EXPLANATORY NOTE
As described in New Plans Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 20, 2007 (the 8-K), on February 27, 2007, New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. (New Plan), and Excel Realty Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership in which New Plan, through a wholly owned subsidiary, is the general partner, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Super IntermediateCo LLC (IntermediateCo), Super MergerSub Inc. (MergerSub), and Super DownREIT MergerSub LLC (Super REIT MergerSub and together with IntermediateCo and MergerSub, the Buyer Parties). The Buyer Parties are affiliates of Centro Properties Group, an Australian publicly traded real estate company (Centro). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MergerSub commenced and completed a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), of New Plan at a price of $33.15 per share, net to the holders thereof, in cash (the Offer Price). The tender offer, as supplemented by a subsequent offering period, expired at 12:00 midnight, New York city time, on Wednesday, April 18, 2007. On April 19, 2007, MergerSub exercised its top-up option pursuant to the Merger Agreement to acquire additional shares of Common Stock from New Plan at purchase price equal to the Offer Price per share.
On April 20, 2007, New Plan and the Buyer Parties completed the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, MergerSub merged with and into New Plan (the Merger), with New Plan surviving the Merger. As more fully described in the 8-K, in connection with the Merger, among other things, each share of Common Stock (other than shares held by New Plan or any subsidiary of New Plan or by MergerSub) was converted into the right to receive the same $33.15 in cash per share as was paid in the Offer, without interest. As a result of the Merger, New Plan became a wholly owned subsidiary of IntermediateCo and any stockholder who held shares of Common Stock prior to the Merger ceased to be a stockholder effective as of the Merger. In connection with the tender offer and the Merger, eight of eleven New Plan directors resigned effective as of April 5, 2007, and the remaining three directors resigned effective as of April 20, 2007 (the Original Directors). Consequently, none of the Original Directors holds any position with IntermediateCo.
Immediately following the Merger, on April 20, 2007, New Plan, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, was liquidated (the Liquidation), and in connection with the Liquidation, all of New Plans assets were transferred to, and all of its liabilities were assumed by, IntermediateCo. As a result of the Merger and Liquidation, New Plan filed a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 pursuant to which it terminated its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), with respect to its Common Stock and 7.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.
In connection with the Merger, IntermediateCo, New Plan Realty Trust, LLC and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (the Trustee), entered into supplemental indentures to each of New Plans three indentures that governed numerous classes of debt securities that New Plan had issued and which debt securities remained issued and outstanding after the Merger (collectively, the Notes). The supplemental indentures each provided for the assumption by IntermediateCo of all of the obligations of New Plan with respect to the Notes outstanding under the indentures effective upon consummation of the Merger.
IntermediateCo, as the successor obligor on the Notes, intends to continue to file with the SEC any annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to the indentures governing the Notes or pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Consequently, IntermediateCo is filing this Amendment to New Plans Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (this Amendment) that was previously filed on February 26, 2007 solely for the purpose of providing the information required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of Form 10-K (the Original 10-K) not previously provided by New Plan in the Original 10-K. Such information was to be incorporated by reference from New Plans definitive proxy statement in connection with New Plans 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. However, due to the Merger, New Plan will not be holding its 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will not file its definitive proxy statement within 120 days following the end of its fiscal year. In accordance
i
with rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, IntermediateCo is filing this Amendment to include the disclosures required by Part III of Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Except as otherwise indicated, all information provided in under Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of this Amendment is as of a date or date specified herein and, in all cases, prior to the closings of the tender offer, the Merger and the other related transactions described above (collectively, the Transactions) and pertain to New Plan prior to the consummation of the Transactions. Therefore, all references to New Plan, the Company, us, we, or our in this Amendment (other than in this Explanatory Note) refer to New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the closings of the Transactions. In certain limited circumstances, information provided in this Amendment pertains to IntermediateCo. Accordingly, all references to IntermediateCo refer to Super IntermediateCo LLC, as the successor registrant to New Plan as a result of the Transactions.

