|I. | PURPOSE

The
purpose of this Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated 2007 Equity
Compensation Plan for Outside Directors is to advance the interests of the
Company and its stockholders by assisting the Company in attracting and
retaining individuals of superior talent, ability and achievement to serve on
its Board of Directors.

It
is intended that the Plan will be interpreted and administered to prevent
taxation under Section 409A of the Code. Any provision of or amendment to this
Plan that would cause any amount to be taxable under Section 409A with respect
to any individual is void and without effect. Any election by any partici­pant,
and any administrative action by the Committee that would cause any amount to
be taxable under Section 409A with respect to any individual is void and
without effect under the Plan. In the event that a Participant fails to make a
Section 409A-compliant payment election, the Plans default payment provisions,
as set forth in Subsection V.G and Article VIII, shall apply. It is further
intended that the Plan will be amended in accordance with present and future
guidance issued by the Treasury Department under Section 885 of the American
Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

  a distribution to the Participant for purposes of Article V.

  form of (1) one lump-sum payment, or (2) annual distributions over a period
  selected by the Participant of up to ten years. In the event a lump-sum
  payment is made under the Plan, the amount then standing to the Participants
  credit in his/ her Stock Unit Award account shall be paid to the Participant
  on the date determined under Section V.B. In the case of a distribution over

  account by the number of installments remaining to be paid. If a Participant
  does not make an election as to the manner of distribution of his or her
  Stock Unit Award account, such distribution shall be made in the form of a

| |    | by notice
  filed with the Company, make changes of distribution elections with respect
  to prior deferred compensation as long as (A) any such new distribution
  election is made at least one year prior to the date that the commencement of
  the distribution would otherwise have occurred and (B) the revised
  commencement date is at least five years later than the date that the
  commencement of the distribution would otherwise have occurred; provided that
  such an election may not defer payment beyond the later of the January
  following the Participants 72nd birthday or the Participants
  termination of service as a director. For the purposes of this subsection
  V.E, if a Participant has elected a distribution in installments, each
  installment shall be deemed a separate election.

| | F. | Notwithstanding
  any other provision of the Plan, if the Board, by vote of the Outside
  Directors, other than the Participant making the claim, shall determine in
  its sole discretion that the time of payment of a Participants Stock Unit
  Award account should be advanced because of protracted illness or other undue
  hardship, then the Board may advance the time or times of payment (whether
  before or after the date of Participants termination of service as a
  Director) of an amount or amounts needed to meet the emergency in accordance
  with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated
  thereunder.

| | G. | Distribution
  in Case of Certain Tax Events  If, with respect to
  any Participant, the Plan fails to meet the requirements of the Code with
  respect to the deferral of tax liability, the Company may accelerate
  distribution from a Participants Account amounts sufficient to meet such
  Participants resulting Federal, State, Local and/or Foreign tax liability
  (including any interest and penalties).

| | A. | Unless the
  shares of Common Stock to be distributed pursuant to the Plan have been
  registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
  Act prior to issuance, the Participant receiving such shares must represent
  in writing to the Company that such shares of Common Stock are being acquired
  for investment purposes only and not with a view towards the further resale
  or distribution thereof and must supply to the Company such other
  documentation as may be required by the Company, unless in the opinion of
  counsel to the Company such representation, agreement or documentation is not
  necessary to comply with the Securities Act.

  applicable. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such listing,
  qualification and compliance.

| | C. | The
  Committee may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem
  necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes that the Company is
  required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether
  federal, state or local, domestic or foreign, to withhold in connection with
  the award of Stock Units or the distribution of any Common Stock, including,
  but not limited to (i) the withholding of delivery of certificates for shares
  of Common Stock until the Participant reimburses the Company for the amount
  the Company is required to withhold with respect to such taxes, (ii) the
  canceling of any number of shares of Common Stock issuable in an amount
  sufficient to reimburse the Company for the amount it is required to so
  withhold or (iii) withholding the amount due from any such Participants
  other compensation.

|VII. | ADMINISTRATION

The
Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall establish rules and
regulations regarding the administration and operation of the Plan.

|VIII. | TERMINATION, MODIFICATION AND AMENDMENT

Although
the Company anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period
of time, there is no guarantee that the Company will continue the Plan or will
not terminate the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, the Company, by
the Board of Directors, reserves the right to discontinue its sponsorship of
the Plan or to terminate the Plan (or both), at any time, by the action of the
Board of Directors. In general, upon the termination of the Plan, the affected
Participants shall receive payment of their benefits in accordance with the
terms of Article V. However, the Company may, in its discretion, terminate the
entire Plan and pay each Participant a single lump-sum distribution of his or
her entire Account Balance, in the event that the Company satisfies any of the
following:

(a)
such distributions are made between 12 and 24 months following the termination
of the Plan, and the Company does not adopt a new plan which would be
aggregated with this Plan under IRS guidance under Code Section 409A at any
time within the five years following the Plan termination.

(b)
the Plan is terminated within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following
a Change in Control, all payments are made within 12 months of the date of
termination, and all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the
Company are terminated as well.

(c)
the Plan is terminated within 12 months of a corporate dissolution, as defined
in IRS guidance under Code Section 409A, and lump sum payments are made in the
