Trump shall further be entitled to a refund (or a credit against the termination payment) of such portion of the Annual Payment paid attributable to the period from the termination of this Agreement to the next anniversary of the Commencement Date. 10.

(1) If the Easement Area or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Trump shall give immediate notice thereof to the NJSEA and the ACIA and this -76- <PAGE> Agreement shall continue in full force and effect except as hereinafter set forth. (2) Subject to subparagraph (3) hereinbelow, if the Easement Area is partially damaged or rendered partially unusable by fire or other casualty, the damage thereto shall be repaired by Trump with all reasonable expedition and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. (3) If the Easement Area is substantially damaged or rendered wholly unusable as reasonably determined by Trump, unless such damage is a result of the negligence or wanton or willful misconduct of Trump or its agents, then Trump may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the ACIA and NJSEA within ninety (90) days after such fire or casualty specifying a date for the expiration of this Agreement, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date specified in such notice the Term shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date set forth above for the expiration of this Agreement, and Trump shall forthwith quit, surrender and vacate the Property. Upon such termination, the NJSEA shall refund to Trump such portion of the Annual Payment paid, attributable to the period from the termination of this Agreement to the next anniversary of the Commencement Date, and Trump shall have the right to remove from the Property any equipment or trade fixtures installed by Trump (other than the glass partitions enclosing the loggia) but shall otherwise surrender the Property to the NJSEA "as is." Unless a termination notice is served as provided for herein, Trump shall make the repairs and restorations with all reasonable expedition and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. B. Convention Center. If the Convention Center or any part thereof including, but not limited to, the Emergency Egress Area, shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, the ACIA and the NJSEA shall give immediate notice thereof to Trump and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If the Convention Center is damaged in whole or in part by fire or other casualty, and such damage shall materially affect the use and -77- <PAGE> enjoyment of the Property, such portion of such damage as affects Trump's use and enjoyment of the Property shall be repaired by the ACIA and the NJSEA with all reasonable expedition and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, unless such repairs are prohibited by applicable governmental laws or regulations. 11. Insurance. A. Trump shall maintain with respect to the Easement Area, at its sole cost and expense throughout the Term, broad forms of extended coverage risk insurance and public liability, personal injury and property damage insurance, all of which policies shall name the ACIA and the NJSEA as additional insureds and shall be in amounts sufficient to insure the Easement Area and the use thereof, as determined by Trump. B. The ACIA and the NJSEA shall maintain with respect to the Convention Center, at their sole cost and expense throughout the Term, broad forms of extended coverage risk insurance and public liability, personal injury and property damage insurance, all of which policies shall name Trump as an additional insured and shall be in amounts sufficient to insure the Convention Center and its use, as determined by the ACIA and the NJSEA. C. Trump hereby releases the ACIA and the NJSEA from liability for damage or destruction to any of Trump's personal property or improvements, and the ACIA and the NJSEA each hereby release Trump from liability for damage or destruction to the Convention Center, provided, however, that such releases shall be in force and effect only in respect of damage or destruction covered by standard policies of fire insurance with extended coverage (as maintained by Trump, the ACIA and the NJSEA pursuant to this agreement), and such waivers shall be in effect solely to the extent of proceeds under any said policies. Trump, the ACIA and the NJSEA shall each cause any policies of insurance maintained by it with respect to the Easement Area and/or the Convention Center and the personal property contained therein or appurtenant thereto and with -78- <PAGE> respect to the improvements thereto, to contain a waiver by the insurers of any rights of subrogation to the other parties hereto. 12. Eminent Domain A. The NJSEA and the ACIA shall give prompt notice to Trump of any eminent domain proceedings with respect to the Convention Center or any part thereof. B. In the event that any public authority or agency holding the power of eminent domain under applicable law at any time during the Term condemns, or acquires title in lieu of condemnation to, all or substantially all of the Property, this Agreement shall terminate and expire as of the date upon which title shall vest in such authority. Upon such termination, the NJSEA shall refund to Trump such portion of the Annual Payment paid, attributable to the period from the termination of this Agreement to the next anniversary of the Commencement Date, and Trump shall have the right to remove from the Property any equipment or fixtures installed by Trump but shall otherwise surrender the Property to the NJSEA "as is." C. If there shall be a partial taking or condemnation of the Property as aforesaid, which shall not in Trump's reasonable opinion substantially prevent Trump's use and enjoyment of the Property, this Agreement shall thereafter continue as to the untaken part and Trump shall be entitled to a reduction in the Annual Payment in an amount which bears the same ratio to the Annual Payment payable immediately prior to such condemnation pursuant to this Agreement as the value of the untaken portion of the Property (appraised after the taking and repair of any damage to the Property pursuant to the terms hereof) bears to the value of the entire Property immediately before the taking. D. If there shall be a partial taking and this Agreement shall continue as to the remaining part of the Property, the NJSEA and the ACIA, at their own cost and expense -79- <PAGE> and as promptly as practicable, shall restore such remaining part as nearly as may be practicable to its former condition. E. The ACIA, the NJSEA and Trump shall jointly negotiate with the condemning authority with respect to any proposed condemnation award, and all damages and compensation paid for any taking under the power of eminent domain, whether for the whole or a part of the Convention Center shall be divided ratably between and among the ACIA, the NJSEA and Trump based upon the proportionate value of the property taken. 