NAME, HISTORY AND PLAN
PURPOSES
1.1. Name and History . The
Company (as defined below) hereby amends and restates the Mattel,
Inc. 2005 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “

originally established and adopted by the Company effective as of
January 1, 2005 (the “ Effective Date ”).
The Plan and the benefits provided hereunder are subject to Code
Section 409A.
1.2. Plan Purposes
.
(a) The purpose of the Plan is to
enable the Company and Related Companies to attract and retain
highly qualified executives and to align their long-term interests
with those of the Company. The Plan provides benefits pursuant to
Section 5.2 of the Plan to Participants who meet the
requirements for such benefits set forth below (and to their
Beneficiaries, as defined below), and death and disability benefits
as set forth in Sections 6.7 and 6.8. All such benefits
(collectively, “ Benefits ”) are subject to Code
Section 409A. Prior to the Restatement Effective Date, the
Benefits were referred to as the “Part B Benefits” and
any reference in an Individual Agreement or otherwise to Part B
Benefits shall be deemed for purposes of the Plan to refer to the
Benefits.
(b) The Plan is established for the
purpose of providing pension benefits to a select group of
management or highly compensated employees. The Benefits under the
Plan shall be funded solely out of the general assets of the
Company. Accordingly, it is intended that the Plan be exempt from
the requirements of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Subtitle B of
Title I of ERISA pursuant to Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3),
and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. It is expressly intended that ERISA preempt
