Company’s equity and enhancement of long-term shareholder return.

The Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings. One-third of the entire
Committee, or two members, whichever is greater, shall constitute a quorum
thereof and the acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting of the
Committee at which a quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by the
entire Committee, shall be the acts of the Committee.

Within the limits of the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
have the authority, subject to such orders or resolutions, not inconsistent with
the provisions of the Plan, as may from time to time be issued or adopted by the
Board of Directors, in its discretion to determine the individuals to whom, and
the time or times at which, Awards shall be granted, the type of Award grants,
the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to each Award, the
limitations, restrictions and conditions applicable to each Award grant, the
terms and provisions of agreements that may be entered into in connection with
Award grants (which need not be identical), to interpret the Plan, to prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and to make all
other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan.

In making its determinations relating to Award grants, the Committee may consult

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Eligibility.

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine and
designate, from time to time, those Employees who will be granted one or more
Awards under the Plan, and who thereby will become “Participants” in the Plan.

 

  (A) In determining eligibility to receive an Award, as well as in determining
the type and amount of the Award to any Participant, the Committee shall
consider the position and responsibilities of the Employee being considered, the
nature and value to the Company or a Subsidiary of such Employee’s services and
accomplishments, such Employee’s present and potential contribution to the
success of the Company or its Subsidiaries and such other factors as the
Committee may deem relevant.

 

  (B) The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or for provision of
other services, and selection as a Participant will not give any Participant or
other individual the right to be retained in the employ of or continue to
provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary or give any Participant or
other individual any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such
right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan, nor shall
the Plan in any way interfere with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to
terminate the employment or services of any Participant or other individual at
any time.

 

  (C) Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of
participation in the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or
property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including, without
limitation, any specific funds, assets or other property which the Company or
any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a
liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to
the Common Stock or amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any
assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall
constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be
sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

 

  (D) Awards need not be uniform among Participants. The receipt of an Award by
a Participant shall not entitle that Participant to receive an Award in the
future.

6. Shares Available.

The type and number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be granted
under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with this Section 6:

 

  (A)

The shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the
Plan shall be shares authorized but unissued or currently held or shares

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

reacquired by the Company and held as treasury shares, including shares
purchased in the open market or in private transactions, all at the time of the
Award.

 

  (B) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 herein, the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock available for issuance to Participants under the Plan
(the “Share Authorization”) shall be the 12,975,150 authorized shares of Common
Stock not issued or subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans as of
the Effective Date and (b) any shares of Common Stock subject to the 8,864,265
outstanding awards as of the Effective Date under the Prior Plans that on or
after the Effective Date cease for any reason to be subject to such awards
(other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they
are exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares), up to an
aggregate maximum of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

  (C) Subject to Section 13, the following additional maximums are imposed under
the Plan:

 

  (1) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued by Options
intended to be Incentive Options shall be one million (1,000,000) shares.

 

  (2) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued by Options
that are not intended to be Incentive Options shall be, in the aggregate, fifty
percent (50%) of the total shares reserved for Awards pursuant to paragraph
(B) above.

 

  (3) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued in
conjunction with Awards granted pursuant to Section 9 (relating to Other Stock
Awards) and Section 10 (relating to Performance Shares) shall be, in the
aggregate, fifty percent (50%) of the total shares reserved for Awards pursuant
to paragraph (B) above.

 

  (4) The maximum number of shares that may be covered by Awards granted to any
one individual pursuant to this Plan shall be one million (1,000,000) shares
during any 36 month period.

 

  (5)

For Cash Awards that are intended to be “performance-based compensation” (within
the meaning of regulations under Code section 162(m)), the maximum Awards
payable in cash to any one individual for a 36-month performance period shall
not exceed ten million dollars ($10,000,000). Such maximum shall be reduced
proportionately in the case of a performance period of less than 36 months and
shall be increased proportionately for a performance period of longer than 36
months (but no further adjustment shall be made in the case of a performance
period of greater than 60 months). If, after an amount has been earned with
respect

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to a Cash Award, the delivery of such amount is deferred pursuant to
Section 7(B), any additional amount attributable to earnings during the deferral
period shall be disregarded for purposes of this limitation.