Rufrano, Roche, Siegel, Carroll, Brumberg and Bernstein are set forth above under Executive Officers and Directors of New Plan.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 that they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, and/or on written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file a Form 5 for the fiscal year, we believe that our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during 2006. Mr. Michael Carroll, Executive Vice President Real Estate Operations of the Company, inadvertently failed to timely file a Form 4 with respect to the acquisition of 3,000 shares of common stock of the Company resulting from a partial exercise of stock options in January 2007. A report was filed promptly upon the discovery of this oversight.
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE
Prior to the Transactions, New Plan maintained an audit committee, and its Board of Directors had determined that Irwin Engelman was an audit committee financial expert as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
4
IntermediateCo does not maintain an audit committee at this time nor does it have, as previously discussed above, a board of directors, board of managers or other similar governing body. It is currently expected that the executive officers of IntermediateCo will oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of financial statements of IntermediateCo.
CODE OF ETHICS
Prior to the Transactions, New Plan maintained a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applied to all of our employees, officers and directors and met the requirements for such code as set forth in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. It also had adopted a Code of Ethics for Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers which met the requirements of a code of ethics as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
IntermediateCo has not yet adopted similar codes due to the recent nature of the consummation of the Transactions. IntermediateCo intends to evaluate and consider whether to adopt such a code of ethics.
DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS BY SECURITYHOLDERS
Prior to the Transactions, New Plan maintained a corporate governance and nominating committee that, among other things, considered all persons recommended by New Plans stockholders in the same manner as all other director candidates and established procedures by which interested stockholders who wished to submit qualified candidates may do so. IntermediateCo does not maintain such a committee or such procedures due to the fact that it is wholly owned by Super LLC.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
References in this discussion to the Committee are references to the Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The discussion below discusses various matters relating to the compensation of the Companys named executive officers (i.e., the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers) and applies generally to compensation decisions made with respect to all of the Companys executive officers prior to the consummation of the Transactions.
Objectives of the Companys Compensation Policies and Programs
The Company implements compensation policies and programs that seek to enhance stockholder value by aligning closely the financial interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders. Our overall objectives are:
to establish compensation programs that attract and retain the best possible executive talent,
to motivate these executives to achieve the goals inherent in our business strategy through a combination of cash compensation and long-term incentive compensation, in the form of equity incentive-based awards,
to align executive and stockholder interests through performance goals and equity incentive-based awards, and
to provide a compensation package that recognizes individual contributions as well as overall business results.
5
Our policies and programs are designed to provide compensation that is commensurate with the responsibilities imposed on named executive officers, and also to reward superior performance by those executive officers.
In implementing our compensation policies, we strive to ensure that our named executive officers are compensated fairly in relation to compensation packages provided for executives with comparable positions and responsibilities at comparable public REITs, taking into account variables such as the cost of living where those companies are located as compared to New York City as well as the fact that our named executive officers may have opportunities with other companies in the New York City metropolitan area.
How Compensation Decisions are Made
The Committee is charged with reviewing and assessing the broad compensation policies, practices and structures for the compensation of executive officers, including the Companys corporate goals and objectives with respect to the compensation of executive officers, and evaluating the performance of the Companys executive officers. The Committee then determines and approves, subject to the approval of a majority of the Companys independent directors (including the members of the Committee), the appropriate level and structure of compensation, including base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation awards and any special or supplemental benefits, for the Companys executive officers.
In fulfilling its responsibilities in 2006, the Committee retained an outside compensation consultant to assist it. The Committee also took into account the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.
Elements of Executive Compensation
In 2006, the components of our executive compensation program consisted of:
base salary,
short-term incentive compensation, in the form of an annual cash bonus, and
long-term incentive compensation, in the form of restricted stock awards, stock options and an out-performance compensation plan.
The Companys primary focus is on the total compensation received by a named executive officer. While each of these three categories of compensation is reviewed by the Committee separately and at different times (for example, decisions with respect to 2006 base salaries were made in February 2006, while decisions with respect annual bonus and long-term incentive compensation based on 2006 performance were made in February 2007), the three components are integrally linked, as the Committee reviews each category in light of its relationship to the total compensation that we believe our named executive officers should receive.
Base Salary
Base salaries are intended to provide our named executive officers with a fixed and certain amount of compensation for services provided. The Committee determines the base salary level of each of our named executive officers by evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the experience of the individual. Base salaries for named executive officers typically are set in February or March, effective for the ensuing 12 months.
Each of our named executive officers has entered into an employment agreement with the Company. In each case, the terms of the employment agreement do not permit the base salary of the executive to be reduced during the term of the agreement. Thus, each named executive officers prior years salary effectively serves as a minimum requirement for the named executive officers salary for the ensuing year. The Committee has complete discretion to determine whether an increase in a named executive officers base salary is merited, taking into account the performance of the Company and of the named executive officer, the factors set forth above and also taking into account changed responsibilities and other matters that the Committee deems appropriate.

We established base salaries for 2006 for our named executive officers in February 2006, effective February 28, 2006. In establishing 2006 salaries, as a starting point the Committee took into account the fact that, on a company-wide basis, salaries were increased by approximately 3-4% over 2005 levels. In addition, prior to establishing base salaries for 2006, the Committee engaged an outside compensation consultant (The Schonbraun Group) to assemble data regarding total compensation paid to executive officers by comparable companies. The consultant provided the Committee with comparisons of base salaries, bonuses, long-term incentive compensation and total compensation paid to executive officers by several peer groups of other public REITs. The report provided information with respect to the following 4 peer groups: (i) a retail peer group; (ii) a geographic peer group; (iii) an implied equity market capitalization peer group; and (iv) a combined peer group including all of the above companies. The peer companies used were as follows:

In connection with the base salary review process, the Committee reviewed information relating to the Company and each individual named executive officer, including the Companys overall 2005 performance, with particular focus on growth in funds from operations and total return to stockholders, both on an absolute basis and in comparison to the NAREIT composite index and the NAREIT shopping center index, an analysis of each named executive officers salary, bonus and long-term incentive compensation for each of the past three years, a competitive compensation analysis prepared by the Committees compensation consultant as described above and the consultants summary of findings, a self-evaluation form prepared by each named executive officer with respect to the accomplishment of individual goals, and the Chief Executive Officers recommendations with respect to base salary for each named executive officer (excluding himself). In considering base salary determinations, the Committee specifically took into account the total compensation to be paid to the named executive officer, including base salary, the bonus to be paid to such individual with respect to 2005 performance and long-term incentive compensation to be awarded to such individual with respect to 2005.
After reviewing and considering the foregoing information, the Committee then determined base salaries for our named executive officers on an individual-by-individual basis. The base salaries were then approved by the Companys independent directors without change. The named executive officers received increases in base salary for 2006 ranging from 0% to 5%, as set forth in the table below:

Mr. Rufranos salary was not increased over 2005 because the Committees general view is that adjustments in Mr. Rufranos compensation are best made through increases (or decreases) in long-term compensation (i.e., bonuses and incentive award grants).
Short-Term Incentive Compensation Annual Bonus
The Committee annually determines whether to award an annual cash bonus to our named executive officers. Cash bonuses are provided because we believe that a combination of cash and non-cash incentive compensation (i.e., stock option and restricted stock grants) best motivates our executive officers, as some portion of their incentive compensation can be immediately realized.
The amount of each named executive officers bonus is at the discretion of the Committee and the amounts paid are based on a number of objective and subjective factors, including the overall performance of the Company, particularly as it relates to growth in funds from operations and in total return to stockholders, both on an absolute basis and in comparison to its peers (as discussed below), and the individual executives performance and contributions to the Company.
The Committee began its process of considering bonuses for named executive officers with respect to 2006 performance in the fourth quarter of 2006. The Committee engaged an outside compensation consultant (FPL Associates) to assemble data regarding compensation paid to named executive officers by comparable companies. The consultant provided the Committee with comparisons of base salaries, bonuses, long-term incentive compensation and total compensation paid to executive officers by two sets of peer groups an asset based peer group consisting of seven other public REITs, and a size-based peer group consisting of 13 other public REITs. These peer groups consisted of the following companies:

