April, 1999, among Greate Bay Casino Corporation ("GBCC"), Xxxxx Casino
Corporation ("PCC"), PRT Funding Corp. ("PRT"), New Jersey Management, Inc.
("NJMI," and together with GBCC, PCC and PRT, collectively the "GBCC Group"),

R E C I T A L S
- - - - - - - -
A. PRT has issued and there remains outstanding $85 million principal amount
of 11-5/8% Senior Notes (the "Existing PRT Notes").
B. PCC has guaranteed the payment of the Existing PRT Notes (the "PCC
Guarantee").
C. The Consenting Holders hold approximately $82.823 million of the Existing
PRT Notes in the principal amounts, respectively, set forth on the signature
pages hereto.
D. The GBCC Group, HCC and the Consenting Holders desire to implement a
financial restructuring (the "Financial Restructuring") of the Existing PRT
Notes substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in the Joint
Reorganization Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Joint Plan"). The
principal component of the Financial Restructuring is the payment to the holders
of the Existing PRT Notes, by substantial consummation of a plan of
reorganization, of at least $40,329,375 on the terms provided in Section 6.2(Q)
of the Joint Plan (the "Cash Take-Out").
-1-
E. In order to implement the Financial Restructuring, PCC, PRT and NJMI will
commence (the date of such commencement being the "Petition Date") proceedings
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 Proceedings") and seek
to obtain court approval of the Joint Plan and a disclosure statement in respect
thereof (the "Disclosure Statement").
F. This Agreement is being entered into in order to facilitate the
implementation of the Financial Restructuring, by the Consenting Holders in
consideration of PCC's, PRT's and NJMI's agreement to commence the Chapter 11
Proceedings and to file and seek confirmation of the Joint Plan and of GBCC's
and HCC's agreement to participate in the Financial Restructuring, and by the
GBCC Group and HCC in consideration of the Consenting Holders' agreement to vote
their claims to accept the Joint Plan and otherwise agree to the terms of the
Financial Restructuring as set forth below.
A G R E E M E N T
- - - - - - - - -
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby
agree as follows:
1. Voting Agreement; Restriction on Transfer.
(a) Each Consenting Holder, severally and neither jointly nor jointly and
severally, hereby agrees that it shall:
(i) Subject to its receipt of appropriate disclosure and solicitation
materials meeting the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, timely
vote its claims (or claims otherwise subject to such Consenting
Holder's right to vote or
-2-
direct the disposition thereof) in respect of the Existing PRT
Notes owned on the date hereof or hereafter acquired to accept
the Joint Plan (and not revoke or withdraw such vote);
(ii) Refrain from the sale, transfer, pledge or any other assignment
of any of the Existing PRT Notes, or any voting interest therein
to any person unless such person is a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and
such person agrees in writing to become a party to, and be bound
by the terms and conditions of, this Agreement (it being
expressly acknowledged for the avoidance of doubt that any
Consenting Holder may disclose the terms of this Agreement and
any other information relating to the parties hereto to any
transferee or prospective transferee of the PRT Notes);
(iii) Not take any position in the Chapter 11 Proceedings that
conflicts with its obligations hereunder;
(iv) Vote its Existing PRT Notes and any other claims it might have
or acquire to reject any bankruptcy plan of reorganization for
PCC, PRT or NJMI other than the Joint Plan; and
(v) Take such other and further actions as the GBCC Group and HCC
shall reasonably request to effectuate the Financial
Restructuring, including waiving the requirement of New Jersey
Casino Control Commission approval of the Newco Warrants (as
defined in the Joint Plan) if GBCC
-3-
requests such waiver because it reasonably concludes that such
approval will materially delay the closing of the Financial
Restructuring.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require a
Consenting Holder to take any action which is prohibited by the Bankruptcy Code
or by other applicable law or regulation or by any order or direction of any
court or any federal or state governmental authority.
