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.

interest rate as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the HR Officer may from time to time jointly determine; provided, however, that such mortality table and/or interest rate shall be reasonable within the meaning of Treas.
Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(2)(ii)(D); and, provided, further, that effective as of January 1, 2012, the interest rate used to calculate the actuarial equivalence of lump sum benefits will be the interest rate in effect under Code
Section 417(e)(3) on the first day of the month preceding the month in which the actuarial equivalence is being calculated.

then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such
transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the
Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination)
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 35% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities
of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were

 (a) A Participant may be designated as no longer eligible for Benefits by
the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, or, in the case of a Participant other than the CEO, by the CEO in his or her sole discretion, effective as of the date such designation is made or a later date specified therein. From and after
such designation, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, for purposes of determining the affected Participant’s Benefit, the Participant’s Final Average Compensation and Months of Service shall be determined as if his or her
Termination, Disability or death had occurred on the date such designation is effective, and his or her age on the date of his or her actual Termination, Disability or death shall be deemed, for purposes of Sections 5.4, 6.7 and 6.8, to equal
the lesser of his or her actual age on that date or 55. 
  

 7 








 (b) In the event that it is determined that allowing any individual to continue participating in the Plan
could cause the Plan to violate ERISA, such individual’s participation in the Plan (and accrual of any Benefits hereunder) will cease as of the date of such determination, and any vested Benefit shall be distributed to such individual in
accordance with the terms of the Plan. 
  
 3.3. Vesting.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who commences participation in the Plan on or after the Restatement Effective Date shall be eligible to receive Benefits under the Plan unless the Participant completes at least 13
Months of Service following the date the Participant’s designation as eligible for Benefits is effective. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
  
 FUNDING OF BENEFITS 
  
 4.1. Funded Status of
Benefits. Benefits shall not be funded, but shall be payable out of the general assets of the Company (or a Related Company) when due. 
  
 4.2. Rights of Participants. 
  
 (a) No Participant shall have a preferred claim on, or a beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Company (or a Related Company) prior to the
time such assets are paid to him or her in the form of a Benefit. 
  
 (b) All rights created under the Plan shall be unsecured contractual rights of Participants against the Company or a Related Company. However, nothing in this document shall in any way diminish any rights of a Participant to pursue his or
her rights as a general creditor of Company or a Related Company with respect to his or her Benefits under the Plan. 
  
 4.3. No Participant Contributions. No Participant contributions to the Plan are permitted. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
  
 BENEFITS 
  
 5.1. Reserved. 
  
 5.2. Benefits. A Participant’s Benefit, subject to the conditions, limitations, elections and reductions set forth below, shall be payable
monthly, in an annual amount, determined as of the Participant’s Determination Date, and expressed as a single life annuity, equal to: 
  
 (a) 60% of the Participant’s Final Average Compensation, determined as of the Determination Date, less 
  
 (b) the Participant’s Benefit Base Amount. 
  

 8 








 5.3. Conditions. The following conditions must be met in order for a Participant who is eligible
for a Benefit (or the Beneficiary thereof) to receive a Benefit in the event of his or her Termination: 
  
 (a) Reserved. 
  
 (b) The Participant’s Termination must occur on or after the date on which the Participant has first attained age 55 and completed
60 Months of Service. 
  
 (c) The Participant must satisfy
any applicable Eligibility Requirements; provided that, unless otherwise specified in connection with the establishment of the Participant’s Eligibility Requirements, they shall be waived in the event of the Participant’s
Involuntary Termination. 
  
 5.4. Reduction of Benefit. The
Benefit of a Participant whose Termination occurs before the Participant has completed 180 Months of Service shall be the amount computed as set forth in Section 5.2, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Months
of Service completed by the Participant, and the denominator of which is 180. The Benefit of a Participant whose Termination occurs on or after the date on which the Participant attains age 55 and before the Participant attains age 60
shall be reduced, after any applicable reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence, by 0.4167% for each month by which the Participant’s age at Termination is less than age 60. 
  
 5.5. Forfeiture of Benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the Plan, a Participant and his or her
Beneficiary shall not be entitled to any Benefit from and after any date on which (i) the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Related Company is terminated for Cause or (ii) the Company determines to impose a Forfeiture as
set forth in Section 5.6. 
  
