abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

2.4.2. Failure to Notify.
If the Closing shall not actually occur on any date on which the Closing

and Funding and TCHI shall have failed to notify Ropes & Xxxx prior to 12:00
p.m., New York time, on such Scheduled Closing Date that such Closing has been
postponed, Funding or TCHI, as the case may be, shall pay to each Fund by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by such
Fund (as compensation for its loss of funds and administrative costs) an amount
equal to interest on the aggregate purchase price for the Senior Notes to have
been purchased by such Fund on such Scheduled Closing Date, at the effective
rate of interest equal to 11 1/4% per annum, less the overnight Federal funds
rate, for each day from and including such Scheduled Closing Date to and
including the earlier of the date on which such Closing actually occurs or the

one day's interest at such specified rate.

Whether or not the Senior Notes are sold, Funding, TCHI and the

counsel) in connection with any registration or qualification of the Senior
Notes for offer and sale hereunder under the securities or "blue sky" laws of
any jurisdiction requiring such registration or qualification or in connection

2.6. Indemnification.
2.6.1. Scope of Indemnification.
In addition to all other sums due hereunder or provided for in this
Agreement or any of the other Documents and any and all obligations of TCHI,
Funding and the Partnership to indemnify the Funds hereunder or under any of the
other Documents, TCHI, Funding and the Partnership, jointly and severally,
shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless each Fund, its
Affiliates, and the employees, officers, directors, trustees, and agents of each
Fund and its Affiliates, including attorneys and consultants (individually, an
"Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), to the fullest
extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of
preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses,
-12-
including expenses of investigation (collectively, "Losses"), incurred by any
Indemnified Party, as a consequence of any claim by or obligation to a third
party which arises out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or any other
document or instrument executed herewith or pursuant hereto or thereto), whether
or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or such other Documents
are consummated and whether or not any Indemnified Party is a formal party to
any Proceeding; provided, however, that neither TCHI, Funding nor the
Partnership shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for any Losses (i)
resulting from a violation by such Indemnified Party of a legal restriction on
its investment powers, or (ii) to the extent that it shall be finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to
appeal or review) that such Losses arose primarily out of the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Subject to the reimbursement
obligation set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.6.2 hereof, each of TCHI,
Funding and the Partnership agrees promptly to reimburse any Indemnified Party
for all such Losses as they are incurred and disclosed to TCHI, Funding and the
Partnership in writing by such Indemnified Party. The obligations of each of
TCHI, Funding and the Partnership to each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be
separate obligations, and the liability of each of TCHI, Funding and the
Partnership to any Indemnified Party hereunder shall not be extinguished solely
because any other Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder.
2.6.2. Indemnification Procedures.
If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from TCHI, Funding or the
Partnership hereunder, such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify TCHI or
Funding, as the case may be, and the Partnership in writing, and either TCHI or
Funding, as the case may be, or the Partnership, or both, shall assume the
defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that the failure of
any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve either TCHI, Funding
or the Partnership of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except to the
extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
(which determination is not subject to appeal or review) that such failure shall
have materially prejudiced TCHI, Funding or the Partnership, as indemnitor.
Any such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such action, claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Indemnified Party unless: (1) TCHI, Funding or the Partnership has agreed
to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) TCHI, Funding or the Partnership has
failed promptly to assume the defense of such action, claim or proceeding and to
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such