(b) The obligations of the Consenting Holders under subsection (a) of this
Section 1 shall be at all times subject to the continuing conditions that:
(i) the plan of reorganization being considered in the Chapter 11
Proceedings is substantially in the form of the Joint Plan;
(ii) an Agreement Termination Event (as defined in Section 8 below)
shall not have occurred; and
(iii) HCC shall either (A) be actively pursuing the HCC Refinancing
(defined in Section 21(a) below), on a schedule and with an
intention to close not later than June 30, 1999 or (B) have
consummated the HCC Refinancing and the escrow established in
connection therewith shall still have funds available to fund
the Cash Take-Out.
(c) If GBCC receives a waiver from the Consenting Holders of New Jersey
Casino Control Commission approval of the Newco Warrants and there is
a closing of the Financial Restructuring, GBCC shall cause PPI
Corporation to cause Newco (as defined in the Joint Plan) to use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain such
-4-
approval until such time as a plan is confirmed in the Sands
Bankruptcy (as defined in Section 2 hereof).
2. Conditions to Consummation of the Financial Restructuring.
Consummation of the Financial Restructuring will be subject to the
following closing conditions:
(i) Receipt of all required government approvals, consents and
authorizations;
(ii) The absence of any pending or threatened action, suit, or
proceeding before any court or quasi-judicial or administrative
agency of any federal, state, local, or foreign jurisdiction
that is reasonably likely to result in an unfavorable
injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, or charge that
would (A) prevent the Cash Take-Out or (B) permit any or all of
the payments made in the Cash Take-Out to be rescinded;
(iii) The execution and delivery of all documentation relating to the
liquidating trust contemplated by the Joint Plan (but not the
assets to be delivered into such trust), in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Consenting Holders and consistent
with the terms of the Joint Plan;
(iv) The entry of orders of the Bankruptcy Court, which orders shall
be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Consenting Holders and, unless finality is waived by the
Consenting Holders, shall have become final and non-appealable:
-5-
(a) confirming the Joint Plan and, among other things, allowing
the claims in respect of the Existing PRT Notes as the only
allowed general unsecured claims in Class 1 under the Joint
Plan;
(b) disallowing any and all general unsecured claims in Class 8
in the Joint Plan (except for (1) any reasonable unpaid fees
and expenses of the Indenture Trustee for the Existing PRT
Notes (the "Indenture Trustee"), (2) any claims fully
covered by liability insurance and (3) up to $50,000 payable
in connection with claims insurable but subject to NJMI's
deductible under existing insurance policies), including,
without limitation, all claims asserted by the debtors or
any other party acting on behalf of the debtors' estates in
the jointly administered Chapter 11 cases (the "Sands
Bankruptcy") of Greate Bay Hotel and Casino, Inc. ("GBHC"),
GB Holdings, Inc. ("GBH") and GB Property Funding Corp. ("GB
Funding"), Case Nos. 98-10001, 98-10002, 98-10003 (JW) in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New
Jersey, including estate representatives, examiners or
official committees of creditors; and
(c) allowing or estimating claims of the IRS in an amount not to
exceed $250,000.
3. Financial Restructuring; The Joint Plan. Each member of the GBCC Group
agrees to commence, forthwith after the closing of the HCC Refinancing, the
Chapter 11 Proceedings.
-6-
Each member of the GBCC Group and HCC agrees (i) to take all such steps as shall
be reasonably necessary and desirable to consummate the Financial Restructuring,
including obtaining confirmation of the Joint Plan, as promptly as practicable
and (ii) to submit this Agreement and the Joint Plan to the appropriate
regulatory authorities for their approval. In the event that it becomes
impractical to pursue the Joint Plan and still consummate the Cash Take-Out by
January 31, 2000, each member of the GBCC Group agrees that it shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Cash Take-Out to be consummated on terms
and conditions as near as possible to those set forth in the Joint Plan; and
will not take any steps that are inconsistent with such terms and conditions
without first consulting with and obtaining the approval of the Consenting
Holders. In the event that it becomes impractical to pursue the Joint Plan and
still consummate the Cash Take-Out by January 31, 2000, HCC agrees that it will
maintain the escrow established in the HCC Refinancing (defined below), for the
purposes of effecting the Cash Take-Out, until the earlier of January 31, 2000
and an Agreement Termination Event.