In connection with the bonus review process, the Committee reviewed various information relating to the Company and each individual named executive officer, including the Companys overall 2006 performance, with particular focus on growth in funds from operations and total return to stockholders, both on an absolute basis and in comparison to the NAREIT composite index and the NAREIT shopping center index, an analysis of each named executive officers salary, bonus and long-term incentive compensation for each of the past three years, a competitive compensation analysis prepared by the Committees compensation consultant as described above and the consultants summary of findings, a self-evaluation form prepared by each named executive officer with respect to the accomplishment of goals, and the Chief Executive Officers recommendations with respect to bonus for each named executive officer (excluding himself). In considering bonus awards, the Committee specifically took into account the total compensation to be paid to the named executive officer, including a base salary to be established for 2007, and the bonus and long-term incentive compensation to be awarded with respect to 2006.
After reviewing and considering the foregoing information, in February 2007 the Committee determined bonuses to executive officers on an individual-by-individual basis. These bonuses were then approved by the Companys independent directors without change. Bonuses paid to our named executive officers ranged from 61-167% of the individuals base salary for 2006, as set forth below:

These bonuses were awarded in part as a result of, among other things, the strong performance of the Company in 2006, including continued execution of the Companys business plan and achievement of various corporate goals and objectives, as well as achievement by the individual executive of various individual goals and objectives that were established for the year.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards
We believe that long-term incentive compensation is an important component of executive compensation, as it aligns the financial interests of our executive officers more closely with those of our stockholders. We believe that grants of stock options and/or restricted stock provide our named executive officers with significant incentives to focus on Company objectives that ultimately result in increased value not only for the executives, but also for our stockholders.
The Committee typically approves grants of equity awards in February or March of each year, which grants are based on a review of the prior years performance. These grants are then subject to approval of the Companys independent directors (including the members of the Committee). The grant dates for awards are set by the Committee in advance, usually several days after the date on which the independent directors approve such awards. For example, this year the Committee approved equity grants on February 26, 2007, with an effective grant date of February 27, 2007, but subject to approval by the independent directors, which occurred on February 26, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the Companys 2003 Incentive Plan, the exercise price for stock options is based on the closing trading price of the Companys common stock on the day preceding the grant date. The Company does not have any policy or practice that times stock option grants in connection with the release of material nonpublic information. The annual stock option grants to named executive officers typically occur several days after the Company has released its earnings for the previous year.

The Committee approves a mixture of stock option grants and restricted stock grants as long-term incentive compensation awards. The Company believes that providing grants of both stock options and restricted stock are beneficial to both the Company and the named executive officer. Stock options permit the executive to share financially, along with shareholders, in any long-term appreciation of the Companys stock price after the grant date, while restricted stock allows for a similar appreciation opportunity, but with greater certainty of some value being received, regardless of whether the stock price in fact increases in the future.
In addition, a portion of the incentive awards to named executive officers are time-vested, in that they vest over a specified number of years as long as the named executive officer continues to work for the Company, and a portion of the incentive awards are performance based, requiring the Company to achieve certain performance hurdles in order for an award to vest. The Company believes that having a mixture of time-vesting and performance-based awards is beneficial to both the Company and the named executive officer. Performance-based awards enable the executive to realize increased value if the Company performs well, while time-vested awards provide an incentive for key employees to remain with the Company regardless of how the Company performs during any short-term window.
The Committee began its process of considering long-term incentive compensation awards to our named executive officers with respect to 2006 performance in the fourth quarter of 2006. Prior to determining these awards, the Committee had available the information provided to it by the compensation consultant referred to in Short Term Incentive Compensation Annual Bonus above.
In connection with the long-term incentive compensation review process, the Committee reviewed various information relating to the Company and each individual named executive officer, including the Companys overall 2006 performance, with particular focus on growth in funds from operations and total return to stockholders, both on an absolute basis and in comparison to the NAREIT composite index and the NAREIT shopping center index, an analysis of each named executive officers salary, bonus and long-term incentive compensation for each of the past three years, a competitive compensation analysis prepared by the Committees compensation consultant as described above and the consultants summary of findings, a self-evaluation form prepared by each named executive officer with respect to the accomplishment of goals, and the Chief Executive Officers recommendations with respect to bonuses for each named executive officer (excluding himself). In considering long-term incentive compensation awards, the Committee specifically took into account the total compensation to be paid to the named executive officer, including a base salary to be established for 2007 and the bonus and long-term incentive compensation to be awarded with respect to 2006.
After reviewing and considering the foregoing information, in February 2007 the Committee approved an aggregate long-term incentive compensation grant to each of our named executive officers on an individual-by-individual basis. These awards were then approved by the Companys independent directors without change.
The Committee determined that 25% of the total value of the long-term incentive compensation award would be in the form of stock options, and 75% of the total value of the award would be in the form of restricted stock. The options were valued based on a Black-Scholes valuation model, while the restricted stock grants were valued based on the market price of the shares being granted at the time of grant. Total grants of long-term incentive compensation to the named executives for 2006 performance were as follows:

