In order to maintain the validity of the Licensed Marks and to protect the goodwill and integrity associated with the Licensed Marks and Trump’s likeness, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to exercise quality control over the use of the Licensed Marks and Trump’s likeness in accordance with the following:

 

4.1.1 ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings shall not be required to submit samples for uses of the Licensed Marks and Trump’s likeness by ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings and its sublicensees made prior to the Effective Date, provided the level of quality is consistent with such prior uses (collectively, the “Prior Uses”).

reasonably believes the use thereof will harm the validity, goodwill and/or integrity of the Licensed Marks and/or Trump’s likeness. ▇▇▇▇▇ shall advise ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings in writing of his approval or rejection of each such sample, stating with reasonable specificity any objections thereto, and ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings shall refrain, and cause its sublicensees to refrain, from any rejected use until Trump’s objections have been satisfied. If ▇▇▇▇▇ does not send such notice within ten (10) business days following receipt of such sample, the sample shall be deemed approved.

4.1.4 The parties acknowledge that due to the nature of the Casino Services and Products, any inspection of such services and products and of ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings’ and/or its sublicensees’ premises where activities relating to the Licensed Marks are conducted, such as is necessary for ▇▇▇▇▇ to monitor ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings’ and its sublicensees’ compliance with the quality standards, may in certain circumstances be conducted in publicly accessible facilities and that ▇▇▇▇▇ and/or his representative(s) shall be free to inspect such publicly accessible facilities or publicly available products and materials; provided, however, that ▇▇▇▇▇ and/or his representative(s) shall do so in a discrete manner without materially disrupting or interfering with the normal operations of such facilities.

4.2.1 All uses of the Licensed Marks and Trump’s likeness shall be at levels consistent with or exceeding the standards of quality associated with them as of the Effective Date or as otherwise approved by ▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with Section 4.1.3 hereof. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇, upon review of samples submitted by ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings or inspection of the premises of ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings or its sublicensees pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, in his reasonable business judgment, believes that ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings or its sublicensees, in their conduct of activities under the Licensed Marks, have failed to meet such quality standards, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings with written notice thereof. Such notice shall specify the activities that fail to comply with such standards (the “Nonconforming Activities”) and the manner in which such Nonconforming Activities fail to meet such standards. ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings shall cooperate with ▇▇▇▇▇ to correct or cure such non-compliance within sixty (60) days from the date of Trump’s notice thereof. If after sixty (60) days from the date of notice by ▇▇▇▇▇ to ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings shall have failed to correct (or to have caused its sublicensees to correct) such Nonconforming Activities, Trump’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to maintain an action in the district court for the Southern District of New York or state court located in New York City for declaratory judgment and/or injunctive relief seeking to compel ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings to comply (or to cause its sublicensees to comply) with the quality control standards, and any such remedy shall be limited to the Licensed Marks that are the subject of the Nonconforming Activities. ▇▇▇▇▇ shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for any breach or alleged breach of the quality control standards, unless a court determines that ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings has failed to comply with a court order or injunction respecting quality standards obtained by ▇▇▇▇▇ in a proceeding brought by ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to this Section 4.2. ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings shall pay all costs and expenses

incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇ in maintaining an action pursuant to this Section 4.2 in the event a court determines that ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings and/or its sublicensees engaged in Nonconforming Activities and failed to correct such Nonconforming Activities within sixty (60) days from the date of notice thereof. ▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings in the event a court determines that neither ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings nor its sublicensees engaged in Nonconforming Activities.

 

5. Conversion to Royalty-Bearing License.

In the event that: (a) the Services Agreement is terminated (i) by Company and/or ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings other than for Cause, or (ii) by ▇▇▇▇▇ for Good Reason, or (b) Company and ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings are not offering terms to ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to a services agreement at least as favorable to ▇▇▇▇▇ as the Services Agreement (in either case other than as a result of Trump’s death or Permanent Disability) ((a) and (b) together, a “Termination Event”), then either of the following shall occur:

 

5.1.1 At the sole option of ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings (the “Royalty Option”), the License granted pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall convert to a royalty-bearing license as described in Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 hereof (the “Royalty License”); or

 

5.1.2 If ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings does not exercise the Royalty Option within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of a Termination Event, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.

 

If there has occurred a termination of the Services Agreement (or Company and ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings are not offering terms to ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to a services agreement at least as favorable to ▇▇▇▇▇ as the Services Agreement) and the circumstances giving rise to such termination were caused by (i) Company and ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings terminating the Services Agreement for Cause, (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇ terminating the Services Agreement other than for Good Reason, or (iii) Trump’s death or Permanent Disability, then no such royalty (or any other royalty) shall be payable to ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the Royalty License (i.e., such license shall be royalty-free).

 

5.2. Term. The term of the Royalty License pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be ten (10) years from the date of occurrence of a Termination Event (the “Conversion Date”).