4. Payments. The Consenting Holders acknowledge and agree (i) that PCC, PRT
or NJMI shall make the payments described in Exhibit "B" (subject to Bankruptcy
Court approval, as necessary) and (ii) that the dollar amounts for the payments
described in Exhibit "B" as restructuring costs and ordinary course corporate
expenses are estimates and may vary from the actual payments that are made.
PCC, PRT and NJMI represent that the dollar amounts set forth in Exhibit "B" for
restructuring costs and ordinary course corporate expenses represent their good
faith estimate of such payments through August 31, 1999 (the assumed date of
consummation of the Financial Restructuring), it being acknowledged that PCC,
PRT
-7-
and NJMI have relied on the Consenting Holders' estimates of such Consenting
Holders' professional fees and expenses in making such estimate.

---------
in the event that it refinances the HCC Notes in full (including
transactions in which 90% or more of the HCC Notes are refinanced with
covenant-stripping amendments to the indenture or defeasance of the
remaining HCC Notes), and in the event that such refinancing occurs
more than 5 1/2 months prior to maturity of the HCC Notes, it will
also refinance the New PCC Notes as part of such refinancing. It is
HCC's intention to refinance the HCC Notes, and to refinance the New
PCC Notes concurrently therewith, as soon as market conditions permit.
In the event of a refinancing of the HCC Notes and the New PCC Notes
by HCC, the holders of the New PCC Notes will have the right to
receive and the obligation to take, in exchange

for the New PCC Notes, (i) cash and/or (ii) new notes issued pursuant
to the same indenture as those notes by HCC to the HCC Noteholders
("New Notes"), in an aggregate amount (for these purposes, counting
the New Notes at their issue price), equal to 102.75% of the principal
amount of the New PCC Notes and in the same proportion that holders of
the HCC Notes receive cash and New Notes in the HCC refinancing. If
two or more tranches of New Notes are issued in connection with such
refinancing, the holders of PCC Notes will have the right to a pro
rata participation in each tranche.
22. Professional Fees. PCC, PRT and NJMI jointly and severally agree to pay,
subject to Bankruptcy Court approval if necessary, the reasonable fees and
expenses of Ropes & Xxxx as counsel for the Consenting Holders, incurred through
the earlier of the effective date of the Joint Plan or the date of an Agreement
Termination Event. PCC, PRT and NJMI also agree to actively support, including
joining in, a motion of the Consenting Holders for payment of such fees as a
substantial contribution to the case pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section
503(b)(3)(D).
23. Cooperation in Sands Bankruptcy.
(a) Each member of the GBCC Group shall take all actions reasonably
requested by any of PRT, PCC, NJMI and the Consenting Holders, in assisting in
the prosecution of the claims of PCC, PRT and NJMI against the Sands. Except for
reimbursement of actual out of pocket expenses (and not including time), such
assistance shall be provided at no additional cost to PRT, PCC, NJMI or the
Consenting Holders. The GBCC Group shall not be required to have any of their
personnel devote more time to the prosecution of such claims than a reasonable
non-affiliated party would if prosecuting such claims for itself.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the GBCC Group shall consult with the
Consenting Holders regarding developments in the Sands Bankruptcy and will take
such actions in the Sands Bankruptcy as may reasonably be requested by the
Consenting Holders that do not conflict with fiduciary duties owed to other
creditors or shareholders, applicable laws or regulations, the Interim
Settlement Agreement or the Settlement Agreement.
(c) HCC and NJMI agree that the Services Agreement between them dated as
of January 1, 1994 has been terminated and that HCC hereby releases any claim
for damages, against PCC, PRT or NJMI arising therefrom or related thereto.
24. Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by each of the parties
hereto that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of
this Agreement by any party and each non-breaching party shall be entitled to
specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any
such breach.
25. Survival and Assignment. The agreements and covenants contained in
Sections 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 22, 23 and 24 shall survive substantial
consummation of the Joint Plan. The representation and warranties of HCC and the
GBCC Group contained in Section 6(a)(i)-(v) and the representations and
warranties of the GBCC Group contained in Section 6(b)(i) shall survive
substantial consummation of the Joint Plan. The covenants of HCC, the GBCC Group
and the Consenting Holders contained in Sections 21(b) and 21(c) shall survive
the Agreement Termination Date.
