GERALD KAY, residing at 3 Isabella Place, Glen Rock, New Jersey, as Grantor (hereinafter referred to as the "Grantor"), and RIVA KAY, residing at 1175 York Avenue Apt. 8M, New York, New York, and KEVIN M. KILCULLEN, with an office at 131 Madison Avenue, Morristown, New Jersey as Trustee (together with any other fiduciaries serving hereunder being hereinafter referred to as the "Trustees"): W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the Grantor desires to establish trusts for the management and distribution of any property transferred thereto during his lifetime and after his death; and WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, or as soon as possible thereafter, all of the right, title, and interest in and to the property described in Schedule A, annexed hereto and made a part hereof, shall be transferred to the Trustees, and the Grantor may from time to time transfer to the Trustees' ownership other property. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: FIRST: DAUGHTER'S TRUST. The Trustees shall hold all of the property transferred to them, IN TRUST, manage, administer, invest, and reinvest the principal of such trust, collect the income therefrom, and pay over and distribute such income and principal as follows: (1) Prior to the termination of such trust, the Trustees (other than the Grantor's daughter, RIVA KAY, if she is acting as Trustee), at any times that they deem it advisable, may pay to or apply for the benefit of the Grantor's daughter, RIVA KAY, so much, all or none of the net income of such trust and such sums out of the principal of such trust (including the whole thereof) as the Trustees, in their sole and absolute discretion, deem advisable to provide for the care, health, maintenance, support, and education (including, but not limited to, elementary, secondary, undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate education) of the Grantor's said daughter, as well as for any expenses incurred by or for the Grantor's said daughter because of any illness, operation, infirmity, or emergency, or for such other purposes, irrespective of cause or need, as the Trustees, in their sole and absolute discretion, deem to be in the best interests of the Grantor's said daughter. Any net income not so paid or applied during any accounting year of such trust shall be accumulated and, at the end of such year added to, and in all respects treated as, principal. 2 (2) The Trustees shall, at any times that the Grantor's daughter, RIVA KAY, directs, pay to or apply for the benefit of the Grantor's said daughter such sums out of the principal of such trust (including the whole thereof) the Grantor's said daughter directs to provide for her support in her accustomed manner of living at the death of the Grantor, for her health, and to defray medical, dental, hospital, and nursing expenses, and expenses of invalidism, that she may incur. (3) In exercising the discretion granted to them in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trustees should be mindful that such trust has been created so as not to give rise to the payment of a generation-skipping transfer tax on the death of the Grantor's daughter, RIVA KAY. If the Grantor's said daughter should make any requests for invasions of principal pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trustees should encourage the Grantor's said daughter to seek other sources for such funds; however, after providing such encouragement and considering other sources of funds available to the Grantor's said daughter, such invasions may, if the Trustees in their sole and absolute discretion deem it advisable, be made. (C) Upon the death of the Grantor's said daughter, RIVA KAY, the Trustees shall dispose of the principal and undistributed income of such trust as follows: 3 (1) The Trustees, upon the death of the Grantor's daughter, RIVA KAY, shall transfer and set over the then remaining principal and undistributed income of the trust to such persons, in such portions or amounts, and upon such estates, whether in trust or otherwise, as the Grantor's said daughter may, by her Last Will and Testament, appoint to receive the same; provided, however, that the Grantor's said daughter shall not be deemed to have exercised such general power of appointment unless she specifically refers thereto in her Last Will and Testament; and provided further, however, that such power shall be exercisable only in the event that there is an "inclusion ratio" with respect to the trust of greater than zero, as such term is defined under Section 2642 of the Code. (2) The Trustees shall pay over and distribute any remaining principal and undistributed income of such trust not appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding Paragraph to the issue of the Grantor's daughter, RIVA KAY, in such portions or amounts, and upon such estates, whether in trust or otherwise, as the Grantor's said daughter may, her Last Will and Testament, appoint to receive the same; provided, however, that the Grantor's said daughter shall not be deemed to have exercised such limited power of appointment unless she specifically refers thereto in the her Last Will and Testament. (3) Any portion of the principal and undistributed 4 income of such trust remaining that the Grantor's daughter, RIVA KAY, shall not have validly appointed by her Last Will and Testament as above provided shall be paid over and distributed to the issue of the Grantor's said daughter who shall then be living at the death of the Grantor's said daughter, per stirpes, or, in default thereof, to the issue of the Grantor