action, claim or proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such action, claim
or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified
Party and TCHI, Funding or the Partnership,
-13-
and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of
interest may exist if the same counsel represents such Indemnified Party and
TCHI, Funding or the Partnership (and in the case of any of (1), (2) or (3), if
such Indemnified Party notifies TCHI, Funding and the Partnership in writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of TCHI or Funding, as
applicable, and the Partnership, TCHI, Funding and the Partnership shall not
have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of TCHI or Funding, as
applicable, and the Partnership); provided, however, that, so long as no
conflict of interest exists between any Indemnified Party and any other
Indemnified Party, TCHI or Funding, as applicable, and the Partnership shall not
be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate lead counsel
(and one local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties. TCHI or Funding, as
applicable, and the Partnership shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in, and to participate in the defense of, any action or proceeding with respect
to which it has no right to assume the defense, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of TCHI or Funding, as applicable, and the
Partnership. No Indemnified Party will be subject to any liability for any
settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably
withheld). Neither TCHI, Funding nor the Partnership shall consent to the entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the
Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such action, claim or
proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification
hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto). All fees
and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to
the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such
action or proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 2.6) shall
be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, upon written notice thereof to
TCHI or Funding, as applicable, or the Partnership; provided, that TCHI, Funding
or the Partnership may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse
all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal
or review) that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder.
2.7. Contribution.
2.7.1. Indemnification Provisions Unenforceable.
If a claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 2.6
hereof is found unenforceable in a final judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal or review) even though the express
provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then TCHI, Funding
and the Partnership, jointly and severally, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of TCHI, Funding or the Partnership,
on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection
with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted
-14-
in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of TCHI, Funding or the Partnership, on the one hand, and any
Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact, has been taken by, or relates to information supplied by, TCHI,
Funding or the Partnership, on the one hand, or such Indemnified Party, on the
other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed
to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in
connection with any proceeding.
2.7.2. No Pro Rata Allocation.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 2.7 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation that does not account for the equitable
considerations referred to in Section 2.7.1 hereof. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 2.7, no Indemnified Party shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the price at which the
Senior Notes sold by such Indemnified Party and distributed to the public
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Indemnified Party has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such statement or omission. No Person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
2.7.3. Survival of Obligations.
The obligations of TCHI, Funding and the Partnership under Section 2.6 and
this Section 2.7 shall survive the payment or prepayment of the Senior Notes, at
maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, any transfer of the Senior Notes by the
Funds, and any termination of this Agreement or the other Documents.
2.8. Further Actions.
During the period from the date hereof to the Closing Date, TCHI, Funding
and the Partnership shall take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate
to cause its representations and warranties contained in Section 5 hereof to be
true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as if made on and as
of such date.