The aggregate value of all of these grants was higher than the aggregate value of the incentive awards granted to all of our named executive officers in February 2006 with respect to 2005 performance, because the Committee determined that an increase in the long-term incentive compensation awards was appropriate, taking into account the performance of the Company in 2006, the overall compensation levels at comparable companies as described above, and a desire to weight more heavily for executive officers the long-term incentive compensation component of their overall compensation..
All of the stock options granted (representing 25% of the total value of the overall long-term incentive compensation award) are subject to a time-vesting requirement and vest ratably over five years as long as the named executive officer remains employed by the Company. With respect to the restricted stock grants (representing 75% of the total value of the overall long-term incentive compensation award), one-third of such shares are subject to a time-vesting requirement and vest ratably over five years as long as the named executive officer remains employed by the Company, while the remaining two-thirds of such shares vest over five years if the Company achieves a total return or a target funds from operations per share established by the Committee each year. As a result, one-half of the total value of the long-term incentive compensations awards for 2006 are subject to a time-vesting requirement, and one-half are subject to performance vesting requirements.
Out-Performance Compensation Plan
In addition to the foregoing long-term incentive compensation awards, in February 2006, the Committee approved the implementation of an out-performance compensation plan for our named executive officers, other than Mr. Rufrano. Mr. Rufrano was granted a similar award in March 2005. Because the plan established for the named executive officers was established based on the grant that was awarded to Mr. Rufrano in March 2005, we consider the awards to be a single out-performance compensation plan for our named executive officers, even though the plan was implemented over two years. This plan entitles the named executive officers to receive an award of common stock if, over the four-year period beginning January 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2009 (or beginning February 23, 2005 and ending February 22, 2009, in the case of Mr. Rufrano), the average annual total return on shares of common stock of the Company is at least 10% (or 11% in the case of Mr. Rufrano) or is at least 110% of the average annual total return on the shares of certain designated peer companies. If either of such thresholds is achieved, certain amounts are payable to the named executive officers, up to a specified maximum, depending on the amount by which the Company exceeds the thresholds. The amount payable to each named executive officer increases for every 25 basis points that the total return exceeds 10% (or 11%, in the case of Mr. Rufrano) or 110%, as the case may be, up to a specified maximum payout. The amounts payable to each named executive officer under this plan is as follows:

If at December 31, 2009 (or February 22, 2009, in the case of Mr. Rufrano), neither performance threshold is achieved, or a threshold is achieved but the maximum payout under the plan has not occurred, then performance will again be measured over an additional five-year period beginning January 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2010 (or
11
beginning February 23, 2005 and ending February 22, 2010, in the case of Mr. Rufrano), and to the extent that any additional performance criteria are achieved, a supplemental award will be made, up to the maximum amount.
An award of common stock of the Company made pursuant to this plan at the end of 2009 (or at February 22, 2009, in the case of Mr. Rufrano) will be subject to a further one-year service-based vesting schedule, without regard to any additional performance criteria, over the period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 (or February 23, 2009 to February 22, 2010, in the case of Mr. Rufrano). Any award received at the end of 2010 (or February 22, 2010, in the case of Mr. Rufrano) will not be subject to any additional cliff vesting schedule and will vest immediately upon receipt.
Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation
The Committee has reviewed the potential consequences for the Company of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which imposes a limit on tax deductions for annual compensation in excess of one million dollars paid to any of the five most highly compensated executive officers. To the extent that compensation is required to, and does not, qualify for deduction under Section 162(m), a larger portion of stockholder distributions may be subject to federal income tax expense as dividend income rather than return of capital, and any such compensation allocated to the Companys taxable REIT subsidiaries whose income is subject to federal income tax would result in an increase in income taxes due to the inability to deduct such compensation. Although the Company will be mindful of the limits imposed by Section 162(m), even if it is determined that Section 162(m) applies or may apply to certain compensation packages, the Company nevertheless reserves the right to structure the compensation packages and awards in a manner that may exceed the limitation on deduction imposed by Section 162(m).
Deferred Compensation Plan
We have established a deferred compensation plan under which our named executive officers may defer receipt of salary and/or bonus that otherwise would be payable to such executive officer and also may defer the receipt of restricted stock awards that otherwise may vest with respect to such executive officer. We established this plan so that executives could manage the income that they receive from the Company in a manner that fits their own personal tax planning situation. For additional information on our deferred compensation plan, see 2006 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation and Narrative Disclosure to Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table below.
The market value of a named executive officers deferred compensation account is not considered when setting his current compensation. The compensation earned and deferred was already reviewed and analyzed based on the above described compensation philosophy and policies at the time the compensation was awarded. Had the executive officer instead elected to receive a payout of the compensation earned, and then invested those amounts externally, we would not have considered external investment experience when considering the amount by which we should compensate the executive officer. Thus, we do not believe it is appropriate to consider the value of the executive officers deferred compensation account just because it is held in a plan that we sponsor.