 

  (D) Shares of Common Stock covered by an Award shall only be counted as used
to the extent they are actually issued and delivered to a Participant, or, if
permitted by the Committee, a Participant’s designated transferee. Any shares of
Common Stock related to Awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture,
cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance, are settled in cash in lieu of
shares, or are exchanged with the Committee’s permission, prior to the issuance
of the Common Stock, for Awards not involving shares of Common Stock, shall be
available again for grant under the Plan. Moreover, if the Exercise Price of any
Option granted under the Plan or the tax withholding requirements with respect
to any Award granted under the Plan are satisfied by tendering shares of Common
Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), or if an SAR
is exercised, only the number of shares of Common Stock issued, net of the
shares tendered, if any, will be deemed delivered for purposes of determining
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the
Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under
the Plan shall not be reduced to reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents
that are reinvested into additional shares or credited as additional Restricted
Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, or Other Stock-Based Awards.

7. Awards.

The Committee shall have full and complete authority, in its discretion, subject
to the provisions of the Plan, to grant Awards to Participants consisting of
Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, Performance
Shares, Cash Awards or any combination thereof, as more fully described in
Sections 8 through 10, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee
deems appropriate. Awards may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem so
that the settlement or payment of one automatically reduces or cancels the
other. Awards may also be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement
of, as alternatives to, or as the payment form for, grants or rights under any
other compensation plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, including the plan of
any acquired entity. The Committee may permit or require that any Award be
prorated to the date of any termination of employment.

 

  (A) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

The Committee may provide that Awards denominated in Common Stock earn dividends
or dividend equivalents. Such dividend equivalents may be paid currently in cash
or shares of Common Stock or may be credited to an account established by the
Committee under the Plan in the name of the Participant. In addition, dividends
or dividend equivalents paid on outstanding awards or issued shares may be
credited to such account rather than paid currently. Any crediting

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of dividends or dividend equivalents may be subject to such restrictions and
conditions as the Committee may establish, including reinvestment in additional
shares or share equivalents.

 

  (B) Deferrals

The Committee may require or permit participants to elect to defer the issuance
of shares or the settlement of awards in cash under such rules and procedures as
it may establish under the Plan. It may also provide that deferred settlements
include the payment or crediting of interest on the deferral amounts, conversion
of deferred amounts into deferred Common Stock equivalents, or the payment or
crediting of dividend equivalents on deferred settlements denominated in shares.

 

  (C) Settlements

Settlement of Awards may be in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other
Awards, or in such combinations thereof as the Committee shall determine at the
time of grant, and with such restrictions as it may impose.

8. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.

The Committee may grant Options containing such terms and conditions as shall be
requisite, in the judgment of the Committee, to constitute either Incentive
Options or Non-Statutory Options. Non-Statutory Options shall be identified as
such in the Award Grant. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights
either (i) independently of Options or (ii) in tandem with Options such that the
exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right with respect to a share of
Common Stock cancels the tandem Stock Appreciation Right or Option,
respectively, with respect to such share. The grant of each Option or Stock
Appreciation Right shall be confirmed in writing by an Award Grant in the form
prescribed by the Committee.

 

  (A) Exercise Price.

At the time an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is granted, the Committee
shall determine the Exercise Price. Except for adjustments as provided in
Section 13, the Exercise Price for any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation
Right may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may any outstanding
Option or Stock Appreciation Right be surrendered to the Company as
consideration for the grant of a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a
lower Exercise Price.

 

  (B) Exercise Period.

Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall be
exercisable during such period and under such circumstances as the Committee
shall determine, subject to the following rules:

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (1) An Option or Stock Appreciation Right must be exercised prior to the
Expiration Date.

 

  (2) Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall become exercisable upon the
occurance of a Change in Control unless it is replaced by an award of equivalent
value provided by the continuing entity, which replacement award vests not later
than the outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right and, to the extent not
previously vested, vests in full in the event the Participant’s employment is
involuntarily terminated, other than for Cause, within eighteen months following
the Change in Control whether or not otherwise then exercisable under the
provisions of the applicable Award Grant relating thereto.

 

  (3) The effect of a Participant’s cessation of performance of services as an
Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary shall be as follows:

 

  (i) Retirement. If cessation of performance of services as an Employee is the
result of Retirement, the Participant may exercise any outstanding Option or
Stock Appreciation Right that had become exercisable under the terms of the
applicable Award Grant prior to the Date of Termination before the Expiration
Date.