required by law or by court or administrative order, provided that prior to

bond (but such holder may be required to enter into an indemnity agreement, at

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each of TCHI, Funding and the Partnership jointly and severally represents
and warrants to each of the Funds as follows:
5.1. Organization, Standing and Qualification.
5.1.1. Organization; Standing.
Funding is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of the State of New Jersey. Funding has all requisite power and authority
to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.
TCHI is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws
of the State of New Jersey. TCHI has all requisite power and authority to carry
on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. TCHI is
engaged in no other business other than serving as the general partner of the
Partnership, and its only asset (other than the Senior Partnership Upstream Note
and the Security Documentation executed in connection therewith) is its
partnership interest in the Partnership. Except as directly related to serving
as the general partner of the Partnership and as contemplated by this Agreement,
the Security Documentation and the Documents, TCHI has no liabilities.
The Partnership is a limited partnership existing under the laws of the
State of New Jersey. The Partnership has all requisite power and authority to
own or lease, and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted; and is duly qualified
or licensed to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which
it owns or leases property or in which the conduct of its business requires it
so to qualify or be licensed, except where the failure so to qualify would not,
singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.1.2. Authority.
Each of TCHI, Funding and the Partnership has all requisite power and
authority to enter into and perform all of its respective obligations under this
Agreement and the other Documents to which it is a party, to issue, sell, and
deliver the Senior Notes, and to carry out the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Document to which it is a party.
-23-
5.2. Authorization of Agreement and Other Documents.
Each of TCHI, Funding and the Partnership has taken all action necessary
to authorize it to enter into and perform its obligations under each of this
Agreement and the other Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the
issuance and sale of the Senior Notes). This Agreement is, and, as of the
Closing Date and each of the Documents to which TCHI, Funding or the Partnership
is a party will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of TCHI, Funding or
the Partnership, as the case may be, enforceable against TCHI, Funding or the
Partnership, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws now or hereafter
affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally and (ii) general principles
of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and (iii) the New Jersey Casino Control Act and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.
5.3. No Violation.
5.3.1. Existing Violations.
Neither TCHI, Funding nor the Partnership is (i) in violation of its
respective Charter Documents or (ii) in default in the performance of any
obligation, agreement or condition contained in any bond, debenture, note or any
other evidence of indebtedness or in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or
any other agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party other than
such defaults that could not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There exists no condition that, with the
passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a violation of such Charter
Documents or a default under any such document or instrument or result in the
imposition of any penalty or the acceleration of any indebtedness or other
obligation other than such defaults that would not, singly or in the aggregate,
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.3.2. Execution of Agreement.
Neither the execution or delivery by TCHI, Funding or the Partnership of
this Agreement or the other Documents to which it is a party, the issuance, sale
or delivery of the Senior Notes, the performance by TCHI, Funding or the
Partnership of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby will conflict with, violate, constitute a breach of or a default (with
the passage of time or otherwise) under, require the consent of any Person
(other than consents already obtained) under, result in the imposition of any
penalty, or result in the imposition of a Lien (other than pursuant to the
Security Documentation and Liens permitted under the Funding Note Indenture and
the TCHI Note Indenture) on any properties of TCHI, Funding or the Partnership
or an acceleration of indebtedness or other obligation pursuant to,
-24-
(i) the Charter Documents of TCHI, Funding or the Partnership, (ii) any bond,
debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which TCHI,
Funding or the Partnership is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of
its property or assets is subject, or (iii) any Applicable Law, except in any
case where such violation, default, breach or conflict, or the absence of such
consent or the creation of such Lien, would not, singly or in the aggregate,
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.4. No Default.
Were the Funding Note Indenture, the TCHI Note Indenture, the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Security Documentation in effect as of the date hereof,
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including
application of proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes, there would be no
Default or Event of Default thereunder or breach thereof.
5.5. Full Disclosure.
The Most Recent 10-K, including the financial statements included therein,
complies with all applicable provisions of the Exchange Act in all material
respects and contains all statements required to be stated therein in accordance
with the Exchange Act. None of the Most Recent 10-K, this Agreement or any of
the other Documents contained, as of its respective date, or would now contain
were the information contained therein made available to you as of the date of
this Agreement, any untrue statement of a material fact or as of such date
omitted, or now omits, to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein, when taken as a whole in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
5.6. ERISA.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Documents and the
sale of the Senior Notes to be purchased by the Funds do not involve any
"prohibited transaction" by TCHI, Funding or the Partnership. Neither TCHI,
Funding nor the Partnership is a "party in interest" or a "disqualified person"
with respect to a qualified trust except as to those employee benefit plans set
forth on Schedule 2.3.3. No condition exists or event or transaction has
occurred in connection with any "employee benefit plan" maintained or
contributed to by TCHI, Funding or the Partnership or any of their ERISA
Affiliates (any plan being herein referred to as the "Pension Plan") that could
result in TCHI, Funding the Partnership or any such ERISA Affiliate incurring