(1) Represents the grant date determined for financial statement reporting purposes pursuant to FAS 123R which represents the date on which each of the following conditions has been met: (i) the stock or option award agreement has been executed (the execution date of the stock or option award is referred to herein as the contractual grant date) and (ii) the applicable performance criteria, if any, have been set. See Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards TableTiming of Reporting Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards below for a discussion of the interplay between the determination of the grant date for financial statement reporting purposes pursuant to FAS 123R and the reporting in this table of grants of stock and option awards made by the executive compensation and stock option committee in 2006 and years prior to 2006.
(2) Represents the date on which the Board of Directors approved the action of the executive compensation and stock option committee granting the stock or option award, as applicable. See Compensation Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of the timing of various compensation decisions regarding the grants of the awards reported in this table.
(3) Amounts in this column represent time-vested restricted stock awards granted under the Companys 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.
(4) Amounts in this column represent time-vested stock option awards granted under the Companys 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.
(5) Represents the exercise price approved by the executive compensation and stock option committee and approved by the Board of Directors on the date set forth in Date of Board Action Approving Award Grant column. Pursuant to the terms of the option award, this price
14
represents the closing market price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date preceding the contractual grant date of such option award.
(6) Represents the closing market price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the FAS 123R grant date set forth in the Grant Date column in this table. The Equity Exercise or Base Price of Option Awards is different than the price in this column because, pursuant to the determination of the executive compensation and stock option committee, as approved by the Board of Directors, the Equity Exercise or Base Price of Option Awards is the closing price of the Companys stock on the date preceding the contractual grant date, and not the FAS 123R grant date, which is determined upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in footnote 1 to this table (which in certain circumstances may occur in years subsequent to the contractual grant date).
(7) The full grant date fair value was computed in accordance with FAS 123R based on the assumptions described in footnotes 2 and 3 to the Summary Compensation Table.
(8) These amounts represent performance based restricted stock awards granted under the Companys 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, which vest upon the satisfaction of either of two annual performance criteria established by our executive compensation and stock option committee in 2006. Under the terms of the plan, there are no established threshold or maximum performance levels. The restricted shares only vest upon the achievement of either of the two 2006 target performance levels, and in such event, the number of shares set forth in the target column vest in full. As of the date hereof, these shares have vested based upon the achievement of the 2006 performance criteria. See the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section for more information regarding the terms of the restricted stock awards and the description of the performance-based criteria.
(9) These grants represent performance based stock option awards granted under the Companys 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, which vest upon the satisfaction of either of two annual performance criteria established by our executive compensation and stock option committee in 2006. Under the terms of the plan, there are no established threshold or maximum performance levels. The performance based options only vest upon the achievement of either of the two 2006 target performance levels, and in such event, options with respect to the number of shares set forth in the target column vest in full. As of the date hereof, these options have vested based upon the achievement of the 2006 performance criteria. See the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section for more information regarding the terms of the stock option awards and the description of the performance-based criteria.
(10) Exercise price was adjusted to account for the dilutive effect resulting from the payment of a $3.00 per share special dividend to the Companys stockholders on September 27, 2005. The original pre-adjusted exercise price was $26.10 per share.
(11) Exercise price was adjusted to account for the dilutive effect resulting from the payment of a $3.00 per share special dividend to the Companys stockholders on September 27, 2005. The original pre-adjusted exercise price was $25.69 per share.
(12) These amounts represent OPP performance share awards granted to the named executive officer in 2006 pursuant to the OPP Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the OPP Plan, in the event that the Company meets either of two specified performance thresholds (total return on Company shares or total return on Company shares in relation to a designated peer group), the named executive officer will receive an award of $1,400,000 plus an incremental amount if and to the extent that the Company exceeds either of such performance thresholds, up to a maximum award of $2,400,000 per named executive officer. These awards are denominated in dollars but are payable in shares of the Companys common stock; the actual number of shares issued, if any, will be determined initially in December 2009 based on the Companys performance over an initial four-year performance period, and/or in December 2010 based on the Companys performance over a five-year performance period. Under the terms of the OPP Plan there is no target performance threshold; rather, any amounts payable in excess of the threshold amount are determined on an incremental basis up to the maximum amount.
Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table
Employment Agreements with Executive Officers
New Plan entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Rufrano, Roche, Siegel, Brumberg and Bernstein. The principal terms of each of these agreements as in effect prior to the transactions are summarized below, except with respect to potential payments and other benefits upon certain terminations or a change in control of the Company which are summarized below under Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control. Each of these employment agreements was entered into prior to the consummation of the Transactions. As previously noted, IntermediateCo has not yet determined its compensation policies and programs, or the criteria, components or elements of compensation, for its executive officers. Currently, other than Messrs. Rufrano, Roche and Siegel, IntermediateCos executive officers who are also executive officers of its affiliates do not receive any separate compensation from IntermediateCo for serving in such capacities. With respect to Messrs. Rufrano, Roche and Siegel, IntermediateCo and these executive officers have not yet entered into any agreement or understanding with respect to their compensation for serving as executive officers of IntermediateCo and/or any of its affiliates.
Glenn J. Rufrano Employment Agreement
On March 15, 2005, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Rufrano, replacing the original employment agreement that was entered into upon commencement of Mr. Rufranos employment with the Company in February 2000. The new employment agreement provides for a term ending on June 30, 2010. The employment agreement also provides that, during the employment period, Mr. Rufrano continue to be nominated by us at our annual meetings of stockholders to serve as our director, and that we use reasonable good faith efforts to cause Mr. Rufrano to be elected as a director. In addition, the employment agreement provides that, during the employment period, Mr. Rufrano be our Chief Executive Officer and be appointed as a full voting member of our Investment Committee, or any successor committee.
Under the employment agreement, Mr. Rufrano will receive a minimum annual base salary of $600,000. The employment agreement also provides for Mr. Rufrano to receive an annual cash bonus and an annual long term incentive compensation award, in each case to be determined in the discretion of the Companys executive compensation and stock
15
option committee. During the employment period, Mr. Rufrano will also be entitled to receive business expense reimbursements and an automobile allowance, and to participate in the incentive, retirement, welfare benefit and fringe benefit programs made available to the Companys senior executives.
Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Rufrano may also become entitled to an award of common stock, termed outperform shares, in the event that over designated performance periods either of two specified performance criteria are achieved (total return on Company shares or total return on Company shares in relation to a designated peer group). The value of the common stock award will vary based on the level of performance achieved, but the maximum award of common stock that can be achieved is $6 million.
The first performance period will be a four-year period commencing on February 23, 2005 and ending on February 22, 2009. Any common stock awarded for this performance period would be subject to a one year vesting schedule and would become fully vested and non-forfeitable on February 22, 2010 (but Mr. Rufrano would be entitled to receive the dividend on, and the voting rights with respect to, any such shares during the one-year vesting period). In the event that the maximum performance level is not achieved during the initial four-year performance period, then there will be a second performance period running from February 23, 2005 until February 22, 2010, and if at the end of such five-year period a performance level is achieved that is greater than the performance level that was achieved over the initial four-year period, Mr. Rufrano will be entitled to receive an incremental award of common stock based on the greater performance level achieved over such five-year performance period. Any common stock awarded based on the five-year performance period will fully vest and be non-forfeitable on February 22, 2010.
See Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control below for a discussion of the potential post-employment payments and other benefits to be received by Mr. Rufrano.

