“10. General Release. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement includes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with regard to the Executive’s employment, the termination thereof during the Term, and all amounts to which the Executive shall be entitled whether during the term of employment or upon termination thereof. The Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the Executive’s right to receive severance pay and other benefits pursuant to subsections (b), (d), (e) and (f) of Section 5 of this Agreement is contingent upon the Executive’s compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement and the Executive’s execution and acceptance of the terms and conditions of, and the effectiveness of the General Release of All Claims (the “Release”) attached hereto as Exhibit “B.” The Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or other

11

benefits to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under subsections (b), (d), (e) and (f) of Section 5 of this Agreement unless (i) the Executive complies with the covenants set forth in Section 11, (ii) with respect to any severance payments or other benefits to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under subsections (b) and (d) of Section 5 of this Agreement, the Executive executes the Release and such Release becomes irrevocable within fifty-five (55) days following the Executive’s Date of Termination, (iii) with respect to any severance payments or other benefits to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under subsection (e) of Section 5 of this Agreement, the Executive executes the Release and such Release becomes irrevocable within fifty-five (55) days following the Executive’s Date of Termination or, if earlier, by March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Window Period commenced and (iv) with respect to any severance payments or other benefits to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under subsection (f) of Section 5 of this Agreement, the Executive executes the Release and such Release becomes irrevocable within fifty-five (55) days following the Executive’s Date of Termination or, if earlier, by March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Non-Renewal Severance Period commenced.”

36. The second sentence of Section 14(a) of the Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14(a), if it shall be determined that the Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Parachute Value of Payments (as defined below) does not exceed 110% of the Safe Harbor Amount (as defined below), then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Executive and the Agreement Payments (as defined below), in the aggregate, shall be reduced (but not below zero) such that the Parachute Value of all Payments equals the Safe Harbor Amount.”

37. Section 14(a) of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following language at the end thereof to read as follows:

“If a reduction in the Agreement Payments is necessary so that the Parachute Value of all Payments equals the Safe Harbor Amount and none of the Payments is a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of and subject to

12

Section 409A (“Nonqualified Deferred Compensation”), then the reduction shall occur in the manner the Executive elects in writing prior to the date of payment. If any Payment constitutes Nonqualified Deferred Compensation or the Executive fails to elect an order, then the reduction shall occur in the following order: (i) cancellation of acceleration of vesting on any equity awards for which the exercise price exceeds the then fair market value of the underlying equity; (ii) reduction in the benefits described in Section 5(d)(vi) (with such reduction being applied to the benefits in the manner having the least economic impact to the Executive and, to the extent the economic impact is equivalent, such benefits shall be reduced in the reverse order of when the benefits would have been provided to the Executive, that is, benefits payable later shall be reduced before benefits payable earlier); (iii) reduction of cash payments (with such reduction being applied to the payments in the reverse order in which they would otherwise be made, that is, later payments shall be reduced before earlier payments); (iv) cancellation of acceleration of vesting of equity awards not covered under (i) above; provided, however, that in the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be cancelled, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of such equity awards, that is, later equity awards shall be canceled before earlier equity awards.”

38. The third sentence of Section 14(b) of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following proviso at the end thereof to read as follows:

“; provided, however, that any Gross-Up Payment shall in all events be paid no later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year immediately following the Executive’s taxable year in which the Excise Tax (and any income or other related taxes or interest or penalties thereon) on a Payment are remitted to the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority or, in the case of amounts relating to a claim described in Section 14(c) that does not result in the remittance of any federal, state, local and foreign income, excise, social security and other taxes, the calendar year in which the claim is finally settled or otherwise resolved.”

39. The fourth sentence of Section 14(b) of the Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

13

“Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Mattel and the Executive, including any determination by the Accounting Firm of the amount that equals 110% of the Safe Harbor Amount and any amount of cutback in benefits necessary because Payments are calculated to have a Parachute Value between 100% and 110% of the Safe Harbor Amount.”

40. The second sentence of the proviso following Section 14(c)(iv) of the Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 14(c), Mattel shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the applicable taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either pay the tax claimed to the appropriate taxing authority on behalf of the Executive and direct the Executive to sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Mattel shall determine; provided, however, that if Mattel pays such claim and directs the Executive to sue for a refund, Mattel shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such payment or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such payment; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.”

41. Section 14(d) of the Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“(d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of a Gross-Up Payment or payment by Mattel of an amount on the Executive’s behalf pursuant to Section 14(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to the Excise Tax to which such Gross-Up relates or with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to Mattel’s complying with the requirements of Section 14(c))

14

promptly pay to Mattel the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after payment by Mattel of an amount on the Executive’s behalf pursuant to Section 14(c), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and Mattel does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then the amount of such payment shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.”

42. Section 14(e) of the Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 14, Mattel may withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority for the benefit of the Executive all or any portion of the Gross-Up Payment that Mattel determines in good faith that it is or may be in the future required to withhold, and the Executive hereby consents to such withholding.”

43. A new Section 16 shall be added to the Agreement to read as follows:

“16. Section 409A.

(a) It is the parties’ intention that the reimbursements, payments and benefits to which the Executive could become entitled in connection with the Executive’s employment under this Agreement be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 16 shall qualify and supersede all other provisions of this Agreement as necessary to fulfill the foregoing intention. If the Executive or Mattel believes, at any time, that any of such reimbursement, payment or benefit is not exempt or does not so comply, the Executive or Mattel will promptly advise the other party and will negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of such arrangement such that it is exempt or complies (with the most limited possible economic effect on the Executive and on Mattel) or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties that may apply under Section 409A if exemption or compliance is not practicable. Mattel agrees that it will not, without the Executive’s prior written

15

consent, knowingly take any action, or knowingly refrain from taking any action, other than as required by law, that would result in the imposition of tax, interest and/or penalties upon the Executive under Section 409A, unless such action or omission is pursuant to the Executive’s written request.

(b) To the extent applicable, each and every payment to be made pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and not as one of a series of payments treated as a single payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).

(c) If the Executive is a “specified employee” (determined by Mattel in accordance with Section 409A and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2)) as of the date that the Executive experiences a Separation from Service, and if any reimbursement, payment or benefit to be paid or provided under this Agreement or otherwise both (i) constitutes Nonqualified Deferred Compensation and (ii) cannot be paid or provided in a manner otherwise provided herein without subjecting the Executive to additional tax, interest and/or penalties under Section 409A, then any such reimbursement, payment or benefit that is payable during the first six (6) months following the Date of Termination shall be paid or provided to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment to be made on the earlier of (x) the Executive’s death and (y) the first business day of the seventh (7th) month immediately following the Executive’s Separation from Service.

(d) Except to the extent any reimbursement, payment or benefit to be paid or provided under this Agreement does not constitute Nonqualified Deferred Compensation, (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit (as defined in Section 409A) to the Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or provided as in-kind benefits to the Executive in any other calendar year (subject to any lifetime and other annual limits provided under Mattel’s health plans), (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which the Executive is entitled shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred and (iii) the right to payment