 

  (ii) Death. If a Participant dies while the Participant is continuing to
perform services as an Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary or during the
period following Retirement and before the Expiration Date, the Successor may
exercise the Participant’s Options or Stock Appreciation Rights at any time
prior to the Expiration Date, whether or not such Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights were exercisable on the date of the Participant’s death under the
applicable Award Grant.

 

  (iii) Disability. If the Committee determines that a Participant ceased to
perform services as an Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary because of
Disability, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant on
the Date of Termination may be exercised (whether or not such Option or Stock
Appreciation Right was exercisable on the Date of Termination under the
provisions of the Award Grant relating thereto) at any time prior to the
Expiration Date.

 

  (iv)

Involuntary Termination without Cause. If the Participant ceases to perform
services as an Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary involuntarily without
Cause, the Participant may exercise any

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right which was vested on the Date of
Termination at any time before the Expiration Date.

 

  (v) Involuntary Termination for Cause. If the Participant ceases to perform
services as an Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary involuntarily for Cause,
any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant
shall be immediately cancelled.

 

  (vi) Other Termination. If the Participant ceases to perform services for the
Company or a Subsidiary for any reason other than as set forth in subparagraphs
(i) through (v) above, any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right held
by such Participant shall be immediately cancelled.

 

  (C) Exercise Procedures.

Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan may be exercised
to the extent exercisable, in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise
Period, for such number of shares as shall be prescribed by the provisions of
the Award Grant evidencing such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, provided
that:

 

  (1) An Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by the Participant
or a Successor only by written notice (in the form prescribed by the Committee)
to the Company specifying the number of shares to which such notice applies.

 

  (2) The aggregate Exercise Price of the shares as to which an Option may be
exercised shall be, in the discretion of the Committee, (a) paid in U.S. funds
by any one or any combination of the following: cash, (including check, draft or
wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company), or delivery of Common
Stock certificates endorsed in blank or accompanied by executed stock powers
with signatures guaranteed by a national bank or trust company or a member of a
national securities exchange evidencing shares of Common Stock which have been
held for more than six months, whose value shall be deemed to be the Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise of such Common Stock, or (b) deemed to be paid in
full provided the notice of the exercise of an Option is accompanied by a copy
of irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the
amount of sale or loan proceeds sufficient to cover the Exercise Price or
(c) paid upon such terms and conditions, including provision for securing the
payment of the same, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall provide.

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (3) As soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of notice of exercise
and of payment in full of the Exercise Price of the shares with respect to which
an Option has been exercised, a certificate or certificates representing such
shares shall be registered in the name or names of the Participant or Successor
and shall be delivered to the Participant, Participant’s agent or Successor. If
any part of the Exercise Price is paid on a deferred basis (to the extent such
deferral is permitted by the Committee), the shares for which payment has been
deferred shall be registered in the name of the Participant or Successor but the
certificate or certificates representing such shares shall not be delivered to
the Participant or Successor until the Exercise Price for such shares has been
paid in full.

 

  (D) Special Rules Relating to Incentive Options.

 

  (1) No Incentive Option may be granted to an individual who is not an Employee
of the Company or a Subsidiary.

 

  (2) The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is
granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Options are
exercisable for the first time during any calendar year by an Employee under all
plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not exceed the greater of
$100,000 or such sum as may from time to time be permitted under Code section
422.

9. Other Stock Awards.

The Committee may make Awards consisting of Restricted Stock or Stock Units
containing such terms and conditions, and subject to such restrictions and
contingencies as the Committee shall determine, subject to the provisions of the
Plan. Unless otherwise authorized by the Committee, as a condition of receiving
an Award consisting of Restricted Stock, a Participant must waive in writing the
right to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to report the value of
the Restricted Stock as income on the Date of Grant. If the right to become
vested in a Restricted Stock Award granted under this Section 9 is conditioned
on the completion of a specified period of service as an Employee with the
Company or the Subsidiaries, without achievement of Performance Measures or
other performance objectives being required as a condition of vesting, and
without it being granted in lieu of other compensation or to replace forfeited
awards from a prior service recipient, then, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee and set forth in a Participant’s Award Grant, the required period of
service for full vesting shall be not less than three years, subject to
acceleration of vesting in the following circumstances:

(A) to the extent permitted by the Committee, in the event of the Participant’s
Retirement, death, Disability, or termination by the Company without Cause;

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) in the event of a Change in Control, unless such Award is replaced by an
award of equivalent value provided by the continuing entity which replacement
award vests not later than the replaced Award and, to the extent not previously
vested, vests in full in the event of any involuntary cessation of performance
of services for the continuing entity within 18 months following the Change in
Control (other than involuntary termination for Cause).