Timing of Reporting Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards
The timing of reporting stock and option awards in both the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table is driven by the accounting treatment of the award.
Summary Compensation Table
In the Summary Compensation Table, we are required to disclose the compensation cost of the stock and option awards over the requisite service period in accordance with FAS 123R, which requires recognition of the costs of equity awards over the period in which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Therefore, the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns in the Summary Compensation Table include the compensation costs of awards granted in 2006 and in prior fiscal years to the extent that those costs are recognized during the 2006 fiscal year, which occurs if the service period for those awards extends into 2006. Because the disclosure of each stock and option award will be spread over several years, the total amount disclosed each year for equity compensation in the Summary Compensation Table reflects awards made in both the current and prior fiscal years. With respect to time-vested awards, which vest over a specified number of years as long as the named executive officer continues to work for the Company, the compensation costs of such awards is recognized, and thus reported in the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns of the Summary Compensation Table, over the course of the vesting period. With respect to performance-based awards, which require the Company to achieve certain performance hurdles in order for an award to vest, the compensation costs of such awards is reported in the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns of the Summary Compensation Table only to the extent that achievement of the performance criteria is or became probable in the reported fiscal year. In order for achievement of the applicable performance criteria to become probable once, the performance criteria must be set. Our performance-based restricted stock and option awards vest ratably in annual installments, subject to the achievement of performance criteria established annually by our executive compensation and stock option committee. Therefore, each tranche of a performance-based award may only become reportable once the performance criteria for such tranche has been established by our executive compensation and stock option committee, and only to the extent that achievement of such performance criteria is probable. For purposes of the 2006 fiscal year, this resulted in the disclosure of the compensation cost with respect to the proportionate tranche of each equity award made in and prior to 2006 for which our executive compensation and stock option committee established the annual performance criteria in 2006.
Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table
In the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table, we are required to provide certain information with respect to each grant of an award made to a named executive officer in the last completed fiscal year. However, for financial statement reporting purposes, an equity award, or requisite portion thereof, will only be deemed made and thus is only reportable in the year in which the grant date occurs, which grant date is determined in accordance with FAS 123R. Pursuant to FAS
17
123R, the grant date represents the date on which each of the following conditions has been met: (i) the stock or option award agreement has been executed (the execution date of the stock or option award is referred to herein as the contractual grant date) and (ii) the performance criteria, if any, have been set. Therefore, the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table includes (i) all grants of time-vested stock or option awards made in the 2006 fiscal year (i.e., those awards with a 2006 contractual grant date), and (ii) all performance-based stock and option awards with a 2006 FAS 123R grant date (which includes performance-based grants from prior years for which the performance criteria for the applicable tranche was set by our executive compensation and stock option committee in February 2006). Because the disclosure of each performance-based award subject to performance criteria established annually by our executive compensation and stock option committee will be spread over the life of the award, the information disclosed in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table reflect performance-based awards made in both the current and prior fiscal years.
2006 Long-Term Out-Performance Compensation Plan
The OPP Plan was designed as a feature of the Companys 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective July 14, 2005, which 2003 Stock Incentive Plan previously was approved by the Companys stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the OPP Plan, five of the current executive officers of the Company (other than Glenn Rufrano, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, and William Newman, the Companys Chairman of the Board of Directors) are entitled to receive an award of common stock of the Company if, over the period commencing January 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2009 (the Initial Performance Period), or the period commencing January 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2010 (the Supplemental Performance Period). the Annual New Plan Total Return (as defined below) is at least 10% or the Annual New Plan Total Return is at least 110% of the Annual Peer Group Total Return (as defined below). If either of such thresholds is achieved, the aggregate pool award will equal $7 million plus (i) $416,666 for each 25 basis points that the Annual New Plan Total Return exceeds 10% or (ii) $250,000 for each 25 basis points over 110% that the Annual New Plan Total Return exceeds the Annual Peer Group Total Return. In no event, however, will the aggregate pool award exceed $12 million. If both of the minimum performance thresholds are achieved, the aggregate pool award will be based on the calculation that produces the larger award, and each of the five current executive officers will receive 20% of the aggregate pool award, which amount was determined by the executive compensation and stock option committee.
If at the end of the Initial Performance Period, neither performance threshold is achieved, or a threshold is achieved but the aggregate award does not equal $12 million, then performance will be measured over the Supplemental Performance Period and to the extent that any additional performance criteria are achieved, a supplemental award will be made. In no event, however, will the aggregate award for the Initial Performance Period and the Supplemental Performance Period exceed $12 million.
An award of common stock of the Company made pursuant to the OPP Plan for the Initial Performance Period will be subject to a one-year cliff vesting schedule, without regard to any additional performance criteria, over the period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. The executive officer will be entitled to vote the shares and receive payment of any dividends paid on the shares during the one-year cliff vesting period. Any award received at the end of the Supplemental Performance Period will not be subject to a one-year cliff vesting schedule and will vest at the end of the Supplemental Performance Period.
No rights (voting or dividend) exist during the Initial Performance Period and stockholder rights will only arise upon the achievement of either of the performance thresholds at the end of the applicable performance period to the extent of the common stock award. In the event of the death or disability of a participant prior to December 31, 2010, the date of death or disability will be deemed the end of the applicable performance period and the participant will be entitled to the applicable award based on the performance criteria over the shortened performance period.
In the event of a change in control or a severance triggering event under an applicable employment agreement prior to December 31, 2010, the date of the event will be deemed to be the end of the applicable performance period and the participant will be entitled to the applicable award based on the performance criteria over the shortened performance period. If a participant leaves the Company prior to the applicable vesting date (subject to the provisions on death, disability, change in control, and severance triggering events), then the award allocable to that executive officer will be cancelled and will not be reallocated to other participants.
18
For purposes of the OPP Plan, Annual New Plan Total Return means the average annual total return on the shares of common stock of the Company over the applicable measurement period (calculated in accordance with the OPP Plan), and Annual Peer Group Total Return means, with respect to certain peer companies, the average of the average annual total return on the shares of each such company over the applicable measurement period (calculated in accordance with the OPP Plan).
The foregoing description of the OPP Plan is qualified in its entirety by the full terms and conditions of the OPP Plan which was filed as an exhibit to the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