who shall then be living, per stirpes; provided, however, that any portion of the principal and income of such trust thus accruing to any grandchild of the Grantor who shall not then have attained the age of fifty (50) years shall not be paid over and distributed to such grandchild, but held, IN FURTHER TRUST, and the Trustees shall invest, reinvest, administer, and distribute such portion in accordance with the provisions of Article SECOND hereof, including the distribution to such grandchild, concurrently with such addition, of any portion thereof that such grandchild would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of such grandchild's trust as a result of having attained the age such grandchild has attained at the time of such addition. SECOND: GRANDCHILD'S TRUST. The Trustees shall hold, administer, invest, and reinvest the principal of each trust created hereunder for a grandchild of the Grantor, collect the income therefrom, and distribute such income and principal as follows: (A) Until such grandchild attains the age of twenty-five (25) years, the Trustees, at any times that they deem it advisable, may pay to or apply for the benefit of such grandchild so much, all, or none of the net income of such trust as the Trustees, in their sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to provide for the care, health, maintenance, support, and education (including, but not limited to, elementary, secondary, undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate education) of such grandchild, as well as for any expenses incurred by or for such grandchild because of any illness, operation, infirmity, or emergency, or for such other purposes, irrespective of cause or need, as the Trustees, in their sole and absolute discretion, deem to be in the best 5 interests of such grandchild. Any net income not so paid or applied during any accounting year of such trust shall be accumulated and, at the end of such year added to, and in all respects treated as, principal. (B) From and after such grandchild's attainment of the age of twenty-five (25) years, the Trustees shall pay over to such grandchild all of the net income of such trust at convenient intervals but no less frequently than quarter-annually. (C) Prior to the termination of such trust, the Trustees, at any times that they deem it advisable, may pay to or apply for the benefit of such grandchild such sums out of the principal of such trust (including the whole thereof) as the Trustees, in their sole and absolute discretion, deem advisable to provide for the care, health, maintenance, support, and education (including, but not limited to, elementary, secondary, undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate education) of such grandchild, as well as for any expenses incurred by or for such grandchild because of any illness, operation, infirmity, or emergency, or for such other purposes, irrespective of cause or need, as the Trustees, in their sole and absolute discretion, deem to be in the best interests of such grandchild. 6 (D) Upon such grandchild attaining the age of thirty (30) years, or upon such trust being created, if such grandchild shall have attained the age of thirty (30) years but shall not have attained the age of forty (40) years, the Trustees shall pay over and distribute to such grandchild one-third (1/3) of the then principal of such trust. (E) Upon such grandchild attaining the age of forty (40) years, or upon such trust being created, if such grandchild shall have attained the age of forty (40) years, the Trustees shall pay over and distribute to such grandchild one-half (1/2) of the then principal of such trust. (F) Upon such grandchild attaining the age of fifty (50) years, the Trustees shall convey and deliver to such grandchild all of the property then belonging to the principal of such trust, together with any undistributed income. (G) If any grandchild for whom a trust is established pursuant to this Agreement dies before attaining the age of fifty (50) years, then upon such grandchild's death, the then remaining principal, together with all undistributed income, of such trust shall be paid over and distributed to the issue of such grandchild who shall then be living, per stirpes, or, in default thereof, to the then living issue of such grandchild's parent who shall have been a descendant of the Grantor, per stirpes, or, in default thereof, to the issue of the Grantor who shall then be living, per stirpes; provided, however, that if any portion of the principal and income of such trust shall accrue to any grandchild of the Grantor who shall not then have attained the age of fifty (50) years, then said portion shall not be paid over to such grandchild, but added to such grandchild's trust, and held, managed, administered, and distributed as though originally part thereof, including the distribution to such grandchild, concurrently with the said addition, of any portion thereof that such grandchild would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of such grandchild's trust as a result of having attained the age such grandchild has attained at the time of such addition. 7 THIRD: ADDITIONS TO TRUST. The Trustees, at any time, and from time to time, may receive and accept from the Grantor, the personal representatives of the Grantor, or any other persons, any additions to any trust created hereunder, in the form of cash, securities, or other property, real, personal or mixed. Any and all such additions shall be administered as part of such trust and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. FOURTH: MINOR'S CLAUSE.

