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 “ Plan ”), effective as of January 1, 2009 (the “ Restatement Effective Date ”). The Plan was 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 the application of state laws to the Plan, to the maximum extent permitted by Section 514 of ERISA.