above-market earnings on deferred compensation plan accounts.
Narrative Disclosure to Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table
Under the deferred compensation plan, the named executive officers may defer receipt of all or a portion of their bonus, a portion of their salary, as well as all or a portion of their restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. The deferred compensation plan is a non-qualified plan that provides benefits to eligible employees who are part of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Pursuant to the terms of the deferred compensation plan, the named executive officers may defer up to 75% of base salary and up to 100% of his or her bonus or restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. The salary and bonus amounts elected to be deferred by each named executive officer are credited to such named executive officers cash deferral account, and the Company credits the cash deferral accounts with earnings as if the amounts deferred were invested in selected investment funds (e.g., a mutual fund, life insurance account, or other investment approved by the plan administrator) as directed by the named executive officer. The named executive officers may change their deemed investments from time to time. Restricted stock or restricted stock units deferred by a named executive officer are treated as invested in the Companys common stock, and the Company credits these amounts to the named executive officers stock unit deferral account. Stock unit deferral accounts are credited with dividend equivalent payments based on the number of units credited to the account at the time dividends are paid to the Companys stockholders. Distributions of a named executive officers cash deferral account and his or her stock unit deferral account separately may be paid as retirement/termination benefit distributions upon a named executive officers retirement or termination of employment, and/or as in-service distributions on the date(s) elected by the named executive officer for an in-service distribution.
Elections to defer cash compensation generally must be made prior to the year in which the services to which the compensation relates will be performed. Elections to defer restricted stock grants generally may be made on or before the 30th day after the date of grant, provided that the election is made at least 12 months prior to the initial vesting date under the restricted stock grant. At the time a deferral election is made, the named executive officer chooses (a) (i) the amount of deferral and type of cash compensation to be deferred and/or (ii) the number or percentage of shares of restricted stock to be deferred, (b) any in-service distribution dates for that years, or a portion of that years, cash deferrals and/or restricted stock deferrals, and (c) the form of payment elections for the retirement/termination benefits and in-service distributions. The named executive officer may elect to receive his or her retirement/termination benefit payments in a lump sum and/or in up to fifteen annual installments (provided that such amount to be distributed in installments is, with respect to cash deferrals, at least $25,000 and, with respect to restricted stock deferrals, valued at $10,000 or more). Named executive officers may change the form of payment elected with respect to particular deferrals, subject to compliance with the terms of the deferred compensation plan then in effect, including any grandfathered terms resulting from changes in applicable U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations.
A named executive officer may have up to 5 in-service distribution elections applicable to each of his or her cash deferral account and to his or her stock unit deferral account. However, an election of a payment schedule for a cash or restricted stock retirement/termination benefit will pertain to the entire cash deferral account balance or stock unit account balance, as applicable.
Amounts that are treated as if invested in selected investment funds are distributed in cash, and amounts credited to a stock unit deferral account are distributed in shares of the Companys common stock.
Participants in the deferred compensation plan are general unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to their benefits under the plan. The Company does not make any contributions on behalf of its executive officers under its deferred compensation plan or pay above-market or preferential earnings on deferred compensation plan accounts.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
The following discussion summarizes the potential payments and acceleration rights upon certain terminations and/or a change in control of the Company for each of the named executive officers, assuming a December 31, 2006 termination or change in control date. These payments and acceleration rights are contained within the named executive officers employment agreements, the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, stock option and restricted stock awards and the deferred compensation plan. The amount payable to or realized by each named executive officer may vary depending on the nature of the termination, whether as a result of termination by us without cause or by the executive for good reason (which is defined to include a change in control of the Company), or in the event of disability or death of the executive. For purposes of quantifying the value of continued insurance coverage benefits presented in the disclosure below, the Company has estimated a value of such insurance benefits based on the amount the Company would pay under COBRA for insurance coverage on behalf of the named executive officer over the applicable time period.

Deferred Compensation Plan
Under the deferred compensation plan (see Compensation Discussion and AnalysisDeferred Compensation Plan and Narrative Disclosure to Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table above for more information on this plan), in the event a named executive officer that has elected to defer compensation under the plan has a termination of employment (including retirement) within two years after a change in control, such named executive officer receives a lump sum distribution of his or her deferred compensation account balance (including all in service accounts) as soon as administratively practicable following the end of the month in which the termination of employment occurs. In the case of non-grandfathered subaccounts, payment to the named executive officers will be delayed six months following termination of employment to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the penalty tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
Assuming a change in control under the deferred compensation plans at December 31, 2006, the market value of the accelerated account balances is presented in the Aggregate Balance at Last FYE column of the 2006 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table above.