10. Performance Awards.

The Committee may make Awards consisting of Performance Shares, containing such
terms and conditions, and subject to such restrictions and contingencies as the
Committee shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan. Performance
Awards shall be conditioned on the achievement of Performance Goals, based on
one or more Performance Measures, as determined by the Committee, over a
performance period (not less than one year) prescribed by the Committee. For
Awards under this Section 10 intended to be “performance-based compensation”
within the meaning of regulations under Code section 162(m), the grant of the
Awards and the performance goals shall be made during the period required under
Code section 162(m). In the event that a Change in Control occurs after a
Performance Award has been granted but before completion of the performance
period, a pro rata portion of such Award shall become payable as of the date of
the Change in Control to the extent otherwise earned on the basis of achievement
of the pro rata portion of the Performance Goals relating to the portion of the
performance period completed as of the date of the Change in Control. Unless
otherwise directed by the Committee, as a condition of receiving an Award
consisting of Performance Shares, a Participant must waive in writing the right
to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to report the value of the
Performance Shares as income on the Date of Grant.

11. Non-Transferability.

Unless otherwise designated by the Committee to the contrary, each Award granted
under the Plan shall by its terms be non-transferable by the Participant (except
by will or the laws of descent and distribution). An Option or Stock
Appreciation Right shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only
by the Participant, his or her guardian or legal representative or by such other
means as the Committee may approve from time to time that is not inconsistent
with or contrary to the provisions of either Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act
or Rule 16b-3, as either may be amended from time to time, or any law, rule,
regulation or other provision that may hereafter replace such Rule. A
Participant may also designate a beneficiary to exercise his or her Awards after
the Participant’s death. The Committee may amend outstanding Awards to provide
for transfer, without payment of consideration, to immediate family members of
the Participant or to trusts or partnerships for such family members.

12. Listing and Registration of Shares and Restrictions on Shares.

If at any time the Board of Directors shall determine, in its discretion, that
the listing, registration or qualification of any of the shares subject to
Awards under the Plan upon any securities

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in
connection with the purchase or issue of shares thereunder, no outstanding
Awards which would result in the purchase or issuance of shares may be exercised
or otherwise settled unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent
or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Board of Directors or the Committee. The Board of Directors or
the Committee may require any Participant to make such representations and
furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the
issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with applicable law and shall
have the authority to cause the Company at its expense to take any action
related to the Plan which may be required in connection with such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval.

The Committee may impose such restrictions on any shares acquired pursuant to
Restricted Stock Awards as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
restrictions to comply with applicable Federal securities laws, with the
requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such shares are then
listed and/or traded and with any blue sky or state securities laws applicable
to such shares.

Certificates representing shares subject to Restricted Stock Awards may bear a
legend substantially as follows:

“The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this
certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject
to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Public Service
Enterprise Group Incorporated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and in an award
document. A copy of such Plan and award documents may be obtained from Public
Service Enterprise Group Incorporated.”

The Company shall have the right to retain certificates of shares that are
subject to Restricted Stock Awards until such time as all restrictions
applicable to such shares have been satisfied. Shares subject to Restricted
Stock Awards shall become freely transferrable (subject to applicable laws and
Company imposed trading restrictions), and legends on share certificates shall
be removed, once all restrictions applicable to such shares have been satisfied.

The Committee may require Participants to execute stock powers or other similar
instruments in order to facilitate the return to the Company of shares upon
forfeiture of Restricted Stock Awards.

13. Adjustments.

The Committee may make such adjustments as it deems appropriate to meet the
intent of the Plan in the event of changes that impact the Company’s share price
or share status, provided that any such actions are consistently and equitably
applicable to all affected Participants and provided, further, that no such
adjustment shall be made to Awards to Covered Employees if it would cause

 

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such Awards to no longer qualify as “performance-based compensation” for
purposes of Code section 162(m).