If such minor shall die before attaining majority, such principal and accumulations of income shall be paid over to the estate of such minor. 9 (2) The authority granted to the Trustees hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other alternative available to them with respect to the administration and distribution of such part of the principal of any such trust and it shall be construed as a power only and shall not prevent the absolute vesting thereof in such minor. (3) In the case of tangible personal property, the Trustees are authorized and empowered (a) to deliver all or any part of such minor's share of such property directly to such minor or to any person deemed suitable by them for the benefit of such minor, without bond, or (b) to sell all or any part of such minor's share of such property, publicly or privately, on such terms as they, in their sole and absolute discretion, deem proper, and to add the net proceeds to the part held, administered, invested, or reinvested for such minor's benefit under Paragraph (1) of this Subarticle (A).

The receipt by such minor or other payee shall be a full acquittance to the Trustees to the extent of such payment. The Trustees shall not be bound to see to the application or use of any payment so made. 10 (2) The Trustees, in determining the amount of income or principal to be so paid or applied, are authorized, in their sole and absolute discretion, to disregard the amount of income receivable by such person or the extent to which such person may be entitled to or shall receive support from any other person. In no event shall the Trustees be bound by any rule of law that may require impartiality between or among successive beneficiaries. (C) Any income that the Trustees are authorized to pay to any adult person pursuant to this Agreement may be applied by the Trustees in their sole and absolute discretion for the benefit of such person. (D) The Trustees, in their capacity hereunder, and any persons to whom the Trustees are authorized hereunder to pay over and distribute a part of the principal of any trust created hereunder, or to pay income for the benefit of a minor or person under some other legal disability, shall serve without bond; and they shall not be required to qualify as a guardian of any minor for whom property is held or income paid pursuant to this Article. (E) For the purposes of this Article, a person who has not attained the age of twenty-one (21) years shall be deemed to be a minor. FIFTH: FIDUCIARY POWERS.

The revocation of any such delegation shall be in writing and delivered to all such other Trustees then acting. 19 EIGHTEENTH: SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES. (A) E. GERALD KAY may, during his lifetime, pursuant to an instrument executed by him (which he may alter or supersede from time to time) and acknowledged in the same manner as is then required to record deeds of real estate in the State of New Jersey and delivered to the then acting Trustees hereunder: (1) Designate one or more suitable individuals (other than the Grantor, or corporations (and may fix the order in which such individuals or corporations shall serve) as Successor Trustees; and (2) Eliminate or change the order of succession of any Co-Trustees or Successor Trustees designated in this Article or hereafter designated pursuant to this Subarticle. (B) (1) Any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Trustee hereunder shall have any power or discretion, or be deemed to be a Trustee, with respect to payments or applications of income or principal, or allocations of receipts or expenses between income and principal, to or for the use or benefit of (a) himself or herself as a beneficiary of any trust created hereunder, or (b) any person whom said Trustee, in his or her individual capacity, is legally obligated to support, if such payment, application, or allotment shall constitute a discharge of any part of such Trustee's legal support obligation. (2) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the discretionary power to pay or apply trust principal to or for the use or benefit of any trust beneficiary shall be exercised solely by such Trustees other than any Trustee who has a beneficial interest in the remainder of such trust that would cause the exercise of such power to be treated as a gift by such Trustee for federal gift tax purposes. If at any time there is no Trustee qualified and acting who does not have such an interest, such powers shall be exercised by all the Trustees (subject to any other provision of this Agreement restricting the exercise