 5.6. Forfeitures and
Recapture. 
  
 (a) Benefits under the Plan are intended to
align the Participants’ long-term interests with the long-term interests of the Company and the Related Companies. If a Participant engages in certain activities discussed below, either during employment with the Employer or after such
employment terminates for any reason, the Participant is acting contrary to the long-term interests of the Company and the Related Companies. Accordingly, the Company may determine that a Participant and his or her Beneficiary shall forfeit their
rights to any as-yet-unpaid Benefit (“Forfeiture”) and/or may decide to recapture any amounts previously paid to the Participant or Beneficiary (“Recapture”), as more fully described below. 
  
 (b) Each Participant shall comply with any agreement or undertaking
regarding inventions, intellectual property rights, and/or proprietary or confidential information or material that the Participant signed or otherwise agreed to in favor of the Company or any Related Company. 
  
 (c) The Company believes that if a Participant engages in any of following
activities in, or directed into, any State, possession or territory of the United States of America or any country in which the Company or any Related Company operates, sells products or does 
  

 9 








 
business, then the Participant is acting contrary to the long-term interests of the Company and the Related Companies: (1) rendering services to or
otherwise directly or indirectly engaging in or assisting, any organization or business that is or is working to become competitive with the Company and/or any of the Related Companies; or (2) soliciting any non-administrative employee of the
Company and/or any Related Company to terminate employment with the Company or such Related Company, as applicable, or to perform services for any organization or business that is or is working to become competitive with the Company and/or any
Related Company. The activities described in this Section 5.6(c) are collectively referred to as “Activities Against the Company’s Interest.” 
  

 (d) If the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that 
  
 (i) a Participant has violated any of the requirements of Section 5.6(b) or 
  
 (ii) at any time during his or her employment with the
Employer, or within three years after his or her Termination or Disability, or at any time while receiving any Benefit, a Participant has engaged in any Activities Against the Company’s Interest 
  
 (the date on which such violation or activity first occurred being referred to as the
“Trigger Date”), then the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose a Forfeiture of any of the Participant’s as-yet-unpaid Benefits and/or a Recapture of any or all Benefit payments made to the Participant,
provided that such payments were made no earlier than 24 months before the Trigger Date. Within ten days after receiving notice from the Company that Recapture is being imposed as to any Benefit payment, the Participant shall pay to the
Company the amount of the Benefit payment subject to the Recapture. It shall not be a basis for Forfeiture or Recapture if after a Participant’s Termination or Disability, the Participant purchases, as an investment or otherwise, stock or other
securities of such an organization or business, so long as (i) such stock or other securities are listed upon a recognized securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, and (ii) such investment does not represent more than a 5% equity
interest in the organization or business. 
  
 (e) Upon
Termination or Disability, and thereafter upon the request of the Administrator or the Company, the Participant shall certify on a form acceptable to the Company that he or she is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall
state the name and address of the Participant’s then-current employer or any entity for which the Participant performs business services and the Participant’s title, and shall identify any organization or business in which the Participant
owns a greater than 5% equity interest. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.6, the Company has sole and absolute discretion not to require Forfeiture and/or Recapture, and its determination not to require Forfeiture and/or Recapture with respect to any particular act by or
payment to a particular Participant shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the Company’s authority to require Forfeiture and/or Recapture with respect to any other act, payment or Participant. 
  

 10 








 (g) Nothing in this Section 5.6 shall be construed to impose obligations on any Participant to
refrain from engaging in lawful competition with the Company or any Related Company after his or her Termination or Disability. 
  
 (h) All administrative and discretionary authority given to the Company under this Section 5.6 shall be exercised by the HR Officer or such other
person or committee (including without limitation the Compensation Committee or the Administrator) as the Compensation Committee may designate from time to time. 
  
 (i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.6, if any provision of this Section 5.6 is determined to be
unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to
conform to any limitations required under applicable law. Furthermore, if any provision of this Section 5.6 is illegal under any applicable law, such provision shall be null and void to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law.

  
 5.7. Change in Control. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, upon a Change in Control,
(a) the requirements of Section 5.3 shall cease to apply to those Participants who are employed by the Company or a Related Company on the date of the Change in Control, (b) the reduction in Section 5.4 shall continue to apply,
provided that the second sentence therein shall apply to any Participant whose age at Termination is less than age 60 based on the Participant’s actual age at Termination and (c) Section 5.6 shall cease to apply to any Participant
whose Termination or Disability occurs within the period of 18 months following the Change in Control.

if such Participant is survived by the spouse to whom such Participant was married at the annuity starting date, for the life of such spouse, in an amount equal to 100% of the Benefit payable to such Participant. The Benefit payable to such spouse
shall not be terminated on account of such spouse’s subsequent remarriage. 
  