In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of
shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off or other distribution (other than normal
cash dividends) of Company assets to shareholders, or any other change affecting
shares, such adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion may deem
appropriate to reflect such change shall be made with respect to (i) the
aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan or that may be
subject to Awards of a specified type and/or to any individual; (ii) the number
of shares covered by outstanding Awards to any individual under the Plan; and/or
(iii) the applicable price per share with respect to any outstanding Options,
Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards under the Plan.

14. Tax Withholding.

Delivery of any cash, shares, dividends or any other benefits under the Plan is
subject to withholding of applicable taxes. The Committee unilaterally or by
arrangement with the Participant or Successor shall make appropriate provision
for satisfaction of withholding taxes in the case of any transaction under the
Plan, which gives rise to a withholding requirement. The Committee, in its
discretion, and subject to such requirements as the Committee may impose prior
to the occurrence of such withholding, may permit such withholding obligations
to be satisfied through cash payment by the Participant, through the surrender
of shares of Common Stock which the Participant already owns and which have been
held for more than six months, or (to the extent of minimum statutory
withholding requirements) through withholding of shares of Common Stock to which
the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan.

15. Amendments and Termination.

The Board of Directors may amend this Plan as it shall deem advisable, except
that the Board of Directors may not, without further approval of the
shareholders of the Company, (a) increase the total number of shares of Common
Stock which may be issued under the Plan as set forth in Section 6(B) or the
maximum number of shares that may be issued, as Awards pursuant to Sections 8
through 10, to any individual, or (b) change the class of individuals eligible
for Awards. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, terminate this Plan
at any time. No amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent
to the amendment or termination by the affected Participant (or, if the
Participant is not then living, the affected Successor), adversely affect the
rights of any Participant or Successor under any Award granted under the Plan
prior to the date such amendment or termination is effective, provided that
adjustments pursuant to Section 13 are not subject to such limitation. Subject
to the foregoing and the requirements of Code section 162(m), the Board of
Directors may without further action on the part of the shareholders of the
Company or the consent of Participants, amend the Plan to preserve the Company’s
tax deduction under Code section 162(m).

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16. Foreign Jurisdictions.

The Committee may, from time to time, adopt, amend, and terminate under the Plan
such arrangements, not inconsistent with the intent of the Plan, as it may deem
necessary or desirable, to make available tax or other benefits of laws of any
foreign jurisdiction to Participants who are subject to such laws and who
receive Awards under the Plan.

17. Compliance with Code section 162(m).

With respect to Covered Employees, transactions under the Plan are intended to
avoid loss of the deduction referred to in paragraph (1) of Code section 162(m).
Anything in the Plan or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent
any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee would result in the loss of
such deduction, it shall be deemed null and void as relates to Covered
Employees, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

18. Notices.

All notices under the Plan shall be in writing, and if to the Company, shall be
delivered to the Secretary of the Company or mailed to its principal office, 80
Park Plaza, Newark, New Jersey 07102, addressed to the attention of the
Secretary; and if to the Participant, shall be delivered personally or mailed to
the Participant at the address appearing in the payroll records of the Company
or Subsidiary or, if applicable, to the Participant’s Successor at the last
known address appearing in the records of the Company. Such addresses may be
changed at any time by written notice to the other party.

19. General.

Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein
shall also include the feminine; the singular shall include the plural and the
plural shall include the singular.

The titles and headings of the sections of the Plan are for convenience of
reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather
than such titles or headings, shall control.

If any part of the Plan is declared to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness
or invalidity shall not invalidate any other part of the Plan. Any part of the
Plan so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a
manner that will give effect to the terms of such part to the fullest extent
possible while remaining lawful and valid.

The provisions of the Plan shall take precedence over any conflicting provision
contained in an Award. All matters relating to the Plan or an Award granted
hereunder shall, to the extent not

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

preempted by Federal law, be governed and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New Jersey, without regard to the principles of conflict of
laws.

The Plan and Award Grants shall be binding on Successors and on successors to
the Company, whether the existence of such successor to the Company is the
result of a direct or indirect purchase of all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company, or a merger, consolidation, or otherwise.
