                      RETIREMENT INCOME REINSTATEMENT PLAN
                        FOR NON-REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES OF
         PUBLIC SERVICE ENTERPRISE GROUP INCORPORATED AND ITS AFFILIATES

     Public Service Electric and Gas Company previously established effective
January 1, 1995, and currently maintains the Retirement Income Reinstatement
Plan for Non-Represented Employees of Public Service Electric and Gas Company
and its Affiliates. Effective December 13, 1999, Public Service Electric and Gas
Company transferred sponsorship of the plan to Public Service Enterprise Group
Incorporated (the "Company") and renamed the plan the "Retirement Income
Reinstatement Plan for Non-Represented Employees of Public Service Enterprise
Group Incorporated and its Affiliates" (the "Plan"). Furthermore, effective as
of January 1, 2000, the plan is hereby amended as set forth in this document.
This Plan was established for the purpose of assisting in attracting and
retaining a stable pool of key managerial and professional talent and long-term
key employee commitment by providing certain supplemental retirement benefits
for certain of their employees who participate in the Pension Plan of Public
Service Enterprise Group Incorporated or the Cash Balance Pension Plan of Public
Service Enterprise Group Incorporated. This Plan is intended to constitute an
unfunded "excess benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(36) of ERISA, to the
extent it provides benefits that would be paid under the Pension Plan of Public
Service Enterprise Group Incorporated or the Cash Balance Pension Plan of Public
Service Enterprise Group Incorporated but for the limitations of Section 415 of
the Code, and an unfunded plan of deferred compensation for a select group of
management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title 1 of ERISA, to
the extent it provides other benefits.

Participant or Surviving Spouse in a single lump sum in lieu of any further
benefit payments hereunder.

     8.8 Actuarial assumptions to determine the present value of any benefit
hereunder shall be the same as used to determine the present value of benefits
under the Pension Plan or the Cash Balance Plan, as the case may be.

     8.9 If any person entitled to a benefit payment under this Plan is deemed
by the Committee to be incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid
receipt for such payment, then, unless and until claim therefor shall have been
made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of such person,
the Committee may provide for such payment or any part thereof to be made to any
other person or institution then contributing toward or providing for the care
and maintenance of such person. Any such payment shall be a payment for the
account of such person and a complete discharge of any liability of the Company
and this Plan therefor.

     8.10 The Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
Company, its successors and assigns, including but not limited to any
corporation which may acquire all or substantially all of the Company's assets
or businesses or with or into or which the Company may be consolidated or
merged.

     8.11 Each Participant shall keep the Company informed of his current
address and the current address of his spouse. The Company shall not be
obligated to search for the whereabouts of any person. If the location of a
Participant is not made known to the Company within three (3) years after the
date on which payment of the Participant's Supplemental Retirement Benefit may
first be made, payment may be made as though the Participant had died at the end
of the three-year period. If, within one additional year after such three-year
period has elapsed, or,

within three years after the actual death of a Participant, the Company is
unable to locate any Surviving Spouse of the Participant, then the Company shall
have no further obligation to pay any benefit hereunder to such Participant or
Surviving Spouse or any other person and such benefit shall be irrevocably
forfeited.

     8.12 Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of this Plan, none of
the Company, the Committee or any individual acting as an employee or agent of
the Company or the Committee shall be liable to any Participant, former
Participant, Surviving Spouse or any other person for any claim, loss, liability
or expense incurred in connection with this Plan.