of such powers) in their sole and absolute discretion, but solely for the purpose of enabling the beneficiary to maintain his or her accustomed standard of living and for his or her reasonable support, education, maintenance, and health. (C) Subsequent to the death of the Grantor, if any individual is acting as sole Trustee of any trust created hereunder for the benefit of himself or herself, irrespective of the cause thereof, he or she must designate, pursuant to an instrument acknowledged in the same manner as is then required to record deeds of real estate in the State of New Jersey, one or more suitable individuals or corporations to act as Co-Trustees with him or her, it being the Grantor's intention that no individual shall ever act as sole Trustee of his or her own trust. 20 (D) Subsequent to the death of the Grantor, the beneficiary of any trust established hereunder shall have the right to remove any Co-Trustee acting hereunder by delivering a written instrument to such Co-Trustee acknowledged in the manner as is then required to record deeds of real estate in the State of New Jersey; provided, however, that said right of removal may be exercised by such beneficiary only three (3) times during such beneficiary's lifetime; and provided further, however, that such beneficiary must then designate a corporate banking institution or trust company then having assets under management in excess of ONE BILLION ($1,000,000,000) DOLLARS to serve as Co-Trustee of such trust if one is not then serving, it being the Grantor's intention that any Co-Trustee removed pursuant to this Paragraph (E) shall be replaced by a corporate banking institution or trust company. (E) The last acting individual sole Trustee for whom no designated successor shall be available to act for any reason whatsoever may, pursuant to a written instrument; executed by him or her during his or her lifetime (which he or she may alter or supersede from time to time), acknowledged in the same manner as is then required to record deeds of real estate in the State of New Jersey or by his or her Last Will and Testament duly admitted to probate, designate one or more individuals and/or corporate banking institutions (and may fix the order in which such individuals and/or corporate banking institutions shall serve) as co-Trustee or co-Trustees, to serve with such sole individual Trustee, and/or as successor Trustee or Trustees, to succeed such sole individual Trustee, in the event he or she shall cease to act as Trustee hereunder, for any reason whatsoever. (F) The relevant provisions of N.J.S.A. 3B:11-4.1, et seq., shall modify, as applicable, the foregoing provisions of this Article. NINETEENTH: GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAX PROVISIONS. (A) The Grantor gives the Trustees the power in their sole and absolute discretion to divide property in any trust being held hereunder into two separate trusts representing fractional shares of the property being divided, one to have an inclusion ratio (as defined in Section 2642(a)(1) of the Code) of one (1) and the other to have an inclusion ratio of zero (0). If such a division is made, the two separate trusts shall have terms identical to the trust that has been divided, except as hereinafter specifically provided in the immediately succeeding Subarticle, and except that any right of withdrawal granted to any beneficiary over the principal of the separate trust that is exempt from the generation-skipping transfer tax shall not be exercisable until the principal of the separate trust that is not exempt from the generation-skipping transfer tax has been exhausted. (B) Notwithstanding anything hereinabove set forth with respect to a trust for any beneficiary hereunder, if any trust has been divided into two separate trusts pursuant to the immediately preceding Subarticle, in determining the amount of any discretionary principal distributions or mandatory principal distributions on reaching a stated age which may or shall be made to any beneficiary from such trusts, the Trustees shall look to the total principal held in such trusts for such beneficiary in determining the amount of any such permissible or required principal distributions, and the Grantor directs that, to the extent possible, any payment of principal to such beneficiary shall be made from any separate trust for such beneficiary that is not exempt from the generation-skipping transfer tax. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Grantor and Trustees have hereunto set their hands and seals the day and year first above written. TRACY DANIEL E.