13. Right to Cure Defaults. A. Trump shall have the right, but not the obligation to cure any defaults by the ACIA or the NJSEA hereunder or under the Lease, or any other document or instrument superior to the rights created hereby, provided that Trump provides the NJSEA and the ACIA with thirty (30) days' notice of such default, unless thirty (30) days' notice is not practicable under the circumstances in which event reasonable prior notice shall be required. In the event Trump elects to cure any such default after such required notice, Trump shall have the right to offset the costs and expenses incurred by Trump in curing such defaults against the amount of any subsequent Annual Payment. B. In the event that the NJSEA or the ACIA shall deem Trump to be in default of any of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Trump's payment obligations pursuant to Paragraph 3, maintenance obligations pursuant to Paragraph 7, security obligations pursuant to Paragraph 8 and insurance obligations pursuant to Paragraph 11, the NJSEA or ACIA shall, prior to taking any action with respect to such asserted default, furnish written notice to Trump specifying in reasonable detail such asserted default, and providing Trump an opportunity of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to cure such default. In the event that within such thirty (30) day period Trump shall fail to cure such default, or shall fail to commence to cure any default not reasonably susceptible to cure within such thirty (30) day period, such default shall be deemed an "Event of Default" and -80- <PAGE> the NJSEA and ACIA shall be entitled to exercise their rights and remedies in respect of such Event of Default. 14. Non-Disturbance. The ACIA and the NJSEA covenant and agree that, so long as this Agreement is in full force and effect, Trump shall not be joined as a party defendant in any foreclosure action, eviction proceeding or other action or proceeding which may be instituted or taken by the ACIA or the NJSEA, nor shall Trump be evicted from the Property, or any of Trump's rights hereunder be affected in any way, by reason of any default under the Lease or any other agreement or any termination of the Lease or any other agreement. In the event any action or proceeding is instituted by the ACIA to enforce the Lease or any other agreement, upon notice from the ACIA, Trump shall pay all Annual Payments which are due or shall become due to the ACIA and all obligations of the NJSEA under this Agreement shall be deemed obligations of the ACIA. 15. ISRA Compliance. Upon termination of this Agreement, Trump shall comply with any applicable provisions of the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act ("ISRA"), or any successor legislation thereto, or shall obtain from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy a letter of non- applicability with respect to ISRA. Upon the request of the NJSEA, Trump shall promptly execute and deliver such certificates or similar documents as reasonably required to confirm Trump's ongoing compliance with ISRA. 16. Estoppel Certificates. The NJSEA, the ACIA and Trump shall, without charge, from time to time at reasonable times, within ten (10) business days after request by any party hereto or any party who holds a mortgage or security interest upon the Convention Center or any part thereof, or Trump's interest in the Property, certify in writing that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there shall have been modifications, stating the modifications), the date to which Annual Payments have been paid, the expiration date of the Term, and whether, to the best knowledge of the person executing such certificate on behalf of the NJSEA, the ACIA or Trump, as the case may be, any Event of Default has occurred. If so, the -81- <PAGE> notice shall specify such Event of Default to the extent of the knowledge of the person executing the certificate. 17. Rights of Mortgagees. A. The NJSEA and the ACIA agree to accept performance by any holder of a mortgage or other security interest with respect to Trump's interest in the Property ("Mortgagee") of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Trump contained herein with the same effect as though performed by Trump. No Mortgagee shall be personally liable upon the covenants, agreements or obligations of Trump contained in this Agreement, unless and until such Mortgagee expressly assumes such obligations or, without such express assumption, acquires Trump's interest by foreclosure, or by assignment or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure. B. If the NJSEA seeks to terminate this Agreement by reason of an Event of Default, the NJSEA shall first provide each Mortgagee of which it is aware, with notice of such termination, together with a statement of all sums which would at that time be due under this Agreement but for such termination and of any other defaults then known to the NJSEA. If within thirty (30) days after such notice any Mortgagee gives the NJSEA written notice that such Mortgagee or a subsidiary of such Mortgagee desires to assume all of the obligations of Trump under this Agreement for the then remaining Term as if it had not been terminated, conditioned upon the payment of all sums then due and performance of all other terms, covenants and conditions, and if such Mortgagee or its subsidiary agrees to pay the NJSEA at the time of execution and delivery of an Assumption of Easement Agreement all sums which would on that date be due pursuant to this Agreement but for such termination and, in addition thereto, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs that the NJSEA shall have incurred by reason of the Event of Default and such termination of this Agreement, and specifically agrees to be bound by all the terms of this Agreement, the NJSEA shall execute an Assumption of Easement Agreement with such Mortgagee or its subsidiary and this Agreement shall not be terminated. If more than one Mortgagee -82- <PAGE> shall issue such a request and agreement concerning the Assumption of Easement Agreement, the NJSEA shall execute an Assumption of Easement Agreement with the Mortgagee (or its subsidiary) holding the senior and superior lien. 18. Quiet Enjoyment. Upon payment of the Annual Payment and upon the due performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained on Trump's part to be kept and performed, Trump shall and may at all times during the Term peaceably and quietly enjoy the Property, subject to the terms of this Agreement. 19.
