If the Board or the Committee has made such a delegation, then all references to the Administrator in this Plan include such other committee or one or more officers to the extent of such delegation.

To the extent permitted by law, the Committee may delegate to one or more of its members, to one or more officers of the Company, or to one or more agents or advisors, such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and the Committee, the subcommittee, or any person to whom duties or powers have been delegated as aforesaid, may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee, the subcommittee or such person may have under this Plan. The Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more officers of the Company to do one or both of the following on the same basis as the Committee: # designate employees to be recipients of awards under this Plan; and # determine the size of any such awards; provided, however, that # the Committee will not delegate such responsibilities to any such officer for awards granted to an employee who is an officer (for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act), Director, or more than 10% “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of any class of the Company’s equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act; # the resolution providing for such authorization shall set forth the total number of shares of Common Stock such officer(s) may grant; and # the officer(s) will report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and scope of the awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated.

Delegation. To the extent permitted by law, the Committee may delegate to the Secretary of the Company or other employees of the Company the duties or powers it may deem advisable to assist the Committee in the administration and operation of the Plan and may grant authority to such persons to execute documents on behalf of the Committee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more officers of the Company to do one or both of the following on the same basis as can the Committee: # designate Employees to be recipients of Awards; and # determine the size of any such Awards; provided, however, # the Committee shall not delegate such responsibilities to any such officer for Awards granted to an Employee who is considered an officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f)) of the Exchange Act; # the resolution providing such authorization sets forth the total number of Awards such officer(s) may grant; and # the officer(s) shall report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and scope of the Awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated.

The Administrator may delegate, subject to such terms or conditions or guidelines as it shall determine, to any officer or group of officers, or Director or group of Directors of the Company or its Affiliates any portion of its authority and powers under the Plan with respect to Participants who are not Executive Officers or non-employee directors of the Board; provided that any delegation to one or more officers of the Company shall be subject to and comply with applicable law.

Administrator. Unless and until the Board delegates administration to a Committee as set forth below, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees of one or more members of the Board, and the term “Committee” shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, unless otherwise determined by the Board, from and after the Public Trading Date, a Committee of the Board shall administer the Plan and the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Independent Directors each of whom is an “outside director,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, and qualifies as “independent” within the meaning of any applicable stock exchange listing requirements. Members of the Committee shall also satisfy any other legal requirements applicable to membership on the Committee, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other Applicable Laws. Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may # delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Independent Directors the authority to grant awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are either # not then “covered employees,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and are not expected to be “covered employees” at the time of recognition of income resulting from such award or # not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comely with Section 162(m) of the Code and/or # delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not “non-employee directors,” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, the authority to grant awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan. Appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment. Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board. Vacancies in the Committee may only be filled by the Board.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Board or Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant or amend Awards or to take other administrative actions pursuant to this Article 11; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by, the following individuals: # individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or # officers of the Company (or Directors) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder; provided, further, that any delegation of administrative authority shall only be permitted to the extent it is permissible under Applicable Law. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Board may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 11.6 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board and the Committee.

Delegation by Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more committees, directors, officers, and/or other employees of the Company except that any matters affecting Section 16 Persons or Executive Participants shall remain with the Committee.

Delegation. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board or the Committee may, to the extent permitted by law, delegate to # a subcommittee of the Committee, # one or more officers or managers of an Employer or # a committee of such officers or managers, the authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Board or the Committee shall determine, to grant Awards to, or to cancel, modify or waive rights with respect to, or to alter, discontinue, suspend, or terminate, Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not delegate any such authority with respect to Participants who are officers or directors of the Company for purposes of Section 16 or are otherwise subject to such Section .

Delegation of Power. The Committee may delegate some or all of its power and authority hereunder to a director or subcommittee of directors of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Human Resources Officer or other executive officer or function of the Company as the Committee deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Committee shall retain its power and authority with respect to any Participant who is an Executive Officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant shall make decisions under this Plan with respect to his or her own compensation or with respect to the compensation of any person to whom such Participant reports directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, regarding his or her own (or such report’s) Individual Award Opportunity.

The Committee may delegate to one or more officers or managers of the Company, or a committee of such officers or managers, the authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Committee shall determine, to grant Awards to, or to cancel, modify, waive rights with respect to, alter, discontinue, suspend or terminate Awards held by, employees who are not officers or directors of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers or managers of the Company, or a committee of such officers or managers, the authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Committee shall determine, authority to carry out a specified part or parts of its administrative responsibilities or ministerial functions in connection with the Plan, including but not limited to determining whether the conditions to forfeit an Award have been met. Any delegation of authority may be removed by the Committee at any time with or without cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, # any delegation to management with respect to the Plan shall conform with the requirements of the corporate law of New Jersey and with the requirements, if any, of the New York Stock Exchange, in either case as in effect from time to time, # interpretations or determinations with respect to an executive officer’s rights under an Award or the Plan shall be made by the Committee, and # if any action or direction of any person to whom authority hereunder has been delegated conflicts with an action or direction of the Committee, then the authority of the Committee shall supersede that of the delegate with respect to such action or direction. Any action taken by a person under an authorized delegation of authority in compliance with this [Section 15.2(b)] shall have the same force and effect as if taken directly by the Committee.