 (ii) 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity—A benefit which is payable for the life of the Participant and upon the Participant’s death,
if such Participant is survived by the spouse to whom such Participant was married at the annuity starting date, for the life of such spouse, in an amount equal to 50% of the Benefit payable to such Participant. The Benefit payable to such spouse
shall not be terminated on account of such spouse’s subsequent remarriage.

by Code Section 409A, such New Election shall not take effect until 12 months after the date the New Election is made, (y) if the Benefit payment is not triggered by death or Disability, payment of Benefits subject to the New Election
shall not commence until five years after the date the payments would otherwise have begun and (z) the New Election is made at least 12 months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid. 
  
 6.6. Automatic Lump Sums. Notwithstanding Sections 6.7 and 6.8,
if the Actuarial Equivalent of the amount payable to a Participant or Beneficiary on the Payment Date is fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or less, it will automatically be paid in the form of a lump-sum distribution. 
  
 6.7. Death Benefits. 
  
 (a) If a Participant dies while employed by the Company or a Related Company
after having attained age 45 and completed 60 Months of Service, but before having attained age 55, then subject to Section 5.6, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to a monthly benefit for 15 years,
commencing on the Payment Date, in an amount equal to 55% of the Participant’s Benefit computed under Section 5.2; provided, however, that for every month of age over age 45 attained by the Participant, the amount paid
shall be increased by .1667% per Month of Service completed by the Participant. 
  
 (b) If a Participant dies while employed by the Company or a Related Company after having attained age 55 and completed 60 Months of Service, then subject to Section 5.6, the Participant’s

by which the first payment precedes the date upon which the Participant would have attained age 60, the amount paid shall be reduced by 0.4167%. 
  
 (c) If a Participant dies after Termination or Disability, then subject to Section 5.6, his or her surviving Beneficiary shall be entitled to the

 6.8. Disability. If a Participant becomes Disabled at any time after having attained age 45 and completed
60 Months of Service, then such Participant shall, in lieu of any other Benefit, be entitled to a benefit under this Section 6.8. Such disability benefit shall be equal to 55% of the amount of the Participant’s Benefit computed under
Section 5.2, but increased by .1667% per Month of Service for every month of the Participant’s age in excess of 45 years but less than 60 years. Such disability benefit shall be payable as a single life annuity or, to the
extent permitted under Section 6.5, a joint and survivor annuity (but not any other form of benefit), in each case commencing on the Payment Date, without regard to the age of the Participant at the time of the Disability. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each monthly payment of such disability benefit shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of all disability benefit payments (if any) that the Participant receives for the same month under all applicable 

  

 13 








 
group long-term disability plans of the Employer, to the extent such offset is permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(ii)(A). 
  
 6.9. Designation of Beneficiary. In the event Benefits are payable
under the Plan on behalf of a deceased Participant who has a surviving spouse, the remaining Benefits will be paid to another Beneficiary only if the spouse consents in writing to such designation. If there is no designated Beneficiary or surviving
spouse, the Benefits will be paid to the Participant’s estate.

Disability. 
  
 (a) Every person receiving or claiming
Benefits under the Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent and of age until the Administrator receives written notice, in a form and manner acceptable to it, that such person is incompetent or a minor, and that a guardian,
conservator, statutory committee, or other person legally vested with the care of his or her estate has been appointed. In the event that the Administrator finds that any person to whom a Benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to properly care
for his or her affairs, or is a minor, then any payment due (unless a prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or a brother or sister, or to any person deemed
by the Administrator to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to payment. 
  
 (b) In the event a guardian, conservator or statutory committee of the estate of any person receiving or claiming Benefits under the Plan shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, payment shall be made
to such guardian, conservator or statutory committee, provided that proper proof of appointment is furnished in a form and manner suitable to the Administrator. 
  

 (c) Any payment made under the provisions of this Section 6.11 and otherwise in compliance with the Plan shall be a complete discharge
of liability therefor under the Plan. 
  
 6.12. Withholding for
Taxes. Any payments out of the Plan shall be reported to the applicable taxing authorities and may be subject to withholding for taxes that the Company determines are required by any applicable federal, state or other law.

 ARTICLE IX 
  

MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS 
  
 9.1. Amendment or Termination. 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.1, the Compensation Committee may amend or terminate the Plan at any time by an instrument in
writing executed in the name of the Company. 
  
