Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective on and after January 1, 2012, an Eligible Employee of Fisher Price Inc. who is not permitted to participate in the Fisher Price Pension Plan (or any successor plan) on or after January 1, 2012 due to the freezing of participation under that plan, shall be eligible to receive a Company Contribution allocation in accordance with this Section 6.1(a) which contribution shall be allocated to Participant Accounts as soon as administratively practicable following the end of the month for which such Company Contribution is due. An Eligible Employee of Fisher Price Inc. who is eligible to receive Company Contributions as of January 1, 2012 and whose hire date is between July 2, 2010 and December 31, 2011 shall receive a Company Contribution allocation no later than March 31, 2012 equal to





the sum of the monthly Company Contributions that would have been earned from the date such Eligible Employee became a Participant in the Plan through December 31, 2011 if such Participant had been eligible to receive Company Contributions for such period, adjusted for interest at a rate of 4% per annum from the date the Company Contribution would have been allocated to the Participant’s Account to the date the Company Contribution is actually allocated to the Participant’s Account.”
