            WHEREAS, Movado Group, Inc. (the Company) and the Trustees of the Grinberg Family Trust (the Trust) entered into a Policy Collateral Assignment And Split Dollar Agreement, dated as of December 5, 1995 (the Split Dollar Agreement); and

            WHEREAS, pursuant to the Split Dollar Agreement, the Policy is owned by the Trust and collaterally assigned by it to the Company in order to secure the repayment of the amounts due to the Company in respect of the Company's loans to the Trust which have been used by the Trust to pay the premiums on the Policy (such loans totaling $5,186,860 on the date hereof and being represented by a Demand Note, dated December 5, 1995, between the Company and the Trust (the Demand Note)); and

            WHEREAS, Section XIII of the Split Dollar Agreement provides that it may be amended at any time and from time to time by a written instrument by the parties thereto; and

            WHEREAS, Executive and a Trustee and a beneficiary of the Trust are executive officers of the Company; and

            WHEREAS, counsel to the Company has advised the Company that the collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement reflected in the Split Dollar Agreement may violate the aforementioned prohibition on personal loans to executive officers set forth in Section 402 of the Act, in respect of loans made to the Trust on or after July 30, 2002, although there exists no authority on point and reasonable arguments may be made to the contrary; and

            WHEREAS, in order to best ensure that the Company does not violate the aforementioned prohibition on personal loans to executive officers set forth in Section 402 of the Act, the parties hereto wish to (i) amend and restate the Split Dollar Agreement, (ii) rename the amended and restated Split Dollar Agreement the Movado Group, Inc.

            1. Transfer of Policy; Partial Repayment of Demand Note. The Trustees of the Trust hereby agree to promptly execute any and all documents required by the New York Life Insurance Company (the Insurer) and the Company to transfer ownership of the Policy from the Trust to the Company in exchange for the Company's agreement to promptly execute any and all documents required to reflect the partial repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Demand Note, as described in the recitals above.

            2. Ownership of Policy. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company shall be the sole and exclusive owner of the Policy.

            3. Surrender, Withdrawals, Loans; Etc. Other than as specifically allowed herein, the Company shall not borrow from, hypothecate, withdraw cash value from, surrender in whole or in part, cancel, or in any other manner encumber the Policy without the prior written consent of the Trustees of the Trust. Unless the Company and the Trustees of the Trust otherwise agree, in the event there is a complete or partial surrender or cancellation of the Policy, the proceeds payable as a result of the surrender, cancellation, withdrawal or loan shall be paid to the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate premiums paid under the Policy since inception, and any remaining proceeds shall be payable to the Trust.

            4. Investment of Cash Values. If the Policy provides the policy owner with a choice of investment funds for the Policy cash values, the Company shall select the funds in which to invest such cash values.

            5. Payment of Premiums. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay premiums on the Policy as provided under the Policy. In





the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with terms of Section 11, the Company shall not be liable for any premiums owed on the Policy after the date of termination.

            6. Payment of Death Benefits. Upon the death of the survivor of the Insureds, the death benefit under the Policy (including any interest payable under the Policy in respect of such death benefit for the period from the date of death of such survivor until the payment of the death benefit) shall be divided as follows:

                  (a) The Company shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the aggregate premiums paid under the Policy since inception less the amount of the then outstanding principal balance of the Demand Note (the Company Death Benefit). (If the Policy provides for a death benefit equal to the sum of the face amount of the Policy and any cash account or accumulation value, the Company Death Benefit shall first be paid from the cash account or accumulation value portion of the death benefit.)

                                                                               3

                  (b) The Trust shall be entitled to receive the excess, if any, of the Policy's death benefit over the Company Death Benefit.

                  (c) If any interest is payable under the Policy in respect of the death benefit for the period from the date of death of such survivor until the payment of the death benefit, the Company and the Trust shall share in such interest in proportion that their respective share of such death benefit (as determined under Section 6(a) and (b) hereof) bears to the total death benefit, excluding any interest thereon.

            7. Company Default. In the event of a Company Default (as defined below), the Trust shall have the right to require the Company to cure the Company Default by notifying the Company in writing within sixty (60) days after its receipt of notice of a Company Default, or if later, within thirty (30) days after a Trustee becomes aware of the Company Default. If the Company fails to cure the Company Default within sixty (60) days after being notified by the Trust of the Company Default, the Trust shall have the right to require the Company to transfer its interest in the Policy to the Trust. The Trust may exercise this right by notifying the Company, in writing, within sixty (60) days after the Company Default occurs. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall immediately transfer ownership of the Policy to the Trust and the Company shall thereafter have no rights with respect to the Policy. The Trust's failure to exercise its rights under this Section 7 shall not be deemed to release the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement, and shall not preclude the Trust from seeking other remedies with respect to the Company Default. For purposes of this Agreement, a Company Default shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the Policy if the Company fails to pay a premium on the Policy as required under the terms of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after the due date for such premium, or if the Company processes or attempts to process a policy loan, or a complete or partial surrender, or a cash value withdrawal without prior written approval from the Trustees of the Trust. The Company shall notify the Trustees of the Trust within five (5) business days of any event which constitutes a Company Default.

            9. Entire Agreement.

            Following the review of any additional information submitted by the claimant, either through the hearing process or otherwise, the Plan Administrator shall make its decision regarding the merits of the denied claim within sixty (60) days following receipt of the request for review (or within 120 days after such receipt, in a case where there are special circumstances requiring extension of time for reviewing the appealed claim). The Plan Administrator shall deliver the decision to the claimant in writing. If an extension of time for reviewing the appealed claim is required because of special circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension.