Director Compensation
In 2006, non-management directors of the Company received an annual retainer fee of $40,000, plus a fee of $1,000 for attendance, in person or telephonically, at each meeting of the Board of Directors. Non-management directors also received $1,000 for each committee meeting attended, including telephonic meetings, that was not on the same day as a meeting of the Board of Directors. The lead director received an additional annual retainer fee of $10,000. The chairman of the audit committee received an additional annual retainer fee of $10,000, and the chairman of each of the executive compensation and stock option committee and the corporate governance and nominating committee received an additional annual retainer fee of $5,000. In addition, the other directors who are members of the audit committee received an additional annual retainer fee of $5,000. Each director was reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending meetings, including committee meetings. The $40,000 annual retainer fee was paid 50% in cash and 50% through the issuance of shares of our common stock.
Non-management directors also receive, on an annual basis, options to purchase shares of our common stock in accordance with the following formula: 3,000 shares, plus 250 shares multiplied by the number of years of continuous service beginning in 1997, including any portion of any fiscal year of service as a full year. The option price is the fair market value of the underlying shares of our common stock on the date of grant and the options are fully vested upon grant.
In addition to the compensation arrangements discussed above, the Company has historically reimbursed Mr. Melvin Newman (formerly an employee of the Company) for medical insurance. Mr. Newman previously received this benefit while he served as an employee of the Company and, following his retirement, the Company has continued to provide this benefit to Mr. Newman.
The following table provides information on the compensation of our directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The New Plan executive compensation and stock option committee was comprised of Gregory White, Matthew Goldstein and Nina Matis during 2006. None of these individuals were, or ever have been, employees of New Plan or any of our subsidiaries. No interlocking relationship existed between Mr. White, Mr. Goldstein or Ms. Matis and any member of any other companys board of directors, board of trustees or executive compensation and stock option committee during that period.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
During 2006, New Plans executive compensation and stock option committee of the Board of Directors was composed entirely of independent directors. The committee consisted of Gregory White (chairman), Matthew Goldstein and Nina Matis. Under its charter, the committee was responsible for determining the compensation of the Companys executive officers, including base salary, bonus and long-term incentive compensation, subject to approval of a majority of the Companys independent directors (including members of the committee).
The committee reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth above (other than information with respect to IntermediateCo) with our management. Based on such review and discussion, the committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and the Board of Directors approved that recommendation.

For purposes of the policies and procedures, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness), or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which (i) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000, (ii) the Company is a participant, and (iii) any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Under the policies and procedures, the directors and executive officers of the Company are responsible for identifying and reporting any proposed transaction with a related person. If any director or officer becomes aware of any transaction or arrangement that has taken place, may be taking place or may be about to take place involving the Company and any related person, such person shall immediately bring the matter to the attention of the Companys general counsel. Any proposed related person transaction shall be presented by the general counsel to the Board of Directors for its review, or, in the event that the Board of Directors designates a committee of the Board of Directors, to such committee for its review. The Board of Directors or designated committee will then meet, in person or by telephone, to review and discuss the proposed transaction.
All related person transactions must be approved or ratified by either a majority of the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors or by a designated committee of the Board of Directors. If the transaction involves a director, that director will not participate in the action regarding whether to approve or ratify the transaction. In the event that all of the directors are deemed to have an interest in the transaction, the Company may enter into the transaction if it is approved in accordance with the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law.
IntermediateCo has not yet adopted similar related person policies and procedures following consummation of the Transactions. IntermediateCo intends to evaluate and consider whether to adopt such related party policies and procedures.
INDEPENDENCE OF DIRECTORS
The following discussions relates to New Plans determination of the independence of the Original Directors prior to the consummation of the Transactions.
The Board of Directors has evaluated the status of each director and has affirmatively determined that a majority of our directors, including Ms. Matis and Messrs. Bottorf, Engelman, Gold, Goldstein, McCall, Puskar and White, are independent, as such term is defined in the New York Stock Exchanges listing standards. William Newman and Glenn Rufrano are not independent as they are employees of the Company. In addition, Melvin Newman is not independent as he is the brother of William Newman.
Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the New York Stock Exchange listing standards, in order for a director to be deemed independent, the Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company). After broadly considering all facts and circumstances, the Board of Directors determined that Ms. Matis and Messrs. Bottorf, Engelman, Gold, Goldstein, McCall, Puskar and White have no known relationship (material or otherwise) with the Company.
Mr. Goldstein is the Chancellor of The City University of New York. Baruch College is one of the colleges in The City University of New York system. In 2005, William Newman, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, agreed to make a personal charitable contribution in the amount of $25 million over 5 years to Baruch College. This was a personal gift by Mr. Newman that was not sponsored or endorsed by the Company in any manner. The Board of Directors determined that since the gift was personal and did not involve the Company or its management, no relationship
35
existed between Mr. Goldstein and the Company as a result of Mr. Newmans gift, and determined that this charitable gift by Mr. Newman does not in any way interfere with or influence Mr. Goldsteins exercise of independent judgment as a director of the Company.

All audit and audit-related services were pre-approved by the audit committee, either pursuant to the audit committees Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy or through a separate pre-approval by the audit committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firms independence from the Company.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
New Plans committees policy is to review and pre-approve, either pursuant to the audit committees Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy or through a separate pre-approval by the audit committee, any engagement of the Companys independent auditor to provide any audit or permissible non-audit service to the Company. Pursuant to the Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy, which is annually reviewed and reassessed by the audit committee, a list of specific services within certain categories of services, including audit, audit-related, tax and other services, are specifically pre-approved for the upcoming or current fiscal year, subject to an aggregate maximum annual fee payable by the Company for each category of pre-approved services. Any service that is not included in the approved list of services must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee. In addition, all audit and permissible non-audit services in excess of the pre-approved fee level, whether or not included on the pre-approved list of services, must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee. The audit committee has delegated authority to its chairman to specifically pre-approve engagements for the performance of audit and permissible non-audit services, provided that the estimated cost for such services shall not exceed $100,000. The chairman must report all pre-approval decisions to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting and provide a description of the terms of the engagement, including (1) the type of services covered by the engagement, (2) the dates the engagement is scheduled to commence and terminate, (3) the estimated fees payable by the Company pursuant to the engagement, (4) other material terms of the engagement, and (5) such other information as the audit committee may request.