 

5.3. Annual Royalty. Subject to the final paragraph of Section 5.1, for each Company Property that uses any Licensed ▇▇▇▇ and/or Trump’s likeness in connection with a Company Property, including Casino Services and Products provided for or offered in connection with the Company Property (regardless of the number of Licensed Marks used, or the number of uses of Trump’s likeness made, by such Company Property), Company, ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, such Company Property, and their respective Subsidiaries shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to ▇▇▇▇▇, a royalty in the annual amount of: (i) $500,000 for each such Company Property that has an annual EBIDTA of at least $25 million; or (ii) $100,000 for each such Company Property that has an annual EBITDA less than $25 million; provided, however, that the aggregate royalties payable under the Royalty License with respect to all Company Properties shall in no event exceed $5 million per annum.

The annual EBITDA shall be calculated quarterly based upon the EBITDA for the four (4) full quarters immediately preceding each payment date; provided, however, within thirty (30) days after each annual period, the EBITDA for such annual period shall be calculated and (a) if the EBITDA for any Company Property for which a $500,000 royalty was paid actually was less than $25 million, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall refund $400,000 of such paid royalty to ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, and (b) if the EBITDA for any Company Property for which a $100,000 royalty was paid actually was equal to or exceed $25 million, ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings shall pay an additional $400,000 to ▇▇▇▇▇. The royalty payment for the period (the “Initial Period”) from the Conversion Date to the end of the quarter in which the Conversion Date occurs shall be prorated based on the actual number days in the Initial Period. The royalty payments for the annual period beginning on the Conversion Date shall also be prorated based on the actual number of days in the period from the Conversion Date through the end of the first annual period. In the event that the Services Agreement shall have been terminated for any reason, the royalties payable to ▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder for any such quarterly period following the Conversion Date shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any Compensation payable for such period that shall have been actually paid to and received by ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to Section 2.2(c) of the Services Agreement. If such Compensation exceeds the amount of royalties payable hereunder, the excess amount shall be credited to future royalty obligations hereunder. Without limiting or waiving any other rights of ▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder, any payments that are not paid within thirty (30) days of such payment date shall bear interest from the end of such thirty-day period at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum. If any Company Property ceases to use any Licensed ▇▇▇▇ or Trump’s likeness in connection with such Company Property and all Casino Services and Products provided therein, then ▇▇▇▇▇ shall receive a pro-rata royalty during any such 12-month period in which such Company Property used any Licensed ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ likeness.

 

5.4. Audit Rights. Company, ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings and their Subsidiaries shall maintain accurate records in sufficient detail to enable ▇▇▇▇▇ to verify annual EBITDA of each Company Property in order to calculate royalties accrued under the Royalty License. Each of Company and ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings hereby grants ▇▇▇▇▇ the right, two times per year during the term of this Agreement and for two (2) years after expiration or termination, to examine, audit and copy such records and books of account, either directly or through his representatives, upon reasonable written notice and during Company’s or ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings’ regular business hours. If any such inspection reveals, in Trump’s reasonable good faith judgment, any alleged underpayment of royalties, then ▇▇▇▇▇ shall notify Company and ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings (such notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such alleged underpayment of royalties and the total amount of such underpayment) and Company, ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, and the Company Property whose use of the Licensed Marks or ▇▇▇▇▇ likeness is the subject of such underpayment shall use their best efforts to resolve any such dispute with ▇▇▇▇▇. If such dispute is not resolved within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of such underpayment, the dispute shall be submitted to a neutral independent auditor acceptable to both parties (the “Independent Auditor”) for resolution. The Independent Auditor shall determine (and written notice shall be given to the Company, ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings and ▇▇▇▇▇) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of the date of which such dispute is referred to the Independent Auditor: (i) whether the amounts of EBITDA were prepared in accordance with the definition hereof and (ii) only with respect to the disputed items submitted to the Independent Auditor, whether and to

what extent (if any) any amount of royalties payable hereunder require adjustment. The determination of the Independent Auditor shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties, and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to make and retain copies of any reports or other materials reviewed by the Independent Auditor in connection with the dispute. If any underpayment of royalties is finally determined by the Independent Auditor to be owed to ▇▇▇▇▇, then Company, ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, any Company Property whose use of the Licensed Marks and/or ▇▇▇▇▇ likeness is the subject of such underpayment, and their respective Subsidiaries shall within five (5) days after receipt of notice from the Independent Auditor that such underpayment is in fact due remit to ▇▇▇▇▇, and each shall be jointly and severally obligated to remit to ▇▇▇▇▇, the amount of such underpayment. In addition, if the amount of such underpayment of royalties is determined by the Independent Auditor to exceed five (5%) percent, then Company, ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, such Company Property, and their respective Subsidiaries shall (i) reimburse ▇▇▇▇▇ for the full cost and expense of the Independent Auditor and the inspection and (ii) pay interest on amount of such underpayment at the rate of ten (10%) per annum.

Failure of a party to enforce any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any option or other right hereunder, or to require, at

 

- 18 -

---

any time, performance of any of the obligations hereof, shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions by such party, shall not affect, in any way, the validity of this Agreement or such party’s right thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement, and shall not preclude such party from taking any other action, at any time, which it is legally entitled to take.

11.6. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