 (b) Subject to
Section 9.1(d) below, no amendment may be adopted that would (i) reduce the dollar value of a Participant’s vested Benefit, (ii) eliminate a form of benefit payment, or (iii) delay the date on which a Participant’s
vested Benefit becomes payable, without the consent of the affected Participants; provided that a reduction in a Participant’s Benefit resulting from a change in the mortality table or interest rate used in determining Actuarial
Equivalence as permitted by Section 2.1 shall not require the Participant’s consent. 
  
 (c) After the occurrence of a Change in Control, no amendment may be adopted that would affect Section 2.9, Section 5.7, this Section 9.1
or Section 9.6(d) of the Plan in a manner adverse to any Participant without that Participant’s written consent. 
  
 (d) In the event of the termination of the Plan, (i) the requirements of Section 5.3 shall cease to apply to those Participants who are employed
by the Company or a Related Company on the date of such termination, (ii) the reduction in Section 5.4 shall continue to apply, provided that the second sentence therein shall apply to any Participant whose age on the date of such
termination is less than age 60 based on the Participant’s actual age on such date, and (iii) Section 5.6 shall cease to apply; provided, however, that no termination of the Plan shall be effective for any Participant who has
not completed the service requirement set forth in Section 3.3 until such Participant completes such service requirement. The termination of the Plan will not accelerate the date on which Benefits become payable under the Plan unless the
payment of such Benefits is made in accordance with the applicable requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan may be amended at any time and in any manner that the Compensation Committee determines, in
its sole and absolute discretion, to be necessary to ensure that the Plan and all Benefits thereunder comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. 
  
 9.2. Effect of Merger of Company. 
  
 (a) In the event of a consolidation, merger, sale, liquidation, or other transfer of substantially all of the operating assets of the Company to any other
company, the ultimate successor or successors to the business of the Company shall automatically be deemed to have elected to continue the Plan in full force and effect, in the same manner as if the Plan had been adopted by resolution of its board
of directors. 
  
 (b) The presumption set forth in
Section 9.2(a) above shall not apply if the successor, by resolution of its board of directors, elects not to so continue the Plan in effect. In 
  

 19 








 
such a case, the Plan shall terminate as of the effective date set forth in the board resolution. The termination of the Plan will not accelerate the date on
which Benefits become payable under the Plan unless the payment of such Benefits is in accordance with the applicable requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). 
  
 9.3. No Enlargement of Employee Rights. 
  
 (a) The Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract
between the Company (or a Related Company) and any Employee, or to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Employee. 
  
 (b) Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company
(or a Related Company) or to interfere with the right of the Company (or a Related Company) to discharge any Employee at any time. 
  
 9.4. Restrictions Against Alienation. A Participant’s Benefit under the Plan may not be assigned or alienated, either voluntarily or
involuntarily. 
  
 9.5. Individual Agreements. In the case
of a Participant whose terms of employment with the Company or a Related Company are subject to the provisions of an Individual Agreement, to the extent that the terms of the Individual Agreement provide the Participant with greater benefits than
would otherwise be determined under the provisions of the Plan, the terms of the Individual Agreement shall prevail, to the extent set forth in a written agreement between the Company and to the Participant dated on or after the Effective Date.

  
 9.6. Interpretation. 
  
 (a) Article and Section headings are for reference only and shall not be
deemed to be part of the substance of this instrument or to enlarge or limit the contents of any Article or Section. 
  
 (b) Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, masculine gender shall include the feminine, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural
shall include the singular. 
  
 (c) In the case of any ambiguity,
the Plan shall be construed in such a manner so as to comply with the provisions of ERISA, including the fact that 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. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary and to the extent applicable, it is intended that the Plan comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and the Plan shall be interpreted, construed and
administered in accordance with this intent, so as to avoid the imposition of taxes and penalties on Participants pursuant to Code Section 409A. The Company and the Related Companies shall have no liability to any Participant, Beneficiary or
otherwise if the Plan or any amounts paid or payable hereunder are subject to the additional tax and penalties under Code Section 409A.

 (e) Prior to the Restatement Effective Date, the Company operated the Plan in good faith compliance with
Section 409A and certain Internal Revenue Service transitional rules then in effect. Unless subsequently changed in accordance with Section 6.5(d), written distribution elections prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall remain in
effect hereunder, even to the extent that the specific election choices offered for such period may not be available under the terms of this Plan document and/or specific election choices available under this Plan document may not have been offered,
provided that subsequent actions with respect to such elections (e.g., changes thereto, forms of distribution, claims procedures) shall be governed by the terms of this Plan document.