any liability, fine or penalty which would, singly or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect. With respect to any Pension Plan, other than a
Multiemployer Plan, that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, (a) the fair market
value of the assets of such Pension Plan equals or exceeds (and will equal or
exceed immediately subsequent to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby) the present value of the liabilities of such Pension Plan
(as determined in accordance with the actuarial methods and assumptions
-25-
set forth in the latest actuarial report for such Pension Plan), except where
the failure so to equal or exceed would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect and (b) there exists (and will exist immediately
subsequent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) no
accumulated funding deficiency.
The representation of TCHI, Funding and the Partnership in the first
sentence of the preceding paragraph is made in reliance upon, and is subject to,
the accuracy of each Fund's representations in section 2.3.3 hereof.
5.7. Compliance with Laws.
Neither TCHI, Funding nor the Partnership is in violation of any
Applicable Law, except such violations as may not, singly or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of TCHI, Funding and the Partnership has
obtained and holds all licenses, permits, franchises and other governmental
authorizations necessary to the ownership or operation of its properties or the
conduct of its business as currently conducted, except such failures as would
not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.8. Consents.
No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or
qualification (including, without limitation, pursuant to the New Jersey Casino
Control Act) with, any Person or any governmental or regulatory authority or
body (including, without limitation, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission,
or any successor entity) is required in connection with or as a condition to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Documents or the
consummation of transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without
limitation, the offer, issuance, sale or delivery of the Senior Notes at the
Closing), except for such (i) consents, approvals, authorizations, filings,
registrations or qualifications as have been made or obtained on or before the
Closing Date (and copies of which will be delivered to the Funds upon their
request), or are not required to be made or obtained prior to the Closing Date
and (ii) the filing of mortgages, financing statements and any other security
documents pursuant to the Security Documentation, and except to the extent that
the failure to obtain any such consents, approvals, authorizations or
qualifications or to make any such filings or registrations could not, singly or
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.9. No Violation of Regulations of Board of Governors of Federal Reserve
System.
None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes)
shall violate or result in a violation by TCHI, Funding or the Partnership of
Section 7 of the Exchange Act including, without limitation, Regulations G, T, U
and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. No part of the
proceeds of the sale of the Senior Notes will be used directly or
-26-
indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin securities
within the meaning of Regulation G.
5.10. Private Offering.
5.10.1. Sale Exempt.
Assuming the correctness of the representations made by the Funds in
Section 2.3 hereof, the sale of the Senior Notes hereunder is exempt from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and it
is not necessary in connection with the sale of the Senior Notes to the Funds in
accordance herewith to qualify the Funding Note Indenture or the TCHI Note
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
5.10.2. No General Solicitation.
In the case of each offer or sale of the Senior Notes, no form of general
solicitation or general advertising was used by TCHI, Funding or the Partnership
or any of their officers, directors or employees including, but not limited to,
advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio, or
any seminar or meeting whose attendees had been invited by any general
solicitation or general advertising. No offers were made by TCHI, Funding or the
Partnership or any of their officers, directors or employees other than to
persons whom the offeror reasonably believed to be accredited investors or
sophisticated purchasers as those terms have been construed under Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act. The Funds are the sole purchasers of the Senior Notes. No
securities of the same class as any of the Senior Notes have been issued and
sold by the Company within the six-month period immediately prior to the date
hereof. Each of TCHI, Funding and the Partnership agrees that neither it nor
anyone acting on its behalf, will offer any Senior Notes so as to bring the
issuance and sale of any of the Senior Notes within the provisions of Section 5
of the Securities Act nor offer any similar securities for issuance or sale to,
or solicit any offer to acquire any of the same from, or otherwise approach or
negotiate with respect thereto with anyone if the sale of any of the Senior
Notes and any such securities could be integrated as a single offering for
purposes of the Securities Act.
5.11. Governmental Regulations.
Except for the required approval of the issuance and sale of the Senior
Notes by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, which approval has been
obtained, neither TCHI, Funding nor the Partnership is subject to regulation, or
will become subject to regulation upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Documents, under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any Federal or state statute or
regulation limiting its ability to incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed
money or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
-27-
5.12. Survival of Indemnification and Contribution and Representations and
Warranties.
All of the representations and warranties of TCHI, Funding and the
Partnership in this Agreement, the Most Recent 10-K and the other Documents and
in any other document, financial statement or other instrument or certificate
delivered to the Funds by or on behalf of TCHI, Funding or the Partnership in
connection with this Agreement and the Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby shall be deemed to constitute representations
and warranties hereunder and shall be true in all material respects at and as of
the Closing Date, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
All of the obligations to indemnify the Funds and contribute to the Funds'
losses contained in this Agreement and the other Documents and in any other
document, financial statement or other instrument or certificate delivered to
the Fund by or on behalf of TCHI, Funding or the Partnership in connection with
this Agreement and the Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and all of the representations and warranties of TCHI, Funding or the
Partnership shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
other Documents, any investigation by the Funds and the issuance of the Senior
Notes.
