Act. Effective on the date hereof, the General Partner and the
Initial Limited Partner shall exchange their respective Certificates of Interest
(which shall be canceled) for new Certificates of Interest reflective of their
respective interests in the Partnership as set forth on Schedule I hereto.
Section 14.2. Transfers of Certificates of Interest. Certificates of
-------------------------------------
Interest in the Partnership may be transferred by the lawful holders thereof
only in connection with the pledge or transfer of all or part of the interest of
such holder in the Partnership, and only in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement. All such transfers shall be effected by duly executed
-58-
<PAGE>
and acknowledged instruments of assignment, each of which shall be duly recorded
on the Certificate Transfer Ledger. No effect shall be given to any purported
assignment of a Certificate of Interest, or transfer of the interest in the
Partnership evidenced thereby, unless such assignment and transfer shall be in
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and any attempted
assignment or transfer in contravention hereof shall be ineffectual.
Section 14.3. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates of
----------------------------------------------------
Interest. In the event that a Certificate of Interest shall be lost, stolen,
--------
destroyed or mutilated, the Partnership may cause a replacement Certificate of
Interest to be issued upon such terms and conditions as shall be fixed by the
General Partner, including, without limitation, provision for indemnity and the
posting of a bond or other adequate security as security therefor. No
replacement Certificate of Interest shall be issued to any person unless such
person has surrendered the Certificate of Interest to be replaced, or has
complied with the terms of this Section 14.3.
Section 14.4. Inspection of Certificate Transfer Ledger. The
-----------------------------------------
Certificate Transfer Ledger containing the names and addresses of all Partners
and the interest of each Partner in the Partnership shall be open to the
inspection of the Partners at the principal office of the Partnership during
usual business hours upon request of any Partner. Such Certificate Transfer

pursuant to this Section 15.3 as follows:
-60-

Securities necessary to effect the redemption shall have been deposited in
trust for the benefit of such record holders and subject to immediate
withdrawal by them upon surrender of the Certificates of Interests for
their Partnership Interests to be redeemed;
(e) from and after the Redemption Date or such earlier date as
mandated by pertinent state or federal law, any and all rights of whatever
nature, which may be held by the Beneficial Owners of Partnership Interests
selected for redemption (including without limitation any rights to vote or
